The Pure Baby - What Does That Mean? (PART TWO)

OUR SECOND BABY (pictured at left)

By the time of our second baby’s birth, I had finally educated myself somewhat regarding vaccinations.  I decided that he would not receive the Hepatitis B vaccination, at all.  We had a new pediatrician, and she agreed that the Hepatitis B vaccination was completely not necessary.  Additionally, our pediatrician agreed that our new baby would receive no more than one vaccination per month.  While she was very pro-vaccination, she was also very understanding of mommy concerns and was quite respectful of my choices.  I am so thankful for her!

 In the months following the birth of our second baby, I continued to explore the positives and negatives of vaccination.  Through this additional learning and through religious counsel, I realized that vaccination violated my religious beliefs.  This is the reason that, for our children, we hold religious exemptions to vaccination.  As I believe that God created my children, I must also believe that God created them with healthy immune systems that are designed to keep them healthy.  I believe that vaccination damages the immune systems that God has given to my children.  I have sadly seen this happen with our first child.  Therefore, we no longer allow our children to have their God-created bodies damaged by vaccines.

Our second baby continuously thrived!  He never contracted a childhood disease, with the exception of chicken pox.  (And is that really a disease?  I think not!)  He had no “behaviors”.  He was very happy and very social (which is also who he is today!).  He did have a slight language delay, and testing did show a bit of mercury toxicity (most likely from his vaccinations).  Amazingly, a few weeks of doctor-ordered chelation at age three years ended his language delay, bringing forth the chattering little boy we have today!
