A Natural Approach to Mastitis

The following information is for educational purposes only and should not to be considered as medical advice. For medical advice, diagnoses, or treatment please consult a healthcare provider. Journeyboost is not liable for risks or issues associated with using the information on this site.

Mastitis is inflammation of the breast usually associated with breastfeeding. Mastitis can be extremely painful and may cause fever and other flu-like symptoms. Many doctors will immediately prescribe antibiotics to treat mastitis, especially when fever is present. I personally breastfed all five of our babies, each for an extended period of time, and experienced mastitis several times. Once, when our fourth baby was just under a year old, I developed a quick case of mastitis that progressed into a breast abscess that had to be surgically drained. At the time I was under a great deal of stress with a major move and three active older children to care for. I’ll spare the details, but it is something that all moms will want to avoid if possible! Breast soreness without fever or flu-like symptoms may be caused by a plugged duct and can be easier to conquer without antibiotics if you act quickly. Throughout my 16 years of breastfeeding, I ended up taking antibiotics several times because I didn’t know of other effective ways to heal.

My last baby weaned in the early 2000s and there has been a huge amount of learning and sharing of information through social media platforms and the internet since then. I recently asked for natural approaches to healing mastitis and received a treasure chest of insight which I wanted to collect and store to benefit moms who may be in need.

There are good reasons to try and avoid antibiotics unless there is absolutely no other effective ways of treating. Antibiotics are known to wipe out all the healthy gut flora. Many of us seek to eat healthy food and keep our guts healthy and whole. Wiping out our good intestinal flora with powerful antibiotics can destroy what has taken a lifetime to develop. Intestinal flora is very beneficial to overall health. Many chronic illnesses (think allergies, eczema, other skin issues, etc.) are caused or adversely impacted by ‘leaky gut.’ If you do decide you need an antibiotic, make sure to prioritize boosting your gut flora with pro-biotics, and especially with natural fermented foods such as sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir, and kombucha.

The first response below provides a comprehensive framework for treating mastitis from a midwife that I know personally. Her first point – 24 hours in bed – with your baby (most of the time) is what your body needs most. The only reason to get out of bed is to use the bathroom! Mastitis with a fever is a strong signal to mom to slow down and take it easy. My midwife friend has a lot of experience and has seen the following protocol work.

An addition from the midwife:

Another commenter shares how using ice instead of heat was helpful to her:

Article on homeopathic remedies for Mastitishttps://joettecalabrese.com/blog/3-homeopathic-remedies-for-mastitis/

The commenter below recommends sunflower lecithin – which many women find helpful to prevent plugged ducts. My daughter did find it helpful when breastfeeding her first, but later realized her baby developed a rash after she started taking lecithin. When she stopped, the rash stopped. So, every person is unique. We all have to pay attention and maybe keep a journal so we can get better at listening to what our body is telling us!

Poke root, allicin (from garlic), and ingesting colloidal silver were all shared as helpful natural antibiotics for mastitis. You can get allicin capsules, but “the very best way to obtain allicin is from eating fresh garlic that has been crushed or sliced. Fresh, uncooked garlic should be crushed, sliced, or chewed to maximize allicin production.” See more on allicin here.

Even once you start feeling better, be sure to give yourself time to fully heal and regain strength. Reduce stress as much as possible. As a mom with a young baby, I enjoyed this reminder:

Cleaning and scrubbing can wait til tomorrow
For babies grow up we learn to our sorrow
so quiet down cobwebs,
dust go to sleep
I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep

By far the best assistance for curing mastitis is a hungry cooperative baby. When babies are small they can sometimes be encouraged to suck more by standing and rocking or swaying while the breast is in their mouth. This is more taxing in terms of energy – and not possible when following the 24 hours in bed rule – but something to keep in mind if you are facing what you think might be the start of mastitis and you are eager to encourage more sucking on the breast.

Easy Crustless Quiche

This is my go-to recipe to take to any type of pot-luck gathering. So easy and so delicious. Combine protein and veggies that you have on hand to make a good combination. It’s a very flexible recipe and has never failed me.

