here are my facts...

in my first official vaccine related post, i'm just gonna list some facts from my own, personal life.  that's it.  no buffering and no adding in any quotes from others.  i'm simply going to tell you what happened to my child.  i've spent hours documenting the changes.

months before baby was born: started researching vaccines because i wanted to be an informed parent.  questioned more than i wanted to and decided i was worrying too much.

day of my daughter's birth: after wanting a natural delivery, i was pushed into having a c-section because i was basically taking too long.  i didn't know at the time that this was going on.  obviously they scared me.  and my blood pressure had changed drastically, so i was in a sticky situation after 28 hours of labor.  i was terrified and let them deliver her by c-section.  i still wonder if i could have had her naturally.  after birth, my daughter was given vitamin k and a hep b shot before i even had a say so in it.  this bothered me right away.

weeks following:  i made the decision that at her 2 month check up, i would request that she be put on an alternate shot schedule because of all of the toxins in the vaccines.  i was told by her pediatrician that it wouldn't be a problem.  almost immediately after her 2 month shots (they were split up by 2 weeks.  she got 2 shots at one visit and 2 at the next) i started noticing changes in her breathing.  this is also when she got her first ear infection.

between 2 and 4 months: she was in the doctor's office constantly for ear infections and although i was breastfeeding her and doing my best for her, little did i know the toxins i was pumping into her body were hurting her.  i also started to notice changes in her breathing.  she would make these loud, high-pitched noises sometimes out of nowhere.  sometimes it happened in her sleep and it scared me to death.  it's like she was gasping for air.  i slept with her right next to me every single night out of fear.

4 month appointment:  again, i expressed my fears about vaccines with the pediatrician.  i told him i wanted to stay on a delayed schedule.  he actually looked me in the face and said, "if you're going to postpone any, these are the ones to postpone.  they give so many in such a short span (that span being 2 to 6 months) and i feel that this would be the best if you're concerned."  well, that was all the answer i needed.  i did 2 shots at 4 months and 2 at 5 months.  ~Here's the kicker, and this really should have ended it for me... at 5 months, when i took my daughter back for her second round of delayed shots, the nurse left the room to draw up the shots and i realized she said the wrong shots as she walked out of the room.  she said she was going to draw up the ones she had already gotten 3 weeks prior.  so i rush into the hallway to grab her and tell her that we already had those and for her to please only give her the remaining two.  she proceeded to argue with me about what shots my daughter had been given.  i pulled out my own personal records from my purse and had to practically shove them in her face for her to see!  she had the nerve to look at me and say, "well honey, it's really confusing for us when y'all break the shots up like this..."  and i replied, "it's not that hard to write down what shots are given at each appointment!  this is my daughter's life we're talking about here"!  then i started to wonder, how many mothers blindly go into the pediatrician's office with their children and have this happen to them, daily... and they probably don't even know!  and how many of these instances or costly mistakes result in the loss of a precious child's life?!?

*started noticing major health differences after this.  she started to develop a severe case of eczema all over her body.  her breathing issues seemed to worsen daily and more ear infections developed.  YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!  i'm breastfeeding this baby.  giving her all of myself so she can be healthy.  she's getting all of my protection and she's still so sick?  so... i started hitting the research hard.  and guess what i found?  the thing the medical field calls SIDS or crib death, happens most commonly in babies between the ages of 3 and 5 months... coincidence?  nope.  of course it is constantly denied by people in the medical field that vaccines are related to crib death, but i have read numerous heart-wrenching stories of parents who have had otherwise healthy babies, took them in for a well visit with shots and the baby was dead within 24 hours after serious lethargy, crying and screaming.  and in countries were vaccines aren't routinely practiced the word crib death or SIDS doesn't even exist.  think about that for a minute.  i also started seeing studies of vaccines linked to eczema, ear infections and asthma.  all of which my daughter was experiencing.

6 month appointment: against my will i had her vaccinated.  still on an alternate schedule, but after the final shot, i made a vow to never go back there.  it's like it took that long for me, but once the feeling hit me, i knew what i was doing was right.  had a long talk with my husband and knew we would never step foot in there again.  i regretted getting them immediately.  something in my body felt sick.  i had all this knowledge and i was just lining up like a good little citizen and getting my daughter injected with POISON.  she continued to have a few health problems and i'm convinced it was due to the effects of the shots.  but after a couple of months wouldn't you know, everything cleared up!  and i mean everything.  eczema was gone.  breathing problems were over.  and this was after exhausting trips to the ENT.  she did not have one single ear infection after that appointment and i noticed a change in the look in her eyes.  i knew i had done the right thing!

since then:  i have kept my daughter out of the peds offices.  i believe they are just as fueled by big pharma as general practitioners.  my daughter has not been sick.  she has had a minor cold or two that she's caught from other kids, but i'm ok with exposing her to illnesses the NATURAL way.  we have also turned to more homeopathic remedies when dealing with sickness and have switched over to a holistic chiropractor for her heath care.  i believe less trips to the doc makes for a happy and healthy kid.  when she needs to be adjusted, the chiropractor does it.  you wouldn't believe the difference chiropractic makes in a child's life.  everything stems from the spine and the spine is influential in our overall health. 

and i digress...enough babbling about chiropractics... that's a whole other post.


Anyway, i just want you to ask yourself these questions:

when you take your child in for shots, do you know exactly what he/she is getting injected into them?

have you read the package inserts for the shots?  the docs have them and should willingly give them to you.

do you know what each shot is supposedly protecting your child against?

have you read all of the side effects associated with each vaccine?

do you know to contact VAERS (vaccine adverse event reporting system) if your child experiences any of those severe side effects?

***and some food for thought... read these questions i'm asking and get your wheels turning.  do some research of your own.  and i DON'T mean research from the CDC website!  i mean look at research from all over.  look into docs speaking out on vaccines.  or better yet, before you do any other research DO go to the CDC's website and read exactly what's in each shot you give your child... (ex: aborted fetal cells)  i think i'll pass!  thanks!

do you know that most of the diseases these shots "protect" us from aren't life threatening and it's better for our bodies if we develop natural immunities to the diseases?

do you know that most of the diseases we're "fighting" with vaccines were already declining dramatically before vaccinations were ever introduced? 

did you know that as good hygiene and proper sanitation became more common these diseases started to decrease quickly?

If these questions prompt any interest for you, then please go and research it for yourselves.  I promise that what you learn will be eye-opening.  The first few days I began my research on vaccines, I didn't sleep at night.  I wanted to know more and more and more... and so I searched and searched for answers.  I got them and did not like what I saw...
