Vaccine question

[powerofprayer]

It's been forever since I've posted on here but i am still a frequent reader and find so much comfort in it. Thank you everyone for that!

My daughter started kindergarten today! Her eye blinking tics have increased in intensity and frequency these last couple weeks. After her intial onset, the worst of it lasting three months, she had a fairly mild year. We would see the occasional blink at home, but her teachers in PreK never mentioned it. She wasn't taking any supps at the time but we were watching the artificial ingredients. I can't say we TOTALLY eliminated them, but we were trying to limit them as much as possible. We did get pretty lax with that this summer so i wonder if the last two weeks has anything to do with that. We also moved from OK to SC this summer so maybe new environment? Though I didn't expect environmental allergies to be any worse than OK.

SO that's the a background.......the question i have is about MMR titers. I talked to her new ped the other day about testing her antibody levels for MMR, so we don't give her unnecessary vacs. She seemed to know what i was talking about but then said the problem with that is there is no "set number". Meaning to say, that one child could have immunity say with a level of x, but that same level for another child wouldn't indicate immunity. IF this is true, how can the states like NJ do this test instead of the second shot? I know there are some well versed vaccine members here, so any info you might have would be helpful.

Also she said that pertussis is the only vaccine she knows of that people with neuro conditions should maybe avoid. I hadn't ever heard that........anyone know the reason?

and now maybe an easier question, i found some taurine for myself. its from a company called "beyond a century". it is a powder...actually almost like crystal form. It says that 1/4 tsp is 750 mg. I see that most here who give it to their children give 500 mg. i am asking for myself, a 37 year old average sized female. 750 wouldn't be too much would it? so far, i haven't seen a reduction in tics, but it's only been four days or so. I think i read that taurine is effective for vocal tics?? or is the L-Carnitine better for vocal?

powerofprayer,

 

I'm so glad that you are really giving this the thought that you are.

 

These are some sites that might help you out. I don't believe for one second (personally) that the DTP or DTaP are the only vaccines capable of causing/triggering problems in our kids. Wish I had more time to comment (would luv to see you ask your Ped for copies of safety studies on the use of aluminum adjuvants etc.) but for now, I hope you find something helpful here.

Remember even the CDC acknowledges that adverse events are underreported

This is in regards to the older DTP and my understanding is that Dr.s still look to the newer DTaP as being the culprit when multiple vaccines are given and there is an adverse reaction. Maybe someday they will accept the fact that there are other things going on that might be causing problems too.

Résumé / Abstract

In August 1991, the Institute of Medicine released a report entitled Adverse Effects of Pertussis and Rubella Vaccines, wich examined, among others, the relation between immunization with whole-cell diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP) vaccine and both acute encephalopathy and chronic neurological damage.