  • 6 Eggs (more or less can be used – depending on your supply!)
  • 8 oz of ricotta cheese or heavy cream or cottage cheese
  • salt and pepper

Blend those ingredients in a blender. Add 1 Tbl any type of flour for thickness. Or, you can substitute a few tablespoons of cooked sweet potato and leave out the flour.

Apply butter to your preferred oven proof dish. Layer whatever ingredients you have available in the bottom. Things like:

  • chopped whole onion (can be sautéd, or not)
  • salmon chunks, or other protein
  • cooked sweet potatoes, or chopped broccoli, or zucchini, or any vegetables you have,

Top with 1/2 – 1 cup grated strong cheddar cheese. Amount can depend on your supply, and your budget, but the more the better!

Optional: sprinkle feta cheese around; other herbs or seasoning as desired.

Pour liquid egg mixture over everything. Bake at 400 for about 30 minutes. I like to test doneness with an internal thermometer (I LOVE these things – absolutely changed my life in terms of baking and cooking! No more guesswork. You have a measurable way to determine doneness!). Temperature for quiche is 165 – 185 Fahrenheit.

Allow to cool a bit. Cut into squares. Can be eaten hot, warm or cold! Leftovers are great.

Looking for a Quick Fix

Observations of Human Nature

There is a process of discipline required for spiritual warfare and spiritual transformation as described in Ephesians 6:10-20, 2 Corinthians 10:3-6, 2 Corinthians 3:18 and many other scriptures.

Our human nature is impatient with a slow process. We crave instant easy solutions. What if a touch of power from an anointed man will fix all my problems! A little prick will keep my child healthy. A prayer, a touch, and everything can be changed in a moment!

We don’t want to acknowledge our own weakness and contribution to our current circumstance. We don’t want to spend time developing spiritual muscles through prayer, reading and memorizing God’s word. We don’t want to take total responsibility for our health and our lifestyle choices.

We want an easy route. We want a relatively pain-free option. Instant healing.

Discipleship takes time. Maturity takes time. Resorting health is not instant. A daily connection with our holy God through His word – which is accessed and illuminated only through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ will lead us to truth, abundant life, and blessing on our family.

The original disciples spent three years in the daily presence of Jesus, yet they still lacked understanding. How can we expect a faster route? Jesus told the man he had instantly healed – stop sinning. Our problem is our sin. Our tendency to go our own way, respond to our natural urges, seek quick easy answers, and put ourselves first, rather than reflect on the character of God and seek His refinement of our heart.

Our human nature makes us vulnerable to those who offer easy answers. We succumb to a sales pitch for vaccines, statin drugs, knee replacements, psych drugs, etc. These seem to offer a simple solution and are easier than discipline, exercise, healthy food, and positive life-style choices. Natural birth, breastfeeding, and responsive parenting rather than day care or a nanny, seem too difficult. Cultivating listening to the Spirit of God seems like an unattainable goal.

We crave power. We want to see power and victory in our life. The power we need is the power over sin. Jesus promised the Holy Spirit would give us power to be witnesses to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This power must first be exercised on our own hearts.

Leaders must be careful not to bend to the desires of the people. People want a touch and a quick solution. Leaders feel pressured to provide it.

Colossians 2:23 makes it clear that true maturity does not come through following a lot of rules. “Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.” The root of our dilemma is sensual indulgence. How do we overcome that? The very next two verses are key, Colossians 3:1-2 “Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set you minds on things above, not on early things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.”

Our challenge as leaders (and as parents) is to guide those we are responsible for into an understanding of how to overcome and restrain from sensual indulgence; fleshly indulgence, satisfying the flesh. We have to grow to maturity ourselves, and lead others to maturity by modeling the behavior.

“Therefore with minds that are alert and fully sober set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed. As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do. As it is written, ‘Be holy for I am holy.’” 2 Peter 1:13-16.

“We put no stumbling block (obstacle) in anyone’s way so that our ministry will not be discredited. Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way…in purity, knowledge, patience, kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love; in truthful speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left;” 2 Corinthians 6:3-7.

The entire chapter of 2 Corinthians 6 is extremely instructive. God grants righteousness. This is described in Ephesians 6. The breastplate of righteousness is one of the weapons we require for spiritual warfare. Righteousness is produced over time as we allow the Holy Spirit to guide and control our thoughts and actions.

