Wondering About Adverse Reactions to the Gardasil Vaccine.
A while ago I read some information about Gardasil on this website and thought I had saved it. Now I can't find it, and I want to share it with some friends. Has anyone had their daughters, nieces, and/or grandaughters suffer any adverse effects from the Gardasil Vaccine?
So What Happened?™
Oh my gosh. I don't know any of you and yet I think you are all great. Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my question about Gardasil. I really appreciate everything all of you said and the time you took to share your thoughts with me. Due to the numerous pro and con answers I received, I am going to take a while to make this decision for my girls and will do lots of extensive research in the meantime. My girls are only 12, so I feel I have some time before I have to make this decision, so I will use this time for research and to see what comes out in the news etc. as more girls have this shot. Again, thank you all.

Hello C.,
Gosh so many responses. All I know is that my cousins daughter got it and a couple of weeks later she could not walk. She could not move her arm and her leg she was in major pain and then in a wheelchair. Physical therapy got her back to walking but I believe it took a few months. This was after the first shot.

Hi C., I'm so glad you asked this question. I am 26 years old and was recently told by my Doctor to get this vaccine. I told him I would look into it. Being that I am 26, I only have until my 27th birthday to get these shots. Which only gives me until October to start the series. They are only now just testing the vaccines in women older than 26. I have decided not to get it, for a number of reasons, but mainly because there are more than one HPV virus, and the vaccine out now does not cover all of them. They are getting ready to release more vaccines that will target certain types of HPV. I wish I had a more of a personal experience to tell you about, but I myself, have decided not to get it. But, in 10 years when my daughter is 14, this maybe a awesome vaccine for her. Something that may save her life some where down the line. I'm not doubting it for everyone, I just don't think it's something that would benefit me now, at 26. Plus, in 10 years I will have statistics and much more to go by with this vaccine.
I can't find the website that I thought explained it best, but if you google HPV, in any way, what is HPV, or the HPV vaccine, there is tons and tons and tons of information on there that is helpful, and reputable! Good Luck, and I will myself be watching this post for other answers!! :)

Hi C.,
You've had lots of responses to this already (I was out of town over the weekend), but here's my 2 cents as well.
There are natural methods for reversing even early-stage cervical cancers. In my own practice of classical homeopathy, I have had patients who achieved this given the right remedy in the right potency. I will e-mail you an article I published about this in Homeopathy Today magazine last October if you want to e-mail me directly (file attachment involved). So yes, HPV is a latent virus, but as Louis Pasteur said on his deathbed, "It's not the germ, it's the terrain!" In other words, a person has to be susceptible in order to be affected by anything, including the HPV virus. And if a person is susceptible, their overall Vital Force can be strengthened even after the fact. So, I would avoid this relatively unknown vaccine, which is being pushed by the pharmaceutical companies for reasons of money rather than for any other motive.
Best to you!

I had my daughter do the three shot vaccine. The only reaction was slight dizziness after the shot, while she was still at the Doc,and slight pain at the injection sight. I am very happy I did this for her. Some people have bad reactions, but not us.
Jacqueline is incorrect. You can get the virus from only one partner.

I had my daughter vacinated with Gardasil and she had not a single adverse effect or reaction other than being a little tender for a few hours, but happens with any shot you take. Good luck.

I have 15 year old boy/girl twins...I had my daughter get the Gardasil Vaccine. She has completed the 3 shots in March or April and has had NO reaction whatsoever to the vaccine on any of the three shots. So, I cannot claim that there is any problems with the vaccine and we had no problems.
ABOUT ME: Mother of 4 children...almost 21 year-old married daughter, almost 18 year-old son graduating in 2 weeks and boy/girl twins that are 15 1/2. Married 24 years.
