“Being vaccine free means claiming your own power as a parent. One of the greatest gifts we have is to choose for ourselves and not be trapped by what others think. Being vaccine-free means listening to all sides of an issue and making a decision by following both your head and your heart. It means taking responsibility for your health by learning about homeopathy to treat childhood disease and also by being conscious of excellent nutrition and health building practices to contribute to strong and resilient children. Be confident in your choice, whatever it is and do not feel the need to explain or apologize to anyone.”
~Kathleen, Alberta
“Vaccine free means to me that we get to trust in our bodies and in nature. It means we get to take full responsibility for our health. Learning about homeopathy for treatment of the illnesses is integral and reassuring.”
