IN PREGNANCY, LESS IS MORE

pregnant-peek“We have clear evidence that the flu is usually not dangerous to pregnant women, but we have no clear evidence that the flu shot is safe for them. What we do know is that the less we interfere with a pregnant woman’s bodily integrity, the better the outcome.
 
When you look at the scientific data showing that pregnant women are at no more risk from the flu than non-pregnant women, and that the flu vaccine can be ineffective and may actually cause harm, it is difficult to understand how the government could recommend that pregnant women be vaccinated against influenza.”

“After conducting an extensive review of all the available scientific literature, David M. Ayoub, MD, and F. Edward Yazbak, MD, came to the same conclusion. Writing in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons, they stated: ‘The [CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunisation Practices’s] citations and the current literature indicate that influenza infection is rarely a threat to a normal pregnancy.'”

Passive placental immunity and maternal breast milk is known to provide protection via transfer of living maternal cells for most babies for around the first six months.

30 Ways in 30 Days to Explore Vaccines

Posted on by

IMG_1725I have passionately researched many aspects of health ever since I discovered I was pregnant in 1982. I was blessed to come across a copy of Mothering Magazine’s collection of articles on vaccination which was the beginning of my research and detailed reading on the subject.

I also had the opportunity over 20 years to discuss vaccination with someone close to me who was employed by the CDC as a virologist, who had trained in the medical system, was thoroughly versed in vaccine science and supported the vaccine program. He did, however, respect my right as a parent to protect my child from the known risk of injecting vaccines. He also came to understand the personal health benefits of a non-vaccinating lifestyle as he watched my children grow up healthy.

As I continued to research for over 30 years I have only become more convinced that avoiding vaccines will lead to a far better outcome than giving them. I tried to express some of these ideas in 30 different ways. I pray they may bless and help inform young parents.

What Do we Do?

WDWD1When the Son of Man returns, how many will He find on earth who have faith? Luke 18:8

Jesus appeared to His followers many times during the 40 days after His death and resurrection.

In one of these encounters they asked him, “Lord, has the time come for you to free Israel and restore our kingdom?” Acts 1:6

They were thinking small. They were thinking of the history they knew. They were thinking of their own personal goals and aspirations. They wanted their country to be restored to its former glory. They thought they understood God’s will.

In the same way, many today are looking to God to restore America to its former glory.

I would argue that the glory of America is gone. The government has been taken over by corrupt entities with an agenda to dominate and control. This agenda is diametrically opposed to the views and aspirations of the majority of Americans.

This is not a situation that will be solved through political maneuvering. It is not going to be remediated through a change of political parties. The agenda of those with control is above politics and exert strong influence on both sides to manipulate towards their ends.

I believe Jesus’ purposes transcends the personal comfort of the American people. He is Lord. He has conquered death to be our Savior and fix our biggest problem, yet if we expect that His agenda is to repair our broken country, or help us to be comfortable, we are as naïve as the disciples.

Jesus answered: The Father alone [knows what is going on] and has the authority to set dates and times, and these details are not for you to know. Acts 1:7 

So what are we supposed to know and do in this crazy world we live in when we are faced with power-crazed domination?

Politics gone crazy, health care that is killing and maiming in massive numbers, poisoning through our food, water, air, drugs and even supposed ‘health and safety’ measures like vaccines? We have been lied to by main stream media, harassed by CPS, children kidnapped from innocent loving parents, spied on by our own government, and more. Is there any wonder we are fearful, untrusting, and suffering from anxiety?

Who do we trust?

Where do we turn for answers, hope, direction, wisdom, and safety?

The early disciples must have had similar fears, tension and anxiety.

Jesus told them: You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. You will be MY WITNESSES, telling people everywhere ABOUT ME. Acts 1:7

Today we have the most incredible medium ever in the history of the world to share the message of Jesus.

