this is one of the biggest bunch of hog wash I have read in a long time. Do you actually think a Doctor would risk his/her license by giving out a deadly vaccine. This type of nutty stuff goes with :"the flu shot gives me the flu." Keep away from the shots, that way it will more for folks like myself. I have taken one each year for at least 10 years, and both my daughters(one got a bad case of the flu one year) hates needles with a passion but she will take any flu shot available. I am sure…

While I doubt there is any real danger in the vaccine for adults and older children. There is some question in my mind about the possible harm to a newborn.

you don't understand. you can google all the meetings and trouble there's been over this in the various states on your own. it would have passed a while back, but there was so much trouble made over it, they rescinded the bill....for now. they always come back. and usually more quietly.<br />

where do you get your information about thimerosal? wikipedia?

vaccines aren't mandated at this time, but there's been a huge push in government in that direction. if vaccines for kids are mandated, it will be a matter of time before they're mandated for adults.<br />
<br />
all vaccines contain mercury in the form of thimerosal. even the ones that claim they're 'thimerosal-free'. be it in "trace amounts" or not, it's there. it's what is used as a preservative. i'm aware of how ethylmercury is metabolized. it's a neurotoxin.<br />
<br />
so are you saying that if there's less then one mcg of thimerosal in a vaccine (the fda 'trace amount' guideline) then it's ok by you? a little neurotoxin is ok? a little autism? a touch of dementia?<br />
<br />
the thing is, these flu shots contain at least 25 mcgs of thimerosal. that's alot. gardasil contains 675 mcg of thimerosal. i've seen what alzheimer's does to people and those who love them. it's a cruel, devastating life, and a difficult death. no thanks. again, pacis, you're so busy…tag:teebeedee.ning.com,2009-08-22:1991841:Comment:2781652009-08-22T00:03:53.808ZOCNaturalDochttp://teebeedee.ning.com/profile/Kristy

"<i>The question of whether or not to be vaccinated is a personal one, as it has always been.</i>"<br />
i agree, vernon. however, our health freedoms are currently under heavy fire and are being threatened.<br />
<br />
many states have been trying to pass laws mandating vaccines for children, including gardasil. why would anyone vaccinate a 9 year old for a sexually transmitted disease? according to merck.com, "GARDASIL is the only cervical cancer vaccine that helps protect against 4 types of human papillomavirus (HPV): 2 types that cause 70% of cervical cancer cases, and 2 more types that cause 90% of genital warts cases. GARDASIL is for girls and young women ages 9 to 26."<br />
<br />
cervical cancer usually doesn't show up til the age of 37. vaccines usually don't last more than 7 years. so why would we mandate this vaccine for 9 year olds? and what about young women who are not sexually active? is it fair they would be required to be vaccinated when they don't even need it? HPV is a sexually transmitted disease. that's the ONLY way you get it. these are some of the reasons why i oppose mandating vaccines.<br />
<br />
back to merck:<br />
<br />
"GARDASIL may not fully protect everyone, and does not prevent all types of cervical cancer, so it’s important to continue routine cervical cancer screenings. GARDASIL does not treat cervical cancer or genital warts. GARDASIL will not protect against diseases caused by other HPV types or against diseases not caused by HPV. GARDASIL is given as 3 injections over 6 months.<br />
<br />
<b>Anyone who is allergic to the ingredients</b> of GARDASIL, including those severely allergic to yeast, should not receive the vaccine. GARDASIL is not for women who are pregnant."<br />
<br />
and that's been my point all along and why i post the ingredients of vaccines. they're not for everyone -- they're designed to treat symptoms <u>for the masses</u>. people can have devastating allergic reactions to medications and vaccines...even die from them. i know this for a fact because i was OD'ed in an ER for an insect bite. it's called anaphylaxis. i flat lined, was intubated and then in a coma -- all from an insect bite. my fiance (at the time) told the hospital of my drug allergies, but they did what they did anyway.<br />
<br />
i was in critical care for a long time. upon release, the doctor prescribed an epipen. are you kidding? i am allergic to synthetic epinephrin. that's part of what caused the OD. when i challenged him, he told me i was in one of the top 10 hospitals in the country, said i asked too many questions, and that i would die if i didn't take all the drugs they wanted me to after release. yes, he really said those things. AND he threw my chart at me. none of his rant resonated with me and i left my room....i wouldn't have even stuck around, but i was waiting for someone to remove the last catheter from my arm. i went out looking for someone...anyone...to take it out so i could bail.<br />
<br />
i won't be bullied by anyone. once you've gone through all of that and lived to tell about it, you are forever changed.<br />
<br />
even after all that, i am not anti-pharm. i don't hate medical doctors. i love the doctors i choose. one of my best friends is a medical doctor, although she and i didn't have too many health conversations at first because she's admittedly all about medicine, and was very happy to tell me upon our first meeting that what i do is "crap". yup, she really said that. and in front of a lot of people, too. LOL!<br />
<br />
i later called her on it, and told her she was full of it, because she is the most athletic person i know...always at the gym, blading, biking...something. her body is bangin'. to her credit, she has the best skin of any md i've ever met. i used to call her 'dugie hauser' because i thought she looked too young to have had the experience she has. i couldn't believe it when she told me she was 47! she'll be 48 soon. she barely looks 30 and frequently passes for mid 20's. she makes excellent food choices, too. even her homemade margaritas made with all fresh ingredients...except the booze, of course. and it takes a long time to cut and squeeze those limes! you can drink them til there's to tomorrow with no hangover (cuz they don't have that crappy sugary syrupy stuff in them.)<br />
<br />
none of those choices are about medicine. they are high quality lifestyle choices. vibrant health isn't a prison. it's a series of choices. so we don't suggest you drink a gallon of those margies in one sitting :-)<br />
<br />
she used to work in a very well known and highly regarded hospital and noticed her health and happiness were declining due to the demanding schedule. she didn't want that for herself, so she changed jobs, allowing for exercise, good food and quality rest. she enjoys a very well balanced lifestyle. when she realized that making high quality lifestyle choices is what i'm about, we became good friends. she admitted to not really knowing what a naturopath does, which essentially is to provide health and lifestyle education. she gave me a list of what she had imagined it to be and i don't practice any of those things. LOL! i love good and direct communication. it gets us all on the same page.<br />
<br />
so here's my deal:<br />
i am pro-choice. if you want the shot, feel free to have it. not all of us can. please let it be our choice.<br />
I am pro-upholding the constitution and bill of rights.<br />
i am against the over and mis-prescribing of drugs. i think most people would agree with me on that one.<br />
i am against the over recommending of unnecessary surgeries. (my dad is has a heartbreaking story).<br />
i believe there should be high quality lifestyle education included in a health care reform plan. The question of whether or no…tag:teebeedee.ning.com,2009-08-21:1991841:Comment:2766442009-08-21T17:53:40.585ZVernon Windsorhttp://teebeedee.ning.com/profile/VernonWindsor
The question of whether or not to be vaccinated is a personal one, as it has always been. Many, many lives have been saved through vaccinations. There have been a few problems, but they have been, by and large, few and far between. I do think giving people partial information is a serious problem, especially when there is the appearance of potentially profiting from that act. Trust in a medical care provider is essential.

Be your own advocate.
