Hoi Jo, I think you have to consider some issues: Illnes has become a bad thing. We are afraid of it and we don't see the heatlthy thing in it anymore. The incidence of real complications in most of the childrens diseases is very small. We have to vaccinate a lot of children to prevent one complication. The healthy thing of children's diseases are that they give the children the chance to grow their resistance. When a child gets ill and can recover on its own power, without 'help' of medication like antibiotics, the immuunsystem grows and can handle more difficult things in the futur. You also see that children who have been ill have made a large jump in their motoric and cognitive development. To be ill stimulates not only the immuunsystem
When a child got's ill from a childrens disease it is mostly between 2-4 years old. It can have only one disease at a time. It seems that the body prevents to retract other diseases. We are vaccinating at 2 months with 7 diseases at once. I wonder that is the reason why the immuunsystem doesn't react properly and we have more than once cases of outbreak of for example measles in vaccinated groups. It is indeed ridiculous that mothers have to keep their not vaccinated children at home when there is a case of measles 'to protect the vaccinated children'. It proves one does not believe in their own vaccinations. Most vaccinations have to be repeated on regulary times (measles every 9 years) that's easy in children up to 18 and what happens with the adults? When a mother had her childrens diseases worked through in her childhood, the antibodys ar high enough to protect her babys with breastmilk during their vulnarable babytime. A vaccinated mother does not have enough antibodys to pass it through in her milk. So the most vulnerable little children are not protected anymore. That's one of the reasons the vaccinations are earlier now at 2 months instead of three. I tried for the birthcentre to invite people of the childrens consultation from the governement to come and give information about vaccination for our parents. I also invited a GP from the oganisation 'vaccination damage' to give the information he has. We never found someone from the consultation ready to answer questions or to explain their view. When mothers ask questions about vaccination they get answers as 'you won't let you child to be sick and die, won't you ?' No real information, but working on guiltfeelings. It is almost the same as with hospital and homebirth. It seems we are childrens murderers by not playing the 'normal' game. Than there is the matter with the additives. It is not only the viruses that are given, but they are surroundd by additives who are proven to be very harmfull for humans. For example, a compleet vacinated child has already received a lot of times more the amount of mercury than an adult should have. It also goes for aluminium. That are heavy metals and very polluting for a human body. When you see at the pediatric wards, despite of the vaccinations thare are no less sick children. But the children now are very difficult to treat with the allergic reactions, astma, ADHD, autisme.... I prefer a child that is ill for a fourthnight and can go on with his life. Maybe you have in Australia also an organisation like our 'vaccine damage' where you can get information about alternatives or more appropriate ways to handle vaccination than to go for the massa vaccination. Vaccination shoud be considred for each child individual, considering the possible healthproblems for that child and the pro and contra of that vaccin. I hope to have been of some help Lieve Lieve Huybrechts vroedvrouw 0477/740853 -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens JoFromOz Verzonden: dinsdag 26 juli 2005 15:28 Aan: [email protected] Onderwerp: [ozmidwifery] Vaccination Hi All. I don't want this to start a war or anything, but I would just like to hear people's opinions (and why) on vaccinating babies. This is the week for our first vaccinations (I declined Birth HepB) as William is 2 months old tomorrow. We do want to get him vaccinated, it's just a matter of when we start, and whether we get them all done together. Here is why I'm hesitant: He is only 2 months old, and not going to be going into any childcare in the near future (at LEAST 12 months if ever). It isn't normal for a body to have to produce antibodies to 7 diseases all at once - or is it? I was thinking that it would be better to get only one injection at a time so that if he reacts to something really badly, we will know which vaccine to avoid next time. The diseases such as Hep B and tetanus, and Diptheria, etc aren't all that likely to find my son just yet - or are they? However... Should I just do it and not make a fuss? Just follow the government's schedule? He is in contact with 3 adults who work in schools - would that be a reason to vaccinate sooner rather than later? We have looked at pros and cons, and still can't come up with a concrete decision. Any opinions/info would be appreciated! Thanks, Jo :) -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
