I have three unvaccinated boys 3, 9 & 11 years old. We have only had one trip to the doctor out of all those years, never used antibiotics, do not use fluoride in toothpastes and none of them have fillings. This is replicated by all other non-vaccination families I know and am friends with. They are the healthiest kids I know. Other then non vaccination, no antibiotics (oral and household sprays), no fluoride and reduced chemicals (esp artificial sweeteners) and toxins in food and house, I can see no other things that we do differently to other friends. Why are the majority of my neighbours' kids regularly very ill, on continuous rounds of antibiotics, steroids, suffering from asthma, autism, allergies. It may not all lie at the feet of vaccination but it is just another assault on the immune system. 

Personally, until I read of a serious, impartial, long term, study involving a comparison of vaccinated and non-vaccinated children in a developed country with good living conditions looking at rates of general health incl autism, asthma etc then I will not be injecting very harmful chemicals and illnesses into my children. This is my attitude re: household chemical, chemicals and pesticides in food etc - all of which the Governments and Doctors tell us are safe. I am afraid that they do not have the research to back this up.One question though?Now that these diseases are harder to find, my kids have not had measles and I am not sure if I want to risk them having it during teenage due to the increased dangers so should I have the oldest one vaccinated by single dose with Measles (they have had mumps naturally - very easily). Can't decide what to do?CheersRichard
