That is a lession for everyone always read about a drug before you give it or get it. Then look it up on the internet. I hear that the drug lupron is about to be used for autism.

I had held off for as long as I thought I could. Our papers would regularly print articles on how your child would absolutely without exception not be able to enter school without their shots. Local nurses had articles on how "safe" the shots were and how necessary they were to have a healthy child. I felt like my child was a lab rat. My husbands family, who would do and take whatever a doctor would give them with no questions asked, acted like something awful would happen to my kids if they werent protected. I finally gave in and the nurses even uped the doses to make up for previous shots they never recieved. I was furious. It wasnt until two years later that I finally found out I could sign a form that would be put in there records. It said my child would be the first to be taken out of school if an outbreak occured. Well that sounded good to me. I always thought that was funny. If the shots worked like they say wouldnt those kids have no worries?&lt;br&gt;My 7 year old has never had a shot. In fact he has never had to go to the doctor or emergency room. I know some people feel that a yearly checkup is needed but if he is not sick why subject him to a waiting room with people who have who-knows-what and run the risk of picking up something there. He also breast fed for his first 14 months and he is the tallest kid in his class. He is in fact as tall as most of the 4-5 graders even though he is in first grade. I always wonder when I see these other boys his age that are so small and have trouble learning whether it could be the shots or being bottle fed or both.&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=103276" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Children With Autism Get Their Day in Court</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/06/13/Children-With-Autism-Get-Their-Day-in-Court.aspx#103274</link><pubDate>Thu, 28 Jun 2007 15:08:08 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:103274</guid><dc:creator>Miss Melissa</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Vaccinated vs. Unvaccinated Populations to Be Researched Under Newly Introduced Bill, H.R. 2832&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Send and message asking your Rep. to to support H.R. 2832, co-sponsored by Reps.

&lt;p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE: 13.5pt; COLOR: #000099; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'"&gt;Summary of H.R. 2832:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;H.R. 2832 will direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to conduct or support a comprehensive study comparing total health outcomes, including risk of autism, in vaccinated populations in the United States with such outcomes in unvaccinated populations in the United States, and for other purposes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE: 13.5pt; COLOR: #000099; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'"&gt;&lt;br&gt;The proposed legislation provides as follows:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Securing the health of our children is our most important concern for the Nation's future. Health outcomes measure the success of public health efforts in chronic and infectious disease. The number of immunizations. administered to infants, pregnant women, children, teenagers and adults has grown dramatically over recent years. The incidence of chronic, unexplained diseases such as autism, learning disabilities, and other neurological disorders appears to have increased dramatically. Individual vaccines are tested for safety, but little safety testing has been conducted for interaction of effects of multiple vaccines. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;cont'd below...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=103274" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Children With Autism Get Their Day in Court</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/06/13/Children-With-Autism-Get-Their-Day-in-Court.aspx#103271</link><pubDate>Thu, 28 Jun 2007 13:06:02 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:103271</guid><dc:creator>rjskater</dc:creator><description>I have seven children, all unvaccinated.&amp;nbsp; Most have never seen a doctor.&amp;nbsp; They are all healthy,&amp;nbsp; and&amp;nbsp; intelligent, however the most noticeable difference between my kids and others is that they all have very long attention spans, especially as young children.&amp;nbsp; There was a very obvious difference between my kids and their friends who flitted from one activity to another while mine stayed focused. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=103271" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Children With Autism Get Their Day in Court</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/06/13/Children-With-Autism-Get-Their-Day-in-Court.aspx#103270</link><pubDate>Thu, 28 Jun 2007 12:56:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:103270</guid><dc:creator>Scard by Big Pharm</dc:creator><description>I have a friends and the Dr. gave a vaccine to her toddler.&amp;nbsp; Then realized the vaccine had gone past the expiration date and wanted to give another "good" one right away.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Luckily she said no!&amp;nbsp; Do you think the "bad" one has suddenly just become water?&amp;nbsp; No, it still has something in it and we aren't giving another dose at the same time.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And this is a "trusted Dr." with a great PhD in Medicine!&amp;nbsp; I am more scared of most Drs. every day!!!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=103270" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Children With Autism Get Their Day in Court</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/06/13/Children-With-Autism-Get-Their-Day-in-Court.aspx#103267</link><pubDate>Thu, 28 Jun 2007 12:42:03 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:103267</guid><dc:creator>Steve Rogers</dc:creator><description>I have two children that have been vaccinated and I was really worried that bad things would happen, but they seem to be just fine; very intelligent little girls.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Also from hear-say I heard that thimerosal was removed from children's vaccinations about 6 years ago and the Autism rate has not dropped at all.

I decided not to vaccinate our one-year-old, and the pressure from our ped and from society in general has been overwhelming.
