I have two children they are 1 and 3 years old. During my entire 2nd pregnancy and up until months after my youngest was born I was HEAVILY researching vaccines. Mostly because of pressure from my family and my childrens doctor I kept vaccinating against my better judgement until my 1 year old 6 month vax when I decided I couldnt hold him down and allow them to inject what I KNOW is poisons into him becaue if soemthing where to happen as a result it WOULD be my fault because of the amount of research I have done and because of my own reservations. Therefore I have quit vaccinating them both. It was actually way easier then I thought, just gave daycare and exeption form and that was that. Occasionally I get a feeling of guilt resulting from herd mentality that to protect my children they MUST be vaccinated. I firgure if I find some natural supplements and or vitamins that I feel good about that may ease the nagging guilt. Would anyone have any good suggestions, keeping my childrens very young age in mind? THANK YOU!
Suggestion for natural supplements/vitamins for my unvaccinated kids

While pregnant with my first child, I researched whether or not to vaccinate. In the end, I chose to vaccinate. Knowing what I know now, I never would have done it.
My kids were born in the late '80s when there wasn't a lot of data in the public about the ingredients or the the side affects. I didn't know about the mercury preservatives or the links to autism. Now, even as an adult, I avoid traveling to any country that insists on vaccinationing me for entry.
I'm not sure what you're wanting for supplements. I suppose any natural children's multivitamin will do.
Stay away from the grocery store vitamins http://www.naturalnews.com/040872_flinstones_vitamins_multivitamins_synthetic_additives.html
Beyond that, eat as natural a diet as possible. Grow your own food; avoid GMO seeds https://www.facebook.com/notes/saving-us-all/a-list-of-gmo-and-non-gmo-seed-companies/334086699976625

Hope this helps.
A good friend of mine says her child developed autism very shortly after a vaccine and she has no doubt the vaccine caused the autism. She deeply regrets not knowing about the link beforehand. And I understand it is a hard decision to make. Here's a great link for exploring more:

was never vaccinated. We had to sign papers his first few years in school so they wouldn't vaccinate him. If I remember correctly,the only reason we could state for opting out was "religous beliefs". He was breast fed by his vegan mom, and is vegetarian, and has hardly had a sick day in his life. He caught a nasty stomch flu two years in a row that was putting most of the local kids in the hospital, but I just brought him home and had him drink a 12 ounce glass of colloidal silver both times, and he burned the fever in an hour,and was fine the next day. He gets colds now(the last couple of years) but I suspect that is from his diet changing a little. He eats a few more things that aren't so good for him now, like pizza,pasta,etc. The interesting thing about him is that he won't eat cooked vegetables,,,he only eats them raw, except for seasonal corn on the cob, and sometimes broccoli.
Oh,,,he did have a tetanus shot early on, as it was recommended in our area, even by those against vaccinations,,and he definitely played in the dirt a lot......L....T

if i may when i read your words, i feel i can look beyond them to where they are coming from... there is pressure to get vaccinated, there is a notation that that has been pushed at us as a people that vaccines are what protects us(even thou no study has ever been done "conducted" by the system ever), (a herd thought that people that don't vaccinate their kids are terrible and letting them get sick... doctors and other so called health professionals that push and pressuring them) and as a parent you want to protect your kids against these fears... and then there are the facts and truths that this all seems to be a set up as a shame, that kids that get vaccinate often have weaker immune systems... allergies, autism, even death has resulted, these people that we are told we need so are kids can be healthy there qualification let's look at it--> pushed into a schooling system that is own by the very companies that make vaccines "they right the books and created the curriculum" possible conflict of interest alarms going off, also when we do happen to study the evidence most vaccination show no signs of effectiveness of protecting them for what its suppose to protect them from... you seem to have looked into it but can't put the mind at ease the fear to rest. It's truly a disturbing predicament that they will force fear about thou you love so you'll get them poisoned. So now your looking for a substitute of protection to this fear placed in you, the only substitute to vaccination is poison as far as i know, however health, great mother earth is a bounty of healthy, eating good, drinking good, fresh, not also poisoned by another industry "agriculture" pesticides and fertilizers... there is a quote on health i find it the most accurate ever---> there are 2 causes of disease 1. Not getting enough of what's good for you 2. Getting to much of what's bad for you. and that's it so health is just getting the good and keeping away the bad... also mother earths pharmacy can be very powerful indeed, a tale of immune collapse that happened to a family member "was vaccinated did not help any" she was getting very very ill (gaining weight having seizures and blackouts) , and they were clueless did not surprise me, it's lime, no its mycofriga... back n forth trying