Pregnancy Info HOME

My son died last week from vaccines. I am on a mission to put an end to this madness. You will not know my pain, and I hope you all never do. I laughed and dismissed information regarding the dangers and here I am, preparing a funeral. Wake up people. Please

Diane, I am SO sorry. That is terrible. My coworker's granddaughter died within an hour after receiving her DTaP shot and she is just crushed too - so much suffering. How old was he? Again, I am so sorry. God be with you.

Your son just died and your online readng forums? It doesn't seem believeable to me. Espescially if you haven't even had his funarel yet. ???

I read the same things you folks did. I'm not arguing that vaccines are the be all and end all to human health. It's the best thing we have right now. I've kept repeating, the info is out there and it's up to each individual to do their own research and make our own decisions. If you want to believe everything you read on the net, I'll start a website dedicated to the health benefits of eating cat feces. I'm sure there are plenty of people who would belive it and I'll make a fortune. Meanwhile, go back to your re-runs of the X-Files and keep your walking health hazards away from my baby. I'm done trying to be rational in this wasteland of irrationality. Good luck.

that was a rude post vanaseregwen. no one belittled YOU.

NewsWithViews.com December 2, 2005 POLIO "NON-OUTBREAK" AMONG THE AMISH Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, DO On October 14, the major media outlets shrieked a report of "the first outbreak of polio in the United States in 26 years," occurring in an Amish community in central Minnesota. The specter of hundreds of children in braces and iron lung machines lining the halls of hospitals immediately danced through the air, and directly into the minds of parents who have chosen to not vaccinate their children. More than a month later, phone calls and emails from concerned parents continue to pour in. The fears surrounding this "outbreak" need to be put to rest. First of all, there wasn't an "outbreak of polio." There was only the discovery of an inactivated polio virus in the stool of four children. The first confirmation was in a 7-month old Amish infant, presumably hospitalized, with severe immune deficiency. The "find" prompted screening of other children in the community; four children were confirmed positive. None experienced any type of paralysis. Part of the panic can be blamed on inaccurate reporting. The virus that was identified was not "wild polio." It was a virus that is found only in the oral polio vaccine (OPV). Oral vaccine-strain viruses are inactivated with formaldehyde and are generally considered by the CDC "too weak" to cause disease. Even though the OPV is still used extensively in Third World countries, it has not been used in the United States since 2000. How did children in an isolated Amish community, with no exposure to foreigners, become exposed to vaccine-strain polio virus? That remains a mystery. The unasked question is why was finding this strain front-page news? My suspicion is that it was because it was an Amish child; a large number of the Amish choose to not vaccinate their children. A confirmation would serve a dual purpose: to make an "example" of the Amish and scare parents into believing polio still being "in circulation," when in fact, it is not. A review of polio is important to alleviating the fears about the disease. Keep in mind that the last case of "wild type" polio virus in U.S was in 1979; the last case the Western Hemisphere was in the Peru, in 1991. Polioviruses are transient inhabitants of the gastrointestinal tract. Up to 95% of all polio infections are completely asymptomatic. Approximately 5% of polio infections consist of a minor, nonspecific illness consisting of an upper respiratory tract infection (sore throat and fever) and gastrointestinal disturbances (nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea). This influenza-like illness, clinically indistinguishable from the myriad of other viral illnesses, is characterized by complete recovery in less than a week with resultant life time immunity. Less than 1% of all polio infections result in paralysis. Most importantly, the vast majority of individuals who contract paralytic poliomyelitis recover with complete-or near complete-return of muscle function. Any weakness that is still present 12 months after onset of paralysis is usually considered permanent.[1] The take home message from the "Amish outbreak" is this: 1. Polio is not a synonym for paralysis. 2. The presence of vaccine-strain polio identified in the stool of 4 asymptomatic children is not a "polio outbreak." 3. There have been no wild polio viruses identified in the Western hemisphere since 1991. 4. The WHO certified the Western hemisphere "polio free" in 1994.

I had no idea vaccinations were so controversial! This thread makes me wonder, where did Polio go? Did God or some higher power just decide to make it go away?

I found blood streaks in my 3 month old baby and wanted to know if any mom has experience this and any recommendations. The baby's pediatrician is not concerned since she looks healthy and gainning weight but I went back to see him since it has been going on for weeks and he still not concern but will refer me to a gastrointestinal specialist. My baby has been b___stfed since she was born. Look forward to your answer.
