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.

There are thousands of stories of girls, boys, and families that have been devastated by adverse events related to the vaccine targeting HPV. The pictures above are just a fraction. Many media sources seek to paint the complex adverse event stories after HPV vaccine as a psychosomatic hysteria. Are there honest scientists investigating the potential of harm from this vaccines? Below are many published papers with questions about the Gardasil vaccine causing serious adverse events. I’ve compiled this list – which is not meant to be exhaustive – to demonstrate that there are a lot of questions about this vaccine. Despite real safety concern doctors and media continue to push hard for families to accept this vaccine, and some states are seeking mandates for all school children of this vaccine which targets a sexually transmitted illness. Other states are reducing the age of consent in an effort to get young teens to accept this vaccine without their parents knowledge. Parents are faced with a choice. What do I do? Who do I trust? How do I discuss this with my pre-teen?

Moreover, it is critical to intervene promptly and treat the patient when fatal deterioration is observed. We believe that additional studies are needed to assess the possible causal relationship between the HPV vaccine and neurological complications and to evaluate the safety of the vaccine.”

The described symptom clusters are remarkably similar and include disabling fatigue, headache, widespread pain, fainting, gastrointestinal dysmotility, limb weakness, memory impairment episodes of altered awareness, and abnormal movements. This constellation of symptoms and signs has been labeled with different diagnoses such as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), small fiber neuropathy (SFN), myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), or fibromyalgia. It is known that autoimmunity and autoantibodies are present in a subset of patients with CRPS, POTS, SFN, ME/CFS, and fibromyalgia. This article proposes that vaccine-triggered, immune-mediated autonomic dysfunction could lead to the development of de novo post-HPV vaccination syndrome possibly in genetically susceptible individuals.”

15. “Hidden Toxicity of Human Papillomavirus Vaccine Ingredients”. Introduction: “Recent publications originating from Italy, Japan, Australia, Columbia, India, Ireland, Denmark, Mexico, Norway, Sweden, Canada, France, the USA, and the United Kingdom have reported post-HPV vaccination phenomena that share overlapping clinical features with chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME), fibromyalgia (FM), postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), small fiber neuropathy (SFN), and autonomic dysfunction (AD) [1,2]. Typical symptoms include (but are not limited to) prolonged generalized fatigue, chronic headaches, widespread generalized pain, tremors, orthostatic fainting, postural tachycardia, alterations in gastrointestinal motility, gait disturbance, anxiety, paresthesia’s, sleep disturbance, learning impairment, difficulty in concentration, and other cognitive phenomena [1–6]. These reported phenomena have created hesitation by some parents to have HPV vaccination administered to their teenage children. The following case history adds to the growing list of adverse HPV vaccine-induced reports and provides insight into disease causation via an in-depth analysis of the complex HPV vaccine ingredients.”
Conclusion: “The controversy surrounding HPV vaccine-induced illness is no longer one of methodology, it is one of terminology. HPV vaccine-induced illness is a genuinely novel and legitimate entity unto itself that shares clinical features with the ever-expanding list of neurologic fatiguing syndromes. This illness is undoubtedly caused by multiple toxic disturbances of the body’s biochemistry induced by emulsifiers, surfactants, and immune-stimulatory complexes. HPV vaccine-induced illness is not a psychogenic reaction fueled by the news media and attorneys, nor is it one of primary autoimmune reactivity. It is no longer appropriate to make the statement “if you don’t have ‘A’ (something in the textbook), then you don’t have ‘B’ (something new), i.e. you have nothing”. In a recent publication by Ikeda and colleagues, new patients with HPV vaccine related ailments have not appeared after the Japanese Ministry of Public Health withdrew its vaccine recommendation more than four years ago [24]. HPV vaccine-induced illness exemplifies the fact that the complexity of nature far transcends man’s ingenuity.”

