The topic of vaccinations is a polarizing subject that sorely divides people, even close friends and family.
My belief as a healthcare worker is that all families should be fully informed when making medical decisions for their children. This means you understand the benefits and the risks of any medical intervention, especially vaccines.
And while I am not an epidemiologist or immunologist to give you guidance on how to specifically protect children against world disease, I did in-depth research on the ingredients in certain vaccines in this post.
The involvement of aluminum adjuvant, polysorbate 80, and formaldehyde in the makeup of vaccines is listed clearly on the package insert. Which can be seen here if you like, scroll down to section 11.
**Update: Please refer to this post for more information on the benefits of being self-reliant for health, how vaccines may not be the answer to all our problems, and why I chose to speak out on this heavily debated topic.**
I can summarize the effect these ingredients have on the body in two words: carcinogenic and neurotoxic.
The governing bodies are recommending that today’s children be injected with almost three times the number of vaccines that was recommended when I was a kid.
Regardless of your parental choice on the matter of vaccination, every parent should know how to detox children from vaccines.

How the Body Detoxes
The human body has many systems in place to aid in detoxification.
The liver converts substances into forms more easily eliminated by the body. Such as elimination in the gut via bile or in the kidneys through urine.
The intestines are home to “normal” gut flora that metabolize toxins and eliminate bad bacteria and viruses. It also delays absorption of heavy metals from our diet (FYI when you inject a heavy metal such as aluminum, it goes straight into the bloodstream and crosses the blood-brain barrier all at once).
The kidneys filter the blood and excrete toxins in urine.
Our heart brings blood to the lungs which can expel toxins as we exhale.
Our skin excretes toxins through sweat. You may notice skin irritation in the form of a rash or eczema after vaccination. This is the body trying push out the poison to detoxify itself.
The lymphatic system is the storage and shipping unit where white blood cells bring bad bacteria they have destroyed for removal.
Our body is truly amazing and able to protect itself in many ways. Children however, do not have fully mature bodies.
Children have a diminished ability to detox due to the immaturity of their organs
Children’s bodies are in a constant state of growth. A fetus takes 9.5 months to develop enough to survive in the outside world. You wouldn’t expect your newborn child to tackle addition or subtraction on the day he is born. In fact, it takes five full years for the brain to develop to 90% of the adult size.
I refer to brain growth because it is easy to measure and conclude that a child’s brain is obviously not capable of doing the work of an adult brain.
We cannot expect the other organs in the body to be at full capacity to filter and remove toxins in the same way an adult body is able.
Even an adult’s body does not easily rid itself of heavy metals. A child’s organs are even more incapable.
Babies are born with a full set of nephrons (the kidneys’ filtering units) but they are immature and will not reach their full capacity until 2 years old.
The liver is also not functioning at its full filtering capability yet. This is seen outwardly when newborn babies turn yellow. It happens because of the buildup of bilirubin (the byproduct of the breakdown of red blood cells) and the immature liver’s inability to remove it efficiently.
Substances like aluminum and mercury are difficult for the body to remove.
Yes, there is a mercury derivative in the flu vaccine, called thimerosal and it is thought to metabolize faster than mercury found in fish. There is “inconclusive data” on whether or not this substance exhibits long-term neurotoxic effects.
The World Health Organization claims that small doses of thimerosal are safe regardless of the repetitive exposure that children get in utero and through the CDC’s vaccine schedule.
However, a literature review from the Journal of Applied Toxicology found that exposure to thimerosal can deplete glutathione (a neuroprotective enzyme), induce apoptosis (cell death), and cause other disrupting effects on cell metabolism.
A healthy immune system can overcome the flu, and we aren’t injecting the mercury in fish right into our bloodstream. There is a reason why the GI tract has defense mechanisms in place to avoid absorbing toxic substances like mercury.
How to gently detox children from vaccines
The good news is there are natural things we can do to assist little bodies in expelling some of the toxins associated with vaccines.
Keep in mind that after the first vaccination, a child will never again be completely free from toxins and we don’t know how the damage done will present itself in the future.
My son is now prone to skin rashes when he wasn’t before.
Related: Natural Remedies for Infant Heat Rash
I am continously supporting his body through high quality nutrition, adequate rest, and plenty of time outdoors.
Here are 5 simples steps to detox a child from vaccines. Keep in mind the nutritional support will be an ongoing process.
1. Start by prepping the gut for detox
Vaccines cause inflammation and destroy good gut bacteria.
First and foremost before you start to detox your kids from vaccine damage, you need to heal their gut.
Related: How to heal the gut naturally
You can do this by adding fresh pressed juice from raw fruits and veggies to their diets, preferably organic.
If you add apples to your homemade juice it tastes much better, however, if you have trouble getting it down the hatch, try adding spinach and cucumbers to smoothies. Both of these veggies are relatively tasteless when combined with fruits or nut butters.
Here is my favorite juicer. It is a masticating juicer which means it gets the most juice out of the fruit and veggies without destroying the nutrients. It is also easy to clean.
I love our Vitamix blender for making smoothies because it pulverizes every veggie to be unrecognizable by tiny eyeballs. You can buy them refurbished on Amazon for much cheaper these days.
You also want to replace their gut bacteria with probiotics rich foods. Some great foods to offer include kefir, yogurt, fermented sauerkraut, Kombucha, or cheese made from goats milk.
We have also found a very reputable probiotic company. They sell fermented, nonGMO, organic sugar molasses that contains 5 species of beneficial bacteria.
Make sure they are getting plenty of time outside in the dirt. It sounds silly but the more time in nature children get the faster they return to health.
2. Cod liver oil supplement
Omega-3 fatty acids are healthy fats that are brain-protective and will reduce inflammation in the body. Cod liver oil is one of the best. It is high in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, and E.
You can give your child 1/2 teaspoon of cod liver oil orally, in a bottle, or rubbed on their belly every day, but especially after getting vaccines.
Cod liver oil is an age-old remedy that should be a family staple. We give it to our son with a small oral syringe. He doesn’t mind at all because it is mildly flavored with lemon and peppermint essential oils.
3. Use the homeopathic vaccine detox protocol
Before I was wiser to the ingredients of vaccines, my son received the flu shot. He subsequently started having seizures.
After going to a pediatrician, emergency room, and cardiologist, I had no explanation for the symptoms I was observing in my son.
As an RN who has worked alongside physicians for years, I wanted to feel at ease with the absence of an official diagnosis from a wide variety of medical practitioners.
My mama instincts and training on how to assess the human body told me otherwise.
After speaking to a Naturopathic physician, and consulting my homeopathy group, I started a homeopathic vaccine detox protocol.
This detox protocol simply involves dissolving one dose of Thuja 30C in a small amount of water completely in the morning. Then I gave one tsp of the water remedy three times a day to my son. This is to negate the ill effects of the vaccine. I also gave him Nat. Sulph 30C three times a day in conjunction with Thuja to help carry out toxins from the body.
This can be done for seven days on seven days off, as many cycles as it takes for the ill effects to disappear.
We did this for two full cycles. I kid you not, I haven’t seen a seizure since and there is a place for alternative medicine in my home and in my heart.
Also, a few doses of Silica 30C will also help to push out toxins, foreign substances (like splinters for example), and heavy metals. It’s homeopathy’s general surgeon if you will!
4. Add Chlorella and Spirulina to smoothies
Chlorella and Spirulina are blue green algae that contains high concentrations of chlorophyll.
