I Didn’t Want to Believe It

Posted on by

Joni Beth Waldrop with Rosie

I see your cartoons and your posts about people who are questioning vaccines. I was you, just a little over 3 years ago. I saw it as a black and white issue with no room for debate. I thought ugly thoughts and stated my opinion plainly. I thought I had read the science, which of course was me reading abstracts of a handful of industry-funded, cherry-picked studies that did not contain true inert placebos. I read the CNN articles. I looked at the CDC website. I knew what the WHO was. There was absolutely no possible way in my mind that getting vaccines involved any risk worth my consideration. 

Then my beautiful daughter, Rosie, regressed into autism slowly, incrementally, and profoundly. I denied that vaccines played a role. I just couldn’t believe it. I didn’t want to believe it. After a significant decline following a flu shot, I asked the nurse, awkwardly…

“Rosie really tanked after her flu shot. I don’t want to be one of those people, but could there be something to that?”

The nurse took a deep breath, and very diplomatically said,

“Vaccines create an immune response in the body and if her immune system was poor or struggling, it could affect her negatively.” 

Say what?! Enter doubt. Rosie’s immune system was terrible. During her short life she had already had many ear infections with multiple rounds of antibiotics. She had even contracted the rare Epiglottitis – two months before getting that flu shot. Epiglottis is “a rapidly progressive bacterial infection of the epiglottis and surrounding tissues that may lead to sudden respiratory obstruction and death” – something the HIB vaccine should have protected her from! Fail.

Rosie was due for a booster shot at this appointment and even my super mainstream doctor agreed we should pause her vaccinations! I decided to go home and do my research and make sure I felt confident to continue vaccines on the recommended schedule. 

I then began to slowly eat humble pie. If you would like to grab of a cup of coffee with me one day, I would spell out what my journey of discovery has been like—how it was retrospectively quite obvious that Rosie was negatively impacted after at least 2 and maybe 3 sets of her vaccinations. When your child is regressing, it’s difficult to know what you are looking at in the moment. Who would ever be expectantly watching for their child to lose skills?? You just one day realize that your child can’t do something anymore. I wasn’t looking for something to blame. The evidence was undeniable. 

I would not tell you what to do, but I would share the broader scope of the suppressed science that is available regarding vaccine safety (and the lack thereof). I would inform you of the unbelievable level of corruption involved in our government agencies (Did you know that the CDC owns vaccine patents?). I would point to the latest research showing how there is a mechanism whereby vaccines create immune activation events (really their whole purpose) and that some cases (How many? We don’t know yet!) of autism can be triggered by immune activation events in the brain. 

Did you know that families have been compensated a total of over $4B in vaccine court for vaccine injuries, some of which resulted in autism? Did you know that in 1986 vaccine manufacturers were feeling extreme pressure due to lawsuits for injury from vaccine. They appealed to the US government and Congress passed an act to take away the right to sue vaccine manufacturers directly? In order to receive any compensation from vaccine injury or death, there is a lengthy process whereby you have to petition the government for compensation (funded by a tax you pay on every vaccine), in a process where Department of Justice attorneys rake families over the coals.

Did you know that a lawsuit has been won against Health and Human Services, finding that the HHS failed to conduct ANY of the biannual vaccine safety reports required by this same act? Did you know that the vaccine schedule has exploded to 72 recommended doses by the age of 18? There’s no liability, so of course the schedule exploded. I had no idea. 

To say the science is settled is ridiculous. Nothing is settled in science, especially when the number of doses of vaccines is continually increasing. Autism rates are now shown to be as high as 1 in 36. Don’t tell me vaccines can’t trigger autism or regression without telling me what does. Genetics can only account for a predisposition and a tiny subset of autism. Our family is currently part of a huge autism genetics study and they continue to come up empty. What a waste!

Your autism, or your child’s autism may not have been caused or triggered by vaccines, but it’s unfair to whitewash countless people’s experiences of regression, side effects, and even death. It’s happening at frightening numbers, and you probably don’t know about it because mothers are scared to share these stories to a hateful public. And I will share with you that we don’t all blame one vaccine. How could we, when our children usually receive multiple vaccinations at once? I will remind you that only one vaccine has been studied in relation to autism: MMR. The “definitive” study on it was called out by a whistleblower for an illegal manipulation of data. Just today, an INDUSTRY-FUNDED study was released out of Denmark, which didn’t even have a true representation of the current autism rates in the study sample. It’s garbage, but you see the headline and you feel relieved, right? 

I’ll also share with you that this long term study was released in a timely manner on the night before a US Senate hearing on the ‘measles crisis’ with a completely one sided presentation resembling a PR stunt. Hundreds of parents and children were purposefully barred from attending. Is this one step toward trying to create a public demand to make philosophical/religious vaccine exemptions extremely burdensome? or remove them altogether.

