Guest guest Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009  I recommend "not giving", especially after my daughter developed an auto-immmune disease at the age of 21 after being immunized to go to Africa four years ago. Kris What do you all think about giving/not giving immunizations? Leslie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009  Vaccinations are not what they're advertised by the medical community. They are so filled with preservatives (mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde, etc.) that it's hard to believe that they are healthy... yet millions of babies/toddlers/children/adults are pumped full of this garbage on a daily basis. And surprise... millions of babies/toddlers/children/adults are diagnosed with auto-immune diseases and chronic illnesses on a daily basis. One of my kids was damaged by vaccinations. He was one of the lucky ones~ he didn't die. He almost did at 2 months old, but he was sleeping next to me (to ease nursing at night) and I knew that he'd stopped breathing. I ended up shaking him to get him to breathe 3 times that night. He was able to get himself to breathe the other many times he stopped that night. If he'd been in the other room in the crib, he would have died and they would have called it SIDS. The pediatrician said it had nothing to do with the shots he'd gotten 2 days before, so I continued to give him his shots. It wasn't until he'd had everything they were giving 14 yrs ago that it occurred to me to start reading up on immunizations. (stupid, I know). My son has to live with the results of these vaccinations, just as I had to deal with the guilt that I did this to him. I have to say though, that he has improved Greatly with a decent diet, and supplements (mainly cod liver oil and virgin coconut oil) to help him focus. He can tell the difference too and takes them all himself now. There are a LOT of vaccination websites out there to educate parents on the realities of immunizations, how to avoid them, and what to do instead of them. If anyone wants some, I'd be happy to list quite a few. :-) Jan G. Mom to 9, breastfeeding advocate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Doc-I'm inclined to agree on both points. I may not be quite as adamant about it, but I believe you're correct. I have seen some benefits of some immunizations, but the forcing of infants to take 6 or 7 mercury-laden shots at days-old is hazardous. With my middle son, his 12-month immunizations stopped his talking and babbling the same day. In addition, he has had speech problems that took years to recover where he was at 12-18 months.Since then, our kids have been getting "religious exemptions" for immunizations at school. (I believe that doing damage to my children is wrong, therefore, it _is_ a religious issue.)As for reversibility, I have seen marked improvements in his autistic characteristics over the last year or so. We have been using TN, combined with Food-grade peroxide, and DMSO, along with the casein-free gluten-free diet (mostly). I have not been as conscientious as I should. (administering the regimen for 3-5 days of a week, missing for a week or two at times, etc.) But the change has been very noticeable. I have recently introduced him to inversion therapy, and he will do it some. Now, to get him to work on B-ball....I think the autistic protocol would probably do good for the entire family.-DougDoc <docshillingtonTo: herbal remedies Sent: Monday, January 26, 2009 2:39:38 PMRe: {Herbal Remedies} Babies I am not ambivalent about them at all. Until the Medicos and the Pharmaceuticals straighten out their act in this area, I'd recommend against ALL immunizations. Just too risky in this day and age. I would be willing to venture that your son's autism could be entirely attributed to immunizations. I also feel that the condition can be fully reversed. But that is my opinion based on research for the most part, and only partially on clinical observation. Yours in Knowledge, Health and Freedom, Doc doug greene wrote: I'm personally ambivalent about immunizations. But I'm not about when to give them, or making sure they're mercury-free (as opposed to "free mercury!") baby's immune system is still immature and developing. Giving 6-8 immunizations (each with toxic levels of mercury) to a newborn is very damaging. If you immunize, do so after they are old enough to take the jolt to their immune system, and do the shots one at a time, and make sure _SURE_ the shots don't have mercury in them. My son has Autism, and we attribute that (at least in part) to the immunizations. -Doug Leslie Brown <lesliepepple@ > herbal remedies Saturday, January 24, 2009 10:09:18 AM Re: {Herbal Remedies} Babies What do you all think about giving/ not giving immunizations?

