Vaccination is a hot topic with passionate people on both sides of the issue; discussions can be confrontational and uncomfortable, leaving many people feeling they have no option other than to ignore it completely. This is all very unfortunate, because vaccination is an important, on-going topic that affects everyone, and if we are to be wise stewards of our health and the health of our children, we need to know the facts.
I researched vaccines before the birth of my first child thanks to the advice of my chiropractor at that time, and I am very thankful that my husband and I had our decisions figured out before we started our family. Since my cancer diagnosis a few years ago, I have learned even more about the connection between vaccines and cancer, and it was eye-opening!
There is a lot of information out there, and it can be hard to know where to start researching. It can also be very difficult to know what is true, what is not, and whom to trust. Rather than try to cover the subject of vaccines in this post, I would like to invite you to watch a free online documentary mini-series called The Truth About Vaccines in which the creators explore the topic of vaccination by interviewing over 60 vaccine experts including doctors, scientists, and researchers. This documentary is made by the people at The Truth About Cancer (they have a website and Facebook page, and they are one of my main resources for cancer information). I have watched both of their mini-series documentaries about cancer, and I highly recommend their work! They are professional, honest, balanced, and have a heart for helping others.
The documentary begins on April 12th at 8:00 Central time (9:00 Eastern time); there will be seven episodes--one episode per night for seven straight days. Each episode will also be available for 24 hours after it airs.
