Hello Ms. Karpasea-Jones,
we have been in touch before when you sent me (free of charge I might add) your leaflet on the powers of breast milk in Cape Town. Once again thank you for that. Because of our misinformation and our ignorance of the law our son was vaccinated for bcg, polio, dpt hep b and was given prevenar all within 10 days after 1 month of being born. Since then no vaccinations and constant breast feeding which he is still on at 9 months old.
We were told by a doctor recently, that breast milk has very little efficacy at 9 months after birth and we were recommended a product called Icreo. We have already decide not to use it and to keep on breast feeding with the mother eating as healthily as possible.
Why is that the medical profession seems to be against breast milk? I say this because all doctors that we have been to see, in at least 3 different continents have said that we should go on to some kind of branded formula milk as breast milk is not good enough - which makes no sense to me. Be that as it may, Breast milk rules in our household.
I can tell you that the determination is to let his own body do the work and our responsibility is to continue learning what the symptoms of many childhood diseases are so that we may recognise it and act accordingly and swiftly if and when they occur.
We have recently moved to Japan and the pressure here to vaccinate is high. We recently did a check on our son and when the doctor heard that we were not going the vaccination route, it was then all about fear mongering with the word death mentioned several times in 10 mins of conversation. So we had to do some more research to refresh our minds on why we decided not to vaccinate and we are fully refreshed..:)
This note is just to express our appreciation for the work you have done and are doing and the fact that you always reference whatever you write. I mention this in particular as it so important to see where all the info hails from. Keep up the good work.
