You read food labels, or you have. You recognize a few ingredients on packages and may try to avoid some.
The LAST thing you — the parent or grandparent — want to do is harm your baby. People — many who work in professions we feel we should trust — tell you that babies NEED injections with certain things in order to “keep them safe”. They can relate many horror stories about WHY these injections are ABSOLUTELY and URGENTLY needed. Trust me, I’ve been told by many medical friends these same stories. But is that the whole story?
Can we give our absolute trust to the people telling us to inject ourselves and our babies? Have the people promoting these injections taken the time to look into the ingredients of the injections? Have they discovered what the ingredients can do once injected? Or, are they just following the line of their training, most of which has been directed and paid for by the massive pharmaceutical industry.
If you are a label reader, do you know the ingredients in the shots that are recommended for you or your child?

The following is a glimpse of the webpage highlighting the DTaP vaccine which is commonly given to every baby in the USA at 2, 4, 6 and 15 months as per the CDC. This is a shot that is pushed in the hope of preventing diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), and tetanus. One of the main problems with this shot is the amount of aluminum.
Pregnant moms are pushed to receive a TDaP injection FOR EVERY PREGNANCY – regardless of when they had a previous shot. Grandparents are PUSHED to get the shot in order to have contact with their grand babies. There is a lot of fear used to manipulate parents into compliance. The full facts of the impact of the aluminum on the developing brain of both in utero and very young infants are not shared by the myriad nurses and doctors that urge acceptance of this potentially harmful procedure.
Parents, please look further. Find out the impact of aluminum on the brain. Our society is experiencing far too many neurological harms both in the elderly and in the very young. Here is a short video explanation on the role of aluminum in the body and brain by Dr Chris Shaw who has researched aluminum in detail. Aluminum is not a part of any biochemical process on earth, but when injected causes a wide range of unusual biochemical processes that are not beneficial to the body..
Now no parent wants their baby to be sick with diphtheria, pertussis or tetanus, BUT, is there any way of avoiding these illnesses that doesn’t deliver a high dose of aluminum to the body and brain? This is the type of question new parents should be asking and searching for answers. Can I reduce or avoid the risk of diseases without injecting my child with so many toxic ingredients?

“There is no valid evidence for the chemical imbalance theory of any mental illness.” Dr Kelly Brogan
WARNING. If you are currently taking any psychiatric medication withdrawal can be tricky and should be tapered gradually with careful clinical supervision and a support network. Peter Breggin addresses this topic extensively.[1]
Joanna Moncrieff recently published an umbrella review of tens of thousands of subjects that failed to demonstrate that serotonin has anything to do with mood.[2]
On top of that industry, plays a dirty game…They can hide and manipulate data to gain approval for drugs.
Check out this:
Almost every single one of the positive studies are published. Only a fraction of the negative studies are published. The majority of negative studies are hidden, others are skewed as positive.
This is one of the many ways that we are led to believe – especially through direct to consumer advertising of prescription meds (DTC advertising is only permitted in 2 countries in the world) – that these medications actually work. Guess which country has the highest consumption of prescription drugs?
In 2006 a very important review was published called “Do Antidepressants Cure or Create Abnormal Brain States?” The findings? “No evidence shows that antidepressants or any other drugs produce long-term elevation of mood or other effects that are particularly useful in treating depression.” [3]
AKA: There is no valid evidence for the chemical imbalance theory of any so-called mental illness.
Can you release anxiety and reclaim your health without the meds?
“It is a basic principle of pharmacotherapy that all drugs have beneficial and harmful effects.”[4]
“Unfortunately, in the balance between benefits and risks, it is an uncomfortable truth that most drugs do not work in most patients.”[4]
There has never been a human study that successfully links low serotonin levels and depression.
Joanna Moncrieff just came out with a very important review, summarizing a lot of this data, looking at: more analysis, cerebrospinal fluid, blood analysis, genetic markers.[2]
The findings?
There is no valid evidence for the chemical imbalance theory of any so-called mental illness. So if your brain sin’t broken, then what’s the problem?
Get to the root cause, and change your story, in a matter of weeks. Oh, and exercise could be one of the best treatments for depression, anxiety and distress. [5]

1. Are all psychiatric drugs too unsafe to take? “Whenever possible, psychiatric drugs should be tapered and withdrawn either as an inpatient or as an outpatient with careful clinical supervision and a support network as described in Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal. Keep in mind that it is not only dangerous to take psychiatric drugs — it can be dangerous to withdraw from them. The safest solution is to avoid starting psychiatric drugs! It is time for a return to psychological, social and educational approaches to emotional suffering and impairment.” https://psych.breggin.com/are-all-psychiatric-drugs-too-unsafe-to-take/

Eleanor McBean reports on a man-made epidemic in Kansas City in 1921! I’ve been investigating the history of vaccines from different perspectives. You can read more here (A Different View of History) and here (More History).
One reason why people rarely hear anything against vaccination is that those who raise a voice against it are silenced.
COURT CASES OF SMALLPOX EPIDEMICS DECLARED WHEN THERE WAS NO SMALLPOX
(Report from THE ADVERTISER’S PROTECTIVE BUREAU of Kansas City)
“In the fall of 1921 the health of the city was unusually good, but dull for the doctors. So the Jackson Medical Society met and resolved to make an epidemic in the city.
According to the record:
“MOTION WAS MADE AND SECONDED THAT A RECOMMENDATION BE MADE BY THE COMMITTEE TO THE BOARD OF HEALTH THAT AN EPIDEMIC OF SMALLPOX BE DECLARED TO EXIST IN THE CITY AT THE PRESENT TIME.
“MOVED AND SECONDED THAT A DAY BE SET ASIDE TO BE TERMED VACCINATION DAY, ON WHICH PHYSICIANS WILL BE STATIONED AT ALL SCHOOLS, CLINICS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND HOSPITALS … TO VACCINATE, FREE OF CHARGE. (No shots are free. The taxpayers are charged for them.)
“It is further recommended that wide publicity be given, stating that vaccination is a preventitive of smallpox and urging the absolute necessity of vaccination for every man, woman and child in the city.
Those who investigated this fake, doctor-made epidemic searched for cases of smallpox to justify this vaccination drive, but could not find one case in the city.
The scare-head vaccination propaganda showed a picture of a child covered with sores (probably from empetigo, psoriasis or congenital syphilis), and called it smallpox. People are easily frightened when public officials tell them a disease is contagious and is in their midst. The fear vanishes when people learn the truth. Smallpox is not contagious, and compulsory vaccination is illegal. (See the chapter on smallpox for information on tests which proved smallpox and other diseases are not contagious, and can be avoided with the right knowledge and application of that knowledge, given in the big book, “VACCINATION CONDEMNED BY COMPETENT DOCTORS.”
Most people do not question the decision of their doctors and public officials so they trustingly put their lives and the lives of their children into the hands of the unprincipled drug vendors. The results were disastrous for the people but good for the doctors. The hospitals were soon filled with vaccine poisoned people and the doctors had business all winter.
According to the record, the doctors made $500,000 from that Kansas City vaccination spree, not counting the millions of dollars from the hospital cases.”

My recent post A Different View of History is getting a lot of views. I’m not sure how it’s being shared, but I’m glad it is. Often I use my blog as a place to store information that I find for future reference and if others find it helpful, I am thankful.
I got the polio vaccine in the 1960s. My parents thought it was the responsible thing to do. My father worked for the CDC in public health for his entire career. He believed that what they were doing was helpful to the health and welfare of babies.
I believe it is time to do more historic investigations into so-called ‘virus outbreaks’. A 2003 article by Jim West does an excellent job of covering several commonly used pesticide poisons in vogue at the time of the ‘polio’ outbreak in the USA which led to the polio vaccine. Has this vaccine been a cash cow for a non-existent virus? Was the actual cause of the symptoms labeled ‘polio’ toxicity from exposure to poisons used in agriculture? I’ve included only a very brief excerpt. Please read the entire article and formulate your own opinion. The facts presented in the media and the historic perspective many of us have accepted all our life may not coney the entire story.
“It was even known by 1945 that DDT is stored in the body fat of mammals and appears in the milk. With this foreknowledge the series of catastrophic events that followed the most intensive campaign of mass poisoning in known human history, should not have surprised the experts. Yet, far from admitting a causal relationship so obvious that in any other field of biology it would be instantly accepted, virtually the entire apparatus of communication, lay and scientific alike, has been devoted to denying, concealing, suppressing, distorting and attempts to convert into its opposite, the overwhelming evidence. Libel, slander and economic boycott have not been overlooked in this campaign. . . .
“Early in 1949, as a result of studies during the previous year, the author published reports implicating DDT preparations in the syndrome widely attributed to a ‘virus-X’ in man, in ‘X-disease’ in cattle and in often fatal syndromes in dogs and cats. The relationship was promptly denied by government officials, who provided no evidence to contest the author’s observations but relied solely on the prestige of government authority and sheer numbers of experts to bolster their position. . . .

The history of vaccines that we have been presented through our general education is based on a foundation of “vaccines have saved millions of lives and are thoroughly tested, safe and effective.” Digging into actual historical accounts presents a completely different point of view. The people pushing the ‘acceptable vaccine narrative’ have either 1) never investigated the facts and are ignorant, or 2) they are focussed on profit (either directly or through their career choices) from a product that will harm many, but is liability free because of laws passed to protect the manufacturers. No doctor, educator, or vaccine manufacturer will ever be held responsibile or accountable for the information they share since vaccines were given government protection through the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act. The following quote from Eleanor McBean gives an entirely different perspective on early vaccines:
The stricken soldiers would probably all have recovered if they had avoided doctors and their poison medication and suppressive methods. Unfortunately, they were sent to the army hospitals and drugged to death by the doctors, who know nothing about the true principles of health and natural healing. The doctors, then as well as now, mistake the symptoms for the disease and give drugs to suppress the symptoms instead of letting the internal healing mechanism do its work to bring about normalcy. The doctors think they must do something to bring down the fever and give certain drugs to stop the coughing and other drugs to stop the diarrhea. All these damaging medical methods block the elimination of poison waste, and death or permanent injury is the result.
After the heavy toll of lives, when they learned that all the tricks of medical science (?) had completely failed, the Army was resourceful enough to realize that they would have to give some attention to health measures if they were to survive as a living army. So they set up a rigorous regimen of hygiene, sanitation and improved nutrition. This sensible program reduced the incidence of typhoid to less than 3 cases per 1,000. This marked decline in disease was brought about in less than 10 years, from 1899 to 1908. And this was done without one injection of anti-typhoid vaccine being administered, or any other vaccine.
In contrast to this remarkable record of disease prevention, we find that after vaccination became compulsory in the Army in 1911, not only did typhoid increase rapidly, but all other vaccinal diseases increased at an alarming rate.
I encourage you to follow the link and read more of the information she provides.
No writer perfectly conveys historical truth, but by exposing ourselves to understanding the many facets of history, we will be better able to discern current events. Here is a list of the books written by Eleanor McBean. Many can be found on the internet for free.
1957 The Poisoned Needle by Eleanor McBean ISBN 0-7873-0594-4
1957 The Hidden Dangers In Polio Vaccine (Chapter 10 of Poisoned Needle)
Little known or investigated facts included in Vaccines the Biggest Medical Fraud in History (above):
Listed below are public health statistics (U.S. Public Health Reports) from the four states which adopted compulsory vaccination, and the figures from Los Angeles, California (similar results in other states available from books listed at the back of this booklet):
TENNESSEE
1958: 119 cases of polio before compulsory shots
1959: 386 cases of polio after compulsory shots
OHIO
1958: 17 cases of polio before compulsory shots
1959: 52 cases of polio after compulsory shots
CONNECTICUT
1958: 45 cases of polio before compulsory shots
1959: 123 cases of polio after compulsory shots
NORTH CAROLINA
1958: 78 cases of polio before compulsory shots
1959: 313 cases of polio after compulsory shots
LOS ANGELES
1958: 89 cases of polio before shots
1959: 190 cases of polio after shots
The decline of smallpox, as with many other infectious diseases, including diphtheria and scarlet fever, coincided with the sanitation reforms which were instituted in the late 1880s. Where obtainable, government health records from around the world showed that during the periods of the most intense and widespread vaccination, the incidence of and death rates from smallpox were highest. For instance, in Kansas City and Pittsburgh during the 1920s, lawsuits were initiated, and won, against doctors and medical societies for declaring smallpox epidemics when there were none, and for creating epidemics with their vaccination drives.
Before 1903, smallpox was almost unknown in the Philippines, with occurrences in less than 3% of the population, and that in a mild form. The U.S. military went in and began vaccinating, and by 1905 the Philippines had its first major epidemic. Vaccination was made compulsory in 1910. From 1905 to 1923, the mortality rate ranged from 25-75%, depending on the count from the various islands. “The mortality rate was the highest in the cities where vaccination was most intense.” Dr. W.W. Keen reported 130,264 cases and 74,369 deaths from smallpox in 1921.
Japan adopted compulsory vaccinations in 1872 when they had only a few cases of smallpox. By 1892 they had the largest smallpox epidemic in their history with 165,774 cases and 29,979 deaths.
Australia banned the smallpox vaccine after some children were killed by it, and in the following 15 years in unvaccinated Australia there were only 3 cases of smallpox.
The smallpox vaccine was discontinued in the United States after Dr. Henry Kempe reported to Congress in 1966 that fewer people were dying from the disease than from vaccination.

#diedsuddenly A link to the documentary by Stew Peters is available at the end of this blog.
I wish I wasn’t posting this link to a one hour video released on 21 November 2022. I’m not sure everyone should watch it. The contents are extremely disturbing, yet I believe many facts are presented that we need to ponder.
My hesitation in sharing is at least two fold. Firstly, many people are not ready to be exposed to this information. The presentation, even if 100% factual and accurate, is designed to cause alarm. People with absolute faith and trust in the current authorities and government institutions may be unable to process the facts contained in this documentary. Others may be too squeamish or sensitive to experience the realities presented. Further, there is a lot of extraneous video footage which would be hard to verify and seems to be compiled as a method of ‘piling on’ to incite fear. Fear and anxiety were what drove a LOT of people to accept the experimental jab. Is purposefully perpetuating fear the best way to share truthful information?
Secondly, I believe the makers of this documentary left out some vitally important information. There isn’t much hope in this presentation. We are not given any solutions or any direction at the end. Many people who were duped, tricked, cajoled, or coerced into accepting the experimental jabs may react to this information with extreme despair or hopelessness. They may even react in anger at those who share it and blindly continue to believe the experimental medical procedure was their best decision – all in an attempt to ‘save face’. Others of us, who have loved ones that got jabbed, may despair about their prospects for life and health. The part of the story missing is “Can anything be done to ameliorate the consequences of the jabs?” I believe the answer is yes, and the producers of the documentary would have done us a better service if they had at least pointed in the direction of the many health professionals helping victims of the jab to recover. Steve Kirsch, who features in the documentary, has been interviewing many alternative health care providers on his weekly VSRF podcast and explores how they are actively helping people recover after they recognize their injuries.
However, with those warnings in mind, I believe this information needs to be available for people to make informed decisions. Some parts that impacted me most profoundly:
The evidence from many independent embalmers of strange anomalies in the blood is profound and should be carefully considered. Is there any other explanation for the bizarre appearance of these previously unknown clotting substances? This information is not freely available to the general public and has not been conveyed through any media. While extremely disturbing, the reality of the facts must be squarely considered.
I found the statistics and facts about the rates of still birth extremely chilling. A California nurse whistleblower describes how prior to the experimental shot availability they would see around one still birth per month. The same hospital began seeing around 20 per month and sent an email out to staff with the expectation that the rate would increase. To think that ‘health care’ providers are still recommending this shot to any woman before or during the child-birthing age is unconscionable. We need to warn women and girls of the very specific clear harms to their future ability to bear children.
So how do we view this information? My dominant thought after watching the World Premiere: Died Suddenly was “Lord God, Help us to recognize evil and STAND in YOUR VICTORY!”
The documentary traces the reality of many facts of history and the plans of powerful people who have stated publicly their desire to reduce population. Christians are well aware that we are in the midst of a spiritual battle. However, many Christians are completely unable to see how the evil forces are actively at work in the world today. Jesus’ warning has never been more relevant: “Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inside are ferocious wolves.”
My suggestion: Watch and pray. Jesus also told us to do that. After watching, pray and ask God to direct you in how best to respond. My daily reading included Exodus 23 where several principles stuck out to me:
Don’t go along with the crowd.
Don’t spread false reports.
God promises to be with the Israelites as they enter and live in enemy territory. Jesus reiterates this promise in John 14 when he says the Holy Spirit will be given to His followers after He leaves. The Spirit is our Counsellor and Helper.
God’s promise was that He would be the protector and healer of His followers. Medical science is not our savior.
Worship the Lord your God, and His blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away disease from among you, and none will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will give you a full life span. Exodus 23: 25-26
We are living in a society that has become dominated by forces that align with spiritual darkness and God’s adversary. However, Jesus forever conquered the enemy. We can live in victory as we walk securely following God. For those who did accept an experimental jab – for whatever reason – perhaps the most important decision to be made is to repent. We can acknowledge that only God can truly protect us from illness. Fear is a tool of the enemy of our soul. After repentance, our next decision is to stand firm and accept no further jabs. Millions of people were threatened with the loss of a job, but what is a job if you have lost your health? Or lost your life? There are ALWAYS more jobs, but we only have one life.

Meet my friend Danielle who started a Youtube channel about her homesteading because she needed another thing to add to her long list of accomplishments on her homestead: Chickens, beekeeping, goats, a greenhouse in the making, fruit orchard, growing veggies… all while providing loving childcare to a friend’s baby everyday, and volunteering at a few different organizations!
Most parents in the west have been led to believe that a fever is bad and when a baby or child gets a fever, there are appropriate ‘baby’ fever reducers that should be given. New parents are advised by doctors and nurses on how and when to give over the counter (OTC) pharmaceuticals to babies for a variety of reasons. Many parents feel that if they do NOT give their baby these ‘baby’ pharmaceutical products widely available at grocery stores and pharmacies, they are not ‘good’ parents. Because the medical profession has not understood the value of a fever, many parents have been led down a path that they didn’t expect – sometimes including longterm chronic illness.
What is fever? What is the appropriate loving response for a parent when their baby or child develops a fever?
“Giving Tylenol to a babe for fever is equivalent to shooting your own attack dog when he’s going after a home intruder! Fevers are important.”
Dr Larry Palevsky is a NYS licensed pediatrician, who utilizes a holistic approach to children’s wellness and illness. He has been promoting health naturally for decades and has discovered valuable information that he passes on to parents. The following points about fever are from his website, where you will find even more detailed explanation of the beneficial role of fever in childhood.
GENERAL GUIDANCE IF YOUR CHILD IS SICK: “Do less. Stimulate less. Speak less. Eat less.” “Drink more. Sleep more. Rest more. Breathe more.”
Stop your daily routine and encourage your child, and your family members, to rest.
Provide a safe and comfortable environment for your child to process the illness.
Encourage plenty of fluids (water, tea, broth, soup, breast milk). If your child is on formula, you may need to either stop the formula completely, or feed fewer ounces through the illness.
Turn the volume down. Reduce activity levels, noise, excitement, schedules, chores, and tasks to a minimum.
Turn the lights down. Maintain a calm, quiet, peaceful environment for your child’s nervous system to heal.
Stay indoors; play quiet games. Going outside can be too much of an energetic overload for your child’s body when sick, and may prolong and intensify the stress on his body.
Give your child a warm bath, several times per day if necessary, and stay with your child as much as possible. Lay low, and watch your child closely. Be mindful of cool or cold drafts when getting out of the bath.
Regarding supplements, it is best to stop most, if not all of the supplements that your child is taking. You will need to use your judgment in making this decision.
Do not force your child to eat. When children are sick or not feeling well, their digestive systems slow down. Food is one of the last things children are interested in when they have a fever or don’t feel well. Just ensure fluid intake, and don’t push foods. Their bodies will tell you when they are ready to start eating again. And, most importantly, avoid sugar, including juices, flour and dairy products, and fried foods, when your child is sick, as these foods tend to increase stress, dehydration, and mucus production in the body, which will prolong, or worsen, the course of illness.
Observe your child for mental status changes.
Please remember that the resolution of illness can take some time. The more patience you have, the more closely you observe your child, and the more you efficiently remove the stressors in your child’s environments, the greater you will impact the length of recovery for your child’s illness.
You may need to cancel plans, stay home, and not participate in previously planned activities so your child can rest and heal at home in her own comfortable, safe environment. The most important thing you can do as a parent is to provide your child with a safe environment in which healing can occur.
Make the first day your child feels better a slow day. Stay home and rest for the first 24 hours that the symptoms of illness have finally abated. Try not to rush back into the daily routine of life.
Re: Acute Illness: Dr. Palevsky often remarks that “children need to be allowed to experience symptoms of acute illness in order for their bodies to appropriately cleanse the waste and toxins from their systems, and so they can go forward in their lives toward greater optimal health and wellness.” Rarely does Dr. Palevsky ever need to prescribe antibiotics for children in his practice. On average, he writes one antibiotic prescription per year. This is because he has come to understand that most illnesses in children are not caused by infections, and therefore, don’t require antibiotic treatment. Dr. Palevsky recommends that parents read this section of his website in great detail so that they can better understand and address any perceived challenges to their children’s health.
Dr Palevsky has a lot of experience and includes much more helpful information on the details of the body’s detox process on his website, including information on ear pain, coughs, diarrhea and vomiting. Many parents find it difficult to act against their strong programming of “avoiding a fever at all costs”. They may feel that their child is suffering and all they want to do is give them some relief. However, the short term difficulty of a fever will build long term health. Taking a short cut – by giving fever reducers – is actually going to adversely impact long term health. The action of Tylenol reduces glutathione in the body – an important anti-oxidant containing three amino acids that helps in the detox process. Giving Tylenol (aka acetaminophen, Paracetamol, Panadol) can result in your child being sick for longer, as well as other harmful impacts that parents are seldom warned about:
Estimates suggest 90% of infants are given Tylenol (aka acetaminophen). Pregnant women are encouraged that Tylenol is safe to take during pregnancy. Yet, there has been virtually no thorough investigation of the neurological consequences. There are 16 human studies which suggest brain developmental harm from use in pregnancy.Read more of the potential harm from this commonly used OTC treatment.
I believe 99% of all parents ONLY want what is best for their children. Navigating the information and discerning what is truly best is not always easy. There are many forces competing for our attention, allegiance, and money. Every parent will benefit from tuning into their gut instincts, seeking God’s wisdom, and asking a lot of questions. Most of us were not trained in critical thinking skills in our ‘education’ and have been subjected to a lot of marketing and propaganda pushed on us as “health information.”
A wise person said, critical thinking is all about believing more true things and believing less untrue things. We will spend the rest of our lives honing these skills!
I’d love to hear your personal experience of nursing a child through fever. I’ve watched both my five children, and our nine grandchildren receive a lot of TLC when sick and bounce back quickly from most illnesses. Fever reducing meds were never a part of my home first aid kit!

Give yourself a gift for Christmas: make a commitment to do something quick, easy, fun and VERY BENEFICIAL for yourself ALL YEAR LONG!
Introducing the 4 minute nitric oxide boost exercise workout: 4 exercises, performed with precision 10 times each in sequence, repeat the sequence 3 times, while breathing through your nose. Over time you can increase the pace and increase the number of reps. I’ve been doing this for several years and now do 20 reps repeated 4 times – but I didn’t start there.
This workout is HIIT (high intensity interval training) and provides many benefits. Make this simple routine a priority in your morning and notice that you have increased energy, greater mental clarity, improved immune protection, and muscle toning. I believe you may even experience more positive food choices, better self-control, and better sleep. HIIT workouts can help stimulate the body’s production of hormones like HGH that can help you lose fat and build lean muscle. You can do this workout anywhere (I’ve done it in airports, while pumping gas, and while waiting outside stores for more avid shoppers!). For increased benefits, repeat multiple times throughout the day. Your body will thank you!
If you are new to exercise you can start with five reps of each exercise and repeat 3 times, gradually increasing. In this short video Dr Zach Bush introduces each exercise demonstrating correct movements.
If you want the background information about WHY this is such an effective workout and WHAT the body does during this time, watch Dr Zach Bush explain in the following 2 miniute video.
The following video describes the same routine with some modifications especially for women of all ages.
I’d love to hear about how you incorporate this exercise in your schedule!

Bee sting, cuts, scrapes, burns … things happen. Sometimes we seek medical care in an ER or urgent care. We are there for an informed opinion on our need for medical treatment, yet often the first issue we face is pressure to accept a tetanus shot. ERs throughout the country seem to have the same standard protocol to promote a “tetanus shot” for nearly every presentation. I’ve written about tetanus here, here, here and here. But I came across some facts that I wanted to collect and share.
Tetanus is the name of a sickness you get when the bacterium Clostridium tetani enters your body and flourishes (with a life cycle). C. tetani is an anaerobic bacteria meaning it can only live in the absence of oxygen. In the presence of oxygen tetanus cannot complete its life cycle to create the tetanus toxin which is dangerous. If a wound has bled and can be cleaned and aired, there is very little risk of this life cycle ever happening.
Before agreeing to a tetanus shot it is imperative to seek information on the true risk of a tetanus infection compared to the risk of harm caused by the “tetanus” vaccine. The CDC provides information on tetanus infections through annual reports. Vaccine adverse events can be found in the VAERS data base and the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) annual compensation reports.
In an 8 year study covered by the CDC mortality and morbidity report (2001-2008) 45 states reported 233 cases of diagnosed tetanus infection including 26 deaths. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm6012a1.htm
Compare this to 791 deaths reported during this time period from a tetanus containing vaccine.
The Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) was set up in 1988 as a voluntary reporting system to track vaccine reactions. 155,830 adverse events and 2,676 deaths were reported following tetanus containing vaccines in children and adults. Updated statistics are available from https://www.openvaers.com/openvaers.
Admittedly, most vaccines are given in combination with many other vaccines so the harm cannot be attributed solely to the tetanus vaccine.
During 2001–2008, a total of 233 cases of tetanus were reported from 45 states; 26 were fatal.
An average of 29 cases was reported each year.
The average annual incidence was 0.10 per 1 million population.
C. tetani is ubiquitous in the environment (can be found everywhere)
Populations considered at increased risk for tetanus include persons with tetanus-prone wounds, IDUs (injection drug users), and those with diabetes and chronic wounds.
The findings in this report indicate that older adults are at greater risk for tetanus than younger persons, and the risk for fatal disease is higher among patients aged ≥65 years.
“Tetanus only” shots were once available, but are no longer offered because the manufacturers stopped production. The only ‘tetanus’ injection available in the US is a three in one shot containing diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis vaccines. While many doctors, nurses, and ER staff will encourage anyone with a wound to get a ‘tetanus’ shot, the only shot available is the DTaP for children and the TDaP for adults.
There are many first hand reports of patients agreeing to receive a tetanus shot, but when the shot arrives, the vial is for DTaP/TDaP.
In conclusion, during 2001-2008 a total of 53,470 injuries including 791 deaths were reported from a tetanus containing vaccine to the registry within the United States government database while during the same time period, 26 died from tetanus infection.
The tetanus vaccine is heralded as the reason for the decrease in tetanus world wide, but this has never been substantiated. Documented Tetanus Mortality in England & Wales from 1901 to 1999 shows “the administration of the tetanus vaccine is likely to be pointless and puts children especially at risk of adverse reactions to the vaccines. Deaths related to Tetanus and tetanus incidents overall, sharply decreased long before the vaccine was introduced widely during World War II.” https://preventdisease.com/news/10/102510_vaccines_did_not_save_us.shtml#Tet_EngWale
Tetanus is ubiquitous: It is found on the surface of the body, in the mouth, in the gastro-intestinal tract, in house dust and clothing. It occurs extensively in cultivated soils. The organism lives as a harmless commensal in the gut of many animals, in addition to humans…
The geographical distribution of tetanus across the globe generally follows the areas of moist, warm climate and fertile soil — the highest rates occur in the developing world, particularly in countries near the equator.
Non vaccinated individuals can have tetanus antibodies due to natural exposure. 410 Indians demonstrate measurable antitoxin despite receiving no vaccines.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6114281/
There have been allegations that some vaccines targeting fertile female populations in underdeveloped countries contain human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) to prevent pregnancy. In 1993, WHO announced a “birth-control vaccine” for “family planning”. Published research shows that by 1976 WHO researchers had conjugated tetanus toxoid (TT) with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) producing a “birth-control” vaccine. Many priests have raised concerns regarding targeting populations in Africa, Asia, and South America to cause sterilization. https://www.scirp.org/Journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=81838, https://www.scirp.org/Journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=81838 and https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12346214/
Many efforts to give vaccines to pregnant women state the purported aim is to reduce neonatal tetanus (NT).
“NT most often occurs through cutting of the umbilical cord using non-sterile techniques or applying non-sterile traditional remedies to the umbilical cord stump, but infection of the umbilical stump is not always evident. Deliveries carried out by persons with unclean hands or on a contaminated surface are also risk factors for maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT). Tetanus is not transmissible from person to person.”
Since neonatal tetanus is primarily caused by unsanitary cutting of the umbilical cord, education on better cutting and care of the neonatal cord would seem to be both beneficial and cost effective.
Standard of Care for Neonatal Tetanus as described by the WHO does NOT include giving a tetanus vaccine, ONLY giving tetanus immune globulin (TIG):
“NT remains an important global public health problem, particularly in settings with high neonatal mortality and among some of the poorest and most marginalized subpopulations worldwide.”
“NT is a medical emergency requiring hospitalization, immediate treatment with human tetanus immune globulin (TIG), agents to control muscle spasm (preferred: benzodiazepines), and antibiotics (preferred: metronidazole or penicillin G). A single intramuscular dose of human TIG is recommended as soon as possible to prevent further progression of the disease. If TIG is not available, equine-derived antitoxin tetanus serum (ATS), can be given in a single intravenous dose, after testing for hypersensitivity. Alternatively, intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) may be used.”
“The medical establishment chooses to turn a blind eye to the lack of solid scientific evidence to substantiate our faith in the tetanus shot.”
“When an old medical procedure of unknown effectiveness, such as the tetanus shot, has been the standard of medical care for a long time, finalizing its effectiveness via a modern rigorous placebo-controlled trial is deemed unethical in human research. Therefore, our only hope for the advancement of tetanus care is that further investigation of the ascorbic acid therapy is performed and that this therapy becomes available to tetanus patients around the world, if confirmed effective by rigorous bio-statistical standards.”
Tetanus incidence and mortality declined greatly before the widespread use of tetanus vaccine. (In excess of 99%)
The bacteria associated with tetanus is present virtually everywhere. However, when the human body does not present the bacteria a proper environment for growth, this constitutes a natural immunity to the tetanus bacteria.
The only preventives for tetanus are general good health and wound hygiene.
There is NO immunity to dirty wounds. Wound hygiene is essential.
Tetanus incidence in the vaccinated is about the same or higher than incidence in the unvaccinated.
Tetanus vaccine is not only ineffective but also toxic. It’s use causes numerous adverse side effects.
So, like all the other vaccine-related illnesses…is the illness truly rare, or are there simply lesser forms of it? Are vaccinated children truly protected from illness, or are parents and doctors too uninformed to recognize it?
“Five children aged five to 15 years contracted tetanus in Finland between 1969 and 1985, together with 101 adults. Four of the five had been adequately immunized against tetanus.”
“One half of an annual birth crop of the rhesus monkeys inoculated with tetanus toxoid at the age of one year had protective levels of tetanus antitoxin seven years post-inoculation. However, the immunization program had no significant effect on either the total or tetanus mortality rates during the study.”
