Here's what Generation Rescue advises:
Take Precaution
Consider delaying vaccines until your child is 18-24 months old.
Do not vaccinate if your child is taking antibiotics.
Consider no more than one vaccine per doctor’s visit.
If you plan to get the MMR vaccine, ask your doctor to give it in three separate vaccines for measles, mumps and rubella.
Consider giving high doses of Vitamin C (3,000-5,000 mg per day) on the day before, of, and after vaccination.
If your child experiences any developmental delays, stop vaccinating until you learn more.
With the measles vaccine (MMR), consider high doses of Vitamin A (5,000 IU or more) on the day before, of, and after vaccination.
If your child has an adverse reaction to a vaccine, stop vaccinating until you learn more.
Always ask to see the vaccine insert, and never accept a vaccine that uses the preservative Thimerosal (mercury). For a complete list of vaccines with Thimerosal, see the FDA’s website here. Note: most flu shots today still contain Thimerosal.
Consider delaying vaccines
In our favorite article on vaccines, A User-Friendly Vaccine Schedule, written by University of Washington surgeon Donald Miller, Dr. Miller makes a number of interesting observations including:
"Public health officials, however, have not proven that it is indeed safe to inject this many vaccines into infants. What's more, they cannot explain why, concurrent with an increasing number of vaccinations, there has been an explosion of neurologic and immune system disorders in our nation’s children."
And:
"New knowledge in neuroimmunology (the study of how the brain’s immune system works) raises serious questions about the wisdom of injecting vaccines in children less than two years of age."
Dr. Miller’s recommendation: don’t start vaccinating your child until they turn two years old.
Consider an alternative schedule to the CDC’s current schedule
It really is shocking to look at the 1983 recommended vaccine schedule and compare it to 2010. Does a child really need so many more vaccines today? And, why does the rest of the world give far fewer vaccines (see here)? Quiz your doctor by asking them how many vaccines were on the schedule in the 1980s. We have found that most have no idea. Three potential alternative schedules to consider:
Listen to the Doctor (our favorite)
Donald Miller, M.D., is a surgeon at the University of Washington. His article, A User-Friendly Vaccine Schedule, is summarized into this schedule.
Turn back the clock
This is the schedule from 1983. If it worked for kids then, why doesn't it work for kids now?
Consider the vaccine schedules of Denmark, Sweden, Finland, or Iceland.
These four countries all give far fewer vaccines than the U.S. and have far lower rates of autism. Is there a connection? If every vaccine is so important, why don’t these other countries give them? As one example, read about the Rotavirus vaccine here.
