No Masks Please

My perspective differs significantly to ‘majority opinion’.

I have been pursuing health through a wide variety of healthy practices for decades. I have thoroughly searched scientific literature and concluded that wearing masks is not going to provide benefit, and can actually bring harm physically, psychologically, and relationally.

I believe that we should speak up and graciously explain our position.

The reason I do not wear a mask, and smile and interact with everyone I meet, is so I can be a benefit and blessing to others. God did not give us a spirit of fear. I do not fear a virus, nor am I a walking health hazard. God created our bodies with a need for oxygen, for face to face interactions, and to have community. I trust the immune system He designed and I practice good hygiene and respect for others.

Dig a little deeper into the actual infection fatality rate from the so-called unique virus – there is a >99% recovery rate for all ages. We need to disconnect from the fear driven mainstream media narrative. More people will die from despair related circumstances than from a virus. All cause mortality rate is lower in 2020 than it was in 2019. Look up stats for flu deaths this year. Almost non-existent. We really need discernment in knowing what information to trust.

Do not fear. God is not surprised by world events. There are many people who don’t wear masks and do not fear a virus. Find them. They will encourage you!

Flu Shot for Employment

CDC picks flu strains for this year's flu shot. Overweight scientist in a white lab coat with a blindfold aims a syringe at a target and says "How am I doing this year?"

Hi Becky, My husband and I work for a health care system which requires, as a condition of employment, that we take the flu shot annually. So far, I’ve been fortunate to not have an adverse reaction to it — though I usually put a baking soda compress on the injection site immediately afterwards (take it with me and go to the restroom right away after getting the obligatory injection.) My husband developed a heart condition after his last shot 4 years ago and has a permanent exemption signed by his cardiologist. I have two questions: 1) Do you know where I could find examples of well-written Religious Exemption statements? and 2) Do you have a recommendation of where to buy or a recipe for a “drawing salve” that I can purchase or make, to use instead of a baking soda compress — should my Religious Exemption request be denied? Thank you for your website. I’ve shared it with many pregnant women and parents in hopes of sparing their children the consequences of blindly abiding by the vaccine schedule. My youngest son became moderate-to-severely effected [ASD?]after his DPT shot at 19 months. By the grace of God, who guided us through understanding the root cause and working with many providers and therapies over the past 17 years, our son has recovered a great deal and loves Jesus and us today. Thank you again.

Hi,
Thanks for getting in touch, and thanks for sharing my website with others. My work is a passion and I am not remunerated for it in any way. God has placed this topic on my heart and I appreciate all efforts to extend the impact. Since there is so much information available (a blog I wrote for my mom in 2013) on the ineffectiveness and the risk of flu shots, it is beyond belief for me that large medical establishments mandate them for all employees. Since the vaccine manufacturers are 100% liability free, my only conclusion is that this policy is driven either by GREED, or is diabolical in origin.

I do not recommend voluntarily submitting to their jabs just to keep a job. There are other ways to earn an income! Be strong. God will guide you. However, if you are ever force vaccinated, you also need to take vitamin C before and after. In a previous blog I discuss “Preparing to Vaccinate“.

Dr Russel Blaylock makes additional recommendations and various supplements to take to assist with detoxing after forced vaccines here.

RATHER than voluntarily submitting to any vaccine, I strongly urge you to either get an exemption or find a new job!  

Vaccine exemptions: Go to this website for help in getting exemptions. Alan Phillips, whom I have met personally, is a vaccine rights lawyer who has helped hundreds of people get exemptions.  

“Alan Phillips, J.D., provides educational products and services to the general public and legal consulting services to attorneys regarding exemptions to vaccines required: 1) at birth; 2) for daycare, grade school and college enrollment in public, private and military schools; 3) as a condition of employment; 4) for military members, families, civilian contractors/employees, National Guard members, and other military persons; 5) for immigrants, including refugees and foreign-adopted children; 6) for children of parents in child custody disputes; and 7) in other situations in the U.S.

You have seen what the vaccine did to your husband. You have been entrusted by God with a healthy body. As a guardian of your body, protect yourself from the evil scheme by any means possible. To accept the shot and then try to help your body detox seems diabolical. Will you also accept the mark of the beast? God will open doors for those who follow Him and refuse to participate in the beast agenda. 

My friend was able to get a religious exemption which I wrote about here.  However, all employees who have any exemption are required to wear a mask for the entire ‘flu season’. Of course, now everyone is required to wear a mask all the time. In fact, when they go back to face to face work, they want to mandate masks and face shields for everyone! He is now looking for a new job! He counsels teens and children and feels that when they go back to face to face meetings, he will not be able to connect with his clients AND abide by the nonsensical requirements. We are praying for God to open a door for a job near to where we live!

