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
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.