Let me make this clear for you: The federal government is tossing around the idea of mandating medical procedures (vaccines) that are poorly studied and produced by manufacturers that have zero liability. Are you okay with the government mandating that I have Rosie continue to get vaccinations, given her history? Medical exemptions are not easy to come by if you are thinking she should be covered with that. Should she be sacrificed for what you may believe is the greater good? Should the government be allowed to make such mandates? Is this communist China? 

You ask…what about herd immunity? In terms of the hot-button measles, the scientific community used to believe one shot provided lifelong immunity. Then they realized some people didn’t even develop antibodies, so a booster was added to “clean up” the ones that didn’t have a good uptake the first time. Now they know that immunity wanes over time. When was your last booster? If you didn’t have a natural case of the measles, it is very likely that you, yourself, are no longer immune and not contributing to the “herd”. Are your children’s teachers up to date? The custodians? The cafeteria workers? The visiting parents? Again, likely no. But you can’t transmit what you don’t have, so we’re doing okay. People seem to think the unvaccinated are in some way harboring communicable diseases all the time. 

Herd immunity is also based on research of how natural immunity can work. Vaccine-derived herd immunity is wishful thinking. 

The Pharma-bought media want you to believe that I get all my information from Google and social media. I have read more than my fair share of books, there are many Pubmed articles online, and Google Scholar is fairly adequate for me to have access to studies. Would you respect my opinion more if I trekked over to the medical library and read the same things there? 

#WeDid is spreading awareness that vaccines can cause permanent brain injuries. Thousands of neurotypical children are becoming autistic from vaccines. Vaccines are not safe for a lot of children. Some children have no problems, but some do. Unfortunately, it’s like playing a game of Russian roulette on your child.

As for social media—thank God for a platform that allows families with stories like ours to find each other. 

Coming back to your posts—your flippant posting of cartoons and bullying of people who question vaccines is hurtful to families of vaccine injured children. You are entitled to post or say what you want of course, but you need to know that thousands of families grieve what they saw happen to their babies. The Pharma-bought media stabs us, and your posts feel like a twisting of the knife. 

I’m not mad. How could you know about all of this as — we all received the same mainstream mantra of “vaccines are safe and effective”?

I know you probably didn’t mean to hurt feelings and that you fear for your own children and the possibility of them contracting an illness. IT’S UNFAIR THAT WELL-MEANING PARENTS ARE BEING PITTED AGAINST WELL-MEANING PARENTS. 

We need to know the true benefit/risk ratio of all things we may choose to inject in our bodies so we can make conscientious decisions. We don’t have enough information. We should all ask: Are we trading short term illnesses (in whatever severity that may be) for chronic long term neurological disorders (and possibly so many other ailments)?

Please don’t ask me on Facebook to provide all the science that has taken me literally 3 years to sift through. I will not enter a “here’s my study”, “I don’t like your study” war. If you are genuinely curious, and I hope you are, I recommend J.B. Handley’s book: “How to End the Autism Epidemic” as a starting point. I ask you to read beyond study abstracts and CNN headlines. 

I don’t mean to be arrogant in my beliefs. I don’t have all the answers. I just know that the Lord wouldn’t let me rest in silence.

Vaccine Risk Awareness Goes Mainstream

Posted on by
Reply

Due to the tireless strategic efforts of many vaccine risk aware truth tellers, the truth about vaccine risk is beginning to hit the mainstream media and the mainstream public. More people are questioning vaccines than ever before.

Watch this 10 minute mainstream video report by Sheryl Attkisson with bombshell revelations of fraud by DOJ attorneys in the ‘vaccine court.’ This report was aired on mainstream television on January 6, 2019. The supporting information is verified by the Dr Zimmerman’s affidavit, linked below.

You can read Dr Zimmerman’s full sworn Affidavit here. Dr Zimmerman is the world-renowned pro-vaccine pediatric neurologist specializing in autism. As an expert witness for the government defending vaccines in vaccine court in 2007, he told the government that vaccines can cause autism in “exceptional” cases, but says the government later hid the information and misrepresented his opinion. His affidavit is signed September 2018.

There is a lot to this story. In the case in which Dr Zimmerman was scheduled to appear as an expert witness for the government, there were 5000 families represented in what is known as the Autism Omnibus Proceedings. The Department of Justice lawyers ignored Dr Zimmerman’s statements that he had changed his mind and now believed there was a connection between vaccines and autism for some susceptible children. Rather than share this information, or have him testify again, they fired him to prevent his opinion validating the representative case and thus blocked 5000 families from receiving justice and compensation for vaccine harm.

