The Joy of Homeschooling

Nov. 15, 2007 - Vaccine dangers

    I can't believe my ears this morning as I listened to CNN highlighted news on Maryland in which parents who don't vaccinate will be put in jail. This includes the two new vaccines, one of which is the  chicken pox vaccine. Aren't we over thirty three vaccines by the early age of kindergarten entry?!! How is it that the health services have the right to decide what is safe for our children? I can't believe that we, as parents will be put in jail if we don't allow these toxins into our children, even if our children react to certain shots, resulting from autism and/or a waiver of death!! Did you know there is a group of doctors who have banned together recognizing the dangers of these shots? The East West Journal says, "Although I administered them my-self during my early years of practice, I have become a steadfast opponent of mass inoculation because of the myriad hazards they present." Did you know that Missouri has so many children getting autism from the shots that some shots, such as the MMR, that it is no longer forced on the parents any longer? Did you know that the federal government has a pot of money set aside for those whose children become autistic or other problems (seizures, mental problems...) because they know (THE GOVERNMENT KNOWS) that children have permanent health problems from the shots? Did you know that I have a speech therapist for my son who's son became autistic immediately after the shot? Did you know that I have a list of five people that I know that have autistic children because of these shots? If you mention this to my pediatrician he says it is a small price to pay for the greater good? Since when are our children guinea pigs?!! My daughter came within six weeks of autism because of the shots until I did some drastic measures. I gave her a hair analysis and her mercury was so high, off the chart that it was almost to the point of death. I still have that hair analysis as we try and get all of the mercury from the shots out of her body, which is a slow process because it is stored in the back of the brain and too much out at once will destroy her liver. Here is my story.  Does anyone think it is odd that the pharmaceutical companies have their hand in a money pot with the legislatures and health department, those responsible for making these decisions?!!! Aren't their interests compromised? We are about to celebrate Thanksgiving, our nation's key important holiday in which we remember the sacrifices that these pilgrims and Puritans made to raise their children here in America. Where is our freedom as parents?? Have our legislatures forgotten this? Call the Maryland representatives. Let our voices be heard before the rest of the states try and follow suit. How infuriating!!!! It is not our state's children they are our children. How dare they!!!

Here is a quote from an informative link:

"Most people are unaware of the dangers of childhood vaccinations. In 1998, strong evidence for a link between MMR (mumps, measles, rubella) vaccination and autism and bowel disease in children was announced by UK doctors. In a further study, led by Professor John O’Leary, the measles virus was found in the intestines of 24 out of 25 children who developed ‘autistic enterocolitis. This was after an apparently healthy infancy (31). “The findings raise urgent new concerns over the safety of [the] MMR vaccine – the combined mumps, measles and rubella vaccination given routinely to hundreds of thousands of children every year”. Some of the doctors who discovered the link were warned not to talk to the press about the findings and were shunned by ‘experts’ in the medical research council.

There is no scientific evidence proof that vaccines can be credited with eliminating any childhood disease. Epidemicological research, the study of disease and health in populations, shows that better nutrition, clean water, sanitation and better living conditions are responsible for the drop in disease. Dr.Robert Mendlesohn MD once said “There has never been a single vaccine in this country [the USA] that has ever been submitted to a controlled scientific study. They never took a group of 100 people who were candidates for a vaccine, gave 50 of them a vaccine and left the other 50 alone to measure the outcome. And since that hasn’t been done, that means if you want to be kind, you will call vaccines an unproven remedy. If you want to be accurate, you’ll call people who give vaccines ‘quacks’”(32).

Not only do they possibly not work, there is growing evidence that vaccines possibly cause autism, allergies, epilepsy, learning disorders, ADD, ADHD, asthma, diabetes, dyslexia, hearing problems, vision problems, digestive disorders, stuttering and developmental delays. Many of the conditions associated with the psychic children. Vaccine damage creates inflammation at the base of the brain, which causes the ‘insulation’ or myelin sheath that protects the nerves to dissolve. The brain then short-circuits which affects many bodily functions. Researchers and doctor’s have noticed the similarities of autism and brain dysfunction to toxic poisoning. The toxic substances that linger in vaccines are due to a surprising production procedure. After the ‘live’ virus has been aquired, it must then be attenuated, or weakened for human use. The virus is passed through animal tissue several times to reduce its potency. The polio virus is passed through monkey kidneys; the measles virus is passed through chick embryos; and the rubella virus is passed through the dissected organs of an aborted human foetus! Foreign genetic material that is passed through animal cells can potentially alter our genetic makeup and mutate our DNA.

The weakened virus is then strengthened with antibody boosters and stabilisers. This process uses drugs,antibiotics and toxic disinfectants such as; neomycin, streptomycin, sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide, aluminum hydrochloride, sorbitol, hydrolysed gelatin, formaldehyde and thimerosal (mercury). Microscopic amounts of aluminium, formaldehyde and mercury can lead to cancer, neurological damage and death. But still our children are injected with them.