Many prayers for you – protect your health – once it’s gone, it’s very difficult to rebuild. The truth is, we don’t know WHAT is in the vials they want to inject us with. We don’t know where they are made, what safety standards are followed, etc. Allowing a flu shot is an act of BLIND FAITH in an industry KNOWN to put profit over the health and welfare of their end users. Additionally, all parties involved in the manufacture, promotion and deliver of flu shots are 100% free of any and all harm caused by these untested products. All vaccines are 100% liability free.

Some thoughts on mask wearing…

Yoda (from Star Wars) wearing a mask

If you think you are helping others by wearing a mask in public, you aren’t.

You are not helping. You are stoking the fear of others and perpetuating a deception. You have fallen into a trap. 

You are not a biohazard. Your body, in its normal healthy state, is not a danger to others.

You are a child of the most High God, Creator of all things. God’s children honor God by respecting the innate immune system. 

If you are sick, stay home and eat healing foods provided by your Creator. If God made it, go for it. If many hands have touched it in processing and mass production, avoid it. Think carefully about any pharmaceutical product you accept for your body, God’s temple.

How can I write on such a controversial topic? As a Christian, saved by God’s grace, called to love others, avidly researching health topics for decades, I feel it is my God given duty to call out deception and the devil’s schemes.

Many say I must show love to others and wear a mask. They see me without a mask and conclude that I can’t be bothered with the inconvenience. They say “people should be willing to take precautions for the benefit of the community even if it’s not fun.”

Fun is not my priority when I think about masks.

Be on your guard; Stand firm in the faith; Be courageous; Be strong. Do everything in love. 1 Corinthians 16:13-14

Christians demonstrate love for others by demonstrating bold faith in God

God reveals His plan for humanity in the Gospel of Jesus Christ which is received by faith and results in faith. “The righteous will live by faith.” (Romans 1:17)

How do we protect and nurture our health? Seek to know Jesus, the source of salvation and all power. God desires His children to have strength. He wants His children to trust Him and have faith in all His provisions.

The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." Psalm 14:1; 53:1

Are we following fools?

Those who refuse to honor and thank God are futile in their thinking and their foolish hearts are darkened. Professing to be wise, they are fools” because they reject God. (see more Romans 1:16-25)

God has revealed Himself to all. Most (the broad road described by Jesus in Matthew 7) do NOT honor God or give Him thanks. People who do not honor God or give Him thanks become futile in their speculations and their foolish hearts are darkened. They think they are wise. They may even have multiple degrees and a lot of respect in our culture. They are still fools. Are we following fools? Are we trusting fools? Are we committing our health to fools? 

A brief review of the contradicting information supplied to the public should confirm that there is chaos, not wisdom, in the recommendations on what is good for public health.

Have you investigated the health impact of wearing masks?

  • Masks significantly reduce oxygen input to the body. God designed your body to function by breathing in oxygen and breathing out carbon dioxide. Masks reduce oxygen intake and cause in-breathing carbon dioxide. This is dangerous. Look up OSHA guidelines for mask wearing in different occupational settings.
  • Mask wearing results in an accumulation of bacteria and a moist environment that you continually rebreathe. 
  • Mask wearing interferes with communication. People are misunderstood because their words are incoherent.
  • Mask wearing reduces understanding between people because so much of our communication depends on reading the cues in the face.
  • Wearing masks can cause feelings of isolation and helplessness.
  • Wearing masks can bring harm both physically, mentally, and socially.
  • There is no solid science supporting the push to make healthy people wear masks in public.
  • Mask wearing can increase infections and ill health – especially among the general population who touch the mask frequently, re-use masks, and are not able to replace, wash or dispose masks properly.

Masks are a divisive issue that the enemy is using to lead many astray. Above all we must love others, but love does not mean following fools and harming myself. Love is seeking the truth, following Jesus, and living without fear as God’s beloved child. 

Be bold. Be strong. This is the calling for all God’s children. God is with His children. Your bold confidence will inspire others to take off their muzzles and break the mask spell.

I’ve got so much more information. Perhaps there will be more on masks to follow…

What about the immunocompromised? What if my employer mandates masks?

Becky Hastings collects information on health and tries her best to discover and expose deception. Formerly I was deeply deceived, followed the lies of the enemy, and learned firsthand the lies of the enemy. By God’s grace I am saved and seek to bring glory to Jesus Christ, my Savior, and another point of view to all God’s children. All respectful comments appreciated. Together we can help each other discover a healthy path in this crazy upside down world.

This Corrupt Generation?

In one of his very first messages delivered to a public audience not long after Jesus’ death, resurrection, appearance, and return to heaven, Peter proclaims this timeless warning: “Save yourself from this corrupt generation.” Acts 2:40

Peter’s words, recorded 2000 years ago, ring very true today.

Sinners sin. Power corrupts. Leaders and governments control through any means possible. Why are we surprised?

Because we’ve been presented with a veneer that our country, our government, our leaders, our health care system, even the UN and WHO, have only good intentions for ‘we the people’. 

A facade. We believed lies. We were deeply deceived. Programmed from birth through many sophisticated methods available: entertainment, media, news, education, medical standards, ‘science’, etc. 

