The link below should take you to a video produced by The Highwire where Del Bigtree creatively and passionately explains how the push for families to accept a TDaP vaccine in order to keep a new baby safe might NOT be giving the protection desired. From 14-25 minutes of this Hightwire episode, Del analysis a 2013 study of non human primates which compares the immunity of the old DTP vaccine, the DTaP vaccine and natural immunity. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1314688110
Del’s passion and enthusiasm can be a bit over the top for some people. This is why I also collected several studies showing the impact of the DTaP/TDaP shot which explains why they do not give the hoped for protection of a new baby in a recent blog.

Is my baby going to be at risk for developing whooping cough? Who will put my baby at risk?
The following information will help you navigate the pertussis/whooping cough shots. When assessing information that may contradict what you have been told by health professionals, keep an open mind. Seek the truth. Many times very well meaning people have been given false information and haven’t fully researched all the facts.
Did you know that the DTaP does not prevent colonization and transmission of Diphtheria and Pertussis? It only potentially reduces the symptoms in vaccinated individuals. A study done in 2000 concludes, “Vaccinated children may be asymptomatic reservoirs for infection.”http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/6/5/00-0512_article
So the vaccinated can carry and spread the bacteria without feeling sick. That is part of the reason pertussis outbreaks are occurring in highly vaccinated populations. It also contradicts the idea that a healthy unvaccinated person is somehow more likely to spread the disease. The vaccine does not prevent against pertussis, it protects against the “whooping cough” symptom that comes along with pertussis. This may result in those who receive the vaccine being a “silent carrier” which is why pertussis is so prevalent. Grandma gets her TDaP shot and still gets pertussis but doesn’t have the number one sign of pertussis (the cough) and goes and smooches your baby – baby now has pertussis. Many scientific studies clearly acknowledge these facts.
In an article entitled, “The 112-Year Odyssey of Pertussis and Pertussis Vaccines-Mistakes Made and Implications for the Future” in the Journal of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society, the author acknowledges: that the vaccine being given is making people more susceptible to pertussis: “Because of linked-epitope suppression, all children who were primed by DTaP vaccines will be more susceptible to pertussis throughout their lifetimes, and there is no easy way to decrease this increased lifetime susceptibility.” Cherry JD. The 112-Year Odyssey of Pertussis and Pertussis Vaccines-Mistakes Made and Implications for the Future. J Pediatric Infect Dis Soc. 2019 Sep 25;8(4):334-341. doi: 10.1093/jpids/piz005. PMID: 30793754.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/30793754/
The ‘baboon study’ may be the most significant explanation of how the vaccine may mask symptoms and instead of reducing transmission – may actually increase transmission to the non vaccinated. Acellular pertussis vaccines protect against disease but fail to prevent infection and transmission in a nonhuman primate model, https://www.pnas.org/content/111/2/787
Del Bigtree from The Highwire provides a detailed passionate video illustration of the findings of the baboon study here from 14 minutes – 25 minutes.
Is there longterm protection for children who receive all five doses of the DTaP vaccine? Waning Protection after Fifth Dose of Acellular Pertussis Vaccine in Children. Nicola P. Klein, Joan Bartlett, Ali Rowhani-Rahbar, et al. The New England Journal of Medicine, Massachusetts Medical Society, Sep 13, 2012. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1200850
Whooping cough in school age children with persistent cough: prospective cohort study in primary care states “Conclusions For school age children presenting to primary care with a cough lasting two weeks or more, a diagnosis of whooping cough should be considered even if the child has been immunised. Making a secure diagnosis of whooping cough may prevent inappropriate investigations and treatment.” BMJ 2006; 333:174 https://www.bmj.com/content/333/7560/174
So what’s a parent to do? Insisting that everyone that will come into contact with baby must be vaccinated will not offer protection from whooping cough and may, indeed, increase the risk that baby will be infected with and get whooping cough.
I believe breastfeeding is the number one immune boost your baby needs for protection against all infection. Breastfeeding is simple, but not always easy. Prioritizing successful breastfeeding means getting information and support in advance to understand and overcome potential challenges. Avoiding all nipple substitutes in the first six to eight weeks will help prevent nipple confusion and rejection by baby of the breast. The best way to become comfortable with breastfeeding is to spend time with mothers who successfully and happily breastfed their babies.
Close contact (holding, kissing, etc.) with recently vaccinated individuals should be avoided, as they are potential silent carriers, but there is no need to panic and stress. Wearing your baby in a carrier when out in public is a great way to keep baby close and protect from unwanted contact.
If baby does develop a pertussis infection, early treatment with a high dose vitamin C protocol has been highly effective. As a parent who experienced whooping cough with four of my children when they were young, I can encourage you that children do survive whooping cough.
One serious reason to be wary of the DTaP and TDaP vaccines is the high level of aluminum they contain. A deep dive into the potential harm of injecting aluminum shows that there are many possible ramifications from auto-immune disorders to neurologic (brain) injury. Parents are not given true informed consent when they are not told of the possible adverse events of injecting aluminum. The biggest question to consider is, do I want to avoid a lifetime illness, possible neurological injury, or an infection of short duration that can be treated?

