We all have a point of view on a range of issues. Because they may be controversial, we don't always feel comfortable to express our deepest passions, for fear of retribution. This page expresses my personal opinion. I respect your right to disagree.

Over the years, I've become fascinated by the subject of vaccinations, especially in babies and children. I've had no personal bad experience. As a child, I was vaccinated, yet I still had every childhood illness, including mumps, measles and chicken pox.

In 2001, I married an American (I'm Australian) and we chose to initially live in the USA for family reasons. In order to be accepted into the country, I had to undergo rigorous personal investigation of my character, and of my personal medical history. I was required to provide vaccination certificates that were current in the past 10 years, for common childhood illnesses. Being near 40 years of age, I had no such certificates, and refused to have eleven vaccinations for illnesses I'd already had or would never have, because of my age.

Although the authorities made it difficult, I expressed my moral dilemma and began a waiver process. I had blood tests that showed I had immunity, either natural or acquired, for 9 of the 11 required vaccinations. Through a naturopath, I found a pharmacist in Australia who had developed a homeopathic medical remedy to build immunity. Three months later, my immunity levels to the two illnesses had risen just enough for the American Consulate to accept. The authorities also required me to pay a hefty additional fee for the waiver, which they refunded upon accepting my new immunity levels.

Why did I go the alternative path? Because I intensely dislike anyone injecting foreign substances into my body, unless it's absolutely necessary for my survival. I dislike systems that create fear in people, and publicize inaccuracies about subjects, including vaccination. I find it abhorrent that governments in western civilization, insist that children be vaccinated in order to attend schools. The scary part is 99% of the population subject their immune systems to 11 vaccinations, and who knows what that is doing to their medium and long term wellbeing.

When did we stop trusting the amazing design of our body, and begin believing the media and public dogma? The same can be said for childbirth, but I won't get on to that subject right now!

The following contains excerpts mainly taken from a video called "Vaccination - The Hidden Truth". All information on this video is by medical doctors who have listened to their instinctual responses and looked deeper into the issue of vaccination. There are thousands of pages of research on the impact of vaccination published in well regarded orthodox medical journals around the world.

• Medical doctors are statistically the lowest vaccinated group in modern society.
• Vaccines contain decomposed proteins of animals, formaldehyde (which is used to embalm corpses), sodium chloride, mercury and aluminium to name a few. These are substances that are foreign to our human bodies, and can cause severe allergic reactions, sometimes relating in death. Unfortunately, very young children are at the greatest risk.
• All infectious diseases had been declining steadily before vaccination was introduced en masse in the 1940's. Vaccinating did not alter the fall, which was naturally occurring due to improved hygiene, sanitation and sewage treatment systems.
• Health authorities keep changing the definition of an infectious disease, hence skewing figures in favour of the medical profession.
• Deaths and side effects of vaccination are not being reported as widely due to pressure in the medical profession to have better results.
• Drug companies, through their main outlets (ie. medical doctors) are the main marketers and push behind vaccination. It's a multi billion dollar industry. The question becomes, is vaccinating about making money, or truly doing what's right for our children?
• Fully vaccinated areas (that have been well documented) where 99% of the population have been vaccinated, still contract the infectious disease they have been vaccinated against. This shouldn't be possible.
• The most effective combatant to infectious disease is good hygiene (washing hands before eating or after going to the toilet), good sanitation (drinking and bathing in non-sewered/clean water) and optimum immune system response by nourishing your body with good nutrition, care of outer organs (such as the skin, being the largest organ) and having a peaceful mind through lowered stress (regular meditation and spiritual practises support medical evidence in this regard).
• Some research relates cot death and severe allergic and respiratory dysfunction to vaccinating babies.
• Well documented and published medical research indicates that modern conditions accepted to some degree as normal, such as asthma, environmental allergies, ADD (attention deficit disorder), chronic fatigue syndrome and leukemia, hardly existed (if at all) before the introduction of mass vaccination in the mid 1940's.
• Well documented and published medical research indicates that childhood diseases such as measles and chicken pox, appear to be a useful (and necessary)? way that children develop their immune systems, and their cerebral responses.
• Some researchers are linking behaviour abnormalities and the increased violence in our society with vaccination (putting foreign substances in to a human body may cause gene manipulation)
• Before his death, Louis Pasteur, the father of germ theory, admitted that the less than optimal state of the internal environment of the person's body was more likely to be the cause of disease than the germ itself. Germs are present in human beings all the time.
• The biggest clue to vaccination not being the answer is the onset of the AIDS epidemic. Vaccination works on the theory that having antibodies present of a particular infectious disease means that person is protected against that disease. Having antibodies present simply shows you've been exposed to the germ. You may never show symptoms or develop the disease. Antibodies in AIDS patients are the enemy, providing no protection to the patient. Therefore the basic theory that vaccination is built on is flawed.

Health isn't born in a bottle or a syringe. Health comes from healthful living.

The key to choosing differently is awareness

I do not impose my viewpoints on others. I just offer them as an alternative point of view. If there is something written here that angers you, or pushes the boundaries of what you believe, I INVITE YOU to find out for yourself. Research the subject. Ask intelligent questions of a variety of people, inside and most importantly outside of the industry in question. Beliefs, thoughts and feelings can cloud the facts, and sometimes we need to trust our intuition and go beyond what we hear to explore what is not being spoken.