This information is critically important for everyone, but especially for anyone charged with making decisions for new babies. Please share. We will not be getting an announcement from the CDC any time soon, but Dr Zimmerman is one expert who once believed there was no connection between vaccines and autism. Then he began to listen to many of his patients and review the scientific information. He realized his former position was wrong. He changed his mind based on the scientific reality. The government does not want parents to hear his findings.

Vaccines Contain Fetal Cells

Posted on by

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.

CPS for Refusing Vaccines?

Posted on by

One of my readers shared a powerful example of how to respond when a medical professional threatens you with a call to CPS for not accepting vaccines:

If a doctor or nurse threatens to file a CPS report when you do not want to vaccinate your child.
1) Start recording the conversation immediately… and tell them “I am now recording for your safety and my safety”.
2) Then say, “Excuse me, I want to make sure I understand you correctly. Are you saying that if I agree to let you administer those vaccines today [more powerful if you list the specific vaccines that have been discussed], that we will walk out of here with no problems, but if I refuse the vaccines, that you will call CPS and file a report?” [[let them answer]]
3) Next: “If you call CPS or file a report with them, exactly what are you going to be claiming in the report?” [[let them answer]]
4) “Are you aware of the informed consent laws for our state?[1, 2] Are you familiar with the Nuremberg Code [3], and what it says about informed consent, and do you understand the implications of your statement and what it means for a medical professional to use methods of coercion & intimidation to get consent for a medical procedure?”

At this point you may be quite shaken and emotionally distraught. If you are still rock solid and confident – congratulations! My reader concluded with this approach:

“5) Then you say, “We’re done here. I am under duress and I will not be threatened or manipulated to consent to any medical procedures, nor will I be signing any documents, and if you do not let me leave, and if you file a CPS report with false claims, I will call my attorney, and report you to the medical board of our state for attempted coercion which is ILLEGAL.”
6) BYE – LEAVE”

I agree that you need to leave the office ASAP. However, at ALL TIMES you need to be confident and respectful. Doctors have been through such rigorous training that they have a hard time listening to patients and are quick to interpret any disagreement or questioning as ‘crazy’. Being right about your rights no longer guarantees your freedom from harassment in our country. You do not want to be unnecessarily adversarial. You need to be absolutely STRONG and careful about how your actions and words will be interpreted by a thoroughly indoctrinated medical professional. Perhaps an exit strategy like this may be a better option:

“We need to leave now.” (stand up, get yourself ready to follow through on those words immediately). “I need to speak to my partner (if your partner is with you, say, “We need time to discuss this.”) “I/We need to consult with my/our lawyer about legal requirements in our state. I’m/We’re going to think about what you have advised.” If you are receiving pressure to sign any type of waiver or form, say “We cannot sign anything right now, but we can take the form and read through it.” Walk out.

Save some emotional energy because at this point you probably have to stop by the billing desk to organize the payment of your office visit. Be strong. Be prepared. You CAN protect your children!

Too many parents are facing wrongful removal of their children. You do not want to unnecessarily harm your children by consenting to give vaccines through fear, pressure and coercion, but you also do not want to necessarily ‘poke’ a vindictive medical professional!

Of course, if you do not take your baby to wellness visits you will not be faced with pressure to give them vaccines. Many parents are able to find respectful medical professionals for their babies/children. I hope you never need this information, but if you ever find yourself facing CPS officials at your door, this blog outlines how to handle such a situation.

  1. “For an individual to give valid informed consent, three components must be present: disclosure, capacity and voluntariness.
    • Disclosure requires the researcher to supply each prospective subject with the information necessary to make an autonomous decision and also to ensure that the subject adequate understands the information provided. This latter requirement implies that a written consent form be written in lay language suited for the comprehension skills of subject population, as well as assessing the level of understanding through conversation.
    • Capacity pertains to the ability of the subject to both understand the information provided and form a reasonable judgment based on the potential consequences of his/her decision.
    • Voluntariness refers to the subject’s right to freely exercise his/her decision making without being subjected to external pressure such as coercion, manipulation, or undue influence.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Informed_consent#Valid_elements

Choosing Your Baby’s Doctor

Posted on by
15

Many parents blindly trust doctors. Others mistrust all of them. How can parents find a doctor who respects their parenting decisions even if they may differ from standard medical advice or experience?

Some parents are informed of true vaccine risks versus benefits prior to pregnancy and childbirth and are able to avoid vaccines entirely; other parents notice vaccine injury and decide to discontinue giving further vaccines. Parents who follow standard medical practice, and allow their baby to be injected with vaccines, whether bullied into it or not, often experience deep feelings of betrayal on top of the trauma of dealing with a vaccine injury. They never expected that such a ‘nice doctor’ could recommend such a devastating procedure for their healthy baby. Many parents with children injured or killed by vaccines are further traumatized by the denial of the real and obvious vaccine injury by the ‘nice doctor’. Some parents are kicked out of a medical practice for refusing to accept more vaccines for their baby.

