Thank you for your comment, and yes, I hav...Anon...<br />Thank you for your comment, and yes, I have looked into infectious diseases. Thoroughly. Thank goodness we haven't experienced an outbreak and I don't know first hand how tragic it can be. However, the more research I do on infectious diseases, the more I realize that Autism is the greatest risk our society faces right now. No, there is no cure for some diseases, such as Polio. However only a very small percentage of those who catch Polio will ever experience any lasting effects from the disease. Rates of children who are suffering from Autism are much higher than that. <br /><br />Yes, there is a risk that my children could be seriously harmed or die from a disease I have chosen not to vaccinate them against. I hope that never happens, but if it does, I will have to live with the choice I made. However, I would also have to live with the knowledge that I vaccinated my children knowing that they would almost certainly have a reaction, the results of which could be devastating. And for what? "Just in case"? No thank you.Krista Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16440000069944881756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704017861294094549.post-10887517249336673842011-05-20T09:44:22.167-07:002011-05-20T09:44:22.167-07:00I am sorry your daughters has been so badly affect...I am sorry your daughters has been so badly affected by vaccines - it is terrible. But have you done as much research on infectious diseases as you have the negative effects of vaccines? Do you know that if we are all not vaccinated then eventually none if us has immunity? Polio has not been eradicated - do you really want your kids and other kids to be susceptible? Before you advocate you should consider the consequences - it is a truly dangerous choice you are making. Your daughter could easily have autism AND polio. Because we have never experienced an epidemic (thanks to vaccines) we do not know how tragic it can be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704017861294094549.post-6593704748558090672010-08-13T18:01:31.540-07:002010-08-13T18:01:31.540-07:00Thanks, Krista for the update & all the info o...Thanks, Krista for the update & all the info on vaccines. I have been really reluctant to start my 4 month old on her vaccines. I was slightly concerned with my now 3 yr old when she was a baby. Same thing, talked to my dr and he reassured me it was no problem. I have been really concerned with my baby. Thanks for all the books & sites to check out. I appreciate you taking the time to relate your experience. <br />Glad to hear Abby is doing so much better!<br />CeCearroyo famhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17275681748352145039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704017861294094549.post-15035210696907176042010-07-30T11:53:37.364-07:002010-07-30T11:53:37.364-07:00Wow!

Thanks again for the post, and I'm so happy to hear that your little girl is finally getting the help she needs. It is so hard to find good doctors now a days.Palmyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08541195672506435863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704017861294094549.post-12962205689209686122010-07-26T07:05:31.506-07:002010-07-26T07:05:31.506-07:00I am SO SO glad that you've found a doctor who...I am SO SO glad that you've found a doctor who will listen to you and can help you help your little girl. There's nothing quite as stressful as knowing there's a problem, but being treated like a psycho mom who doesn't know anything. Ugh! I have a friend here who's daughter was recently diagnosed with celiac disease and has to go the whole gluten-free route. You two have my sincerest sympathies! Talk about a life change - and so much more expensive! But the wonderful changes diet can bring are SO worth it. I'm especially glad to hear that your sweet, precocious Abby is becoming more the little girl I knew. What a sweet relief. Good luck with everything!Saddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494409439805538595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704017861294094549.post-13029076724013907322010-07-26T06:29:46.883-07:002010-07-26T06:29:46.883-07:00I had no idea you were going through this with Abb...I had no idea you were going through this with Abby.