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I had all 8 of my kids immunized, but the last one never had any of her booster shots and I can't remember if the other 3 youngest had all their booster shots either. I would have to go back and look at records. I began to read more about immunizations is why my last one never got her last booster shots. Since we home school this was not an issue.I never allowed my kids to get the Hep B or the chicken pox shots (and shortly after the shots became available I had a kid come home with them and we had chicken pox for the next 6 weeks! A couple of them had them a bit severe and have a couple of scars each (small holes), but all survived well. Come to think of it, my now 20 year old did not have all of her immunizations as she had a blood disorder that she came down with in October 1990, at age 22 months. One of the first things the nurses asked me was did she have her shots up-to-date and I said yes, but they encouraged me not to continue with them (her immune system was down) and I didn't. She went into total remission in July 1995. Her blood disorder is Immune Thrombocytopenic Pupura (ITP, for short), which was originally called Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia (ITP) as it was unknown what the cause of this disorder was, but in 1998, my daughter donated a vial of blood to her doctor (hematologist) who had gotten a $25,000 grant to do some personal research, and she found that every child with known ITP who had donated blood had a mutation on the 6th Y chromosome, which made ITP genetic. We have no clue if me or my husband carries this defect as there wasn't enough money to test parents and I am not going to pay this out-of-pocket expense just for curiosity's sake as it costs too much. If I had it to do all over again I would not have had my kids immunized against anything, except perhaps polio. I am especially concerned about the MMR shot as I now know that my kids do not have a natural defense against this disease since they have never been exposed to it, and that their children are even more susceptible if there was to be an outbreak. And I don't mean susceptible as in getting measles, I mean as in not having any natural immunities passed down from anti-bodies from mom to baby in utero. I had measles as a child and they were more of a nuisance than an illness for my sister and I as we did not get very sick from them. It is a difficult decision that every family needs to make for themselves. I totally disagree with the government mandating them as children belong to their parents, not the government. Our children are a gift from God, not from the benevolence of our government, and for them to assume such ownership of our nations' children in mandating schooling, immunizations, or anything else is nothing less than arrogance. The bad thing is that we let them get by with it!

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Thank you Marisa. I currently eat sprouted nuts and drink Doc's Cal-Calm Tea which includes red raspberry leaf as well as many other calcium rich herbs. It not only gives Zea and I calcium but helps us relax and sleep great! We aren't quite to the teething stage yet, but Zea is already starting to dribble drool on my shoulders ☺ I agree 100% on babies communicating. Zea can tell me exactly what she needs and wants and she is 2 1/2 months. ~Kelly Corless Family wrote: The best advice I ever got about babies was the following: Babies can not be spoiled... Spoiled is left on a shelf to rot! Trust yourself as the mother of this baby over any "expert" because only you know what your baby needs. Trust your gut. When that baby cries and you heart breaks, it is for a reason, not because the baby is being manipulative but because it has a need it is communicating and only you can fulfill it! Teething pain is from lack of calcium. Satisfy the need and the pain and crabbiness goes away! Ways to get calcium to the baby include mom drinking plenty of red raspberry leaf tea, eating almonds, sesame seeds, etc. Also, if the baby is a bit fussy, I really like Dr. Christopher's Kid-e-calc. I found that a slightly larger than normal dose a couple times per day for 2-3 days usually was more than enough. My son was cutting 4 molars and all his eye teeth at the same time. 2 days of Kid-e-calc and no more complaining. Don't get stuck in the mindset of diapers. Babies can and do communicate with you. You don't need to become militant about being diaper-free, etc, but if you continually communicate and listen to your child about her potty needs, then potty training is a breeze because it is all on the continum of more independence. You can read about elimination communication in several books and on the internet. There is a group, similar to La Leche League called Diaper Free Baby that might be in your area. Keep in mind, you don't need to be militant.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I am going to wait for Zea to tell me when she is ready for something more than just milk... That is when she will start on real foods. That should be fun! Corless Family wrote:  Also, in addition to homemade, I suggest not stressing about solids. I have found that to be truly ready for solids, a baby must be able to sit un-aided, have a pincher grasp, have teeth (enzymes are added to the digestive system with each set of teeth ending with the enzymes needed for grains when the eye teeth come in), loss of tongue thrust reflex, crawling with the belly off the floor, and desiring food (not just they are 6 months and want to grab everything). I found that spoons made a nice pacifier at the table when the child acted like he wanted food but truly wasn't ready. Thus, it is quite ok to be exclusively nursing until well past a year. That is what mama's milk is for. I found that by doing all this, I never used baby food. I just fed the child what was on my plate. Broccoli spears were a hit, avocado chunks, peach chunks, potato chunks, etc. I did not do pureed foods- if the child can't eat it, she isn't ready for it! Marisa, MH Thank you Jen. I too use cloth diapers. Zea is still too little to eat and food yet but you can bet she will be getting home-made, organic baby food as well! ..

