"I have had 4 children. Three of which were vaccinated with most of the vaccines. I spent their childhood with many illnesses, mostly respiratory related.
My fourth child came along later in life and after doing my own research into vaccines, as I found many changes in children's health since I was a child and the only thing I could find different was the amount of vaccines that were given. It was horrifying. When I became pregnant with my fourth child, I decided that I would not put that child through the same thing.
My daughter came early. She arrived at 30 weeks. I spent the next 6 weeks fighting with doctors and nurses at the hospital about vaccinations for her. She had no health problems, she was just small. They would not release her until I gave her the RSV vaccine. I finally let them do it so that she would be released, as they were not feeding her enough at the hospital, and she was not gaining enough weight. I attribute this to the fact that she was triple insured and she was paying for many other preemies in the NICU.
A few weeks later there was a preemie reunion at the hospital. A nurse cornered me and ask if I got the rest of the RSV series. I told her that I did not intend on it, nor any other vaccines for that matter. She told me that my daughter would end up sick and she would die without them.
My daughter is now 9 years old. She was exposed to the measles from a child that came down with the illness after receiving the vaccine. She did not get the measles. By this time she was 3 so my immunity had worn off of her by this time. She has been sick a total of three times in her whole life. Once was a cold and the other two times were stomach viruses. She has never had the "normal" ear infections, random fevers, flues, etc. that most children come down with. She is exposed to everyone. She has been to the emergency room two times. Once was for an allergic reaction to a spider bite, that also got my dog who had the same reaction, and the other time for a broken arm.
She is a normal child who participates in normal activities. I can only attribute her good health with the refusal of vaccinations. Her diet is the same as my older children.
At first I used to get a hard time for my choice by many people, but that has changed. I think there are more people becoming aware of the dangers. I still have times when people want to push them, however I respond with asking them if they can list the ingredients and the side effects of those ingredients. I have had adverse reactions to two different vaccines, that I only found out well after the fact and it was too late to do anything about it. The first time I nearly died. I feel that if there is even a miniscule chance that my child will die from a chemical medication, I will not take the chance. A healthy child can fight off a disease, a child with a compromised immune system cannot, therefore it is much safer to forgo the vaccines.
I also have my religious reasons for declining vaccinations, which I was not aware about prior to my research into the ingredients.
I do hope that more parents become aware of the dangers. My biggest wish is that the doctors that give these vaccines will give a list of the ingredients and ALL of the adverse reactions to parents before they administer the vaccines and allow the parent to decide whether it is worth the risk to their family."
"I am a mother of 3 children – My eldest is fully vaccinated, my second is partially vaccinated and my youngest has not received any vaccinations at all.
I was never completely at ease when it came to make a decision about vaccinating our children and just went with “what was usually done” as I didn´t have any credible information at the time to support a decision not to vaccinate.
It was through my studies as a homeopath that I experienced a different approach to health and started to do further reasearch into vaccinations and the possible concequences.
The difference in the level of my childrens health is clear.
In hindsight – my oldest (fully vaccinated) may have experienced adverse reactions from his vaccinations, having to deal with delayed language development, ADD, stomach upsets, food intolerances and persistent low grade fever.
My second child (partially vaccinated) experienced repeated ear infections in her first year of life, which were successfully helped with homeopathy, as well as not receiving any more vaccinations beyond her first year.
My youngest and the healthiest of the lot, has never had any vaccinations. She is a very vital, healthy and happy child and in her young life she has only ever experienced the occasional cold and runny nose that blow over in a matter of days. She is often the only child at the childminders not to fall ill with the flu, get the stomach bug or have a bad cold.
I am very happy with our decision not to vaccinate and have never doubted the decision. I only wish I would have had the resources to do the reasearch into vaccinations earlier, so that all of my children could enjoy a strong and healthy natural immunity."
"I have 3 wonderful sons, ages 16, 17, 23. All three have never been vaccinated and 2 of my sons have never needed to take an antibiotic, while my oldest son was forcefully injected in both thighs by a nurse in a pediatrician's office without my knowledge nor consent. We were both devastated by this event and in retrospect I should have sued the pediatrician. The antibiotic only made him sicker and it was homeopathy, specifically the remedy arsenicum album, which got him well. All three are highly gifted, which means they have genius IQ's, all three excelled in soccer, are social and well adjusted. All three have enjoyed great health, and when they rarely do get sick it is from poor eating habits and late nights. I have never regretted my decision not to vaccinate, although some people tried to make me feel like I was a bad mother for not doing so.
I have a friend who was unaware of her right not to vaccinate, and though she was very hesitant, she vaccinated her daughter against Hepatitis B when she was 12 years old and she developed type 1 diabetes as an auto-immune reaction from the vaccine destroyed her pancreas."
"My unvaccinated daughter just turned 9 years old. All I can say is her health is incredible despite the fact that I had to stop breast feeding her after 2 weeks of age. My 3 other vaccinated children whom I nursed between 9 and 22 months were never as healthy especially in the first 5 years of life. My daughter has zero learning disabilities. She is athletic. She loves music and art and has friends galore.
I try very hard to feed my children a healthy diet and I make everything from scratch. We drink raw milk and bone broths. I sproat, grind and soak my grains. However, my unvaccinated daughter loves junk food and at parties she doesn't hold back. Yet she doesn't get sick. I treat all my children using homopathic medicine, herbs and rest when they have colds or infections. We do not use any pharmacutical products."