124 Countries ReachedMy humble blog which is my small attempt to share truth and admittedly not all that impressive, certainly not perfect, just me, a solo operation with a few encouraging friends here and there. I’ve never received any monetary gain. I seek to share truth as God places it on my heart. I research, read and seek to understand. I share stories. I try to share my faith. Just this little blog has so far reached nearly 62,000 views by people throughout our world, accessed by people in 124 countries.

This is spiritual warfare people. (Ephesians 6)

We are in a spiritual battle.

The goal is not a comfortable life.

The goal is not the restoration of a nation you love.

The goal is your soul and the souls of every person on earth.

The enemy is powerful – BUT NOT ALL POWERFUL. Jesus Christ has supreme authority over all things (Colossians 1:15-20). He could immediately vanquish and restore His creation, BUT

WDWD2

WDWD3

WDWD4He has instructed and empowered His followers to share His message in this lost sick world.

The time may be short. Our comfortable life may be in jeopardy. Our mission is NOT to restore our comfortable life, but to help restore lost souls to Jesus.

How can we best respond to this mission?

 

SIDS & Vaccines

Poster BabyDoctors confidently assert that vaccines are safe and can in no way be implicated in SIDS.

Many parents have had to learn the hard way.

In 2007 three baby boys in Idaho all died within a week of receiving their 4-month shots. In this news report, a heartbroken mother recounts the tragedy, and the realization that her robustly healthy baby had died because of the shots her doctor had told her, were necessary to keep him healthy.

By 6 months a baby would have received a cumulative total of 16 needles with 60 antigens. Most parents are not aware of how many shots nor what they contain. Many doctors are not even familiar with the ingredients in the vaccines, but they confidently assert that they are all safe. The combination of all these shots has never been tested.

Yet doctors, like the one in the video, confidently assert that it is not the vaccines that are killing babies, they just don’t know what it is.

When enough of the public understands the facts, they will drive the change in policy. Doctors are educated by the pharmaceutical companies who are making huge profits from the vaccine program. The CDC and other governmental organizations understand more about the danger and harm of vaccines, but have too much at stake to allow the true dangers of vaccines to be publicized (see #CDCwhistleblower). Main Stream Media is controlled by the pharmaceutical interests so news reports like this one from 2007 have been squelched.

Get the facts. Giving your baby the recommended shots is a greater risk than the doctors, nurses and government agencies would like you to know. Many parents have shared their stories of vaccine injury in a campaign called Hear This Well. Their sole desire is to spare you the pain they have experienced through vaccine violence. The sheer number of parents sharing their stories is profound.

These parents shared their story with me. They believed vaccines were necessary for their babies. They followed the recommendations of their doctor and the government health organizations. Their babies died and now they want to help others avoid that trauma. Educate before you vaccinate.

 

Caring for Older Parents

Health is a ChoiceI saw a middle-aged woman having lunch with a much older women in Panera recently. Our town is filled with chain restaurants and Panera happens to be one of the more ‘healthy’ options (I realize that’s a stretch, but we don’t have many options here). I happened to overhear their conversation about vaccines. I REALLY WANTED to go and help inform them. My daughter said I needed restraint; they didn’t want my information.

Fran y MeliBasically the younger woman wanted to make sure the older women (mother, aunt or someone she loved) had every vaccine applicable to her. The younger women was equally keen to get all the vaccines recommended for herself. They spoke about the flu shot, the pneumonia shot and the varicella shot (supposedly to prevent shingles).

They have been lied to.

They have been deceived by marketing and medical professionals they trust – who mainly rely on pharmaceutical companies for their ongoing training.

In case you think your doctor or nurse administering a vaccine knows exactly what is in the shot and has read the entire package insert detailing risks & those to whom the shot should NOT be given, think again. Ask them questions.

“Vaccines aren’t studied in any medical profession (at least not in-depth). People are told they should get it or give it and no questions are asked. It is sad. Pediatricians are the worst with just going with the expectation without really knowing themselves what is in them…” A nurse working in USA

Many nurses and doctors ARE well-informed. They urge people NOT to accept vaccines because the potential for harm is greater than any proposed benefit. Many times these dedicated caring health professionals have learned the hard way through seeing vaccine injury close up. They are often harassed and scorned by the majority in their profession.