The CDC schedule is clear. Add them up for yourself. They want every child to receive 36 doses targeting 15 different diseases by the age of 15 months — in the hope that these injections will prevent illness in your baby. But, will following this recommendation produce a healthy baby?
I can’t show the entire schedule at once because it is so large, but take a look at this segment!
To inspect the entire schedule, as published by the CDC, go here.
Please note that the number, 36, is reached by
counting the DPaT and MMR as THREE because both of these shots contain 3 different concoctions added together.
does not include the number of injections recommended by the CDC for children in the hope of preventing influenza (aka flu). If you accept all of those (most parents do not) add three for a total of 39 by 15 months. After that, the recommendation is for an additional shot each and every year.
This chart only shows injections recommended up to the age of 15 months. There are plenty more the CDC recommends to get after that time. For the next portion of recommendations, go to this link and scroll down.
Studying this schedule creates many questions in my mind. How did children survive before receiving such a barrage of shots? Prior to 1986 there were far less shots being promoted. See the following chart comparing shots given in s1962, 1983 and 2018.
Another important question – and one that should be OBVIOUS: Has anyone ever studied in detail how this combination of shots will impact a baby? Has each shot added been tracked and followed in its entirety since it is given in combination with so many others? Searching for this information on-line has become challenging. Every search I tried brought me to yet another page by the CDC. The following diagram shows that the testing of every vaccine is based on the assumed safety of a vaccine that was older. Each vaccine added was not tested against a true placebo, but was tested against an older vaccine. When challenged by ICANdecide.org the CDC was unable to produce any safety trials showing that vaccines were tested by a true placebo. Additionally, CDC was unable to produce any evidence that the entire combination schedule of shots had been tested and proven to be safe.
‘Safety’ trials for all the vaccines added to the schedule built on supposed safety of previous shots
Another critically important question: Has the total amount of aluminum and other potential neurotoxins been considered in this bloated schedule? Aluminum is just one of the ingredients. There is no evidence of safety of aluminum in shots because it has never been tested for safety. Aluminum has been added to vaccines because it enhances the body’s response. It is called an adjuvant. From early days it that has been “GRAS” meaning, generally regarded as safe, despite no testing or evidence to support this categorization.
And finally, as a parent that is most concerned about a healthy happy baby who grows up to be a healthy teen and adult: Has there ever been a longterm thorough study of fully vaccinated, partially vaccinated and non vaccinated children in regards to total health outcomes? Does accepting the vaccine schedule by the CDC lead to a longer, healthier life? Since we live in a time with skyrocketing allergies, neurologic disabilities of many types, and other serious health issues in childhood, this is a vitally important question to consider. It would be very easy for the CDC to do such a study — if they truly wanted to know the results.
Here is an idea to consider. If I offer you a milkshake — in your favorite flavor — how many rat turds can I put into it before you will reject it? If I put in one rat turd, and you can easily remove it with a spoon, will you still drink the milkshake? What about a handful of rat turds, mixed around? At what point will you refuse the milkshake?
The milkshake represents the CDCs credibility. Maybe they made a couple mistakes in the past. But how can they continue to recommend so many shots TO HEALTHY BABIES to this day? If any of their recommendations cannot stand — and the Hepatitis B shot for newborns is a great example – can I trust ANY of their recommendations?
You decide. Your baby’s health is in your hands. The most important part of your baby to protect is their brain.

