First big question of the blog:
Should I vaccinate my children?
I am going to start this post by making it clear that I do
not have any children, so, I understand that it is easy to tell me that I cannot
possibly understand what it feels like to make that decision. I am in no way trying to persuade you either
way, I am simply an unbiased writer helping everyone to be informed.
Let’s talk about that though. I commonly hear the remark;
you just don’t understand what it feels like to make that decision for your
child, someone you have bared, etc. All this is telling me is that most of us
in the US have decided the choice of vaccination or no vaccination is up to an
emotional driven decision instead of a factual one, based on research.
“But the doctor told me this. The pediatrician told me that,”
etc. There isn’t anyone that wants to tell you not to listen to your doctor,
not me, not anyone, but you do not have to take their advice as the golden
rule, end all beat all, no possible reason to look elsewhere, or get a second
opinion. You have to be as much a part of your health as anyone. So, I encourage
second opinions, doing your homework, and getting answers that you truly
believe in.
At the end of the day, everyone wants to do what is absolutely
best for their children. That I can understand, even if I am not a parent. So,
to answer the question, as a non-parent, holistic health physician, and avid
researcher, here goes.
In my opinion (see what I did there) I feel like the vaccine
schedule is too intense. Too many vaccines at one time. Too many administered at
too young of an age. But that is just my opinion, I will accept any criticism
for that.
Let’s start talking facts.
Do vaccines work?
You are going
to find a plethora of studies that show how vaccines have eradicated some very
serious diseases, and at the same time, if you look deeper, you will find that
simply natural selection has eradicated these diseases.
You will hear how autism is being expressed in children that
get vaccines due to mercury and preservatives in the vaccine. Then you will
hear about studies being shown that this is impossible.
It is nearly impossible to find the empirical evidence that
you need to make the right decision, right?
As an avid researcher, I feel it is important to analyze the integrity of the
research itself. Who funded it? Who stands to benefit from the outcomes of the
study? Is there any way the data is skewed to ensure such an outcome that is
beneficial for those who have funded it and stand to make a profit from it?
This is where I find it hard to trust any evidence that is funded by the
pharmaceutical industry. They stand to make $$BILLIONS$$ of dollars if the
vaccine schedule seems effective. They are directly building a case to sell
their products.
Then I look at the research that comes up with the latter of
the terms. They show how vaccines are not working as it seems. They show how
the decline in the diseases that are ever so boastfully acclaimed by the
vaccine producing studies is simply a form of natural selection. So, I have to
ask myself, what do these researchers have to gain for this work and
information? I struggle to find a monetary gain. I struggle to see a power
gain. I also struggle to see any reason for them to write this to falsely hurt
the health of the people around them. Let’s face it. A non-biased company is
not going to write about how vaccines are unnecessary if they actually are.
They have no reason to try and discredit something that will ultimately keep
you from contracting a major illness? Right?
So, I continue to look at the big picture. I dig deeper.
I am sure you have seen the epic amount of news articles
about whistle blowers from the CDC discussing how they have corruptively hidden
evidence of mercury toxicity from vaccines linking to autism. The struggle is
finding this research. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT. So, in order to keep writing in evidence
based way, I can only write about what I have found.
Have you heard of The National Vaccine Injury Compensation
Program?
Well it seems in 1988, the vaccine industry was struggling
to make enough profit to compensate for the claims of harm done, so they
created an excise tax on vaccines that gets paid to the CDC indirectly for
these claims.
Since then, that value for the CDC has risen to over $3.4
BILLION. That seems like a conflict of interest to me, but hey, who knows?
So, do vaccines work?
Again, it is difficult to give an empirical answer to that.
Studies show they do, studies show they don’t. But what I do know is this.
Since the outbreak of measles from Disneyland, it does seem to be alarming that
a percentage of those that contracted measles were of the vaccinated population…
Yes, some of the spreading of measles has gone to the vaccinated population. So,
does the vaccine work, maybe, does it not work, yes it seems so... You are
probably not going to hear the exact numbers or percentages of those
contracting measles which are vaccinated or not, because simply, the US, CDC,
pharmaceutical world doesn’t want you to hear that vaccinated kids can get
measles. Hmm.
Let’s move on. Have
you ever heard of Atypical Measles?
To quote Medicinenet.com
“Atypical
measles syndrome (AMS): An altered expression of measles,
AMS begins suddenly with high fever,
headache,
cough, and abdominal
pain. The rash
may appear 1 to 2 days later, often beginning on the limbs. Swelling (edema) of the hands and
feet may occur. Pneumonia
is common and may persist for 3 months or more.