Parents who understand the true risk of vaccines seek to find a doctor for their baby who will respect their decision, if not fully support it.

Note:
If you are searching for a doctor who will support your non mainstream ideas regarding parental choice, you might want to adopt a stealth approach. Use vague words when asking questions like, “I’m looking for a doctor who supports a more natural holistic approach to health for my child.” Many parents have found they need to keep their child’s vaccine status quiet in order to protect their baby/child from ‘well meaning’ but ignorant people who could cause unwanted complications. By keeping our family’s vaccine status close to our chest until we get to know people, we provide greater protection for our young children.

Ways to identify doctors who accept non-vaccinated children without ever pushing vaccines.

Firstly, I don’t have lists of doctors, but there are a lot of respectful doctors available. Word of mouth is probably the best way to locate a potential doctor in your area. Some good ways (not guaranteed) to find an open-minded doctor:

1) Ask on local FB groups that have a more natural/crunchy leaning.
2) Ask moms from a La Leche League or other breastfeeding support group/meeting
3) Ask about doctors at a local health food store or co-op
4) Consider finding a “family” doctor or “general practitioner” who often have a more accepting attitude of family choices.
5) Look for some labels that indicate a differently thinking doctor like ‘Integrative’, ‘Functional Medicine’, or ‘Physical Medicine’. Practices with this type of ‘label’ may include chiropractors and have a more of a ‘team’ approach to achieving health.
6) Many families find regular chiropractic visits are more beneficial than pediatrician visits.
7) One option is to skip well visits completely.
Good questions to ask:

How does Dr _____ encourage natural immunity and health in babies and children? (good answers include supporting/encouraging exclusive breastfeeding, delaying or avoiding vaccines, attention to good nutrition and avoiding processed foods, elderberry or other immune boosting supplements, good sleep and hygiene practices, etc.)

What is Dr ____ approach to fevers in babies and children? Fevers are beneficial and yet many doctors and parents rush to give fever reducers which could actually cause further harm.

What does Dr _____ think of using vitamin C in high doses? While this might not be a ‘deal breaker’, knowledge of the effectiveness of vitamin C in babies and children is an indication that this doctor has researched beyond the standard training of medical school.

A bonus question regarding childhood cancers. I’m not sure of how to approach such a question, but it is becoming an increasing concern to parents that if a child is diagnosed with cancer they have very few treatment options (radiation, chemotherapy, and/or surgery). Many parents have faced the threat or reality of forced removal of their child by CPS/DCF if they seek second opinions or alternative therapies to treat their child’s cancer. My children are now grown, but it would be wise to get an awareness of your child’s doctor’s opinion on the growing incidence of cancers amongst children, causes and best options for treatment. I pray you will never need this information.

The NVIC.org provides helpful information on vaccine requirements and exemptions for each state. There may be local vaccine truth activist organizations or individuals that you can connect with. Finding other vaccine truth activists near you can be a great resource in many ways.

Doctors are highly regarded in our culture and can play a significant role in our parenting decisions. It’s important to find a doctor who encourages you, respects your parenting instincts, and truly has your baby’s health as their top priority. Not all pediatricians have taken the time necessary to research the complexities of vaccines for themselves. They trust what their training and professional organizations tell them. I wish you well in your search for such a person. Here is an example of an amazing doctor.

Please leave a comment with your suggestions for ways to find a doctor, and good questions to ask in your search!

More Waffles

As I said in my previous waffle recipe, all recipes are a work in progress.

My latest version (below) has an additional egg and less butter. They were easy to make and devoured by the grandchildren.

I’ve added an easy reference so you can make a double or 1.5 batch. The Belgium flip style waffle maker can be turned upside down as soon as you pour in the batter. It makes THE BEST WAFFLES EVER! I found one made by Hamilton Beach for only $19.99. Truly the lightest waffles because the batter is forced down! My waffle pictures present imperfect waffles because I found pouring less batter causes more expansion. The result may look imperfect, but is most delicious!

I started writing my recipes in chart form, with multiple batch sizes, as an easy way to make the recipe clear and consistent for my children during our homeschooling years (1997-2017). I hope you understand what I’m saying! Quick and easy, is my goal.

I had 2 assistant cooks this morning, my nearly 4 and nearly 2 year old grandchildren, yet we still managed to stick to the recipe AND record it for posterity! The waffles were devoured by all!

