A friend of mine forwarded me the information a few days ago (and I forgot to post it!) showing just how much crap my old doc was spewing about my refusal to test and her saying that protective services could visit…

I also want to send a very sincere thanks to the women in the forums and the entire website Mothering.com – thru your information and help, I now am even MORE confident in the medical decisions I’m making for my kids!

Anyways, for those in Ohio, here is some information:  http://www.vaclib.org/exempt/ohio.htm  It talks a lot about immunization, but it also discusses testing.  All optional.  Of course. 

Now I’m really angry that my old doc, who I got along with so well (cuz I never disagreed, I guess), threatened something that wouldn’t happen anyways – not that I thought for a minute it would, but it’s nice to know the law is on my side too.

I have found a physician practice that absolutely believes what I do!  I’m so thrilled!  I had to find an Osteopathic Physician – so for those frustrated with their docs and looking for someone who will change vax schedules or not do them at all, do a search.  Here’s the National website:  http://www.osteopathic.org/index.cfm?PageID=findado_main

I love this part of their philosophy:  …doctors of osteopathic medicine, or D.O.s, apply the philosophy of treating the whole person to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of illness, disease and injury….

I believe that Ohio link has every state if you search – I hope this helps some other smart mama interested in educating themselves to make the best possible decision for their family!  Happy Friday!
