What have any of us done but get up every morning and do the best we can. We all have similar struggles and challenges as well as those that are very different. It is arrogant to ask someone what they have done implying that it is not enough. I know some days I get more done than others and years are the same way. We should not compare what we are doing and say I am doing more you less but realize that we all do what we can when we can and that is always enough.

@Thorton,

I am not sure there is anything truly new on this topic! So far I seem to manage not to have posted on it today. Best wishes—-

I think this is quite an educational site in itself, though I realize the need is for education for our decedents.

What I have gotten from the current round of arguments about this case, regardless of Spin factors is:

It appears unwise to administer as many vaccinations as possible in one sitting, regardless of who you are.
———————————————–

And while I hate the mans general lack of true logic, at least Geier got people (some govt agency) to address their lack of review about some of the potential dangers of adding dose after dose after dose and not paying attention to a cumulative ‘load’.

Now if they can get their head out (yes I’m inferring its there!) and quit having doctors expose folks to multiple threats in the same sitting I might feel we are making progress, regardless of what side of the syringe fence you sit upon.

Finally, if they can figure out what teratogens are still lurking about (PCBs anyone? DDT in Yosemite fish anyone?) that May be helping to induce the non-heritable forms of the condition then some of us folks that might not have been vaxed into this condition might get some relief. (Or at least some help, cuz I’m not just as dumb as I appear to be willfully, I could very well be this way due to heritable or non-heritable causes.)

Keep an open mind all of the philosophical people that visit this site.Facts are not always facts! I just listen take it in and seach for answers.I belong to a support group. Most of the children DID have a problem after vaccines. I will let you all know if the(DAN) protocol has worked in a few years.So far very good.I am not extreme about it just slow and steady.We do GFCF diet ,creams ,vitamins and baths.I know I am annoying for some of you.But one thing is true Kristina Chew has done a great job here! Wish you all well with your children. Dont ever give up on the healing of your children.Prayers and an open mind, happiness do wonders.I was not from a very wealth family but we had love and lots of prayers.This pulls you through tough spots. Thanks Kristina your story about your son was very special! You touched many lives here. Keep up all the geat work.

I do not mean to force my wants onto someone else’s web site. I certainly am not saying Dr. Chew isn’t doing enough, or that she is doing the wrong thing. I only meant to express that I am tired of hearing the same old arguments on the vaccine debate. Not that it is not important, I just keep hearing the same thing over and over from both sides. I haven’t heard anything truly new on the topic for a while.

Emily,

Dubious rhetoric aside, if not for John Gilmore’s recent visit here, I might never have learned the correct pronunciation of “tu quoque.”

Ms. Chew and Ms. Clark educated this mother more than – what is it called – ACHAMP? Never heard of it till today so I guess I will take a look at it. Thanks for the continuing education program Kristina ;0
The views that they have expressed helped me immensely when my teen was dx’d and helped turn a very dark time towards a more positive light.
May I also say that some of your readers are sooooo smart that I feel like a pygmy among giants. Thanks all!
