WHAT?!! <BR/>That was Waaay before I was informed like I am now. I am about to give birth in the next couple of weeks. I DARE someone to touch my baby this time...I don't even want them taking my baby out of the room to wash him!!<BR/>We have to do certain vaccines bc we travel overseas (and will soon be living overseas) but it's all about Making An Informed Decision instead of blindly doing what a doctor tells us to do! <BR/>Awesome comments guys!!

As an RN, I feel like I am a hypocrite going into work. It's not just about vaccinations, but about all synthetic drugs massed produced and pushed onto people. I have to administer these drugs in my job, but I do not believe they are doing anyone any good (like vaccinations). SO while I feel I am doing more harm by administering these drugs, I do my utmost to "preach" about natural healing, herbs, and doing things the way God intended us to do. Not only do I preach to the patients, but also their families and co-workers. Now I have found myself in a predictament. We are highly encouraged by the hospital to get our flu shots (they are FEEE after all - please note the sarcasm!). But I will be refusing mine. The sad thing is most people I work with are shocked at my decision as they will view me as a carrier and probably the cause of any of our patients contracting the flu (I work on the respiratory floor). It is very sad that doctors and some nurses cannot understand that people with already compromised immune systems are more likely to die after getting a flu or pneumonia vaccine as they are if they got the disease in the first place. Vaccines temorarily suppress your immune system (for how long is still debateable), so if one is already ill with something else, then having one's immune system suppressed even for a short time can open the door for some serious problems to occur in the body. <BR/> So the entire problem for me is I will be out of a job by next year (which is fine as we only plan to have me work for one year). But just knowing I will be fired if I refuse my flu shot is completely unacceptable to me... by next year word is that flu shots will be mandatory for all hospital workers (at least here in Rochester). This year we have to sign a waiver if we refuse-which of course being the trouble maker that I am I will try to get away with not signing it! Anyway keep sticking to your beliefs and of course the most important thing for all to know is KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. We may live in a "free" country, but our rights our violated all the time. And if someone "talks" to you more than 2 times about vaccinations and you have made your point very clear, just threaten to sue for harrassment, because that is what it is...pure harrassment. <BR/> Gee I cannot wait to get my license to practice as a naturopathic doctor!!!!!Tracy Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07818322348164366661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18965615.post-74242708025747482012008-10-27T14:09:00.000-07:002008-10-27T14:09:00.000-07:00I see a common link here - studying the issue for ...I see a common link here - studying the issue for ourselves!<BR/><BR/>Kerri,<BR/>I posted Part 1 of my vaccination thoughts today.

I feel a lot how you did. I felt if I continued with my little one's vaccinations something bad was going to happen. I feel it to this day, that if I take him in, he is going to have a horrible side effect. I do have an awesome doctor who is all about natural healing and rarely suggests medicine for us. It's refreshing. I recomend him to all my friends.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18965615.post-89838291225648360222008-10-25T20:52:00.000-07:002008-10-25T20:52:00.000-07:00We no longer vaccinate here either :) Our family D...We no longer vaccinate here either :) <BR/><BR/>Our family DID get whooping cough from a vaccinated baby although atleast 3 of us had been fully vaccinated agst the disease.<BR/><BR/>I am so grateful for your honesty in posting here. Many people I know who reserach and make an enducated decision about not to vaccinate then lie and say that they did. Thank you for believing in your decision. <BR/><BR/>I am sorry about your Dr. experience. I am not surpirsed but very sorry. Vaccinations are such a distraction to some people and they get overly emotional and lose all ability to be rational. Your thoughts about your Dr. not telling you how to feed the child who WILL die if not fed vs. COULD die IF he got a disease and IF he couldnt fight it on his own, are so true and scary to me. <BR/><BR/>I also get freaked out about older folks getting flu shots :)Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15723750357398720115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18965615.post-79794570386974170512008-10-25T12:49:00.000-07:002008-10-25T12:49:00.000-07:00Kerri,I think our minds are somehow connected!

I cried last week becuase of all the old people going into the public health building for flu shots - the poor dears! <BR/>We are SO much alike! My first 2 kids were totally drugged, but number 4 has not had any since he was born...<BR/>And, there's another great argument for home birth!!! What 2-day old baby is sexually active to get hepatitis?!<BR/>Thanks for your post.<BR/>BethanyBethany W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05849311381535204559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18965615.post-33729289153697378912008-10-25T05:21:00.000-07:002008-10-25T05:21:00.000-07:00A church where the Bible is read...and not just ab...A church where the Bible is read...and not just about entertainment.

I'm an "old bird" and they didn't have vaccines when I was a child for things like chickenpox. I got the chickenpox, and - voila - lived! My immune system is probably stronger for having it and having natural antibodies to it now rather than chemical ones via a vaccine.<BR/>Thanks for your thought provoking posts - and love to all the little ones:)Henleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01530792055409978543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18965615.post-11138899142931504742008-10-24T20:34:00.000-07:002008-10-24T20:34:00.000-07:00Oh, I forgot to add that my MIL is a nurse and she...Oh, I forgot to add that my MIL is a nurse and she is the one who hassle us the MOST about vaccinations! She is relentless!! Had to go on for 20 minutes about why 9 yo should of had the tetnus shot....I told her to go do some research on it and that I would too...just so she would stop! <BR/>She also drives me crazy about wanting to give the little ones cough syrup and stuff if they come over her house and have the slightest of a cough....I think it is just when her cats are particularly sheddy (yeah that is probably not a word) and irritate them!Pam's Pridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020507914468986557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18965615.post-58436275207043422842008-10-24T20:29:00.000-07:002008-10-24T20:29:00.000-07:00No vaccines here either anymore. My older ones ha...No vaccines here either anymore. My older ones have some and DD has just the ones the hospital gives. I just could not do anymore after that. <BR/>My 9 yo got his hand caught in the chainsaw nearly two weeks ago and we had to go to the ER. The ER doc wanted him to get a tetnus shot. I said what for he is not around horses or horse manure? He nodded his head and replied "So you are refusing the tetnus shot?" Then he asked how we had them is school without vaccines....I said we homeschool. Never gave me a bad time. But, he did ask me just one more time to make sure that I was refusing the tetnus shot before he was done.<BR/><BR/>DD had croup last November and almost died. We took her to the ER....then when she got up to the Ped floor the doc asked us about it...I gave him a 'look' that said you are NOT going to change my mind and he did not give me a bad time at all either. <BR/>My children are so healthy...PRAISE GOD!!...that most of them have not even had to have well care visits...I mean who wants to take their kiddos in an office that is just crawling with sick kids! Eww!<BR/>We do treat with herbs and we have never hestitated to go to the ER (Only twice...chainsaw and croup) when it has been needed. But, had I known they were just going to super glue 9 yo hand back together I could have just done that at home myself!!