God is not surprised by current circumstances. His Word has timeless answers and will lead to wisdom and discernment – exactly what we need to navigate our current culture. 

“Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.” 

With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.” Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day. Acts 2:38-41

Read the whole chapter – Acts 2. I read God’s word every day, and these days the ancient writings seem more applicable than ever! As you seek God, He will answer. He promises that ALL who seek Him will find Him.

I don’t have all the answers. While there are many helpful theories about history, world operations, the route to health, I don’t believe any person alive understands all the background information needed to provide a comprehensive explanation. Any person who ignores God, His Creative work from the beginning of time, and His current explanation for world events, will miss out on huge portions of truth – even though they are sincerely seeking truth. Seeking God will lead to finding truth. I keep seeking. May I never hold on so tightly to my opinions that I miss seeing what God wants to show me. I have been deceived. We are all currently deceived about something. Jesus warns in Matthew 7, “Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inside are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will know them.”

If you are ready for a challenge, I have found an incredibly helpful method of exploring the collection of ancient documents joined together in the book we know as the Bible.

Vaccines Contain Fetal Cells

Life size replica of baby at 12 week gestation.

Many deny. Dr Richard Pan stated in the CA legislature (was he under oath??) that it was a myth that vaccines contain aborted human fetal cells. Many doctors state something similar. Even a well known Christian author who writes science text books, denies the use of aborted fetal cells in vaccines. Dr Paul Offit, a primary vaccine spokesperson, actually admits the use of fetal cells, but said there were only 2 abortions involved and they were a long time ago.

Watch this short video excerpt where 3 minutes in, Dr Stanley Plotkin admits that well over 76 abortions took place in the development of the Varicella, Rubella, MMR, and Hepatitis A vaccines. His testimony is part of a 9 hour deposition which he volunteered to do in a child custody case in Michigan involving vaccines in January 2018. He confirms in this statement that his experiments involved lung tissue, skin tissue, tongue tissue, and tissue from other body parts of these healthy babies who were aborted at 3+ months gestation.

Perhaps most surprising is Dr Plotkin’s complete disregard – at any point in his illustrious vaccine career – to investigate whether injecting human DNA fragments could have a deleterious nonspecific effect (unintended consequences, in lay terms). In correspondence, he dismisses the extensive work of Dr Theresa Deischer who notes clear signals in the population after the introduction of vaccines containing aborted fetal cell fragment debris. I summarized some of her conclusions in a previous blog. On what basis does he dismiss her? She’s well known to be Anti-Vax. I don’t think she started out against vaccines, but she allowed the science to influence her opinion of vaccine safety – which any honest scientist would do.

Dr Plotkin admits being an atheist and shows disdain for those having a religious conviction against the principle of using aborted human cells for scientific experimentation. The vaccine package inserts list aborted fetal cell fragments in the ingredients. And here, the man who states publicly that his vaccine text book is more reliable than the Bible, admits there were a very large number of abortions involved in the development of vaccines.

Would you buy your baby shoes made with human baby skin?

Is it ok to have human fetal cells in any product?

It is clear that abortions provided a foundation for vaccine science and that vaccines continue to contain aborted fetal cell fragments. You can find more details here.

Christians. We need to talk. Do you think injecting babies with both male and female DNA fragments is a good idea? Do we NEED this procedure in order to keep our babies healthy? How is this different from sacrificing babies to Molech? I’d love to hear your views.

My goal is not to provoke guilt in anyone. We don’t know what we don’t know. But please, do not let your actions, guided by the medical advice you received, continue to dominate your current outlook. Young parents need wise information. Young Christian families depend on Christians they look up to. We owe it to them to be fully informed. Can we really afford to ONLY listen to the spokespeople for the $60 billion vaccine industry? Please take a few hours to review this critically important topic.

A Choice

A song I heard recently resonated in my heart: “I need You to soften my heart. I need You to open my eyes, to pierce through the darkness, expose the lies and deception.” I think I added some words, but you get the idea! Here is the song in case you want to start worshipfully. It’s all about surrender and trusting that God loves you.

I’m just a mom, and now a grandmother, trying to figure out what is truly healthy for babies and children. I’ve been at this for a long time, since about 1982 when I found out God was blessing my husband and I with our first child.

Imagine this scenario:

There is a disease. It may make some people sick. A very small number of people may die if they get it. The disease can be spread from one person to another, but self-imposed separation can reduce the spread, and most people will recover fully and obtain lifelong protection and never get that disease again.

Now, some smart people didn’t want to see people suffering. They didn’t have confidence in the body’s self-healing mechanisms. They considered themselves able to circumvent God’s design. They developed a ‘preventative measure’ against the disease.

This ‘preventative measure’ may prevent someone from getting the disease, but it is known that it will kill some previously healthy people – we know that some percentage will die from receiving this ‘preventative measure.’ And, it will cause lifelong damage and suffering to an undetermined, but substantial, number of people.

