Should I get my child's immunizations if he could possibly have Lyme?

Hello, I am new to this site. I recently found out I have Lyme disease. I have been living with it for about 14 years without diagnose. I gave birth to a beautiful boy almost two years ago. So needless to say I had Lyme during my pregnancy, so he could possibly have it. He does show some symptoms, but my dr. doesn't want to test him since he seems pretty healthy and happy.  I am concerned about getting the rest of his immunizations, for I don't know if it will effect him negatively. I was just wondering if anyone has gone through the same thing, and had any suggestions? It is so scary and sad to think that he could go through the same horrible feelings I went through. Also should he be tested and treated if he were to have Lyme? I know you have a better chance of beating it if you catch it early, but at the same token can his own immunw system be fighting it off on it's own? Thanks for your help, and pray for the government to take chronic Lyme more serious one day!

I wouldn't get any immunizations if I were you. They have been proven to have harmful adjuncts in them and can very well make people much worse. I think there is an herb out there for anything a vaccine can do anyways.

In the end, the decision is up to you. With all the disinformation in the medical community these days, you have to research every decision thoroughly.

In my person opinion, absolutely NOT!!!!

I have an almost 6y.o. son. I didn't know I had Lyme until he was almost 3 y.o. I've had Lyme for over 10 years. He is symptom free as of now. But, he is either a carrier or will eventually develop symptoms.

One of the triggers that activated my symptoms was skin allergy testing. Within one month, I had full blown neuro symptoms. Any "insult" to the immune system can potentially trigger Lyme symptoms. Immunizations are an insult to the immune system.

After massive research on this topic, I decided to stop any further immunizations for my son. He had them up to 2 years. You can get an exception form to fill out when he need to go to school. I just went online to the state website and printed it out so I didn't have to deal with getting one from the school.

Good luck with your decision. BTW, if/when my son shows symptoms, I will get him tested (by IGeneX) and treated immediately!! Symptoms mean active infection that the immune system can't handle on its own anymore.

prayers for a swift recovery for us all,
Lisa

I would avoid the vaccinations personally, but this is a decision that only you can make after careful consideration of the pros & cons.

There are homeopathic nosodes that can be used like immunizations, but which do not contain the mercury and other toxic additives. Consult a skilled homeopathic physician for more info.

Read the vaccination effectiveness reports from the CDC. Even they question the true effectiveness.
This topic requires lots of research.

Ryken,

I agree with what's been said on this thread so far.  Vaccines contain mercury, and mercury is extremely neurotoxic.  Even the "mercury free" vaccines contain ethyl mercury.  If you want to see how a neuron reacts to mercury, see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtFsy0rQsak from the Univ. of Calgary.

Also read books by Russell Blaylock, and do lots of research on vaccines.  Also take note of this: numbers of cases of MS, and ALS spiked in 1976 when the high copper amalgam filling was introduced.  In toxicology, mercury plus another metal increases the toxicity of that other metal astronomically.  In the early 1990s, the hepa*** B vaccine was introduced.  Children and all healthcare workers were required to get it.  Again, ALS, MS, and Autism spiked. 

I recently attended an Autism conference, and I came away with the impression that Autism is directly caused by neurotoxic damage that occurs while the brain is still in its critical stages of development.  Common sources of this damage include mercury and pesticides (sprayed on farm fields).  Some believe that children born with severe Lyme may also develop Autism (Lyme produces neurotoxins).  The first cases of Autism all occurred in children whose parents had occupations where mercury was involved.

Ultimately, you will need to make this decision for yourself.  I don't have children (I have students), but if I did, I would not feel comfortable vaccinating them.

Lymester,

Have you done a mercury detox?  That should improve your symptoms from the vaccination.  Getting the mercury out will also help with your gut.

Thank you for all your responses, you guys have reinforced everything I was feeling in my gut...do not get the rest of his vaccinations! I know the dr. is going to give me a hard time but I don't care. I have a feeling he has Lyme, and the last thing I want to do is compromse his immune system more. I can't thank you all enough for the information and well needed back up. I love this site.

Thimerosal has not been used in most vaccines for many years. Vaccines do work. I have both a smallpox scar and a friend with post-polio syndrome to prove it. This is a list of vaccines and their Thimerosal content - or not: https://www.fda.gov/BiologicsBloodVaccines/SafetyAvailability/VaccineSafety/UCM096228

That being said, vaccines should be spaced out with sufficient time between to allow the body to adjust. The bigger problem today is that too many vaccines are combined into a single injection. Whether it is to make it easier for the dr or because of "needle trauma" of the child, IDK. Most vaccines are designed to activate the immune system....which in this case may already be under assault. Whether you have the test done - which may be as worthless as most are - work on building up the immune system regardless.

Good post OldSalty.

This is just my opinion, and I'm sure it's going to upset some people...

But I hate when Lyme Disease, which has a solid scientific basis, gets mixed up with the absolute joke, and in fact dangerous movement that is the anti-vax movement.

Get your children vaccinated! We spent the last 100 years relentlessly eradicating terrible diseases. Ask your great-grandparents what it was like growing up and watching their friends die of smallpox or tb.

MS - so there a TB vaccine?

Personally, I'm not against all vaccinations...but I will not get a flu vaccine .
I rarely get the flu...
For our son, we weighed the risks of the vaccine with the disease..and made the decision.
For a couple of them, we just waited until he was older.

I just read a sad story of a woman who recently got the flu vaccine and instead of her immune system attacking the virus, it attacked her nervous system instead. She is now paralyzed from the neck down. I don't know what the prognosis is, but there was a GoFundMe page set up for her - as her husband can't work - he has to take care of her, including feed her.

My mom was a polio survivor...


What's interesting is once we are adults ... there is no schedule for vaccinations..other than tetanus..every ten years..
And I remember asking the health nurse when my son was getting his polio vaccine...about my husband and I..and she said no, adults don't get it unless there is an outbreak.
Isn't that too late????