If car seats had warnings about causing my child encephalitis, anaphylactic shock, SIDS, febrile seizures, chronic illness, lifelong neurological impairment, etc., I wouldn’t use them.
If my doctor told me to use the same car seat for newborns, toddlers, older children and adults, regardless of size or medical status, I would remember we don’t treat other products or medications as one-size-fits-all and I wouldn’t try to put an infant into a seat too large for an adult.
If my doctor said the exact compilation of harnesses, the direction the car seat is facing, and the type of car it fits into, all make the car seat not only safe and effective but necessary to prevent death, and then I found out they’ve NEVER studied the multiple factors together, AND that the car seat manufacturers had no liability WHATSOEVER for their products, I would question the knowledge and loyalties of my doctor and not follow the recommendation.
If I asked for more information on the car seat and my doctor gave me two pages that said the car seat works great, but failed to give me the full data sheets that showed the car seats were actually quite dangerous, haven’t been studied in babies, and have contraindications in many of the groups doctors use them in, I would at the very least find a new doctor.
If I knew the U.S. Supreme Court clearly declared car seats ‘unavoidably unsafe’ I would wonder why they aren’t making car seat manufacturers accountable for injuries and death, and I certainly wouldn’t make usage mandatory.
If I knew car seat manufacturer whistleblowers had come forward to expose data manipulation that implicated the manufacturers and the government agencies that recommended them, I wouldn’t use them and I’d call for a federal investigation rather than allowing the complicit parties to ‘investigate’ themselves.
If car seat ads accounted for 85% of mainstream media ad revenue, I would understand that they can’t be impartial with their reporting, I wouldn’t blindly trust their recommendations, and I would question all information supplied by mainstream media.
If car seat manufacturers continually paid out billions in civil and criminal fines for manipulating safety data, injuring and killing people with their products, yet the products were not recalled, I wouldn’t use them.
If car seat manufacturers used aborted babies in their manufacturing process, I wouldn’t use them.
If car seats caused the accidents they were meant to protect against, I wouldn’t use them.
If my child had a worsening reaction and decline in health every time I put them in a car seat, I wouldn’t use them.
If my doctor got paid an additional $400 every time I used a car seat, couldn’t tell me anything specific about the car seat, and saw these negative reactions following car seat exposure, but said it was ‘just a coincidence’, I wouldn’t use them and I’d get a new doctor.
If the available car seats used ingredients and schedules that were banned in other safer/healthier countries, I wouldn’t use them.
If I knew that after using a car seat my child might seem fine at first, but that car seats may cause infertility, cancer, mutagenesis, neurological damage and autoimmune diseases, I wouldn’t use them.
If people who didn’t use car seats were consistently healthier, I would at least do my own research.
If we weren’t allowed to do actual thorough standard scientific tests for car seat safety or ask ANY questions about them, if all dissenting views on car seats are censored — even personal accounts from parents who are direct eye-witnesses to the car seat damage — but the public is still urged, coerced and/or forced to use them, I would think maybe I should do some digging for myself instead of blindly accepting the research of the companies profiting from products known to injure or kill and for which they face no liability at all.
You can bundle the healthiest ingredients with the best of intentions, wrap them in poison and they’re still just poison. When you make an extremely profitable product liability-free, the result is that there is no incentive to make sure the product is safe or effective.
Don’t exchange liberty for a fallacious sense of security, especially at the expense of our children.

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!

