My interest in vaccination stems from my concern for child – and adult – health safety issues. It is important that every parent has sufficient information to make an informed choice about vaccination that is right for them and their family.Dr Jayne Donegan

In my opinion, the biggest barrier to intelligent management of childhood illnesses is fear......
More parents are deciding not to vaccinate their children these days due to the huge rates in case of reactions. Their Doctors are dismayed and often make them feel very guilty and in some countries and states, they are forced to vaccinate anyway. But what sways a doctor to not want to support vaccination? This is Dr Jayne Donegan's story.
Published in 2004 - ‘MUMPS HITS UNIVERSITIES’, scream the headlines as universities set up mass vaccination programmes
advising students to have the MMR jab as an epidemic of mumps threatens to sweep through campuses
across the country. Figures from the Health Protection Agency show an increase in mumps from about
1,500 for all age groups in 2003 to almost 2,000 cases in only the first six months of this year.
We are told that most cases of mumps are among people in their very late teens and early 20s who have
not been vaccinated with the MMR and are therefore vulnerable to infection (1)
GENERAL MEASURES FOR MANAGING ACUTE CHILDHOOD ILLNESS OR INFECTION

When your child is sick, often you don't know what to do, and will rush off to the doctors to get an opinion on what is wrong. If it's an emergency then fine but what if its something relatively simple like a cold? Rather than giving your child pharmaceuticals (even if prescribed for children its still a drug) you can try these simple measures to help get your child back to good health again. Intro by Anna Rodgers
Much of Western Medicine is based on ‘The Germ Theory of Disease’. According to ‘The Germ Theory of Disease’: you meet a bacterium or virus and you catch the disease, unless you have had it before and you are immune. But if this were true, then everyone on a bus which was carrying someone with ‘flu would catch the ‘flu, but they don’t. Why not? - Not because they have antibodies to the ‘flu - the ‘flu virus changes every year, that is reason people are vaccinated annually against the ‘flu. No, the only people who ‘catch’ the ‘flu are those who are prone or susceptible to catching it. What is the difference between proneness and susceptibility? I regard susceptibility as the positive ability to acquire infectious diseases as a way of supporting health.
