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.

the only math I am good at

Genetic predisposition + environmental toxins = AUTISM

Despite the fact that many people say that the true cause of autism is unknown, I believe that in order to join a battle, one has to recognize what they're fighting. Of course, in order to do that in the case of autism, you'd have to choose from several "suspects": drugs, bad mothering, vaccines, eating seafood while pregnant, physical trauma to the child, genetics...etc.

I chose my enemy, and can only pray that I'm fighting the right one.

Yes, I believe vaccines had a part in what happened to NBear. Yes, I believe that she just happened to be one of the 150 whose genetic makeup made her more sensitive to the toxins in our environment. Yes, I wish someone had told me that it was okay to follow a more relaxed vaccination schedule.....but most of all, Yes, I believe there is still a part (hopefully a huge one) of her that can still come back from all of that. That's why we're here.

Rabbits, Vaccines, and Teeth

Nope, the topic of today's post is not "How to avoid rabies". It is simply to state the following:

1. Thanks SO much, R (aka C, or C-la B-la :) for finding the wabbits for us. I will definitely check on it this weekend. They were more reasonably-priced than I thought! I'm still debating whether or not I should take NBear, though....she might want to buy the entire supply.

2. For all my friends who are going to have kids, just HAD kids, or are planning on having kids - I urge you to read this book about vaccines that I also purchased, by Dr. Sears. It does not eliminate any shots, just suggests a new shot schedule. (Which is good because I for one do NOT believe in exposing any child to the possibility of getting a serious disease.)

3. ...and finally.....could my ears be deceiving me? It seems NBear's teeth grinding has lessened. Don't know why, and don't want to get my hopes up too fast, but - when your ears just get so used to the constant sound of enamel against enamel, the sound of silence (though intermittent) is definitely GOLDEN.
