I agree with Ted. I have three children aged 12, 10 and 7 with number four on the way.

I have not vaccinated my children nor exposed them to any kind of pharmacuticals. My children have never had calpol and only one has had a course of antibiotics after contracting a stafflicoci infection from hospital ( following a hernia operation as a 3 year old). He then went on to develop type 1 diabetes which I beleive was directly related to this fierce infection he had. He is insulin dependant but well controlled and on an extremely low dose for his age and size. I believe this is partly because he leads such a healthy life.

My children are rarely sick  have had very few days off school, sleep well, eat well and generally recover vey quickly if they do come down with a cold or bug.They have all had measles and chicken pox under the age of five.

I am often treated agressively when I mention that I have not vaccinated my children it is so interesting that many people appear to be affronted by it. I am not a hippy the whole idea just simply isn't logical to me.

I would be interested to share thoughts with others who have had a similar experience to mine.