We need to encourage those we lead that they are God’s temple. God wants to do His work in them. God is able to nourish and protect His temple. They need to honor and protect the temple God has provided for them, not to poison it and expect a good outcome.

Looking for an easy quick solution usually backfires.

Vaccine Quiz

vaccinequiz.org

I’m not sure who put this together, but I really like this quiz. There are 15 questions with multiple choice or T/F type answers. The questions lead to the most significant facts in the vaccine safety debate and each answer is complete with a discussion and sources to prove the answer.

Thanks to Marcella Piper Terry for sharing this recently on her substack.

I highly recommend taking the quiz yourself, then sharing it with friends and family.

This is an excellent resource to help anyone – young parents, medical professionals, grandparents, etc. – actually assess their vaccine knowledge.

Here is my result. Let me know your score in the comments.

Additionally, if you don’t get all the answers correct, this is a great way to learn the main points supporting the wise choice of avoiding all vaccines.

Remember, organic children (no vaccines) are far healthier than fully or partially vaccinate counter parts. Think about that. Let it sink it. The reason we are told we need to give vaccines is so that our babies and children will be safe and healthy. Yet, the reality is that a comparison of children shows that children who are protected from vaccines have less infections, less doctors visits, less ADD/ADHD and other neurologic issues, less allergies, less asthma, etc. Parents who want the healthiest baby possible will do well to fully research whether vaccines will lead to the healthy baby they desire.

The year 2020 will forever stand out as an example that the public is manipulated with false information and that the public will believe the lies. We owe it to our children to research the facts behind the childhood vaccine schedule – as if those shots were going to be injected into our own bodies.

A Beacon of Hope for Parents!

https://www.unvaccinatedchildren.com/

I remember following Larry Cook before the big censorship hit social media. I was thrilled to find his website this morning. He’s done an extremely valuable service for humanity by taking all his experience and information and putting it together in one place (unvaccinatedchildren.com) to help parents make wise informed decisions. He advocates for vaccine awareness and encourages parents raising vaccine free children who count on their natural ‘immune system’ to protect them from illness. I can’t endorse every word he says, but I highly recommend the resources he has painstakingly put together. Over decades of activism, he has learned the reality of vaccine risk through his interactions with thousands of parents of injured children and wants to help parents not only AVOID the trauma of vaccine injury – but experience the joy of raising vibrant healthy vaccine free children.

On his website you will find a FREE course for parents: How to Raise Healthy Vaccine Free Children. This course covers the WHY and the HOW. Most of us have been exposed to so much “mis-information” throughout our lives (aka propaganda) that we may experience terror in our heart at the thought of depriving our child of the magical injections so strongly promoted in our society. It can be really hard to swim upstream especially when these shots are pushed so hard by those we call experts. This course will give parents confidence to raise thriving healthy vaccine free children – living to their maximum potential.

https://www.unvaccinatedchildren.com/courses/how-to-raise-healthy-vaccine-free-children/

Here are some of the topics covered:

Mr Cook also has GREAT ideas for how to be a better communicator of vaccine truth to those you love! His title: How to Convince a Loved One NOT to Vaccinate:

https://www.unvaccinatedchildren.com/heres-how-to-convince-a-loved-one-to-not-vaccinate/

He provides a different but valuable approach to a blog I wrote a few years ago entitled, Seven Essentials for Sharing Vaccine Truth With Loved ones.

Over the years I, like Larry, have met many families who have conducted their own case study with some children receiving vaccines, and others receiving less, and some of their children completely vaccine free. Without exception, every parent conducting this ‘at home experiment’ says categorically that their vaccine free child/ren are far healthier than those who received all or some of the recommended vaccines. The proof is right in front of their eyes.

Larry Cook shares a profound insight into why giving babies so many vaccines has NOT provided protection, and could be one of the most significant causes of allergies and auto-immune ailments occurring on a massive scale today:

Vaccines Do Not Work
Aggressively overstimulating the immune system with adjuvants in order to force a TH2 immune response (while ignoring the important TH1 immune response) to create antibodies to injected antigens does NOT create immunity – it simply creates an allergic reaction.

