Dr Toni BarkBy Anne Dachel
This Skype interview is our opportunity to hear from a physician who doesn’t vaccinate her patients. Listen to her describe the health of the children she sees.
Evanston, IL physician Toni Bark has been an MD since 1986. Back then, she was “quite upset” when she saw a child that was unvaccinated. Of course she hadn’t really been taught anything about the vaccine schedule or side effects. She had merely been told that kids have to be vaccinated. In the early 90’s, Dr. Bark went back to school and studied “classical homeopathy.” Since then, she sees medicine and especially vaccines, in a whole new light.
Dr. Bark has seen the damage that vaccines can cause because a number of the families she has in her practice come to her because their first child suffered a vaccine reaction and they didn’t want to vaccinate their other children.
“What I notice is that children who come to me from other practices where they’ve been fully vaccinated often are–well they are the kids in my practice with asthma, panic disorder, OCD, pandas, autism, Asperger’s. My kids who’ve never been vaccinated in my practice, I don’t see those issues. I don’t have one child who was not vaccinated who also has asthma, food allergies, or Asperger’s or autism, or Crohn’s or ulcerative colitis-none of these chronic, either chronic inflammatory or chronic autoimmune diseases.. I don’t have that in my population that never was vaccinated-or even that was probably vaccinated very delayed and selectively. But often those kids are in families where the first child was vaccinated fully and there was a vaccine reaction, so the parents decided not to.
“I can only make comments about my own patient population. I can say in my patient population, the kids with chronic illness are the kids who were vaccinated. And the kids that weren’t vaccinated, I don’t have any of those children on medications. None of them have chronic illness. I can’t think of one that has any kind of chronic illness. Not one.
“I hear very similar stories. I have to believe the parents when-in twenty years, I’ve probably had a few hundred families come to me and tell me a very similar story. Which is, their first child received vaccinations, whether it was at birth or whether it was two months in, or whether it was six months in-at some point they received a round of vaccinations where they had high pitched screaming, fever, arching the back, and they were never the same. .”
Dr. Bark noted that some parents even had videos showing the obvious behavior changes before and after vaccinations.
