My daughter got a double dose of tetanus with diphteria after a minor accident at a playground a year ago. Afterward she had some major problems, and went from being happy in school to not wanting to go. She seemed bi-polar, ODD, got violent with teachers and other kids, had a severe problem with dyslexia and co-ordination disorders. After being forced to take her out of school, I took her to several practitioners, and found more than one tell me that the vaccine we had had been was causing some of these issues. We are doing several healing modalities, went on a whole new diet and it has really worked pretty well, except for dealiong with toxins still. I have also discovered so many are dealing with toxins in kids, and also have seen a lot of negative effects through vaccines. i am wondering what others have found, and if you have heard similar stories? This seem so crazy and I also know we have chem-trails overhead, and should we all wonder what that is all about, and what it is doing to our kids? Does anyone have any answers or experience with this, as it seem to affect some kids and not others at all. and if you are dealing with clearing toxins in your kids, what worked for you and what did not?
Blessings

So What Happened?

Wow, I just posted this and already so many answers... keep them coming, if you have have similar questions, or experiences regarding toxins that our kids are exposed to, such as the ones in vaccines. For those of you who has strong beliefs that it is not vaccines or toxins causing reactions in children, thank you, but you do not need to answer here. In this case your view is not adding anything. I am not against vaccines as such and I know it might have played a part with some illness ( even though the numbers of illnesses vaccinated against now severely declined before vaccines were brought in, something the medical establishment chooses to not tell us, or they are not told themselves). I am more interested in what it is doing to our kids today, and what we need to question. I respect those who vaccinate ( for we are being told to do it, as by law doctors have to advice this), however am more interested in hearing from others with similar stories, or experiences with eliminating toxins. Regarding my daughter it has been shown to be toxins and not behavior problems. We live a very healthy life, always eating organic, omosis water etc. We do not have history of illnesses or medications or alcoholism. My daughter has been to play therapists and psychologists, neurologists, neuro psychologists, several other doctors and have had many evaluations. There is nothing wrong with her psyche, and each day as we are doing more and more to eliminate toxins, she is getting better. The last month she has gone from not being able to do her ABS's to reading and writing her own books! It showed, due to testing, that it was chemical overload in the body and I think it needs to be taken a bit more seriously by the general population too. She has been off all the allergens and is now doing really well, and we are continuing detoxing. Due to my experience, I do believe vaccines are not as great as we are told they are and that there is big money involved and we need to be cautious. Our pediatrician got fired due to not meeting her "quota", since she is not prescribing enough medication and doing enough vaccines, as she is a persons who questions their safety for our children. Of course we all need to be educated on this, and let's agree to disagree too. Go in peace, as even if we do not always believe in the same, we might also have a lot in common. One thing is for sure; vaccinating or not, we do what we believe is the best for our kids. Thank you for being a thinking mother.

There have been many studies linking vaccines to autism as well. Not saying it causes it, but the toxins in the shots at the levels they are given can promote it in children already linked to it in any way. It may be the same for other things, but regardless a double dose can't be good toxicitiy wise.

My 8 year old has autism that caused regression in speech and behavior noticed at around 13 months old, about 2-3 weeks after his 5 injections at once deal. Before that he was saying single words (up to 10 words), after that he didn't speak again until age 4 and a LOT of intervention and special education.

I'm not saying don't vaccinate. With the diseases out there, not vaccinating could theoretically harm a child long term. But read up, learn about the shots before hand and read some studies on what ages are better to give what. If I had known I definately would have held off on several shots for my son until he was older and more developed, and no way would I have given him 5 at once. Can't rely on the doctors to tell you either. They don't want you to realize they have been screwing up for years.

For me it all started with the Hep B at the hospital...prior to it my son was sleeping great and no problems with digestion... he was a strong child that flipped from back to front on the scale after being delivered... But that soon changed because he was taken to the nursery to get a Hep B shot!!! Hep B is a sexually transmitted disease, and needs a booster after 10 years... they are putting this in to a child who is 2 days old and has no immune system yet, and will not be likely to have sex in ten years!!! So why are they doing this to our children?!!! I wish I was informed... my child regressed immediately after the shot... prior to it he was sleeping all night, eating fine, no digestive problems, he had good muscle tone and flipped over from back to front with in minutes of being born, while being weighed on the scale!!! After the shot he was screaming in pain for 4 months non stop By the time we went home from hospital, he was horse), sleeping only an hour at a time... started to have digestive problems with breast milk or any protein what so ever given in bottles!!! Became Jaundice, and got very constipated with episodes of exploiting diarrhea (sorry about being so literal) and every time he had a new shot he would deteriorate more and more!!! I told the doctor and he said that he was fine and just a colicky child!!! He developed rashes, and some kind of skin patches like goose bumps that would never go away... and by 12 months after he got MMR and a flu shot at the same time, he went off the deep end and developed ear infections every 2 to 3 weeks... So I known that Hep B started it by affecting one of the most important organs in our bodies: THE LIVER!!! which regulates muscle, tendons, digestion, detox, produces glutathione, and metabolism...
All for the greed of Pharma owners... there is no other reason to be used on infants children or teens!!! That is just my 2 cents!!! Love, G.. :0)

