When should you bring your newborn to the holistic pediatrician?!
Question:
When should you bring your newborn to the holistic pediatrician?
I refuse to poison,I mean vaccinate,my son.The regular pediatrician wants to see him every 2 months or so for vaxes and well screening and growth progress.I refused to sign their"parent at fault should your kid get sick" Refusal to Vaccinate Form so now we don't go to this conventional Pediatrician anymore.Should I bring my son to the Holistic Ped. now or do ya'll see the Dr. when your child gets sick only?
Answers: I agree with Oldtimekid. You should establish contact with your holistic doctor. You will want to keep your son's immune system up so he won't get sick. There's two perks to that. First, a healthy baby is a happy mother. Second, you won't have to go back to the conventional doctor.
I don't blame you for not vaccinating. To all of those who say that there is not proof that vaccines cause certain serious conditions, I'm glad you never acquired any of these conditions. A year after being vaccinated, I developed type 1 diabetes. You try taking 4 shots a day, just to survive, and tell me that vaccines are harmless. As far as sending your child to school without vaccinations, you can. As simple as that.
Congratulations on the new baby and best of health to you both. Source(s):

i will say why i didnt answer the question
because its a wacky question
i would not answer
"how do i abuse my baby" question either
and vitamin company ummm ok sure
i work for a pyramid scam company want to join? Why not just sign the form? You said you won't vaccinate your kid and they don't want you suing them when the kid comes down with rubella or menengitis. I would take the kid to a regular ped. for checkups because they really are important. If your kid gets sick this gives them a baseline to decide if the child has lost weight, stopped growing or stopped developing naturally. I would swallow my pride. There is no such thing as a holistic pediatrician because holistic healers are not medical doctors. I would advise that you take your child to a doctor to get the recommended vaccines so that he/she does not die unnecessarily. Vaccines are not poisons, they are solutions of proteins which allow your body to identify and fight off infectious pathogens that may otherwise kill you. Why would you refuse to sign their form after you told them how to treat your child? Just asking you to take responsibility for the decision you made, and you won't commit to it? No wonder they won't let you in there anymore.
I'd say you should bring your kid to some kind of doctor every three months or so, unless the doctor you decide on says you don't need to visit that often. You want someone who knows the medical issues kids face to help with that decision, and if you can't trust a real doctor, find someone you do trust to help you.
Do check out the latest study that hit the news about the MMR vaccination. It showed the vaccination didn't cause problems other people thought it may have caused. Much of what you have read against vaccination are theories that need to be tested--they are based on preliminary studies or conclusions from data gathered from other experiments. The first test (studying the MMR vaccine) showed that many of the fears associated with that one were unfounded (although that study didn't focus on autism).
And one last observation. All the people in my office who believe in holistic medicine use every single last one of their sick days every year for the past three years. Not an exaggeration--I know this. So please keep that in mind when considering AMA conspiracies to keep us all sick and on their drugs.
Oldtime--I did answer the question, but my answer wouldn't be complete without criticizing what was behind the question. Wow, no actual answers to your question yet... just people telling you how much you should just get him vaccinated. Talk about not reading your question. LOL!
Ultimately, I totally agree with you about the vaccination issue. As far as when to bring him to a holistic doctor, I would recommend finding a good holistic doctor first, then ask them. I don't have any children yet, so I haven't asked yet (otherwise, I'd say what they told me)... but that would be your best bet.
Also, it is the most recommended to keep a "regular pediatrician" available that you can go to if your son has an accident and for general checkups, etc (but specifically tell the Pediatrician you don't want vaccinations).
Most holistic doctors don't specialize as Pediatricians, but there's a possibility you may be able to find one... if you can, more power to you!
Good luck!