 

These two pictures were taken from another batch of waffles that I made later, since we forgot to take pictures! For this batch I used 1 1/2 cups Bobs gluten free flour. It worked well.

Waffles are great with fruit, yogurt, butter, and syrup – or any combination of those that you like! Waffles are also great with Nancy’s organic pro-biotic cream cheese and organic fruit spread!

Vitamin K at Birth?

Posted on by
11

I’m not telling you what to do. But please research, read, and investigate what standard procedures will be done to your baby BEFORE you give birth. A vitamin K injection soon after birth has been recommended for over 40 years. Some nurses have been so indoctrinated into thinking it is ONLY good, and never causes harm, that they resort to secretly administering these shots to parents who refuse. The following Facebook comment is verified as being the actual statement from a nurse working in Labor and Delivery for over 30 years:

One not so obvious implication with this nurse’s ‘well intentioned’ action is that she does not record giving the injection into the patient chart. Imagine if another nurse on a different shift has the same mindset? What if baby were actually given 2 or more vitamin K shots because it wasn’t recorded?

Parents. Inform yourself. Make your own choices. But if you go to a hospital make sure you have a reliable baby body guard who 100% agrees to uphold your wishes. Don’t take any chances. A baby body guard should be incredibly strong – unbending – while very respectful, since medical personnel often get their pride wounded when someone disagrees with them. A baby body guard NEVER leaves baby’s side. It is important to designate someone to this position because a mom may not be able to perform this role in the first few hours or sometimes days, after birth. Dad, grandmother, doula, or good friend are possible choices for this important role.

Did you know….The United States Food and Nutrition Board established the adequate intake (AI) level for vitamin K based on consumption levels of healthy individuals for babies 0-6 months at 2mcg. The injection routinely given to newborns contains 1mg (1000mcg) of vitamin K1.

Vitamin K is promoted to ‘protect’ baby from very rare brain bleeds, but is the vitamin K shot completely safe?

Click to read the ingredient list directly from the packaging.

There are two versions of the shot commonly used in US hospitals. The ‘preservative free’ version is manufactured by Amphastar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and contains 10mg of polysorbate 80.

Here is the black box warning:

The other vitamin K injection, phytonadione by Hospira, Inc., contains 9 mg of benzoyl alcohol (as a preservative) which will target baby’s liver and often leads to baby developing jaundice in the first 2 days of life. Additionally, the impact on the liver may be exacerbated by the 250 mcg of aluminum in the Hepatitis B shot which is also recommended to be given to baby on the first day of life.

The black box warning for this injection.

Does it make sense to inject every single baby with something that could harm them to protect them from something that occurs so rarely we don’t even keep stats on it? 

For more information on whether the vitamin K injection is a good idea for your baby, several key aspects of vitamin need to be explored:

  • The role of injected vitamin K in thickening the blood which prevents the delivery of baby’s own stem cells to the vital work of repair, especially to the brain, of birth trauma.
  • The critical importance of delayed cord clamping (until cord stops pulsating, which may take up to 10 minutes).
  • The amount of vitamin K in the injection.
  • The other ingredients in the injections such as polysorbate 80 which is known to open the tight junctures in the brain allowing other ingredients to pass the blood brain barrier.
  • Repeated exposure of polysorbate 80 and its role in anaphylactic shock. This ingredient is in the DTaP combination vaccine given in five doses starting at 2 months. It is also an ingredient in the HPV vaccine, which has one of the highest number of vaccine adverse events reported to VAERS.

I’ve collected information with citations in previous blogs:

Vitamin K in Brief
The Vitamin K Push
Vitamin K Links

Are there alternatives to injecting vitamin K? Many moms are comfortable with increasing their own stores of vitamin K by eating lots of green leafy vegetables late in pregnancy. Breastfeeding is so important for every aspect of baby’s longterm health, and will also convey the right amount of vitamin K. If you still feel fearful of not giving your baby the standard vitamin K injection, you can choose to give baby oral vitamin K instead.

In 1992, the Netherlands eliminated the vitamin K shot in favor of administration of 1 mg oral Vitamin K at birth followed by daily doses of 25 mcg from week 1 to 3 months of age in breastfed infants (source).

In Switzerland, a slightly different oral vitamin K protocol is used, which consists of weekly 1 mg oral doses for 2-3 months.

The result of this change?  No cases of Vitamin K Deficiency Bleeding  (VKDB) – even late onset!

If your healthcare provider is leading you to believe that there aren’t safe and effective alternatives to the toxic vitamin K shot, time to call them out on their ignorance.  https://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/skip-that-newborn-vitamin-k-shot/

Parenting is one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of our lifetime. Once an injection is given, it cannot be taken back. Please research exactly what you want your baby to be injected with BEFORE you have to make the decision. Parents need to increase their intuition and decrease their reliance on medical doctors.