I pray for TRUTH to be revealed so that people will stop harming those they love in the false hope of protecting them from illness.

Lose your heatlh

If you love the older people in your life, please don’t accept shots thinking they are good for you. Ask questions. Don’t let the people you love receive shots. The toxic chemicals are especially detrimental for the elderly.

At a minimum read every package insert that comes from the manufacturer that outlines in-depth the details of the ingredients, side effects, contra-indications and symptoms to be aware of.

If you are a Christian you need to know that many of the vaccines have been formulated based on the use of human fetal cell tissue – i.e. aborted babies. Whenever you see these ‘codes’ in the ingredient list, you know that the vaccine was formulated with aborted fetal cell tissue that was harvested immediately after a ‘voluntary’ abortion, taken to a scientific lab and grown into cells that could propagate themselves and help grow viral tissue.

  • WI-38 (Zostavax for shingles, Varivax for chicken pox, MMR, MR, rubella combination shots)
  • MRC-5 (Varivax for chicken pox, Hep A, Heb B, Poliovax, Rabies, Zostavax for shingles, Acambis 1000 for ‘new’ smallpox)
  • RA 273 (MMR, MR, rubella combination shots)
  • WI-26 (Rheumatoid arthritis shot)
  • HEK-293 (Avian flu in production)
  • PER C6 (HIV in development)

Please check out this information. If you or your older loved one are PRO life and abhor killing innocent babies in their mother’s wombs, you need to think carefully about accepting these vaccines.

Turmeric_main_0127The video below, Turmeric Curcumin Reprogramming Cancer Cell Death, is full of great information. I LOVE the beginning. Please at least watch the first 2 minutes for a great explanation of how your body is a brand new you about every 100 days! Every cell in your body is freshly made that often – so the building blocks your body has to work with are VERY IMPORTANT! There are only 3 components for building the new you.

Turmeric is excellent in programming cancer cell death. It is also a great anti-inflammatory and that is why I look for ways to imbibe it EVERY SINGLE DAY! I add it to my breakfast, add it to my raw milk afternoon pick me up, every stew or soup, and even in raw chocolate! Enjoy your curry!

What is your favorite way to include more turmeric in your diet?

 

Informed Consent

Surprised Face

By Tom McLachlan

Informed consent includes two variables, informed, and consent.

With me so far?

Consent

It is not consent if you say “No”.

It is not consent if you would say “No”, but were not fully informed of the consequences

It is not consent if you are rushed into deciding and haven’t had enough time to figure out what you want to do.

It is not consent if you are afraid of being bullied, or humiliated.

It is not consent unless you say “Yes”. And you’re not pressured into it.

Informed consent:

It is not informed consent if you are misinformed or not informed about something you think you need to know about.

It is not informed consent if you are likely to be hurt and you are not told.

Great thoughts by Tom McLachlan, an avid health researcher who is passionate about sharing the truth he gains with parents so that they can raise healthy children without compromising their immune system through vaccines and other dangerous routines promoted as “health” practices.

Baby napI would also add, that my guess is that >95% of vaccines given to everyone today (including recommended vaccines for babies, children, teens, young adults and adults) are given in violation of informed consent. Pharmaceutical companies are not required to provide informed consent. Doctors, nurses and others who administer the vaccines and “provide the information regarding the recommended shots” and answer any patient questions – are themselves NOT INFORMED. So there is absolutely zero chance a parent or patient will be able to be informed.

The truth is vaccines do cause harm. It is an established fact. The harm ranges from extreme (i.e. death and permanent severe disability) to future negative health implications of which we still do not fully understand (chronic illness, auto-immune disorders, allergies, behavior and learning disabilities, cancer, etc.). Inform yourself because your medical advisors themselves are rarely informed beyond telling you of your great need to accept their shots.
