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.

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.

https://www.unvaccinatedchildren.com/

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

[1] “Compensation varies, depending on the injury, and can include as much as $250,000 for pain and suffering, lost earnings, legal fees, and/or a reasonable amount for past and future care. For a death, you may receive as much as $250,000 for the estate and legal fees.” USDHHS, Health Resources and Services Administration, National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, How To File a Claim,  https://www.hrsa.gov/vaccine-compensation

[2] There are known increased risks of harm from vaccines, but the government has avoided most attempts to identify the risk factors for specific individuals. 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.

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.

https://worldcouncilforhealth.substack.com/p/health-revolutionary
https://worldcouncilforhealth.substack.com/p/a-common-sense-approach-to-childhood

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!

A Nurse’s Tragic Sorrow

“I want to help people after I lost my baby.”

34 hours after receiving his 2 month old shots, baby Sawyer passed away in his sleep.

Watch the video with Sawyer’s mom and dad here on the CHD BUS.

His mom, a nurse, wants new parents to be fully aware of his story.

You can always give vaccines once your child is older; Once you’ve fully investigated the necessity and safety. You can’t go back and undo them once injected.

Melissa struggled with infertility due to endometriosis for many years. She was loosing hope that she would ever have a child. She never thought she would carry a baby to full term. “When we finally had Sawyer, he was my miracle.” Sawyer was born perfect. Both of his parents were absolutely delighted with him. Now they carry him around in an urn.

Prior to her pregnancy, Melissa lost her job because she refused to accept the experiment injection. Yet, as a nurse, she never really investigated the childhood vaccine schedule. She had been trained and taught that vaccines were essential, safe, and effective. Tragically, she learned one of the hardest lessons of life. She trained as a nurse in order to help people. Now she wants her pain to help others make wiser decisions. She has now investigated and understands that her nursing training did not fully inform her on the impact of vaccines.

Read about how Sawyer’s parents pressed for further tests. When the medical examiner refused to do more testing and stated “If there was aluminum in his system it wouldn’t be enough to cause his death,” Melissa pushed for 10 months for more testing which later revealed he had 95 mcg/l of aluminum in his blood at the time of death. Melissa states that anything over 50 mcg/l in an adult is toxic. Sawyer was 8 weeks old.

Even though her intuition, as both a nurse and a mom, was that they should wait until the baby was feeling better, Melissa trusted her doctor.

That turned out to be the biggest mistake of her life.

Do babies actually need so many shots? Has there been adequate study of what giving so many shots at one time might do?

A former police detective confirms that her analysis of 250 cases of SIDs 50% of them were within 48 hour of receiving vaccines. 75-80% were within the week following vaccines.

Read more and watch the interview with the police detective here.

Please share with your pregnant friends. We need to protect babies.

Circumcision Censorship??

A graduate student in Ontario organizes a study on the brain of an infant receiving a routine circumcision. An MRI is performed on a baby during the routine circumcision procedure and is compared to the MRI prior to the surgery. The study found a significant impact on the brain.

Analysis of the MRI data indicated that the surgery subjected the infant to significant trauma. The greatest changes occurred in the limbic system concentrating in the amygdala and in the frontal and temporal lobes.

A neurologist who saw the results postulated that the data indicated that circumcision affected most intensely the portions of the victim’s brain associated with reasoning, perception and emotions. Follow up tests on the infant one day, one week and one month after the surgery indicated that the child’s brain never returned to its baseline configuration. In other words, the evidence generated by this research indicated that the brain of the circumcised infant was permanently changed by the surgery.

“Our problems began when we attempted to publish our findings in the open medical literature. All of the participants in the research including myself were called before the hospital discipline committee and were severely reprimanded. We were told that while male circumcision was legal under all circumstances in Canada, any attempt to study the adverse effects of circumcision was strictly prohibited by the ethical regulations. Not only could we not publish the results of our research, but we also had to destroy all of our results. If we refused to comply, we were all threatened with immediate dismissal and legal action.” Paul D. Tinari, Ph.D., Director, Pacific Institute for Advanced Study https://circumcision.org/circumcision-permanently-alters-the-brain/

Yes, this is just one baby. But the results provide a compelling reason to do more study – not less. This may bring up some questions for new parents, especially in the USA where circumcision is prevalent:

Why are baby boys still circumcised? Are there any potential risks from NOT being circumcised (aka intact)? Do any religious require routine circumcision of babies? Does a baby have to be cut if his dad is? Do they have to match dad or brothers? Do most other countries have routine surgery to cut baby boy genitals?

