We don’t vaccinate our children. Yet, I’m not anti-vaccinations. I strongly feel that each parent is their child’s best expert and so it’s up to each parent to decide what is best for their child. However, I also believe that decisions should be informed decisions. Learn both the good and the bad and then decide. The majority of pediatricians will give you the “Why”, yet it’s really hard to get the “Why not”. And so quarterly we host a workshop by Dr. Pamela Middleton and Dr. Bill DeMoss called “Vaccinations from a Holistic Approach” also called called “Immunization: The truth behind the myth.” Both Dr. Middleton and Dr. DeMoss give a passionate, information-filled workshop on why not to vaccinate and alternatives to vaccinating. After this workshop, parents are then able to take all the information they’ve received from both sides and better make this important decision for their child and their family.
It’s a full house whenever we host this workshop. I believe information should be easy to get, so we offer it complimentary for parents.

Giselle, I think this is absolutely fabulous! Educating parents on the other side of vaccines is crucial to aiding them in making an informed decision about whether they choose to vaccinate their kids, or not. I believe too many parents just “do” because it’s what the doctor says is right, even if it isn’t.
After reading an article about how many vaccines were given when I was a kid (10 in 1980) and how many are given to kids now (38 – 2011,) I have rethought my vaccine decisions with the infant mortality rate being one of the worst among 1st world countries.
I wish I lived in so-Cal so I could attend one of these workshops!

In the Spring…hoping for April.