Both of these are considered a superfoods because very small amounts of them contain high concentrations of extremely bioavailable vitamins.
Chlorella is very useful at binding heavy metals and preventing them from being further absorbed by the body.
Spirulina supports the body nutritionally. Ditch children’s vitamins and just use spirulina.
Chlorella doesn’t taste very good, so you may have a hard time getting your little one to eat it. If your child is old enough to take a capsule, this would be the best way to get them to consume it.
You can also try to hide the taste by adding it to a smoothie with banana and peanut butter.
5. Detox baths
While you are actively detoxing your child from vaccines, give them a detox bath every night.
A detox bath is a great way for them to sweat out toxins and replenish minerals. Our detox baths consist of warm water, epsom salt, and lavender essential oil.
Allow your child to soak and play for at least 10 minutes each night.
Find Further Help
Having spent the last decade of my life in the conventional world of medicine, I was hesitant to accept the fact that the ingredients in vaccines could be poisoning our bodies.
If your child is experiencing a vaccine reaction and you can’t find answers, get hooked up with a Naturopathic physician in your area.
They are trained in the management of health versus the management of disease.
It is our responsibility as parents to educate ourselves on the health choices we make for our children.
This includes learning how to detox children from vaccines.
If you are interested in learning about homeopathic prophylaxis against world disease, I highly recommend the course put together by Sue Myer from Homeopathy for Mommies. Sue has a wealth of knowledge on this subject.
You may notice your child being extra tired or grumpy while you are detoxing. This is a good thing, it means it is working.
Hi Liv,
Thank you for this very helpful article. I’d like to use the homeopathic protocol. Could I give my 18 month old the full globule instead of the water solution? He’s had globules in the past before. If yes, what would be the dose?
Thank you!
I recommend it exactly as written.
Hi Liv thank you for the very helpful article! My son received the first round of vaccination at 2 months and we never allowed any more after that. I’ve noticed he has a bit of digestion trouble but nothing too serious. He’s now 10 months and I was wondering if he is too young to start a bit of detox? If so what age is it appropriate?
You can do this detox at any age. Homeopathy is very gentle and it most involved using nutrition to boost the body’s natural detoxification.
How does spirulina help detox? You mentioned that it is a superfood – how does that help? thanks
It is to support the gut and the body as a whole nutritionally while it’s doing the work to detox.
At how many months can we do the above?
I did three rounds for my son and it did the trick but it can be done as many times until improvement is seen.
Hi Liv,
Thank you very much for such an informative blog post.
Do you have any information on the connection of MTHFR and vaccine reactions?
My son was born with a tongue and lip tie. After his second round of vaccines (Hib and Pc) we noticed he became incredibly subdued. He wasn’t rolling around, smiling and babbling. I’m still not sure if he has recovered from the vaccines and am looking forward to implementing your suggestions.
I have used homeopathy before and have some practical questions regarding the protocol. Do I dissolve one tablet in a tablespoon of water? What would the exact amounts be for the solution? I don’t want to risk overdosing my baby.
Thank you again and many blessings!
People with the MTHFR mutation have trouble eliminating toxins from their body which makes them more vulnerable to the ingredients in vaccines. You can use whatever the dose on the bottle usually 3 pellets. The things with homeopathy is it is an extreme dilution on the original substance. By putting it in water you are just further diluting it. There is not really such a thing as an overdose. You can experience what is called a “proving” which is where a healthy person experiences the symptoms that the original substance causes, but this is not likely to happen with the protocol I have described.
Thank you!
Do you recommend TRS?
I haven’t used it myself but I have heard of other people who have had success with it.
Hi!!i have a teenager (17) who needs a meningococcal vaccine to stay in school – how do I help him before during and after? I’m so afraid.
You can use the 3 homeopathic remedies right before and after but avoiding it all together would be a better option.
Hi there, I am concerned about the metals transfered to my 2 yr old from a PCR test when he was sick and I had to take him to an urgent care. I didn’t know at the time or I wouldn’t have allowed it. Being a smaller amount and for a 2 yr old, what would the dosage amounts be for like the cod oil and are the treatments suggested safe for him at that age? Thank you so much!
I gave both my sone’s 1/2 tsp of cod liver oil without any problems. But I always start out very small and increase as tolerated for my kids. All these things I did with my son under the age of two. He is now 4 years old and reading, very intelligent, no seizures. Truly healed as far as I can tell!
Hi, my son received a vitamin K shot at birth (it was a bumpy delivery). I feel horrible, I thought it was just a vitamin shot, but now I know better. He is now 7. Do I follow your above protocols, or do I add anything different. Thanks
There is a homeopathic pharmaceutical detox you can do that uses different remedies but the nutrition advice is pertinent to supporting the body through any detox.
Hello, I would like to know how to know the doses of THUJA 30c, nat, sulph 30c and silica if you have administered the 3 sets during a period of 7 days or 14 consecutive days?
Regarding detox fruit juices with spirulina, I imagine that it is about 2 weeks before the administration of homeopathy above?
Thank you
Bonjour, j’aimerais savoir savoir les doses de THUJA 30c, nat,sulph 30c et silica si vous les avez administrer les 3 ensembles pendant une periodes de 7 jours ou 14 jours consécutifs?
Concernant les jus de fruits detox avec la spiruline, j’imagine que cest environ pendant 2 semaines avant l’administration de l’homeopathie ci haut?
Merci
I gave the homeopathy 3 times a day for 7 days and then took 7 days off and then did another 7 days on. I did everything with the nutrition simultaneously.
Hi Liv,
Thank you so much for your amazing tips. My 19 months old daughter have been eating really well and is part of her diet some foods that you mentioned. Epsalt baths with lavanda oil as well. I would love to include another tips that you gave to detox from vaccines. Should I start the day after the vaccine? For example the homeopathic remedies? Thank you xx
You can actually start the day of the vaccines. Give the remedies before and after.
Hi Liv!
Thank you for amazing tips about how to remove toxins. I just started with my 14 months old son. His skin is perfect, however after epsom salt/lavender bath, he got some pimples on his back and tummy. Do you know if that is a normal reaction of cleanse or epsom salt irritates his skin and I should stop?
Thank you so much
That can be a sign that his body is pushing out toxins through his pour because our bodies eliminate things through sweat. Just keep an eye on it and if it gets worse then perhaps slow down the cleanse. You can also try a small patch test of mixing coconut oil with 1 drop of the lavender EO to make sure it isn’t a reaction to that on a very small section of his skin. As long as the rash doesn’t get worse I would just keep an eye on it and take it as a sign of his body eliminating.
Hi Liv!
Thank you for taking the time to share this useful information. I have been reading about Andy Cutler’s chelation protocol for removing mercury and other heavy metals from the body, particularly from the brain. And according to him, chlorella and cilantro CANNOT be used to detox heavy metals because they do not eliminate them from the body completely. Instead they just redistribute them. Are you familiar with his protocol? What do you think about using Chlorella and cilantro for detoxing heavy metals ?
Thank you!
Val, I am not familiar with him. I have read that as well from multiple sources but the reason I added chlorella has more to do with binding toxins in the gut providing highly bioavailable nutrition which is key whenever you are trying to heal.
Hi,
Thank you for the amazing information. My daughter was recently diagnosed with Lichen Planus and had horrible inflammation from neck to feet. The Covid vaccine made it spread like wildfire. I’m so upset I allowed her to get it. She started in November and it’s getting worse. She had black marks all over. She’s 10 and I’m trying an anti inflammatory diet but would love your thoughts on how to get her back to herself.