Which do you choose?

Please bear in mind that there are other ways of helping to reduce the impact of the disease and shorten the duration of suffering – ways that are completely safe and beneficial.

What do you choose? The man-made ‘preventative measure’ that WILL kill and harm some? Or, the potential risk of getting the disease, and using known safe measures to treat it?

What number of healthy people dying will it take before the ‘preventative measure’ is unthinkable?

There are many ways of reducing the duration and severity of the illness, which do not result in death or life-long impairment. Would you choose these? Or would you choose the ‘preventative measure’ that will kill and seriously harm some?

Your child could be one of the ones harmed.

But, the plot thickens…

What if you knew that this ‘preventative measure’ is built on the lives of aborted babies, and the final product contains DNA fragments from the cells of those babies?

More on that in the next blog

Before we choose a ‘preventative measure’ that has the known capacity to kill some, we need to research that preventative measure extremely carefully, paying close attention to who is providing the information, and what they may possible gain from their connection to the ‘preventative measure’.

A Loving Entreaty

I seek to lovingly make my case for why a person thoroughly convinced that vaccines are absolutely essential “because they have saved the lives of millions of children,” should re-evaluate their firmly held ideas about vaccines.

I am absolutely convinced. You are also absolutely convinced. One of us is wrong.

I am not accusing you of causing harm to children. I am not trying to load you with a burden of guilt. I am not assaulting your character, your competence, or your training. I am simply asking you to reexamine your stance on vaccines and ask yourself before God, “Is it possible that I could have been deceived?”

I come to this topic not as a doctor, but as a mother, a grandmother, a breastfeeding counsellor eager to help moms raise a healthy baby, and as a citizen journalist seeking to uncover the truth.

But mostly, I come to this topic as a devoted follower and believer in Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit opened my eyes in 1980 to accept God’s grace and salvation though Jesus. As a thoroughly rebellious individual, I wholeheartedly dived into grace, seeking God’s direction, through the Holy Spirit, towards truth in every area of my life. Hard decisions were made easier because of my past wrong choices that were primarily guided by adhering to cultural norms. I questioned every culturally accepted practise, especially where it pertained to the babies God blessed my husband and I with.

Trying to change the mind of a resolute vaccine proponent is a huge assignment for which I need some help. I am not a doctor. That doesn’t make me less able to read and understand science and statistics, but it may make me less able to understand how thoroughly entrenched vaccine thinking is amongst those who have undertaken medical training. Thus, I have chosen a doctor who explains in detail his journey as he began asking questions about vaccines, and what he discovered as he explored with an inquiring mind.

Sam Eggertsen, MD

I’ve been accused of not understanding physiology and seeking to benefit from the fact that most of the population is vaccinated, thus keeping myself, my children, and my grandchildren safe from infectious disease even though we refuse vaccines. However, I believe the science that has been uncovered in the last 15 years presents facts showing the foundation for injecting vaccines is faulty. Dr Suzanne Humphries has done more research on vaccines than any medical professional known and does a brilliant job explaining both the physiology of the human body, detailed analysis of the most recent science available, and the mechanism of vaccines in light of the latest understanding of the gut microbiome, the blood brain barrier, aluminum safety, and many other topics. It will take some time to listen and comprehend her lectures. Some of her lectures I have watched and taken notes four times or more. If you are honestly interested in finding out the true state of vaccine safety and efficacy in light of all the recent science discovered, you can find a lot more of Dr Humphries’ videos for free on Youtube. She has also written two excellent books, Dissolving Illusions (a detailed historical analysis of polio) and Rising From the Dead (a fantastic autobiography reflecting on her training in medicine and her journey to question her training) both available on Amazon. One of the most exciting aspects of Dr Humphries’ story is her coming to find a relationship with Jesus Christ after she began her search for truth in the vaccine realm which she describes in her autobiography.

Suzanne Humphries, MD

There are so many reasons to be skeptical about vaccine safety. Each topic could be a complete book. I will list some of the most powerful, compelling points which convinced me that vaccines deserve to be questioned:

  1. Absolute immunity. The makers of vaccines were granted absolute immunity from lawsuits for any type of damage caused by their products in 1986. This has seriously reduced the motivation for manufacturers to ensure the safety of vaccines. It is a business plan to die for: a product recommended to millions, yet no liability.
  2. Acknowledged harm. Since 1988, after vaccine makers received protection, nearly $4 billion has been paid by the HHS to victims of vaccine injury and death. HHS was charged with the mantel of vaccine safety by the same act of Congress, which gave protection to the makers, and the VICP (Vaccine Injury Compensation Program) was set up to compensate for known and expected vaccine harm.
  3. Lack of safety studies. In July 2018 HHS confirms they have not conducted any safety reports or studies on the improved safety of vaccines in over 30 years, as they were charged by Congress to do in 1986.
  4. Bloated schedule. In 1986 children were recommended to have a small number of vaccines. Since the makers have been protected from liability, the recommended vaccine schedule has ballooned. Children are now recommended to receive 72 vaccines by 18 years for 18 different infectious illnesses.
  5. Manufacture and delivery errors. Vaccine manufacture in inherently unsafe. Cold supply delivery chain is essential for many vaccines. Unsafe batches and unsafe delivery is a very real risk. The Cutter Incident and the Wyeth memo reveal some history of unsafe vaccines in the USA. Additionally, today many vaccines are made in China and the USA FDA has no jurisdiction over the safety. Chinese vaccines have had several serious wide-spread problems. An Italian study in 2017 demonstrates serious contamination in most vaccines analysed. [http://medcraveonline.com/IJVV/IJVV-04-00072.pdf]
  6. Administrative errors become increasingly problematic with the bloated schedule of vaccines given. In Texas a 4-month-old baby was given her recommended vaccines and was also injected with the HPV vaccine intended for her older brother. All the vaccines were put on a tray and all injected into baby. The doctor received no disciplinary action. The mother struggled with baby’s health. All connection to vaccines was denied, and CPS was called to initiate the removal of baby from the mother’s care. Sheila Ealey recounts how in 2000 her son, a twin, was given both MMR vaccines, as well as the DTaP and HIB at their routine one-year doctors visit. Somehow the office staff intended to give MMR shots to each twin, but injected her son with two MMR vaccines. He is severely neurologically impaired, while his twin sister excels in many areas. Administrative errors happen.
  7. Aluminum. There are many questionable ingredients in vaccines, perhaps in small amounts, too many to focus on in this list. One of the more troubling ingredients in vaccines is aluminum, added purposefully as an adjuvant in much larger quantities to ramp up the body’s immune response. If an infant receives all the vaccines on the CDC recommended schedule, the will be injected with 4,925 mcg of aluminum  by 18 months of life. The FDA stipulates a safe limit for intravenous feeding of 25 mcg per day. The aluminum content and quantity in vaccines has never been studied for safety or long-term impact. Current aluminum ‘studies’ are based on ingested aluminum in an adult. More on aluminum, by world renowned aluminum expert, Dr Christopher Exley, Keele University: [https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0946672X17308763]
  8. Human DNA fragments. Many vaccines are derived from the use of aborted human fetal cells. While attempts are made to remove these cells from the final vaccine product, there remains residual contamination of DNA fragments of both male and female aborted babies. The practise of developing pharmaceutical products from aborted fetal tissue may be abhorrent to many, but purposefully injecting DNA into infants with no long-term safety testing is proving to be extremely problematic and perhaps contributory to a host of issues, including auto-immune disorders and NDD. “In the US, autism has spiked up in 3 distinct years, called changepoints. The first changepoint occurred in 1981, the second in 19881, and the third in 1996. These spikes coincide with the introduction of vaccines that are produced in human fetal cells.” Dr Theresa Deisher
  9. Deception and Greed. Jeremiah warned us thousands of years ago, “the heart of man is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked, who can know it.”Many of the NT writers also warn of deception based on greed. Here is just one example: “But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them – bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.” 2 Peter 2:1-3. Throughout history people with power have sought to control, gain wealth, and gain more power through taking advantage of others. The reality of companies seeking profit over health is just as real today and can be easily verified by the track record of pharmaceutical companies and prescription drugs – for which lawsuits can be brought. If pharmaceutical manufacturers have pled guilty, or been fined billions of dollars in cases of purposefully perpetuating harm on a population in order to profit through the sale of a specific drug, why do we trust them absolutely in the area of vaccine manufacture? Jesus told us to judge by the fruit. Is the fruit of the pharmaceutical company above reproach? “Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing but inside are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them.” Matt 7:15
  10. Unavoidably unsafe. The US Supreme Court ruled that vaccines were unavoidably unsafe, yet the media, the CDC, local pharmacies, doctors, and nurses continue to tell the public that “vaccines are safe and effective.” Somewhere, somehow, there is a disconnect. Both statements cannot be true. [https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/10pdf/09-152.pdf]
  11. VAERS. While the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System is a passive reporting system and cannot be an absolute marker of true vaccine reactions, the NIH estimates it accurately reflects only 1% of actual vaccine adverse events because most cases are not reported. https://healthit.ahrq.gov/sites/default/files/docs/publication/r18hs017045-lazarus-final-report-2011.pdf
  12. Media slant. Orchestrated campaigns and the full weight of media seek to drive home one message. Why can’t their be rational discussion and honest questions on the topic of vaccine safety?
  13. Legislative Onslaught driven by Pharmaceutical companies. In the name of ‘safety for the children’ nearly every state is facing rabid lawmakers seeking to push through obviously pharma favorable bills.
  14. Fraud. Admitted fraud by the CDCWhistleblower, Dr William Thompson and the two scientists working on the MMR vaccine for Merck. Paul Thorsen is a major author of papers promoted by the CDC as proving vaccine safety, yet is wanted on many criminal counts by the FBI. See this 22 page report on the criminal activity of this CDC researcher: https://worldmercuryproject.org/wp-content/uploads/world-mercury-project-report-on-poul-thorsen-9-7-17.pdf
  15. Myth of Herd Immunity. Disease rates and vaccine rates in 1980 were low. Most adults were not up-to-date on vaccines, thus did not posses vaccine acquired immunity. Basically, because the overall vaccine rate in the population there was no ‘herd immunity’, yet there were not widespread outbreaks of disease. Herd immunity is a term that only accurately applies to the immunity acquired via natural exposure to diseases such as measles.
  16. Hepatitis B shot given to newborns on the first day of life. Please investigate this one vaccine. Why are mothers who test negative for Hepatitis B still encouraged to give their babies the Hep shot on the first day of life? This disease is well known to be primarily transmitted through sharing needles and sex. Why does a 24 hour old baby get injected? This vaccine contains 250 mcg of aluminum and has never been studied for long-term safety. Recent studies show a potential increase in neurological developmental disorders in animals who received the vaccine equivalent for their weight. These studies were repeated and the team found a latency period suggesting that greater neurological harm develops over time. This finding needs urgent attention. Until conclusive results are found, vaccine recommendation for babies of Hepatitis B negative mothers should be halted immediately. [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29751176]
  17. SV40. Polio vaccines administered in the 1960s were contaminated with a cancer causing virus, simian virus 40. [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Italian+vaccine+contaminated+2017]
  18. Vibrant health of non-vaccinated individuals. It is so obvious and it speaks for itself. Doctors who have a large non-vaccinated population note they are the healthiest of all the children they see by far. Non vaccinated individuals with adequate nutrition, clean water, and a healthy life-style are utilizing their God-given innate immune system for protection against illness. Additionally, breastfeeding is the designed method to feed babies and passes on immunological benefits that last a life-time.