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Hi Ramona, I agree that vaccinations don't really protect against anything... There is one thing that does protect us that we love to talk about on this list that seems to be everyones favorite herb and that is.....GARLIC!!! Garlic is the best thing to have if any plague or illness starts to spread. It will stop it dead in its tracks! ~Kelly Ramona wrote: I have to laugh at Doug saying that. He is my brother, and it was his son's autism that made me start to THINK about vaxing instead of just doing. My eldest daughter was our foster child, and so that was out of our hands until she was two. I do know that she learned her first word at 1, and then got her vaccinations, and couldn't learn any words or speak at all. She has been diagnosed since then with apraxia (something Doug's second son has after they cleansed his body when they started noticing autistic symptoms coming after vaccinations). After seeing that, and starting the research, I am quite sure that I will not vax my children. I am pretty sure with Alayna's challenges that if we had continued with vaxing and gotten the two year shots (MMR at 2 is a HUGE factor in autism) she would be autistic. She has a lot of traits, but misses out on the autistic spectrum thank goodness. Autism is the one that people know, but there are so many other damages that vaccines do, and they DO NOT PREVENT catching the disease. Doctors have gotten so vax happy it is scary. There are so many things they vaccinate for. We do not need to be prevented from ever being exposed to illness. It isn't good for our bodies. In sterile hospitals they create super bugs. They have discovered that people who use antibacterial everything and keep their houses spotless actually have children more prone to illness. I like to think of the Martians on War of the Worlds. Trying to keep themselves from all sickness they made themselves more vulnerable. Remember the illnesses that are the MOST devastating to a population are those that are unfamiliar to their bodies. By trying to keep ourselves from all these illnesses aren't we making more likely a serious reaction to exposure? (And make no mistake you are exposing yourselves to them when you are vaccinated or around someone who is newly vaccinated.) There are continual wild outbreaks among the vaccinated populations.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Thought I would put my 2 cents in here. I have six children and I just caught my granddaughter in December. I am planning to be a midwife and I am a reflexologist and breastfeeding educator. I quit vaccinating with my thirda child. My oldest got very ill with some of her vacs. She was projectile vomiting everything that we gave her including breastmilk. The ped. said that it was a normal reaction. I decided then to at least put off vacs. But when my second came along I took her to the doc and they made me stand across the room while they held her down and gave her several shots. I was grief stricken and never went back to that Dr. My third came along and I thought she should be vaccinated cuz she had a cleft lip and palate and would be in and out of the hospital for sugeries.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Speaking from experience, having an unassisted pregnancy and unassisted childbirth takes a lot more study and confidence then just doing your own herbs and health. It takes a lot of determination, a lot of self examination, a lot of preparation. Now also speaking from experience, I can also say that it is so much more relaxing and peaceful. It is not simple, but giving yourself into a doctors hands may be simple, but it is not worry-free either. With Tatiana I took the tests they bullied me into, even though I knew I didn't need them. I suffered through false positives and interventions. I had a beautiful baby girl, but they didn't let me sleep with her, and woke me up constantly so I started off nursing with a baby used to night interruptions and sleep deprived myself. With Gareth, I labored through the night, but slept between contractions. I snuggled with him in my bed right away, and he is perfectly used to nights snuggled up to me, nursing when he needs to, but sleeping with me all the time. I am not sleep deprived, I had no needless interventions. I would have had him C-sectioned out of me three weeks sooner if I had been going to a doctor, as he was transverse. They wouldn't have let me " risk " labor. (He actually turned only minutes before he was born, and then as soon as he turned he shot out.) Even if they had, they would have tried induction earlier as he was so " late. " He just thought 41 weeks 3 days was the perfect baking time for himself. I studied how to turn a baby, and worked on turning him during labor. I learned how to handle emergencies, and knew which herbs to take to help prevent problems like hemorrhage and retained placenta. Jaundice was not a problem because we didn't cut the cord and sever the baby's blood supply. Everyone noticed his gorgeous red color when he was born. I also have been doing herbal baths to heal and have healed really quickly and feel wonderful even with a new baby and two young children. I took care of my nutrition (GOSH I LOVE TN!!!) I still do. He eats a ton, nurses like crazy, and still has yet to have a doctors approval to be alive.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Thank You for the kudos! I so love the mother baby bond! (Though I admit to being done with babies myself. I much perfer to hand them to the mother ). It is amazing to see a laboring mother's connection to her baby and her body. I believe that if a woman is truly prepared in every way for the birthing experience she will have a wonderful experience while in labor. This is a really neat group! I am glad I found you all and I am looking forward to learning more from each of you!