Thank you!
I am so sorry to hear that. I would also look into some of Dr. Zelenko’s protocols for covid and perhaps that will lessen the side affects from that particular vaccine. It is so new that not many of us alternative health people have all the answers sadly. Hopefully there will be an antidote for it in the future!
Hi!! I would like to start detoxing my 2 year old son. I was wondering How much of the spirulina and chlorella is good to give him? Thanks!
Just do it to taste. Check the nutrition label on the bottle.
Omg your article is a God send. My 23 month old was injected with a hepatitis A vaccine 1 week after he started getting these huge heat rash boil looking bumps under his neck, arm folds and knee folds. Mind you he has never been allergic to heat. Now we go thru ends itchy when the temperature reaches above 45 degrees. Smh I really do not what to do but I will try the detox . do you think its too late to see results because he is now 3.
I don’t think it is ever too late to use diet, supplements, and homeopathy to heal the body. You will likely see improvements I just can’t be specific about what you will see. I merely share from my own experience.
Hey Liv,
I was looking at detoxing for my toddler. Thank God he hasn’t had seizures, he did however develop serious eczema for about a year and after MMR he got sick and his eating pattern never recovered, he is also hyperactive… I am surprised to see you advocate for lavender oil there is enough research that showed lavender and rosemary oil specially are endocrine disruptors and are not recommended specially in boys since they can develop breast, femenine voice and characteristics that œstrogen gives to girls. Just an observation other than that, great info! Thank you
Ana,
I stand by my lavender EO recommendation. To my knowledge there has only been one highly criticized report that had no controls to exclude other environmental exposures of endocrine disruptors such as phthalates which are in many commercial products and it was only based on 3 boys!
This study which used dosages of lavender EO 6000x the daily exposure from skincare products showed no estrogenic activity. I am sure that big Pharma would love to construct studies that discredit natural healing medicines but facts are facts and all I see with lavender EO is a highly healing oil.
Hello Liv
I am so grateful I came across you were article .I will definitely read it once again.Since I’m not fluent in English😊 I would really appreciate your advice I have two daughters aged 8&6 And I can’t wait to start detoxing .would you please give me advice on where to start . Thank you from South Africa
I would just start with including the superfoods I have suggested and evaluating their diet to remove the inflammatory foods if possible.
Hey Liz Any advice my 19 month old son has severe eczema and asthma I’ve tried everything on him nothings really worked!
Both are signs of immune dysfunction which can be caused by a myriad of reasons. You can get him tested for SIBO or candida and do the vaccine detox that I have outlined in this post. He may need to go on an herbal antibiotic protocol and then start with probiotics once you have rid his gut of pathogenic microbes. I can’t really help you. You need to go to a functional medicine doctor and get professional help.
Hello, can you please email me doses for Spirulina etc as well as the Boiron products?
My baby is 19 months started vaccines at 15 mos due to state mandate.
Want to do this detox as I have to keep vaccinating, would like to do on my 5 year old as well who was last vaccinated at 4.
Please share the proper doses etc. I am sick to my stomach over all of this. I cry often and want to move states, due to all this.
Vanessa, Spirulina is a superfood so just add it to smoothies to taste. You can check the nutrition label for that information.
Hi! I was wondering how much of the chlorella I should use each dose and each day for my 7 month old. I make his purées and am planning to add it in those but I don’t want to give him too much. Thank you so much for this information!
I gave my son a small pinch with his purees at that age.
Me again! I was vaccinated when pregnant and am now breastfeeding my 5 month old. I’d like to detox both of us, as i gave him his 3 month vaccines. I’ve since started on researching this topic and realized there is so much cause for concern I have not gotten anymore. Can I detox when breastfeeding from vaccines? Any tips for this?
Hello Liz, thank you for all your information and sharing you amazing knowledge with us. I have immense regret for subjecting my two children (Aged 4 & 3) to the vaccine schedule here in Australia. Now that I’m more informed I’m wondering will a detox 7days on and 7days off cycle be the next best thing to reversing my decision? How much will their little bodies be able to detox? We have a very clean diet however my 4yr old doesn’t eat very much variety. Will detox happen more and more over time as they grow? Thank you 🙏🏼
Unless they have outward symptoms of damage, it is hard to quantify if homeopathy is actually doing things. In my experience, my son stopped having seizures. I can’t specifically attribute this to the homeopathy or perhaps the combination of everything I did for him. But his seizures never came back so I am grateful. I think it is a worth a try. I did this on myself as well even though it had been years since I received any. I didn’t have any side effects from the process and got pregnant with my second child the same month we tried. So far this pregnancy is much better too. I can’t relate that to the detox but I just notice my body feeling much better these days. I used to have joint pain and now I don’t. So I think it is worth it to do it no matter how long it has been honestly.
Hello there, thank you for the information. my baby is 5 months old, at what age can you start using this protocol?
If you baby hasn’t started eating solids yet I would wait on all the supplements. You can take them yourself because they are basically just superfoods which is great for nursing mamas.
If your baby is that young, you have the choice to stop vaccinating now. Every shot does damage to babies bodies
We personally don’t vaccinate until age 7. My daughter is almost 10 and getting her first MMR vaccine. I find that children can handle the vaccines better at a more matur age.
Oh my there is so much to learn. With the 5 steps above… Should it be followed in that order? If so how many days for each step? Asking for 12yr old and 1 year old.
Everything nutritionally can be done as you can get it down. I gave the supplements as I could to my son who was very young. The homeopathy you do on for a week and then off for a week and continue until you see improvement. The nutritional supplements can be continued as well until you see improvements.
Hello, my 2 year old son has just been diagnosed with autism. I am trying to find ways to detox him from vaccines as well as heal his gut as much as I can. Any tips for this?
Amanda,
Other than what I wrote about, you can also contact a homeopath and try CEASE therapy. This needs to be done by a professional and it involves identifying things that could have contributed to it and then detoxing for each individual substance with homeopathy. My son had seizures and fortunately they went away after I did the homeopathic cleanse. But if I had tried multiple rounds of that and he still wasn’t healed I would reach out to a professional.
try to research about ozone therapy here is a good saurce https://www.facebook.com/DrRobertJRowen/posts/1249680591896606?notif_id=1586419952835554¬if_t=page_highlights
I want to detox my newly turned one year old. I’ve had my eyes opened! How much and how often should I use the chlorella and spirulina at his age? I am also breastfeeding. Any tips?
You can really give it everyday if you can get your child to eat it. It is a superfood and not possible to overdose from.
My boys are 8,6,4 would all of the above recommendations be good for them even though they are a lot older. I haven’t noticed any significant signs of reactions over the years from vaccines. My youngest does tend to have gut issues and my oldest is adhd which I know could come from that. I wish I would have known more when they were babies before I subjected them to things like vaccines. I just want to know it’s possible now to fix any toxins that still could be left behind.
You can still detox them
Do you have a detox for adults just in case they try to mandate a corona virus vaccine? If not any creditable leads. You can email me Any answers if you can.. ty 👍😁🙏🏻
I would avoid getting that vaccine at all costs. I mean all the things I mentioned still apply but I would try to fight that to the end as option A.
So would I Liv. But what if we cannot? I think the whole Corona thing is a smokescreen for mandatory vaccination. Can you or anyone recommend a detox remedy so we can be prepared?
I agree with you wholeheartedly. My husband is in the military so there is a very real chance we will face that predicament in the future.
