I had to think through this last ping...”I wasn’t aware that vaccines got rid of the need to visit the doctor regularly.”...Of course part of the reason for vaccines is so that the person can remain healthy. And if you are healthy, why would you need to visit the doctor regularly? And yet people are going to the doctor more now then they have in the past...why? I have been to the doctor five times total in the last ten years...I know some people that have been to the doctor that many times in the last ten weeks. My children go in for their regular physicals and always receive complements from the doctor on how healthy they are...I am not saying that not vaccinating them is the only reason for this but I believe it helps. We had started the vaccinating of our first born and needed to see the doctor several times a month for the first six months (a lot of ear infections) but then decided not to continue the vaccinations and everything cleared up...

Healthy people should visit the doctor regularly for checkups, of course. And in between if anything comes up or you don’t feel well. Catching things early is often critical.

Vaccinations, or not, shouldn’t change that.
