Re: immunization

Just to give you some info from someone on the other side of the immunization
fence. I have four children. My oldest two are fully immunized. When I went
to take my third child in for her first shots, I got a very strong feeling
telling me not to give her the pertussis vaccine. I went with my gut feeling
about this and she has received no pertussis vaccine. I also chose not to
immunize my fourth child against pertussis. I just have too many bad feelings
about this particular immunization. Until it is improved, I cannot in good
conscience let my children receive it. I have talked to my homeopath about
this and he says that pertussis is the most dangerous in little babies (my
girls are now 6yrs. and 4yrs.). I am aware of the symptoms and if I saw any
of them in my children, I would seek medical attention right away. My 6 yr.
old was exposed to it when she was in nursery school by a child who had been
immunized! If anyone wants more information about pros and cons of
immunizations, there are several good books available on the subject.
