Do you know what's in a vaccine....

[FertileMertile]

I saw this picture posted on someones facebook page but the text was too small so I did a search and came across it on this website.

Pretty much sums up alot of reasons why me and DP choose not to vaccinate.

So just thought I would share :)

Do You know what's in a vaccine? (http://westwoodchiropractor.com/vaccine.html)

[Fuchsia!]

You gotta be careful which sites you look at. This is your classic anti vax scare mongering site.

Although i don't vax, these sites are just as bad as the over the top pro vax sites.

[FertileMertile]

Yeh i agree but this is simply stating whats in vaccines. Its nothing you wouldnt find out if you did your research :)

[prideNJoy]

I'm lost, how is this a 'classic anti vax scare mongering site' (Is it because of the way the 'poster' looks)?

It just looks like a chiro site to me, and this is the only bit of info on vaccine's (or what's in them) as far as I can see? :)

[luvmyboys]

I don't think it's as bad as scaremongering sites (from both sides), it states what is in them as well as possible and probable effects, you really wouldn't want to put the vast majority of them in your body. The only two I thought were a bit funny were gelatin - considering it's in jelly, jellybeans, lollies etc and msg - considering it is in a LOT of foods people eat.

I don't see it as scare mongering either. It's just stating what's in vaccines and the potential side effects.

6 of those ingredients are common in beauty products (cosmetics/skin care). Hence the same possible adverse reactions apply if you or your children are using those types of products on your skin.
A couple of the ingredients are preservatives which are necessary for the vaccines, just the same as there are preservatives in foods, skin care products, etc.

I have to question though, is mercury in fact in any vaccines anymore? I will do some more research but was of the belief that it was no longer used at all.

A lot of people actively avoid eating them though :yes: so if that was the case, then refusing a vax on the same basis would make sense? (to me at least)

i can't use it as a reason, cause i definitely don't avoid either.:p

there are a few that worry me on that list - not least of which is 'thimerosal' which is being taken out of the australian vax schedule...even though they 'haven't found anything wrong with it' (um...might just be me, but that sends off alarm bells in my head)

I could be wrong, but I think the newborn Hep B vax and the Flu vax both still contain Thimersol here (in Aust I mean). Worth checking anyway.

If you find formaldehyde in any skincare or food products feel free to PM me so I know to stay clear of it. Its listed as a carcogenic and is generally only used for embalming, most commonly in countries such as Ireland where the open coffin is the norm to stop gravity taking over after the loss of fluids

This is indeed true :yes:

[Aries7]

You need to worry about formaldehyde-releasing preservatives in skincare when the product also contains triethanolamine (TEA), diethanolamine (DEA) or monoethanolamine (MEA). Research has shown that when these are mixed, carcinogenic substances can form.

[FertileMertile]

Wow thats scary that skin care products also contain these substances! Thanks for the heads up i will now be doing my research to avoid them!

[bunintheoven12]

Yes, and that's why I refused to allow my children to be vaccinated. I didn't just look at any old websites either though many came up during my research. The World Health Organisation website and our government website supplied enough information to confirm or back up all the other reseach I'd done so I felt very comfortable with the decision and it was not one made lightly. I'm certain that if more people knew what was in them then less would allow them into their baby's bodies.

I was told by a health care professional that the Vaccine's themselves if injected into the body alone would be too minimal for the body to produce any immunity to them, so to make sure the body will create immunity to them they are mixed with "poison's" to ensure the body recognises that it is being invaded by a "baddie" and will therefore fight it and produce immunity.
This explains some of the awful substances written in that site.
I have immunised all my kids, and do so with anxiety, stress, fear and hope that they will be fine, luckily they are all healthy happy strong kids...we all do what we think is the right thing for our own children, i believe we all have a right as parents to make that decision without pressure from society, so be strong and do what you believe is right for your family. :)

Do you know what's in the air you breathe? Car fumes? The water you drink? The sunscreens you use? The soils your vegies are grown in?Etc etc etc etc etc

Yes, which leads me to to make the best decisions we can with all of those things....to reduce the amount of toxins us and our children are consuming. :)

:iagree: Couldn't have said it better Frechie! Unfortunately we live near a main road, so there's not much I can do about the air, except personally reduce our use of the car :D

One day we'll all live in a beautiful, perfect world with no polution and toxins poluting us and our gorgeous planet!
