Make informed decisions.
Honestly. Your life is yours, and you need to make decisions where you know what you are doing. You are also in charge of your offspring. Only You can make the decisions best for your family. Information is paramount.
Many years ago I was told by a dear friend, (who was living a nightmare of a child paralyzed by the MMR vaccination) to NOT vaccinate. She begged me to know what I was doing, and to delay the shots. I was not very educated, and my first child only had the normal side effects, like swelling, bruising, lumps under her skin headaches fatigue and pain. Really, the side effects are SO completely rare, negligible really. So despite knowing what my friend was going through, I took my son to the dr. for his shots. Now in hind site, I should have really paid attention to stuff, Like the fact that I am allergic to everything, like the fact we live in Windsor. Windsor having the highest rates of pollution, cancer heart defects and many other things. I let them give the shot, and with in hours my baby was screaming this sound that I can never forget. Thick green mucus then started coming out of his eyes nose and ears, he started having these little seizures. His head would twitch to one side and the screaming didn’t stop. I went to the Hospital, they said he had a sinus infection, I told them we had just vaccinated; they said there was absolutely no correlation. I took him to our family pediatrician. He told me that he had some kind of sinus infection and an eye infection, he gave me a sulfa drug, and an antibiotic. He refused to document a vaccination reaction, and refused to give me the lot number of the vaccination. I went home. I gave my baby the eye drops, and he started screaming worse (if that is even possible) when he opened his eyes, he had blisters on his eyes. I called the pharmacy, they told me to take him to ER, it sounded like an allergic reaction to the eye drop. Instead I called my friend (an ER nurse) she told me what to do and I stayed home with my screaming child. I wont tell you what the rest of the year is like. I only remember bits and pieces, I stopped journaling. Somewhere in that next year I started reading. Catherine Diodati who has written many articles and a book or two) (http://www.whale.to/vaccines/diodati.html) helped me to find resources to educate myself.
It is no secret that information is hidden from the public. We are only told what “someone” has deemed it necessary for us to know. The newspaper tells us what they think we need to know. The food industry, drug companies, Doctors and other organizations are all doing the same thing. Their decision, not yours.
Everyone has an agenda, and it is vitally important for you to remember that in all you do. You can then choose whose agenda is closer to what you believe in and can accept for your life.
It is a sad world we live in where we are no longer allowed to make decisions based on facts and reality. We are fed information that is watered down and worded in such a way, that we walk away feeling that we were not actually given an accurate answer.
We are right. We have been walked in a circle, and we are no further ahead. We are taught from an early age to obey blindly those smarter then us, because they know better then us. So we do, like sheep, we follow what we are told to do.
I find this so amazing.
As a society, we disobey SO many things that can actually help us, keep us alive and safe but when there is a medication for something that is not a risk to us, we just do it.
Now back to drug companies.
Drug companies KNOW there are bad life altering permanent side effects. They need the money though, so they can make better drugs, do more research and maybe help someone to stay alive. It is not with out a cost though. So the drug company tell the doctors the potential side effects of the drugs they are recommending us be taking. They tell the dr. a watered down version as to not blow anything out of proportion, The doctor in no way is ordered to tell us before giving us these drugs. If the doctor does tell us(if we ask) the doctor gives us a vague watered down version of what they received… AFTER ALL, We are uneducated, the doctor is very educated, we need to blindly follow and believe that this other smarter person has our best interest at heart. We should believe that this other person knows what else we are doing to our bodies that will not have side effects on any drugs they are giving us.
I find it so funny that we as a society are starting to read food labels, we know that food colouring is bad for us, that it can cause behavioral issues, We know that artificial MSG is bad for us, causing nerve issues, hyperactivity and a plethora of other issues, there are also other man made chemicals that we see in foods, (like the evils of yummy ice-cream and formaldehyde.) We don’t use certain deodorants because they are linked to a higher rate of Alzheimer's disease. We don’t drink the water because of fluoride and chlorine. We will absolutely with out question jab some drug into us with out knowing what is in it, and what it can do to us. All because we were trained to follow.