17. “Vaccine-induced autoimmunity: the role of molecular mimicry and immune crossreaction”. “It is therefore pertinent for the scientific community to seriously address public concern of adverse effects of vaccines to regain public trust in these important medical interventions. Such adverse reactions to vaccines may be viewed as a result of the interaction between susceptibility of the vaccinated subject and various vaccine components. Among the implicated mechanisms for these reactions is molecular mimicry. Molecular mimicry refers to a significant similarity between certain pathogenic elements contained in the vaccine and specific human proteins. This similarity may lead to immune crossreactivity, wherein the reaction of the immune system towards the pathogenic antigens may harm the similar human proteins, essentially causing autoimmune disease. In this review, we address the concept of molecular mimicry and its application in explaining post vaccination autoimmune phenomena. We further review the principal examples of the influenza, hepatitis B, and human papilloma virus vaccines, all suspected to induce autoimmunity via molecular mimicry.”

Gardasil: Fast Tracked and Flawed, by Helen Lobato, documents the early history of cervical cancer and tracks its progression from a disease of obscurity to one of mainstream prominence. It includes the stories of vaccinated girls and boys who remain ill after receiving a vaccine purported to prevent a disease they were most unlikely to get. It records the voices of dissenters and resisters who call for an inquiry into HPV vaccines approved for use after a relentless propaganda campaign promoting a vaccine against a virus that many had never heard of.
This 140 page book is an in-depth investigation exposes cracks in the pharmaceutical industry and highlights the problems that arise when government regulators and corporate interests are prioritised ahead of patient safety, independent science and common sense.
The HPV Vaccine On Trial: Seeking Justice For A Generation Betrayed by Mary Holland, Kim Mack Rosenberg, and Eileen Iorio. A Groundbreaking Guide to the HPV Vaccine and the science, safety, and business Behind It.
Cancer strikes fear in people’s hearts around globe. So the appearance of a vaccine to prevent cancer–as we are assured the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine will–seemed like a game-changer. Since 2006, over eighty countries have approved the vaccine, with glowing endorsements from the world’s foremost medical authorities. Bringing in over $2.5 billion in annual sales, the HPV vaccine is a pharmaceutical juggernaut. Yet scandal now engulfs it worldwide.
The HPV Vaccine on Trial is a shocking tale, chronicling the global efforts to sell and compel this alleged miracle. The book opens with the vaccine’s invention, winds through its regulatory labyrinths, details the crushing denial and dismissal of reported harms and deaths, and uncovers the enormous profits pharma and inventors have reaped. Authors Holland, Mack Rosenberg, and Iorio drill down into the clinical trial data, government approvals, advertising, and personal accounts of egregious injuries that have followed in countries as far-flung as Japan, Australia, Colombia, India, Ireland, the U.K. and Denmark. The authors have written an unprecedented exposé about this vaunted vaccine.
Written in plain language, the book is for everyone concerned – parents, patients, doctors, nurses, scientists, healthcare organizations, government officials, and schools. Ultimately, this book is not just about the HPV vaccine, but about how industry, government, and medical authorities may be putting the world’s children in harm’s way.

Do I express strong bias that could cause polarization of those who do not agree with me?
How to detect your expression of bias:
Words. Our own language can provide a flashlight into the recesses of our own motivations.
Absolute Language. The words you use are clues that you are expressing a bias that will not be well received by those who do not share your bias. Absolute language such as “any”, “all”, “always” may appeal to those who share your bias – it’s sort of like ‘preaching to the choir’. Using strong words may win you praise from fans but will most likely alienate those you might be hoping to sway towards your way of thinking.
Framing inferences as facts. This can include inferring the motivation of others, or making inferences based on the lack of actions of others.
Framing your own motivation positively. E.g. I seek solely to find “objective truth.”
Broadening conclusions. For instance, painting someone as a ‘dictatorial ideologue relentlessly oppressing humble and honest scientists in order to ensure the only messages that survive are self-serving propaganda’ is usually a stretch.
