I was wondering if anyone could tell me more about alternate treatments such as TNI (if they're a hoax or offer real hope). Also, we have never immunized our other 5 children after reading the possible contraindications. I am especially concerned about the Pertussis in the DPT because the info I have says it increases their chances of asthma 5 times and sids has been connected with the shot. All the Down's info we're getting recommends all immunizations but I am hesitant. Will it protect or tear down my daughter's immune system. (Our other children have hardly ever been on antibiotics, we have few colds, sore throats, ear aches, allergies etc.) However, I don't want to be foolish. I appreciate any information.
