Italian researchers recently discovered that mice who were genetically engineered to overproduce seratonin, died at an early age with symptoms similar to human babies who died from SIDS. The mice died after being able to regulate their body temperature and heart rate, which are symptoms of abnormal seratonin levels. Researchers are hoping to be able to pinpoint infants who are more susceptible to SIDS, which kills approximately 2,700 healthy infants a year and previous studies in SIDS victims have also identified a SIDS/seratonin connection.

Interestingly, there has been ongoing controversy in the anti-vaccine community about the connection between vaccines and increased seratonin levels in children. This controversy has primarily centered around the vaccine/autism connection because autistic children also have high levels of seratonin just like SIDS victims. SomeStudies have shown vaccines to cause a spike in seratonin levels within 12 hours after receiving certain vaccines.

This information should be enough for reasonable doubt as to the safety of infant vaccines and is an excellent argument for simply delaying vaccines until a child is between 2-5 years old or foregoing them altogether as many parents are beginning to do. If you do choose to vaccinate your children, then by all means breastfeed, don’t allow cigarette smoke anywhere near your child and don’t let your child sleep face down or on a non-organic crib mattress for 3 weeks following any vaccine.
