He has had all of his vaccinations spaced out per our requests. Hmm, it makes you think though. Could that have played a role? I try not to get too deep into that as I would rather have a child on the autism spectrum; who is high functioning as my son is, than a child with a deadly disease. Are vaccines safe? They are said to be. Vaccines have helped so many. What is in them really, who knows? But, I would gladly give my son gluten and a vaccine instead of denying him gluten and exposing him to possible deadly diseases that he can ultimately die from.I get it, We all want to keep our kids healthy but if you are giving your child organic foods but not having them vaccinated, what good are your organic foods if a deadly outbreak hits the area and they are infected? Measles does not discriminate. I can understand not giving your child the flu shot, maybe but polio and these other diseases such as small pox, come on are much bigger disasters.
So what if my son "got autism" from vaccines when he was younger? I do not know. What I do know that his body is safe and has a defense against something deadly and he is not a threat around other children but children that are not vaccinated can be threats to babies and other immune compromised individuals.
Thinking about it, my son said about 6 words before the age of 2. After he got some vaccines, his words disappeared. I never put a lot of thought into it. Could it be related who knows? I do not know. It could be, right? Now, now that I think of it, it could be but what good is it going to do for me now? Nothing. We are moving forward not backwards. He talks, thank God. He was delayed but he got it and that is what counts. He has made awesome strides as well. Once thought to be in the middle of the spectrum, is now high functioning with symptoms that are dormant. The vaccines that he had helped him more than they harmed him if that is the case. Was I a skeptic, maybe but my son is happy, healthy, and a blessing. He can see, hear, walk, and talk. It is all good.
He eats all organic food. He has never eaten from a can. He takes children vitamins and Omega 3 fish oil which have such a positive effect on him. All of it, combined. Instead of being overly anxious about the harm vaccines are doing, parents need to look at the ingredients in the food that they are giving to their children. These ingredients that are in a lot of these processed foods have so many harmful side effects, far more than the effects of supposedly getting autism from a vaccine. The hormones that are in milk and chicken are outrageous, yet some give that to children on a constant basis but yet would not give their child a measles vaccine. It just does not add up to me.
I am not bashing anyone. I am stating some relevant information that can be eye opening to many. For example, we had our son vaccinated and choose not to give him cereals that are loaded with artificial colors and sugar and a lot of garbage that we can not pronounce because that has such a negative effect on his system as with all children. Some will give that to their children but disregard the need for a vaccination against a deadly disease. News flash, that stuff, that junk, that artificial processed junk that is labeled food is doing greater harm. So much so that we can not even believe. But we all must open our eyes. You can choose not to vaccinate but if you are giving your child GMO foods and cow's milk, you are putting them at an even higher risk of whatever it is that you are scared of in the first place.
To vax or not to vax - check the facts. But if you are opting not to give your child vaccinations because you do not want them to get autism. you are doing a great disservice. Like I have stated in the beginning, I do not know where my son's autism came from, there can be many speculations. I believe food could have played a very BIG part. Could it have been the vaccines, maybe, maybe not, who knows? What I do know is how great organic and non GMO natural unprocessed foods have positively affected him and his diagnosis of autism. Will he get his next vaccination. Most likely, yes. We have to keep our children safe. A child with autism can lead a healthy, long fulfilling life while a child with ,measles or polio does not stand a chance. Therefore, my son will sit.
Thank you.
Well, it's already been proven again and again that autism is not caused by vaccinations. So there's that. I do agree with you though that even if that were the case, my children would still get vaccinated.
ReplyDeleteI only know of one study linking the two- where black children are three times more likely to develop autism if vaccinated before the age of three. Have you seen this article though? http://www.modernalternativemama.com/2015/04/09/no-we-dont-owe-society-protection-by-vaccinating Here's the part that really matters- "If I’ve reviewed my child’s health history, read endless studies about vaccines, and have come to the conclusion that this medical procedure is not in my child’s best interests, then you have no right to tell me that I have to do it anyway — to protect your child. That’s asking me to sacrifice mine for yours, and I won’t."
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen that article but I would take a look at it.
ReplyDeleteAll children need to be protected in every sense of the word. No child is above another. As parents. We need to put aside what we believe to be true compared to what is known and / or proven to be true in order give our children a healthy and beneficial future. As a parent, if you choose to not vaccinate your child, you are not sacrificing yours for mine but rather you are sacrificing the quality of life of your child. I would in no way ask anyone to sacrifice their child at all but it is common knowledge that a mother's job and priority is to protect her young from the seen and unseen potential hazards and harms even if that may be an unvaccinated child.
Thank you for your reply.
Peace and love.
Nice article. I enjoyed reading your take. I took a different tack with my son, though. He got sterile cysts in his legs from his first round of vaccines. I will never give him more, because I am afraid his next reaction might be worse. The rest of our family still gets vaccinated, but I will not subject him to something I know is bad for him in particular. I would rather risk the remote maybe of measles that doesn't do much harm to healthy people, than the known damage of the vaccines.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry that happened to your son. I can understand you. I hope he is well and stays healthy. Thank you for sharing. I appreciate your reply. Good luck. I value your comment.
ReplyDeleteI think it's natural as Moms to try and find a reason. I used to work with Autistic children while I was finishing my Master's. I saw children who's parents fed them processed and fast food 100% of the time, I saw children who's parents fed them ideally (like you), everything. If it was easy to pinpoint the origin researchers (I hope) would have done so already. I would suggest (if you are looking for suggestions), to not search for something you did wrong, but to focus on all the things you do right, and have done right. It sounds like you're a great Mom.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeanette. Great response. I appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your comment. If you'd like to post videos and propaganda, next time ask in advance. Comments are appreciated, suggestions even. To bombard someone's comment section with more than 1 video plus advertisements is not a good idea.
