However my mind began to change based on an experience I had when in college. I suffered terrible health problems which doctors told me was “in my head”. I later realized that my health problems originated from medication that a doctor had me on for 6 years. You may be thinking that vaccinations are not taken on a daily basis for 6 years, like my medication was. I agree. But the ingredients in my medication were not as toxic, nor cancer-causing as some of the ingredients in a vaccination.
Up until my college years I thought doctors always had all the answers {which I highly respect their expertise for emergencies!}. I was so baffled to hear them telling me I was completely healthy and my health problems were my imagination. I knew how I felt and I knew it was not normal. This was a time in my life that God led me to a natural chiropractor who helped me balance my nutrient-deprived body with herbs and tinctures that made me feel like a new person! This was a good lesson learned for me: what we put in our bodies does have a direct affect on our health.
About a year after my health improved, I had my first child. I took her to her regular check-ups and had her get all the recommended vaccinations up to a year old. It did not cross my mind to check what was in the vaccinations. It was unthinkable to me at this time to not vaccinate my child.
It wasn’t until my second daughter was born that I started questioning if vaccinations were best for my children. I was so uncertain about it and was becoming aware of the controversy, but gave into the vaccinations because I felt pressured at the doctor’s office. {I will say that once I made a determined decision not to vaccinate, my doctor and his staff were very kind about it.}
Do you believe eating fast food affects your health differently than eating whole foods? Do you believe taking prescription medication affects the body differently than herbal remedies? Do you see any difference in spraying your house with a chemical cleaner or cleaning with a disinfectant powered by natural thyme?
My whole point is this: what you believe about how food, cleaning products, medication, etc. affects your body will determine how you view the vaccination ingredient list I’m about to share.
No one can deny that the toxins in the vaccines have the possible side effects that I’m listing below. These side effects are facts. Where the controversy comes in with the toxins in vaccinations is, are these ingredients safe to inject into the system even in small amounts and at low levels? Does the risk of disease impose a greater threat than the risk of injecting these chemicals into the body? Especially into infants and small children with under-developed immune systems?
If you look at some of these chemicals individually, they are labelled as hazardous, toxic, and cancer-causing. Can we possibly think that these ingredients are safe just because they are packaged in a vaccination shot?
The medical community says that there is no evidence that these ingredients are harmful in small amounts.
I say that these ingredients are very toxic and can change your health forever.
But this is a question you must decide for yourself.
In this post, I’m only covering four of the ten vaccinations recommended by the Center for Disease Control from the 2013 Immunization schedule. In part 2 of “Are Vaccinations Safe?”, I plan to cover the other 6 vaccinations recommended for children. I’m doing it this way because the list is too long to put in one post.

thanks for posting. glad to be informed!
Thanks for reading, Ariel!
The problem is that you have not informed your readers; you have misled them because you didn’t include a vital piece of information: “the dose makes the poison”.
What does that mean? It means that any substance whatsoever is poisonous if you consume enough of it (even water can kill you if you drink enough of it – Google “water intoxication”), and it means that even the most poisonous substance is perfectly safe if the dose is small enough (Google “Botulinum toxin” and “Botox”).
Let’s look at just one of those “poisonous” materials in vaccines, formaldehyde. It’s both poisonous and carcinogenic in large doses – 30ml (1 ounce) can cause death. Much smaller amounts can cause illness and cancer if you are exposed to them constantly over a long period of time.
But the tiny amounts in vaccines are so much smaller than these dangerous amounts that they present no risk whatsoever, because “the dose makes the poison”. The largest amount of formaldehyde in any vaccine is 100 millionths of a gram. Most have far less than that: for example the HepA vaccine VAQTA contains less than 1 millionth of a gram.
In order to reach a dose of formaldehyde from vaccines that could cause any harm to a child you would need to have tens of thousands of injections all at the same time – and you would have to do it every single day.
The dose of formaldehyde in a vaccine is more than 100 times smaller than that found in a single pear. You breathe in a larger dose of formaldehyde every day, simply because formaldehyde is present in many household furnishings and building materials. Your body produces its own formaldehyde naturally every second of every day, and the amount circulating in an infant’s body is so much larger than is in the vaccine that it is impossible to detect an increase in formaldehyde blood concentration when a vaccine is administered.
Formaldehyde in vaccines is simply no danger; nor are any of the other materials in them, because “the dose makes the poison”. BTW: the average person consumes around 100 milligrams of Polysorbate 80 everyday; it’s used as a food additive, especially in icecream.
