Should I Vaccinate?
To Vaccinate Or Not to Vaccinate: That Is the Question
This is an emotional subject with those pro and anti often yelling so loud that the facts are overlooked. A great book on the subject is What Every Parent Should Know About Childhood Immunization by Jamie Murphy. The NVIC is the National Vaccine Information Center with great information as well, (www.909shot.com).
The facts actually show that the childhood diseases that we now treat with vaccines: polio (over 99% of all polio cases since 1960 have been caused by the vaccine), measles, mumps, rubella, diptheria, pertussis, tetanus were all in decline before the vaccines were widely distributed.
Within the vaccines are nasty chemicals to help 'preserve' the vaccine such as Thimerosol (used in germicides), Mercury, Aluminum, Formaldehyde are all used routinely in vaccines. These chemicals challenge the body's ability to heal and to be healthy.
There is so much pressure around vaccines that often parents accept this modern 'rite of passage' for their children without investigation. Check it out, Dr. Bill's children were not vaccinated and they are healthier and happier for it!
The point here is what does it take to be healthy? Does it take dozens of shots and medicines and interventions to our children and then on to adulthood? OR, is health an inherent quality and attribute of the human innate intelligence?