Questions to help me examine my bias:
How might my own beliefs be coloring my advocacy? If I use absolute language and state inferences as facts I could be reducing my effectiveness in sharing what I believe to be true.
Do I feel insulted or offended when others do not share my views or challenge my points?
Are there times when I overstate my data?
Do I sometimes approach a conversation with a predetermined opinion, then back into arguments that support it? Even a little?
Can I read the science from the opposing position? Do I rate the quality of research higher because of feelings about a particular author or conclusion? Is there a body of science I feel loyalty or affection for?
Other clues that highlight your bias:
Do you dismiss scientific papers that don’t agree with your beliefs?
Can you impartially evaluate the quality of the research in a paper?
Can you listen without interrupting when someone expresses an opposing point of view?
Do you maintain objectivity in your decision making process?
The most pernicious kind of subjectivity comes from those who think they are objective.
Can we move beyond self-righteousness in our ideology?
I find that if I have crafted a story in my mind that makes me the righteous victim and others the premeditated villains, I am likely to have little influence with them, or to their adherents. To the degree you can come to see the failings of others as temptations you also occasionally succumb to, you’ll humanize the opposition and amplify your prospects of healthy conversation.
One of the best ways to resolve conflict is to transcend it. If this is an issue that is extremely important to you, or important for someone you love, try to step off of your high horse and seek to have a mutually respectful conversation. Here are some ideas I’ve gleaned from communication specialists:
Find a time when you are not debating a specific topic or specific paper.
Open the conversation by acknowledging frequent conflict about topics in the past. Acknowledge any transgressions in your own approach to those conflicts.
You might say, for example, “I experience our decision making conversations as more contentious than is helpful. I know I’ve contributed to that. There are times when I let my ego trump my objectivity. I feel insulted and defensive, and that’s my stuff. And I suspect I’m not the only one. I suggest we step away from the specifics for a few minutes and discuss our purpose and our mutually shared goals. Let’s find principles that we both agree on such as the robust health of our children. My hope is that if we can all commit to those principles and stay to our convictions, we will reduce unnecessary conflict.”
It could well be that in the conversation you discover an unapologetic commitment of the other person to support only a particular bias. If so, you have a decision to make.
If, on the other hand, the conversation leads to purposeful and meaningful conversation with a discovery of shared purpose and principles that will guide the interactions, you will then have a context within which to challenge decisions that don’t fit with your mutually shared principles and hopefully come to a resolution.
Previously I wrote some ideas on having discussions with those you love on hard topics that has reached 2,400 people.

I recently saw this list of questions to ask midwives and thought it was a fairly good list but got me thinking about the most important questions pregnant parents should ask. I would modify some of the questions so that they require more than a yes/no answer.
One question I would add – at the top of the list is “Describe the cord clamping process”. Many ‘standard’ practices of birth are widely accepted by midwives. Midwives were once the guardians of natural respectful birth but have become indoctrinated with medical training in a similar way as doctors. Not all midwives have the same outlook on standard procedures around birth which makes it important to know what to ask about. Some examples:
Pregnancy
TDaP & flu vaccines routinely recommended during pregnancy have never been safety tested, yet because CDC recommends them for every woman for every pregnancy – no matter when they had the last shot – midwives go along with suggesting or recommending them. This recommendation has only recently been implemented – from around 2008 or so. Before that EVERYONE understood vaccines in pregnancy were a very bad idea. I’ve got a few blogs about these. Moms can absolutely refuse. Politely refuse.
