Your baby is protected by the antibodies
she inherited from you through your
blood supply. |

Anything that you have been exposed to
and developed antibodies against are
transferred to your baby. |

Ah, is it your duty to sacrifice your
child's health to the popular belief
that vaccines are the correct means to
protect against disease? |
|
12:11:56 |

Because I think all children suffer from
the ill effects of vaccination whether
they have drastic immediate reactions or
not. |

current symptoms in their bodies. |

About tetanus. This is your choice of
course. There is no tetanus vaccine
alone that does not contain mercury, so
that is a concern. |

The other option is to wait and use the
tetanus immune globulin at the ER for a

If a child does contract vpd, is it
very important to treat them naturally
or is it still important to seek
conventional treatment. I have heard
that leaving the fever to run its
course, and dosing with Vit C in large
doses are beneficial to healing. |

Vaccinations: The Controversies and
Dilemmas with Randall Neustaedter, OMD
Thursday, April 19th at 10 AM Pacific,
11 AM Mountain, 12 PM Central, and 1 PM
Eastern. Dr. Neustaedter will field all
questions on vaccines, challenging the
underlying theory of vaccination and the
advisability of the vaccine strategy,
providing parents the option of a truly
informed decision given the potential
toxicity and risks and benefits of
vaccines. Questions may involve specific
diseases and their vaccines and
alternative strategies. Dr. Neustaedter
will provide a holistic perspective on
disease prevention as he does in his
book The Vaccine Guide: Risks and
Benefits for Children and Adults. |

12:36:19 |

all vaccinations (here in the

Measles has been nearly eliminated as a
result of vaccination, but at what grave

I take to prevent any complications if
my child brings home chicken pox, just
follow standard immune building

Tetanus immune globulin works within 72

medicine have not been shown to prevent
tetanus in research studies. |

Please explain the difference between
live and not live vaccine and how my
babies exposure is affected- i.e. the
kid next door gets the vaccine, my child
is exposed- what is the likelyhood of
her getting that disease at any level
based on it being live or |

You do not have to worry about exposure
of your child to others. The only
vaccine shed in stools is the oral polio
which is not given in the US. Other
inactivated live vaccines are very
unlikely to spread the virus. And if
they do then your child might get
measles which would not be such a bad
thing anyway. |

I had read that it was good to keep my
child away for a week from those who
received a live vacine- but thought how
in the world am I to know who got what
vacine when? So you are saying it is
not an issue and my baby can be around
anyones's recently vacci |