If after investigating each of these 18 points, you are still absolutely convinced of the necessity and goodness of vaccines, we may just have to agree to disagree. I do not believe we should expose even one healthy child to harm in the hope of protecting many. The reality is that we may be exposing a far higher percentage to harm than we every thought possible.

I am absolutely convinced. You are absolutely convinced. One of us is wrong. One day, before God, we will find out.

This decision – whether to question vaccine safety and history or accept the mainstream point of view – is critically important to your personal health, your family’s health, generations to come, and our culture as a whole. Paul’s admonishment to the Ephesians seems appropriate to keep in mind as we delve into this topic:

Let no one deceive you with empty arguments, for God’s wrath is coming on the disobedient because of these things. Therefore, do not become their partners. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of the light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord.

Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible – and everything that is illuminated becomes a light… Be very careful, then, how you live – not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Ephesians 5:6-13; 15-16

Pediatrician Speaks Openly About Vaccine Harm

Dr Bob Zajac is a board certified pediatrician. Prior to his seven years of medical training, he earned a PhD in Special Education. He also earned a MBA. He is highly qualified to speak on the neurological impact of vaccines AND the amount of income potential that can be generated by vaccines.

Dr Zajac admits to being a former vaccine bully, believing vaccines confer immortality and not giving vaccines would cause all the babies in the world to die. He regrettably confesses that he knew very little about the vaccines he was pushing, but that all changed when he experienced vaccine injury first hand in his patients. He witnessed a perfectly normal baby regress into severe autism after his twelve month vaccines. He also had a baby die a few hours after receiving vaccines which was attributed by the coroner, without questioning, to SIDS.

Dr Bob is the father of eight children and along the way he became more cautious about giving vaccines to his own children and refused to give any new vaccines recently released on the market. He started to realize that the vaccine injury rate is far greater than admitted by the CDC. Once he started to read the vaccine inserts, and review published science, he was appalled to realize that there were far more assumptions about vaccine safety than actual scientific proof. Many aspects of safety have not been studied at all, and some aspects are studied, but in quite small numbers, yet these vaccines are routinely given to millions of healthy babies.

Dr Bob graciously admits many parents know a lot more about vaccine science than he does since they may spend hours every day researching the topic. This is a dramatic shift from the arrogance he possessed early in his medical career.

Some other critically important points made by Dr Bob Zajac:

  • The fully vaccinated children in his practice are the sickest, partially vaccinated are healthier, but the healthiest by far are the non-vaccinated.
  • The estimated lost profit to his clinic because of not pushing vaccines and allowing non vaccinated patients is now around $1.7 million each year. He gets reduced rates from insurance because of reduced numbers of fully vaccinated children.
  • A profit is made on each shot given.
  • Discussing vaccines with parents costs a clinic more in productivity.
  • Informed consent and patient choice is essential, yet is missing in most doctor-patient interactions regarding vaccines.
  • Pediatricians and those who give vaccines declare that vaccines are safe, yet they are hurting children. They don’t know the harm they are inflicting.
  • The vaccine industry is the only industry in this country with no liability. Accountability for vaccines is the only way to drive safety.
  • As a faith based person, Dr Bob is stressed about end times when he will have to answer about how he treats the children in his practice. This inspires and motivates him to continue vaccine safety education with his patients even if it means reduced revenue for his clinic.