this medicine and that... nothing worked, i got her medicinal mushroom extracts and tea "all organically harvested" gave them to her said make this tea and put ten drops of extract a day, very soon after she was back to her old self healthy not a single reoccurrence like nothing happen , doctors did nothing she and i are convinced that the products i gave her are why she recovered... the only thing of value "for me" that the standard medical industry makes (beyond physical trauma, surgeries, hospitals, acute needs) is antibiotics and once again i find that to be a farce for mother earth is what created them first "penicillin is originally derived from green mold" and now they treat nature cure and solutions like voodoo maybe there threatened that if we were actually well informed on natural medicine they would be out of a job... cured another family members ear infection with garlic "first he went to the doctors over 2 weeks going back and forth no antibiotic worked, crushed garlic oil/juice into a paper wick and put in ear (immediate relief) showed him how top keep doing it and told him he should eat some whole raw garlic cloves "not the most pleasant prospect but he did both while going off the ineffective antibiotics in 3 days gone... the only advise i can give is to empower your knowledge its out there if you seek it, and then make the best informed choose you can, much peace n love, get sun burn most effective medicine Aloe Vera leaf in its normal form there is nothing better, sprain a muscle, twist an ankle Comfrey poultice there's nothing better, why i know these things i get a problem then i look for the solution and then pick the option that seems best to me so far has not failed me... Ultimate solution for me my own permaculture food and medicinal garden /forest.
Vaccines and the brain - Encephalitis
Real Health Talk
Sun, 01 Jan 2012 14:21 CST
"The medical system conveniently ducks responsibility in the waiver signed by the parent which exonerates the administrator of the vaccine from liability of injury to the child."
Myelination is a developmental process by which the brain insulates neuro-pathways with a fatty substance called myelin. This insulation will keep neuro-chemical synapses from leaking into other pathways causing developmental challenges and cortical spillage. Myellination begins in the lower levels of the brain, as in the brain stem, and then moves upward to the areas of the brain such as the prefrontal lobe and cortex. This insulating process spreads through the nervous system in predictable developmental stages. This myellination process will continue past the teenage years and into the early twenties before completion.
The last areas to myelinate are the prefrontal portions of the cerebrum. This starts to happen in the teenage years. The prefrontal areas of the cerebrum have a profound influence on human behavior. Specific areas have been identified and labeled to include areas that influence behaviors such as tact and critical decision making areas. Injuries in the tact area can bring vocalized rudeness and inappropriate behaviors in public in the affected individual. Likewise, injuries in the critical decision making area can produce a lifetime of consequences in bad choice results.
How do vaccines cause encephalitis?
Vaccines contain adjuvants: (substances that enhance the immune response to an antigen), such as mercury and aluminum compounds. Vaccines also contain biological organisms and foreign proteins (many of these proteins and organisms come from other species of animals in which the vaccines are grown). If an individual, and especially an infant or young child, is injected with vaccines, unprotected nerves are impacted and aberrations of neurological development occur which in turn influences subsequent behavior and learning patterns. Some of these developmental aberrations include the medical diagnosis from autism to ADD/ADHD to Tourette's Syndrome and others.
It was in 1947 that Isaac Karlin suggested that stuttering was caused by "delay in the myelinization of the cortical areas in the brain concerned with speech." In 1988, research by Dietrich and others using MRI imaging of the brains of infants and children from four days old to 36 months of age have found that those that were developmentally delayed had immature and disrupted patterns of myelination.
Propitiously, it has been found that impairment of these developmental processes in myellination also alters neural communications without necessarily causing severe neural damage and while not presenting a medically diagnosed problem. These facts have been adequately proven by science, but ignored and suppressed by mainstream medical establishment.
Vaccines cause neuro-allergenic reactionsIn 1922, the smallpox vaccination program caused an outbreak of encephalitis, with a secondary result of Guillain-Barre Syndrome (an ascending paralysis ending in death). Consequentially, a search began in the 1920's for some organism that might cause the problem of encephalitis. The fact that the vaccinations were directly connected to thee outbreak was hidden from the public until 1942.
In 1953 it was realized that some of the epidemic children's diseases, measles in particular, were demonstrating an increased propensity to attack the central nervous system. The consensus of the experts led the public to believe that childhood diseases were the culprits and that the medical community was doing the right thing in waging war against the killers. Undisclosed to the public were the facts behind a growing allergic reaction to the vaccinations for the diseases.
