Hi Tia, Sounds like a difficult situation.

First, I would find out if you *really* have to have the shot. People—including doctors—are notorious for saying that you *have* to do something when you really don't. They just don't want to deal with something different.

Second, Dr. Tenpenny suggests lots of Citrus Bioflavonoids (Vitamin C) and Vitamin E with Selenium (if I remember correctly; it's been a while since I've watched her video.). I also believe Algin would help.

I believe most of the hepatitis shots contain aluminum as well. You can deal with this using a malic acid supplement like Fibralgia (Fibro-Malic). I would take the recommended dose until the bottle was empty (1 capsule with a meal 3 times per day).

I believe the Hep A also contains phenoxyethanol (anti-freeze additive). Other names for this chemical are:

2-Phenoxy-1-ethanol
Phenoxyethanol
Ethylene glycol monophenyl ether
Phenoxytolarosol
Dowanol EP / EPH
Emery 6705
Rose ether
1-Hydroxy-2-phenoxyethane
β-hydroxyethyl phenyl ether
Phenyl cellosolve

Here is a link to an MSDS:
Safety data for 2-phenoxyethanol

This part is especially reassuring:

Toxicology

"Harmful if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin. May cause reproductive defects. Severe eye and skin irritant."

This also looks encouraging:

2-Phenoxyethanol: a neurotoxicant?

Don't mean to discourage you. This kind of vaccine nonsense just makes me, well, sick.

Some of the vaccines that contain 2-phenoxyethanol are:

• Havrix® Hepatitis A Vaccine, Inactivated SmithKline Beecham Biologicals
• PEDIARIX™ GlaxoSmithKline
• DAPTACEL Manufactured by: Aventis Pasteur
• IPOL Poliovirus Vaccine Inactivated Manufactured by: Aventis Pasteur
• INFANRIX ® HepB Combined Diphtheria-Tetanus-acellular Pertussis (DTPa) and Hepatitis B Vaccine SmithKline Beecham Biologicals
• TETRAVAC® Suspension for i.m. (intramuscular?) Injection - Used only in Germany.

Solutions:

Well, after about 40 minutes of searching, I cannot find a solution for this one.


Hope this helps.