Dr Zajac is one of a growing number of doctors taking the time to inform themselves of the actual science regarding vaccines, and speaking out about vaccine harm. He is a true hero.

A compendium for my expectant friends

Our oldest grandson born to our oldest son and his wife in 2012.

Dear Friend

I’ve got so much on my heart to share with you. I’ve been working on presenting information for new parents, especially moms, since 2013. I’m not sure I’ve got the presentation exactly right. I don’t know everything. I struggle to adequately share the passion of my heart. Sometimes I feel I might be too passionate. I don’t want to alienate new parents, but perhaps I have.

It’s just that the stakes are pretty high. Listening to the wrong advice can impact our whole life. I try to avoid giving advice. I urge new parents to investigate and understand everything – from car seat safety to medicalised births, and all procedures that are recommended for new babies. Don’t take anything for granted, especially when there are major industries involved.

Since my first baby was born I have been passionate about breastfeeding, one of the most empowering acts a woman can do.

The wonders of breastfeeding are far-reaching and well documented, yet, despite what we know, the actual breastfeeding rates are quite low. Woman are not getting helpful information or the support they need to be successful in breastfeeding their babies. I truly don’t believe it is a failure on the part of women, but a failure on the part of our culture and society. Many times a new mother’s attempts to breastfeed can be complicated by standards of care for pregnant, laboring, and new moms. Misinformation abounds in our society. If every mother and father fully understood how breastfeeding impacts life-long health and well-being, they would be far more committed to searching out information on how to be successful. Listening and following the wrong information could sabotage your best attempts in breastfeeding.

Breastfeeding is a learned art. Breastfeeding is best learned from someone who has been successful at breastfeeding, has helped other mothers reach their own goals for breastfeeding, and has enjoyed the process. All five of my babies and all six of my grandchildren have been breastfed. My daughter-in-law has told me many times that I need to write a book for young moms who are trying to navigate the world of motherhood.

Here are some of my blogs I’ve prepared for someone just like you. I pray you will browse, check out my sources, dig a little deeper, and come to your own conclusions. I am always available to discuss anything. I try to keep an open mind and dig for the truth. I share with you because I care about you and the health and happiness of your future babies.

Our oldest granddaughter born to our second son and his wife in 2010.

Many friends have shared information with me along my journey of motherhood which began in 1982. I am thankful they did. Motherhood is perhaps the most difficult yet most significant job we will ever have in life. I’ve never met anyone who wanted to be a bad mother. I’ve never met anyone who wanted a miserable baby. Yet I’ve met many mothers who face profound discouragement and when they trace back their journey they often find it was because of poor advice they were given early in their motherhood career. I pray you will find strength in your motherhood journey and have wisdom to discern what is best for you and your baby.

Blessings,

Becky

10 Not so frequently shared facts regarding Circumcision

Circumcision is a very hot topic. So hot, in fact, that many parent health forums on Facebook completely ban it from discussion and all posts using the word are deleted. Discussing the genitals of males seems to elicit strong emotion from all angles. For this reason, I believe a lot of people have never really taken a serious look at the discussion — have never investigated the true facts for themselves. My toddler grandson was able to get away from his mother during a diaper change at a church social gathering and enjoyed the freedom of walking around naked. There were several young fathers who noticed him and remarked amongst themselves, “He must be European.” Between them they had seven sons. They totally accepted that the American way is to cut off the foreskin.

1. Circumcision practiced today is NOT the same as Biblical circumcision. Firstly I want to address the actual word. The word circumcision is a familiar term to Christians and people familiar with the Torah or religious practices of Abraham’s descendants. The use of the word in our modern context is not at all the same. The procedure performed on infants today, predominantly in the US, should more appropriately be known as foreskin or prepuce amputation. Many people refer to it as genital mutilation.

Language is critically important in this discussion. The practice introduced to Abraham was not the same practice performed in US hospitals today. During Abraham’s time no one could imagine the complete amputation of an infant’s foreskin. This is part of the reason that ancient artistic depictions of the infant Jesus show him to be intact. (http://www.drmomma.org/2009/11/jack-black-on-circumcision.html) Of course the fact of Jesus’ circumcision according to the Jewish law was never questioned, but the procedure was one of a slight cutting of the foreskin which left the appearance of an intact organ. Biblical circumcision was a cutting of the foreskin, not a cutting off of the entire prepuce.

