		<description>I respect those who prefer to have a natural approach to sickness and health.

But please do not bring your child to the doctor or hospital when he or she is sick.  Just do your best to heal your children at home.</description>

		<description>@Regan, 

&quot;it’s paradoxical that many who decline or delay vaccinations for their children are in most respects community-minded, carefully choosing their diet, purchases and elected officials based on a concern for society&quot;------thanks for pointing this out. I guess antivaccinationists might counter that they are going one better than most (who only think of herd immunity) as they call for &quot;safer vaccines&quot; etc.</description>

		<description>Maybe Ms. Margulis will have the opportunity to test her immunity theories sooner than later...

&lt;i&gt;&quot;Vaccine skeptics have plenty of company in Ashland [Oregon].
There, doubts about the necessity and safety of immunizations are as much a part of the community as its embrace of naturopathic medicine, environmental ethos and counterculture roots.
The university town, and smaller enclaves of Jackson and Josephine counties, are among pockets in Oregon where parents increasingly seek waivers from some or all of the vaccinations required for schoolchildren
(...)
Jim Shames, health officer for Jackson and Josephine counties, says it&#039;s paradoxical that many who decline or delay vaccinations for their children are in most respects community-minded, carefully choosing their diet, purchases and elected officials based on a concern for society.
These are people, Shames says, who may, for example, &quot;want a small carbon footprint. It seems as though they see (not vaccinating) as in keeping with the rest of their lifestyle. There&#039;s a humanitarian aspect to immunization that they&#039;re missing.&quot;
But Hilary Andrews, a naturopathic physician in Oregon City, says the small number of her patients concerned that vaccines might lead to autism, autoimmune diseases or allergies tend to see avoiding immunizations as altruistic.
&lt;b&gt;They say &quot;they&#039;re not contributing to a public health epidemic of autism,&quot; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.oregonlive.com/kiddo/index.ssf/2008/08/post_2.html&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Oregon&#039;s low vaccination rate causes health concerns&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
