Jenny McCarthy's new book

[casey's mom]

Anyone reconsidering the typical vaccination schedule? I am after reading Louder than words by Jenny McCarthy whose son has Autism. Her speculation is the vaccines over loaded her sons system when his immune system was low and contributed to his autism diagnosis. Thoughts? I'm considering holding off on the MMR shot until 3 years of age

[girliegrl1723]

my son is 8 months and has already had all his shots as scheduled. please refresh my memory as to when the MMR shots are to be given and when they reccomennd spacing them out more. am i too late or can i still do this for him in the coming years?

Quite frankly people like Jenny McCarthy are looking for answers in the wrong places!  There is absolutely NO scientific evidence that vaccines cause Autism, yet parents seem desperate to blame "something" for their child's illness.

All I can say is - give me a society free of polio, measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus, diptheria, pertussis, Hep A & Hep B and I'll be happy!!

I too didnt allow them to give my lil girl her shots...I was 43 when I had her and she was my 5th child.  I had felt very fortunate to have a healthy baby and was doing everything natural.  Iam going to restart her shots now. she is now 4.

The scientific evidence is that countries that don't inflict brain damage on their children (i.e. 'vaccines') do not have an 'autism epidemic'.  Secondly, there is no 'scientific evidence' that the vaccines don't cause autism--- in fact, there are absolutely no long term studies on the devastation caused by this barbaric ritual.  Lastly, your "society free of polio, measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus, diptheria, pertussis, etc" was well on it's way when the sewage stopped flowing in the streets and the public water supplies were no longer contaminated-- long before the public poisioning campaign began.  

If your so eager to poison innocent children, are you current on your "shots"--- scientific studies do show that after 36 months there are no traces of increased immunoglobulins regarding any of these shots--- meaning that a "booster" must be necessary throughout life????  Medical Non-Sense!

The article you posted is really interesting.  I've seen a couple of things myself lately that make me wonder.

The other thing is a video about vaccines  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MTifzl8BOI  

Down the side it says

This stunning censored interview conducted by medical historian Edward Shorter for WGBH public television (Boston) and Blackwell Science was cut from The Health Century due to its huge liability--the admission that Merck drug company vaccines have traditionally been injecting cancer viruses (SV40 and others) in people worldwide.

This segment of In Lies We Trust: The CIA, Hollywood & Bioterrorism, produced and freely contributed by consumer protector and public health expert, Dr. Leonard Horowitz, features the world's leading vaccine expert, Dr. Maurice Hilleman, who explains why Merck's vaccines have spread AIDS, leukemia, and other horrific plagues worldwide.


Lots to think about!

I started questioning the vaccines before my daughter was born, and after reading about what is in these shots, and how they work (in some cases, do not work), we have decided to not have ANY vaccinations for our children, ever. There is most definately a real problem, not just parents looking for someone to blame. There is no way you can put a large amount of Mercury, along with other toxins and chemicals, into a small child's body, and not expect problems.

The HepB shot that they give on the first day of birth also contains thimerasol, and these babies are not at high risk. It us usually transmitted through intravenous drug use, and sexual contact, and can even wear off within 7 years. So not many babies would be at risk for this disease. And the symptoms of the vaccines can end up being much much worse (even fatal) in comparison to the illness itself.

Here is a link with a list of the ingredients for the vaccines they put in our children:

http://www.informedchoice.info/cocktail.html

I would really study alot before you decide to have any (more) vaccinations for your child. And if you do delay it, I would reccomend delaying as long as possible!

[casey's mom]

My question was not to vaccinate or not. I am planning on vaccinating my kids. My question was do you think the vaccination schedule should be reconsidered??? Jenny McCarthy is pro-vaccination too. She's questioning the "one size fits all" schedule...as am I. Should preemie babies who are often ill be given the same vaccination schedule as a healthy 10lb baby???? I don't think so ...

Also, the CDC released a statement last week stating they could not disprove the contribution vaccines have in Austism. They simply "don't know".  Until they know I'm going to ask questions and proceed with caution. One thing I know for sure is kids aren't born with it ..... this is something they develop.

Well I typed a very long entry for you and pressed "Post Comment".  This great website then took me to a log in page and then all of it was lost.  Great design medhelp!  Bottom line, travel down the rabbit hole and you will question conventional beliefs on this to the edge.  Spend many hours researching this.  The best start is an audio CD of the Vaccine Seminar given by someone who travels the world spreading the word.  Here is the link...http://thedoctorwithin.com/index_fr.php?page=order_books.php

If you refrain from vaccination you will be debating people for years and you will want to have some good info to back you up.  Make your decision now, which pill do you want to take?

[JuneSunflower]

I decided before I ever got pregnant that my children would not be vacinated, ever...  There is no reason to and every reason to not vacinate., it makes no sense  My daughter is now 2 years old and perfectly healthy. If you do research, most of the children that get pertussis now, actually had the vaccine, so what good did that vaccine do for those children, probably caused them to get it.  Needless to say, I'm glad people are becoming more aware of vacine dangers and educating themselves more, so they can make an inormed decision.

