I'm feeling a little confused by this. Are you suggesting that all vaccines are bad or is it only the ones that have been introduced since 1976? Are there some that are OK and other not? Is it sometimes worth the risk for the payoff you get? I'm not suggesting this is incorrect, just a little ambiguous and I'd truly love to get a balanced opinion. All I seem to come across is people who say all vaccines are bad or all vaccines are good - both of which are dangerous opinions in my book. I tend to think the truth might be somewhere i between.

The truth might be in between, but what I will never get is that WHY are we focusing so much on vaccination instead of focusing on having a perfectly good, well functioning immune system. You will only get sick if your immune system is not working properly. I have seen children getting really unwell after injection. (It is injected poison after all that meant to stimulate your immune system.)I think we should pay more attention what we feed them instead of giving all these highly processed foods, junk, sweets and expect their body work well. The amount of poison children receive nowadays are so high without vaccines let alone with them no wonder they have so much problem.

Before making the choice about whether to vaccinate my children, I opted to find some evidence to support or refute the 'conspiracy' theories about vaccination. I highly recommend reading 'Your Child's Best Shot--A parent's guide to vaccination' by Ronald Gold. It is faulty thinking to believe that by vaccinating we are damaging healthy immune systems. In fact we are utilizing the amazing capabilities of these healthy immune systems to create antibodies. There are only two ways to do that--by getting the disease or by getting vaccinated. And I dare say I would risk the side effects of vaccination any day. Further--these diseases and germs still exist. Cases are only rare as a result of vaccination. Tetanus, as an example, is around us all the time and cannot be eradicated--but illness resulting from infection with tetanus can be prevented. We live in a global community--not all countries vaccinate as we do in North America. Take a look at cross-cultural data. And with poor nutrition playing a huge role in children's health, who is to say that their young immune systems are capable of fending off disease in the first place. If you want the root cause of what some speculate to be the consequences of vaccination--blame poor nutrition.

WHo can advise of vaccinations against the Mexican Flu? I have almost 3 kids and I am in doubt what the best solution is for my kids?

I would definitely opt to have the natural disease which would confer life-long immunity instead of having a toxic chemical laden vaccine which cannot confer life-long immunity. Children whose immune systems are healthy will be able to go thro the natural disease without any complications.

Modern medicine is focused on fighting pathogens instead of researching methods into strengthening people's immune systems through natural foods, habits, sunlight, etc.

The key is to have a strong immune system.

Pathogens/diseases cannot infect a person who has a strong immune system.

The best solution is to opt for Homeopathic vsccines/prophylaxis. they are safe and without toxic chemicals such as formaldehyde and mercury, etc.

People who get Tetanus after an injury have a weak immune system.

You can take the Homeopathic remedy Ledum or Hypericum to prevent tetanus after injuries.

I wish I knew more about vaccinations before having my 2 children. I am learning now what a benefit it is to have as chemical free a lifestyle as possible.

We as human species survived millions of years and 'develloped' and all without vaccination. Makes you think, isn't it?
We refused to vaccinate our children and now they have grown up they are glad we didn't.

THE single most important thing to note here is to make an INFORMED decision.. Not just follow what the doctors say to do. Have your own thoughts.. think for yourself.. take your childs health into your own hands! Other countries dont vacc like the US does. Im my lame opinion were just guinea pigs. Make sure you do your research!

This is a really sensitive topic for many people as my wife and I soon found out when we started talking to family and friends prior to the birth of our first child. We were amazed at how passionate and intense people would become on both sides of the fence the pro and anti vaccination. We ended up deciding not to vaccinate but use Accupuncture and Homeopathy to help assist our childrens immune systems function as they should.

Quite the party stopper though to bring that one up in a room full of strangers!! :)

I don't have any children, but if I did, there would be no way I would vaccinate them. Autism is out of control these days and I personally feel it is due to all these "shots" children have to have now. It is absolutley ridiculous. I cannot imagine what all this poison does to a childs immune system, as well as an adults.

I physically saw how vaccines affected my daughter. Everytime she would get a round of vaccines, her nose would run, she couldn't sleep, she was fussy ect. Once time she got a huge lump and rash all over her body.....which the doctor's office denied it was from the vaccinations. My instincts told me to not get anymore and I am so thankful I only gave her half. She has had speech delays, severe cashew allergy and constant runny nose ect. I now realize her immune system could not handle all those toxins and I hate to think of what would have happened if I had given her the other half of her vaccinations.

I had a flue shot in 1988 because i work in a hospital. I had a severe rxn to this shot. What i learned is the CDC the AMA and the FDA all have to answer to the pharmeceutical companies - now that the United States supreme Court gave the corporations cart blanche to invest in our politicians i would not trust the above mentioned three agencies for reliable information even more so in the future. One must be diligent and use common sense to help in the maize of information/misiformation that is out there.

I have a friend who works in the medical field who keeps telling me that the link between autism and vaccination has been debunked. Anybody have any real, objective studies to point to? Each side claims the studies are obvious, but saying it doesn't prove it. I would really love to be more informed on this topic. Thanks.

I am with Susan, its hard to make an informed decision on this topic. I am 30 and planning to start having kids this year. I would prefer to have a vaccination program/plan of non vaccinating my kids - i.e. A structured process of the alternative therapy that i can follow.. It dosnt have to have any worldly accredited certified bodies approving it - (we know we are dealing with the big guys here) but just have a following of other families who can support it.

Mr Shane Goldberg, (post above 10th Dec) how did you know about the Acupuncture and Homeopathy process to boost your child's immune systems? That sounds so successful and such an amazing breakthrough! Congratulations! I would love to get that knowledge for when my time comes to protect my babies.

Anyone having problems making an informed choice on vaccination this is a must see video - very very long but the Best ever time spent - very sound medical advice! cut and paste web address below! Cheers, Laura

If you are interested in going the Homeopathic 'vaccine' route then there has been extensive research done by Dr Issac Golden. He is Australian with over 20years of research. http://www.homstudy.net/ I have started this for my 1 year old