Other than fighting till the end & avoiding it as long as possible this is what I would do…
The day before I knew I was getting it I would start with a 24 hour fast. Then the morning of I would take cod liver oil and freshly pressed juice made from organic fruits and veggies. I would also take alpha lipoid adic, glutathione, and NAC as morning supplements. Right before and right after I took the vaccine I would take the Thuja/Nat Sulph/Silicea combo. Then another round of the antioxidants. I would continue to do a juice cleanse to include cilantro for the remainder of that day so that my liver could focus only on clearing the toxins in the vaccine. That evening I would take a detox bath with bentonite clay, epsom salt, and lavender essential oil. I would get as much sleep as possible that night. I would continue the supplement regimen and also add in the chlorella/spirulina twice a day at least. This is really the most you can do from home along with grounding in your backyard and the sunshine. The goal is to minimize other stressors and support the body as much as possible during the acute phase.
I hope that helps!
That was absolutely amazing
Should you double the amount if you are an adult? I got a shot during both of my pregnancies and directly after my babies stopped growing. I believe it was related to the shot. We want to get pregnant again soon, but I want to make sure my body is cleaned from the shots…
Double the amount of what?
This blog about How to Detox Children from Vaccines has helped me a lot, is very well written.
I have an 8 week old and he will get vaccinations on Monday. I’m planning to space them out. Is it safe to give him the thuga and 30c? Or should I start taking it and get it through his breastmilk
It is safe. However what’s even safer is to wait until after 4 years old to get them altogether!
Hi,
I’m wondering why you said it’s best to wait until 4 years old to administer vaccines?
We see a family physician that specializes in Autism. He instructed me that waiting until after 4 gives the child time to develop and reach key milestones without the presence of the toxins in vaccines. So for those that do want to vaccinate, waiting until the child is older may lessen the side effects.
Hi! I’m a nurse too, and can completely relate to this post! I used to be blindly pro-vaccine in every way. I still see a benefit, but the ingredient lists and studies out there proving they’re unsafe are mortifying. I have a son who is on the spectrum. I followed the CDC’s vaccine schedule originally, and now I regret not digging deeper prior to giving them. I’ve been detoxing his system with GAPS since January, and he’s made extreme progress. He was nonverbal (regressed at 15-18 mos), and since starting GAPS, is talking (he’s 4 y/o now)! My main point for this comment though is that we’re moving to a state with a mandatory vaccine law. In the next year or so, he may be required to get the MMR, Varicella, and DTaP boosters. I’m hoping he will be exempt based on the fact that he requires special ed and an IEP, but the laws just keep getting tighter. In your research have you found children regress again after receiving boosters? Just curious on what you’ve found. Thanks!
From the personal testimonies I have read, continual vaccinations only increases the medical issues that children have. I don’t have a definitive answer on this honestly but if I was forced to get boosters I would just research the individual vaccine from the manufacturer for the ingredients. However this is becoming harder and harder because they are censoring package inserts now.
I used thuja for my daughters warts. Is it good for helping babies after vaccination too? Is there a different kind of thuja?
Yes, When combined with the other two remedies this Sue Meyer’s protocol to nullify the effects of vaccines. I used it on my son with success. He no longer has seizures.
I’m just curious why after 4 yo!? I have a 2 year old and one year old. I don’t want to vaccinate at all and they are currently vaccine free however I feel it’s going to become mandatory and in the end we will not have a choice!
My pediatrician was the one who recommends that to parents who want to delay but still vaccinate. He says it gives time for children to learn fine and gross motor skills, as well as the blood brain barrier to mature more deeply by that age.
If you’re 32 old took vaccine how detox it
Why take the risk? Please do some research, you can’t undo the damage or remove the aluminum or Mercury from the brain.
Hi I have felt my oldest daughter had a reaction to the Dtap vaccine we gave her when she was 5 or 6. She is now 10 and I’ve never detoxed her. Would it be beneficial to still try to detox her, and give her that Thuja 30? She has sensory issues and didn’t have them until after the last vaccine. I wonder if they are related. I too am a RN and have gone the more holistic route in health. Thanks!
You can still help the body detox at any point. I would partner with a functional medicine doc or homeopath since it has been so long.
Hi Liz,
I have 15 month old identical twin boys. They received last set of vaccinations at 12 months followed by a flu shot with thimerosal preservative a month later. Hours after receiving the flu shot, one of my boys began having severe balance issues. He has improved somewhat on his own over the past couple of months but is still not 100%. I’m carrying an enormous load of guilt and I’m desperate to help him. Any recommendation from you is appreciated.
Molly,
I’m so sorry to hear that. I would definitely try all the things I recommended in this post. Remember that healing will take time so just keep moving forward each day with doing things you know will promote healing. How is his diet? I would try to eliminate all inflammatory foods such as gluten, corn, soy, and dairy right now. That will give his little body more chance to focus on healing the damage verses maintaining homeostasis from food. Also, it may help to get physical therapy on board or at the very least, watch some YouTube videos of exercises that you can do with him to improve balance. This way he isn’t further regressing with motor skills while his body is working this out. I will keep your boys in my prayers.
Liv
Thanks so much Liv. I feed them everything organic I possibly can. I have completely cut out gluten, soy and corn over the past couple of weeks and the only dairy they were getting was through formula but I have almost transitioned them completely to almond milk. even though it’s only been a couple of weeks, I swear I can already see improvements. Planning to implement more of your recommendations a little at the time 😊.
I unfortunately have to get all of my vaccines for the program I’m in for school. I’ve had previous reactions as a child, and the 2 Hep B shots I’ve gotten have come with lots of side effects. I was wondering if I could ask you some questions about the products you’ve listed. If you could please e-mail me when you have the chance I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!
Monica,
Yes feel free to email me your questions directly. You can find my email on the about page or the contact page.
My 6 month old got his vaccines today and as much as I dread him getting the vaccines & worry about the toxins, I also worry about not getting him vaccinated. With that being said, I want to detox his little body. Are detox baths safe at 6 months? Is everything listed in your post safe for a 6 month old?
Everything I listed is safe for a six month old. I’m interested to know your specific fears about your child not receiving conventional vaccines? There are other options like homeopathic nosodes that don’t carry any side effects.
My son just received his 6 month vaccine shots; is a teaspoon of puréed cilantro daily for 2-3 weeks, added to breastmilk bottle, sufficient to detox my babes lil body?
I can’t really answer that because this detox is based off symptom elimination. Is your baby having symptoms? Has your baby eaten solids yet?
How many drop of lavender should be put in the bath?
I have always started with less. 3 drops is sufficient.
Thank you so much for all this information. Unfortunately I was not educated on the dangers and my daughter has been on an aggressive vaccine schedule. Her last shots were at her 12 month well check (she will not be getting ANY more shots in the future.) I am looking to do anything and everything to detox her if it’s still possible. She is 14 months now and has had a number of issues developmentally as well as physically (FPIES, motor and communication skills delay, sensory processing issues, chronic constipation and eczema which of course was always worse after her shots.) Always told all of this was normal. She vomited and had diarrhea for days after the rotavirus, and developed a fever and rash as well as a hard red lump at the injection site after the most recent shots which included the MMR. I finally woke up and did the research and I am just horrified and feeling so much guilt. She still makes great eye contact and socializes well but I’ve noticed some regression since her 12 month vaccines. I have since left the practice we were at due to all the pressure for flu shots on top of her vaccines and flouride treatments, even after repeatedly saying no. I am so new to all of this but like I said I just want to do what I can from here on out to help my baby girl. I’ve also learned recently that children with the rare disease my daughter has called FPIES have more trouble than most at filtering out heavy toxins from their bodies so that makes me even more concerned. Any advice you have would be appreciated!! I am desperate.
