The Land in the Middle

Posted on by

Camel gives upOn the way to where God is taking you, in the journey of life, we sometimes find ourselves in the land in the middle: We aren’t where we were hoping to be.

We claim God is the one we seek and serve, yet there are many competing voices trying to claim our allegiance. We are often confused.

The Israelites had a tough life as slaves in Egypt. God rescued them. The rescue operation did not immediately provide the relief they expected.[1]

Unmet expectations can be our biggest discouragement.

One month after their rescue, the response of the Israelites spoke to me profoundly.

By this time they seemed to have completely forgotten their struggle and suffering in Egypt. They forgot the brutal treatment they had received at the hands of their task masters – to make bricks and collect their own straw. They forgot about how the Egyptians had loaded them down with treasure just hours prior to their escape. They forgot how God had delivered them through the Red Sea. They forgot how very recently God had miraculously provided water. They were quick to forget so many things.

One month after their rescue, they complained about the leadership of their expedition.

They romanticized their past experience to see only good, and reduced their current experience to see only bad:

“If only the Lord had killed us back in Egypt,” they moaned. “There we sat around pots filled with meat and all the bread we wanted. But now you have brought us into this wilderness to starve us all to death.”[2]

The land in the middle is a challenging place to be.

Our primary focus is … ourselves. Our own comfort. Our appetites. Our safety. Our security. We like to know where we will sleep every night. We prefer indoors with a bed and pillows specifically chosen for our comfort. If someone happens to put the air conditioning too high or too low we might get annoyed. We like our meals with great regularity.

If we don’t have these primary needs met we feel – forsaken, abandoned. Just like the Israelites. Only one month after experiencing their dramatic escape from the land of Egypt and watching the entire Egyptian army perish in the Red Sea that God had opened for them to pass through unharmed, they felt abandoned by God.

How short is our memory.

God has future purposes. They are for His glory – not ours. And, not for our comfort. Of course, He may bless us with comfort. But when everything is not quite perfect in our current reality, how will we respond?

Can we trust that God has a good purpose? Can we release our personal daily expectations to the greater picture of what God is doing?

It is easy to trust when we know the end of the story. When we look at the plight of the Israelites it is obvious to us that God had a plan, had the power and had an end goal. They were in the middle and couldn’t see the end.

We are all in the middle of something. It is extremely easy to default to our human comfort. It is easy to feel abandoned and forsaken by God when things are not going the way we had hoped. The Scripture is full of hope for future promises for God’s people. We need to refresh our minds every day – especially when we are getting bogged down in our current ‘not so perfect’ reality.

God is at work. He is always at work. He has higher and greater intentions than we can imagine. He is seeking those with steady hearts. He wants to refine us through our times in the middle. When we fully embrace the journey He is taking us on, with hopeful and joyful anticipation for the work only He can do, it can make the time in the middle purposeful.

Or we can look back with longing on the ‘good ol days’ and complain about our leadership. It comes very naturally.

Liar Liar Pants on Fire

Posted on by

Blind leading blindThere are many kinds of people in the world. Perhaps they could be divided into 3 broad categories:

  1. those who never knowingly lie;
  2. those who lie occasionally;
  3. those who deliberately lie;
  4. those who perpetuate a lie because while they actually fall into category 1 above, they have believed a lie from someone who falls into category 3.

Human nature often encourages slight alterations of the truth. We want to present ourselves well. Sometimes we are not even aware that we are communicating a lie.

However, I want to focus on how to recognize those who fall into category 3. In my life I haven’t really encountered too many of this type, but as I am seeking to know and understand TRUTH in a broad range of topics, it is becoming increasingly clear that there are people who are purposefully and knowingly perpetuating lies for some motive which is not always apparent.

History is a great place to discover many lies, but it takes tenacity and digging for real evidence, to understand that some of the short paragraphs in our history books are actually more false than true.

For some time in the US we have been conditioned by our culture to believe what we are told, not to think for ourselves, and to accept the messages given by authorities without question. Dr John Taylor Gatto, a New York Teacher of the Year with over 30 years of experience, wrote about this in Dumbing Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling, which was first printed in 1991 and updated in 2002.[1]

At one time I thought spies and counter intelligence agents were purely fiction. When watching episodes of Chuck with my children, I never dreamed there were real people in the real world in similar operations, but unlike Chuck and Sara, they did not have good intentions, a good conscience, or seek to do the ‘right’ thing.

There are currently government psyops seeking to impact the way you and I think. A psyop is short for “psychological operation”. The people who are given the task of implementing such operations are often referred to as an OP, or operative.

