Jenny’s Crusade

by

jenny.jpgYesterday I wrote about Kristina Chew and Ari Ne’eman’s “crusade” against the people who want to “cure” autism and continue to research for a cure.

Well, guess who has jumped into that crusade as the opposition? Yes, Jenny. And you thought she had given up? Nope…never. McCarthy is well known for her scandalous ways before her marriage and before her son was born.

Yet after her son, Evan was born, all that changed. At two and a half he was diagnosed with autism and she has become the biggest advocate for autism yet. She is not only helping her son but thousands of other children with the disorder.

Jenny’s “Crusade” to Green the Vaccines is a tremendous undertaking but it will help millions of children stay healthy. I know that AJ will be healthy because we are spacing out his vaccines this year, despite what his doctor wants to do. He has problems with aluminum in his system and I will not overload him with that.

The autism community is not necessarily anti-vaccine but rather “green-vaccine” meaning that they want to spread vaccines out and they want vaccines cleaned up; no more mercury, aluminum, ether, antifreeze, etc.

Additionally, they want the amount of vaccines reduced because in 1983 when the autism rate was lower the amount of vaccines was also lower.

Personally, I am not a raving fan of Jenny because I believe that over the last year she has changed her message and her information several times (to meet the needs of her publicist and herself) but I think she (or the people behind her) have the right idea.

    When my son turns four next year, he’ll be due for some vaccines. I, too, will be spacing them out because I believe it’s healthier for him. He had an adverse reaction to his MMR before and I don’t want to take that risk again. My daughter, on the other hand, never had any reactions to any of her vaccines. And now that I’m pregnant again, I get to face the dilemma all over again.

    I believe it’s better to space them out. How does one go about telling the doctor what your intent is? And what if he is against it? Then what?

    I’ll get the vaccines, but I don’t want my kids bombarded with them all at once. It’s an uphill battle, but one I’m willing to go the distance about. Thank you for posting on this. I hope it helps others.

    I forgot to ask you, what is a safe distance between vaccines?