Then came along a "childhood" disease called polio, or poliomyelitis (a condition I have personally experienced) which involves a breakdown of the myelin sheath. Polio injuries of de-myellination occur along with damage done to the anterior horn motor neurons in the spinal cord which cause paralysis. In 1956 the polio vaccine was first introduced to the United States. This same vaccine (that was highly touted as a miracle vaccine) was not introduced into Europe until 1958. If the vaccine campaign was a success, the two year difference in the time of introduction should have left an appreciable difference in the occurrence of polio between Europe and America. It left no difference in the decline of polio between the two continents! However, there was an appreciable difference in the rise of certain unexplained neurological injuries in the two years difference. This anomaly was caused by a condition involving an allergic reaction in encephalitis.
The role of the allergic reaction in encephalitis was first revealed in 1935, with the discovery by the researcher Thomas Rivers of the phenomenon known as "experimental allergic encephalomyelitis". Until this discovery, it was generally assumed that encephalitis was caused by viral or bacterial infection of the nervous system. In his experiments, Thomas Rivers was able to consistently produce brain inflammation in laboratory monkeys by injecting them with extracts of sterile rabbit brain and spinal cord material (adjuvants used in vaccines). This experiment made it quite apparent that encephalitis is an allergic reaction. No consistent form of encephalitis was ever produced with bacteria.
In 1978, British researcher Roger Bannister observed that the de-myelination diseases were getting even more serious "because of some abnormal process of sensitization of the nervous system". (Remember that encephalitis, whether caused through disease or as a result of vaccination, can cause de-myelination of the nerves.) This discovery of increased "sensitivity" has in actuality been a normal progression in view of the cumulative introduction of adjuvants into the human body with vaccines. By 1978 this should have been obvious with the research conclusions. Vaccination programs have exacerbated this "sensitization" of the population to allergenic encephalitis since the introduction of vaccines. It is a matter of record that vaccinations have produced encephalitis since 1922!
Who is responsible for vaccine induced encephalitis?
At this point it is reasonable to conclude an association between post-encephalitic syndrome and either de-myelination or an incomplete myelination of the brain caused by vaccine adjuvants. Unfortunately, the responsibility for a vaccine injured child lies at the feet of the parents and not the medical system. If the parent had full disclosure of the risks of vaccines, and assumed all of the rightful responsibility to the life and well-being of the child, the only sane conclusion will be one of very careful deliberation and self-research before the jab is made. The academic authorities back vaccines wholesale and with impunity even in the face of tantamount evidence against the success of vaccine programs! The medical system conveniently ducks responsibility in the waiver signed by the parent which exonerates the administrator of the vaccine from liability of injury to the child.
This first link is an article from LiveStrong regarding supplements useful prior to a child being immunized, but the recommendations also support healthy immune response as well.
http://www.livestrong.com/article/284264-supplements-to-build-immunity-for-infant-vaccinations/
Rosemay Gladstar has a book of herbal remedies for children and I'm sure there are others. One supplement I've used for my grandson during flu season is EpiCor Jr it's derived from yeast and is an immune system modulator. At last order, it was about $4 on sale from Swanson vitamins.
We make elderberry syrup, echinacea, melissa and other tinctures, drink herbal tea (kids love peppermint or licorice root with a little honey) and strong Thyme tea makes a wonderful cough syrup when mixed with honey as well. (don't use honey on children not yet 1 year old).
We eat a primarily plant based diet, with a little meat from time to time, we make our own juice and use herbs or homeopathic remedies first before a trip to the doctor and often don't need to make one thereafter.
Good healthy homemade food is the best remedy we have, just don't buy into all the 'natural' products that aren't 'natural' at all. If you can get your very young children to begin healthy eating habits now it will be alot easier to maintain later. It can be difficult with all the media and peer influences they'll encounter as they grow up. Wishing you happy healthy children. Enjoy them they grow up in the blink of an eye.
Hi Stacey,
As far as warding off colds and flu, I take a tablespoon of cod liver oil every day for the Vit. D and also some Vit. C every day. Since I've been doing this, I've been sick way less than everyone at work around me. They make a cod liver oil that is mixed with orange oil that doesn't taste bad at all. You probably could hide the cod liver oil in all kinds of foods - just be sure to put in on after the foods have mostly cooled.
