Vaccination is an Emotional Issue

What is a parent to believe?

It’s a highly charged emotional issue… with parents, schools, and medical personnel sometimes challenging and confrontational. One thing has become increasingly clear. As the number of vaccinations continues to rise, vaccination rates are dropping as parents continue to opt out.

Informed ChoicesInformed Choices

Vaccination is not a chiropractic issue, it is a FREEDOM OF CHOICE issue.

Ultimately, you are responsible for your child’s health, not your doctor, not your child’s school, or your elected officials. So, you should be able to make an informed decision whether or not to vaccinate.

Edward Jenner was called the “Father of Vaccination”.

He discovered people who were infected with Cowpox did not get Smallpox

James Phipps was Jenner’s second Cowpox experiment.

Immune System DevelopmentImmune System DevelopmentChildren ARE NOT miniature adults.

Their nervous systems and immune systems are not near complete. Nerve tissue is the most delicate and sensitive substance in the universe.

The insulation around the nerves, myelin, in not yet formed at birth. When we bombard the nervous system with neurotoxins like aluminum and mercury, found in vaccines, we can prevent normal nerve formation.

There is no safe level of toxins in infants and children!

Are Children Healthier Today?Are Children Healthier Today?

• 1 in 6 children in the U.S. today has a neuro-developmental disorder. (ADD, ADHD, Autism)

• 13% of American children today are enrolled in a learning disability program. (15 million children)

• There are between 1 and 4 million autistic children in the U.S. today whereas in 1990 there were practically none.

• 8.9% of all U.S. children have asthma today. 1 out of 4 children uses inhalers.

• The number of children with allergies has doubled in the past 10 years.

• The rate of childhood cancer is increasing at an exponential rate to levels never seen before or imagined.

• Autoimmune diseases, diabetes, asthma, MS and brain tumors among young people are skyrocketing.

Fordham University

• “The thing is, just to get into Fordham you need to be vaccinated for mumps. So nobody knows if those kids got a bad vaccine or what,” Agostino said. “I just know I’m going straight to the health center if I see any symptoms.”

• Fordham noted that the widely available mumps vaccinations do not guarantee 100 percent immunity.

• “All of the students who were tentatively diagnosed with mumps had been vaccinated,” the university said in a statement. “Vaccinations do not offer 100 percent protection.”

• FDA (Approves vaccines)• CDC (Adds vaccines to

mandated schedules)• Public schools

The CDC MentalityResearchers at the CDC released a study recommending women withhold breastfeeding their children in order to boost the "effectiveness" of the rotavirus vaccine.

The paper claims the immune-boosting effects of breast milk are a detriment to the efficacy of three vaccines and that women should stop breastfeeding long enough for the vaccine to work on artificial/temporary “immunity”.

Toxic Chemicals in VaccinesToxic Chemicals in Vaccines

Some of the agents used to bind and preserve vaccines are:

• Ethyl Glycol (antifreeze)• Formaldehyde (preserves dead

bodies, carcinogenic)• Acetone (finger nail polish remover)• Aluminum Phosphate (linked to

cancer)• Mercury/Thimerosol (cancer causing

agent and neurotoxin)• Aluminum (neurotoxin)• Phenol (carbolic acid disinfectant)

Vaccines and Vaccines and Autoimmune DiseasesAutoimmune Diseases

“The steady escalation in the number of vaccines administered has been followed by an identical rise in the incidence of auto-immune diseases seen in children…”

Dr. James A. Howenstine, M.D., December 7, 2003, NewsWithViews.com

Common Autoimmune Diseases: Rheumatoid arthritis, subacute lupus erythematosus (lupus), leukemia, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, asthma, diabetes type 1, Guillian-Barre syndrome, and probably autism.

The Annual Flu VaccineThe Annual Flu Vaccine

“Influenza vaccination has been widely touted even though evidence of effectiveness is lacking. One large scientific review looked at 40 years' worth of influenza vaccine studies. It found that flu shots were ineffective for elderly persons living in the community, and flu shots were "non-significant against influenza" for elderly living in group homes.”

