Mandatory Vaccinations
Chiropractic is a bit of a different thought process than medicine. Even from an early age, for me a trip to the doctor was like a nightmare. I never wanted to see another doctor. When I was a little bit older, maybe like about 12 I remember clearly running out of a doctor's office and refusing to return because she was going to give me a shot. I remember my mother taking me back with my father to reinforce the fact that I was going to get this vaccination. So in any case, I got the shot, but I have always been one of those people who really can't stand routine medicine.
I think that medicine definitely has its value in our society. I think that medicine should be used to save lives, etc when needed. To sew back on limbs and give stitches, if necessary, however, I don't believe in a well patient system. I know that right now most of you are saying…WHAT?! It is my feeling that perhaps well patient care is not necessary. I think that most doctors rush to give treatment without allowing the body to experience a natural immunity. Your body has the inborn or innate ability to heal itself and only when allowed to use this immunity, can it really get stronger.
For instance, I don't believe in vaccinations. I believe that one reason you have to have follow up boosters, is because your body is rebelling against what the doctors are injecting you with. That is your natural immunity fighting. When you teach your body that if it rebels against an agent, that you are just going to keep bombarding it, aren't you really telling the body that this poison is okay. We live in a very clean society, with fresh drinking water, etc. We do not need vaccinations in the same way that the people in Africa do. In a poorer less advanced society, there may be more need for vaccinations, but in this country, there is really no need. In fact, most of the diseases for which they currently immunize children for, were on the decline in our society before the vaccinations were distributed, and there was a noticeable spike in the instances of these diseases immediately following the distribution of these vaccinations. By getting vaccinated for something, you are allowing them to inject your body with a form of the disease, in the same way you develop immunity to a disease you have already gotten.
In short, in this unknown world where anything can happen, I would rather rely on the innate ability of my body to fight off disease, rather than that the doctor gave me the right medicine or shot for it.
Also, there is a whole other issue surrounding these vaccinations. It is perhaps not a very widespread thought process as yet, however, it has been recently discovered that childhood vaccinations may very well be causing many cases of autism in our society. It is my person belief that many of the childhood issues are caused by these vaccinations especially at the early ages for which they are prescribed. I believe that the future will show that instances of ear infections, asthma, and crib death will be just some of the vaccination related issues of the future. I just know that for me, I will not subject my children to this form of cracking their immunity. I will instead allow them to utilize their own natural process to fight off disease and build natural immunity.
Just an aside, there is no truth to the fact that your children cannot attend school without vaccinations, that is just government hype. In each and every state, there is a waiver that you can sign to reject immunizations, and that waiver goes in your child's folder in place of the vaccination certificate. If you are unsure about vaccinations there are plenty of books out there about this, and it is truly your choice as to whether to subject your child to this or not.