2. Rate of death from the modern practice of foreskin amputation is approximately one infant every two days in the US. According to those who have researched documented cases of death where the stated cause is circumcision, approximately every second day a baby boy dies as a result of circumcision complications. The actual number may be far higher, as circumcision is not always listed as the cause of death. Deaths may be attributed to a secondary cause such as infection or bleeding, which would never have occurred without the surgical procedure of cutting off the foreskin. Parents are rarely warned that there is a real risk of death from the trauma, or from the bleeding.

MORBIDITY: Deaths from circumcision and its complications are estimated at 229 per year based on a ratio from a British study. There are about 178 times the number of circumcision deaths than schoolyard violent deaths each year.   http://www.cirp.org/library/statistics/bollinger2004/

3. The US is the only country with high rates of routine infant foreskin removal. Prevalence of circumcision in other countries according to the WHO is ±30% of the total male population. Parents in the US are completely oblivious to the rate of circumcision throughout the world.

“The strange truth is that the U.S. is the sole country in the world where a large majority of its male population is routinely circumcised at birth for non-religious reason.”

“The neonatal circumcision rate peaked in the U.S. in the late 1960s, at around 80-90%. Since then, the procedure has been slowly declining—in part due to the skepticism of parents who no longer place blind faith in the medical establishment and in part due to the profession’s own writings.”

https://matthewtontonoz.com/2015/01/05/why-is-circumcision-so-popular-in-america/

Good news: “The intact rate among newborn males in the U.S. has increased from 15 percent in 1965 to 44.5 percent in 2006. This is an increase of 294 percent.”  http://www.cirp.org/library/statistics/USA//

4. The positive role of the foreskin. The foreskin is an organ that the majority of men in the US have not experienced. “Removing this healthy, vital, fully functioning organ from a non-consenting person will forever change the sexuality of this future adult man and his partner.” The intact foreskin provides external protection, self-cleansing, internal self-protection, immunological protection, antibacterial function, coverage during erection, erogenous sensitivity, sexual functions, and self lubrication. Foreskin removal deprives a man of these benefits. http://www.drmomma.org/2009/09/functions-of-foreskin-purposes-of.html

5. There are no health benefits from routine infant foreskin removal. Circumcision has no justifiable benefits and is in fact harmful – from pain and suffering to surgical botches to reduced maternal-child bonding and interfering with breastfeeding. Medical authorities throughout the world consider circumcision medically unnecessary and unethical. Botched circumcisions can cause trauma for boys and men throughout their lives.  https://www.doctorsopposingcircumcision.org

6. Blood loss is a serious risk of routine foreskin amputation, especially for infants. Parents are not adequately warned of this danger. Losing a small amount of blood results in a significant loss of a baby’s total blood volume. “An eight pound baby only needs to lose 1 ounce of blood to hemorrhage, and just 2.3 ounces to die as a result of this blood loss. It can, and does, occur at a frighteningly quick pace.” Smaller babies are even more at risk. http://www.drmomma.org/2010/05/death-from-circumcision.html

7. Baby Foreskin is a highly profitable commodity. Infant foreskins are sold at considerable profits for scientific research, vaccine development, and other consumable uses. Details of the many uses and how to harvest the highly valuable fibroblast cells are discussed here. https://vactruth.com/2017/09/28/foreskin-used-in-vaccines/

8. Baby boys should be like their fathers/brothers/etc.? Performing a surgical amputation is not justified because of a surgical amputation performed on the infant’s father, siblings, or other males. Most of us were taught as children, Two wrongs don’t make a right.

9. Male infants are not able to give informed consent AND the experience is painful and traumatic. The most popular surgical procedure performed on male babies is profoundly stressful, provides no medical benefit, and can impair breastfeeding and thus long-term health, yet it is completely cosmetic.

10. There is no current Biblical imperative for Christians to circumcise their infant. In fact, the imperative is to love and treat others the way you would want to be treated. Part of the parental role is to investigate every single medical procedure recommended for your baby and ask questions. Any procedure that provides an income stream to hospitals, doctors, and research labs is going to be promoted. Get the facts. I encourage you to read the entire letter Paul wrote to the Galatians, especially chapter 5 and 7. Here are the highlights:

“But if I still proclaim circumcision … then the stumbling block of the cross has been abolished.” 

“I wish that those who are pushing you to do so would mutilate themselves!”

“And even those who advocate circumcision don’t really keep the whole law. They only want you to be circumcised so they can brag about it and claim you as their disciples.” 

“For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision matters. Rather, what matters is being a new creation.”

Galatians 5:11, 12; 6:13, 15

“Cutting off a functional, protective, and sensitive body part is a far-reaching decision that the vast majority of Europeans believe should be left to its owner when he becomes old enough to understand the consequences. Despite the recent, backward-looking statements by U.S. medical organizations, more and more Americans are beginning to agree.” Morten Frisch, M.D., Danish epidemiologist

“Genital cutting and the amputation of a healthy, functioning body organ from a non-consenting human being is a severe violation of human rights. If we did such a thing to a dog, we would be charged with animal abuse.” http://www.drmomma.org/2010/07/biblical-circumcision-information.html
