Complementary Childcare: Vaccinations
- Alternative title
- Complementary Kids: Vaccinations
- Synopsis
- A series originally shown on the Discovery Health Channel seeking to promote a greater understanding of the use of complementary therapies in treating a range of illnesses in children. Each programme deals with a specific illness and health practitioners, all belonging to recognised medical associations, are shown working with the case studies.
The series promotes the idea of helping children to strengthen their immune system at an early age for a healthy later life.
The theme of this programme is to show the range of options open to parents when making educated decisions that their children should be inoculated later than the government suggests. The case study shows a family in which the two older children were vaccinated traditionally, but the third child developed a cough after her diphtheria vaccination which stayed with her for 18 months. Eventually a homeopath managed to clear up the cough up, which was caused as a result of mild vaccine damage. The mother decided not to have her youngest child vaccinated, except for polio and tetanus, and is now using homeopathy to support her children’s immunity and basic health. With Dr Peter Mansfield. - Series
