Vaccinations & Bloodwork

So I just finished reading the book “What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Children’s Vaccinations” by Stephanie Cave. It is a very interesting and easy read. You know the saying “Hindsight is 20/20”? Well that definitely applies here. This book goes over the pros and the cons of every vaccination. It even goes into the controversial parts, like vaccinations maybe causing Autism, ADHD, etc. I told my husband that is I have another baby I would not follow the CDC’s recommended vaccination schedule. That is not to say I wouldn’t get him/her vaccinated but I would probably follow the recommended schedule in this book. There is just too many diseases/death incidents associated with the vaccinations.


It got me thinking…Maybe it is my fault that my child is ADHD…because I let the doctors give him vaccinations. From the time he could crawl he was always busier than any other child I had met but I don’t remember him having some of the emotional issues then. He was busy but he was happy. I can’t pinpoint when he changed though…I have been trying to figure it out, since reading this book, if he changed after receiving one of his vaccinations but nothing stands out. Every parent wonders at some point if they caused something in their child. One thing that will be changing is that if the doc wants to give my children a booster shot he is going to have to check his blood titers to see if they even need it. If your blood titers for a certain vaccination are so high then they are immune and they don’t need a booster shot. Most doctors don’t check these though, they just give the shot. I will also make sure that all their shots are mercury-free. Since ADHD kids are known to have high levels of mercury.

This week we go to the doc for J’s appointment. I have a list of blood work that I want the doc to run. Cross your fingers that the appointment goes well!