I agree that we do come in contact with poisons every day and I am always trying to eliminate what I can from my children’s lives. Yes water can kill you if you binge on it, but water is a safe substance to begin with. I do not agree that these smaller amounts of toxins are safe to directly inject into the bloodstream. I don’t believe the dose makes the poison with substances that are marked as carcinogenic and hazardous. If a child were to touch one of these in a container it would cause serious alarm and a call to the poison control center. Just because it is in a vaccination and given in small amounts does not make it safe. These vaccinations do not only contain formaldehyde and polysorbate – they contain many other harmful substances. Vaccinations have never been proven to be safe and truly effective. You do have the right to your opinion and I appreciate you reading!
Since you don’t even know that vaccines are not administered into the bloodstream, WHY should anyone believe any of your nonsense?
If you don’t have the scientific acumen to understand that the pharmacokinetics of an intramuscular injection is different that an intravenous injection, WHAT business do you have commenting on the topic at all?
And then to LIE outright about the thousands upon thousands of safety studies of vaccines?
What kind of cognitive dissonance has to happen in your mind to think these are Christian qualities?
I stand corrected, Mrs. N! You are correct about vaccines not being directly injected into the bloodstream. I was careful not to state it that way in my article, but it did slip when I commented above. However, substances do enter the bloodstream after an intramuscular injection. There is nothing in my article that I have lied about. I certainly would have nothing to gain by lying about vaccinations or safety studies. I would be all for vaccinations that were proven safe and effective against the deadly diseases, and I hope they are created soon. Science on vaccine safety is not adequate. There are not any controlled randomized studies that compare the short and long-term health outcome of the vaccinated.
My mom was one of 7 children. Her mother didn’t vaccinate any of her children. She said she wouldn’t put that poison into her child’s body…that was over 70 years ago and she just used common sense! We didn’t vaccinate any of our children when we learned disease cleared up with sanitation and a strong immune system is the most important thing. It pains me to hear of all the vaccination children are receiving today…
I agree, Lori! Sanitation and a strong immune system is the best defense!
Great research, and good job on this! It is really shocking to see all the toxic ingredients…. I had a vaccination shot for yellow fever once before going on a missions trip into the jungle. It makes me wonder what all was in it, and how it was cultured, etc. It is amazing that we somehow imagine the body of a small baby can handle even small doses of such things…. We can become convinced about other ‘simple things’ in our diets, like unhealthy generic flour and sugar and salt, but totally miss something so dangerous like this, just accepting it from time to time in our lives without questioning whats in it….
I would be interested in knowing which vaccination you received too!
My son recently had his 18 month check-up and I declined vaccinations. The pediatrician told me they were very pro-vaccine and will push it on their patients. I’ll be looking for a new pediatrician soon! Thank you for the information.
It may be hard to find a pediatrician that doesn’t strongly advise vaccinations, but you should be able to find one that respects and is kind about your decision. My pediatrician was awesome and made me feel like a great mom even though we disagreed on the vaccine issue. He respected my decision. {He passed away recently and will be greatly missed. 🙁 } My sister had a pediatrician that belittled her for her decision. There are many out there that are kind about it, though. I hope you find one you are comfortable with. Thanks for commenting, Kelly. 🙂
Thank you, Jill, for all your research! I can’t believe how many toxic things are in one vaccine. Then, they give a child/ infant two different vaccines at the same time in most cases! We’ve declined vaccines for our children and have not (yet) had an issue with the doctor. I did ask once if they would allow separate vaccinations, instead of the combination ones, but she said their office didn’t have single vaccines. She did tell me that another dr. in the practice, but some distance from there, did do single vaccines/ alternate schedules so she knew that there were other options out there. The reason she gave for not having single vaccines was that most parents want to get the vaccinations over with as quickly as possible and not make more trips to the dr. office. I thought it was terrible that parents would rather have their children get two or more combination vaccines at once than make an extra trip to the dr. every couple months or so.
Anyway, looking at some of those side effects is scary. I know it’s a touchy subject, but will you be looking at any correlation between vac. and SIDS? I wasn’t thinking about it until I read some of the side effects like coma, seizures, fever (which is more dangerous for infants), etc. I’m sure there are a lot of other factors when looking at SIDS like toxic chemicals in crib mattresses, for example.
Looking forward to part 2. =)
I do plan to touch on SIDS, autism, diabetes, auto-immune, and long-term health in the future. I do agree that if a person chooses to vaccinate, the single doses are safer. Thanks for reading and commenting, Sarah!
Than kyou for sharing this information
Thanks for reading!