Find out more about circumcision before your baby is born. I’ve collected information in previous posts:

DTaP and TDaP Nothing but Science

The link below should take you to a video produced by The Highwire where Del Bigtree creatively and passionately explains how the push for families to accept a TDaP vaccine in order to keep a new baby safe might NOT be giving the protection desired. From 14-25 minutes of this Hightwire episode, Del analysis a 2013 study of non human primates which compares the immunity of the old DTP vaccine, the DTaP vaccine and natural immunity. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1314688110

https://thehighwire.com/ark-videos/big-pharma-propaganda-exposed/

Del’s passion and enthusiasm can be a bit over the top for some people. This is why I also collected several studies showing the impact of the DTaP/TDaP shot which explains why they do not give the hoped for protection of a new baby in a recent blog.

Will getting a TDaP shot protect your baby?

Is my baby going to be at risk for developing whooping cough? Who will put my baby at risk?

The following information will help you navigate the pertussis/whooping cough shots. When assessing information that may contradict what you have been told by health professionals, keep an open mind. Seek the truth. Many times very well meaning people have been given false information and haven’t fully researched all the facts.

Did you know that the DTaP does not prevent colonization and transmission of Diphtheria and Pertussis? It only potentially reduces the symptoms in vaccinated individuals. A study done in 2000 concludes, “Vaccinated children may be asymptomatic reservoirs for infection.” http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/6/5/00-0512_article

So the vaccinated can carry and spread the bacteria without feeling sick. That is part of the reason pertussis outbreaks are occurring in highly vaccinated populations. It also contradicts the idea that a healthy unvaccinated person is somehow more likely to spread the disease. The vaccine does not prevent against pertussis, it protects against the “whooping cough” symptom that comes along with pertussis. This may result in those who receive the vaccine being a “silent carrier” which is why pertussis is so prevalent. Grandma gets her TDaP shot and still gets pertussis but doesn’t have the number one sign of pertussis (the cough) and goes and smooches your baby – baby now has pertussis. Many scientific studies clearly acknowledge these facts.

In an article entitled, “The 112-Year Odyssey of Pertussis and Pertussis Vaccines-Mistakes Made and Implications for the Future” in the Journal of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society, the author acknowledges: that the vaccine being given is making people more susceptible to pertussis: “Because of linked-epitope suppression, all children who were primed by DTaP vaccines will be more susceptible to pertussis throughout their lifetimes, and there is no easy way to decrease this increased lifetime susceptibility.” Cherry JD. The 112-Year Odyssey of Pertussis and Pertussis Vaccines-Mistakes Made and Implications for the Future. J Pediatric Infect Dis Soc. 2019 Sep 25;8(4):334-341. doi: 10.1093/jpids/piz005. PMID: 30793754.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/30793754/

The ‘baboon study’ may be the most significant explanation of how the vaccine may mask symptoms and instead of reducing transmission – may actually increase transmission to the non vaccinated. Acellular pertussis vaccines protect against disease but fail to prevent infection and transmission in a nonhuman primate model, https://www.pnas.org/content/111/2/787

Del Bigtree from The Highwire provides a detailed passionate video illustration of the findings of the baboon study here from 14 minutes – 25 minutes.

Additionally, TDaP vaccine recipients are more likely to get other strains. https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/15/8/08-1511_article

Those who have natural immunity after contracting the disease naturally are protected. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15876927/

Is there longterm protection for children who receive all five doses of the DTaP vaccine? Waning Protection after Fifth Dose of Acellular Pertussis Vaccine in Children. Nicola P. Klein, Joan Bartlett, Ali Rowhani-Rahbar, et al. The New England Journal of Medicine, Massachusetts Medical Society, Sep 13, 2012. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1200850

Whooping cough in school age children with persistent cough: prospective cohort study in primary care states “Conclusions For school age children presenting to primary care with a cough lasting two weeks or more, a diagnosis of whooping cough should be considered even if the child has been immunised. Making a secure diagnosis of whooping cough may prevent inappropriate investigations and treatment.” BMJ 2006; 333:174 https://www.bmj.com/content/333/7560/174

So what’s a parent to do? Insisting that everyone that will come into contact with baby must be vaccinated will not offer protection from whooping cough and may, indeed, increase the risk that baby will be infected with and get whooping cough.

