brother,

The Prophet has adviced us : "Make use of medical treatment, for Allah has not made a disease without appointing a remedy for it, with the exception of one disease, namely old age." Sunan Abu-Dawud. 3846 .

I hope that will change your mind and make you use medical treatment.

for reminding me off this hadith my brother, however in order to act on this doesn't mean I accept every medication which comes along. If I morally am not comfortable with a medication then I will exercise caution just as I do with food.

In the example of Polio the brother cited and the statistics quoted from the WHO; I agree that during that time when the disease was so prevalent it would make sense to take the vaccination. The alternative would be to stand a good and very real chance of catching Polio.
However, in my opinion (which really doesn't matter) the need for taking this vaccination now is not as great due to it almost being eradicated from society.

I am no expert in the field of medicine and I am at the mercy of those that know better, or who say they know better. Therefore anything myself or my family take has to be balanced and the actions need to be proportionate. In the case of vaccination's this is often a perceived risk and so sometimes I cannot justify taking it.
It may be worth noting that there have been grave concerns in the past associated with the MMR vaccine.

One of the best ways to safeguarding our young against heart disease, cancers, diabetes, allergies and many many other illnesses is to breast feed them,

Yet in England we have the lowest rates of breast feeding mothers than in anywhere else in Europe.

Disclaimer; In case I am misunderstood, I am not suggesting we reject vaccinations and just breast feed our young.
