I obviously have a differing opinion about vaccination than what seems to be &quot;popular&quot; these days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-263526528245999640.post-76152119249483901152009-10-20T17:07:46.610-07:002009-10-20T17:07:46.610-07:00Actually, polio cases had dropped majorly on their own by the time the polio vaccine hit the market.<br />And, if you read up on Vitamin C, it had been used successfully to treat polio, but unfortunately that information came to light the same year as the polio vaccine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-263526528245999640.post-48744656000473874942009-10-08T10:38:05.744-07:002009-10-08T10:38:05.744-07:00Many chiropractors are actually well versed in nutrition more than any typical doctor or nurse. <br /><br />They research nutrition and health seemingly more than doctors, at least the good chiropractors do.<br /><br />I would listen to them and doctors, and research<br /><br />It&#39;s a hot topic, but polio is rare because of vaccines, stopping them will bring it back.

My own family doctor did not vaccinate &quot;fully&quot;. For school entrance, kids need only a small portion of the vaccines offered to kids these days. To the original poster: I think you should know that there are LOTS of children born at home who are not even a bit calm (mine included). Full disclosure: my children are receiving vaccines on a delayed schedule and will have all of their school-required vaccines in time for Kindergarten.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-263526528245999640.post-74327741837569820972009-09-06T16:48:59.599-07:002009-09-06T16:48:59.599-07:00I wholeheartedly agree with the above anonymous, especially on the chiropractor note. (Then again, I may just be biased because my poor mother was injured by a chiropractor who couldn&#39;t recognize back disease...hmm.) <br /><br />Plus, the reason that there aren&#39;t cases of polio, etc. is because of vaccines. If people stop vaccinating, they take advantage of everyone else that does, to the detriment of those who can&#39;t get vaccines because of (legit) allergies to ingredients. <br /><br />Also, water is the &quot;treatment&quot; for Rotavirus because of dehydration -- it treats a symptom, not the illness. I&#39;d rather not get to that point, thankyouverymuch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-263526528245999640.post-42631676831946568552009-09-01T22:17:54.489-07:002009-09-01T22:17:54.489-07:00I realize you spent a lot of time agonizing over this, but I still don&#39;t understand why anyone would listen to what chiropractors have to say about immunology or pediatrics. Chiropractors are trained in manipulation of musculaskelator systems, not medicine. <br /><br />Also, you say the chiropractors didn&#39;t vaccinate their kids; did you ask the pediatricians if they did?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
