Be Informed before Injecting

Mr. Z cut his finger today. It bled a LOT and, in the craziness of the moment, I thought I might call to see if we could get in to see our doctor just to see if it needed a stitch.

I was unprepared for the unsolicited medical directive that was inappropriately offered to me by the SECRETARY that I needed to come in for Mr. Z to get a tetanus shot.

IF I had been thinking clearly, I would have just asked to have the doctor call me back, but instead I said "uh, o.k., what time?"

Immediately after I got off the phone I felt sick to my stomach and knew that I needed to check into this further before I injected my son with a foreign substance because he had a cut on his finger.

What I was able to quickly learn about tetanus shots was more than troubling and I subsequently cancelled the appointment, cleaned the wound thoroughly (again), administered some herbal immunity boosting pills, and some of my homemade herbal "miracle salve."

(which is what I would normally do, duh!)

This incident made me aware of just how easy it is to passively fall into whatever the cultural norms are of the day, whether it be sending our kids off to indoctrination centers when they are 3 or injecting them with foreign substances because that's what the doctor (or his secretary) tells us to do.

We've made some decisions about vaccines in our family.

We made them with a large amount of information and prayer.

I can't tell you what you should do (nor do I want to), but I do want to exhort you to

INFORM yourself and discuss it with your spouse BEFORE you INJECT.

Please, take the time to at least check out the other side!

Do your own research, but here are a few places to start:

Interview with Dr. Sherri Tenpenny

PLEASE take the time to listen to this 4 part series from a doctor who used to give vaccines! Well worth your time!

some other good reading at klaty.com from another concerned mother who has done her research.

Don't Vaccinate Blindly!

PLEASE, PLEASE, be INFORMED about all vaccines. . . but especially do some research before you run out and give your children or yourself this new "1-shot H1N1" vaccine. PLEASE watch the following clip all the way to the end.

Did you know the newly developed vaccine has 25,000 times the amount of mercury that would be considered toxic to us if it was in our food or water? THINK about it!

So much of the paranoia with H1N1 is media hype. People get the flu every year. If you are really worried, make sure to stop giving your children sugar every day and concentrate on building a healthy immune system so they can fight off whatever kind of flu they might come in contact with.
