Parents today are faced with important decisions about whether or not to vaccinate their children. As a naturopathic doctor and a mother, I understand the complexity of this choice and the impact it can have on both your family and your child’s health. Sorting through your options and information can feel daunting, but being prepared and informed is essential.
Some children, in my clinical experience, benefit from tests that help identify inherited or historical imbalances. Protecting your child means making decisions based on accurate information and thoughtful research. Whether you choose to vaccinate or not, the goal is always to support your child’s foundational health. For those who vaccinate, it is natural to want the immune system to respond appropriately and the body to be supported throughout the process. BIORAY® formulas can be used as part of your toolkit to support the organs and systems most involved.
More than 75% of parents share concerns about the ingredients and impact of vaccinations, while those who do not vaccinate still want their children to have optimal immune function as they grow and develop.
| The BIORAY® Vaccine Companion Kits are formulated to help children, teens, and adults by supporting healthy immune function, nurturing the gastrointestinal system, and assisting natural detox pathways—key foundations for strong, resilient bodies. |
Below are the steps and clinical rationale for supporting your child’s health if you choose to vaccinate.
Organs to Support When Getting Immunizations
1. Adrenal System:
Support the adrenal system to help the body’s natural stress response stay strong. Receiving vaccinations is both an emotional and physical stressor.
2. Liver:
The liver, our largest filtration system, is responsible for keeping the blood clean and processing toxins. Supporting the liver helps ensure that any byproducts introduced during vaccination can be processed efficiently.
3. GI Tract:
The gastrointestinal system works hard to support immunity, especially when new substances enter the body. Supporting the microbiome and gut function keeps the immune system resilient.
4. Detoxification:
Vaccines can introduce ingredients that the body needs to process and eliminate. Supporting natural detoxification pathways allows the body to repair and maintain cellular health.
Timing:
Begin support at least 5 days before each vaccination and continue for 3 weeks after.
