Vaccination Article

Hundreds of families come to our office every year frightened, disillusioned, angry, and eager to explore and discover alternative ways to help their children, in hopes that they achieve higher functioning and more optimal well-being in their lives.

The diagnoses are most often the same – ASD – Autism Spectrum Disorder.

The most common question we hear: Is it possible that vaccines caused or contributed to the creation of our children’s neurological problems? The question is logical and correlative, in spite of the answer the parents receive from the conventional medical community; “it’s just a coincidence.” Yet, the parents see the regression right before their eyes, repeatedly. Each of their stories corresponds to a vaccine event…

As the number of children with autism spectrum disorder increases (now 1 in 150), and 1 in 6 children are reported to have some form of neurodevelopmental delay, boys more affected than girls at a 4:1 ratio, it is reasonable for parents and practitioners to consider larger questions: Genetic epidemics don’t exist, so what is contributing to the increasing rate of ASD in our society? What role do vaccinations play in selecting for these neurological problems? What, if any, are the underlying considerations that need to be studied, and by whom?

Is it possible that today’s generation conceiving babies is experiencing a weakening of their immune systems and passing this weakness down to their babies? How do their exposures to toxins from food, water, and air, antibiotics, medications, pesticides, plastics, flame retardants, cosmetics, heavy metals, electromagnetic radiation, sonograms, epidurals, C-sections, formula, AND vaccines play a role in impairing optimal function in their bodies, which is passed genetically on to their infants, who are then exposed to many of these same factors in utero and after birth, very early on in infancy?

Possibly all of the above – maybe none of the above, but the literature is beginning to fill with answers that support our suspicions and you, the public, are being prevented from seeing the results.

In our office we encourage parents to feed their children healthier diets. We support their digestive function and provide vitamins and minerals to compensate for their deficiencies. We make sure that the children are neurologically balanced and support their participation in behavioral therapies. We specifically ask the parents to stop or wean all medical interventions (drugs, antiobiotics, medications, vaccines) to give their children’s immune systems an opportunity to rest, rebuild and, over time, to adapt and compensate more optimally.

The children improve…and become more functionally balanced.

Do vaccines cause or contribute to the onset of neurological problems and autism?

Maybe it’s time for us to be more open minded and willing to explore all of the variables – it is our children and the generations to follow that will only suffer from our unwillingness to question and study…science, after all, is the study of asking questions and discovering answers, and accepting these answers, regardless of what our pre-conceived notions may have been about the study outcomes we expected or wanted.

We offer you a Greek proverb: Beware of those who think they know but know not that they know not!

These are the most dangerous!!!
