Obviously, many children withstand the barrage just fine, but so many of our children suffer a spectrum of effects from mild (like our experience) to severe, which is why I think vaccination should be approached with care in sensitive children, though we can't always know ahead of time, which child is sensitive, immunologically speaking.<br /><br />I started my daughter on probiotics about a year ago, and I think it has been pretty great! I can't be sure if it is just that her skin has matured, or the probiotics, but her skin is much clearer and I've discontinued using Miralax, which she was put on by the pedi's office, indefinitely, until a friend showed me a disturbing article that made me decide to wean her off of it. We use Yum Yum Dophilus by Jarrow Formulas, which is Top 7 free (traces of soy). She has also been on Qvar (maintenance medication for her asthma), so I don't know how much that might have contributed to things, but she hasn't been sick in a long while, either.<br /><br />As for the pediatrician's office...they are really great...for the basics. When it comes to food allergies...Hmm, not so much...This is the same office that dismissed my concerns for 15 months before I insisted that my daughter be tested. This is the office that said, "hey, try cow's milk, again, at 12 months", after which my sweet baby projectile-vomited everywhere...No, not so great...However, in treating other areas, they have been pretty good. Their service level is great...Same-day appointments are always available, and they have a few great doctors who are very attentive, but most of them know very little about allergic conditions. I know they can't know everything about everything, but allergic conditions are spiking and I think all pediatricians' offices need to get up-to-speed on this spectrum of conditions.Selenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12900384911873331412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8446226862941350989.post-1472238864048337702013-06-18T07:59:02.728-05:002013-06-18T07:59:02.728-05:00I think vaccine can be one of many triggers leadin...I think vaccine can be one of many triggers leading to allergies, asthma, eczema, ADHD, autism, and son on. It's very likely a big combination of many toxins and things that weaken the immune system. Pinpointing one particular cause is very hard. <br /><br />Do you give her probiotics before and after? They make some great allergy-free versions that could help boost her immune system. I give them to my children every day.<br /><br />Sounds like you have a GREAT doctor that was willing to work with you to find the right vaccines for your child. Our previous pediatrician told us there were no options and we had to essentially take what they offered. And that was before I know what I know now :)<br /><br />JenniferAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