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 That is so Awesome Ramona!!!!!! What a way to do it! I had Zea with a Midwife but plan on having the others at home like you had your Gareth. It sounds like you really educated your self and had a wonderful birth. This is an example of how a natural childbirth should be. Mama is in charge and knows exactly what she is doing!!! It is so invigorating to read such a successful childbirth story. My birthing experience was an excellent one as well, but that is just not common now a days. Kelly P.s. I can't go a day with out my Total Nutrition either!!!

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I agree! Having had my own unassisted births (6) there is no way one should try this without lots of self-education and having oneself prepared mentally, physically, and spiritually. Birthing at home, whether with a midwife or unassisted, is not for the faint of heart, or those easily panicked or unable to think during a crisis. Also, if you have low pain tolerance or are not sold 100%, this may not be for you. But it is a very viable option for many women. I enjoyed your story.

Jaundice was not a problem because we didn't cut the cord and sever the baby's blood supply. Everyone noticed his gorgeous red color when he was born. I also have been doing herbal baths to heal and have healed really quickly and feel wonderful even with a new baby and two young children.I took care of my nutrition (GOSH I LOVE TN!!!) I still do. He eats a ton, nurses like crazy, and still has yet to have a doctors approval to be alive.RamonaQuoting Trina <miiitymous >:> I think we should never tell any doctor we are pregnant, and have > our children in secret at home!>> Trina >"Live in faith, not fear."

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Yes, it "bloody well hurts" but I can attest that it hurts a whole lot more in the hospital with all of their interventions! And it is not normal to be strapped down on one's back to birth! Gravity cannot do its job in helping the woman! I hurt a LOT when in labor, but there are also herbs you can take 6 weeks prior to delivery date that does wonders in preparing body to give birth and it shortens labor and delivery times. These herbs are: Red Raspberry, Black Cohosh, Lobelia, Squaw Vine, and Pennyroyal (just try to find pennyroyal at the store or online now!). I had to take major amounts for my body in order to get the help needed (everyone is different), but taking the right dosage for me was the difference in a 15-19 hour labor/delivery time to a 5-6.5 hour labor/delivery time! Well worth the cost and need to ingest up to 12 capsules or more per day! These herbs have historically been used on women who are pregnant. Lobelia and Pennyroyal are NOT to be used in early pregnancy (not before the 6 weeks of delivery) as they can cause spontaneous abortion and should be used with care. In fact, the only one of these herbs that is safe throughout entire pregnancy is the Red Raspberry, the others are only safe to use in late pregnancy!

Guffawing loudly. Maybe SOME lucky ones out there. My experience is that they don't call it labor for nothing. It's mighty hard work and let's be frank, it bloody well hurts.