I believe breastfeeding is the number one immune boost your baby needs for protection against all infection. Breastfeeding is simple, but not always easy. Prioritizing successful breastfeeding means getting information and support in advance to understand and overcome potential challenges. Avoiding all nipple substitutes in the first six to eight weeks will help prevent nipple confusion and rejection by baby of the breast. The best way to become comfortable with breastfeeding is to spend time with mothers who successfully and happily breastfed their babies.

Close contact (holding, kissing, etc.) with recently vaccinated individuals should be avoided, as they are potential silent carriers, but there is no need to panic and stress. Wearing your baby in a carrier when out in public is a great way to keep baby close and protect from unwanted contact.

If baby does develop a pertussis infection, early treatment with a high dose vitamin C protocol has been highly effective. As a parent who experienced whooping cough with four of my children when they were young, I can encourage you that children do survive whooping cough.

One serious reason to be wary of the DTaP and TDaP vaccines is the high level of aluminum they contain. A deep dive into the potential harm of injecting aluminum shows that there are many possible ramifications from auto-immune disorders to neurologic (brain) injury. Parents are not given true informed consent when they are not told of the possible adverse events of injecting aluminum. The biggest question to consider is, do I want to avoid a lifetime illness, possible neurological injury, or an infection of short duration that can be treated?

Paradigm shifts

The desire to be right is the thirst for truth.

The desire to HAVE BEEN right is pride. 

Our PRIDE can easily stand in the way of seeing where we have been wrong; where we might have believed lies.

What the human being is best at doing is interpreting all new information so that the prior conclusions remain in tact. Warren Buffet

These ideas were inspired from a talk given by Amandha Vollmer as part of The End of Covid, a 90 part lecture series covering a wide range of topics. Her talk on Paradigm Shifts resonated and got me thinking. We can always benefit by reflecting on these concepts and asking ourselves probing questions.

We prefer cognitive short cuts. We don’t want to do the hard work.

A simple example, we read the product ingredients and compare products and conclude which is best so that next time we just reach for what we know. Or we trust the front label that says “all natural” and buy it without bothering to check the ingredient list. Or, we assume that if it is sold in the grocery store, it must have been approved and checked by someone.

We give special weight to information that allows us to come to the conclusion we want to reach.

It’s very uncomfortable to think about things we hold dearly. I know of people who have decided there is no hell because they have lost loved ones that were not in a good relationship with God. When we are faced with a challenge to our idea about something, we should ask ourselves, is there a reason I WANT this to be true?

Many highly educated people have such confidence and pride in their own education process – especially those with advanced degrees – that they automatically and unquestioningly accept conclusions by academics in other fields. They assume that the most highly educated and outspoken in a particular field must be right. They’ve been trained to respect the academic process. To challenge the legitimacy of an ‘expert’ in a different field challenges their own level of what they think they know in their own field. They automatically assume the person bringing the challenging idea “has no idea what they are talking about” because they are not ”trained in that field”. This is a logic fallacy. Ideas should be judged on evidence, not upheld because of appeals to authority or “the way it’s always been”. The more strongly held ideas in society are probably the ones that should be examined the most, but are often the hardest to be objective about – for instance, the shape of the earth and the origin of everything.

Studies are manipulated to prove what sponsors want to prove in order to achieve future grant money.

There are two outspoken [former] editors of scientific journals that both reach similar conclusions: up to 50% of all data and results published in ‘science’ can’t be trusted. But they are ‘Peer Reviewed’ everyone shouts. These editors describe how the peer review process has been corrupted. This leaves the average person struggling to know who or what to believe, especially in the area of what drug or procedure will actually bring benefits. There are so many voices, so much conflicting and competing information, what can I trust? Do I trust my dear sweet doctor who receives regular visits from Pharma reps, reads the medical journals, is trained in all the latest wonder meds, and abides by the “standard of Care” practices of their medical system? Do I trust those selling natural products and supplements? 

