Things to Know about Vaccines:

Potential Side Effects 

Local - soreness, pain, swelling, and a rash at the vaccination site (affecting 10%--64% of patients) that lasts <2 days  

Systemic - Fever, malaise, myalgia, and other systemic symptoms can occur and most often affect persons who have had no prior exposure to the virus antigens in the vaccine (e.g., young children). These reactions begin 6--12 hours after vaccination and can persist for 1--2 days.  

Points to Consider:

1. Formaldehyde, heavy metals (mercury) and chemicals are often used to destroy the virus and create the vaccine
2. Vaccinations prevent the body from naturally responding to external pathogens like viruses and bacteria.
3. A strong and healthy immune system is required to build permanent immunity and decrease the potential for developing unknown side effects from exposure to vaccinations.
4. Must debate the pros and cons of getting the disease or the vaccine… for instance, if your child was to get chicken pox, he or she would not die from it, but if your child was to develop tetanus, the chances of catching it on time to treat is more difficult.

If you decide to Vaccinate:

There are great homeopathic remedies that help to prevent side effects of getting the vaccine; for instance, soreness, pain, and swelling at the site of injection as well as other potential side effects.

If you decide not to Vaccinate:

There are homeopathic remedies for each disease which are given to help protect the body if you decide not to vaccinate your child.  This treatment can begin after 3 months of age.
