Mercury is not the culprit, it is a fall guy to take attention away from the real culprits. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Vaccines, besides never having been shown to have any benefit, cause reactions in brain chemistry that then lead to damaging the brain. &amp;nbsp;The inflammation caused by excitotoxins can last for decades. &amp;nbsp;Proper nutition and supplements is required to reverse this.&lt;/p&gt;

From a mother's perspective, ANYTHING that can keep your child(ren) safe and healthy makes perfect sense...until it comes to vaccines. My daughter is approaching 6 mths and I'm more confused than ever. She has not received any vaccines yet and I haven't decided if she will at all. The same is true if I choose TO vaccinate or NOT to vaccinate. Either way I could be saving her life or quality of life or I could be exposing her to dangerous or deadly chemicals and diseases. My child is the most precious and important thing in the world to me. This decision will in some way affect her for the rest of her life. It is disturbing to know that so many parents, as well as health care professionals, don't realize that this is the single most important decision you will ever make for your child(ren). What are parents to do?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Secondly, If I choose NOT to vaccinate, what are my alternative options to keep my child safe and healthy???&lt;/p&gt;

I very seldom gets shots for my dogs, only when forced to, such as having to cross the border. I do get parvo shots for them as pups, but then nothing else if I can help it. I've never had a problem with my dogs health because of the lack of shots. Saves a fortune at the vets, and the Big Pharma loses money!&lt;/p&gt;

My husband has avoided doctors for years, and it turns out that he is right. How many times has your doctor given you a prescription for antibiotics for a virus? I've had many do this. I no longer accept them or I just don't fill them. I had a tumor removed from my back some years ago and while in the hospital (had to learn to walk again) they had me on all sorts of meds. When I was more mentally alert I asked what they were all for and after the explanation I said I didn't want any of them anymore. I got out of the hospital a couple of weeks later and they handed me some prescriptions. I went to the desk and asked what they were for. They were for all the drugs that I'd already stopped taking. I'd swear some doctors would give you a prescription for a hangnail. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have done lots of research and tried lots of vitamins and alternative therapies over the years. I'm a big believer in Dr. Mercola and I am always ready to learn about new (or old) ways to stay healthy. I don't believer vaccinations are good for you, especially if they have mercury in them. But how do you know for sure if they took them out. Who's word are you listening to???&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'm very near retirement and am on no meds and neither is my husband. I think we're doing well, thanks to Dr. Mercola and lots of research. Good luck to you all in your search for the truth!&lt;/p&gt;

Kennedy Article in Rolling Stone (not the edited shortened one on the web today) knows that the agencies responsible for 'protecting' the public have clearly stated in their &amp;quot;secret meeting&amp;quot; minutes in Norcross, GA, that they were going to work together with big Pharma to provide a disinformation campaign to remove any information that linked Vaccinations with Autism. &amp;nbsp;Further, the data they had was to be given to a private company so that freedom of information act requests could not be honored. &amp;nbsp;So what does that mean? &amp;nbsp;It means that anyone who read the article has been waiting for the disinformation to begin, and alas, it has.&lt;/p&gt;

I am convinced that these vaccines are in large part not needed in young children especially at birth befor leaving the hospital. Many are told they have to get them, when in fact they do not. Somebody needs to sell vaccines &amp;nbsp;and who would be more vulnerable than a new mother trying to provide the best for her child.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I recommend you enter Mycoplasma into your search engine and take some time to read up on it or you can go to the websites listed below:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.newspiritservices.com/mycoplasma.html"&gt;www.newspiritservices.com/mycoplasma.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For information on how to treat mycoplasma infections and about Project DayLilly you can go to:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;www.immed.org&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition, mycoplasmas have been engineered by our government to be more lethal by adding specific bacteria that can be used against certain races or ethnicities to be more toxic than to others. &amp;nbsp; If it were just the vaccines alone, we would have seen the aftermath a long time ago. &amp;nbsp;If you have a child with autism, chances are you got mycoplasma from a military friend or family member. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Your statement that only a &amp;quot;handful&amp;quot; of people suffered ill effects from vaccinations is clearly delusional and a slap in the face of the millions of parents whose kids have been maimed for life or killed by these witch brew concoctions from hell. Case in point is the WHO-instigated mass vaccination exercise in third world countries with the oral LIVE polio vaccine solely designed to cause polio outbreaks over and over again since the virus is shed in the *** and thus the environment. Such wonderful diabolical concept ($$$$ in the coffers of the Mengele clones). I strongly suggest that you do some research and you will find that vaccinations NEVER eradicated any diseases and none less than &amp;nbsp;Dr, James A. Shannon from the National Institute of Health, USA&amp;quot; said &amp;quot;the only wholly safe vaccine is a vaccine that is never used&amp;quot;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
