I am an RN, graduated in 1971 from nursing school in Kalamazoo, Mi. Mom was a pediatric nurse (graduated in 1948) and I worked in the doctor's office where she worked thru highschool.
Then after graduating, myself, in 1971, worked in hospital - Peds all areas but mostly 6 - 20 year olds for 3.5 years. Then worked in that same pediatric practice my mom was in and I worked in high school - 3 and later 4 pediatricians - one of the busiest practices in town. Was the office manager so not involved in injecting children with vaccines (thank goodness) - don't think I've ever administered one. But I did notice all of the ear infections after they were vaccinated - didn't put 2 and 2 together till later. Also had a few children in the practice with hyperactivity - on Ritalin and other such drugs. But didn't have any autism, only 1 child with asthma, no children with diabetes that I remember, no children with chronic illness of any kind (other than a couple of hemophiliacs). We saw children all the time with the diseases of chicken pox, measles, mumps, rubella - they would make an appointment and pull up outside of our back door and ring the bell and we would stick them in a room there basically for diagnosis so wouldn't infect the others. They really didn't need treatment.
At that time there was a measles vaccine and I think we were just starting to use MMR too (can't remember exactly). Also used DPT, oral polio and that was it. Smallpox vax had been discontinued. I remember calls coming in with children screaming and with temps after vaccines, but really don't remember much more. Just wasn't aware at the time. Don't remember any SIDS cases either.
So worked Peds 1971 - 1978. Then worked a variety of other areas - moved to California - worked adult ICU's, ERs, etc and then finally peds ICU in the mid/late 80's. Don't remember any children with HIB meningitis either. I do remember a few meningitis C cases and some viral meningitis but don't remember the outcome.
I started to find out about holistic health concepts in the late 70's. I studied all that I could and my masters in holistic health edcuation.
In 1982 or so I was introduced to homeopathy. In that study I learned how damaging vaccines, antibiotics, steroids and hormones are to the body/energy system - what homeopathy calls the 'vital force'. I continued to study homeopathy in the 80's and read some on vaccine dangers. I was born in 1950 & only had gotten Smallpox vax & DPT as an infant and then Salk Vaccine when it came out in 1955 and then oral polio when it replaced Salk. I did have a lot of illness with bronchitis and tonsilitis as an infant.
I then had to get rubella vaccine before nursing school (even though I'd had the disease) as well as typhoid and paratyphoid vaccine - don't remember ill effects from them. But I knew that I NEVER wanted to get Hepatitis B vaccine as soon as they offered it to us in the hospital in the 80's. NEVER got another vaccine, ever (nor did I use antibiotics, etc, again) Only used homeopathy, acupuncture, chiropractic, etc.
In the 90's started researching more about vaccine dangers and when the internet became available that's what assisted my search. I have read nearly every book that is out there on vaccines and all the websites I know of and every article I can find - I have thousands & thousands of articles in my email archives, believe me, I kid you not.
I no longer work as a nurse in the allopathic setting as it is against my principles and ethics to participate in a system that damages people (we all come to our own decisions about this issue) I am now a homeopath, having studied for 27+ years - formal and informal, finishing formal school in January, 2003. I spend hours and hours a day on this issue, learning more, and sharing with all of you - teaching wherever I can.
Read all you can - and it takes a lot - inform your self of your risks for the diseases (true risks) and risks for the vaccines. Also learn about homeopathy and you will start to understand more about why the vaccines do so much damage and also have a healing system that can reverse damage and help you and your children on the road to health
So that's a little (a lot) about me.