Kaelynne,
I am sorry to hear that your daughter is experiencing so many side effects. I think you did the right thing to leave the practice. If they can’t support your decisions for your daughter then they don’t deserve your business. On top of all the things I recommended in this post I also recommend checking into the anti inflammatory diet. The body is designed to heal itself but it does this much more efficiently when it isn’t battling hard to digest and inflammatory promoting foods!
I am so heart broken today i took my son to get his vaccination (i was pressured by his fathers family aka my mother in law she is pesturing me about it) and my son is in pure pain from the MMR vaccine he is 12 months old and i want to start detoxing IMMEDIATLY can you please send me your personal email? Or email me at **** please my dear his is urgent i am in tears
I have sent you an email but will delete your information from the comment for your privacy. I am very sorry to hear about your situation.
Have you heard of TRS? I’m trying to figure out the best way for heavy metal detox, and TRS has come up many times. I’m curious if you have any experience with it. Thanks!
Yes I have. Zeolites are natural substances that bind heavy metals in the environment. They apparently have a cage-like structure that encapsulate heavy metals. I actually tried the 3 step cytodetox program myself. It involved taking supplements for 3 months 2-3 times a day which were supposed to increase the productivity of the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum inside the cells which will prepare them to displace the heavy metals after they are bound to a zeolite. I never made it to the third part of the program where I was actually supposed to take Clinoptilolite because I started experiencing some concerning symptoms from the herbal preparation. I experienced insomnia, digestive issues, and heart palpitations so I quit the program early. I had every intention of writing a review of this process for my readers because as a nurse, I received a lot of vaccines and wanted to detox myself from heavy metals. I thought I would try this route and see how effective it was before I tried it on my son.
I would only do this if you were being guided by a naturopath who has experience for multiple reasons. 1) It is hard to remove the lead which is naturally bound to zeolites from the environment so if you don’t get it from a reputable company, you could overdose your child with lead. Many products are just so diluted to make them safe for human consumption 2) The particles need to be small enough to pass through the gut lining so you may not be actually getting them into the blood and into the cell but merely paying a lot of money to bind things in the gut that would have naturally passed through anyway. 3) There is a great possibility that zeolites would bind to trace minerals and deplete the body so they need to be properly replaced. So basically I chose to go with homeopathy because you can safely do it at home without a physician and it is cost effective.
Hi! My 15 week old received the 2nd round of the hep b shot and has been so fussy ever since, she’s normally a mellow baby. I breastfeed and want to start getting things to her through my milk.Where exactly do I need to start? Thank you!
I also tried emailing but it wasnt working. Could you please email me. My email is dwingfield84@gmail.com.
Thank you!!
If my son is 2 and 6 months and revived his last vaccine in 2019 can I still follow this instructions and detox his body from vaccines? Also he is currently taking vitamin d and a vitamin with fish oil called superhero. Thank you
Yes you can
What is the dosing of the Silicea 30C for a toddler 13 months old to detox from vaccines? I had her following the schedule until she started having adverse reactions so unfortunately she’s had all vaccines up through 12 months.
Stephanie,
I gave the 30C once a week throughout the entire 3 weeks we were on the program.
Hi! My child is about to turn 4. She’s had all her vaccines up to date (feel awful about this ) and I don’t want to vaccinate her going further .. she’s due at 5 in order to attend kindergarten… what can I do to detox her from what’s she been given? The guidelines on this page are to remove the metals or draw out the entire vaccines? I’m unclear
Also- do you have any recommendations on how to bypass the state mandates to vaccinate to attend school? I’m overwhelmed and scared of how to proceed to fight this for her sake
Thanks !
You can use the homeopathic remedies at any time and all the other suggestions will promote the body’s immune function. It is very hard for the body to process out heavy metals but doing these things will be better than doing nothing. What state do you live in?
Thank you so much for this. This is one of the better articles I’ve read along these lines! Lots of good info. I have a 6 month old that I’m wanting to detox from vaccines. Similar to the above question, I’m wondering how much I can do at this early age. I’d like to try the baths. I’ll start taking CLO, spirulina, and chlorella for him to get through breastmilk. The homeopathic things are completely foreign to me so I’m a little uncomfortable/unsure of how to give them to him and what they do. Could you expand on that a little, as far as what Thuja, Silica, and Nat. S are and how they work in an infant’s body?
Hey Monica,
I had never heard of homeopathy either in my 10 years in healthcare but my family has been using homeopathy for about 2 years now and the healing we have had from it is nothing far from miraculous. Its origins are from a Germany physician by the name of Samuel Hahnemann who theorized that “like cures like.”
An example of this would be taking the homeopathic remedy Allium cepa for allergies as this is the homeopathic dilution of the onion, which causes water eyes and burning.
It is essentially energy medicine because the remedies are so diluted that there is nothing left of the original substance and only the energetic footprint. The body can recognize and respond to it and begin to heal itself faster.
Our bodies are designed to heal. In fact, we are healing machines and only when we constantly interfere with the healing process, do we actually cripple the body. Which is why homeopathy is such a great form of natural medicine because it acts as the catalyst to start a process that the body is already capable of doing on its own.
I use homeopathy every single month for cramps when I in my cycle. I’ve used it for headaches, teething pain, colds, flu, skin infections, and all kinds of other things. In fact, I have even used it for anxiety with a ton of success.
I STRONGLY recommend including the homeopathic remedies in your detox and for anyone else who is being forced to vaccinate give a dose of Thuja right before the vaccination. I have a friend who has a foster baby and is forced to follow the schedule and has done this the entire time. She says it has helped her foster son so much.
If you want to know more about how to use homeopathy for your family I suggest grabbing a copy of the Family Guide to Homeopathy. The pages of mine are worn like a bible and I don’t think I could survive parenthood and foster such a healthy child without having this tool. I wish more people knew about it but things like this gets buried by big Pharma.
Liv is it possible that cod liver can have a side effect like acid reflux?
Anna,
Since it is a fatty oil it definitely could cause that. If your child is experiencing that I would say to cut the dose in half and mix it with some food.
Hey I have a 1 year old and a 6 year old my oldest was vaccinated he was diagnosed with asthma, allergies, ADHD he was formula fed. My youngest no issues may have common colds from daycare breastfed. I want to detox both of them from vaccines. Can I use pure Himalayan salt for the detox bath?
Yes Himalayan salt is great for detox baths because it is full of minerals that replenish the body. I would just add some bentonite clay or baking soda to bind with any impurities in the water as well.
Can we do a detox for a 2 month old premature baby who has been given vaccines right from birth.Please suggest the method.
Is the baby currently in the NICU? Best to just breastfeed and be sure you are eating a nutrient-rich diet. Then when you get home start the homeopathy regimen.
I searched duckduckgo specifically for this & found this article.
We’ve taken custody of a baby straight from the hospital. It’s considered kinship foster care (my hubby is pastor of this baby’s extended family).
The baby is now 1 month (so had all hospital required stuff) and I am soo very much dreading his 2 month dr visit, as I’ve been told we don’t have a choice of whether he’s vaccinated.
Help – what can I do for this poor little guy that we are hoping to adopt?
He’s big (already 11 lbs), but what of this protocol can I do?