Of special consideration for Christians…

There are evil people that want to deceive us. The enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy. 

But, God is greater and stronger and delights to give wisdom to His children.

[His servants] will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads. There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.

“Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. Revelation 22:4-5; 14-15

The question is not “Do I love lies?” The real question is “HOW have I loved lies?” “Where in my life do I cling to lies?” “Can I fully seek and accept TRUTH?” “How can I draw closer to God, seek fully His wisdom and guidance, so that I am protected from lies?”

I just read this morning a wonderful promise from Jesus:

“But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth.” John 16:13

Buyer Beware

Have I been impacted by LIES?

If car seats had warnings about causing my child encephalitis, anaphylactic shock, SIDS, febrile seizures, chronic illness, lifelong neurological impairment, etc., I wouldn’t use them.

If my doctor told me to use the same car seat for newborns, toddlers, older children and adults, regardless of size or medical status, I would remember we don’t treat other products or medications as one-size-fits-all and I wouldn’t try to put an infant into a seat too large for an adult.

If my doctor said the exact compilation of harnesses, the direction the car seat is facing, and the type of car it fits into, all make the car seat not only safe and effective but necessary to prevent death, and then I found out they’ve NEVER studied the multiple factors together, AND that the car seat manufacturers had no liability WHATSOEVER for their products, I would question the knowledge and loyalties of my doctor and not follow the recommendation.

If I asked for more information on the car seat and my doctor gave me two pages that said the car seat works great, but failed to give me the full data sheets that showed the car seats were actually quite dangerous, haven’t been studied in babies, and have contraindications in many of the groups doctors use them in, I would at the very least find a new doctor.

If I knew the U.S. Supreme Court clearly declared car seats ‘unavoidably unsafe’ I would wonder why they aren’t making car seat manufacturers accountable for injuries and death, and I certainly wouldn’t make usage mandatory.

If I knew car seat manufacturer whistleblowers had come forward to expose data manipulation that implicated the manufacturers and the government agencies that recommended them, I wouldn’t use them and I’d call for a federal investigation rather than allowing the complicit parties to ‘investigate’ themselves.

If car seat ads accounted for 85% of mainstream media ad revenue, I would understand that they can’t be impartial with their reporting, I wouldn’t blindly trust their recommendations, and I would question all information supplied by mainstream media.

If car seat manufacturers continually paid out billions in civil and criminal fines for manipulating safety data, injuring and killing people with their products, yet the products were not recalled, I wouldn’t use them.

If car seat manufacturers used aborted babies in their manufacturing process, I wouldn’t use them.

If car seats caused the accidents they were meant to protect against, I wouldn’t use them.

If my child had a worsening reaction and decline in health every time I put them in a car seat, I wouldn’t use them.

If my doctor got paid an additional $400 every time I used a car seat, couldn’t tell me anything specific about the car seat, and saw these negative reactions following car seat exposure, but said it was ‘just a coincidence’, I wouldn’t use them and I’d get a new doctor.

If the available car seats used ingredients and schedules that were​ banned in other safer/healthier countries, I wouldn’t use them.

If I knew that after using a car seat my child might seem fine at first, but that car seats may cause infertility, cancer, mutagenesis, neurological damage and autoimmune diseases, I wouldn’t use them.

If people who didn’t use car seats were consistently healthier, I would at least do my own research.

If we weren’t allowed to do actual thorough standard scientific tests for car seat safety or ask ANY questions about them, if all dissenting views on car seats are censored — even personal accounts from parents who are direct eye-witnesses to the car seat damage — but the public is still urged, coerced and/or forced to use them, I would think maybe I should do some digging for myself instead of blindly accepting the research of the companies profiting from products known to injure or kill and for which they face no liability at all.

You can bundle the healthiest ingredients with the best of intentions, wrap them in poison and they’re still just poison. When you make an extremely profitable product liability-free, the result is that there is no incentive to make sure the product is safe or effective.

Don’t exchange liberty for a fallacious sense of security, especially at the expense of our children.
