We currently don't vaccinate, though we have in the past and we may do again in the future.

Initially we did a delayed/partial schedule. We skipped birth Hep B and rotavirus vaccines as our children were not at risk of these (no Hep B in the family and fully breastfed, not in child care). We skipped chicken pox as we felt the vaccine was fairly unreliable and the illness itself not highly risky in our healthy children. So our reasons for not vaccinating were because we felt that not everything on the schedule was needed for every child.

Since our eldest son has been diagnosed with autism we have done further research and decided not to vaccinate either of our children. We are recovering our son from autism using the Gut and Psychology Syndrome protocol and Dr Campbell-McBride's theory is that autistic children have such poor gut flora that they do not detox sufficiently and are suffering from toxic overload. Vaccines add to the toxic overload and are not safe for children with poor gut health. Perhaps a couple of years down the track if we feel our children have healthy guts and can detox the toxins in vaccines then we may consider partial vaccination again for some illnesses.
