Some Parents are Homeschooling Their Kids to Avoid Vaccinations

A growing network of parents have decided to homeschool their children,in part because of their belief that mandated vaccinations for public andprivate school children are a dangerous overreach by state governments.

A group of about 200 parents around the state of Mississippi, for example,home school their kids because they have problems with the statesmandated vaccination schedule.

All states allow unvaccinated children to attend school with a medical doctorsexcuse. Mississippi and !est "irginia, however, allow no exemptions beyondmedical necessity, leaving parents with homeschooling as the only option ifthey do not want to have their children vaccinated.

Dr Mercola comments:

&ess than (0 years ago, *0 million students attended public schools, yet fewerthan +00,000 children were homeeducated. According to the -.#.epartment of /ducation, over *) million students enrolled in public schoolsin 200, while the number of children being homeschooled has beenestimated at 1ust over 2 million.he numbers of homeschooled children has increased at the rate of about 34a year, and more than +04 in some states, outpacing the growth of publicschools, which has been about +.(4.

5amilies homeschool for a wide range of reasons, but at the heart of thematter is what is best for each individual child. Avoiding vaccines is typicallynot the driving force behind this big decision. 6owever, more parents areclearly opposed to the 7mandatory7 vaccine laws and understand thatvaccinations are not the heavily promoted miracle cureall that will keep theirchildren from getting sick. 8nstead, they are seeing the truth$ that vaccinescarry the risk of serious side effects such as crippling neurological damagelike autism and even death.

5or example, unexplained allergies and asthma are also on the rise.According to the brand new State of World Allergy Report 2008: Allergy andChronic Respiratory Diseases, our 9eal to reduce infectious disease has ledto rapidly increasing allergic diseases that are becoming ever more complex.

%ould the increasing number of childhood vaccinations be part of theproblem:

As one studypublished in 200 by the American Academy of Allergy, Asthmaand Immunologyfound, unvaccinated children suffer lower rates of asthma

As the trends indicate, many parents are so concerned about the potentialdangers of overloading their children with this massive load of vaccines that

they resort to home schooling. 6owever, not all parents have the ability tomake that type of commitment.

5ortunately, if you are unable to home school, you still have other options.

As 8ve stated before, 8m not antivaccine, but rather provaccine safety. 8 alsobelieve it is extremely important to have the right to chooseC to be allowed tomake informed consent decisions about what you want to in1ect into yourchild, and yourself, and when.

r. onald Miller is a cardiac surgeon and =rofessor of #urgery at the

-niversity of !ashington in #eattle and a member of octors for isaster=reparedness. 6is more sensible vaccination schedule, which 8 publishedback in 200*, is worthy of being revisited at this time.

6is guidelines can help you devise a more appropriate vaccination plan foryour child D a schedule that takes the best interests of your child intoconsideration rather than what biased government planners cite as being bestfor society. 6is is a far better approach than the 7onesi9efitsall7 dogmafoisted on Americans by the %% panel.

Devising a Sensi+le Vaccination Plan or our Child

Eour brain has its own speciali9ed immune system, separate from that of therest of your body. !hen you are vaccinated, speciali9ed immune cells in yourbrain, the microglia, become activated.

Multiple vaccinations spaced close together overstimulate the microglia,causing them to release a variety of toxic elements cytokines, chemokines,excitotoxins, proteases, complement, free radicals that damage brain cellsand their synaptic connections. @he damage caused by these toxicsubstances is sometimes referred to as 7bystander in1ury.7

And that would be pretty much it as far as vaccinations. Eour pediatrician willnot like this schedule, but if you have reviewed the evidence and still feel yourchild should be inoculated to a certain degree, this is a far safer alternative tothe standard vaccination schedule.