Rhogam during pregnancy. This shot has caused a lot of problems for some individuals related through VaxXed story videos. Many times the blood type of the father is not even considered. If both mom and dad are rH – there is no need for a Rhogam shot either during pregnancy or after birth. I admit I haven’t fully researched the impact of refusing Rhogam for after birth when a baby is rH positive. I just accepted that when my first two babies were born, tested to be + and I got the shot – after the birth. The only ‘danger’ or risk of refusing the Rhogam after birth is going to be for the next pregnancy/baby. If mom is rH negative and baby is rH positive some of the blood may have mixed during the birth process which would cause mom to produce antibodies in the next pregnancy. It will not impact the current baby. There are health risks for mom that are generally not presented when the shot is recommended. Rhogam contains polysorbate 80 which is known to open the blood brain barrier.
During Birth:
What type of monitoring is done during labor?
What kind of movement will be possible for me during labor?
How do you encourage movement?
Under what circumstances would you want to restrict movement?
What type of water birth options are available?
At what stage of labor is a birthing pool encouraged?
What position do most of your moms give birth in? This is a good question because it reveals the reality of what happens – not just what they say they believe in. Standing, squatting, (my third baby) or kneeling over a chair (that’s how you, #4, were born) allow the fullest opening of the pelvis for easier delivery. Lying on a bed restricts the pelvis – my first two babies.
After birth:
Vitamin K. Most facilities routinely administer vitamin K nearly immediately after birth – sometimes without even asking the parents or thinking twice about it. I’ve got a few blogs about Vitamin K. Knowing what I know I would always refuse vitamin K injections, but staff are often misinformed and very pushy about this. If the staff are pushy I would have vitamin K drops on hand and assure them the drops will provide even better protection. I don’t think the drops are necessary to give, but they provide a great protection from pushy medical people. Dr Suzanne Humphries speaks to the details of vitamin K injections and drops in a video on my blog.
Hepatitis B vaccine on first day of life. This is one of the worst vaccines. I’ve written extensively about it. Hepatitis B vaccine is never necessary, especially when mom is negative for hepatitis B, yet so many medical people push it as if it is life-saving.
‘Eye goop’. Standard policy for all babies to protect against blindness possibly caused by STI in the vaginal canal. It burns baby’s eyes and causes them to keep them closed which can interfere with bonding.
Bath. Timing of the first bath. Many people feel delaying a bath is better for baby. The vernix is good to soak in the skin. Any mess can simply be wiped off.
Delayed Cord clamping is HUGE. Quick cord clamping greatly reduces baby’s total blood volume. 1/3 of baby’s blood is still in the cord. Some birth attendants think they delay because they wait one minute. The cord needs to be allowed to give all the residual blood and STEM CELLS to the baby. Some say 10 minutes, some say until the cord stops pulsating, and some do ‘lotus’ birth where they don’t ever cut the cord but keep the cord and placenta attached for days until it naturally falls off!
Ask ‘what happens to my placenta‘? That’s another good question. Many women want to keep their placenta. Some prepare it and capsulize it and find it a wonderful supplement for the months following birth. I never did that, but your SIL did.
All standard procedures can be refused – but navigating the process can be challenging depending on the staff, their beliefs, and their respect for you. Many babies ‘accidentally’ are given shots that the parents have expressly stated they do not want. The best approach for this is to keep the baby in your arms – mom or dad or baby body guard (BBG) – at all times while in the medical facility. If baby needs anything the nurse will sometimes say “I need to take baby to nursery for ….” a BBG must accompany nurse for all such visits.
Medical people hate to be disrespected. The hardest part of navigating birth is the need to be ultra respectful and polite while standing your ground! Information, research, and knowledge will all give you the kahoonas to manage this process. Having respect for ridiculousness is not my strongest character strength, but I keep trying to learn and put it into practice.
I highly recommend a very short booklet called Basic Needs of a Woman in Labor. Understanding these principles truly make labor go easier, faster and better. You can order an electronic copy with any small donation.
