I'm a mom that chooses the natural path. I delivered Monkey naturally and plan to do the same with this next baby as well. My husband and I both agreed that we would not vaccinate Monkey when he was born and the next baby too. Once he was born and he was having some health problems we felt even more strongly about it. At least to wait until after we figured out what was going on.
Well Monkey is going to be 3 in March and we still have a vaccine free kid with no immediate plans to change it. It works for us and Monkey seems to be doing just find without them. Who knows what the future holds but we are happy with where we are.
Well now Monkey is sick. Just a normal cold with a cough and fever. I hate watching him suffer but at the same time I know that choosing natural ways may take longer but I feel that in the long run it will be better for him.
So we are using a homeopathic flu medicine, a homeopathic cold medicine that is helping his cough and runny nose and then a few other things that my aunt suggested that will help. I went to the store and bought apples and carrots and juiced them. This is suppose to be good for everyone and help keep our immune systems up which is good with a household that has lower immune systems for one thing or another. Also then we are using peppermint oil (or lemon oil) to put on his feet and down his back. Also something else that we are doing is garlic and light olive oil. You are suppose to let the garlic soak in the olive oil for two weeks and then give them about a teaspoon every couple of hours. Since we can't wait two weeks we are just using it now and will keep it around the house for the future. This also is suppose to make a great dip for veggies or dressing for salad. I'm excited to try these new things and see how well they work.
Now so you understand why I trust my aunt so much with her advice. First she has 7 kids and has had lots of experience using these techniques. Also she has done research for ways to heal naturally. She also has lots of contacts that have many years experience and training in this area. Another reason is that she is homeschooling all of her kids and they have studied this stuff for school as well. And last because I have used many other things she has suggested and they work great! Better than medicines that I have had from the doctor so I trust them!
I believe that everyone has the right to do what they want to do. People can choose what they feel is right for their family. I know that many people don't get me for my choices but it works for my family and that is what matters to me.
