toddler travel vaccinations image
neecey
Hi i have an 18 month toddler and im scared he might have chicken pox. He got his chicken pox vaccine 2 days ago but when he woke up this morning he has red bumps on his torso legs and arms but none on the face or scalp. Also about a week ago he was ill to his stomach.He also has a fever of 101 underarm (idk if its from the vaccine) so does this sound like chicken pox or more like a reaction to something else? please help thanks
Answer
Vaccines are VERY dangers and do NOT guarantee immunity. I have read many stories of children contracting the very disease they had just been vaccinated for. Vaccines contain the "weakened virus" and if your child can't fight it off they can actually get the disease. Vaccine inserts also list death and neurological disorders as possible side-effects. Just ask to see the insert the next time you bring your son in for a check-up.
The normal route of entry of chickenpox into a child's body is through the mouth and nose-- usually inhaling particles that an infected person has coughed. This means that the virus will come in contact with the mucous membranes and trigger the beginnings of an immune response. After this initial "alert" of the immune system, the virus travels to the lymphatic system, where additional body defenses are mustered. Finally, after the body has had adequate time to gear up, the virus gains access to the blood stream and major organs. But by this time, the immune system is mounting a full response (thanks to its being alerted early by the mucous membranes and lymphatic system) and will usually protect the major organs from damage from this virus.
Now compare this scenario to what happens when one's first exposure to the virus is from a vaccine: The mucous membranes are bypassed. The lymphatic system is bypassed. The live virus gains immediate access to the bloodstream and major organs -- a situation that millions of years of evolutionary wisdom seems to have tried to avoid!
No one really knows what the long term ramifications of exposure to this virus in this unorthodox way are. Since it is so new, there is no long term data available. In fact there is no data to even suggest that after ten years, immunity from this vaccine is sufficient to prevent the disease -- possibly leaving people vulnerable to getting chickenpox as adults when the risks of this illness are much greater!
Until someone can come up with data to adequately dispel all of my concerns I'd rather bet my family's health, and the health of our species on the wisdom of millions of years of evolutionary history rather then humankind's usually naive and misguided manipulations of nature. Unfortunately, the use of live vaccines by some, creates risk for us all -- I call it exposure to second-hand vaccination -- but at least second-hand vaccination doesn't bypass the normal engagement of our immune system.

Here are a bunch of stories by parents of children either killed or damaged by vaccines:

Educate before you vaccinate your child's life and overall health depends on it!!!!

should we get a cat dog or rabbit first as our new pet and why?

Answer
What you should get depends on a lot of factors. How often will you be home? Does a lot of fur (shedding) bother you? Do you want to clean a litter box, a cage tray, or piles of feces with a plastic baggy? Do you have enough money to cover regular vaccinations and maintanence care? What do you want out of a pet?
Dogs are very loyal companions but require training. Training requires TIME and MONEY. Dogs also require regular vaccinations and medical maintanence (licensing and so on)---this can add up. Dogs require constant supervision, daily excercise consisting of a long walk or plenty of play time in the backyard. Dogs need continuous social interaction---they are VERY dependent---but they can and will go with you anywhere you want, and will be happy to do so. Dogs are the equivalent to having a toddler for 15+ years. Dogs dig, bark, bite, scratch, whine, get in the trash, pull on the leash, jump on people, steal food, shed, and so on. Are you ready for that kind of commitment and responsibility (financially and emotionally)?
Cats are independent but affectionate. They too need regular vaccinations and medical maintanence, which can be expensive. They can be kept entirely indoors (which is recommended--don't listen to people who tell you to let your cat outside---it can be ran over, killed by dogs, ect.). Cats are very content when kept indoors---they don't need a lot of space and are excercise is easy with just a few toys and your participation. Downside? Cats can claw, bite, meow, shed profusely, be unaffectionate, jump on things they're not supposed to, and be over affectionate to the point where they are a nuisance. Most don't travel well either---so you can't take them anywhere. They require a litterbox (which, if you live in an apartment, stink up the ENTIRE place) that requires daily scoopings and thorough cleanings at LEAST once a week. Are you ready for all of that?
Rabbits..well, rabbits certainly aren't for everyone. Rabbits don't need regular vaccinations...just a yearly check-up. Unfortunately, rabbits are also considered 'exotics' so any medical treatment you may need will probably be far more expensive than it would be for a cat or dog (neutering and spaying, especially). Rabbits can be kept indoors just like any dog or cat. Instead of having free-roam of the house, they get a cage (one of sufficient size, of course). This means you can put them away when you don't want to supervise anymore. You can litterbox train a rabbit, as well as harness train them (to take them on walks). They can be very affectionate and will gladly sit on your lap while you watch TV. They can play with toys as well, and be taught to respond to their name. The downside? Rabbits can be very unaffectionate too. Most dislike being picked up. A rabbit needs a large cage and daily 'out-of-the-cage' time for excercise. Rabbits shed, and can be messy UNLESS you house them in a cage with a wire bottom floor---in which case cleaning is much easier. A rabbits' cage smells about as bad as a cats' litterbox---with regular cleaning it should smell less, given that cat urine is far more potent than a rabbits'---male rabbits especially can smell if they're unneutered though---but that applies to ANY unaltered animal... unaltered animals just smell more. The cost of owning a rabbit, otherwise, is far less than that of a dog or cat, and they offer about the same companionship as a cat.
So keep all that in mind when making your decision. Perhaps you should consider a rat? A well-bred rat (from a reputable breeder) is very affectionate, clean, trainable (litterbox trained too), and entertaining. They're very cheap to obtain and care for compared to the other 3 types of animals you've mentioned. Just a suggestion to look into.
Hope that helps!
