april = autism awareness
2008-04-07, 10:30 a.m.

April is Autism Awareness month. Please spread the word.

I would like to contribute by discussing the vaccine schedule.

Like most moms I am extremely concerned about the AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS 2007 RECOMMENDED VACCINE SCHEDULE which is as follows:
___________________________________________

Birth - Hep B

1 month - Hep B

2 months - HIB, PC, DTaP,Rotavirus,Polio

4 months - HIB,Pc,DTaP,Rotavirus,Polio

6 months - HIB,Pc,DTaP,Rotavirus,Hep B,Flu

1 year - MMR,Chickenpox,Hep A

15 month - HIB,Pc

18 months - DTaP,Polio,Hep A,Flu

2 years - Flu

3 years - Flu

4 years - Flu

5 years - DTaP,Polio,MMR,Flu,Chickenpox

12 years - Tdap,Meningococcal,HPV(3 doses girls only)

________________________________________________

I don't know about you, but I find this alarming. The amount of vaccines our children are required to receive has more than TRIPLED since 1983. Why? Because our children need to be protected or because the Vaccine companies are in bed with our government officials? Maybe they're even fucking the American Pediatric Association for all we know! (Excuse my language but I have been outraged by this for so long).

Regardless of the fact that I found an Alternative Vaccine schedule, as published in THE VACCINE BOOK, by Dr. Robert Sears, I still worry about how much and how many toxins are going in to my son's system each time he receives another vaccine. And being that the risk of Autism is higher in boys than in girls, I get a sick feeling in my gut each time my son receives another shot.

Here is an ALTERNATE VACCINE SCHEDULE according to Robert Sears:
__________________________________________________
2 months - DTaP,Rotavirus

3 months - Pc,HIB

4 months - DTaP,Rotavirus

5 months - Pc,HIB

6 months - DTaP,Rotavirus

7 months - Pc,HIB

9 months - Polio,Flu (The Flu vaccine would be given between six and twelve months, if nearing flu season)

12 months - Mumps, Polio

15 months - Pc,HIB

18 months - DTaP,Chickenpox

21 months - Flu

2 years - Rubella,Polio

2 1/2 yrs - Hep B, Hep A

3 years - Hep B, Measles, Flu

3 1/2 yrs - Hep B, Hep A

4 years - DTaP,Polio,Flu

5 years - Chickenpox

12 years - Tdap,HPV

12 1/2 yrs..HPV

13 years - HPV,Meningococcal

______________________________________________________

To understand Sears' reasoning behind this schedule, as well as a very detailed explaination of exactly what ingredients go into each vaccine, you may want to consider purchasing the book. Note that Sears recommends the MMR be broken out...in other words instead of receive The Mumps, Measles and Rubella shot as one shot (chock full of toxins), he recommends receiving them individually over a larger span of time. As the MMR vaccine seems to be the most controversial - the one everyone is pointing a finger at, I feel better knowing I'm going to be breaking it out.

In closing I will leave you with this video feed about Autism featuring Alex Jones and Jenny McCarthy's recent appearance on CNN, and a prayer that this epidemic will one day find its cause and solution. And for all of you moms and dads out there who are struggling with this on a daily basis, know that those of us who are blessed with healthy children have not forgotten you.

Please protect your children...get informed!

Love Rose

It really is worrisome that there is such an increase in the diagnosis of autism. I question whether it's an increased awareness or an increased in the actual illness. We have a neighbor who refuses shots because her oldest son is autistic.

It has been proven that it is most definitely an increase in the disease which has in turn sparked so much awareness. I don't blame your neighbors in the least! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment! Love rose

Hi Rose, Have just caught up on your diary. Sorry you were feeling lonely... I can understand that! You are doing the hardest job in the world. As for vaccines yes I feel they are frightening. I had a friend that didn't vaccinate her kids until the oldest was over two and the littlest 1 1/2. I think you can wait if you want and create your own schedule (she was home with her kids and they didn't come into much contact with the public- so what was the rush?). It makes sense that the older your son is, the stronger his immune system will be. He is not going to daycare or out in public it seems- most of the time you are home, so it might be something to consider. Also you can always insist that it is against your religion or spiritual beliefs to immunize your children. That is actually a right the government has to recognize since this country was founded on the idea of religious freedom! There are books about all these subjects. You have to decide what is best and what you feel comfortable with. Sending love and support, Duck
