"I live in the UK and have a healthy and vibrant 3 year old daughter who is, I am proud to say, completely unvaccinated. She has no health problems, no allergies, no food intolerances, and takes no medicines. She is by far the healthiest kid in our street. Is this due to her avoiding vaccines? I believe so, but as the 'powers that be' never fancy comparing the health of vaccinated and unvaccinated children in a scientific manner, I guess I can't prove it. The fact that this kind of study has never been done by manufacturers or governments says it all.
Our experience of the health authorities here in the UK wasn't too bad - I know some people get bullied a bit, but we only got a bit of gentle pressure after my daughter was born. If you know what you're talking about and stand your ground, the midwifes/health visitors don't seem to push things. Our parents were harder work, the vaccine dogma seems to run deep in their generation I'm afraid.
I recall a neighbour (a pharmacist) telling me how many children had died of measles at his hospital in London. I then had to point out to him that the last child to die of an acute measles infection in the UK was in 1992!! Once you do your research, the level of ignorance surrounding vaccines is quite depressing, even amongst so-called health professionals.
Although I have strong feelings about avoiding vaccines, I almost always keep my views to myself - experience has shown me that people can get very defensive about the subject. I have absolutely no regrets about not vaccinating my child, but sometimes I wonder how parents that have decided to vaccinate feel. Once it's done there's no going back, and even if they have doubts, I think it's virtually impossible for parents to admit to themselves that they might have done something that has harmed their children.
To parents thinking about not vaccinating their children, I would just say do your research, read widely and don't just absorb the mainstream views. You will discover that there is a lot of bad science, dirty money and dirtier politics surrounding vaccination. "
"I am a mother of 4 girls......8,6,4 (going on 14), and 1. I was very educated from day one of conceiving my first child. I graduated with a degree in Human Biology and a Doctorate in Chiropractic. I knew from the beginning that I was NOT vaccinating my children or giving them any drugs unless absolutely necessary. At this point, none of my girls have received a vaccine nor have they been prescribed an antibiotic for infection, nor have I given them fever reducing drugs. All 4 girls are very healthy, never missing school, no trips to the pediatrician.....for anything! They do come down with a common cold every great once in awhile or a very rare case of the puke germ; otherwise, these girls just do not get sick! I contribute their health partly to not being vaccinated. Being a Chiropractor, I do adjust their spines and feed them very well with the right foods which also contributes to their health.
All 4 girls seem to excel scholastically as well as socially. With having 11 nieces and nephews that were vaccinated, I have noticed some form of health problem or delay in their development in at least 8 of the 11 children.
The middle one has a reaction to cow's and goat's milk and has a mild type of asthma for which he does use medicine when needed. But overall he is a very healthy child.
I would consider them all very healthy. When they have a cold they get over it in a day or two. As far as childhood diseases, they have been exposed to chicken pox several times but must have immunity since they never had any of the symptoms.
Their teeth are perfect. We have no fluoride in our water and use natural toothpaste. No cavities in any of them. They are just cheerful, happy, bright kids. That's it!"
"I had a perfect pregnancy up until about 24 weeks when it was discovered I'd developed pregnancy induced high blood pressure. To cut a long story short, we had our daughter delivered at 26 weeks, 6 days. She weighed just 709 grams or about 1 pound 9 ounces. She spent at least 6 or 7 weeks in ICU and another 6 in Special Care.
I was not vaccinated at all as a child and even though I hadn't thought too much about what I would do when we had a child, well, once I got back into all my research again, talked with friends and family we decided that no, no vaccinations were going to touch our child.
We witnessed other babies in Special Care who were doing really well up until their first lot of immunisations were given and then noticed that they went downhill very quickly and were put back on CPAP again after being off it for weeks etc. Very sad to see.
Our daughter went from strength to strength each week and even though we were hounded quite rudely by one particular head nurse to vaccinate, we stuck to our guns and were very happy to bring her home after a 3 month stay in hospital.
Our daughter met all of her milestones before due time, was always in perfect health and I don't think she had her first tiny little cold/stuffy nose until she was at least 2 years old.
Compared to ALL of my friends and relative's children, our daughter has been the most healthy child out of them all suffering nothing serious at all. I think she's had two minor fevers after the age of 3 and a half which I left with no medicating and had cleared by the morning. She's only had a small handful of very minor colds which I clear up with more natural methods and really, that's it.
Despite being given no real chance in life when she was born she has the best natural immunity, has always been around lots of children and for an extreme premature child, is so enormously intelligent, happy, well balanced and healthy child.
She has never been given any antibiotics, no panadol, has never seen a doctor in her life except whilst in hospital when born. I put things like high potency Vitamin C or olive leaf extract in her water for extra added immunity, very limited junk food, organic food where possible and unlike all her friends, when she does rarely have a little cold, it's for a very short time and is much less severe.
We have not one single regret on our decision not to vaccinate. We will certainly suffer a lifetime of abuse from so called health professionals, but it will never sway us to change our mind and as far as I'm concerned, our 5 and half year old daughter is the best living proof of what natural immunity can do."
