One of my tangents

This was a response I wrote to a friend of mine who questions vaccines but she is a pediatric nurse and gets a lot of backlash from her colleagues. It sums up what Alan and I believe and why we don't vaccinate. Go back to the basics regarding health: Does health start or come from “above down inside out” or does it come from an external source? i.e. Did God give our bodies enough intelligence to know how to work or did he mess up and we need to intervene with something external like medicine or vaccines for everything? Fever for instance...What is our normal body temperature? 98.6. So if we run outside and we sweat, why do we sweat? To keep our temp at 98.6. If it’s zero degrees and we are standing outside and we start shivering why do we do that? To keep our body temp at 98.6. So if we have a fever or our child has one and the body temperature raises to kill the virus or bacteria, are we or our child sick or healthy when this happens? Mainstream says sick but if our temperature didn’t raise what could potentially happen? So we are actually well when we have a fever. If we run and grab tylenol are we interfering with the intelligence of our body? That is for you to decide but that is why we view fever as a good thing. Do I like to see K with a fever? Not at all but I trust in God’s design that her body is working the way he intended it to and I do my best to nurture her but not interfere. So back to health, with or without vaccines, it comes down to survival of the fittest and the body’s ability to adapt to stresses whether that is the common cold, measles, whooping cough, etc. We approach it from the standpoint that health comes from within therefore we are going to do our best to keep her immune system as strong as we can because there is always an unknown of what she will face in life. There will always be something to “fear” so to speak. There are always going to be crazy superbugs and viruses and whatnot that kill people. So is the answer to concoct a vaccine for everything that arises? If the answer is yes, which is what so many believe, fast forward 20 years and look at the recommended schedule. If kids today receive 49 doses by 5 yo what will it be then? How much sicker will these kids be than we already see today? I’m going off of a tangent but I think it comes down to how you view health before vaccines come into question if that makes sense. For us...first and foremost we get adjusted regularly because decreased nerve function=decreased health. Working in the profession you do, have you ever thought how much the sick kids you see could benefit with getting an adjustment? Even if the meds are necessary, why not get their nervous systems functioning better? In my heart, I believe that vaccines are damaging kids today. I don’t believe they are the answer. I see it in my practice. I also see parents who don’t have a clue what their kids even get when they get vaccinated and it pisses me off for the kids sake. Regardless of what you choose, imo we owe it to our kids to know what we are giving them. People spend more time looking at food labels and car seat safety than they ever do questioning what is in a vaccine. End of rant:)
