One of the reasons I didn’t write this summer is because I was not feeling well and was very tired- so tired I think I could have slept 24/7 and still not gotten enough sleep…that’s right I am pregnant! We are very excited…hoping for a girl but will be happy with whichever comes along. We find out later this month which it is. I can’t wait! :-) 

My youngest had his well-check and he told our pediatrician that he was going to be a big brother. Well then the vaccination issue reared it’s ugly head. See I had put off all the boosters for the kids for a few years now. After researching I just wasn’t sure if I wanted my kids to put all those chemicals in their bodies, knowing how one of my children react to chemicals! So I have only gotten 2 in the last 3 years. One for the oldest so he could go to high school. The other I let the doc fear-force me into getting. It was for the youngest and was just the whooping cough portion of the booster. So at this visit the doc basically said I had to vaccinate (especially with a new baby on the way) or get out—not his exact words but that was the indication behind them. He gave me a book to read about non-vaccinated injuries and sent me on my way. Well I read the book. Funny how most of it didn’t even come close to applying- Such as the woman who has problems because of polio…but she caught it before there was a vaccination- when it was still spreading in the USA. Polio is has been considered eradicated since the 1980s. Or the story about the family who delayed their vaccinations and then went overseas. Or, my favorite, (sarcasm intended) the flu vaccination ones. Yeah like I want to shoot my kids full of mercury so they have a 3/million chance of not getting a flu that in very rare cases causes more than just a mild flu. The flu vaccine is made the year before it is needed. They don’t know which strain is going to be floating around-- they guess! So I go home and start researching again. The stuff I am finding out is ugly! Nasty! The things they put in the vaccines! {Shuddering here} And on top of that there have been some recent studies on how certain chemicals that are in the vaccines effect the brain. I just cannot see how any parent, after reading, researching, and investigating like I have can then say yes I want my kid to have them. Even if you don’t believe the studies of injuries and only see the list of ingredients…that alone would make me not agree to it. 

As I was reading and watching videos about the way it can affect the brain they went into the different injuries or issues you could have that have been linked to the vaccines. I have believed for many months now that that whooping cough vaccine that I let the doc talk me into caused my youngest to suddenly develop asthma. He had never had any signs of it before, has no family history of it, and then a couple months after the vaccine he suddenly has it? Well in the research one of the things linked to vaccines is asthma. Imagine that! It also listed language development as an area of the brain that is damaged. Well when the youngest was much younger he was talking –not necessarily sentences but words. All the sudden he couldn’t talk at all. We had to take him to a specialist who taught him sign language and then worked on verbal skills. She diagnosed him with apraxia.  Basically he couldn’t out the sounds together. At the time I didn’t think anything of it but after watching that video and reading some reports I think it was caused by the vaccine booster he had received. He had been saying full words and some words together and then he goes to not being able to say any words?? Don’t tell me that doesn’t sound suspicious! And on top of that they cause autoimmune related issues and food allergies...guess who had autoimmune issues AND food allergies??? My middle son!

So anyways I am on the lookout for a new doc that will let me make decisions on which or any vaccines to give my kids…know of any good ones?