Thank you for all the information, Jill! My story is very similar to yours: Our oldest daughter was vaxed up until one year of age (how I regret it!), and it wasn’t until our second daughter was born that I backed off vaccines and really began researching. I’m SO glad I did, because none of our three sons have been vaxed.
I know this series is providing much-needed information and confidence to many mothers. Thank you for writing it!
We do have similar stories, Kristy. Thanks for reading! 🙂
Wonderful, tactful, non-guilt-tripping post sharing factual information! Thank you! I’ll be sharing!

Thanks so much for sharing, Jennifer!
Thank you for writing about this I wish I would have known when I had my first child he now has autism and had a seizure after his mmr vax and could not speak until age 3. I am very worried about the growing threat to our rights to refuse vaccination for our children.
I agree that there is a threat to our parental rights. I have a post planned about what to do if the government forces vaccinations. I also hope to write about autism in the future and some ways to help better or remedy the situation. Thanks for reading!
Be prepared to have your children reject your beliefs. Because you are uninterested in seeking truth with the physical world (as you credulously accept any/all argument that is counter-cultural and makes you feel smarter despite a severe lack of scientific acumen), expect them to question whether the things you tell them about the metaphysical world are untrue, as well.
I don’t accept all argument that is counter-cultural in the least. I could list many counterculture beliefs that I reject. The principles that I live by are not according to whether it’s the same flow as the mainstream, but what I believe as truth and what is best for my family. As far as my children go, when they are grown, their life is their own. If they feel and choose that it is best to vaccinate their children, then that’s fine. It is none of my business what my children choose when they are grown. Hopefully there will be safer vaccinations for my grandchildren, but either way I hope I’m teaching my children to research all things for themselves.
I think one important point on this subject is how the immune system functions. We have a primary immune system that kicks in when we are exposed naturally to a pathogen, such as through the nasal or oral passages, or through a wound on the skin. The majority of the immune system resides in the gut, and most pathogens are handled by the primary immune system before ever reaching the bloodstream. If a pathogen makes it through all of these primary defenses and into the bloodstream, then the secondary immune system kicks in.
When we inject these highly toxic chemicals directly into the bloodstream, we have a major problem. We have completely bypassed the body’s primary immune system, and the secondary immune system is over-activated. When an infant, baby or child is vaccinated according the recommended CDC schedule, this happens over and over and over again, month after month for years. Very scary! Jen
I agree it’s very scary! You hit it RIGHT ON about the immune system! Thanks, Jen!
I had planned on at least delaying vaccines for my twin boys. When I went for our 2 month check-up I had no plans to get any of the “recommended” vaccines (refused the HepB in the hospital also). The doctor convinced us to do just the Hib. BOTH of our boys were fine until that night and then both developed a rash and had bloody stool (that did go away the next day). I told the doctor at our next visit and he refused to acknowledge that they could be connected. I have no doubt they are and have refused anything further for them.
No one knows their child’s health like their mother!
I appreciate all your hard work on the research for this and all of your post! I , like you, as a young mother, followed the crowd with our first child. Our daughter came along and at 5 months suddenly had food allergies. Dairy, Egg and Nuts. Very, very sensitive, reactions to touch and smell!! Needless to say, this turned our world upside down. I have always wondered if the vaccines played a part in it. I refused all others, I was not treated badly at our Drs office, but they made it clear I was not making the best choice, in their opinion. Do you know of any links between the 2?? I would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks! And keep up the good work!
Yes I believe vaccinations can cause food allergies for sure!
Thank you so much for posting! I have a question , how can we help our I mmune system become stronger? Is there certain foods we should ingest? Vitamins? Certain type of water? I do vitamin d3 5000 IU GARDEN LIFE AND was wondering how else I can upbring my newborn child’s immune system since I have chose not to vaccinate! Thanks! 🙂 Gods bless!
A healthy diet is a great place to start in helping the immune system. Make sure you eat more alkaline foods than acidic foods {like raw fruits and vegetables more than sugar and processed foods}. Here are some foods and herbs that are great to consume for a good immune system: raw apple cider vinegar, probiotics, kefir, kombucha, astragalus root, turmeric, elderberries, coconut oil, blueberries, garlic, herbal teas.
I like to buy my herbal mixes from the Bulk Herb Store {http://bit.ly/1mHJhd7} because they have the best combinations and prices I’ve found. If you are looking for supplements as well, I really like Beeyoutiful’s quality and prices {http://bit.ly/1fTu85Y} They have products that are great for the immune system. If you click on “health products” and then “immune system”, they have a list to look through. Hope I’ve said something that helps! Thanks for the question!