I’m trying to get breastmilk donations & also trying to induce milk production myself again (I’m 43, but I bf 5 kiddos).
What can I do?
Thanks!!
You can do the homeopathic remedies (Thuja/Nat) the morning of his appointment and then thuja/nat/silicea right after he gets them. A friend of mine is a foster mom and that’s what she does and it has been working really well to lessen the damage.
I was vaccinated on aug 25 with a tetanus shot. I have been sick since aug 30th (lightheaded, diarrhea, facial numbness, pain in my jaw, back/shoulder pain, hot flashes,etc). I have been told by friends it’s a reaction to the vaccine. I have started the detox process. When can I expect to feel better?!
Mandi,
I am sorry to hear that. We did 2 rounds for my son but if you don’t get better after a couple rounds, you will likely need to have a professional help you! I would get a copy a homeopathy guide and try to use homeopathy for your other symptoms while you do this cleanse. Also while you are going through this process, try to avoid other toxins your body will have to process. Think about personal care products, hand soaps, food, etc. Make sure they are all with super clean ingredients to give your immune system and liver a break. I wrote a post about how to get beautiful hair and skin without using chemically-laden shampoos.
Hi. Should natr sulph and silica disolved in water and give one tsp 3x day? Thanks.
Nat sulph yes along with Thuja, the Silicea we did once every week during the detox.
My oldest son was vaccinated until age 2 and I would always see reactions in him from rash,eczema, to waking up screaming in the night. We stopped vaccinations but, now he is showing up “on the spectrum” with speech delay. Would I still be able to detox him now? After his one year shot? What would you recommend for detox so late in the game?
Oh he is 5 now
I would, because all of the steps I wrote in this post are gentle and won’t cause any side effects. The worst that can happen is they will make a marginal difference. I also recommend the anti-inflammatory diet while you are doing this. What we are going for is healing which is only possible when we minimize the toxic input so that the body can direct all it’s energy towards healing. I sincerely hope it helps reverse some of his symptoms but I will say that it may take a very long time and also you may want to consult a homeopath because you will likely get better results.
Thanks for the article!
I live in NY and have a 4yr old who is entering preK and needs his MMR and a slew of other vaccines. I had a religious exemption up until they banned it in our state months ago. My 7yr old is up to date and has sufferered from eczema, skin discoloration and barely ever has an appetite. Can anyone recommend a good doctor with a delayed vaccine plan in the NY area? Any tips/suggestions to detox would also be appreciated! Thanks!
Jessica,
Would you and all the other NYers be interested in forming a facebook group? It might be a good way to stay connected to everyone as people get new information. I am not based in NY but I know it is a matter of time before this legislation sweeps across the nation.
I live in Brooklyn and am so devastated by this. I would definitely join a local or online community.
I am going to start up a facebook group for everyone in NY to connect. I do run this blog full time and am a mommy so I will try my best to stay up to date on the legislation and keep the group active but it would be good for everyone to stay connected and help each other out. I know there are a lot of women banning together in California right now to fight against the SB 276. It seems like this should be taken to the supreme court.
I live in CA with three unvaccinated boys and SB276 looks like it’s passing. I am devastated, but I’m trying to have a plan in place that will help my kids. Thank you for this vaccine detox for just in case I have to go that route.
I really hope it doesn’t pass. i know there are so many moms out there showing up at the capital and fighting! If you HAVE to vax then do a dose or Thuja right before as well!
Hi I would love to speak to you via email about my wife’s pregnancy and vaccines etc? Could you email me ?
You can email me via my contact form
Did you created the fb group for ny? I would love to get info please
I actually got off Facebook and instagram completely. They are fascist companies that seek to enslave humanity and censor the truth so I no longer participate there. I am on Truth Social now and Telegram.
Hi there. My son is almost 13 and has not been vaccinated until tonight. He had a risky wound from cleaning sheep wool at school. I took him to emergency and the drs recommended he get a tetanus vaccine as well as a tetanus immunoglobulin. I was quite worried because of the exposure to feces which is where tetanus lives. I decided to do the immunoglobulin but they insisted he get the tetanus vaccine as well. I’ve completed in the past the homeopathic protocol for all the diseases and so now I’m not sure what to do? The dr said he needs 2 more doses of tetanus in the next months to be completely covered for 10 years. I don’t intend on giving him any more vaccines but I’m really concerned about the toxins and heavy metals. Is glutathione by IV a good idea? Also how soon should I use your homeopathic detox protocol? Do I need a higher dosage as the amounts you suggested might be for small children? Thank you so much. By the way we live in Canada and apparently my son who is 12 turning 13 can give his consent without me. I couldn’t byit?
If you have done nosodose you could update them but I would contact a homeopath honestly and get professional advice. You can do the detox protocol right away.
What is the Facebook group?? I just had to vaccinate my daughter to keep her in school as well.
It is a facebook group to unite NY moms on this topic with the changes that were made with religious exemptions.
I just stumbled across this great resource you have! My son is 11 entering 7th grade in New York State. He has to get the meningitis shot in order to attend next week. I have vaccinated up until now because I didn’t know everything I do now. I didn’t want to give home the Tdap (or Dtap) booster last year but it was the middle of school year and was pressured into it. This state is now considering mandating HPV and flu shots for school children. I will never do either of those two based on advice from my personal doctor. So my thought is don’t give meningitis and start homeschooling. But then what if HPV and flu fail. My question is what are your thoughts on the meningitis vac? I’ve been doing a lot of reading but I don’t know if he already has the rest of his vacs is this one safer to give in order to be able to stay in school? I just learned this summer upon reading my kids vacs records to submit to summer camp , that my son has extra doses of some of the shots from when he was a baby compared to my daughter. When I asked why I was told because a new vax had come out so they updated him with them at the time. They never explained that to me when administering. So now I think about all the extra junk he has in his system! He is my non-picky healthy eater. My daughter is a VERY picky eater. Between the two, he is the one that gets sick multiple times a year. What woke me up to vaccines was when they were going to kick my daughter out of school because she r eceived her Heb B shot too early and they were requiring her to get another. Instead I took her for bloodwork and proved that she had antibodies, however, the doctors office basically told me I was a horrible mother to put her through bloodwork and then possibly have to give her shot anyway. Obviously I proved them wrong because she didn’t need it and they kept telling me it was safe to do another dose. Any way, please help with my dilemma about meningitis for my son and then my daughter in two years (and she’s due for the Tdap booster too…ugh). Maybe provide thoughts on both those vax? Thank you!
Kim,
The tdap is one of the most ineffective vax on the market, that is why they keep making the booster schedule more and more aggressive. The antibodies last mere DAYS! The Itallian scientist group CORVELVA studied the HPV vax and found gobs of contaminents including human and mouse DNA, bacteria, and carcinogenic contaminants of the virus that can actually cause cancer. I have not personally studied the meningitis vax in depth because by the time my son needed it, I already had the experience with him seizing for months. I personally found the risks to be too high for the benefits for our family. I don’t have a great answer about what to do about school other than continue to protect your child from evil so you may have to make life-changing decisions. If this legislation comes my way, I will homeschool my children and also get involved in a homeschooling coop so that they can make friends. None of this is right or fair, but it the world we live in and there are people out there like R.F. Kennedy that are trying to fight for our parental rights but this problem isn’t about the health of our children, it is about money.
Hi, I am in MA, and I am interested to be part of your group.
Here is the link to the group.
