I am starting to think that vaccinations are keeping my daughter sick constantly. Any advice, ideas?

My 4 1/2 year old hasn't been vaccinated for 2 1/2 years (doc office lost her shot record) and she has never been sick since. My 15 month old is up to date and has been sick constantly the last few months.I am starting to think that vaccinations are keeping my daughter sick constantly. Any advice, ideas?
Some people would claim that vaccines do actually harm the child's immune system, causing vaccinated children to get sick more often than non-vaccinated children. My neice is not vaccinated and has never been sick once (15 months). Every child is different, but I would do some research on the pros and cons of vaccinations and of not vaccinating. You could start at mothering.com-great website.I am starting to think that vaccinations are keeping my daughter sick constantly. Any advice, ideas?
It can absolutely be the vaccines, the immune system isn't fully developed at this age (really not until after about age 6 at the earliest) so vaccines and the toxic ingredients they use to stabilize and preserve them can definitely make people, especially children, more susceptible to common bugs. Try boosting your kids' immune systems by not feeding them any refined sugars, and especially not high fructose corn syrup (stick to natural stuff like honey, maple syrup, stevia, agave nectar, concentrated fruit juices or evaporated cane juice to sweeten things), feeding plenty of fruits and veggies, and supplementing with vitamin C and Garlic Oil. Stay away from processed foods - if you don't recognize an ingredient and know exactly what it is, don't give it too them, and opt for whole grains over stuff made with white flour. You can also consult a naturopath or naturopathic physician about some other ways to boost immunity.
I don't think it has anything to do with getting shots or not getting them. The 15 month old is more susceptible to viruses, cold, sickness right now. Personally, I would get the 4 1/2 year old caught up on her shots or you'll be dealing with 2 sick children.
You should be a little more persistant about those shot records! They're in there somewhere and the staff needs to find them. I've heard of that happening to several people, and the records did turn up, with a lot of nagging from mom.





Your doctor should be able to tell if yur baby is just regular sick or sick from the vaccinations. It's possible, but rare.
