1 What Do I Really Know About Vaccines? I Have Many Vaccine Questions

Have you ever had “the light bulb” go on in your head at some point, and you ask yourself, “Why do I believe what I believe?” You’re probably saying, “Yes, that’s happened to me several times in my life.”
And so it is with me, about spiritual matters, about how to handle relationships, about medical matters, I’ve had a change in perspective several times in my life. For instance at the University of San Francisco Medical School I received excellent training in conventional medicine and was enamored with some of the “life-saving, miracle” drugs. Until I personally got caught up in the vicious cycle of recurrent infections requiring multiple rounds of antibiotics which wrecked my gut and sent me in a downward spiral health wise.
Knowing that my colleagues did not know how to get me out of this vicious cycle, I had to start looking elsewhere. That’s when I began to research and later implement so-called “alternative, complementary, integrative” techniques of healing and preventing diseases. (If you want to know more details about my story, you can read it here. https://www.drjomd.com/highways/unfriendly-organisms/candida-the-yeast-overgrowth-problem/
Gradually as I was introduced to more information about the optimal way to care for and heal the human body, more of my previous beliefs changed.
Part of that process of change involved my perspective on vaccines. I blithely believed what I learned in medical school about vaccines and followed the medical guidelines with patients. But then in the 1990’s we began to see an increase in the number of children with autism and nobody knew why. But many parents firmly reported that their happy child was reaching milestones of walking, talking, tracking with their eyes, etc., until they received one or more of their childhood vaccines. Then they lost their sparkling, happy child who regressed in developmental milestones and became very uncomfortable and unhappy.
Seeing the lost potential and suffering of those children and their families broke my heart. And that was one of the tipping points that started my quest to learn more about vaccines. To date I’ve written down 2 pages of questions about vaccines and the more I read and research the more questions I have.
One major “enlightenment” came: the vaccine issue is very complex. We cannot explain it with just a few words or pages. It’s much bigger than taking a stand as pro-vaccine or anti-vaccine. We have to look at the history of vaccines in relation to what was happening in society at each point in time. What was the physical environment like? What did people eat? Did they have adequate nutrient intake? How would the infectious diseases respond to optimal nutrition? Who is producing the vaccines? How do they profit from that production?
And so perhaps the biggest question is: Are vaccines safe?
That’s my starting point as I explore this issue to learn the truth about vaccines. If it’s your good pleasure, please join me on this journey and exploration.
Blessings,
Dr. Jo
