we dont want to give vaccs but.....

[Junglemum]

Here's me saying you can borrow it and i don't even know if it still exists!!! bahahahah. I thin kit was in my room, in which case it is around. If i stumble across it this weekend i'll let you know!

[Janie]

Glad you're laughing about it hun!!! I was a bit worried later on my post was a bit insensitive. No dramas, don't kill yourself trying to find it. If it does turn up though I'd love to have a read. I'd buy it, but I've just ordered three parenting-type books () so I think I'd better give the cc a rest.

Double post

[Michelle71]

Oooooo - what parenting books?? You know I would be interested

[Janie]

REALLY basic ones Michelle, I should already have them. Both of the Elizabeth Pantley sleep ones (baby and toddler) and Raising Boys.

Hi
I read something recently about the whooping cough vaccine also being linked to autism (not just the MMR).
If you google "Dr. Mary Megson DTP vaccine" you should find the research she has done on this. In particular she says it is the Pertussis (whooping cough) part of the DTP vaccine that causes problems.
On the subject of homeopathic immunisation - I recently immunised our whole family for whooping cough using homeopathy. The homeopath said it can be given from birth whereas the regular vaccine is given at 2 months.

My GP told me the other day that the whooping cough vaccine is only 70% effective and actually neds to be redone for older people as it wears off.
I had whooping cough 2 years ago even though I am vaccinated.

I am so glad I found this thread.

DD 8 months is not immunised. Recently we started going to a Homeopath and I hoped to get DD homeopathically immunised but she told me we were too late and we should just go with the Constitutional, whatever that means.

But, after arguing with DH YET AGAIN about the no immunisation situation, and with the Whooping Cough hoopla, I am contemplating getting the Whooping Cough only vaccine, if it is available.

I WILL be doing my research before giving though.

I just recently went through this where i was bullied by a GP to get Orson vaccinated. My only concern was the whooping cough. Well needless to say i got him jabbed and i feel absolutely rotten about it because its not what i wanted. I'm going to seek out the homeopathic option soon and im staying away from the GP!

[Pretty Butterfly]

Hon did you get the whole lot, or just the whooping cough one??

[Antheia]

Are you talking to me? If so, i got the full lot because they told me you couldn't get it seperate.

My IL's are going nuts after they watched stoopid channel 7. I really wish they would list PROPERLY the reasons why some choose NOT to vacc.....

As far as I know it wears off after about 10 years. So if vacced as a baby its usually worn off by adulthood.

Anyone that makes up their mind after watching some crap on Ch7 is hardly an authority on health

Do some reading on whooping cough, the mainstream vaccine isn't the best protection - outbreaks occur mostly in heavily vaccinated areas!

Hi Calebsmyum4eva and others

Maybe you should see a different homeopath. I am homeopathically immunising my three kids, ranging in age from 4 months to 8 years.We were told that this type of immunisation can be given effectively at any age, even if they have already had the standard immunisation. You can also get a homeopathic remedy to reverse the damage done by standard immunisations.Google 'homeopathy plus' for the immunisation kits.
On the whooping cough vaccine, this is the one that has been claimed to cause alot of damage to genetically suseptible kids, google 'Dr. Mary Megson pertussis vaccine' for more info.
Regards
L.B.

Yes, my research also has lead me most to be concerned with regard to the pertussis vax. Wishing you luck Kitten with your decision...

[LimeSlice]

Antheia - if you do decide to have Orson's other shots later on, keep in mind that you CAN get them separately. You need to hunt for a doctor that will do them, and you need to pay for them...they are trying to make it as difficult as possible.
But any GP that tells you that individual vaccines are not available is lying or ignorant.

[Heaven]

Alexis, can you tell me how I get them seperately? I want to get DD the pertussis vac but the Dr says the smallest one she can get is diptheria, tetnus, pertussis, and polio!! Is this true??