I just had a baby Aug 23rd. We did no give him the hep B at the hospital but we have a follow up appointment with the pediatrician and I don’t know how to go about skipping vaccines, delaying or what sort of questions to ask. My husband thinks he should be vaccinated because we were and it’s required for school. I’m feeling pretty lost and scared. Any suggestions?
Gabbie,
What I have seen people do is to partner with a vaccine-friendly physican for your child’s care. You have plenty of time to do more research so there is no need to feel rushed especially considering Hep B is a sexually transmitted disease and you were tested for this in your prenatal appointments. Research the package inserts, side effects that were reported in studies, and also ingredients used in the vaccines. I wrote about some in this post. Feel free to email me directly for further discussion.
Hi Liv,
My son developed cold urticaria within 4 weeks of an MMR vaccine that he got on a check up visit to the doctor with his father. We did not know when he was experiencing gastro-like symptoms what was the cause. No one else at his private daycare was experiencing vomiting and diarrhea as he was, but we took it to be one of those things acquired from being around. 3 days, 2 emergency room visits later, he recovered but not before hives appreared all over his body at 3am which the doctors explained as the body’s response to a passing virus.
Within months, this child who spent hours at the beach, in sprinklers, and Playing in the snow in the winter could no longer tolerate temperatures lower than 75 degrees. Eating and drinking cold or frozen foods triggered swelling of the lips and fingers, large hives on his skin, and so we thought he was allergic to food additives and dyes found in ice cream or popsicles even the natural ones. On a trip to an apple orchard in October (the shot was given in March, symptoms appeared in April) he developed the mysterious hives again and my mother suggested that he was allergic to the cold air.
A trip to a few allergists proved it was cold urticaria. But I can attest for a fact that this eas not present prior to that vaccine and I have the ED summary and the vaccine administration date to prove it. But few doctors will believe me. He’s now 6 yo and can’t enjoy certain summer time activities, sports, swimming in non-heated pools, the fall or winter, and even some sporting activities, because itchy hives develop after any exposure to cold air, or any cooling of his body e.g. sweat drying off after he’s sweaty. He also perceived temperatur differently so cool for us is really cold to him and a few weeks ago after plunging in a swimming pool (that day it was over 90 degrees) his lips turned blue and he was shaking as if he would go into shock. That was the end of that.
He thinks that he is not/normal and can clearly recollect the time when his life was not like this. We are considering accupuncture. Do you have any suggestions for developing his immune system or a naturopath in NYC that we might visit? I can’t imagine him living his life like this because we love to travel and this affects his everyday quality of life. Allergists don’t seem to have a clear answer except long-term use of allergy medications which I avoid giving unless it’s necessary. I’m willing to try detoxing but 3 years later, is it too late?
Marsha,
My heart is completely broken reading your story but I refuse to believe he has to live his entire life this way. I think the best place to start is to find a professional homeopath to work with right away. This is now considered a chronic condition and even if you did the detox methods I wrote about, you may start to see other problems come out as the body attempts to heal itself which will require very specific and possibly changing remedy protocols. This is definitely a case for a professional. If you go to the national center for homeopathy, you can search for a provider. They also have a list of suggested questions to ask the homeopath to vet them to see if they are able to take your case. Please refer to this link. If you have any questions about homeopathy and how it can help please email me directly!
Also I would start him on the autoimmune diet. Wellness mama has a good post about this diet. This will be key while you do any form of homeopathic detox because it will eliminate foods that can trigger an immune reaction so the body doesn’t have to process this while it works on healing and pushing out toxins.
Oh thank you, Liv. Would love to speak about this directly. I can’t seem to find an email address (I admit that I may have missed it). Would you share?
Check my about page
I allowed my son to get the hep B shot at 2 weeks old. I have just recently figured out how much aluminum is in that vaccine. Is there a way I can detox him this early? He is almost 8 weeks old
Yes I would start the homeopathic clean-up right away, and if you are breastfeeding you can take the cod liver oil, chlorella, and spirulina in smoothies and that will increase your nutritional intake which can be given to your baby passively through your milk.
My son is 2 years old I stopped shots at 18 months and now nystate has took out the religious exemption. and he goes to daycare now. The daycare is now asking for updated shot records, but he hasnt been back since 18 months . do you have any advice. and also will this detox work for any age.??
Oshanay,
My heart completely goes out to you and all those that call NY home but I fear I cannot give you a worthy answer in only a blog comment forum. Feel free to email me directly to have a deeper conversation about this. To give you a short answer, yes the detox does help, but the best answer is to avoid the aggressive schedule altogether. I would try to find a vaccine friendly physician to get advice on what to do. Google those words exactly on duckduckgo.com not google.
We are going through the same thing in nYc what are you going to do?
Jessica,
I have been doing some more research on this subect in light of the fact that so many people in NY now face this problem. There may be a way to side-step some vaccines by providing titers for immunity. This will require a blood draw from a reputable lab as ordered by a medical doctor. Not all diseases are accepted without vaccination by only proof of immunity but I read in this document provided by NY gov under the section related to serological evidence of immunity, that a positive serologic test is acceptable proof of immunity without getting a vaccine for school. I plan to do a post on this in the future but you can use homeoprophylaxis to “immunize” against world disease, which means you will give oral doses of the homeopathic nosode preparation of the disease, which produces a true immune response that can be measured by antibodies. No injections, toxic additives, just the oral dose of the energetic form of the originial disease that triggers the immune system to respond. Now I have not personally done this but I am currently taking the World Disease course by Sue Meyer, a naturopath and homeopath, and plan to have my son’s titer’s draw after I complete the program to provide evidence for immunity. I will continue to update my blog as I get more information and personal experience on this subject. Unfortunetly if you feel that your chlid could be at risk for neurologic or immunocompromise from vaccines then it would be better to opt for homeschooling or to relocate. It is completely unfortunate that it has come to this.
I am researching lupole’s for valid exemptions for NYS immunizations for my daughter entering preschool. I am anti vax but I also have autoimmune diseases and am do worried about her being vaccinated. Her sister had issues years ago with her vaccinations. Is it hard to get a doctor to order a serological immunity test? Is it covered by insurance ? Where do I start?
Stephanie,
If it was me I would start by simply expression your concerns with the physician you are already working with and try to get him to order it. If you get a hard-stop there, then go to duckduckgo.com and search “vaccine-friendly physician” and see if you can become a patient. I found this book to be super helpful when we were making these same decisions. I am not sure about it being covered by insurance.
Hi Liv.
My son is 3 years old and very difficult to take anything new. I really want to start him on cod liver oil, you think it’s ok to add to his food? And at what age did you start giving it to your son?
Thank you.
Anna,
I started super early around 7 months old. It was in the middle of winter and he had his first seizure when I learned about it and started gving it. I used an oral syringe and had him suck down 1/4 teaspoon to start.
It is absolutely ok to add cod liver oil to food. It’s basically like using olive oil to cook food. If your son is sensitive to food then just start with a VERY small amount to make sure he can tolerate it well.
If he is super pick you could try mixing it with strawberry yogurt or cinnamon apple sauce.
You could really even squirt it in his sippy cup with his everyday beverage. You will lose some of it to the side of the cup but some is better than nothing.
Cod liver oil is super powerful nutrition for the little ones! We rarely ever get sick and it’s a daily staple in our household!
Hi Anna,
Loved reading your post.
If you could go back in time, would you have vaccinated your children? I haven’t vaccinated my son. He will be 3 in December and I am now feeling the pressure to vaccinate him. There are some I would consider giving such as meningitis and hepatitis but that’s about it really. Just very scared of any side effects.