People get sick during the winter because of lack of vit. D so it's a great alternative to flu shots. I hope to God they aren't saying little kids should get flu shots these days, besides the other vacines.
I think my son in on the autistic spectrum due to vacinnes, flouride and the fact that I had a mouthful of mercury when I was pregnant with him.
You are lucky to have awakened to the vacines problems your kids have been fully vacinated !

Fred -
Thanks for the link, I actually checked it out a long time ago (even before the course), it is GREAT. Helped me alot while I was struggling with my decision! I know a girl with 3 children who now works at a funeral home. Her first child was fully vaccinated and is serverly autistic. Her second child began showing autistic traits and lucky she began to wake up to the horrors of vaccines and discontinued his vaccinations. He is slightly autistic but now has almost "grown out" of it. Her 3 child was never vaccinated and is perfectly healthy. Since she has been working in the funeral home for 8 years she has seen one definate death from vaccines, and 2 that the parents believed where caused by vaccines. The definate one was a 3 month old who had had an alergic reaction. Sad.
Tscout -
Thank you for your story, it helps me ease my mind! : )

There is most certainly TONS of pressure to get my kids vaxed. People look at me like I am a monster who is condeming my children to loads of horrible diseases (like chicken pox?). I am told the only way to protect them is to vaccinate. Some of my friends anfd family think I am crazy and risking my childrens life. If fact my sister actually CALLED CPS and told them I am crazy and "thinks the government is poisoning my children so I dont vaccinate and now they are always walking around sick with eyes are swelled shot." My kids are RARELY sick, and YES dillion had pink eye, I dont think vax even claim to prevent PINK EYE! Even if they where sick all the time (they're NOT) vaccines do not claim to keep a child from getting sick to is to prevent SPECIFIC diseases. Oh CPS basically told her to F*** off btw, of course, they had to! It was ridiculous.

It is interesting you yourself have suffered from polio and still against vaccines. I only say that because polio is the MAIN arguement used against me by those attempting to convince me to vaccinate. My moms boyfriend said his brother had polio and was dieing and the vaccine saved his life. A elderly nurse at my sons doctor was telling me stories of terrible disease and how she got to witness the miracle of vaccines wiping it out. Was polio already on the decline BEFORE the vax? The two year diffference is EXTEREMLY intersting, I had never heard that!! One of the things that convinced me not to vaccinate anymore was learning about "Vaccine Court" and the billions of HUSH MONEY awarded. In my oldest son, I did not have a clue that vax could be dangerous at all, so I had them done. I never noticed anything abnormal. Niether his father or I have ADHD, (but I do have bipolar and I have heard that linked to early vax injury as well). When Dillion was born I was knee deep in research and already VERY skeptical but still allowed them to vax, honestly likely due to family pressure then anything. His father DOES have ADHD and I had read that children develope those kinds of diseases from there bodies not being able to matabolize the vax. That scared me because what is his dads body could handle it and that is why he has his issues, that may mean Dillion's wont either. At first I wondered if Dillion was developing on track, he seemed alot further behind then where his brother was at corresponding ages. After we skipped the 6mnth vaccines, it seemed like he began progressing at a much faster rate, and quit going cross eyed. I have not vaxed either kid since.
Now Dillion is 1 and honestly I would not say he is EXETREMLY advanced for his age, but everyone else, like the daycare workers do. Dillion is easily the most active, advanced, and hope this isnt taken wrong, smartest baby in the class. However, I question is it really that Dillion is exetremly advance (well of course he is he is my child lol lol no seriously though) or if the other children are ALL severly delayed? When Eric was in THE SAME CLASS the other babies where all doing WAY MORE then the babies in the SAME class now that Dillion is in it. I have always been around my fair share of babies, and sadly it seems to me the babies of RIGHT NOW, like 1 or 2 and under, seem way behind the babies of past generations. So I looked it up and sure enough in the 2 year difference between Eric and Dillion the CDC reccommended vax intacts increased!! Big surprise??
One Song-
Thanks for the link! As well as the great suggestions and warm wishes!
Wendy -
YES, they are, in fact mothers are VERY pressured to get there babies flu shots!!! A friend of mine who DOES vaccinate has heard me go on enough tangents that she had refused the flu shot for her ONE YEAR OLD. Her Dr. made her feel terrible to the point she walked out and switched doctors. Plus they practically shove it down pregnant womens throat. I was asked EVERYTIME I went in for my checkups if I was sure I didnt want a flu shot! I am not sure the validity of this but I read somewhere that since the CDC began reccomending flu shots for pregnant women the infant death mortality rate has raised over 100%. Also it is terrible you son had to suffer more then most from the aweful things they are doing to us! You have my blessing and support, especially you passed self, I know it must have been challenging to face!