[Kini71]

I think you are wise to consider an alternative schedule for vaccinating.  Thank you for clarifying that Jenny McCarthy stated she was for vaccinating and that ALSO (this to Sandy M) she states that vaccines are not the sole cause for autism.  There are many things to consider, and perhaps one of them is the overload of vaccines at one time.  Maybe spacing them out a little, or delaying isn't a bad idea.  If I was to do the MMR for a boy (or girl for that matter) I would wait until after they are 3 or so.  Let their immune systems build up and also their gastrointestinal tract get up to speed (so to speak) so that things can be detoxified better.

[Kini71]

MMR is at 12 month and 18 or 24 ish month.  But the first round is at 12 months.  I am delaying this for my son based on the odds of autism for boys.  

[casey's mom]

thanks for everyones points of view. I guess it's something we each have to decide for ourselves. Good luck finding out which is best for you and your family. God bless.

Did anyone happen to catch Jenny McCarthy and actress Holly Robinson on Larry King Live last night ?

[PlateletGal]

I strongly disagree with you. Like Jenny McCarthy said last night, "physicians need to listen to us". She knows when her son became ill and she has been searching for the truth and has been doing tons of research on autism. And she said that she could have kept her son's illness a secret and it would have made things easier on her... but she chose not to because she knows that there are many parent's out there that don't have the resources that she has had on this illness. They even had her son's physician on the show last night.

btw, her son's physician did an excellent job. Her son is doing great.

[PlateletGal]

P.S. --- I forgot to mention to check out an illness called Gillian Barre Syndrome. The cause of the illness is still unkown... although physicians know that patients often get this illness after having a flu shot and/or having the flu. This illness, like autism, affects your nervous system and you can die from this syndrome.

this article was on yahoo news yesterday
please make note who conducted the study
can you say show me the money

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070926/ap_on_he_me/vaccine_safety

also Jenny M. is not against shots...but she was  on Oprah and I quote "Should they be one size fits all"

[tomel]

There are alot of parents of autistic kids who have before and after pics and video of their kids...Jenny M. had pics and video of a smiling happy baby...then later on a child that wouldnt smile..had outraging fits...seizures...etc
also alot of the kids have huge amounts of yeast in their gut...once the they are put on a strict diet the parent sees huge gain in lang. and social skills....how do you explain that???

If it is so cut and dry why is the CDC still conducting studies on it...and WHY did they remove the thimersal??? Also thimersal is not the only funky stuff in shots.

good article  Discover magazine April 2007  

[laura1977]

I do not like the MMR shot.  My first daughter broke out with about what seemed like 1000 spots all over her body after getting her first one when she was little.  My brother had a bad allergic reaction to his.  My second child will not be getting the second dose of MMR when she starts kindergarten.

[tomel]

How did you come across that link?

[ItalianMama3]

Question do you actually think that the people running those tests would say "yes" or "no" there is a link? They absolutely would never say to the American people..... YES we have been poising you and many of your children for years. Yeah right! Can you imagine the lawsuits, the anger, and the backlash of millions of people? It would look like terrorists all over again.

No one on the planet can say 100% of children’s immune systems can tolerate them. But you the parent have a choice to give them to your kids or not. Ultimately you’re the one who lives with your child dying from a possible disease or the injection you gave them that was supposed to save them but killed them or disabled them. Which is worse?

My 3 children don't fit the mold....2 of my kids have had months of seizures after immunizations. My dr. will not admit they have any link. But I the mother know! When I had my 3rd child, and I would not vaccinate and my dr. and I went to war over it.

I told her; she can sign the release form not me!....why do I have to sign a release?.....I said to her tell me without a doubt that 100% of kids can tolerate the vaccines.....if that is true, you sign the release to take the responsibility of it, not me.

She never questioned my choice again. She knew the anguish we went through with the first two kids. My son I will say had his reaction from the DTaP and he had seizures for 3 months after and then started a what the Dr. called "A Fever Of Unknown Origin".... that lasted 6 months. Every week I'd go to the dr. office praying for an ear-ache something and never was there anything. For 6 Months this 15 month old little boy suffered. It wasn't from nothing either.

My third is the healthiest of all of them, and she is the unvaccinated one.

[PlateletGal]

I just read an article about the possible link between autism and pollution. I haven't heard of that one before ! It will be interesting to see if there is anymore research done on this ?

[tomel]

Did anyone see her on Larry King and Oprah? Thank god someone is finally coming out and talking about this...she said to Larry King "Next you will see me in front of Congress".
The thing that is great is she is talking about stuff that alot of moms including me have known for yrs. that is the biomedical treatment used in getting kids with ASD,ADHD, PDDnos etc. better.

Both shows that she was on the CDC made an actual statement...which is rare and shows they are gona start taking this stuff more serious

Jenny on Larry King said that in 1983 the vaccine schedule was 10 now its 36

[PlateletGal]

I watched Jenny and Holly Robinson on Larry King. I'm glad that Jenny has chosen to be pro-active and speaking out.

[tomel]

Im reading a really good book called...What you Doctor doesnt tell you about Vaccinations...wow some interesting stuff
I talked to a doctor where I live and he recommended it to me...he suggested using the vaccine schedule she suggests in the book...i plan on this w/ my newborn