I had a lovely telephone conversation yesterday with one of my readers who lives in another country. I’m not sure how she found my blog – I’ve experienced a massive decrease in number of views since powerful forces decided all counter-narrative information was dangerous. She is a fellow activist who has investigated the topic of vaccines and is making informed choices for the health of her three children. She is seeking to educate others in her circles and struggles with the deep indoctrination so prevalent in most countries. People are raised to believe that these shots are necessary and helpful, that is “safe and effective”. I believe we are making progress. Events of the last few years have been an “unveiling” of truth. So many more people today are willing to ask questions and not blindly trust government authorities. Now is the time to figure out how to approach this critically important topic in your circles!

October: SIDS Awareness Month

Did you know…

The USA recommends more vaccines for healthy babies than any country in the world. The infant mortality rate in the USA is amongst the highest of all developed countries. Healthy babies will die as a result of receiving vaccines. The only question is how many.

Each year, the CDC expects about 3,400 sudden unexpected infant deaths (SUID formerly known as SIDS) in the United States. In many of these cases parents wonder if vaccines played a role. In 1985, Viera Scheibner, Ph.D. a retired principle research scientist for the government of Australia, with more than 90 published scientific papers in refereed journals to her credit, created a baby monitor called Cotwatch with her husband, electrochemical engineer Leif Karlsson. CotWatch is a breathing monitor for babies who are diagnosed “at risk” for SIDS, or “Cot Death” as it is known in Australia. Over the next three years, the couple monitored hundreds of babies and studied the event reports that their CotWatch devices produced. By studying the data from these baby monitors and all event reports, to their complete surprise, they discovered a critical period after every routine vaccination where babies were more vulnerable to death.

“By 1988 we knew that vaccines are killing babies,” said Dr. Scheibner. (see more: https://journeyboost.com/2018/05/01/vaccines-helpful-or-harmful/)

The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) in the USA pays up to $250,000 per death proven to be caused by vaccine.[1] From 1988 to 2023 the VICP has paid over $5,000,000,000 (5 billion) towards vaccine death and injury. https://www.hrsa.gov/sites/default/files/hrsa/vicp/vicp-stats-10-01-23.pdf

Every vaccine carries a risk. The CDC recommends vaccines to babies and children for 17 different illnesses. Altogether this will result in nearly 80 vaccines before a child is 18 years old. Opting out of the yearly flu shot (as the majority of parents do), the child will still receive 59 vaccines in total. The high number is because most shots require 3, 4, 5 or 6 booster doses for ‘effectiveness.’ Since vaccines are added to the recommended childhood schedule by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and they have at least three meetings per year, it is hard to keep track of all the shots recommended. One thing is certain, babies and children today are recommended to receive vastly more shots than their parents or grandparents. Are children healthier today than they were during the childhood of their parents or grandparents?

Before your  baby is two years old, the CDC says they need 41 vaccines against 14 different infections, delivered via 24 needles.

What is in all those shots? 

Does your doctor know what is in all those shots?

On some visits baby may receive up to 9 different vaccines. Has giving babies this number of vaccines at one time been studied and tracked and proven safe?

There is great risk of harm from the combined amounts of aluminum, other toxic substances, and contaminants, like human fetal cell fragments, in the vaccines. The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-660) created the VICP, a fund based on a contribution of 75 cents from every vaccine sold, that will compensate families in the USA if they can prove that their baby’s death or injury resulted from the vaccines.[1] Each participant in the vaccine program, pays a ‘vaccine tax’ towards the inevitable injuries that WILL happen.

Vaccine injury happens.        How often?

No one really knows. What do we know?

Deaths related to vaccines are rarely admitted to be connected by the doctors who administer the shots. 

Medical personnel are trained to ignore obvious adverse events and often ridicule patients who insist there is a connection between the shot/s given and reactions that occur soon after. 

For most deaths of ‘unknown cause’ there is an autopsy, but coroners are encouraged not to find evidence of vaccine involvement in the sudden unexplained death of a previously healthy infant/child in close proximity to receiving the standard recommended vaccines. 

There are panels of tests that can be run to implicate vaccines as cause of death, but these are not done. In the tragic circumstance of you or anyone you know facing the death of a child after vaccine, a lot of helpful information has been compiled in A Parent’s Guide: What to do if Your Child Dies After VaccinationGuidelines to Autopsy Medical Tests, by Norma Ericsson, President SANE Vax & Catherine J Frompovich, Consumer Health Researcher & Author.