I have long been concerned about vaccines. There is WAY too much money involved in us giving our children vaccines. If we were to stop or get educated about them, the rich medical companies would lose some money (BILLIONS).

I applaud you for looking into detox and natural remidies. Eastern medicine has been around A LOT longer than Western medicine.
I have a naturalist that does a foot soak and has proven to remove some toxins and is working with some autisim children (also linked to vaccines and covered up with that same money I mentioned).
Anyway, his name is Tomas Sanchez ###-###-####. The foot soak is 20 minutes (you can read to your child or something). Basically, you put your feet in water and it is ionized positively and negatively. It does not feel like anything $50.

Dear A.:
My son became autistic and severly injured by vaccines. He almost died twice after vaccination. He got an overload of mercury (thimerosal and other given names)and viruses (dangerous viral cocktails such as the MMR -live viruses).
You just have to read the vaccination "Bible" from dr. Tim O'Shea: The sanctity of human blood - vaccination is not immunizationa to know what vaccines are all about. If you have not read this book or other similar information (with truthful data - not government given) will know the whole truth about them.
I'm a dentist and acupunturist myself and know a bit about health related issues. All health problems begin when you violate the wholeness or sanctity of your blood.
Mercury is not the only toxin in vaccines. The viruses from animal tissues are also a major concern (such as the ones in the polio vaccine from the green (rhesus) monkey,
formaldehyde in vaccines cause cancer and leukemia, aluminum is also neurotoxic, etc.

answers from San Francisco on

Hi A. -

I do not vaccinate my children until they are going to kindergarten. One of the problems used to be thimerosal, but it is MUCH more than that. We take a new human, and inject him with several vaccines every two months in the first months of life. We know perfectly well that his immune system is not capable of handling these assaults - it is also true that a baby's body is more sensitive than an adults - more things are able to cross the blood brain barrier, very small amounts of substances affect babies hugely. It isn't just the preservative chemicals, it is the pathogens themselves. In former days, kids might come across a few of these germs in their entire childhoods, and yes, those illnesses were dangerous. Nowadays, even with the cleanliness that we have today, we deliberately expose our youngest and most sensitive children to most of the dangerous pathogens that we know. To me it is lunacy. Vaccinations may be a good disease preventative, but the burden of disease prevention should NOT be placed on the most defenseless members of society. It should be placed on healthy adults and older children.

My oldest son was fully vaccinated as a baby because that was what I was 'told' to do - he has had behavior problems ever since then - and we too have had him on a sugar/casein/gluten free diet, and also eliminated as many chemicals in everything we eat and use daily - and this has helped quite a bit - I give him fish oil, probiotics, and cognitive therapy - he can help himself much better now, but he is still prone to depression, anxiety, mood swings when his diet is not perfect.

My other 3 children were not vaccinated until at least age 5, and they show NONE of the behavior problems my oldest son did after being assaulted by so many vaccination as an infant. It still makes me sick that I allowed that to happen to him - and it makes me angry at a system so bent on perpetuating these problems on children in the name of 'helping' them. There is SO much data available that shows it does NOT help them - quite the opposite. To ignore this amount of data is criminal.

I guess this is a bit of a soapbox for me - good luck with your daughter-!

Hi A.,

I think you are on the right track with detoxifying your daughter's body. One other thought is to try acupuncture. I have a good friend that is one, and she deals so much with trying to clear up the harmful effects of vaccinations. That may be a good option for you, along with diet. I'd give you her name, but she has since moved to New York. My son who is 6 went to one for his allergies, and he did fine with it all. I was concerned how it would do with acupuncture, but was pleasantly suprised.

One other note, thimersol is not the only toxic thing in vaccinations. The aluminum is highly toxic and really affects the neurological system.