There are some general characteristics of OPs that can help us to analyze information we receive to protect us from getting duped – and thus falling into category 4 above. OPs often do a great job of fitting in, looking normal, and appearing to have the same goals and purposes of the group which they infiltrate. They often seem like ‘the most trusted individuals of all.’

Some questions are too important to get wrong. It seems the number one point to remember is – Question everything and everyone.

If there are people in our country capable of perpetuating a great lie on the entire population, you can be sure that they are also capable of mounting a significant ‘disinformation movement’ in order to lead those who might discover the lie, down a different path – a path of their own making. It is an ALTERNATIVE path, but not a path to the real TRUTH.

Thus, in the maze of alternative information sources we must be careful to question. Just because someone labels himself or herself “alternative” does not always guarantee they are a truth seeker and truth proclaimer.

To be fair, some in the alternative media might be proclaiming lies – unknowingly – as in category 4.

Dr Judy Wood shares an important list of points to consider when evaluating information and seeking to know ‘who can I trust?'[2] This list can help provide discernment to discover if a person’s intent is to mislead, confuse, and divide. Disinformation specialists do not announce their intentions. They try to gain trust and get people to accept their ideas, then subtly lead them astray or cause a breakdown in an effective group. Even if you don’t claim to be a follower of Jesus, you can certainly see the truth of His words to his followers:  “Beware of false prophets, they come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inside are ferocious wolves.”[3]

  1. Does this person encourage me to think my own thoughts or do they want to pressure me to accept their thoughts as my opinion?
  2. Does this person support and encourage me to continue working independently or do they try to impede my research efforts?
  3. Does this person share facts and documented evidence or attack those with a different point of view?
  4. Does this person respect me if our opinions differ? Can they tolerate independent thought? Can we rationally discuss ideas when we differ?
  5. Does this person have any financial or career links to the points they are making?
  6. Do they resort to authority? “I’m a nurse” or “I’m a doctor” or “listen to a doctor”

Discussion in the field of vaccine research can be highly emotive. Many parents at one time were in category 4. They were lied to. They believed a lie. They believed vaccines were safe and effective, only to find they weren’t – at least in the case of their own child. They live with the pain of that decision every day of their lives as they deal with vaccine injury. To be fair, maybe their doctor also fell into category 4 – he also thought vaccines were safe and effective. However, doctors have been so conditioned, have been lied to and participated in the lie for so long, that they have a very hard time ever admitting vaccine injury – even when it is right in front of them with a patient collapsing with seizures after a vaccine or not able to walk or talk after a round of ‘boosters.’

MiSTRAL En.inddOur own personal health and safety is up to us. Strong forces stand to benefit more when we accept everything we are told by those in authority. They don’t want us to question for ourselves. That should be a big red flag in and of itself.

I wish strength and health to you and your family in your search for truth. I hope my writing might be a means of facilitating questioning and truth seeking. If you have always assumed there was a rock solid case for vaccine safety, I encourage you to seek to understand your advisor well. What are the motives or the financial ties of those who are giving your information? Don’t fall prey to the blind leading the blind.[4] If you plan on giving some vaccines please read this first. Blessings.

Vaccine Risks vs Benefits

Posted on by

Baby funny croppedIf you are considering following the CDC recommended vaccination schedule for your baby or child, here are some facts you should make sure you know and understand:

  1. I understand that the pharmaceutical company who made this vaccine has NO liability in the event of a “bad” batch, or any severe reaction my child might have.
  2. I understand that I pay a $0.75 Federal Excise Tax per vaccine, which is used to pay 
vaccine injured families through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP) created by the US government in 1986.[1]
  3. I understand that $3.5 billion has been paid out for proven and admitted vaccine injury through the NVICP.
  4. I understand that this vaccine contains neurotoxins such as aluminum that far exceeds “safe levels” deemed by the EPA for IV products.
  5. I understand that this vaccine contains carcinogenic ingredients.
  6. I understand that this vaccine could have been formulated and developed using aborted fetal cell lines.
  7. I understand that getting this vaccine does not ensure that my child will be protected from the disease.
  8. I understand that my child could get the very disease s/he was vaccinated for.
  9. I understand that my child could be a carrier of the disease s/he was vaccinated for and spread it either through viral “shedding” or asymptomatic illness for up to six weeks.
  10. I understand that my doctor may receive monetary rewards or face other pressure to have a high percentage of his/her patients fully vaccinated.
  11. I understand that if a vaccine injures my child, my doctor would have to spend time filling out paper work in order to report it through Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).[2]
  12. I understand that my doctor has no incentive to fill out paperwork for a vaccine injury.
  13. I understand that while some doctors are aware of vaccine injury, doctors are mostly trained and encouraged to deny vaccine injury.[3]
  14. I understand that vaccine injury is under-reported.
  15. I understand that vaccine mandates (like California Senate Bill 277) remove all exemptions except rarely received medical and are strongly pushed by pharmaceutical interests, despite a vaccine rate of 97.46%.[4]
  16. I understand that pharmaceutical companies have no incentive to make their product better or safer.
  17. I understand that pharmaceutical companies spend up to four times more on advertising than they do on research.
  18. I understand that corporate media gets 70% of their advertising revenue from pharmaceutical companies.
  19. I understand that corporate media does not want to lose revenue, certainly not 70% of it.
  20. I understand that when pharmaceutical companies conduct a study (on their own product) it is in their best interest to have a favorable outcome. Their studies are designed to show only positive results.[5]
  21. I understand that the entire vaccine schedule has never been tested on children in an objective scientific manner.
  22. I understand that this vaccine is known to cause injury or death, and my child could be one of the “rare” statistics.
  23. My doctor has informed me on all the risks and side effects and has reviewed the vaccine insert – not the CDC information sheet – with me.[6]
  24. I understand that if my child dies from this vaccine I will be awarded no more than $250,000, if my claim is proven to be vaccine related, a process that could take over 2 years.
  25. I understand that a specific subset of the population is at greater risk for vaccine injury and that chromosomal tests can confirm my MTHFR gene status  and help determine the vaccine compatibility of my child. [7][8]
  26. I understand that if my baby/child/adult is sick, has a fever, or has been sick or feverish in the past 48 hours, he might be at an increased risk for an adverse reaction. The CDC states is usually no reason to avoid vaccination even when sick, but parents report vaccine injury associated with vaccines given during illness.
  27. I understand that using Tylenol around same time as receiving a vaccine will substantially decrease my child’s level of the chemical glutathione which is essential to process (detox) the adjuvants contained in vaccines, i.e. aluminum, DNA fragments, bacteria, thimerosal, and other ingredients. Therefore, I understand that giving Tylenol before or after a vaccine can greatly increase my child’s chance of a serious vaccine injury.[9]
  28. I am making an informed choice to vaccinate my child.

Now that is what I would consider truly INFORMED CONSENT. Remember, every parent who has experienced a vaccine injury with their child, vaccinated. They thought they were doing their best as parents to protect their child. Now they live with the damage and regret.

Vaccines and Childhood Cancer?

Posted on by

Kid with CancerThis year, 2015, about 1,250 children younger than 15 years old are expected to die from cancer. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in children (after accidents).[1]

This year another 10,380 children in the United States under the age of 15 will be diagnosed with cancer for the first time. Childhood cancer rates have been rising for the past few decades.[2]

Children are recommended to receive 49 doses of vaccines by age 6 and 69 by 18. NONE of these vaccines routinely injected into children, or the combination of all of these vaccines, has ever been tested for carcinogenicity – the ability to cause cancer.

Orthodox medicine, your doctor, the CDC, and all others who encourage the injection of vaccines HAVE NO IDEA IF VACCINES ARE CARCINOGENIC OR NOT because vaccines are not tested for their ability to cause cancer, nor are there studies following the incidence of cancer among vaccinated versus non vaccinated children.

No one has proof that vaccines ARE NOT carcinogenic. The studies have not been done. You can read the information on each vaccine for yourself. The vaccine inserts clearly state that vaccines have not been studied for carcinogenicity.[3]

In fact, vaccines have NEVER been tested for their

  • carcinogenic (cancer causing) properties,
  • mutagenic (mutation causing) properties, or
  • teratogenic (developmental malformation causing) potential.

Not a single vaccine has been tested or studied for any of these properties. Can these chemicals that are injected into healthy children cause cancer? The people manufacturing the vaccines (the drug companies) and the bureaucrats mandating the drugs can’t say NO, because no studies have ever been conducted.

Dr PanDoctors who promote vaccines such as Dr Pan (pictured on right), a California Senator currently pushing strongly to increase vaccine rates for children attending school through his bill #SB277 which intends to remove all but medical exemptions for children attending school, has repeatedly and categorically stated “vaccines are very safe and very effective.” Yet, he doesn’t know if these same vaccines, and these 49 vaccines given in combination to a child by the time he goes to school, might somehow trigger cancer – because no studies have ever been conducted to examine  that potential.

In summary, federal and state governments are mandating that infants and children swallow and be injected with substances that have never been tested for their ability to cause cancer, mutations or developmental malformations. In the meantime, the drug companies are grossing billions of dollars on sales of these potentially carcinogenic products.

No LiabilityFurther, vaccine manufacturers have no incentive to further study the safety of their products because they have been absolved of all liability for these products. They are protected from responsibility for any harm or any danger their vaccine may cause. If a child develops a serious immediate reaction to a vaccine, or a long-term condition like cancer as a result of one vaccine, or the total combination of all the vaccines, the manufacturer bears no financial liability.

CONCLUSIONS ON VACCINES & CANCER from a serious vaccine and childhood cancer researcher:

I am not suggesting that vaccination always leads to cancer. What I am suggesting is that in the same way vaccination can lead to encephalitis (damage of brain tissue) it can also, in some cases, lead to cancer.

Why does one child become autistic from the vaccine and another gets Crohn’s disease? Why does one child get Guillian-Barre Syndrome from a vaccination and another die of SIDS? Why does one child get reoccurring seizures and the other cancer?

How many other viruses is that child carrying? What other latent or hidden infections do they have? How strong is their immune system? How many vaccines can an infant handle before some invisible threshold has been crossed and the body becomes sick?

Alexander got 16 vaccinations from the age of 2 months to 17 months old. My grandparents got one childhood vaccine and they are both alive today. My parents, both born in 1937, got a total of two vaccines up to 17 months old. According to my vaccination booklet (my parents kept wonderful records) I was vaccinated only seven times before I reached 17 months. In fact, my first vaccine came at the age of 5 months, not two months like Alexander.

Every new childhood vaccine that is introduced means more profits for the drug companies so there is a tremendous incentive to keep adding more and more. Alexander got vaccinated against chicken-pox, a “disease” that kept our generation at home from school for one week. Do we really need a vaccine against chicken-pox? The drug companies will answer “yes.”[4]

Cancer & CowpoxSo I will ask the question again: Is the current vaccine schedule the cause of the rise of childhood cancers? How many vaccines can an infant handle before some invisible threshold has been crossed and the body becomes sick? Why are we not actively studying the possible association between vaccines and childhood cancers?

The most powerful doctors in America are those affiliated with drug companies. The influence of the drug companies is so complete and profound that the agenda of the drug manufacturers has become the agenda of mainstream medicine and the U.S. government.[4]

How Has Our Country Gone so Wrong?

MonkeysIn our times many people are coming to greater awareness and understanding that there are serious evil forces at work in the world. This information is hard to comprehend in light of the vast history of mankind and the “civilized” cultures that we have come to accept as the norm. Yet, evidence continues to build that there are powerful individuals who seemingly perpetuate significant harm, illness and death on others for their personal gain. How can this be? This is my imperfect attempt to help understand the evil that seems to be growing all around us. It is based on my repeated reading of the Bible and seeking to understand the whole of God’s work in history.

I’ve been practicing a discipline of once a week fasting for 24 hours to pray and focus on these hopes and aspirations:

  • Seek Truth through God’s word, the Bible
  • Discern how to apply God’s word to my life
  • Effectively share God’s word with others

So I can KNOW God, repent of my sin and experience the full joy of salvation, encouraging others to do the same.

Reading Romans 1 brings to mind the many relevant comparisons applicable to our world today. This passage of Scripture, written by Paul to a group of people living in Rome, describes the depravity man can descend to when they ignore God and leave Him out of their life equation.

Since the domination of Charles Darwin’s book, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life, the theory of evolution has gained a strong foothold in nearly every area of science and medicine. The theory of evolution underpins the training and thinking of most scientists and medical professionals in a technical system that denies God’s design and creative authorship. How has this caused deception and confusion that extends even among God’s own people?

cosmosLike the people Paul was describing:

They know the truth about God because He has made it obvious to them. For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see His invisible qualities – His eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.

God can be known when we seek to discover Him through all He has made.

Yes, they knew God. But they wouldn’t worship Him as God or even give thanks to God. They began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like.

Like people today. We don’t want to acknowledge God, because that might impact our life choices. So we deny Him, because we don’t want to worship Him.

As a result, their minds became dark and confused. Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools. And instead of worshipping the glorious, ever-living God. They worshipped idols made to look like mere people.

The people Paul referred to worshiped idols in the form of statues and images. Today we consider ourselves too civilized for that kind of thing. However, I think if we open our eyes we can see how people today also worship many things other than God. We may worship modern medicine, specific procedures, like vaccines, technology, gadgets, education, status, etc. When we worship, we show adoration or devotion toward a person or principle. There is a lot of false worship going on today. There are so many ways in which we worship the technologies we have developed with our own hands, or worship our  own ideas and our own intelligence.

When we develop our own sources to worship, we declare we do not need God. Today doctors and scientists feel they have defeated disease through their wonderful vaccines. They have now abandoned a sensible approach to healing in deference to their wonder drugs. They have stopped seeking real science and believe the lies they have had repeated over and over. The drug and vaccine culture have also had the power to make many people very wealthy. Over the years many of these drug companies have accumulated massive profits. Buying stock in these companies has often been a good investment. Do these companies follow ethical practices and seek truth? Do you, as a Christians investor even care?

So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other’s bodies. The men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved.

Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, He abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done.

Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling  deception, malicious behavior, and gossip. They are backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful. They invent new ways of sinning and they disobey their parents.

There are many signs all around us of an abundance of evil. We see evidence of a corrupt government, corrupt science, dangerous medical practices pushed on unsuspecting public in the name of profit, unprecedented levels of murdering of unborn children, unjust wars, human trafficking and killing innocent women and children, and sexual perversion of all kinds. We see government agencies like the NSA, CIA, FBI, DHS, CPS amassing power that causes the average citizen to tremble. We see injustice all around us and don’t know who to believe any more.

God is looking for individuals to give up their idols, repent and seek Him. He wants a relationship with individuals. His judgment will come, but those who seek salvation through Jesus Christ will be saved.

There is an explanation for the evil around us. It has occurred because people have forsaken God and He has abandoned them to their own wicked desires. He offers salvation through Jesus to all who will humble themselves and turn from their wicked selfish desires. The level of evil and suffering is bound to increase. The Bible has a lot to say about the future. In these crazy evil times, the most important, protective thing any person can do, is seek Jesus.

For I have a great sense of obligation to people in both the civilized world and the rest of the world, to the educated and uneducated alike…

For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes… This Good News tells us HOW God makes us right in His sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith. As the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.”

If I am successful in sharing information that gives light in matters of health, but ignore these essential truths, what have I gained? The most important information anyone needs is a knowledge of God leading to faith. Knowing God and accepting Jesus Christ, “in whom is hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Colossians 1) is the foundation that leads to all truth. He gives light in every single subject when you seek Him.

I pray my reflections will be beneficial. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the evil developing and becoming more obvious in so many areas of modern ‘civilized’ societies. Please use the comments box below.

Vaccines & DNA

Posted on by
7

My heart is heavy as I write this. I do not claim to have all the answers. I know there are better ways to express this information, and I’m sure many of the facts could be refined to be more precisely accurate. However, the foundation of these facts is undisputed. I’d love ideas for how to better express them.

DNAIs our current schedule of vaccines containing animal DNA and residual virus particles a risk for our very survival?

Vaccines are known to contain foreign cell proteins in a variety of forms from aborted human fetal cell fragments to monkeys, pigs, dogs[1], insects[2], guinea pigs, cows, chicks, eagles and more. Every vaccine can contain a variety of these foreign proteins, DNA fragments and accompanying viruses known to infect these animals.[3]

Animals and animal cells have been used in creating vaccines from the earliest efforts to “protect” the population from infectious disease. There have always been residual amounts of these cells that are being injected intramuscularly into the body with every vaccine given.

What impact does injecting foreign proteins, DNA and virus have?

Close contact with animals has been known to cause transfer of viruses specific to animal populations to humans.[4] One concern (and there are many others) is that injecting these foreign animal cells, known to be vehicles for retroviruses particular to those animals, has a much broader impact on human health than has been recognized. Simian virus 40 (SV40) is a commonly known retro virus from monkey kidney cells. The n

Most people by now have probably heard of SV40 which came from rhesus monkeys that were used to grow the polio virus cells in the late 1950s in the process of vaccine manufacture. The CDC admitted that polio vaccines given in the early 1960s were contaminated with this virus and the impact is becoming more apparent as the millions of people injected is aging and experiencing specific cancers associated with SV40. Lab analysis of brain and other tumors confirms the presence of SV40.[6]

SV40 has also been found in the tumors of children with cancer today, although the vaccine has not been used for 40 years or so. How is this possible?

Either there is still residual SV40 in current vaccines, or these viruses have changed the human genome and have been passed from their mothers.

RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) is now a serious risk for infection for babies. It is actually, Simian Coryza Virus, a virus common to monkeys which was renamed. It is a new viral risk for human children, unknown previously.

Is the animal DNA we have injected into our bodies, and that is being injected into our babies, negatively impacting our optimal health?

Keep in mind it has taken 50 years for scientists working in this field to realize (or admit) that these viruses are here and that they are causing sickness and cancer now. How long will it take to realize that the current contaminated vaccines have infected the human race?

There are many important questions raised, yet it is so taboo to ask questions regarding the vaccines recommended by the CDC that all scientific discourse is shut down. Has our vaccine program become the sacred cow? Are scientists, medical professionals and thinkers confined to staying in one paradigm in understanding this topic?

Can we release our infatuation with the idea of vaccines long enough to examine the true evidence and follow the science until we find answers to these important questions? Have we been ensnared by a lie?

However difficult, we need to have these discussions, especially in the Christian community.

The Shocking Truth about aborted human fetal cells in vaccines

Posted on by

Aborted Fetal Cells

Vaccines have been hailed as ‘one of the modern wonders of the world.’ Many staunch pro-life supporters do not realize that the vaccines they have grown up thinking normal and essential for health and well-being, have a darker side. I am writing this primarily for my Christian friends to explain my views on this controversial topic.

Aborted baby for vaccinesMany vaccines are derived using cell lines which were established by using aborted human fetal tissue a.k.a. human diploid cells (HDC). These cells were intentionally harvested from abortions in order to do scientific research. It was not a matter of randomly collecting the “wastes”. There was a scientist alerted and on standby to collect and properly  preserve the human embryo extracted from its mother. The scientific journal, Nature, explains the history and gives a detailed inside look into the background of this less known side of science.[1]

As a Christian I am strongly opposed to any product which relies on an abortion. Other Christian authors have come to opposing conclusions. One particularly well-known author is not satisfied with having a different conclusion than I do, he also attacks Christians like me who disagree with him as being naive and promoting bald face lies, of a particularly evil nature. I am confident that I am not naive, am not repeating lies and I have no evil agenda. My sole aim is to help parents understand the science behind our amazing immune system – a system that was perfectly designed by our Creator. If someone has a different view, and even if they claim to be a Christian, that is fine for them. We will all answer to God for the choices we make and the influence we exert in the world.

Swedish abortionsIt has been stated that there was only one abortion involved, so people like me are promoting lies. For the WI-38 cell line there were 38 abortions performed before the cell line was successfully cultured – thus the number, ’38’. {edit: while the number 38 may not indicate 38 abortions, from Hayflick’s paper we know at least 20 abortions were performed[8].} Other cell lines derived from aborted human fetal tissue are MRC-5, HEK-293, RA27/3 (’27/3′ refers to the 27th abortion, 3rd attempt before the cell line grew). This tissue has been used in developing vaccines for chickenpox, Hepatitis A, MMR, MR, Rubella, Polio, Shingles and Smallpox (Acambis 1000) which are currently in use today and injected into babies and children (and now more frequently recommended for adults).[2]

Is there an impact on health?

Another very profoundly disturbing aspect of using human fetal cells to culture viruses which are injected into human babies has to do with the DNA fragments. The aforementioned Christian author insists that there is no DNA contained in the vaccines, but the FDA has a legal limit for the amount of DNA, which is routinely exceeded.

In 1986: WHO established a DNA limit for vaccines manufactured in cell lines at ≤ 100 pg per dose. At the very least, that means since 1986 there has been an ‘acceptable limit’ and an acknowledgement that DNA fragments are injected into babies.[3]

But what is the impact of the human DNA when injected into babies? and others?

Fetal cells Vaccines

The implication and health impact of injecting foreign DNA (including DNA from other animals, which is also used in vaccine production) is not completely understood and those wishing to explore the science are often discouraged from doing so.[4] DNA cells present in vaccines has been debated for over 40 years and those promoting vaccines claim the amounts to be “in such infinitesimal amounts” that they are GRAS (generally regarded as safe) yet they resist further study.[5] At the very least there should be more urgent honest investigation. In the meantime all children are victims of this experiment.

I find it incomprehensible that any Christian organization would encourage parents to knowingly put their children at risk of great harm based on a tightly controlled system of lies, spin and marketing.

I find it perplexing how many peer-reviewed scientific publications, old and recent, clearly indicate the multiple dangers that are associated with vaccines yet the public is often bombarded and heavily marketed with how safe vaccines are.

Just as there is data suggesting vaccines are safe, there is also data suggesting that they aren’t. This is why it’s so important to do your own research, and not just accept what you are told blindly without investigation.[6]

Paul warned us in 2 Thessalonians 2 that there are evil forces on earth which are secretly at work. Could the pharmaceutical industry be a key player in the deceptive tactics Jesus, Paul, Peter and John all warned us about?[7]

Baby funny croppedOur babies are precious. We have been given the task as parents to protect them from harm. We have an enemy in this world who is seeking to steel, kill and devour (John 10:10). Jesus wants to give us life and protect us from evil. I urge all parents to diligently do the research necessary for themselves. You need to know which shot your doctor is recommending. You need to evaluate the full risk of the shot compared to the risk of the illness with appropriate treatment.

As far as the argument pushing parents to get the shot for the good of the community or of immuno compromised individuals – The best gift you can give to yourself or your community is a healthy child with a well-functioning immune system. Vaccines fail miserably in both safety and efficacy. Children who receive vaccines are probably a greater risk to the community. A healthy non vaccinated child poses no risk.

You need to study this topic BEFORE you agree to any vaccine, particularly in pregnancy and for newborns. Give more time to this decision than your choice of car seat, cell phone, or anything else. It is critically important.

Parents need to demonstrate discernment and seek truth. Acting out of fear, inspired through the media and marketing, is contrary to what Jesus called us to. There are  many peer-reviewed scientific publications, and many professionals speaking out on the unanswered questions regarding vaccine safety. There are known dangers  associated with vaccines, with a separate court system set up to provide compensation for victims of vaccine injury, yet the public is often bombarded with scary stories and marketing materials claiming how safe vaccines are.

Don’t take my word for it. Begin exploring the science behind vaccines. I am absolutely confident that Jesus Christ, the source of all wisdom and knowledge, can lead you to truth. I pray daily for the Christian community to wake up to the deception that is trying to engulf us and take us captive with serious physical consequences for ourselves, our children and our future. God needs us all to be awake, aware and ready for the soon return of Jesus our Lord.

Conversation PramIt might be a neighbor, a relative, or a casual acquaintance. It might even be your pediatrician or other health care provider. They make some outrageous or attacking comment about how the non-vaccinated (they usually say Unvaccinated, but it’s not possible to “un” vaccinate a person, so I prefer the term “non” vaccinated) are putting everyone at risk, are harming their own kids and others, etc.

The interesting thing is most of these people have no idea about the science behind the vaccination debate nor the forces promoting the oft repeated mantras “vaccines are safe and effective; they’ve saved the world; you’re stupid if you don’t get one; if there are risks they are very very rare.”

What is a thinking person to do? If you care about this person, or if you are going to have to bump up against this person at some future points in life and really don’t want the whole litany to come out again, you might like this plan.

Learn a couple of key questions to ask your staunch vaccine proponent and tell them, “If you can answer a couple of questions, I’d be happy to discuss this topic further with you.”

Here is a sample of some of the questions that might be helpful, complete with the answers, or you may like to think up your own questions.

#1 What is MRC-5 and WI-38 and what vaccines are they in?

Aborted Fetal CellsAnswer – MRC-5 and WI-38 are the names of two fetal cell lines derived from aborted human fetal tissue (aka human diploid cells or HDC) and used in the production of the mumps, rubella, measles, MMR, smallpox, polio, hepatitis A, chicken pox and shingles vaccines. RA-273 is another fetal cell line.

#2 Name three ingredients in vaccines

SH Truth on AluminumAnswer – Aluminum, Polysorbate 80, and Glutaraldehyde. Aluminum is a known neurotoxin and the FDA only allows 25 mcg in an IV for an adult. Polysorbate 80 is a surfactant known to facilitate access through the blood brain barrier and has been linked to sterility and other issues. Glutaraldehyde is used as a cleaner for oil and gas pipelines and medical equipment, and is currently in the DTaP and TDaP. Formaldehyde is another concerning ingredient in many vaccines and I’ve written a lot more about formaldehyde in this blog post.

#3 What are hexavalent and pentavalent vaccines and at what age are they recommended?

Answer – Hexavalent and Pentavalent vaccines deliver either five or six different vaccines in one injection. Popular variations include diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B, HIB and polio. Babies are recommended to receive the initial dose at two months of age, followed by three boosters of most of the vaccines. See the complete CDC schedule in a chart below.

#4 What is a commonly used hexavalent vaccine that includes the DTaP and what is the total aluminum content as well as the EPA safe limit of aluminum for an adult IV?

Answer – PEDIARIX is a hexavalent vaccine targeting diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B virus, and poliomyelitis and is currently recommended in three doses for babies at  2, 4, and 6-months.[1] It is commonly given without parental knowledge or sometimes parents are told “It’s easier now, because there is only one needle.” This vaccine contains 850 mcg of aluminum, which is 825 mcg over what the EPA mandates as safe in an IV for an adult, and does not take into account the aluminum contained in other vaccines given at the same time.

Related question: What are the contraindications for PEDIARIX? or, should anyone NOT receive this vaccine?

YES. This information is provided in the full vaccine package insert, which ALL doctors should read, but rarely will you find a doctor who is familiar with this content. For one thing, a previous vaccine reaction is a reason NOT to give future shots. This is part of the contraindications as listed in both the PEDIARIX and INFANRIX vaccine package inserts:

“4.2 Encephalopathy (e.g., coma, decreased level of consciousness, prolonged seizures) within 7 days of administration of a previous dose of a pertussis-containing vaccine that is not attributable to another identifiable cause is a contraindication to administration of any pertussis-containing vaccine, including PEDIARIX.

4.3 Progressive Neurologic Disorder progressive encephalopathy is a contraindication to administration of any pertussis-containing vaccine, including PEDIARIX. Pertussis vaccine should not be administered to individuals with these conditions until a treatment regimen has been established and the condition has stabilized.”[2]

Recomended Vaccines 83-2015#5 How many vaccines are recommended for a baby by 18 months?

Answer – 42 vaccines are recommended by the CDC for all babies by the time they are 18 months old.[2] Each containing toxic chemicals including Aluminum, formaldehyde, Glutaraldehyde, Polysorbate 80, Propylene Glycol, and foreign DNA fragments from human foetuses, monkeys, pigs, guinea pigs, dogs and insects.[3] Additional vaccines are recommended from 4-6 years old and more vaccines are recommend to be given to adolescents.

Related question – How many vaccines are currently in production?

Answer – ±270 new vaccines at this time.

#6 Explain the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act. When was it passed and what did it accomplish?

Answer – The US Congress passed the NCVIA in 1986 when the pharmaceutical companies came to them and threatened not to make any more vaccines unless they would be protected from any liability of lawsuits for damages or deaths resulting from vaccines. Doctors and pediatricians are also protected from liability. No drug company or doctor can be sued if a baby, child or adult dies or suffers from permanent damage from any vaccine.

#7 Who is Dr Paul Offit?

Answer – Dr Paul Offit is one of the most vocal proponents for the vaccine industry and is from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. He put together patents on the RotaTeq vaccine that earned him multi millions of dollars and has written several books targeting those who seek to expose the risks of vaccines.

SH Aluminum in shots#8 How many vaccines has Dr Offit said a child can receive at one time?

Answer – Dr Offit was quoted in the Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, Addressing Parents’ Concerns: Do Multiple Vaccines Overwhelm or Weaken the Infant’s Immune System? “A baby could respond safely and effectively to around 10,000 vaccines at any one time.”

SH Paul Offit on AluminumFurther, Dr Offit maintains that since aluminum is found in all tissues of the body it plays an important role in the development of a healthy fetus, despite the fact that researchers in the field of aluminum have determined that “aluminum has no healthful function in the body. It is a toxin and a toxin only.”  http://vaccinepapers.org/dr-paul-offits-aluminum-deceptions-academic-misconduct/

Dr Andrew Wakefield – Villain or Hero?

Posted on by

Dr Andrew Wakefield is a name you might have heard. Maybe you heard something about his 1998 Lancet study which showed a connection between children with autism who also suffered from bowel disease. OR, if you only heard the ‘sound bites’ in a massive public relations campaign sponsored by forces who are eager to discredit him, you might have heard that his study was a fraud or even that he admitted his study was a fraud. That is a blatant lie designed to hide the truth from an unsuspecting public and repeated by many who are either ignorant, or blatantly deceptive themselves.

This is a quick 5 minute interview with Dr Wakefield, or Andy, as his many many friends, supporters and patients know him. He has spent the last 20 years tirelessly LISTENING TO PARENTS. Imagine that, a doctor that listens to his patients. A medical doctor trained as a specialist gastroenterologist, he published a paper, which has never been refuted, on a small group of autistic children who all had associated bowel disease and the presence of measles virus in the bowel. His study was asking why? And he intended to explore this connection further.

His research plunged him into the midst of strong political forces which did not want to acknowledge any connection between the new MMR vaccine, autism and bowel disease. The battle continues to rage to this day, despite multiple studies which corroborate his original theories. He is also achieving success in treating and healing the bowels of autistic children and seeing corresponding improvement in their neurological symptoms.

All new parents need the truth. Why is there such a strong public relations campaign to discredit this man when no charges have been brought against him? He is happy to openly discuss his science and to engage in a public debate with anyone in the vaccine community. Why won’t they?

Did you know:

  • Many states in the US are currently considering legislative bills that would remove vaccine exemption rights from parents. There is a strong push by pharmaceutical interests to pass these bills.
  • There are over 200 new vaccines in the pipeline. If vaccine exemptions for religious or philosophical reasons are removed, vaccines could be mandated to all but a very few and these new vaccines will be included. We do not know what the risks will be and we will have no choice on whether to accept them or not.
  • The medical freedom of our children and grandchildren is at risk.
  • Whether or not you think a particular vaccine is a good idea or not, now is the time to tell your state representatives that forced medical procedures are against the values and ethos of our country. The freedom of every citizen is at risk.
