The right thing to do for my son

I think people take medications too fast; they should give their bodies a chance to heal, or figure out why they’ve got a headache before they take something for it. I’m really interested in traditional medicine. It seems much more natural to me. My son had his shots as a baby, but when he was supposed to get more before starting school, I did a lot of research beforehand to make sure it was the right thing to do. I read that the vaccines actually make your immune system stronger, like going to a gym, and that made sense to me. My grandmother also told me about how my grandfather survived TB when he was a teenager, that had killed a lot of people in the community, and that made me realize how powerful and dangerous some diseases can be.
