In the beginning - Vaccine Injury

Yes, I believe my son, Thing 2, was injured by vaccines.

I had a flu shot when I was preggo with him, I got so sick I thought I was just going to stop breathing and die. Then he was born shrieking. Didn't realize it could be a vaccine reaction. I kept vaccinating until he was two. At that point a child psychiatrist suggested we medicate and give him Ritalin. Now, I've known people with addiction problems with Ritalin and Adderall, and I didn't want to see him go through that, so that's where my journey looking into natural alternatives started.

I wound up in school for homeopathy. Thing 2 had gotten so bad he was headbanging, escaping the house (we had to put alarms on the windows and doors), he'd run if we were in public and get lost (this is why those dreams were so horrific to me, I know what its like to lose my kid), and the repetitive phrases, night terrors, inappropriate behaviors, the extreme meltdowns etc. I didn't know they were symptoms of autism, because he was so smart, and my mental picture of autism was not aligning with that.

Then when I learned more and started treating him, I realized that the remedies I was using were for vaccine injury. So I started looking at the package inserts and side effects, and it all became very clear to me. He was suffering, and all along I had been treating him like he was acting out, like he was a bad/high needs kid. 

I realized in the process that my older son, Thing 1, was suffering from chronic ear infections (which lead to ear tubes, and worse infections) and lung problems (asthma and chronic bronchitis), childhood arthritis, and even hearing voices because of toxic overload from vaccines. His last set of shots that I allowed included varicella, within a week he was missing school because he broke out in a rash. He had chicken pox. He healed quickly, and within a month he had it again. There were no reports of anyone else in his school having chicken pox.

I had MY last vaccine at the beginning of going to school for homeopathy, I was 25. The doctor thought it was a great idea for me to get the pneumonia vax. The next day I had a lump in my arm and couldn't even move it, the pain was so disproportionately huge. Turned out that vaccine had given me a blood clot, that could have killed me, just so I wouldn't get pneumonia. I was pissed. I was more pissed that she denied it could be from the shot, when the damn blood clot was right at the injection site. AND she refused to report it.  Of course, back then I had no clue that I could report it myself, and she didn't offer up that info.

It kind of all came together at once for me, the depth of this farce, because of all those factors. Those are the reasons I speak out so strongly against vaccines. I never got Thing 1 diagnosed.  I was so pissed off at doctors I didn't want the label, or their input anymore. Decided just to deal with it on our own. The only problem with that is he doesn't get any services, but I'm not sure they would help him anyway...and it has the added bonus of not having the diagnosis to haunt him in the future.

HOW TO TREAT THE FLU....NATURALLY

 

 

 

 

Over the past week I have been asked several times what the best home remedies are for the flu. Even some people that normally would run right to the ER or their GP for a solution have been asking me this, mostly because they DID go to the doctor who has simply told them to wait it out and take fever reducers, with some adding Tamiflu for a variation on that theme.

 

So, rather than repeatedly answering this question, I'll list my suggestions here for ease of use. I have quite a few suggestions, and you will find varying degrees of success with any of them or in combination, because each person responds a little bit differently....also, with lots of options, its easier to just grab and use whatever ingredients or resources you already have available at home, rather than dragging your feverish self (or worse, your delirious child) out to get supplies to comfort.

 

So, lets start at the beginning.

 

PREVENTION: Homeopathic Influenzinum can be used prophylactically. I have seen many different protocols, and each homeopath and ND seems to have their own preference.

This is what works for us. I give everyone (even the babies) in the house the same dosage and frequency. Starting in mid November or early December, we do 1 dry pellet once a week for 4 weeks, take one week off, and then a final dose in the 6th week. All in a 30c or 200c (whichever I have on hand) potency.

 

ONSET: You know, that moment when you first feel like something is not quite right?

If you have homeopathic remedies around you could reach for Ferrum Phosphoricum.

 

DURING: Many different options here. The most important two, that are NOT really optionally, available to everyone, and affordable is SLEEP AND WATER (Yes, most people can fight the flu just fine with only those two aids).

OTHER IDEAS: Echinacea, garlic (crushed and swallowed several times a day), the wet sock treatment, vitamin C, vitamin D3.

Onions can also help fight the flu in several different ways. The two most common are: covering the feet in oil adding sliced fresh onion and covering with socks, and putting a fresh sliced onion in a bowl beside the sick bed (or couch, if that's where you spend your sick time). Both of these are based on the idea that onions draw toxins out of the local environment and into themselves, so DO NOT EAT the onions after, they WILL be toxic.

There are also several other homeopathic remedies that may help more than the influenzinum or the Oscillococcinum (that you can find in almost any drug store). If you don't have your own repertory and meteria medica to research the correct matching remedy there is a great listing here that shows the differences in symptoms for several of the most common remedies used successfully for the flu. Do keep in mind that it is a limited list though, and not to discount remedies that aren't listed, such as arnica, chamomilia, and pulsatilla which can also be well indicated in the flu.


So if you happen to come down with the flu you now have the tools to fight it, naturally. If you have any remedies to add to this list, feel free to comment with what has worked for you, so we can share with others.
