             What’s my advice to a mother facing an onslaught of vaccinations for her child? I recommend reading some of the litera-
          ture on the dangers of the toxic chemicals in the vaccines, such as aluminum, mercury, glutamate, retroviruses and human
          DNA, to help you make an informed decision. Vaccines used to be a lot safer than they are today, and the reason, I believe,
          is the synergistic effect of all the other toxic chemicals that today’s kids are exposed to, in the air, the water, and their food.
          Some of these factors can be controlled, particularly the food. I cannot recommend enough the advice to switch your chil-
          dren to a 100 percent organic whole foods diet. I realize this takes more effort and costs more, but if you end up protecting
          your child from one of the many autoimmune and neurological diseases that today’s kids suffer from, it will be well worth it.
             If your child already suffers from asthma, eczema, food allergies, epilepsy, attention deficit hyperactivity disor-
          der (ADHD), autism or anxiety, then you need to be very careful with vaccines. If you don’t feel you can respon-
          sibly omit all the vaccines, at least space them out and make sure your child does not have a cold or other illness
          at the time of a vaccination. I recommend this for any child, but especially for a child who is already suffering from
          these conditions. Finally, please get your kids outside in the sunlight without sunscreen as much as possible. Sunlight
          catalyzes the synthesis of sulfate in the skin  and this is one of the best ways to ensure that your child’s sulfate sup-
                                               33
          plies are adequate. Adequate sulfate will help protect children from disease and make vaccines much less dangerous.
