I am sorry that your child is going through this, each state has its own laws on this, be very careful and consult with a good local attorney because if your remedy is not normally used or medically proven you could face some issues. take care and I hope that it all works out.

In New Jersey, a parent has a right to refuse vaccinations for their children on religious grounds. However, if there is an issue that the child's danger could be at risk, then it is possible that there could be an issue. These would likely be issues addressed by a medical expert.
