Alternative Vaccine Schedule?

sparkswillfly · Sep 3rd, 2009, 15:02 PM

Meadow has followed the NHS prescribed route so far but I have decided not to follow it any further. Was wondering if anyone else is doing the same?

What have you declined and what are you doing when?

Do you get hounded by health visitors?

I've always been interested to know the pro's and con's of vaccinating/not vaccinating....can I ask what your reasons are? It's ok if you'd rather not say but it's a subject that interests me.

I'm in the US so no HV but we do have a pediatrician. Landon was vaccinated on schedule...Casen we were more selective..he didn't have Hep A, flu, chicken pox...Hayden doesn't get vaccinated at all and neither do the other 2 anymore.

We luckily have a very open minded pediatrician and she actually doesn't even give all the vaccines to her kids, but there are some she does but she respects our decision. We had to sign a paper showing that she told us about them and we refused..it said something along the lines of "I understand that by not vaccinating my child I'm putting them at risk for this this this and this including death" I marked out the "not" then signed it.

Basically I feel that theres just too many and theres too much uncertainty as to their safety. Sometimes they do more harm than good.

Heres a really good book that explains things quite well. The front cover makes it look a bit scare mongering but its actually really balanced and it explains about the diseases that the vaccines are supposed to protect. Its well referenced as well so you can see where he gets his information from.

The fact that there were dangerous levels of mercury in vaccines until as recently as 2004 doesnt fill me with confidence. Neither does the levels of aluminium still present in a lot of vaccines.

Edit: If you go private you can get polio and Hib vaccines which are aluminium free and you can also get a meningitis C vaccine that has less aluminium in it than the one offered at my GP. I also intend to go privately for the single measles vaccine. Im not giving her the MMR.

interesting thread sam

maddi's had her's on to schedule, except mmr, which i delayed for a few months, she hasn't had it yet, as i wanted to give her a few extra months before having her mmr, especially as she had been poorly.

with regards to my gp surgery, they've been pretty useless and never bothered to mention it or even perform the routine checks on maddi! so no hounding by hv's from here x x

The case of Hannah Poling is particularly interesting. It was admitted that vaccines injured her and were the cause of her Autism. She had a rare disorder that they say was aggravated by the vaccines, some doctors argue that the disorder may have come after the vaccines. It may have been rare but it shows there is still a link. And no one knows if their child is going to be one of the ones thats at risk of an adverse reaction. Therefore I feel like I need to do everything I can to minimise that risk. Its not just autism spectrum disorders either theres a whole host of things. By going private for some and omitting some completely I feel that Meadow will be better off in the long run.

Some flu jabs still contain mercury but they are alternatives that dont.

lauriech · Sep 3rd, 2009, 16:13 PM

Does the book explain the dangers of being vaccinated and the dangers mercury etc has on the body at any age?