The medical establishment in general is taught that vaccine reactions are ‘very very rare.’ 

The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) was set up so that all adverse events or possible events after vaccines could be reported. A million dollar study commissioned by the CDC estimates that between 1 and 10% of all adverse events ever get reported to VAERS. 

Most parents do not file a claim with the VICP after the death of their baby. 

Doctors, nurses, and parents usually are unaware of the possibility of filing such a claim. 

However, there have been 1,268 claims filed for death from vaccines from 1988-2023. A total of 26,609 claims for injury and death have been filed, with 10,172 receiving compensation. [US Dept of HHS, HRSA, Data and Statistics, updated 10/01/2023 http://www.hrsa.gov/vaccinecompensation/fileclaim.html]

The process of receiving the $250,000 payout for a death from the fund is complex and challenging. Parents who are struggling to come to terms with the sudden unexplained death of their otherwise healthy baby/child, which strangely correlates to the time of recent vaccines, often do not possess the physical and emotional strength necessary to complete the cumbersome application process. Submission of a claim requires a $400 payment up front and there is a limited time for the application to be submitted.

So the numbers of deaths and injuries commonly reported is not a true reflection of the extent of harm caused by these “child wellness shots.”

Melissa holds the remains of her baby in an urn.

The truth is, every vaccine given is somewhat like a game of Russian roulette. Vaccines, however, are different in an important way. In Russian roulette, some of the barrels hold blanks, but in the vaccine game, every shot holds poison. The only question is what will this dose of poison do to this baby? [2]

Conclusion: some babies will die after getting shots. There are thousands of parents who speak boldly describing their loss of a baby or child after vaccines. ‘Experts’ acknowledge some healthy babies may die. In their opinion, the ‘benefit’ for the survivors is worth the risk for a few. These facts make me think about child sacrifice.

Child sacrifice was an integral part of ancient pagan worship. Most people living today find the entire concept abhorrent. 

“You must not worship the LORD your God in their way, because in worshipping their gods, they do all kinds of detestable things the LORD hates. They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods.” Deuteronomy 12:31 

Why would ancient people sacrifice their children? Perhaps they were seeking the favor of the deity. Perhaps they were asking for protection, health, and abundance. Perhaps they feared the deity or the leaders. Perhaps they received pressure in the culture to offer their children; peer pressure to go along with established social practices. 

We can’t imagine the horror.

But child sacrifice continues every single day. Children are sacrificed on the vaccine altar. This fact is well known and documented — a percentage of healthy babies injected with these ‘protective‘ chemical cocktails will die. How many is the acceptable percentage?

Why do parents give their children these shots when some percentage will die and some percentage will experience horrific disability? Perhaps the reasons are not so different from what motivated parents to offer their children in ancient times. Manipulation of facts and emotions can cause whole societies to follow a harmful agenda.

Doctors who have opened their practices to all children regardless of vaccine status have noticed something amazing. The children never given vaccines are the healthiest BY FAR. Those given some vaccines are next. The children who receive the entire schedule of vaccines as recommended are BY FAR the most sick. Most frequent doctor visits, most ear infections, allergies, ADHD, etc.

If you are new to this topic, please explore other blogs written specifically for parents here. I am convinced parents have been so conditioned to fear infectious illness, and accept vaccines, that they end up oblivious of the true threat. They willingly offer their children on the vaccine altar, unaware and uninformed of the risks.

Jesus warns us, “Watch out that no one deceives you.” Matthew 24:4

Paul, 1st Century, wrote some insightful instructions:

“See to it that no-one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Jesus Christ.” Colossians 2:8

“Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.” Ephesians 5:11

“For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved.”  I Corinthians 10:33

Known risks include, but are not limited to: a previous reaction (including rashes) to any vaccine, a genetic predisposition based on mutation of the MTHFR gene, family history of autoimmune disorders, premature birth with other risk factors, family history of adverse events following vaccines.

Are you Brainwashed? 

Believing Lies

Are you open to re-thinking some things you thought you knew?