And one final point, I noticed a couple of the responses were so harsh. I would just say that each person needs to educate themselves on both sides of the issue, and make the decision about vaccinating their child that is right for their family.

answers from San Francisco on

I'm so glad that you're questioning this. I do not support vaccination as it does NOT equal Immunization. A child is not immune to an illness unless they have it or the NATURAL immunity is passed on during pregnancy. You're right, there is a great deal of controversy out there about these vaccines. The truth comes down to sheep mentality. The school will tell you that you have to vaccinate your child.. why?? BECAUSE THEY RECEIVE ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR EACH VACCINATED CHILD! Oh ... and so does your doctor! Now does it make sense why they pressure people? Money! Billions of dollars are made off these vaccines.
Also, NONE of them have ever had a longitudinal study done on them. The longest test was 25 DAYS! No test has ever been done on those that are given in a combo shot such as the MMR or the DPT.
Vaccines were all created when the illnesses were on their way out. And most are for illnesses we don't have in our country, not because we are vaccinating, but because we lack the right environment for breeding. Third world countries do, however, contain the right environment for the dieases to flourish. ASK your doctor when the last case of polio that he treated was. Or what about the last case of Hepatitis B in a newborn.
We are now seeing cases of these illnesses pop up and who is to blame? They say it's those who aren't vaccinating, but the viruses are just mutating and finding ways to overcome our vaccines or are returning because what we use as a vaccination is not what the illnesses is... such as Small Pox in which Jenner created it using the Cow Pox illness... they are NOT the same.
So much of vaccines is illogical. Back to the Hep B vaccine... have you ever wondered WHY they give this at birth when the people who get it are illegal drug users and those with multiple sexual partners? I know for certain my baby was not having multiple partners when I wasn't lookin... and he certainly didn't do drugs. And since when did Chicken Pox become Taboo.. I just turned 30 and when I was a child we threw chicken pox parties so we would all catch it and then become naturally immune! Measles, mumps and Pertussis can all be treated with antibiotics and once the child is over it he/she will never get it again! How beautiful is that? How simple?
Small pox is actually given as the COW Pox virus... they are NOTHING alike! So unless you are raising a little cow... don't bother.
HIV/AIDS was created through the mishandling of one of our vaccines. And now they want to create and HIV vaccine and put it on the mandated list for all 12 year olds. What that means is that we will have an overwhelming population of children infected with HIV. Sound good? I didn't think so.
Vaccines are wrapped in Mercury at a level 30x that which an adult should consume in a month.. all in one shot! The AMA and CDC has "suggested" that mercury no longer be used and so now it is called Thimersol.. don't be fooled It's STILL mercury under a different name. And California is supposed to have mercury free vaccines.... if you think that's really happening then you're delusional. The vaccine companies are not going to throw out billions of dollars of product. And they also are wrapped in formaldehyde, which is a KNOWN cancer causing substance. Ever wonder why we have an increased number of children developing cancer/leukemia?
Take a listen to the gardisil commercial the next time it's on. Listen closely to the wording at the end... it can't protect you from all strains... it MAY not provide protection at all. WHY WOULD WE DO THIS THEN??? Why risk it going awry in our children's bodies for no reason?
Here in San Diego there was a small outbreak of measles. Yes, it started by 3 children who were not vaccinated. They were treated with antibiotics and they are fine now. But WHY did between 12-15 children who came in contact with these 3 develop the measles if they were vaccinated and supposedly immune?
Why was the FLU vaccine said to be completely ineffective? The manufacturers admitted that they made it for the wrong strain.
You do NOT have to vaccinate to enroll your child. You can fill out the exemption form. There is a HUGE difference between MANDATING a list of vaccines and making something mandatory. The vaccines are only mandated.
Vaccines increase your child's susceptibility to ear infections, asthma, autism, apsperger's, allergies and other maladies.
I have a great book for you as well... The Sanctity of Human Blood: Vaccination is Not Immunization by Tim O'Shea. He also sites his sources so feel free to look them up. I did and I was completely dumbfounded as to how accurate he was.

There are two books I would recommend: What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Children's Vaccinations (by Stephanie Cave) and Unraveling the Mystery of Autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorder (by Karyn Seroussi). Even if your daughter isn't autistic, I would recommend that one because of all of the information it has about the effects of vaccines and foods/food allergies, and how the author reversed her son's autism by diet. I'd imagine it would work on non-autistic children, as well.

