By now we’ve all debated (with ourselves, with our doctors, with our moms!) re: Vaccinations. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you need a shot of reality. Read more on pro vs. anti vaxers here.
Vaccines contain high dosages of ethyl mercury and Thiomersal, which act as preservatives.)
Much research over the last few decades has linked childhood vaccinations to ADD and Autism in kids who were prone genetically to those conditions. Statistics show Autism is on the rise in children since the 1990s and this coincides with the fact that more children have been vaccinated for Hepatitis B and Hib in the past decade.
Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, editor of NaturalNews reports:
President-elect Barack Obama made some comments during his pre-election campaigns that indicated he wanted to look into possible links between vaccines and autism. But these days, anyone who even questions the safety of vaccines is immediately labeled either a quack or scientifically illiterate by the conventional medical community, and Sense About Science is no exception: They believe vaccines are 100% safe and that the dramatic rise in autism that has closely tracked the rise in vaccinations is pure coincidence.

In my childhood, I once had a seizure as a result of a common vaccine given to children. That was enough for my mother to stop getting me vaccinated! As I grew up, I had Strep throat almost every year until my 20’s. Other than that, I’ve been healthy. Note that I have traveled to places such as Morocco, Guatemala, Mexico, Nepal, and India without ever getting vaccinated, and did just fine! (Of course, I brought along plenty of supplements, like Greens Plus powder to make green drinks and GSE.)
Unexplained allergies and asthma are also on the rise. According to the latest State of THE World Allergy Report 2008: Allergy and Chronic Respiratory Diseases, our zeal to reduce infectious disease has led to rapidly increasing allergic diseases that are becoming ever more complex.

Many anti-vaccine voices say that despite protestations of the medical establishment, vaccinations are not solely responsible for ending disease globally. The truth is that the demise of these diseases isn’t just because vaccines were invented, but is also due to improved living conditions around the world. As long as we have clean water, advanced sewage systems, proper nutrition, and fresh food, germs can not necessarily harm us if we are healthy. This sounds logical to me, but read the opposing viewpoint and decide for yourself.
When I traveled in impoverished places, I could afford to have clean water, fresh, nutritious food, etc. My way of preventing Malaria was to carry the pills (in case!) and to avoid places where Malaria outbreaks were reported.
A great article on how to legally avoid vaccinations from Dr.Mercola’s website.

My wife and I have a 20 month old son, Brady. We have heard about the side effects of vaccinations, and are leery of them.
A site that we have found to be very helpful and informative is in this area is GenerationRescue.org.
Thanks for sharing that link! I went to the site and found this link to this documentary I especially was interested in: http://www.autismyesterday.com/trailer.html
