Go Green with Vaccines!

Since 1986 the number of vaccines the CDC recommends has gone from 10 to 36. But do we, as parents, HAVE to give our children all those vaccines?

New studies show that most children will naturally chelate toxins like mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde, ether, and antifreeze (?) out of their system within weeks (thus the fever and flu-like symptoms for a few days...the body working hard to get rid of the toxins?).

I chose not to give AJ the influenza vaccine, the rotavirus vaccine, he only had Tetanus (not the entire DTaP (because he was in Russia at the time), and I will not give him the Hib vaccine unless I have to (and I may because I know the risks of meningitis second hand). The other vaccines I did not have a choice on because he was already vaccinated when we adopted him (and he had to be according to US law and in order to enter the country as a citizen).

However, given AJ's medical history and inability to chelate out toxins I have to assess everything that goes into his system. But, why am I only assessing vaccines on an individual basis and not as a whole?

Hmmm...I suppose that is the question of the day.

Generation Rescue has taken out an entire page ad in the New York Times to educate the public on how we need to "Green Our Vaccines" and look at the Vaccine Debate as a whole, not as individual vaccines. "Given the dramatic rise of autism to epidemic levels, isn't it time for the scientific community to seriously consider the anecdotal evidence of so many parents?"

Hmmm, not necessarily sure about that but it could hold some truth...perhaps there is some evidence that could surface regarding the amount of vaccines we give out children, not just about the MMR.