I repeat, I have absolute confidence in your body’s ability to grow a baby, birth a baby, and breastfeed a baby! You’re doing great! God created your precious baby and knows him/her well already! There was a divine spark that ignited life in you and is now growing in you! My hope is that you would not have any fear at all, but feel empowered for this process. Love Mom

Dr. LawrencePalevsky is a renowned board certified pediatrician, sought-after lecturer, and published author, who utilizes a holistic approach to children’s wellness and illness. He provides patients and their families with personalized, comprehensive consultations to address their children’s wellness at Northport Wellness Center, New York City.
Dr Palevsky gave this comprehensive overview of his medical training and his personal research and experience regarding vaccine safety before the Connecticut Legislative Informational Forum. This 18 minute presentation covers vital information that every doctor, parent and grandparent should understand before accepting the current vaccine recommendations of 72 doses by the age of 18 for every single child.
I urge you to 1) watch; 2) take notes; 3) learn some of the most obvious facts; 4) formulate questions to ask those who continue to believe that ‘vaccines are safe and effective’ and ‘the science is settled’; 4) share. Together our education efforts are making a difference. Educating the end user – families – seems to be the most powerful way of changing this narrative. As state legislatures continue to seek to pass mandatory vaccine laws we see how political this debate has become. Information will empower families to make informed choices for the best possible long term health of their babies and children.
Transcript, edited slightly for clarity:
“In 1983, when I started medical school, I was taught vaccines were safe, they were effective and I should give them. But I was not taught about any of the science around their safety or any of the studies around how safety (studies) were done. It wasn’t until 1998 that a mother came up to me and said: “Doctor, did you know that there’s mercury in vaccines?” And I said no I did not. As a medical student I was trained to critically think. If you see an observation you go after it try and figure out if there’s a question to ask. So, instead of just ignoring it I looked further into the vaccine ingredients and I found that there were a number of vaccine ingredients that in animal studies were proven to be very dangerous to animals. And I didn’t understand why these same ingredients were actually in vaccines. I was starting to hear stories from parents. Not dozens, not hundreds but thousands of stories, from parents, who took a very healthy child into their doctor’s office and then found that their child lost much of their health. Whether it was their speech, whether it were seizures, whether it was death, whether it was asthma, allergies, eczema… Whether it was autism, whether it was learning disabilities, whether it was inflammatory bowel disease, autoimmune diseases … And every one of those parents were told it had nothing to do with the vaccine. Every single one. And this continues today. But yet, when I look at the ingredients that are in the vaccines, I have the science to actually explain how these medical problems could be happening in these children.
Today, one in five children is learning-disabled . In 1976 it was one in 17. One in six, under age eight. One in two in adolescence And one in four, in young adults, is diagnosed with a mental behavioral or emotional disorder. One in twenty children under the age of five have seizures. One child in forty develops autism. The number of cases of children and adults with autoimmune diseases is rising exponentially. It’s one of the highest rising diseases in this country. And the vaccine ingredients, if you are willing to look at them and understand how they work, when they are injected into the body, can be seen to be responsible for every single one of these cases. So what are these ingredients? Well when I was in medical school we were taught that the body has something called the blood-brain barrier. The blood-brain barrier is like Fort Knox for the brain. Some elements that are in the bloodstream can not get into the brain. Those elements include: drugs, viruses and bacteria… among other things that are in the blood.
