Are there any green pediatrician nj area? Thanks!

In light of another recent setback in the courts between establishing a causal link between vaccines and autism one only has to look back to the late ninties for the truth about vaccines and childhood brain injuries. For nearly 3 decades the debate raged regarding a causal relationship between SIDS(sudden infant death syndrome) and the whole cell pertussis (whooping cough vaccinee)as well as other serious childhood brain injuries-particlary long term seizure disorders, shortly after DPT vaccine administration.Finally after thousands of injuries and public consternation, vaccine manufactures reluctantly began implementation of the "Accelluar Pertussis Vaccine in 1998. However this implementation was carefully thought out by the AMA, AAP and Vaccine manufactures . Almost concurrent to the implentation of the far safer accelluar whooping cough vaccine, came the "back to sleep" campaign.This was a nationwide campain to instruct parents to place the infants on their backs when putting them to sleep- rather than the once thought safer belly position. What this really amounted to was a smokescreen to hide what was to become the obvious. A huge decrease in the incidence of SIDS after the implentation of the accelluar pertussis vaccine.The point here is clear. Vaccine manufactures can never be trusted when it comes to wholesale safety with childhood vaccines. Autism is just one more example of this unfortunate reality. There is just too much money at stake and public health policy does look at the the induividual safety of each child recieiving a vaccine.Rather, it deals in the masses of children and vaccine safety becomes a "numbers game". The problem here lies in the fact that the manufactures do not want to compensate the many children who "fall thru the cracks" in this vaccine roulette game.They find it fiscally more responsible to lobby lawmakers for more mandated vaccines and tort refrom to protect themselves and the doctors who administer their vaccines. This is an unfortunate response as it lends itself to more and more parents not vaccinating at all -rather than a more consise and carefully thought out vaccine regime for their children. Not to mention forcing the drug companies to produce safer vaccines. In summary there is little doubt that there causal relational between vaccines and autism. As long as the mindset of the vaccine producers and their enablers- the AMA and the AAP- is one of pofit and public health policy little, if anything, will be done to expose the real cause of Autism- vaccines- and the production of safer(eg.the accelluar pertussis vaccine) vaccines for our children.

Dr. Peter Halas. His practice supplies non preservative flu shots and encourages separating and spacing out vaccines!

I didn't see my son's pediatrician on the list, but she certainly could be. A co-worker of mine and his wife were looking for a pediatrician. I recommended my son's pediatrician, the co-worker met with the pediatrician before their son was born, and they discussed vaccines among other things. The co-worker found her to be not only flexible on the vaccine schedule, but basically said "I'll do what you choose to do when it comes to your son's health." I don't think it gets much better than that.

Thanks, Kim, for letting people know about our resources. As medical advisor for the Deirdre Imus Environmental Center and Chair of the IPC, I've worked hard to create this network of "green" pediatricians. What it means to be "green" depends on who you ask, but to me it does include a willingness to partner with parents and kids in a truly reciprocal, respectful relationship. I'm sure there are some others out there - we're always happy to add them to the list.

Aieeeee!!! No green pediatricians in Minnesota, Wisconsin or Iowa. What a dead zone we have up here.

Thank you for posting the link for a list of "green" pediatricians. There are new moms looking for the list.
