I and many others have healthy children who have been vaccinated.  Measles, Mumps, Reubella, Polio - come on, you don't want this in your house.  And vaccines work by getting the population immune.  The key is more to the strong family, eating well enough, exercise, sun, fun...

However - the jury is still out on Gardisil.  If these stats are true it may be killing as many as cervical cancer - die now or die later.  I think I'll die later.

No Dr. G, I don't want any disease in my house.  But I definitely do not want to trade in the measles or mumps for cancer etc.. I am not too afraid of the measles nor the mumps.  I am confident my chldren would survive that and would then have lifetime immunity.  Have you ever seen Sherri Tempenney's video/DVD?  She recites a wonderful quote from 1937 "Can you inject a foreign object of any kind into a little baby and believe that in any way it will improve it's health?"  I DO NOT.  I do not allow my children to eat the crap that is in the shots!  How can I roll up their sleeves and allow someone to inject it into their blood?  I in good conscience can not.  The "key" as you state is absolutely eating well, exercising, sun, fun and happiness.  But that does NOT include injecting oneself with poisons.  Vaccinations have NEVER been proven safe and now the pharm companies are immune to ever getting a law suit against them when their shots kill and/or disable our kids!  You say your kids are healthy now, how do you know they won't end up with something down the road from these shots you made sure they received?  The key is to build up a strong immune system without poisons.  Then you may not even get sick to begin with or at the very least you will be able to overcome the disease.  I would much rather have a healthy immune system and recover from things naturally than be dependant on vaccinations the rest of my life.  Not to mention the law here last I checked stated that if you ever refuse a vaccination for your kids and later decide to vaccinate them with one, you lose all your rights to EVER refuse a vaccination for them again!  And what about all the vaccinations that have been contaminated with things such as the SV40 virus.  They find this virus in cancerous tumors!  I believe you're playing Russian Roulette when you roll up your sleeves for a shot.  They cannot be trusted! The pediatrician called her just the other day making sure my son wasn't on a recalled drug

It's precisely the boys part that transmits the virus that's been found in 95 plus percent of cervical cancers.  Also, noted is that oral cancers like squamous cell carcinoma are on the rise in non-smoking or drinking people.  Evidence is implicating the HPV.  It's a mutagenic virus, there are others to (esp. in the dog).  I have no interest in big pharma - but did grad work in biochem, and undergrad chem, finding my place as a Periodontist.  The controversy is good, but keep it real.  Virus transmission happens, and probably mostly by the male member and oral routes.

"Mercola, where even the ignorant are experts"

ever heard of being a CARRIER of a disease? try reading about something before you make a comment damning it, otherwise it just makes you look stupid.

BeyondOrganic, when I was little I first got the Measles. Then I got the Mumps and lost partial hearing in one ear as a result. Then I got Whooping Cough which was so bad that I coughed blood. I don't wish this on ANYONE! Then my parents got me vaccinated for Polio. Thank GOD!

Gardasil, no thanks for my daughters. One of them has Autism and I think its a mistake when they vaccinate with 3 viruses at once. They should only do one at a time. I believe that the 3-in 1 is dangerous and responsible for the Autism, not the Mercury. However, everything is based on CORPORATE and financial gain these days and Drug Companies are not working for our benefit as they would like us to believe. In Canada they are trying to pass Bill C-51 which would take a lot of Herbal Supplements of the shelves so that Drug Companies can benefit more....

I heard the Australian professor who invented this harmful vaccine on radio the other day try to explain away all the adverse reactions that are occuring here in Australia. He dismissed the adverse reactions by saying that the vaccine produced similar level of reactions to the placebo during the clinical trials. Only problem is that placebo contained the same toxic aluminum adjuvant as the vaccine rather than a saline solution. Also, the clinical trials showed that the toxic ingredients in Gardasil caused an increase in abnormal / pre-cancerous cells in the cervix. It doesn't take rocket science to intelligently translate that into an increased risk for cervical cancer.   Contradictory to Merck's add campaign of "one less", girls taking the vaccines are actually at an increased risk of being one more in the cervical cancer statistics.

How long are we as a society going to stay on the treadmill to nowhere before we wake up and realize that we are slowly being destroyed?

Population Reduction is a very real thing happeneing right now. As a registered nurse for 10 years I saw this especially in the mentally ill. Those psychiatric drugs are doing wonders for reducing the population of mentally ill youth! The plan is working!