Sara,
Not sure if you were trying to respond to me or Anna but please don’t let anyone pressure you to vaccinate. As long as you are properly supporting your son with high quality filtered water, superior nutrition as in, home grown, organic, minimally processed ect, no vaccine could ever do the work of the God-breathed immune system. If I could go back I woudn’t have vaccinated at all and won’t be to any of my future children. I didn’t do my research beforehand and was woken up after I watched my son turn blue and rhythmically shake. Your son is blessed to not yet have to process the terrible chemicals and foreign DNA in vaccines.
Hi Liv,
My 6 & 4 year old have both been vaccinated according to the schedule but I am wanting to detox their bodies from the vaccines. How effective would these tips be for them since they had their vaccines years ago now?
My trigger for the detox was the development of a stutter in my 4 year old and I was really hoping to support his speech therapy with a natural detox
You can still do the detox. I have known many people including myself who have seen improvements in symptoms from using homeopathy years later!
How long would you do all this post-vaccine?
When I did this for my son, I followed the directions from Sue Myers, a homeopathy and Author of Homeopathy for Mommies, which describes the process to be 5-8 days on, 5-8 days off until the aggrevation has subsided. So basically whatever symptoms showed up that triggered you to feel the need to detox should start to go away. For us it took 2 rounds of the process and then I continued to support his body nutritionally with cod liver oil, chlorella, and spirulina to this day! If you are interested in checking out the homeopathic world disease course, you can find it here.
Since this is a gentle, children’s detox protocol, would it be safe for a pregnant mama who received the Tdap?
I would only do this under the guidance of a homeopathic physician during pregnancy.
My daughter just got a Chicken Pox vaccine, but I regret since I’ve been reading more about vaccines. Thank you so much for the posting!!! I’m looking forward to detox my daughter with your tips!!!!
Camila,
I regret a lot too but the best we can do is continue to learn each day and move forward. I was so surprised when I saw Chicken Pox included on the mandatory vax list. I had Chicken Pox as a kid and loved every second of getting out of school to play with my siblings all day. It was nothing and now I have lifelong immuinity.
Hi Liv,
Would really appreciate if you could answer some of my questions.
1) would it be ok to give my 2month old an epsom salt and baking soda bath, after his vaccinations.
Is he too young?
2) should I start with just soaking his feet first and see how he reacts?
3) can I add some cilantro in the bath too? In its real form, not the oil.
4) when should I start giving the bath? The night of him getting the shots? The day after? And for how many days?
Really appreciate if you could help me.
Hey Nurul!
There isn’t any specific guidelines from the general medical community on how to give detox baths to infants due to a lack of studies. That being said, epsom salt is generally safe and I took baths with my son when we were going through the detox process. If you want to give your 2 month old a epsom salt bath, just make it very dilute at first to see how he reacts. Soaking the feet is also a very effective way to draw out toxins from the body if you don’t want to do a whole bath. If he has shown skin sensitivities to other things, I would definitley start with just the feet. As far as the cilantro goes, I am not sure how much benefit adding it to the bath would be over doing the homeopathic detox. Cilantro is highly nutritious to the point of being a medicinal herb and contains vitamins that support cell function. It would be great to start adding to smoothies once your baby gets a little older along with Chlorella and Spirulina.
And yes I would draw a detox bath asap because with every shot, there is a heavy load of aluminum adjuvant and other toxins that are absorbed immediately in the bloodstream. Best get those out asap!
I hope that helps and good luck with the detoxing!
Hello, how early in a child’s life can you do the above mentioned detox things? (Besides smoothies obviously.. but as a breastfeeding mama I can ingest those and then give them to baby, right?). I am currently pregnant and fretting about vaccines. I would only want my baby to have them if she can detox from them immediately.
Alissa,
You can take cod liver oil and the algaes during pregnancy. They are great for pregnant mamas because they are so nutrient dense. Homeopathy is safe for all ages including babies however it’s better to not need to detox by avoiding them all together.
My 5 month old hasn’t started solids yet and is on formula due to not being able to breastfeed. When can I start him on the Chlorella and spirulina? I also read about barley grass juice powder, is that something you’ve tried?
I have not tried barley grass powder but we have done wheat grass. You could mix a small amount of the chlorella in the formula and see if he will take it!
Hi I’d love to respond with my personal experience! I have a 2 and 3 year old, I’ve been giving them detox baths by the time they were 3 weeks old. Lavender oil, baking soda (to neutralize the water quality) and the Epsom salts. I unfortunately can not homeschool, so I’ve followed the dr dears schedule with a vaccine friendly dr (in SC), and gave them detox smoothies in their sippy cups (medical medium) and wild cod liver oil in kid friendly strawberry capsules. Both my girls loved their detox drinks and baths which we’d do a few days on, a few days off. I’d draw the bath up to their chest for 15 minutes, and no soap or lotion on their bodies immediately afterward since the skin is detoxing at this point. My husband was on board with all of this from the get go and even helps me. Would have loved zero toxins to have entered their precious little bodies, but we do everything else we can to keep them safe and healthy. It’s a topic I don’t bring up with friends or family cause they seem to think this is going overboard, but as long as I can I’ll be doing this!! 3 year old is thriving, 2 year old needs help with her speech but we’re getting there slowly. Good luck to all the mamas!
Jennifer,
Thank you for sharing your experience and that is so good to hear! I completely agree with you. Sometimes we have to do things we may not want to to live and function in modern society and this is unfortunate. But all is not lost and there are so many things we can do to protect our health. For example, as soon as my family starts to get sick, I have a whole protocol of remedies and we ususally kick it before it even takes root!
Thanks so much for this information.
I have just had my first baby and I am so worried about vaccines. Similar to a couple comments above, I’m worried about vaccinating and I’m worried what will happen if I didn’t.
I’m so worried about my sons 6 week check up as they have already mentioned doing his vaccinations.
I have reacted to the flu shot before and I don’t want him to either.
I am breast feeding. Is this something I could do for myself to help with the quality of breast milk to help detox baby?
Thanks so much.
Natasha,
There is lots you can do!
To start: eat organic food, grass fed meats, wild caught fish, raw dairy from grass fed cows. Eat more in season vegetables that are grown locally. Stay away from processed foods. Get the sun on your skin as much as possible especially in the winter and take a vitamin D supplement like cod liver oil daily. Prioritize sleep and try not to stress about the little things. All of this will improve your health so you can pass on strong immunity to your baby, who will be covered while you are breastfeeding.
I have a post on things to eat when you are breastfeeding to improve the quality of your milk.
As far as your concerns, I understand your fears. I had them too once upon a time. Try talking to your doctor about the specifics and hopefully they will be able to shed some light. I can’t make the decision for you but I do advise to wait until your heart is peaceful about the decision. Do NOT let a doctor’s office pressure you into vaccinating your child just because a governing organization has put out a recommended schedule. We need individualized care, not blanket medical advice. There is no harm in the delayed schedule or “wait and see” method when you are already breastfeeding.
I can tell you that after I personally spent 100+ hours reading and learning about this subject, I am 100% confident in our decision to forgo vaccines for our entire family and nothing will ever change my mind.
We have a very healthy boy who hasn’t received a single shot in two winters and we are thriving. My son had a few symptomatic viral infections and he healed quickly only using natural remedies. We don’t even use Tylenol and have managed to keep my son comfortable through illnesses.
I hope this helps. Just keep reading and learning more so you feel better with whatever decision you choose!
