Vaccinations are a controversial issue these days. Are they safe? Are they effective? Are they really mandatory?
If we choose to vaccinate, how can we protect ourselves from the unwanted side effects or reactions?
If we choose not to vaccinate, how can we protect ourselves from the dangers of disease? What about waiver forms?
Our office can provide you with resources of databases, published research and general information. This will assist you in navigating the differing perspectives that we all hear from so many sources, and to then make the best choices for your own personal situation.
Protecting our children from disease and suffering is a primary concern for all parents. In a nation where Cancer is projected to effect 1 in 2 people by 2020, protecting our children from Cancer is a big priority. So when the FDA approved Gardasil (the vaccine against HPV) and started marketing it as the first anti Cancer vaccine, it is understandable why we were so excited. While this all sounds incredible for girls and young women, some researchers are asking if it is accurate to call Gardasil an “anti Cancer vaccine.” And amid reports that girls are passing out or becoming seriously injured after receiving Gardasil, many parents are asking if this vaccine is truly worth the risk.
Dr. Diane Harper, a lead Gardasil researchers, is one of the people asking these questions. Recently, CBS News interviewed Dr. Harper about Gardsil and she gave some excellent information about the risks and benefits of Gardasil. Follow the link below to this article.
