Tips taking baby/toddler for immunisation

Vaccinosis & its cure by thuja

BURNETT’S

PREFACE

it is a dozen years since this little volume was first printed, and during these years I have steadfastly followed in my treatment of disease the lines indicated herein. With what result ? Successes not even dreamed of by those who cannot or will not believe that Vaccinosis is a very great clinical truth, and one of enormous therapeutic range.

What little I have added to this edition will be found strewn here and there throughout the volume ; but the case that is narrated on page 94 is one of somewhat wide import, as it lays very special stress on a point of practice that I have frequently touched upon more especially in my little work "on ringworm." It is called, "Vaccinosis baring the way" to a cure of an ailment of a dual nature, and this throws a strong light on not a few failure to cure .. .. for a case of disease of dual nature (two separate and distinct pathologic qualities) cannot be cured by any one remedy homoepathic to one only of its two pathologic qualities. 

For more on this subject, see my "New Cure of Consumption," and my "Diseases of the Skin." Properly speaking, this highly important subject deserves to be thoroughly worked out from the clinical side with ample proofs of this contention, but thus far I have failed to fix anybody's .attention upon the subject, and I have myself no time to spare at present. Moreover, one thing at a time has long been my motto.

There is also the option NOT to immunise. :)

When I first took my eldest to be innoculated, I had decided I would breastfeed her whilst they were jabbing, only to be told that it gives the child a bad association - breastfeeding = pain. That made sense to me, so I just held her and let them get on with it. Two years later, when Nyle was having his heel prick test, the health visitor suggested I feed him. I explained what I had be told and was told, "No, they've disproved that. It actually helps them." So, I fed him and despite the student nurse stabbing him three times, he dealt with it pretty well. I have now fed him at his three sets of injections with no problem. I have to admit that it would take an awful lot to put this boy off his food, but when I starts crying after the needle, I wave a boob in his face and he quickly decides milk is more fun and calms down easily. I would recommend it as a way to make the injections less traumatic.

For my daughter, I intend to take along snacks that are a real treat and she doesn't get often. Have yet to try this one out as she is always too full of cold whenever we book an appointment for MMR, but food is a thing that I think will work for her.

One thing I thought about whilst reading this article - Us Brits may complain about the National Health Service, but it's nice not having to worry about paying at the end!
