There is no question that vaccinations have played a critical role in protecting people from once common diseases and influenzas. Many doctor's today push a thorough schedule of vaccines starting with the day a baby is born. Most United States' schools will try to deny admission to school if a child has not been vaccinated.

However, there is growing concern about the side effects of these vaccinations. Mercury has commonly been used as a preservative in vaccinations. Mercury is one of most poisonous elements to man. It has been linked to alzheimer's, autism, epilepsy, and numerous other neurological disorders.

Happily, new preservatives are being used and developed. The vaccinations being administered today, in many cases, are much better. However, these questions may arise:

* Where Can I learn more about current Risks in Vaccinations?
* If I choose to avoid vaccinations, how can I get my child into public school?
* I suspect my child was damaged by vaccinations, how can I help him/her?

These three questions are answered below in three separate articles.

There are many books you can read, websites you can visit, and people you can talk to about the potential risks associated with vaccinations. I've found a great starting point to be The Vaccine Risks Report.

From the author's own words:

"This Vaccine Risks Report was compiled from over 50 books, essays, articles and interviews. All of the information is currently available in books, periodicals, and through scientific journals and reports. Many of the statistics, quotes, and detailed information can be found on the Internet now, through websites and search engines. However, I have gathered what I believe is to be the most
informative, interesting and thought provoking evidence and literature already for you!"

The Vaccine Risks Report helps answer the following questions, and more:

Do Vaccines have side effects?
Are Vaccines Mandatory?
What are the facts I'm NOT being told?
Do I have a choice NOT to vaccinate?
Are there organizations that can help
and support my decision?
What books or articles should I read?

If you want to understand both sides of the vaccination issue, this report rests squarely on the "against" side of vaccinations - and it was written by someone who was severely harmed by them. The list of references alone make this a good value.

If you've decided to avoid the AMA's vaccination regimine for your child or children, you will face some resistance. Public schools and some doctors may present the issue in such a way as to make you believe you do not have a choice in this issue. This is not true! You do have the right to make informed choices. IF this is the choice you are making, I highly recommend that you pick up a copy of:

While every family is different, we found success through homeopathy. If you are open to the concept, you will find many practitioners of biofeedback, neurofeedback and homeopathy that have a variety of methods for testing mercury levels in children. A look in your local phone book or a call to your local chiropractor will get you started.

If you do find heavy metals in your child, give serious thought to the method used to remove them. Make sure you discuss this with your doctor. There are many approaches used, and some can be quite involved (kelation for example). Any type of detox can worsen conditions before improving them, and the detox protocol may interfere with or exaggerate the effects of medication. Please consult with your doctor before attempting any type of detox or cleanse.
