Forward

You have in your hands a compendium of brilliance for raising healthy, strong, bright-eyed children. I wish to congratulate Dr. Judith Thompson, ND and Dr. Eli Camp, ND, DHANP, for writing this much-needed resource for families.

There is no need to poison our childrens blood streams with toxins in the name of prevention when the real prevention to illness is a healthy immune system. As we are exposed to more bacteria and viruses our immune system strengthens with the experience of the previous encounter. This will then allow us to fend off chronic illnesses, degenerative diseases and cancer as we age. We do a disservice to our children if we do not allow their immune systems to encounter the common infectious diseases of the human race.

Infectious diseases are regularly treated and healed using natural principles such as fasting a fever, hydrotherapy, homeopathy, herbal medicine and other methods that support the bodys wisdom. Over the last 30 years as a practicing naturopath and as a daughter of a naturopath, I have treated or have seen treated, thousands of children (and adults) that have developed these contagious diseases. The sickest of these folks are routinely the ones who had the full schedule of immunizations. Even with the most severe cases of measles or pertussis, by using these basic principles of health and healing as outlined in this text, the children have healed quickly and without harm or lasting effects.

If you have vaccinated your child, you will still want to have this information at hand. If your child becomes ill you will have a starting place to begin supporting the natural healing process which is what will heal the illness no matter what approach you take. All medicine only works to cure an illness if it supports the body in bringing the metabolic function to a higher level. If the approach given to the child is suppressive, then the condition of the bodys health can only worsen. We CAN treat contagious diseases with gentle medicine that is strong, fast-acting and uncomplicated. So, let us strive to nurture the vitality of the childs body, strengthen the circulation and digestion, empower the immune system and, in doing so, let us all raise healthy children.

Dr. Letitia Dick-Kronenberg, ND

INTRODUCTION

When we were first in practice, the number of parents who told us they did not want to vaccinate their children was low. They didnt want anyone to know they werent vaccinating, but, they desperately wanted and needed medical support in order to know they were doing the right things to keep their children healthy. They suffered in silence, not telling friends, family members or medical providers that they had chosen to do something different than the conventional standard of care. Fearing ostracization from their families and communities, they didnt know that more parents were slowly making the same decision and quietly coming to us for help.

Over the years, the numbers of parents looking for informationstatistics, risk factors and overall supporthas grown exponentially.

Since many of these conditions are not as prevalent as they used to be, parents and caregivers ability to restore health when faced with these diseases has been lost. Neither parents nor medical providers are aware that these conditions can easily be managed through natural means. Our intent is to provide education and resources for parents who have decided it is best for their family not to vaccinate their children.

A Note to Parents That Have Vaccinated Their Children

If your child has had some injections and not others, this book can still be a helpful guide, especially those sections that discuss how to support your childs immune system through specific illnesses. If your child is in full compliance with the current vaccination schedule, they too can benefit from this book, since statistics show that children in full compliance have the highest rates of actual illness. Whether a child is not vaccinated, partly vaccinated or fully vaccinated, this book provides parents the information to keep children in the best health possible.
