Generation Rescue - Vaccines

This tidbit is taken directly from generation rescue's website. Note the advice they give about the MMR shots:

1.Take Precaution

•Consider delaying vaccines until your child is 18-24 months old.
•Do not vaccinate if your child is taking antibiotics.
•Consider no more than one vaccine per doctor’s visit.
•If you plan to get the MMR vaccine, ask your doctor to give it in three separate vaccines for measles, mumps and rubella.
•Consider giving high doses of Vitamin C (3,000-5,000 mg per day) on the day before, of, and after vaccination.
•With the measles vaccine (MMR), consider high doses of Vitamin A (5,000 IU or more) on the day before, of, and after vaccination.
•If your child experiences any developmental delays, stop vaccinating until you learn more.
•If your child has an adverse reaction to a vaccine, stop vaccinating until you learn more.
•Always ask to see the vaccine insert, and never accept a vaccine that uses the preservative Thimerosal (mercury). For a complete list of vaccines with Thimerosal, see the FDA’s website
here. Note: most flu shots today still contain Thimerosal.

For more of what they suggest (and what I would highly recommend), visit their website.