OK, so back to the Doctor and the drug companies. A drug company comes along, tells our Doctors that they have a drug they want he doctors to give their clients. They tell the dr that the client will be healthier, that this drug is helping the immune system to build antibodies for some diseases.. It is not a guaranteed thing, and some people will not be immune, and others may die or become seriously ill. The Doctor is told not to worry, the amount of people that will die or become permanently damaged is so small, that the benefits of the drug, outweighs that persons death or discomfort.
Sure, that is great unless you the person, that has no education in drugs and side effects and health and illness and is one of those people that are the lucky small amount that suffer. The funny thing is that no one knows who will react. It is a gamble. There are so many factors, like are you healthy? Are you incubating something where your immune system is working really hard to help your body fight something?? Or have you consumed so many chemicals in your food, that your system is at its breaking point? Then you go to your doctors, get an irreversible injection, and your immune system goes crazy, or your brain swells and starts to hemorrhage (a side effect to some drugs) or you suddenly develop guillain-barre syndrome.
When reading some articles online(I know, this can be bad too, because there are so many points of view) I found this. “Thimerosal (Mercury) Content: Some vaccines given at ages 2, 4, and 6 months of age contain thimerosal, including diphtheria/tetanus/acellular pertussis (DTaP) (25 micrograms of mercury in most preparations), hepatitis B (12.5 micrograms in some preparations), and Hib (25 micrograms in some preparations).(92) It is possible that some infants receive more than l00 times the amount of mercury that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says is the maximum allowable daily exposure. Current EPA standards limit the daily safe dose of mercury to 0.1 µg/kg, or less than 1.0 µg for the average two-month-old infant.(93)” (http://www.haciendapub.com/buttram.html)
What are we doing to ourselves and our children? The point of this is so that you will take charge of your life. I want people to think for themselves. I want my friends and loved ones to know what they are doing to themselves. What are the long term side effects, what are the potential risks. I have to laugh every year, they come out with a flu vaccination, they tell people that the vaccination, is actually not the vaccination for the current flu strain(because the flu strain keeps changing ) but they also really push and say, please take it, because it “MAY” make the flu less potent, “if” you are exposed to it. That is a lot of maybes, for something that has such crazy side effects. I don’t like Russian roulette, or gambling, and while life is a gamble (you never know when your time is up) I believe that we need to decrease our exposure to things that can harm us as much as possible.
Now please don’t judge, I have had people tell me that as a Christian I need to trust God to save me and keep me well. I absolutely do, Having said that, God also gave me brains to not walk in front of a dump truck that is driving down the road and expect to live. We are all allowed to make decisions. My God is like that, He wants us to think for ourselves. He wants us to lean on Him. He wants us to learn from our mistakes, and maybe help someone else to make a decision that will keep them alive. I am no where near perfect, I still drink coffee even though I know it is bad for me, I am work of art, being molded and changed every day to be given the strength to keep my temple alive, and healthy for Him.
Below are some links of stuff you can read through, with an open mind, and to know that there are radicals everywhere. It is your job to extract the information and apply some it to your lives.
Knowing what I do, that Doctors are refusing to record adverse reactions, and that those rare side effects are not rare, they are just not published, I tend to err on the side of caution. I have been learning about health and vaccinations for 12 years. I have been learning about what to do if potentially exposed to an illness or bacteria. I know what causes tetnus, and how to get it, how to prevent it and we take natural stuff to keep our immune system strong, and to prevent us from contracting many illnesses.

I read this one and laugh, they try to reassure us that the vaccinations are safe, and tested and there are no errors. We should NEVER forget the fact that people make errors, and lots are regularly (and recently) pulled back because of contamination and a bad batch. Also, there were incidence where infants were given adult doses by mistake. Or where shots were reused by mistake(one shot given to 2 different people, same needle) You have to look through the words and see the truth. Are you comfortable with the odds?

Vaccines; Who Makes Them, and What’s In Them?
Compiled by Dawn Winkler of Concerned Parents for Vaccine Safety
The following is a description of the various chemical compounds added to vaccines for stability and other marketing purposes that have nothing to do with children's health. The information was obtained from the 1997 Physician's Desk Reference. This is a representative, not a comprehensive, list of various types of vaccines. For several entries, there are direct phone numbers.