Drug companies were very concerned about being able to develop drugs. So, to get the drugs into the brain. So they used something called a nanoparticle. A nanoparticle is a very small particle, bound to the drug. They found that if they could put a nanoparticle onto a drug they could get that drug to go into the brain. It shows in animal studies that they were able to do this. They then were able to take an emulsifier, which is something that’s good with water and fat (it can dissolve in both) and if they added the emulsifier to the nanoparticle that was bound to the drug, they could increase drug entry into the brain 20 fold. This is right out of animal studies that I’ve found. So you have a drug, you have a nanoparticle and you have this emulsifier bound together. This combination gets quite easily into the brain. Vaccines are constructed the same way. You have the vaccine viruses and bacteria that are bound to a nanoparticle, called aluminum, That aluminum (which is a nanoparticle) has, by definition, the potential to enter the brain. Most vaccines also contain polysorbate 80 or sorbitol. Both of those compounds are emulsifiers. Emulsifiers bind very tightly to the nanoparticle aluminum which is bound very tightly to the vaccine antigens. This raises a question: “If the vaccine model is the same model as the model that the drug companies are using to enhance the delivery of drugs into the brain. Then is it possible that vaccine ingredients are making their way into the brain of our children?” That could explain why so many parents are watching their kids deteriorate after vaccinations, even though the doctors, the media and the government say: absolutely no connection. Even though the science suggests that there is a connection. You cannot find a single study in the literature that addresses whether the injection of aluminum into the body penetrates the brain, whether any vaccine ingredients enter the brain and whether polysorbate 80 enhances the delivery of any of those ingredients into the brain. And when I could not find those studies… I was concerned, because I’m told and you’re told the vaccines are evaluated and very very distinctly tested for safety. Yet, you can not find a study that says if aluminum stays in the blood or gets into the brain of children. Does aluminum take other vaccine ingredients into the brain that don’t belong in the brain? Because when ingredients that don’t belong in the brain get across the blood-brain barrier, they cause inflammation. And inflammation is what we see in one in five children with learning disabilities and one in 40 children with autism. All we have to do is ask the guidance counselor’s at schools about what they see. If you get honest pediatricians who are telling you what they’re seeing in their practice..they will tell you: They’re seeing kids, one after another, with more and more brain disorders. Now, as a medical doctor – who was taught to think – I went into the literature and said: “Are proper science studies done?” Safety studies like for example: Where you take a vaccine and you inject it into a hundred kids and then you give another hundred kids a saline placebo (meaning it’s inert). No study exists to actually evaluate the safety of a vaccine compared to a placebo group. None !!
When vaccines are studied, the maximum amount of days that vaccines are studied is up to ten days to two weeks. And unfortunately, the vaccine manufacturers pre select what side effects they will allow to be associated with the vaccines. So, if a child has a vaccine reaction that is associated with the vaccine, the vaccine manufacturers will decide whether or not it should or should not be associated with the vaccine. And the public knows this and they’re learning it more and more. So, if your child develops seizures five months after a vaccine, your child is told by the doctor that it had nothing to do with the vaccine. But that’s not true, because there are no studies to prove it. There is opinion… but there’s never been a study really addressing whether a vaccination at two months or even nine hours of age, could be related to an event that happened months or even years later, and yet we have some of the sickest children in our country. In New York, we lost the religious exemption on June 13th, 2019, because the unvaccinated children with a religious exemption were blamed for a measles outbreak. When I met with representatives in New York I told them that there is no study to prove that unvaccinated children have ever been proven to start an epidemic. He was surprised and he said: “I will vote against removing the religious exemption if I can’t find a study like you say.” He could not find a study, but he voted to repeal the exemption anyway,… because there are no studies. There are no studies proving that unvaccinated children are responsible. There’s consensus…”

The route to health is complicated and can be individual, depending on your body and background. In general, avoiding all pharmaceutical and over the counter products while eating high quality food with minimal processing, will result in a good level of health. This assumes consuming very little sugar, flour and other “white” food products. *
Health is also promoted through good lifestyle practices like getting good sleep, regular exercise, time spent outdoors, reducing chemical exposure from household and beauty products, practicing relational harmony, working on forgiveness of yourself and others, and drinking plenty of high quality water.
Sometimes we all feel like we could be “catching something.” The body is fully equipped to fight off infections. God designed our immune system. Fever is one of the ways our body has of attacking and killing off invaders.
Maintaining optimal levels of nutrients will assist the immune system so that it can mount any assault needed.
The following recommendations are from Dr Brownstein, a Board-Certified family physician and one of the foremost practitioners of holistic medicine. Dr. Brownstein has lectured internationally to physicians and others about his success in using natural hormones and nutritional therapies in his practice.