I truly believe vaccines can affect some kids in a negative way if they have an immune system that is compromised. The problem is we don't always know if our kids immune systems are compromised when they are being vaccinated. My daughter sailed through her immunizations, but my son did not. He was always feverish and out of it after his. When I would tell my MD she would say that was normal. He started having digestion problems and we thought he had celiac disease. After many tests and much frustration, I decided to change his diet. I put him on a whole food supplement of 17 different fruits and veggies that I had been taking. I saw first hand how it had helped my compromised immune system and figured if it had helped my immune system it would help his. I got this good micro nutrition into his system on a daily basis. I removed most of the dairy from his diet and low and behold his symptoms went away. I now know, without a doubt, that good nutriton plays a key role. My son is now 6 years old and extremly healthy! If I had known more about the role a vaccine's 6 years ago I would have still vaccinated my son I just would have had the spread out over a longer period. My life mission is to help educate other moms about what they can do to keep the ones they love healthy. Take a look at my web site www.StudiesOnJuicePlus.com and see for yourself the immune studies that have been done on this great product.
Good luck and please feel free and call me if you have any questions.

It is also appearing in the cancers of some small children, are we passing this cancer onto generations to come because of this one mistake.ASre vaccines causing cancer? Imagine the irreversible damages all of the horrible toxic ingredients in the vaccines such as mercury, aluminum, formalydehyde and many animal and human tissues that are in our vaccines currently available. Time will tell. I am so very sorry to hear that this happened to your child. I suggest going to a lawyer, you could prove this and make a huge mark on history!

I know, this stuff is really confusing.

It isn't something you can trace back in all cases. There is a lot of research being done on it and some treatments seem to work for some kids and not so well for others. There are some good books out there and I read a really great article in the New York Times last year which referenced some of the latest research.

my son was vaccinated through 12 months and after seeing jenny mcCarthy on Oprah, we stopped the vaccinations. Also.. one of the Dr. Sears sons has a new book out on vaccines that has a sort of nuetral view on the issue and he offers an alternative vaccination scehdule. there's a lot of info in the book if you haven't already checked it out.

prayers to you and your family!

Hi A.,

I don't have any personal experience with this however I am pregnant and researching what to do with my child once she's born. My friend who is a Chiropractor referred me to a web-site to do my own research http://www.thedoctorwithin.com/
This doctor has done some studies on the subject and I know my friend continues to go to his seminars when he's here in the Bay Area (California) if you are interested or maybe you can email some questions on the web-site. Just thought I'd pass the site on for you to hopefully get some answers? I am so sorry you are going through this. I want the best for my little girl and this subject really is a touchy one. I wish more people educated themselves instead of stating their "Pro-Vaccine" comments because their Dr or the media tells them they should follow "Their Rules".

Good Luck and I hope your little girl is healthy soon.

J. M

Everyone has different sensitivities. Some children are bothered by the smallest additive in their food. Others are not bothered by food but cannot stand loud sounds. We each must determine our individual child's needs and work with that. In most cases of behavioral problems, a multi-disciplinary plan is needed. Individual, group and family therapy are important, as well as social skills groups and behavior management. There can also be an in-home behavior management specialist and therapeutic mentors to help the child. Recreation therapy is often a critical piece of the plan. I also see a classical homeopathic physician.

The substance in vaccinations that has people concerned about vaccinating children is the preservative Thimerosal. In the 90’s a senator accused vaccines of causing his son’s autism and that’s how this all got in the media. In an effort to be proactive the FDA, CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics encouraged vaccine producers to eliminate Thimerosal in Children’s vaccines. As a result all children’s vaccines are now Thimerosal free or contain only trace amounts of Thimerosal. There’s never been any proof that vaccines cause the problems they’ve been accused of and recent research has actually shown Thimerosal to be very safe (only causes rare injection site reactions like swelling and redness).

I would like to encourage you to read over the links I have attached. The first one has a table showing exactly how much Thimerosal is in each children’s vaccine on the market and how long those vaccines have been Thimerosal free or trace (DTaP is the shorthand for Diphtheria Tetanus and Pertussis the shot it sounds like your daughter got the double dose of.) The second link is about vaccine safety. You’ll see that you don’t need to worry about “toxins” from these shots.

Another mother mentioned that your daughter may need to see a child psychologist about the playground accident. This sounds like a really good idea.

Take care and good luck,

A.

A., I don't have any personal experience with it but I do know that a lot of parents are choosing not to vaccinate their kids for fear of what it puts in their bodies. I don't think that's the best answer but the whole issue bears looking into. I'll be curious to see what people say on here...