One strong signal of indoctrination (aka brainwashing) is extreme emotion surrounding a particular topic. If you find yourself unable to discuss or explore a topic, you may have been an unwitting target of propaganda and programming. In order for all of us to make sure we have not been deceived, we must be alert and open to examining every strongly held view we have. What we are searching for is evidence for all claims. Propaganda is dispersed through appealing to emotions. When our emotions are triggered we have a difficult time accessing our frontal cortex and using our valuable thinking skills.

We all hold strong views about particular topics. We can disagree without being enemies. All facts can bear the weight of examination. When we have been programmed through fear we can struggle to set aside that fear long enough to explore facts, read information on all sides of a topic, and seek to make a fully informed wise decision.

Recently I was thrilled to learn that an acquaintance I met several years ago, who continues to be a friend of a good friend, recently confided to my friend, that she has done a 180 reversal on her view of childhood vaccines. This is absolutely remarkable because she was a pediatrician for decades and engaged with me in a somewhat heated debate on the safety and reliability of vaccines on my good friends Facebook page! I must admit I was a bit rattled that a ‘doctor’ was challenging me! But I remained calm and did my best to react with grace and provide research and evidence. She quit responding with a bold statement of her absolute commitment to vaccines for herself, her children and any future grandchildren.

So you can imagine my surprise to learn that she had indeed taken the challenge to thoroughly explore the topic of vaccine safety and efficacy – and concluded she had been lied to! WOW.

My belief is that we have all been lied to. We’ve believed lies. We currently might be believing lies, but we are simply unaware of it. Believing lies in regard to many topics isn’t that big of a deal. But when parents believe lies about what will or won’t help their child to enjoy a life-time of health – that is a big deal to me! So I continue little by little to try and press people to examine their beliefs.

Perfect Parents?

Despite our best efforts, will we ever be perfect parents? What does a ‘perfect’ parent do? We are told that the best mothers will make sure to get frequent prenatal care from medical professionals. A typical pregnancy may result in 10-15 visits. OB/Gyns encourage additional procedures such as ultra sounds, glucose testing, blood tests, and vaccines in the hope of ensuring health for both. This is somewhat ironic if you think about certain tests that are done to determine if the baby may have a ‘problem’ and the mother is encouraged to terminate a pregnancy – hardly a healthy outcome for the baby. But I digress.

We are told that ‘perfect’ parents take their baby to up to 8 well baby visits in the first year of life, Good parents will OF COURSE follow all standard medical procedures advised by their doctor and government.

Is following standard medical recommendations really the best strategy for giving your baby a life time of health? Events around the world since 2020 have caused many people to question how health authorities come to adopt policies that are promoted for “health”. Many of us have been shocked at the recommendations made by health authorities and by the general acceptance of such by the public at large. Many are asking more questions. It is time for every parent to ask more questions.

Below is a typical schedule for Well Child Visits. As a mom who raised five healthy children and been involved as eleven grandchildren have arrived on the scene, I can tell you very confidently that healthy children do not need that many visits to confirm their health. I can count on one hand the visits I made to a child specialist medical professional. Medical professionals promote the well baby schedule because it insures a steady income stream for them. Young naive parents think they are obligated to attend every visit as recommended – not realizing that the medical professional is only a consultant to be used as they desire or need. Any doctor that insists on this number of visits should probably be avoided. These visits could be a method of ‘entrainment’ that keeps parents dependent on a system and unable to develop their own inner parenting wisdom.

What does a baby need? The best gift you can give your baby is a well informed parent, devoted to nurturing your instincts to protect and nourish your babies. Bonding in the early days cements into place a fierce protective instinct. This is one critically important reason you want to protect your baby during birth and immediately afterwards. Whether you choose a home birth, a midwife attended birth, or a hospital birth, you want to ensure the best possible introduction to the world for your precious baby.

A well informed parent will fiercely defend their baby from all attacks – no matter how well intentioned they may seem. New parents are bombarded with advice and information. How can you discern what is the best path for you and your baby? Are the ‘experts’ trustworthy? 