Nutrient
Normal Dose
Viral Attack Dose
Vitamin C
3,000 mg – 5,000 mg per day
1,000 mg per hour until bowel flush (similar to diarrhea), then back off for a time, but continue lower dose
Vitamin A
5,000 IU per day
100,000 IU per day at the first sign of illness, for 4 days (High doses NOT advised during pregnancy)
Vitamin D
2,000-5,000 IU per day
50,000 IU per day at the first sign of illness, for 4 days
Iodine
25 mg per day
50-100 mg/day at first sign of illness, for 4 days
I previously described in detail various approaches to giving high doses of vitamin C to every member of the family based on their weight.

*Sometimes if you are taking prescription drugs it is important to gradually reduce rather than cold turkey. This is not medical advice. If you take any prescription drugs it is important to find a medical professional who understands the power of the body to heal, who can guide you in the process of reducing the medication if needed.
36 doses of vaccines targeting 14 infections BEFORE 18 MONTHS, never tested individually for safety, or proven safe given in combination, yet recommended by CDC.

Is the Hepatitis A Vaccine a good idea for everyone? Even the CDC states: “Good personal hygiene and proper sanitation can also help prevent the spread of hepatitis A.”
There are two versions of the hepatitis A vaccine available: Havrix by GSK and VAQTA by Merck. You can click on the brand to read the complete vaccine package inserts (vpi) supplied by the manufacturers from the FDA website. Some points to note: Headings 6. Adverse Reactions, 11. Description and 13. Statement concerning cancer, gene mutation, and fertility. These same headings are used in all vaccines.
Both vaccines are grown using MRC-5 human diploid cells harvested from an aborted human baby. Both vaccines contain residual DNA fragments from this human baby.
The other concerning ingredients are highlighted. The amount may be claimed to be ‘very small’ but injecting aluminum, formaldehyde, formalin, sodium borate, sodium chloride, bovine albumin, etc. in any amount is a questionable practice.
Who is at risk for Hepatitis A infection? From CDC website
How is hepatitis A infection transmitted? or HOW WOULD I CATCH IT?
Are there reasons NOT to get a hepatitis A vaccine? Are there risks? The following are screen shots taken directly from the vpi showing just some of the information under “Adverse Reactions”:
Havrix by GSKVAQTA by Merck
As a Christian saved by the grace of Jesus Christ and cleansed from my sins through His blood, I cannot consent to the use of aborted human baby body parts for any scientific reason. Even more abhorrent is injecting fragments of those aborted baby body parts into the body. The Old Testament emphasis the life giving properties of blood. In the New Testament we understand that our body is the temple of the Spirit of God and a sacred place. A good friend wrote more about that here.
The longterm impact of injecting human DNA cell fragments into babies and children is only coming to light now. Every parent needs to understand that the longterm risk was not considered or evaluated when the vaccines were developed. I’ve summarized some recent medical findings here.
The CDC has clearly stated that good hygiene and sanitation are effective in avoiding Hepatitis A. I’ll stick to those.

Estimates suggest 90% of infants are given Tylenol (aka acetaminophen). Pregnant women are encouraged that Tylenol is safe to take during pregnancy. Yet, there has been virtually no thorough investigation of the neurological consequences. There are 16 human studies which suggest brain developmental harm from use in pregnancy.
Why are pregnant women not being warned? Why are parents encouraged to give Tylenol to their babies? With impacts as serious as autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, and ADHD, surely pregnant women deserve to know that the little pill they take for pain or a headache might cause lifelong impact on their unborn baby.
Why isn’t this banned?
Toby Rogers, PhD shares that “9 studies show an association between acetaminophen (Tylenol) use & adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes (Bauer et al., 2018). Avella-Garcia (2016) & Liew et al. (2016) found that males exposed to Tylenol in utero have significantly elevated risk of autism.”
