Vaccinations are one of the most controversial issues in modern medicine. Although the vast majority of the  conventional medical community believes they are an example of “preventive medicine,” there is a growing community that strongly disagrees.

On an ethical level, there is the issue of their compulsory nature.  Should you and your children be forced to have something injected into your bodies, for any reason?

This is precisely the case with vaccinations.  Meanwhile, ALL vaccines are immune suppressing, which means they depress your natural immune functions, leaving you vulnerable to any number of diseases.  And this is not even taking into account the vaccine additives, such as the mercury preservative thimerosal, which has been linked to autism and other neurological and developmental disorders in children.  Many of the vaccines that are now “required” for children are not even medically necessary.

At the top of my list of vaccinations that are highly questionable are the: Hepatitis B vaccine, Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, Gardasil, Chicken pox vaccine, Flu vaccine.

For some of you, this may be the first you’re hearing about vaccinations’ potential for harm, and their questionable effectiveness. But please don’t take my word for it.  You have at your fingertips a very powerful tool to find out the facts: the Internet.

There are thousands of articles about vaccines, their potential side effects, and their dangerous history.  Knowledge truly is power, and the  more you know about vaccinations,  the more empowered you’ll be to make the best decision for the health of you and your family.