Why Are American Doctors so Clueless?

The infant mortality rate in the US is absolutely abysmal, ranking in 34th place after countries like Singapore, the Czech Republic, South Korea, Croatia, and Cuba. This despite having “the best” medicine in the world—and spending more than any other country on health care to boot. It’s quite clear that Americans have a lot to learn with regards to what makes for a healthy baby.

Long-term health does not at all appear to be correlated with getting an abundance of injections. We’re missing something, and I believe that something is really fundamental and basic. Many Americans do not trust their bodies to do what nature intended their bodies to do. The human body is imbued with the power to self heal, if given adequate support.  https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2014/08/12/vitamin-k-shot-newborns.aspx

WHAT IS THE IMPACT of injecting human DNA into our BABIES???

Posted on by

In the previous blog conclusive evidence was presented showing that some vaccines contain residual human fetal cell material from the growth mediums used in vaccine manufacture. Most people are unaware that the shots they inject into babies contain fragments of cells from human babies, and some even deny that this is true.

Four significant vaccines on the CDC recommended schedule [1] all contain human fetal tissue fragments, including both male and female DNA:

  • M-M-R®II: exclusively available in the USA since 1979 targeting measles, mumps, and rubella; 2 doses at 12 months and 5 years. [2]
  • Varivax®: the vaccine aimed to prevent chicken pox, added to the schedule in 1996; 2 doses at 12 months and 5 years.
  • Hepatitis A vaccine, approved in 1996, and added to the schedule for all babies in 2005; 2 doses given between 12 and 24 months. [3]
  • Pentacel® combined vaccine targeting diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis, polio, Haemophilus influenza type b (Hib), introduced in 2008. Four doses given at 2, 4, 6, and 15 months of age. [4]

The average baby is injected with 10 different human tissue-containing shots before they go to school. Eight of them before the age of two years. Surely such widespread use of this growth medium – human fetal cells – was thoroughly demonstrated to be safe – right?

Since 40 years have passed since the first vaccine containing human cell debris was introduced, there has been ample time to study how this vaccine containing human DNA fragments could be impacting those that are injected with it.

But, how much DNA is really in a vaccine? Isn’t it just infinitesimally small amounts?

DNA residuals in human fetal cell line manufactured vaccines

In addition to the ingredients listed on the package insert for Meruvax II® (rubella), we detected significant levels of human ssDNA (142 ± 8 ng/vial) as well as dsDNA (35 ±10 ng/vial) fragmented to ~215 base pairs in length. The MMR II® package insert discloses the presence of human fetal residuals [sic] [but not] how much cell substrate dsDNA or ssDNA contaminates each dose. In each vial of Havrix® [Hepatitis A vaccine], we detected ssDNA (301 ± 153 ng/vial) as well as dsDNA (44 ± 24 ng/vial) unfragmented residual DNA more than 48.5 K base pairs in length. The Havrix® package insert discloses the presence of human fetal cellular residuals from the MRC-5 cell line, but not the DNA contaminant levels specifically.[5]

The Varivax® vaccine [chicken pox] is manufactured using the human diploid cell line MRC5, and is contaminated with 2 micrograms of cell substrate double stranded DNA. Single stranded DNA levels are not reported in Merck’s Varivax Summary Basis for Approval document nor are the length of the DNA fragments contaminating the vaccine (Merck 2011). [5]

Vaccines that have been cultured on or manufactured using the WI-38 fetal cell line such as MeruvaxII®, MMRII®, Varivax®, Havrix® and Pentacel® are additionally contaminated with fragments of human endogenous retrovirus HERVK (Victoria et al., 2010). Recent evidence has shown that human endogenous retroviral transcripts are elevated in the brains of patients with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder (Frank et al., 2005), [5]

According to EPA recommendations, birth year change points for prevalence of autistic disorder should drive consideration of environmental triggers, as for any disease (McDonald 2010).[5]

Scientists have been studying and learning that injected “human fetal DNA fragments are inducers of autoimmune reactions, while both DNA fragments and retroviruses are known to potentiate genomic insertions and mutations (Yolken et al., 2000; Kurth 1998; U S Food and Drug Administration 2011).” [5]

How has injecting male and female DNA fragments into ALL babies impacted their health? 