Nervous System & ImmunityNervous System & Immunity

Your Immune System has the ability to fight off every disease

known to man, including HIV/AIDS.

Your Immune System is controlled by your Nervous System.

With a optimally functioning Nervous System your Immune

System can operate at peak potential!

“Spinal cord and brain stem injuries occur often during the process of birth, but frequently escape diagnosis… brain stem and spinal cord injuries at birth are essentially attributable to excess longitudinal traction, especially when the force is combined with flexion and torsion during delivery.”

“The birth process; even under natural and controlled conditions, is potentially traumatic.”

"A whole group of young mothers who had been vaccinated against measles, and therefore had only temporary artificial immunity, were not able to give their babies the protection their unvaccinated mothers had given them." Barbara Loe Fisher, co-founder and president of the National Vaccine Information Center and co-author of “A Shot in the Dark”

Should I Vaccinate?Should I Vaccinate?

Study each vaccine• Is this vaccine for a life-threatening disease?(ex: Hepatitis B vaccine at birth, Gardasil for boys, Chickenpox?)

• Is this something I’d rather have my child exposed to and develop lifetime immunity?

• Does this vaccine work?• What are the side effects of this vaccine?• Make informed vaccination decisions.

Should I Vaccinate?Should I Vaccinate?

Never allow vaccine cocktails.

• Too much stress on the child’s body. High doses of Mercury (now replaced by aluminum) are toxic to the nervous system (ex: SIDS, Autism)

• If you must vaccinate, do only one vaccination at a time• “Vaccines containing high concentrations of neurotoxic

aluminum were added to the child immunization schedule when several vaccines containing mercury were removed. Two-month old babies now receive 1,225 mcg of aluminum from their vaccines -- 50 times higher than safety levels!”

• Aluminum in Vaccines -- a Neurological Gamble, by Neil Miller, director of the Thinktwice Global Vaccine Institute

Should I Vaccinate?Should I Vaccinate?

Know the questions to ask your doctor:• Is my child sick right now?• Has my child already had a bad reaction to a

vaccination?• Does my child have a history of

convulsive/neurological disorders, severe allergies, or immune system disorders?

• Do I know if my child is at high risk of reacting?• Do I have full information on the vaccine’s side

effects?• Do I know how to identify a vaccine reaction?• Do I know how to report a vaccine reaction?• What is the vaccine manufacturer’s name & lot

number?

Should I Vaccinate?Should I Vaccinate?

Know the ADVERSE REACTIONS of vaccines:• Persistent screaming, high pitched or

unusual cry.• Unresponsiveness: blank stare, if

child goes limp.• Fever with or without seizures or

convulsions.• Excessive drowsiness: difficult to

arouse, won’t eat/drink even if the child sleeps longer than usual.

• Vomiting, diarrhea, headache, nausea or dizziness.

Should I Vaccinate?Should I Vaccinate?

Report ALL ADVERSE REACTIONS• If any of these symptoms occur at any

time, you should contact your physician and should be reported to VAERS (The Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System).

www.vaers.hhs.gov

You Do Have A ChoiceYou Do Have A Choice

• Understand the risks of vaccination so you can make an informed choice:

Do the risks outweigh the benefits for your child?• Some states require vaccination before a child

can enter school; religious, medical and philosophical exemptions exist.

• Check with your state health agency to find out about the exemption laws in your area.

• Work with a pediatrician or medical doctor that supports an alternative vaccine schedule or will sign an exemption form.

Now You Know…Now You Know…

There are two sides to the vaccine controversy… and now you have a more information upon which to base a decision for yourself and for your family.

"There is a great deal of evidence to prove that immunization of children

does more harm than good.“ Dr. J. Anthony Morris, former Chief Vaccine Control Officer and research virologist, US FDA

A Final ThotA Final Thot

Human health does not come from a drug or a vaccine. A healthy baby needs no outside assistance, particularly having potentially dangerous pathogens and chemical toxins injected directly into their bloodstream.

Nature needs no help, just no interference.