Tylenol is not the ONLY factor to adversely impact the brains of developing babies. Other toxicants at vulnerable times are implicated. “Autism is both preventable and treatable. We have fairly good data that five classes of toxicants increase autism risk:
But are there clear signals about WHICH of these creates the greatest risk?
“In the debate over toxicants that increase autism risk, all roads lead back to vaccines. At least 5 studies show a statistically significant association between vaccines & autism (Gallagher & Goodman, 2008 & 2010; Thomas & Margulis, 2016; Mawson et al., 2017a & 2017b).” Toby Rogers, PhD
I encourage you to follow Dr Rogers on Twitter. He is providing a wealth of information on this critically important topic.
In this landmark conversation (starting about 52 minutes into this episode of The Highwire) Del Bigtree and Toby Rogers, PhD discuss the financial implications of the raging autism epidemic and question why this topic is being totally ignored by key role players. This reality is going to impact every member of society.
A starting point for more info on vaccines. Comments, questions, and suggestions always encouraged.
Becky Hastings collects information on health and tries her best to discover and share truth. “By God’s grace, through Jesus Christ, I was saved, blessed with a husband of 40 years, and have five precious babies all grown up. I now get to delight as nine grandchildren grow! Together we can help each other discover a healthy path in this crazy upside down world.“
More and more people are being told that they must accept a flu vaccine in order to work in a specific place. Most hospitals and health care settings now have policies to mandate vaccines. Here is an example of a letter sent to an employer on the topic of the flu vaccine. My friend was successful in getting a religious exemption with this letter. He was hired and given a religious exemption but did have to agree to wear a mask for 6 months of the year.
As a Christian, I perceive the Bible to be a holy book of the words of God written through people. As such, its contents are significant as it relates to their implications on how I live my life. In the First book of Corinthians, written approximately between A.D. 53-55, the apostle Paul instructed the new Christians in the Roman-colonized city of Corinth of the following:
“Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.” (1Cor 6:19-20).
Later, in the Second book of Corinthians, Paul writes about maintaining purity in body:
“Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.” (2Cor 7:1).
As I interpret the first verse, Paul is explaining that, as Christians, we have God’s “Spirit” within us. He therefore uses the metaphor of a temple because, prior to the coming of Jesus Christ, the “Spirit” of God was written to have dwelled in the holy temples constructed within the Jewish communities. When God manifested as a man in Christ on earth and then returned to Heaven, he left the “Spirit of God” in His place to dwell in us, so now we no longer need the physical temples and buildings: instead, we are the temple, a phenomenon explained throughout all of the New Testament of the Bible.
Just like the ancient Jewish temple buildings, we must therefore honor our bodies as dwelling places of God: We must honor our body by what we do and what we put into them. A significant aspect of this means being vigilant about what I put into my body, as I seek to honor its health, just as keepers of God’s temple would keep the building containing God pure and honoring of His presence. For me, this means avoiding toxins and impurities. I include the influenza vaccine in my list of impurities/toxins that I cannot agree to inject into my body, as it contains substances such as Thimerosal (mercury derivative), Formaldehyde (toxin), Aluminum, and in some Ethylene Glycol (aka antifreeze – toxin) (https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/downloads/appendices/b/excipient-table-2.pdf). Though some of these substances may be found naturally occurring in the body, that is a process that I trust my body to carry out naturally as I ingest pure foods. I do not believe injecting them, even in small amounts, is healthy.
There are many vaccine ingredients. As an informed parent we are careful about the ingredients in the food we give to our children. What are we allowing to be injected into them? Please take some time to review the ingredients here.
Compiled by Becky Hastings, devoted to Jesus, wife, mother, grandmother, truth and health seeker, and reporter. Seeking truth can be challenging, and sometimes confusing. Our longterm health is vitally important. Who and what we believe will impact our choices. Wisdom and discernment is required.