AMS occurs in
persons who were incompletely immunized against measles. This may happen if a
person were given the old killed-virus measles vaccine (which does not provide
complete immunity and is no longer available); or the person were given
attenuated (weakened) live measles vaccine that was, by accident, inactivated
during improper storage. Immunization with inactivated measles virus does not
prevent measles virus infection. It can, however, sensitize a person so that
the expression of the disease is altered, resulting in AMS.
More alarming, is when you find out that encephalitis is a
common symptom of measles and atypical measles, and now there is a dominant link
to children with autism and also having encephalitis. Again, no empirical
evidence to confirm this finding has anything to do with vaccines.
To clear this up, it seems that the MMR is not going to guarantee
you will not contract measles if exposed. If you get the MMR there is a chance
you will contract Atypical Measles from the vaccine itself, which can lead to
encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) and that is linked to autism in
children. Again, these are just facts from the reading above. I am in no way
trying to just attack the MMR vaccine, or measles in this writing, but the
current outbreak does bring it to top of mind. The flu vaccine is another
dandy, which is also on the schedule for vaccines according to the CDC for
children under 1 year old.
Back to the main question at hand. Should I vaccinate my
children?
This is an answer that only you can decide. I am unbiased. I
can find research that shows how magnificent they are (with a blind eye on whom
funded it) and I can find research that shows how devastating they can be.
But what would I do? (This is my opinion, take it or leave
it)
As I said, I do not have any children of my own at this
time. But, my children will be vaccinated on a
very different schedule, if any.
I will never allow a combined MMR vaccine to be administered, it is just too
much. The more research I do, and the more it seems that vaccines are a danged
if you don’t, more danged if you do scenario, I would say that I will do the
latter. I am not a fan of putting a chemical, dead virus, inoculated pathogen,
whatever, into the bloodstream of my future children unless I know that there
is a 100% chance of no failure or complications. Considering the CDC has
$3.4Billion in a compensation program, I am worried. Instead, I will promote a
healthy immune system in my children. Help them build strong immune systems, ready
to fight incoming pathogens. I plan to do this by providing healthy foods
instead of processed junk. I will be sure they take a probiotic and eat
fermented foods like sauerkraut. It is all too often that I hear parents
discussing how difficult it is to get their children to eat healthy. This is an
epidemic of itself. We will discuss that later in a future blog.

The birth of New-Start Health Center came in late March
2012. Upon graduating for Palmer College of Chiropractic, Florida in December
2011, I set out to create a health center that bases its principles around
changing what you think and know about the medical system. With a strong grasp
on Evidence-Based Chiropractic Care and an evolving knowledge on nutritional therapy,
tying the two holistic medicine approaches together would be the premise of
New-Start Health Center. 
The first year was definitely the most difficult. Opening a business
that is designed to go against the grain is never easy. Fresh out of college, I
definitely felt on my own. There are many chiropractic management companies
that are designed to help young businesses get off the ground, but I wanted to
pioneer something unique. The primary disconnect for myself and chiropractic
management companies is the overall feeling of chiropractic in our society. We
have all heard the horror stories of going to a chiropractor, “once you go you
have to go forever” or “they spend 2 minutes with you and just crack your back”.
Trying to change the mind of the majority on how New-Start is a different style
of chiropractic. Evidence-Based Chiropractic does not X-ray every patient. We
treat pain syndromes and we release them from care. I spend about 12-15 minutes
with every patient, minimum. This is a dramatic change to the stereotypical
chiropractic visit.
Treating low back pain, headaches, knee pain, etc, has is
rewards, but the current epidemic in the US with obesity and diabetes is
something I have become drawn to. As I stated, an evolving knowledge on nutritional
therapy, I have spent countless hours in a biochemistry book, in seminars, and
scouring the internet for research studies to figure out exactly what is going
wrong. The common medical practices for diabetes and obesity have fallen short.
We are getting sicker, fatter, and unhealthier at a faster rate than ever
previously recorded. Unfortunately, healthcare costs are also at an all-time
high and climbing quickly. In the anecdotal world, the treatment of conditions
starts with covering up the symptoms, and with low back pain, or migraines,
this is not detrimental. When you start to use this approach toward an inflammatory
condition like Diabetes or Obesity, more problems arise.
