I have a dilemma

Hello,
Elder son enlisted the help of his brother, who lives close to me, to try to convince me to get the immunization.
This is my 30 yr old who was born prematurely and that I was told by Dr.s when he was 6 months old would be blind and severely retarded.
I did not accept that diagnosis and that started me on my journey of exploration into alternative therapies and energy work.
He spent a cumulative 3 years in hospitals by the time he was 5 and the navy docs tried to remove him from my custody because of my insistence on using alternatives to their allopathic approach.
They told me that these things might be benign in healthy children but for him they could be dangerous. One ped even told me at one point that it would have probably been easier for me if he had died.
That was a shock I will never forget.
Long story short, I persisted with my ways and he is now a wonderful, engaging, intelligent adult who is a manager at a local health food market.
He told me yesterday "just get the damn shot Mom" I told him I will not do this.
He inquired as to why and I told him of my research. I offered to send him articles and he is willing to do his own research.
I also told him to ask some of his friends at work for their take on the issue.
I sent him this excellent article this am
http://healthimpactnews.com/2014/government-pays-damages-to-vaccine-victims-flu-shot-most-dangerous-with-gbs-and-death-settlements/
and offered to send more if he would like.
I also told him he can share this with his brother if he wants because I don't want to be too pushy on this issue.
His brother is very intelligent and I think he will come around eventually.
I also saw a facebook post today that the new parents decided it was ok for the new mom to have a couple of drinks. She is breastfeeding :rolleyes:
What is a Grandma to do?
I think I will take the kind, gentle, persistent route. It has served me well before.
Thank you all again for your kind comments and lively discussion.
It has really helped me react in a calm considerate manner through this.
 
I hope your son sees sense eventually Laurelayn. You could also share with him the stats I pointed out, about the tiny percentage of children that actually get whooping cough each year. With that kind of minuscule figure, and yet the doctors hyping the very small risk as a large one, is it not reasonable to assume that there is a private corporate interest involved in pushing these vaccines on millions of parents and their children?

Even if there were assumptions on both sides, that still doesn't justify your attitude.

I'm sorry I reacted the way I did. I wish I hadn't written my response the way I wrote it. That's not the way I want to give feedback.

Sorry, hlat.

It's ok. No problem. I've been there, done that. I think we all have.

We're trying to do the right thing, and trying to figure out what the right thing is in each situation.
 
I really gland that T.C asked for apologized to hlat ;) :love:

Dear Laurelayn i understand your sadness to can not see your granddaughter,but in the context of your situation you took the best decision.You were consistent with your principles due to your knowledge. Who knows in the future your granddaughter will understand the WISDOM of her Grandmother and that is going to BE THE BEST LESSON OF LOVE. :hug2:
