Congrats on your PREGNANCY!

My dear friend

I’m thrilled that you are bringing a new life into the world. As a mom of five and grandmother of eight, I see every pregnancy as a blessing and the birth of every baby a cause of great rejoicing.

There is something very important I would love to discuss with you. Something interesting has happened in the world, accelerating over the last few years. Topics that were once openly discussed have been castigated outside of ‘allowable’ conversation. Those who continue to try to discuss such topics with a viewpoint that differs from the ‘acceptable’ narrative are given pejorative terms and consigned to limited influence through a modern type of ‘book burning.’

Current events happening in our world may cause everyone to re-evaluate what is going on.

I’ve been exploring and investigating the topic of routine childhood shots to prevent ‘infectious diseases’ ever since I was pregnant with our first child who was born in December 1982. Back then it was via print publications, but with the advent of the information age I have been able to find innumerable resources on this topic. My goal is to uncover truth and share it with parents, grandparents, and anyone interested in the health of future generations.

I’ve written over 400 blogs spanning a variety of topics, but mostly related to health and babies. My website has had over 1.3 million views. I receive no remuneration for this work. God laid it on my heart to share what I have learned. Most of the time I include references to source material so that the topics I research and the facts I include can be thoroughly investigated. I don’t want anyone to take my advice, but I’d love to spark curiosity and investigation.

We ALL want healthy babies. Parents universally, with very rare exceptions, will do their utmost to give their baby the best start in life. Selfishly, having a healthy baby means a happy baby. Happy healthy babies are far easier to raise.

Western society is built on the idea that there are trustworthy experts in every field. We can’t all expect to know the finer details in every subject, so we rely on the experts who have studied and spent years refining their knowledge in their area of expertise. There was a time when this was a more or less safe strategy. The problem today is that there are a lot of conflicts of interests in the realm of information. Many highly respected doctors, scientists, parents and lawyers have investigated health policy and find many disturbing facts. They speak out with facts, evidence, history, court cases, etc. but are ignored because their revelations challenge the foundation of modern medicine and deeply entrenched public health policies. There is a religious fervor guarding and protecting certain policies that are pushed on all babies, children, and now even pregnant women, and promoted in the public arena as the only option.

Media Consolidation: The Illusion of Choice. Media has never been more consolidated. 6 media giants now control a staggering 90% of what we read, watch, or listen to.

Mainstream opinion is also heavily reliant on media representation. Investigation will reveal that nearly all forms of media are owned by a handful of companies and the information they present is tightly controlled. Advertising revenues depend on corporations whose primary obligation is to their share-holders and making a profit. The USA is one of only two countries in the world that allows direct to consumer advertising of pharmaceutical products. The pharmaceutical lobby is the largest lobby group and applies enormous pressure on all levels of government. A review of pharmaceutical revenue trends over the past 30 years is extremely revealing. Investigation of legal cases against these companies, and the fines imposed over the last 30 years will shock you.

I can’t cover every fact in this short piece, but I encourage you to find the information you need to understand this critically important issue. Your baby has been entrusted to you by God. You want the best for your baby. Question every routine medical procedure. Informed consent, by definition, requires that you know all the possible benefits and all the possible risks of every medical procedure. Don’t expect that you will receive full disclosure in a short office visit with a medical professional. They have been trained in a system and operate according to the beliefs of that system. Jesus told us that when a blind guide leads the blind, they both fall into a pit. Anyone who adheres with religious fervor to an orthodoxy that is not allowed to be questioned, is choosing to be willfully blind. Following advice that is not open to being questioned can result in extreme harm, but because of the protection in law, the full force of the decision lands squarely on the backs of parents alone. Companies that manufacture and distribute vaccines are shielded from all liability for any harm these products may cause.

There is no debate that vaccines cause injury and death. The facts speak for themselves: over $4.4 billion has been paid through the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) from 1988 – 2020. A detailed analysis of the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) concludes that “fewer than 1% of vaccine adverse events are reported. Low reporting rates preclude or slow the identification of “problem” drugs and vaccines that endanger public health.” They further found that possible reactions to routine shots given were around 2.6% of all vaccines given, not ‘one in a million’ as often claimed.[1]

My intent is not to bug you, annoy you, or ostracize myself from you. I would love to dialogue with you about this topic. In our crazy world I am tempted to just keep quiet and NOT share this vitally important information with you. But my conscience will not allow me to do that. I don’t claim that I am the only source of knowledge or that everything I say is 100% truth, but I have done my best to present information founded on truth. I urge you to explore for yourself. I’d love to discuss any aspect of this information that you feel I don’t fully understand, or have been misguided. I created a page to help those new to exploring this topic. I consider it like a “Table of Contents” for a book. The url is meant to be easy to remember and share: Journeyboost.com/vaccines

That is just a glimpse. I consider myself something of a vaccine apologist. I’m on a quest for truth.

As an aside, I started my quest for truth regarding infant health when I learned the powerful health impact of breastfeeding. Our Creator designed a brilliant way for moms to pass on health and immunity to their babies. I’ve dedicated much of my life to promote and help moms breastfeed their babies. While simple, it’s not always easy to succeed. For the longterm health of your baby, line up all the support you can in advance to ensure breastfeeding success. Perseverance and support are the biggest factors that will help you deliver the vital nourishment and immune protection you baby needs.

In every topic, the truth is harder and harder to find in the midst of so much deception and censoring. Parents face more pressure than ever before to conform to recommendations without asking questions. Parents don’t know they can refuse.

The undeniable truth I keep bumping into is the reality that non vaccinated babies, children, and adults – if you can find them – are generally robustly healthy. God designed a brilliant innate immune system that works very effectively when we have indoor plumping and adequate nutrition. Of course there are countries in the world where people desperately need clean sources of water and struggle with the food supply. The population may not be robustly healthy, but vaccines do not help them in those circumstances. A career medical researcher, Dr Peter Aaby, published his shocking results after decades of collecting data showing that some of the vaccines given routinely in an urban community in Guinea-Bissau actually caused more deaths than they prevented. His 2017 paper reports that all cause mortality more than doubled after the introduction of the DTP vaccine.[2]

We all want healthy children. Have we been deceived? What is the best route to health? I encourage all parents, grandparents, teachers, and health professionals to remain open minded and critically examine all the information you receive. Don’t blindly trust me. Don’t blindly trust anyone.

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 and blessed with a husband of nearly 40 years, five precious babies, and now get to delight as nine grandchildren grow!

[1] Preliminary data were collected from June 2006 through October 2009 on 715,000 patients, and 1.4 million doses (of 45 different vaccines) were given to 376,452 individuals. Of these doses, 35,570 possible reactions (2.6 percent of vaccinations) were identified. This is an average of 890 possible events, an average of 1.3 events per clinician, per month. These data were presented at the 2009 AMIA conference. In addition, ESP:VAERS investigators participated on a panel to explore the perspective of clinicians, electronic health record (EHR) vendors, the pharmaceutical industry, and the FDA towards systems that use proactive, automated adverse event reporting. Adverse events from drugs and vaccines are common, but underreported. Although 25% of ambulatory patients experience an adverse drug event, less than 0.3% of all adverse drug events and 1-13% of serious events are reported to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Likewise, fewer than 1% of vaccine adverse events are reported. Low reporting rates preclude or slow the identification of “problem” drugs and vaccines that endanger public health. https://digital.ahrq.gov/sites/default/files/docs/publication/r18hs017045-lazarus-final-report-2011.pdf

[2] “DTP was associated with 5-fold higher mortality than being unvaccinated. No prospective study has shown beneficial survival effects of DTP. Unfortunately, DTP is the most widely used vaccine, and the proportion who receives DTP3 is used globally as an indicator of the performance of national vaccination programs.

It should be of concern that the effect of routine vaccinations on all-cause mortality was not tested in randomized trials. All currently available evidence suggests that DTP vaccine may kill more children from other causes than it saves from diphtheria, tetanus or pertussis. Though a vaccine protects children against the target disease it may simultaneously increase susceptibility to unrelated infections.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5360569/

Flu Shot for Employment

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Inject my baby with Aluminum?

Posted on by
Reply

I am compiling another blog with information on aluminum because my son-in-law said his sister is having trouble finding reliable information about the harmful impact of aluminum in vaccines. Her doctor assured her that we ingest more aluminum than is ever injected via vaccines, so there is nothing to worry about. I have nothing but LOVE for parents seeking to navigate this information and make decisions about vaccines for their babies and children.

Take your time. You can always give vaccines later. You can never retrieve a vaccine after it is injected. Understand that taking time to research vaccines, read the vaccine package inserts, and learn about the infectious diseases of childhood and how to treat them effectively and naturally, is the most important thing you can do to protect your child. The hours you spend is probably a great deal MORE than your doctor received during their medical training. 

With all my heart I wish I was not compiling this information. I wish that the substances in vaccines were just as safe as the CDC and the many proponents proclaim them to be. My father worked at the CDC for his entire career after he finished his medical training. He was a kind, compassionate father, grandfather, and Christ follower. He trained as a pediatrician but devoted his career to research in the hope of finding answers to heal disease. He thought he was working for an organization committed to the best for public health. But, recent research and understanding of the impact of aluminum in our body has caused even the most devoted orthodox scientists to reexamine this critically important issue. A commitment to TRUTH will question. A commitment to profit, pride, or career will lead to HIDING or obfuscating this information. 

In the last ten years scientists have discovered that aluminum adjuvant, when injected, can  Impair brain development Remain in the brain much longer than thought; Delivered to the brain by macrophages that grab the aluminum from the vaccine injection site and recirculate it; Small doses repeatedly injected, as in vaccination, may actually be more harmful; and  Remarkably high levels of aluminum has been found in the brains of people diagnosed with autism on autopsy. [1]
[1] https://childrenshealthdefense.org/news/a-lone-fda-scientist-could-end-the-autism-epidemic/

As a parent, it is up to you to protect your baby. Your doctor most likely has not been exposed to the details of recent discoveries regarding aluminum. Your doctor receives a lot of training on HOW TO get parents to comply with vaccines, but not so much on the ingredients, potential side effects, or how to recognize and deal with vaccine injury.

Ask anyone promoting vaccines for your baby or yourself these questions:

  1. Is injecting aluminum compounds safe?
  2. Is it safe to inject aluminum combined with other toxic chemicals into the human body?
  3. Has aluminum in vaccines been well tested and proven safe?
  4. How much aluminum will accumulate in the body if you follow the entire CDC schedule?
  5. Do you know how much aluminum a baby/child can handle?
  6. What happens once the aluminum is injected into the body?
  7. Where does it go?
  8. How do you get the aluminum out once injected? By what route is it eliminated?
  9. What kind of symptoms or illnesses can come from having too much aluminum in the body?
  10. Can you stop the inflammation or autoimmunity in the body once it has started?
  11. Are you up to date on the most recent aluminum research?

There are different aluminum compounds used in vaccines. For example:

  1. Aluminum Hydroxide (Al(OH)3), usually 500 mcg per dose.
  2. Aluminum Hydroxyphosphate (HAlO5P), usually 250 mcg per dose.
  3. Amorphous Aluminum Hydroxyphosphate Sulfate-AAHS (AlHO9PS-3), usually 225 mcg per dose.

How much aluminum adjuvant is in the vaccines recommended for our babies?

Those amounts were taken from vaccine manufacturer’s product inserts and the CDC’s 2016 childhood vaccine schedule, per Neil Miller. “Many people sincerely believe that all vaccines are safe, adverse reactions are rare, and no peer-reviewed scientific studies exist showing that vaccines can cause harm. This book — Miller’s Review of Critical Vaccine Studies — provides the other side of the story that is not commonly told. It contains summaries of 400 important scientific papers to help parents and researchers enhance their understanding of vaccinations.”

More resources on this topic, look up the research done by these aluminum experts…

Christopher Exley PhD, an English chemist known for his research on the health effects of aluminium exposure. He is Professor of Bioinorganic Chemistry and group leader of the Bioinorganic Chemistry Laboratory at Keele University. 

Dr. Romain K. Gherardi, Université Paris–Est Créteil (France), 2015. A significant contributor to the documentary Injecting Aluminum. In the early 90s, a mysterious muscular disease with symptoms that included severe muscle and joint pain began to surface among multiple patients in France. A team of doctors in Paris discovered that these patients had developed a new disease called Macrophagic Myofascitis, or MMF, which occurs when the aluminum hydroxide adjuvant from a vaccine remains embedded in the muscle tissue. What the pharmaceutical companies don t make public is that the aluminum adjuvant was never rigorously tested* before going on the market and there are alternative, much less toxic, adjuvants available. Featuring interviews with patients, doctors, scientists, and influential politicians, Injecting Aluminum examines aluminum s devastating effects on the human body and calls into question the public health policies around aluminum in vaccines.

“…it is somewhat surprising to find that in spite of over 80 years of use, the safety of Al adjuvants continues to rest on assumptions rather than scientific evidence.”

“Thus alum and other poorly biodegradable materials taken up at the periphery by phagocytes circulate in the lymphatic and blood circulation and can enter the brain using a Trojan horse mechanism similar to that used by infectious particles. Previous experiments have shown that alum administration can cause CNS [central nervous system] dysfunction and damage, casting doubts on the exact level of alum safety.”- Dr. Romain K. Gherardi, Université Paris-Est Créteil (France), 2015

“There is no known safe limit of injection of aluminum adjuvants. It has never been scientifically or experimentally determined. When it comes to vaccines, the amount used is based on efficacy, NOT safety. Based on the only limit that exists – not for an intramuscular injection of a vaccine, but an FDA regulation on parenteral IVs given to premature infants which is set at 4-5mcg/kg aluminum per day – children are receiving far more aluminum in one “well-child visit” than is considered safe to prevent central nervous system toxicity.” -from Ashley Everly, a toxicologist. Visit her website.

AAHS is used in the Gardasil vaccine (two doses are currently recommended for girls AND boys from 9 to 11 years) and is highly reactogenic. Described as a slurry because the method of producing it is inexact, the number of types of impurities in each dose are unknown (per label), and precise doses per vaccine cannot be guaranteed. Get all the details from Dr. Suzanne Humphries in this excellent video from 2017, posted below.

“the safety of aluminum-based vaccine adjuvants, like that of any environmental factor presenting a risk of neurotoxicity and to which the young child is exposed, must be seriously evaluated without further delay, particularly at a time when the CDC is announcing a still in-creasing prevalence of autism spectrum disorders, of 1 child in 54 in the USA” (2020 figure for 2016). https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0946672X20301978

Flu Shot, or Not. 2020

Posted on by

Yellow diamond warning sign with "flu season ahead"

Get ready. There is going to be a HUGE push this season for EVERYONE to get a flu shot. You will be told many different things to try and gain your cooperation. You may be offered money or other enticements from the stores pushing them. You will be facing this push everywhere you go! If you thought it was bad in previous years, I predict the push for flu shots will be much worse this year!

Many will imply that the flu shot will protect you from corona – and they’ve been pushing fear and dread of THAT for so many months that many may be pushed to accept.

Will the flu shot help you stay healthier during flu season? OR, could it possibly leave you even more vulnerable to sickness? My opinion is well formed, but I was very surprised to read that the British Medical Journal published a piece by ALLAN S. CUNNINGHAM on 23 February 2020 that draws some interesting conclusions:

Tamiflu & influenza vaccines: more harm than good? | The BMJ

…we have spent billions on a drug that possibly does more harm than good. (BMJ 2020;368:m626—February 19) The same thing can be said about influenza vaccines.
We hear so much about the vital importance of flu shots that it will come as a nasty surprise to learn that they increase the risk of illness from noninfluenza virus infections such as rhinoviruses, coronaviruses, RS viruses, parainfluenza viruses, adenoviruses, HMP viruses and enteroviruses. This has been shown in at least two studies that have received little attention from public health authorities:…

To my knowledge, the foregoing risk figures have not been explicitly published anywhere. They will not be found in the abstracts of the articles, so you have to go to the tables and look at the numbers themselves.

What is going on? We are told year after year that influenza vaccines are 60% effective…30% effective…45% effective…etc. Does this mean that they prevent a significant proportion of all viral respiratory infections? No, these reports are based on non-randomized surveys known as “test-negative case-control studies”; they look only at influenza infections and make no attempt to look at the other 200-plus respiratory viruses. Furthermore, they make no attempt to look at any vaccine adverse effects such as seizures, narcolepsy, Guillain-Barre’ syndrome, or oculorespiratory syndrome. Tamiflu & influenza vaccines: more harm than good?

Keeping up-to-date on health information can be daunting. Contradictory information abounds. Who do we believe? The best question to ask is, does this person, sharing this opinion have something to gain? Are they profiting from the sale of this product? If so, they are not ALWAYS telling you the entire truth. Find unbiased sources for your health information. Did you know that Medical Care is the third leading cause of death in our country?

Vaccine injury is real. Injury and death occur far more frequently than we are told. All parties involved in promoting vaccines are 100% liability free. They face no consequences no matter how their products may cause harm.

If you are concerned about avoiding illness during the winter, one of the most critically important things you can do is maintain good vitamin D levels. Avoiding bad food and eating good food will also give your body the most help in staying healthy. God designed our body with a marvelous innate immune system. We support our immune system with wholesome living. Men have been trying for decades to by-pass God’s design with vaccines or drugs to ‘fix’ something. Huge markets have been created through blindly following those peddling their sophisticated ‘cures.’

A 2016 study by John Hopkins Medical center published in the BMJ… Did you miss it? How confident should we be in our health care?

It makes sense to QUESTION EVERYTHING! You don’t have to be a doctor to ask questions and consider alternatives for yourself. A whopping 10% of all deaths in the U.S. are due to preventable medical mistakes!

https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/news/media/releases/study_suggests_medical_errors_now_third_leading_cause_of_death_in_the_us

“250,000 deaths per year are due to medical error in the U.S. Their figure, published May 3 in The BMJ, surpasses the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) third leading cause of death — respiratory disease, which kills close to 150,000 people per year.”

Mask Resources short list

Posted on by

I’ve been collecting SO MUCH information and documentation on masks for weeks. Are they helping or hurting? Instead of listing and discussing all the science and opinions available, I found a few great resources – including videos, written summaries, and poetry – for further education and understanding of this complex topic!

Masks Are Neither Effective Nor Safe: A Summary Of The Science
42 scientific references cited, published 14 July 2020

The foregoing data show that masks serve more as instruments of obstruction of normal breathing, rather than as effective barriers to pathogens. Therefore, masks should not be used by the general public, either by adults or children, and their limitations as prophylaxis against pathogens should also be considered in medical settings.

Blaylock: Face Masks Pose Serious Risks To The Healthy
13 scientific references cited, published 11 May 2020

By wearing a mask, the exhaled viruses will not be able to escape and will concentrate in the nasal passages, enter the olfactory nerves and travel into the brain.Russell Blaylock, MD

As for the scientific support for the use of face mask, a recent careful examination of the literature, in which 17 of the best studies were analyzed, concluded that, “ None of the studies established a conclusive relationship between mask/respirator use and protection against influenza infection.”1   Keep in mind, no studies have been done to demonstrate that either a cloth mask or the N95 mask has any effect on transmission of the COVID-19 virus. Any recommendations, therefore, have to be based on studies of influenza virus transmission. And, as you have seen, there is no conclusive evidence of their efficiency in controlling flu virus transmission.

A 22 minute video segment from The Highwire with Del Bigtree published on 25 June 2020: ANTI-MASKERS: RIGHT OR SELFISH? As Americans turn against each other over mask mandates, many scientists are speaking out, including former professor of physics at the University of Ottawa, Denis Rancourt, PhD, who just released a paper compiling seven studies on the science surrounding the effectiveness of masks. #AntiMaskers#MasksWork#Coronavirus#Covid19#Health#Lockdown

Censored: A Review Of Science Relevant To COVID-19 Social Policy And Why Face Masks Don’t Work
by Denis G. Rancourt, published April 2020

The present paper about masks illustrates the degree to which governments, the mainstream media, and institutional propagandists can decide to operate in a science vacuum, or select only incomplete science that serves their interests. Such recklessness is also certainly the case with the current global lockdown of over 1 billion people, an unprecedented experiment in medical and political history.

Denis G. Rancourt is a researcher at the Ontario Civil Liberties Association (OCLA.ca) and is formerly a tenured professor at the University of Ottawa, Canada. This paper was originally published at Rancourt’s account on ResearchGate.net. As of June 5, 2020, this paper was removed from his profile by its administrators at Researchgate.net/profile/D_Rancourt. At Rancourt’s blog ActivistTeacher.blogspot.com, he recounts the notification and responses he received from ResearchGate.net and states, “This is censorship of my scientific work like I have never experienced before.”

Poetry Pause: “Boiling the Frog; It’s Just A Mask” by Forrest Maready


It’s just a mask.
It’s just two weeks.
It’s just non-essential businesses.
It’s just to keep from overwhelming the hospitals.
It’s just until cases go down more.
It’s just to keep others from being scared.
It’s just for a few more weeks.
It’s just communion or singing. You can still meet.
It’s just until we get a vaccine.
It’s just a few side effects.
It’s just a bracelet.
It’s just to let people know you’re safe to be around.
It’s just an app.
It’s just to let others know who you’ve been in contact with.
It’s just a few more months.
It’s just a video.
It’s just an email account.
It’s just for protecting others from hate speech.
It’s just a few people.
It’s just a credit card company. You can use cash.
It’s just a few places that don’t take cash.
It’s just a little chip.
It’s just for medical information and paying for things.
It’s just so you can travel.
It’s just so you can get your driver’s license.
It’s just so you can vote.
It’s just for a few more years.
It’s just a statue.
It’s just a building.
It’s just a song.
It’s just a few words.
It’s just a piece of paper.
It’s just a book.
It’s just a movie.
It’s just a flag.
It’s just a piece of cloth.
It’s just a blood test.
It’s just a scan.
It’s just a chip.
It’s just a dog.
It’s just a clump of cells.
It’s just the bad people.
It’s just the undesirables.
It’s just the Jews.
It’s just the men.
It’s just the Christians.
It’s just the people that don’t think like we do.
It’s just… wait…
It’s not just a mask

From an 8 minute video on Fear and Social Control:

“What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, little by little, to being governed by surprise; to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if the people could not understand it, it could not be released because of national security. And their sense of identification with Hitler, their trust in him, made it easier to widen this gap and reassured those who would otherwise have worried about it.”–from Chapter 13, “But Then It Was Too Late”

Some of my personal thoughts on mask wearing…

There isn't a mask BIG enough to protect us from everything going on in this world. We all need to put on the full armor of God!

How about you? Do you have thoughts about the big mask push? Do you have some great succinct persuasive resources to share? Thank you for your comments and contribution to this discussion.

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 and blessed to bring five precious babies into the world, and now get to watch nine grandchildren grow!

While natural remedies might not work for everyone, these tips were gleaned from a large number of women eager to share what worked for them. Some of the suggestions are repeated over by many women. I decided to include most of the repetitions… If you feel you have tried everything, maybe you will find a new idea to try. There is conflicting information so you will have to explore and discover for yourself. If you “have tried everything” perhaps skip to the end to TheMomentsAtHome article… I’d love to know what has worked for you. Please share in the comments. Thanks

Peppermint plant in a small container
Vitamin B6 for Morning Sickness
  • Everyone says B6[1], and they’re right except that it takes time to build up enough B6 in your system, so you can’t expect quick results. A person should start taking it as soon as they find out they’re pregnant. The wrist bands work. I also liked a small amount (maybe 2 Tbsp) of lemon juice with salt. This works when nausea begins. Also, eating sweets will make it worse. Eat starch and protein, such as a bean and cheese burrito, right before bed.
  • Linum B6 just before bed. It is B6 in a flax based capsule. Works wonders!
  • Don’t drink fast. Take very little sips.
  • You won’t find many articles on it, but cannabis is very good for morning sickness and mothers that smoke it have babies that are more alert and start socializing sooner … God’s favorite plant.
  • If dehydrated, water can make it worse. Make an electrolyte drink with a pinch of salt, honey, lemon, and ginger. Sip that slowly.
  • Nux vomica is an amazing homeopathic remedy for nausea, vomiting, and motion sickness. It may also help with heartburn.
  • Organic apple cider vinegar with the mother. Ginger. Peppermint. Pickles. Lemon water.
  • Sour hard candy like jolly ranchers.
  • Magnesium
  • Constantly drinking sparkling water with fresh ginger. And popcorn was my staple! But popcorn made on the stove top, not microwaved.
  • Sour candy
  • Ginger tea
  • Sea band motion sickness bracelets.
  • Ginger
  • Floradix liquid calcium and magnesium.
  • An apple helped, usually nothing else I tried did. I had HORRIBLE entire pregnancy long sickness with my second.
  • A very weak ginger tea. Sip it, and eat protein, or drink protein shakes.
  • Kombucha!
  • The organic ginger Moscow mule simple truth Kroger mix! It’s perfect for so many reasons! (yes of course it’s alcohol free, it’s just an awesome thing to sip on!).
  • B6 was magic for me. https://www.uofmhealth.org/health-library/tn9126
  • I made my daughter a rollerball using doTERRA essential oils for down her spine, back of neck and wrists I personally sucked on hard candy lemon drops, they were sweet on the outside and sour inside. 
  • CBD oil [I highly recommend finding an organic full spectrum oil. I’ve found a great CBD oil with a 30 day money back guarantee].
  • Red jelly beans.
  • Hot caramel apple cider.
  • Homeopathy.
  • I have a friend who swears by apples and it has worked for most people that have tried it.
  • Almonds.
  • Dyclegis helped me so much this time! I know it is a med but I couldn’t function without it.
  • Saltine crackers.
  • Lots of good snacks around the clock… Till this fades.
  • I swear by Seabands.
  • This works: get a bunch of fresh ginger. Scrape off the peel and grind it to a pulp in the blender (very easy). Pack into a jar and add as much honey as you have ginger, half and half. Stir and refrigerate. Put 2 – 4 spoonfuls into hot or cold water and stir. Super yummy, honey is all melted in and mixes easily, the ginger settles the nausea almost immediately, and the ginger is good for you!
  • Baking soda water if it’s an emergency. Eat lots of alkaline foods. Nothing greasy for dinner. Take calcium and magnesium at night. And make sure to drink electrolytes at day time. 
  • Ginger tea.
  • I used ginger chews.
  • Sleep.
  • Smelling peppermint essential oil.
  • Magnesium!
  • Peppermint.
  • Gripe water.
  • A lack of B vitamins, especially B6 has been shown in medical studies to be low in women with hyperemesis grad. Also, try a spoonful of activated charcoal or bentonite clay on an empty stomach. Morning sickness may be a sign of toxicity – the body trying to get rid of it – watch the foods you eat.
  • Prego pops worked really well for me … and REAL ginger ale.
  • Natural didn’t work for me. I tried ginger, B6, wrist sickness pressure bands, peppermint and prig pops, staying hydrated and eating small and often … crackers etc. I did diclegis third pregnancy and it was wonderful, just had my baby 3 weeks ago. Healthy and beautiful. Did Zofran second time and nothing first time. I believe you do the pills to stay out of hospital. I’m sick entire 9 months too. It’s a killer. Try diclegis if you are not totally against the drugs. It’s the less of 2 evils and will keep you functioning very well I might add. 
  • Ginger tea & ginger candies worked so well for me and I had morning sickness something awful. I’d stay away from the Zofran if you can.
  • Ginger, peppermint, digestive enzymes are great, cannabis if it’s legal for medicinal use in your state? I hope you find relief momma! Maybe a tummy tea?
  • You can find cannabis tinctures and edibles that work great and have zero negative effects on health. 
  • Try bitters. I got it on line. You put a few drops of bitters in soda water or a soda drink. Aromatic bitters, brand name is Angostura. A young family member suffers from nausea all the time and this works like a charm. The active ingredient is an herb called gentian.
  • Morning sickness, according to my nutrition doctor, is when a body in early pregnancy is trying to detox itself and everything gets tossed in the stomach overnight so you wake up ill in the morning. The best way to eliminate this is to help with the detoxing process by eating live food only for a few days. I personally would eat tons of fruit because fruit is a natural cleanser. I never had morning sickness with either of mine so I did not have to try this myself but it’s worth a shot?
  • Find acupuncture point P6 on the inner wrist area. Rub, needle. Wear a wrist band with a small bead attached to stimulate the point.
  • Magnesium is essential, obviously tablets won’t stay down, so epson salts baths and magnesium spray on the skin can help.
  • Magnesium spray for sure!!
  • You can also try natural progesterone cream, sold at natural/health stores [my personal recommendation is Progesterall formulated by Dr John Lee]. Rub a dime-sized amount on a different area of your body twice daily. DoTERRA’s peppermint beadlets and the DigestZen oil blend also work great for some.
  • I drank kefir a lot with morning sickness. That was the only thing that really helped.
  • Sniffing fresh lemon helped me. And eating boiled rice with a bit of salt and sprinkled with fresh lemon juice.
  • Raspberry tea. The morning sickness is due to the rising level of HCG (human choriogonadotropic hormone) in your body. It peaks around three months and then it falls off and you start to feel better again. Out of five children I only had severe morning sickness once. I didn’t do much but want to lay on the couch most of the day. It is just something you have to get through knowing it won’t last. 
  • A high quality bio-active B complex such as Garden of Life Raw B, as well as magnesium. Hope it helps!
  • Magnesium, vitamins B6 and B12.
  • Cannabis oil or edibles.
  • Chinese medicine.
  • Try the Homeopathic nux vomica.
  • Try natural calm magnesium and acupuncture works!
  • Pedialyte pops.
  • Cannabis is safe and works wonders for nausea.
  • B6. Raw milk.
  • Sounds like hypermesis graviderum. Look into the hypermesis diet. Eat protein, smell fresh lemon for nausea, use the sea bands. I feel your pain. I was in hospital 2 times with my first child. It gets better the further along you are. Hang in there mama!!!!
  • Extra B6 helped me. I’m 5 days out from my due date and with number 2 and have had nausea and throwing up all 10 months with both pregnancies. Eating a little piece (like size of chocolate chip) of edible before bed helped me sleep without feeling like I was in a boat on days I was extremely bad. Peppermint oil on a sugar cube works, peppermint oil on wrists or neck, and peppermint tea works. Eating fresh ginger, or grating it and adding it to hot water with lemon and a tad bit of honey and sipping on it. Chewing on ice. And on certain days I will take vitamin water and dilute it with water. This time around I only had 2 IVs from dehydration last time it got to point that I was thankful for paramedic friends I have that would come give me them at home in my own bed. 
  • Real fruit juice popsicles.
  • Go on YouTube and search “nausea pregnancy acupuncture”
  • Use SeaBands on your wrists they look like tennis bands but have small weights in them that press on acupuncture points for nausea.
  • Acupunture there are 2 points under the tongue when one has morning sickness. It is because the body has not accepted the pregnancy yet. One treatment should help it is in the middle of the 2 thick blue veins under the tongue if you are afraid of acupuncture you can stimulate the 2 points with clear crystal points.
  • Ginger in hot water with honey.
  • You can find cannabis tinctures and edibles that work great and have zero negative effects on health 🙂
  • Coconut water.

Some thoughts on mask wearing…

Posted on by

Yoda (from Star Wars) wearing a mask

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Fun is not my priority when I think about masks.

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

Christians demonstrate love for others by demonstrating bold faith in God. 

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

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

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

Are we following fools?

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

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

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

Have you investigated the health impact of wearing masks?

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

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

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

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

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

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

A syringe decorated with an American flag lying on top of many $100 notes.

Some conclude that if we stop all vaccines now, the US economy could collapse. If the CDC began only recommending safe vaccines in combinations given that were tested for safety (none) some major pharmaceutical companies might face public wrath and financial devastation.

Could this be the reason that public officials keep pretending our vaccines are safe? Are the possible consequences of admitting the truth far too drastic?

The current rush to produce a new vaccine is impacting the financial markets. Media and government spokespeople continually refer to a vaccine. Statements are made that lockdown will only end with a vaccine. There are approximately 100 different companies joining the gold rush to produce a ‘safe’ vaccine. Could the panic that has been created around the much hyped viral threat be part of a plan to keep the charade going and promote public acceptance for yet another vaccine?

From the book, “What The Pharmaceutical Companies Don’t Want You To Know About Vaccines” By Dr Todd M. Elsner[1]

IF YOU VACCINATE In the first 6 years of life according to the recommendations of CDC, your child receives the following:
•17,500 mcg 2-phenoxyethanol (antifreeze)
•5,700 mcg aluminum (neurotoxin)
•Unknown amounts of fetal bovine serum(aborted cow blood)
•801.6 mcg formaldehyde (carcinogen, embalming agent)
•23,250 mcg gelatin (ground up animal carcasses)
•500 mcg human albumin (human blood)
•760 mcg of monosodium L-glutamate (causes obesity & diabetes)
•Unknown amounts of MRC-5 cells (aborted human babies)
•Over 10 mcg neomycin (antibiotic)
•Over 0.075 mcg polymyxin B (antibiotic)
•Over 560 mcg polysorbate 80 (carcinogen)
•116 mcg potassium chloride (used in lethal injection)
•188 mcg potassium phosphate (liquid fertilizer agent)
•260 mcg sodium bicarbonate (baking soda)
•70 mcg sodium borate (Borax, used for cockroach control)
•54,100 mcg of sodium chloride (table salt)
•Unknown amounts of sodium citrate (food additive)
•Unknown amounts of sodium hydroxide (Danger! Corrosive)
•2,800 mcg sodium phosphate (toxic to any organism)
•Unknown amounts of sodium phosphate monobasic monohydrate (toxic to any organism)
•32,000 mcg sorbitol (Not to be injected)
•0.6 mcg streptomycin (antibiotic)
•Over 40,000 mcg sucrose (cane sugar)
•35,000 mcg yeast protein (fungus)
•5,000 mcg urea (metabolic waste from human urine)
•Other chemical residuals
How many of these ingredients are on the Prop 65 list?

An image of the cover of the book "What The Pharmaceutical Companies Don't Want You to Know About VACCINES" by Dr Todd Elsner. The cover shows a crying baby being jabbed with an abundant number of syringes.

[1] When you go to Amazon to find this book, you will notice a few interesting facts: 1) The book was published in 2009; 2) there are 16 reviews split between one star (69%) and five star (31%); and 3) the only availability seems to be a couple of used copies selling for well over $900.

“This book is a must read for parents, soon to be parents and physicians who regularly administer vaccines. There are over 500 pages of information proving that vaccines are not responsible for the eradication of communicable disease; vaccines have done nothing but promote chronic disease and illness; and vaccines contain the most toxic chemicals known to man. Furthermore, there are close to 2,000 references that back up the information in this book. The references are from studies published in peer reviewed medical journals, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration, the prestigious Institute of Medicine, and from the United States Congressional Reform Committee. Lastly, this book contains all the U.S. licensed vaccines and the ingredients each vaccine contains. The ingredients of each vaccine come directly from the pharmaceutical companies’ vaccine package insert which are cross referenced with the National Library of Medicine for their human health effects-You will be SHOCKED at the side effects these vaccine ingredients have on the human body! FACT: If anyone from the medical community wants to argue with the information in this book, they will argue among themselves — it is their information!”

Lockdown Lunacy summary

Posted on by

[JB Handley authored a brilliant detailed fully referenced piece entitled “LOCKDOWN LUNACY: the thinking person’s guide“. For those who are not willing or able to take the time to read, I’ve distilled JB Handley’s 16 points for an overview. My few comments are contained in [brackets], everything else is from the original. This condensed version still amounts to about 4 pages, yet only skims the surface of the rich information provided in the original. Becky Hastings]

J.B. Handley is the best-selling author of How to End the Autism Epidemic. He graduated with honors from Stanford University, and currently serves as a Managing member of Bochi Investments, a private investment firm. He can be reached at jbhandleyblog@gmail.com.

  • Fact #1: The Infection Fatality Rate for COVID-19 is somewhere between 0.07-0.20%, in line with seasonal flu. [So, roughly 99.3% of people who test positive and develop symptoms related to covid, recover fully].
  • Fact #2: The risk of dying from COVID-19 is much higher than the average IFR for older people and those with co-morbidities, and much lower than the average IFR for younger healthy people, and nearing zero for children.
  • Fact #3: People infected with COVID-19 who are asymptomatic (which is most people) do NOT spread COVID-19.
  • Fact #4: Emerging science shows no spread of COVID-19 in the community (shopping, restaurants, barbers, etc.). 
  • Fact #5: Published science shows COVID-19 is NOT spread outdoors
  • Fact #6: Science shows masks are ineffective to halt the spread of COVID-19, and The WHO recommends they should only be worn by healthy people if treating or living with someone with a COVID-19 infection
  • Fact #7: There’s no science to support the magic of a six-foot barrier.
  • Fact #8: The idea of locking down an entire society had never been done and has no supportable science, only theoretical modeling.
  • Fact #9: The epidemic models of COVID-19 have been disastrously wrong, and both the people and the practice of modeling has a terrible history.
  • Fact #10: The data shows that lockdowns have NOT had an impact on the course of the disease.
  • Fact #11: Florida locked down late, opened early, and is doing fine, despite predictions of doom.
  • Fact #12: New York’s above average death rate appears to be driven by a fatal policy error combined with aggressive intubations.
  • Fact #13: Public health officials and disease epidemiologists do NOT consider the other negative societal consequences of lockdowns.
  • Fact #14: There is a predictive model for the viral arc of COVID-19, it’s called Farr’s Law, and it was discovered over 100 years ago.
  • Fact #15: The lockdowns will cause more death and destruction than COVID-19 ever did.
  • Fact #16: All these phased re-openings are utter nonsense with no science to support them, but they will all be declared a success.

How the hell did we get here?

Now what?

What should be done is so damn simple, IMO, but it never will, because too many people would have to admit they were wrong. But, I’ll say it anyway. My policy recommendation: remove 100% of newly created lockdown rules, secure nursing homes using Florida’s approach, tell everyone with an active COVID-19 infection to stay home until symptoms resolve or wear a mask if they need to go out in public, and encourage everyone else to wash their hands. Done deal. 

I saved one of my favorite quotes for last from Karolinska Institute’s Johan Giesecke (no surprise he’s Swedish), from an essay that appeared in early May in The Lancet:

These facts have led me to the following conclusions. Everyone will be exposed to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, and most people will become infected. COVID-19 is spreading like wildfire in all countries, but we do not see it—it almost always spreads from younger people with no or weak symptoms to other people who will also have mild symptoms. This is the real pandemic, but it goes on beneath the surface, and is probably at its peak now in many European countries. There is very little we can do to prevent this spread: a lockdown might delay severe cases for a while, but once restrictions are eased, cases will reappear. I expect that when we count the number of deaths from COVID-19 in each country in 1 year from now, the figures will be similar, regardless of measures taken.

Measures to flatten the curve might have an effect, but a lockdown only pushes the severe cases into the future —it will not prevent them. Admittedly, countries have managed to slow down spread so as not to overburden health-care systems, and, yes, effective drugs that save lives might soon be developed, but this pandemic is swift, and those drugs have to be developed, tested, and marketed quickly. Much hope is put in vaccines, but they will take time, and with the unclear protective immunological response to infection, it is not certain that vaccines will be very effective.

In summary, COVID-19 is a disease that is highly infectious and spreads rapidly through society. It is often quite symptomless and might pass unnoticed, but it also causes severe disease, and even death, in a proportion of the population, and our most important task is not to stop spread, which is all but futile, but to concentrate on giving the unfortunate victims optimal care.

If you made it this far, thank you. You now share my burden in knowing the facts about Lockdown Lunacy. And, thank you to the many courageous medical professionals and scientists who are taking serious risk to their careers to publicly tell the truth. If you’d like to stay abreast of this complex topic, I recommend the Twitter feeds of both Aaron Ginn and Alex Berenson, they are a welcome respite from “Team Apocalypse.”

A personal note: Compared to the topic I usually write about—the scientific fact that vaccines can trigger autism in a vulnerable sub-set of children—writing about the lockdown madness is a walk in the park, because so many intelligent people have reached the same conclusion I have reached. I wish many of them would see the parallels to the roaring autism epidemic: good science is shunned or censored, the media browbeats dissenters, special interests prevail, parents are never listened to and doctors who speak up are labeled as “Quacks”…and the autism epidemic continues unabated.

Becky Hastings maintains Journeyboost.com with the hope of bringing light and understanding so that people can make informed decisions and experience the best of this world provided by our Creator. Seeking Him in these crazy times provides great comfort and hope!
