Vaccinations
By Tricia Mayo

The decision to vaccinate a child has become a difficult decision due to the pressures exerted by the government and medical establishments backed by powerful pharmaceutical companies.

There is substantial published scientific medical research and many clinical cases to back up the evidence of the vaccine connection to autism alone, and it is not just one doctor's flawed research of a small sample backed up by hysterical parents.  Research is available showing a strong correlation to the MMR vaccine programmes in the United States and the UK and the pandemic increase in autism from 1 in 10,000 births to 1 in 150 in the last 20 years. (1).

There have been a plethora of emotional attacks by medical and government bodies against the researchers and the autism community because of their anti-vaccine stance.  The establishment states that the vaccines cannot be to blame and that they are safe; also that the good of the masses is more important than the individual.  This emotional response by the authorities is similar to that of the tobacco industry's denial of the lung cancer connection to cigarettes and similarly the link of variant CJD to beef.

A reasonable response by the Government would be to respond to the initial reports by Wakefield by accepting the significance and importance of the findings and the need to undertake further clinical research to replicate and explore the vaccine/autism connection using all available resources.  However, the first published research on the vaccine-autism link was in 1998 yet it was not until 2004 that the government and medical establishments funded investigations into this connection.

Everyone has the right to make an informed choice regarding vaccinations whichever one they are required to have.  To find out more individuals have to make their own investigations using the internet as there is no unbiased information available from the government.

How can homeopathy help?

• If you choose to have the vaccination, for whatever reason, homeopathy can help to clear any residual effects by supporting the liver and strengthen the immune system to deal with the vaccination material.
  
• If your choice is not to vaccinate then homeopathy can provide a prophylactic remedy. 
  
• If you choose to do nothing and the medical condition develops then homeopathy can treat this e.g. if your child goes to "chicken pox parties"