We live in a world that is exploding with information which can make it difficult to discern what information to trust. How do we cope? Question everything! Look for wise, happy parents or grandparents that have wonderful families, good health, and good relationships. Learn from role models you see around you. In order to learn how to breastfeed, find a mom who has successfully breastfed several children and LOVED the experience! Most moms have some struggles at some point in the first few months and there are many ‘experts’ that want to give advice. The best advice will come from someone who will listen thoroughly, and share facts on the extreme importance that breastfeeding will play in the lifelong health of your baby. The absolute best protection you can give to help your baby avoid illness is to exclusively breastfeed. You will find many books written on the benefits of breastfeeding. The fact is undisputed – breastfeeding is worth your serious commitment. Get help early to get it right. A birth as close to natural as possible will give mom and baby the best possible opportunity to get breastfeeding right. I personally know of moms who have overcome phenomenal obstacles to succeed at breastfeeding. You CAN DO IT!

Canada Seeks Truth

The National Citizens Inquiry in Canada recommends an immediate halt to covid-19 jabs.

The purpose of the NCI is to focus and showcase the broad support Canadians have expressed since 2020 for greater transparency and accountability regarding COVID-19 policies. The NCI’s petition is made directly to Canadians themselves, it is not an appeal to provincial or federal government.

I recently learned about the NCI happening in Canada. I was extremely heartened to know that the truth is coming out – one witness at a time. So far they have over 200 recorded witnesses who have given testimony under oath, including many expert witnesses.

The following 3 hour testimony from Dr William Makis from Alberta, Canada was extremely enlightening and informed. As an oncologist who resisted the mandate for health care workers to received the experimental injection, he began a detailed investigation into the impact of these injections. What he found is a shocking new development of turbo cancers. You can follow his work on his substack.

Dr Chris Shaw, a well known expert on aluminum, explains the impact of the experimental injections on brain health in this brief interview after his testimony before the council (see below)..

Michelle Leduc Catlin interviews Dr. Chris Shaw after his expert testimony at the National Citizens Inquiry, where he covers the neurological consequences of COVID-19 vaccination on the population. Dr. Shaw expresses concerns about potential loss of professionals in British Columbia and Canada due to these consequences. As a researcher on Lou Gherig’s disease, Dr. Shaw’s research was halted after refusing the vaccine, which crosses cell membrane barriers, including entering the brain, increasing the risk of neurological disorders.

Here is Dr Shaw’s full one hour testimony entitled, The Future of the Vaccinated: Expert Insights from Neuroscientist Dr. Chris Shaw | Vancouver Day 1 | NCI:

The truth is coming out. Protect yourself and your children from any toxic injection.

Stop ALL childhood vaccines?

I was thrilled to hear Dr Peter McCullough – a thoroughly mainstream cardiologist prior to the great covid reveal thrust upon the world beginning in 2020 – advise parents to forego all childhood vaccines.

This a a great step forward for medical professionals to be able to discuss the conflicts of interest long-held by regulatory bodies. The entire Covid event has overwhelmingly showed the world that there is a problem with vaccines, the regulatory bodies, and the companies that manufacture them. These facts have caused many extremely reputable doctors, like Dr Peter McCullough, to investigate the actual safety studies supporting the entire vaccine industry.

 It’s a wake up call.

“Growing international concerns about vaccine regulatory processes and vaccine safety have emerged following the widespread regulatory failure of Covid-19 vaccines. The Covid-19 crisis has demonstrated that regulatory bodies, once public watchdogs, are now at best incompetent and at worst have been deeply corrupted by pharmaceutical industry interests.”

You can read the well formulated statement by the World Council for Health here. You can watch the interview with Dr Peter McCullough and Dr Tess Lawrie here. Both doctors agree that ALL childhood vaccines should be halted. Dr McCullough is clearly NOT an ‘anti-vaxxer’ as he considers himself like a pin cushion – having received 69 vaccines in his life, including 40 flu vaccines! I don’t think he’ll be getting any more vaccines for himself.

Now many may say – ‘but who is the World Council of Health?’ You can expect that they will be attacked. But can anyone provide coherent arguments against their statement? All personal attacks are signals that there is no logical way to debate; no rationale to support their ideas, so they attack their opponents.

There have been many hundreds of doctors who have spoken out revealing the dangers of vaccines, but there is a huge tide overflowing to a greater number than ever before AND giving those who have researched the topic for many years ever greater validity.

A big win for truth. Let everyone you know with children, or soon to have children. You can bet this will not be on the news!