A detailed analysis of the data available and has found startling results. There are statistically obvious change points associated with the addition of fetal cell line vaccines and increased diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder: “Autistic disorder began to rise in the US after birth year 1978 (Newschaffer and Gurney 2005).” This corresponds to the introduction of the MMRII developed with two different fetal cell tissues. [5]

Additionally, “The US 1988.4 change point corresponded to the addition of a second dose of MMRII® to a measles vaccination campaign that increased compliance from ≤50 to 82% between birth years 1987 and 1989 (Centers for Disease Control 1989; Kaye and Jick 2001) as well as to the introduction of Poliovax in 1987. [5]

And, “The 1995.6 autistic disorder change point corresponded to the approval and introduction of the Varicella vaccine (Varivax®).” [5]

This chart summarizes the autism change points in relationship to the MMRII, the push for higher uptake of MMRII, and the chicken pox vaccine. [5]

Why aren’t the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), HHS (Federal Department of Health and Human Services), the CDC (Federal Center for Disease Control), or the ACIP (Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices) concerned about fetal cell contamination in vaccines causing harm?

The primary measure of effectiveness for the CDC, FDA, and vaccine makers is focused on “serologic evidence of immunity,” or a blood test showing raised antibody titers. No vaccine has ever been investigated for mutagenic or carcinogenic properties – tested and tracked long-term to see if they damage the genetic material of the recipient, if they could be implicated in causing cancer, or if they could be linked to infertility later in life. [6]

Even with all the advances in genetic understanding since the mapping of the human genome in 2001, the HHS has undertaken NO FURTHER SAFETY STUDIES on these vaccines known to contain human fetal DNA fragments. Further, the HHS has done no safety studies at all on any vaccine for 30+ years.

Isn’t that interesting.

You might be asking, ‘But aren’t the vaccine manufacturers responsible for determining safety?’ Ever since the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, all liability was removed from vaccine manufacturers and the responsibility for vaccine safety was shifted to the HHS, who recently admitted, after being forced by a court order, that no safety testing of vaccines has been undertaken. [7]

In June 2018 I had three minutes during the public comment session at the ACIP meeting held three times a year at the CDC in Atlanta. I briefly presented some of the unintended consequences of the vaccine schedule, commonly known as “non specific effects.” It remains to be seen if this information will drive any change in recommendations.

The vaccine promoters have captured the media through controlling advertising revenue. Fear campaigns are promoted so that parents rush to stay up-to-date on vaccines without examining the ingredients. Doctors are busy and have confidence in the government regulatory agency recommendations. Has our cherished vaccine program helped children avoid short term infectious illness but caused an epidemic in longterm serious developmental impairment and auto-immune disorders?

If you have any fear of your child getting chicken pox, please read the description provided by the CDC: “The clinical course in healthy children is generally mild, with malaise, pruritus (itching), and temperature up to 102°F for 2 to 3 days.” [8]

Would you rather your child have a mild fever and have some itching, or inject them with human cellular debris containing DNA fragments – which has not been tested for whether or not it may adversely impact genetics, play a role in skyrocketing childhood cancers, or impact your future ability to have grandchildren?

So, today the public is pushed to continue to inject their babies with both male and female DNA, with no investigation of the possible mutagenic (genetic alteration) impact it might be having. We watch sky-rocketing rates of childhood cancer and donate money to those searching for ‘cures’. Many parents watch helplessly as their adult children struggle with infertility, but very few make any connection to vaccines. Vaccines were never studied to impact any of that.

Does this seem like “safe” science to you?

Please share this information widely.

I highly recommend that you read the full paper by Theresa Deisher on Impact of Environmental Factors on the Prevalence of Autistic Disorder after 1979 published in the Journal of Public Health and Epidemiology on 9 July 2014.

Unvaccinated: Why growing numbers of parents are choosing natural immunity

A new book. This might be the perfect gift for your friend who is pregnant!

Unvaccinated: Why growing numbers of parents are choosing natural immunity for their children by Forrest Maready

I highly admire the work of Forrest Maready. He lives next door, in North Carolina (I live in South Carolina). His family has been profoundly adversely impacted by vaccines, which he only realized AFTER he began to research the topic extensively. He writes with a passion to convey the truth about the benefits of natural immunity and the unintended harm caused by our widespread vaccine recommendations. As a former vaccine proponent, he understands how difficult it is to encounter and process new information that challenges your underlying paradigms.

I have watched many of the 100s of videos he has made. I also met him personally at a meeting in Atlanta and found him to be a very smart, outside the box thinker. The world needs more people fully informed and gently sharing truth. If you read his book, and share it with others, together, we will make an impact!

