Kommentar: Denne artikel er meget informativ i en æra, hvor regeringsorganer kræver to doser af MMR-vaccinen til små børn, selv når der er tegn på dens sammenhæng med autisme.


Dette er ikke en artikel om, hvorvidt vaccinationer er 'gode' eller 'dårlige'. Dette er en artikel om, hvordan C-vitamin i høje doser kan beskytte børn mod vaccinationsbivirkninger. Indtil vi har et reelt valg om, hvorvidt vi vaccinerer vores børn, skal vi søge måder at gøre vaccinationer mere sikre. Højdosis C-vitamin gør vaccinationer sikrere.
MMR vaccine
Et MMR-skud til et barn med kendt vaccinationsfølsomhed

Vores datter modtog for nylig vaccinationen mod MMR (mæslinger, fåresyge og røde hunde). Faktisk modtog hun to. New York State ændrede for nylig loven, der kræver et ekstra MMR-skud for at børn kan gå i børnehaven. Vi var nødt til at sørge for, at hun fik begge injektioner i sommer, før skolen startede. Vi var bekymrede for at give hende to MMR-skud (og så tæt sammen), fordi hun efter en tidligere vaccination havde en alvorlig reaktion.

For mange år siden, før vi lærte at give store doser C-vitamin før, under og efter vaccinationer, havde vores datter (dengang 15 måneder) en alvorlig reaktion på DPT (difteri, pertussis og stivkrampe) vaccination: hun mistede sin koordination , skreg, faldt om og fik høj feber. Høj doser C-vitamin på mætningsniveau helbredte hendes reaktion på DPT-vaccinen og lærte os en vigtig lektion: Giv mere vitamin C. Meget, meget mere. For at beskytte vores børn mod vaccinationsbivirkninger giver vi nu meget høje doser C-vitamin før, under (ja, selv på lægens kontor) og efter vaccinationer. For at læse mere se:

Nej, MMR-vaccinationen er ikke det samme som en DPT-vaccination. Bare fordi vores barn reagerede på en vaccine, betyder det ikke nødvendigvis, at hun vil reagere på en anden. Ifølge Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) kan 'Enhver vaccine forårsage bivirkninger' og 'ligesom enhver medicin er i stand til at forårsage alvorlige problemer.' Se: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vac-gen/side-effects.htm Når man overvejer, hvor meget C-vitamin vores datter holdt efter MMR-vaccinationerne, er vi nødt til at stille os et spørgsmål: hvad skete der med det?


Kommentar: Delvist oversat af Sott.net fra Vitamin C prevents side effects from the MMR vaccine


How Much C? A Lot. A Whole Lot

Our five-year-old, 37-pound (about 17 kg) daughter received saturation-level doses of 8,000 to 11,000 milligrams (mg) of vitamin C every day the week before her first MMR vaccination. The day of her shot, she happily and comfortably held 24,000 mg. For the next couple of days after the shot, her dose was reduced to 20,000 mg/day. Then, for the next four days, her vitamin C dose went down to 15,000 mg/day. The next four: 14,000 mg, 13,000 mg, 12,000 mg and 11,000 mg per day respectively.

For the next several weeks leading all the way up to her second MMR shot, she was getting between 8,000 and 11,000 mg of vitamin C each day.

On the day of her second MMR shot, just a little over a month from the first one, she once again received and comfortably held 24,000 mg of vitamin C. The day after: 19,000 mg. Once again, using bowel tolerance as an indicator, we gradually decreased this dose over the two weeks following this second immunization to an average of 9,000 mg/day. Eventually, we went back to her regular dose of 5,000 mg/day or 1,000 mg/day per year of age, following the recommendation of Frederick Robert Klenner, MD: http://orthomolecular.org/library/jom/1998/articles/1998-v13n04-p198.shtml or http://www.doctoryourself.com/klennerpaper.html.

According to the CDC Vaccine Information Statement we received from our daughter's pediatrician, the MMR vaccine can cause "mild problems" including fever, rash, and glandular swelling; "moderate problems" including fever-induced seizure and painful joints; and "severe problems" such as serious allergic reactions, deafness, coma, and permanent brain damage. See: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vac-gen/side-effects.htm

Our daughter did not experience a single one of these side effects from the MMR shots. She had no vaccination reaction whatsoever. She had no fever, no swelling, no nothing. She was (and is) happy and healthy. How would things have gone if she had not been given high-dose vitamin C? We don't know. And we aren't about to take chances with potential side effects like coma or permanent brain damage.

Using Bowel Tolerance as an Indicator of "Enough" Vitamin C

Everyone wants to know, "How much vitamin C?" There is no set amount. This is why bowel tolerance is the ideal indicator. When warranted by such events as illness, potential illness, or immunizations, we give our children enough vitamin C to get just to the point of saturation, or loose stool. This is often indicated by a rumbling tummy or some gas. If stools become loose, we decrease how much vitamin C we give. If our children are happy and tooting away, that is just about right. After each MMR shot, our daughter's body accepted up to 24,000 mg/day of vitamin C. On any other regular day, she would reach bowel tolerance at much lower doses.

To reiterate, we give vitamin C to bowel tolerance when our kids show signs of sickness (runny nose, coughing, sneezing), and before, during, and after immunizations. We get them to bowel tolerance of vitamin C before there is a full-blown illness, and to prevent side effects from vaccinations.

"The titration (bowel tolerance) method or large intravenous doses are absolutely necessary to obtain excellent results. The method produces spectacular effects in all patients capable of tolerating these doses. A placebo could not possibly work so reliably, even in infants and children, and have such a profound effect on critically ill patients." - Robert F. Cathcart III, MD

This is how we apply Dr. Robert F. Cathcart's bowel tolerance method: for our five year old daughter, we give vitamin C throughout the day in divided doses, beginning the day with a larger "loading dose" (about 3,000 mg) and then give frequent, smaller doses (about 2,000 mg every two hours) right up to about an hour before bedtime. When she was younger, we gave less, and she "held" less. Bowel tolerance is an excellent indicator of "enough" vitamin C no matter how old your child is.

When in Doubt, Give Vitamin C

Our daughter may be a special case. Maybe your child won't need nearly this much vitamin C. However, knowing the incredible safety and effectiveness of high-dose vitamin C, we are very comfortable giving our daughter what I would like to call "take no chances" sized doses at immunization time.

No, we don't take chances. We take vitamins. And we take a lot of them.