Everyone-
Read what I wrote under my responce to lightwins about the current baby populations development, has anyone else noticed this or had similar concerns? The kids that are one righ tnow are mostly not talking at all. Dillion does, ALOT, but still not like Eric did, and the kids in his daycare class are so far behind him its unreal. Even all my little nieces and nephews just do not seem on the same track as their older brothers and sisters did. Anyone else??
Also, I used to have LONG chats with my kids Dr. on multiple occasions about vaccines. She told me the story of a group in Washington the had not vaccinated there kids and now polio was rampid through the community. It is not that I do not believe that, but I am very suspious as to WHY. When you take into account that quacker and amish groups do not have autism and adhd like we do. The medical communities excuse for that is "herd immunity". Well then why did herd immunity not save the folks in Washington? Where they intensionally given polio to scared people back into compliance??? Just a thought.
Homeopathic Remedies I have found work best for Pink Eye. These remedies are found at almost any healthful store.
Good Greetings, I am known as Fairy Farm Girl. I used to post here a lot. Not so much anymore. I have some hard earned wisdom to share with you. I bless you with Love.
It is best to say nothing to others about your choice and motivation for that choice. The less said to those who are different from you the better.
Interview Pediatricians until you find one that is respectful of your informed choices. As to vitamins: your children are very young. Do you breastfeed or use formula? TThe best vitamins and nutrients come from food. Less is more with vitamin supplements for children under the age of 3. The use of iron should be avoided.

I'd like to point out a few facts.
The oral polio vaccine contains "live" polio virus. For years, concerned parents have been asking for a "dead" polio vaccine to no avail. This is the vaccine that I was most afraid of giving my children. One of my daughters spit out part of the first dose, so the nurse gave her another full dose. Although I haven't noticed any harmful affects in my children from being vaccinated, I do sometimes wonder if vaccinations may have played a role in their apathy towards world events. (Not a fact, just a suspicion.)
As a side note, the only vaccinations I received as a child was for measles at the age of 6 and rubella at the age of 10. I consider myself to be more "awake" than most people. (Again, I'm making a connection based upon conjecture, not fact.)
The lower IQ in children could be due to a number of factors, including a processed, chemically-laden diet which is grown on depleted soils dowsed with chemical herbicides and pesticides.
Also EMFs from electronic devices like computer and cellphones disrupt the brain's electromagnetic field. These days, anyone who is within a cellphone tower signal is awash with EMFs. That's pretty much everyone on the planet.
Albert Einstein didn't speak until the age of four, so delayed development isn't necessarily a true indicator of intelligence. (Fact.)
My point earlier was that,,,he got everything he needed from his mom while breastfeeding..she was healthy, and he built a good strong immune system as a result. He grew up in and around gardens, so learned to find and pick things growing beneath the surface,,,and some wild things as well....
And yes,,,he was considered 2 to 3 years ahead in kindergarden, and they made a special class for him and two other kids. He could read in kindergarden,and loved math as well, and still excels there...
A little vacine victory - One person can make a difference!
The drug store across from where I work had a person out front standing there just so that they could ask customers if they would like to get a free flu shot. I was a little offended but I didn't want to say anything to the poor young girl stuck with that job as I was sure it wasn't her decision to do that. The drug store had a feedback spot at their website so I used it. I was sure to make them understand that it wasn't the person doing the asking that offended me, just that I consider the question the same as asking someone "Would you like some free poison?" They stopped having the person out front after that.
I have never had polio
thought id just list a few things i do to boost the body,
Nice organic fruitcup, eating more herbs, im big into mushrooms "organic", Reshi is an amazing all around tonic, i have used tea's(natural selection fav) and extracts (mycommunity fav) from a source that i trust--> http://www.fungi.com/
iv looked most deeply into mushroom medicinal properties and the reseach into them, and often was just amazed, i sure feel great after a nice tea with a few extract drops...
then i do think the other side of health is spiratual, mental... whatever one wishs to call it, problems steming from a speration of self, from backing off from ones desire, purpose, joy... stress of the inner being, most definitely effects health on the other hand joy, love, laughter -->heals.
to be in ones element, soon i will be living in mine, for me being in nature "the forest" has always nurtured my soul