“If you always wanted to give someone a short, cheap, easy-to-read explanation of why you’ve chosen natural immunity instead of vaccines, I’ve got a new book on Amazon! Only $7 and will change the mind of even the most skeptical mother-in-law!” Forrest Maready

Why are more parents choosing natural immunity for their children? When I first heard that people were purposefully not vaccinating their children, I was shocked. Vaccines have been described as the most incredible medical invention of all time—a miracle of science and technology that has saved the lives of untold millions. I couldn’t believe that seemingly intelligent, educated parents were purposefully foregoing vaccines for their children, and in fact, were so convinced these medical prodecures were harming us, they would go out of their way to try to convince others. When a close friend of mine told me that his infant child was going to be unvaccinated, I thought he was completely insane. After much coaxing, he convinced me to do my own research and challenge him on his beliefs. A few months later, I had read things about vaccines and disease that I had never heard before. Things that no one—including our pediatrician—had ever mentioned. I was convinced there was a giant conspiracy to try and discredit vaccines, but after diving headfirst into recent scientific research seldom mentioned in the news, I eventually came to believe much differently about vaccines and the diseases they are supposed to protect us from. This short book will take you along the same journey I made as I transitioned from a dedicated vaccinating parent to someone who now questions whether any vaccines are actually worth the risk, even in third world countries. It barely scratches the surface of this, the greatest debate of our time, but if nothing else, will give you a clear idea as to why an increasing number of parents are raising their children unvaccinated.

I personally have seen the obvious glowing health of non-vaccinated babies and children. In fact, my husband recently commented that a non-vaccinated baby we know stands out sharply in contrast to other babies of the same age because of his bright perceptive eyes, and vibrant glowing health. While many moms are struggling with breastfeeding, struggling for baby to gain weight, and struggling with many other challenges in the first year of life – which may or may not be connected with receiving so many vaccines – the non-vaccinated babies I have encountered rarely have these issues. Moms who have personally vaccinated one child, but made a choice to not give vaccines to subsequent children, are often amazed at the difference. Doctors who have large numbers of non-vaccinated babies and children in their practise have come to realise they are by far the most healthy children.

Those who choose not to vaccinate are not endangering the world, or taking advantage of the risk and sacrifice of others (as I have been accused). The best gift I can give to the world is a vibrant innate immune system. I support the immune system with clean eating and natural supplements. I do not fear infectious disease for myself, my children, or my grandchildren. Our bodies are designed to have a strong defensive strategy to combat disease when we seek to cooperate with it, and not override it with injecting very questionable ingredients.

Those who convey a sense of shock and horror for “the children who are immune compromised and not able to receive vaccines” need to do a lot more thinking about the issue, which would take at least another whole blog to address.

Be well. Be healthy. Inform yourself. Share truth with love.

Speaking Truth to Power

Posted on by

I was privileged to be able to attend the ACIP (Advisory Committee for Immunisation Pratices) held in June 2018 at the CDC (Centre for Disease Control) in Atlanta, Georgia.This appointed committee is responsible for the recommended schedule of vaccines for children and adults in the USA and now includes 18 different vaccines given in about 62 doses during a child’s first 18 years of life. By 18 months of age this committee recommends a child receive 34 vaccines.[1]

As part of the agenda, time is allowed for Public Comment at the end of each day. The two day meeting is available to live stream. Someone kindly recorded my comments from the two sessions and put them together in a video.

I share with you, not because I think I did a great job or to get your congratulations. This is absolutely essential information that needs to be delivered to every parent making vaccine decisions. There are complex non-specific effects from vaccines. For the lay person, that means, there are unintended consequences. Yet, the ACIP, the CDC, the FDA, the NIH, the HHS, the IOM, the AAP, the AAFP, ACOG, and other esteemed institutions, which claim to promote and protect health, ARE ALL IGNORING powerful evidence of harm. This behaviour has been well entrenched. More and more solid research and evidence is being reported and should be raising serious concerns about the combination of vaccines given, the amount of aluminum in the schedule, the role of human fetal cell contamination, and the serious consequences of giving vaccines to premature babies, etc. Yet all these austere bodies continue to support this enormous toxic burden foisted upon the bodies of babies and children.

It truly must stop. It must be re-evaluated. Yet I felt as if the 14 members of ACIP barely listened to my comments. Will they continue to remain wilfully ignorant of the harm being inflicted on far too many children?  Their two day agenda included discussions of many more vaccines they want to introduce, including a 3rd MMR vaccine because they admit that the vaccine is NOT WORKING! Cutting back or analysing their current recommendations seems far from a priority.

New efforts to push vaccines are particularly disturbing, especially the one from the Americal College of Nurse-Midwives Resources on Immunizations pronouncing “Vaccines are SAFE for you and your baby, even during PREGNANCY!”, a blatant falsehood since vaccines have never been studied for safety during pregnancy and all ingredients are known to cross the placenta and the blood brain barrier of the vulnerable developing infant.

Please share. Please pray. Please protect your baby, and your neighbours’ baby.
