Immunization Information

Have you ever taken a look at what is in the immunizations we give our children? It takes a lot of work to investigate each one, so many parents choose just to trust their doctors. I found this today and thought it was very well laid out.

Just a bit of background on a few of the vaccines....
formaldehyde...remember dissecting in highschool? Remember the horrible stinky liquid that animal was in to 'preserve' it? That is being injested into our children!!!! (And to think that the smell of it made many of us gag or throw up!)

Phenol, also known under an older name of carbolic acid, is a toxic, colourless crystalline solid with a sweet tarry odor (From Wikipedia). Phenol is a byproduct of distilling tar.

human diploid cells from aborted fetal tissue....anywhere you see human diploid, this is what it is.

guinea pig embryo cells, think of that the next time you hold little fluffy.

Whiplash

When I was 17, I was involved in a car accident. I was in my best friends car riding in the front passenger seat. It was at night, and it had been raining all day. We were stopped at a red light waiting for it to turn green when we were hit from behind at about 30 mph. Luckily I was wearing a seatbelt, but came within an inch of almost hitting the windshield. Luckily, no injuries...so I had thought.

The next morning, I remember not being able to move out of bed. I called out to my mom in tears because I thought I was paralyzed ( so it had seemed ). She helped me out of bed, but I couldn't move my neck.

My dad suggested my mom to take me to a chiropractor. No ER, no medical doctor...just straight to a chiropractor. Back in 1987, chiropractors were just becoming noticed, or maybe that is when the first time I have ever heard of one.

I didn't know what to expect. I had no idea what I was about to experience.

The first thing they did was take a whole body x-ray. It was kind of neat to see a full length shot of my entire anatomy. I do remember the first thing the doctor asked me. He had asked me if I wore heels. At first it took me by surprise because I kept thinking, I am here because I cannot move my neck and he's interested in my shoes!?!? He was right. I wore heels or as I used to call them..."pumps" almost everyday with my jeans ( we are talking about the 80's...what girl didn't). He continued to say that he could tell by the way my pelvis tilted back. Interesting, I thought. But what about my neck???

After my examination, I overhear him explaning to my mom as to what happened to my neck. Apparently, the force of the crash extended my neck forward, and when it bounced back, 2 of the vertabraes in my neck, basically "crunched" into each other. So, what he needed to do was "uncrunch" them. I definately wasn't prepared for my first "adjustment" but let me say, when I left there, I was able to move my neck. It was VERY tender and sore and had to wear a neck brace for 2 weeks, but let me tell you...it was a moment I will never forget.

I went to him 3 times a week for a month and fully recovered. He said I may later in my adult life have problems with my back because of this injury. I am happy to say that I am very lucky that has NOT happened yet. BUT, if it ever does, I will know who to go to.
