This post has been sitting in my head for quite some time and it finally has to come out. Being that we are now living in the age of social networking and people can hide behind a computer to say nasty things to someone that they don't even know...I have been seeing a comment quite often lately on Facebook debates over vaccinations. The comment being that "non vaccinating parents should be labeled as child abusers." Wow. I would never even think of saying that to a vaccinating parent! Because I know that deep down I respect the fact that they are doing what is best for their child, just as I know that I am doing what is best for mine.
In fact, let me go on to tell you why nothing could be further from the truth. My husband and I did not go into this decision lightly, our oldest 2 children are almost completely up to date but while I was pregnant with our 3rd I started hearing some things about why we should do more research. We read, we researched, we spoke with our Dr. and our Chiropractor and we came to the conclusion that this is not want we want for our children. We were done. Yet, the journey had just begun...we don't decline vaccinations and sit back and rely on herd immunity (basically that theory is crap anyway), no, we choose to give our bodies the best we can to aid its natural immune system. I limit sugar, make as much as I can from scratch, I am diligent about tending to my families gut health, when we do come down with something we give herbs, oils, homeopathic remedies, broth, probiotic foods, and lots of rest so that our bodies can do the job it was designed to do. Our bodies are amazing healing machines and when given the right fuel, it can do some astounding things.
I once saw somebody post that they would rather risk their child get autism than risk getting one of the diseases that the vaccinations protect against. REALY?!?!?! I dare you to say that to someone that has a child that has been damaged from vaccines. My children and I fully recovered from the chicken pox in about a week...autism, in most cases, is for life.
I am trying to figure out how on earth the fact that I choose not to inject my children with toxins (here is a list on the CDC's site and this is just the tip of the iceberg, the list goes on to include things from MSG to aborted fetal cells) that will produce a false immune response and may not even protect them anyway, gives someone the right to call me a child abuser. By the way, if your vaccines work so well then what do you have to fear from my unvaccinated children that are hardly ever ill, and when they are we give healing foods to help build their immune system, not antibiotics that destroy all of the good gut flora along with the bad. By doing so we are strengthening their immune system even further making it stronger and stronger all the time. When you look at it this way, I think this makes me mom of the year!