Unexpected animal viruses can jump the species barrier as well. This happened in the 1950’s and 60’s when millions of people got infected with the SV-40 virus from monkeys. SV-40 is an immunorepressor and trigger for HIV. It is said to create the same symptoms as AIDS, and has been found in brain tumors, leukaemia and various cancers. It is considered a cancer-causing virus. According to Dr.Harris Coulter, nearly 20% of children are neurologically damaged by vaccination (33). Vaccinations are ‘pushed’ on to children in schools and at the doctor’s surgery. There is no scientific proof they actually do what they are supposed to do, so why bother taking them? According to the medical profession and the government, vaccines are essential for children to protect them from diseases, but when we look at the evidence, NOT having vaccinations is the more healthy option. I repeat, there is no scientific proof that vaccinations prevent the diseases they say they do. There is also evidence that vaccines do not stay in the body for very long, as they are supposed to do. So lets look at another side to the debate."

Another great link and quote: "Neurologic diseases increase massively, e.g. autism. Autism is made by damage of the immune system by vaccination and heavy metals."

"It’s obscene to threaten to seize a child just because his parents refuse medical treatment that is obviously unnecessary and perhaps even dangerous," said Dr. Orient. "AAPS believes that parents, with the advice of their doctors, should make decisions about their children’s medical care -- not government bureaucrats. This Resolution affirms that position."

I know, I read this in the paper yesterday and it made me angry too. I am so thankful that I can homeschool my boys! I wonder if the public school system allows some children to be exempt from the shots if their parents are opposed.?

On CNN they said that no one was exempt, even if your child had reactions to the shots. The doctor that was speaking in support of this decision had said this.

You go lady!!!! I was horrified when I saw that on the news yesterday and thankful I didn't live in Maryland. I truely believe my second oldest has a learning disability because of her shots. I have seen a child who was total incabable of doing anything but sit in a wheel chair and droole and the doctors admitted that is was do to the vacines. The girls and I went to his 18 birthday back in 1999. I started researching and let my husband know what I was finding out. He works in a hospital and sees a lot. We have decided not to vacine any more. I know my family would be horrified by this. oh well my children are not the governments guine pigs. I love what you have put here. Thank you

We don't vaccinate either. I have just had never had any peace of about it. Given that our children our homeschooled and not as much part of the 'herd', I figured not vaccinating was always the safest option for them. I still have lots of questions about it. I thought my mother in-law would have issues with us not vaccinating , but as it turns out, she never vaccinated her boys.

Nov. 16, 2007 - My experiences

Posted by momofsix

I never felt a peace from God to vaccinate either. However, the pediatricians bully. They wouldn't take no for an answer in FL when I lived there, and I was too young to understand my rights then. They won't take no for an answer here in the midwest, either. They also gave me false information about the shots, saying they didn't have mercury in them. They were misinformed, I think, themselves because even my present pediatrician said that there is still mercury in the MMR shot. Mercury is a cheap preservative so the drug companies like what is cheap, according to my aunt who teaches autistic children in the schools. She said they could choose a different, more expensive mercury preservative, but they don't want to pay the money. She sees a lot of children who become autistic after the shots as she teaches those children. My oldest three children were given the shots. They all have immune problems from the shots. My oldest was almost lost to autism. My second one suddenly became ADD, and my third has learning problems. My younger three have never had any vaccines. They are incredibly healthy and well. They almost never get sick, and get sick much less often than the older ones. They don't exhibit any learning problems or anything similar to the older children. The younger three are much higher functioning in their learning as well. I have to see a Musilim group of pediatricians (serious Musilims because they won't see anyone during their prayer times) because all the other pediatricians that I called refuse to see me because I no longer vaccinate. Isn't that interesting? My Musilim pediatrician said that he, as a Musilim, respects the bond between a mother and child and doesn't believe anyone has the right to violate that bond (which is why he doesn't have a problem with me refusing the vaccines). Interesting....

Yep, yep, yep! You can count my son as being one of the autistic casualties of the shots. We're still working on recovering him but who knows... I'll keep praying, keep trying. The others have "tendencies" so any shots would be the kiss of death for my children. Are we a "free" country or what anymore? It's horrifying. I've been praying for those folks...& all of us.

We battled our doctors in Missouri for YEARS concerning shots for our children. We've tolerated the shaking heads and "tsk-tsking" from judgemental nurses who are certain that we are neglecting our children because we choose not to innoculate on their schedule. We stood our ground and argued with our family doctor over which shots we would and would not give to our children. It has been a difficult battle. My wife is convinced of the link between vaccines and autism, and our doctor is convinced that she is nuts. But, we stood our ground with the medical community and we won. Itw as worth the fight. We were battling for our children.

Jun. 16, 2008 - Autism and mercury

Posted by mpetit

We have a 7 yo son with severe autism. I did not have him vaccinated because of a severe reaction at 4 mo in my oldest daughter. Nevertheless, I had a major dental work done just before pregnancy including removal of metal filling material (unknowing of course). I'd be interested in how things are for you now. Oh, and did you see (or participate in) the Green the Vaccines March on DC this June? I will try to post a link on my blog when I get the chance.
