Should I get vaccinated before I go to Gambia? Please help!

Hi People,

i think i will post this in a couple of forums to get a few different responses!

I am off to gambia next week on a last minute holiday, and everything I read says that malaria is rife there, and I should take medication before and after going to prevent it. Plus, I have been told I need a vaccination against yellow fever and other diseases.

Should I have the vaccinations? I have read some awful stuff on them, but at the same time, whilst I see how vaccinations are not 'natural' the world we live in is not 'natural' anymore, many diseases are the result of the things we have done wrong, so I think maybe we DO need to be protected against them.

At the same time - I have been doing a strict cleansing process over the past two months, including liver cleanse and bowel cleanse. I have come of medication I have been on for years, and feel very reluctant to pump my body full of yet more medication.

Please please ca people give me their advice? I really dont know what to do, and I need to decide asap as I am going on Thursday.