I have a confession: I’ve been a rebel – probably all my life! God turned my rebellion around in 1980 so that instead of rebelling against Him, I began to rebel against societal norms that had led me away from Him.
I rebelled by having natural births, then home births, breastfeeding for years, questioning the morality of birth control, choosing to be a SAHM rather than pursue a career, turning off the TV, NOT watching the news, making my own from scratch, homeschooling, volunteering rather than seeking a paycheck, and most recently, not following nonsense rules…
Daily I praise God for His transforming salvation through Jesus Christ!
Rebellion can be so liberating! True freedom is righteous rebellion in Jesus! Rebels for Jesus need to unite. We are not such a small group. There are many who share our understanding. Compliance with tyranny and lies is NOT what following Jesus is about.
There is an enemy of our soul. Jesus was very clear: “the enemy comes to steal kill and destroy.” The enemy uses deception. The nature of deception is that you do not know you are being deceived. We have been blessed with a warfare manual that explains the conflict and gives us clear instructions on how to “wage good warfare.” For too long God’s people have tried too hard to be friends with the world, to follow social norms, and to ‘be nice.’ Our struggle is not against flesh and blood. Our neighbors, colleagues, family members, etc are not our enemy. We have the belt of truth and the sword of the Spirit – God’s word – to expose the lies. We can stand firm in love. Standing firm is actually extremely loving. Bending to men is agreeing to lies and forsaking God’s righteousness.
We live in crazy times. We drown in information, but face a derth of wisdom. God’s word provides clear wisdom. The wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. He gives freely to those who seek Him. Fear prevails because of a lack of faith. Faith will lead us to wisdom. We seek a savior for our current life situation because we want to remain comfortable. God has not called His people to a comfortable life. He has called us to a life of fearless following.
There are some bold pastors keeping their churches open. Members attend unafraid. Here is one warrior pastor who has been a missionary to the preborn for decades. He boldly declares the word of God and applies it to our current circumstances. Matt Trewhella pastors a church in Wisconsin and seeks to equip the body of Christ on his website Defy Tyrants.
In this 7 minute video he challenges a popular view that many Christians hold. You might not change your mind, but watch what he says so that you can formulate why you disagree.
There are also a multitude of medical and scientific professionals speaking out sharing facts dramatically different than what you will hear on the news or from government organizations. They risk a lot to share. One sweet gentlemen has put together an excellent video sharing his wisdom and insight. His sole goal is to help people stay healthy, yet this type of direct information is often purposefully banned — like book burnings of long ago. Dr Hotze explains in detail why the experimental liability-free gene therapy labelled as a ‘vaccine’ being pushed on the public using fear, panic, and mass hysteria is all about control, power, and money by the government and big business.
Paul urged the church in Thessalonica to test all the prophesies – or information – that they received. Is the church today doing enough digging to get the truth?
Do not quench the Spirit. Do not treat prophecies with contempt but test them all; hold on to what is good, reject every kind of evil. 1 Thessalonians 5:19-22

Catie Clobes is a mother on a mission. Her precious baby died 36 hours after getting her routine six months recommended vaccines. She passionately fights to get the truth to other unsuspecting parents. She trusted the doctors. She trusted the CDC. She never researched for herself. What she has discovered through her intense research since the death of her daughter has set her on a life-altering course. She crusades to get the truth to parents in the hope that many babies will be spared harm through vaccines. She was betrayed by the system, but she works tirelessly to make sure other parents are given true informed consent.

You’re being controlled, conditioned, and lied to because of money and power. It’s as simple, pathetic, and tragic as that.
Share Catie’s message with others. The world needs to know and the media will not highlight or even cover this information. If you are newly pregnant, research this information more than any other product you consider for your new baby. Lives depend on it.

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.
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
Below you will find links to the most popular blogs I’ve published with the date and number of views.
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! Together we can help each other discover a healthy path in this crazy upside down world.

[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/
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
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 ina 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!).
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 🙂

I recently saw this list of questions to ask midwives and thought it was a fairly good list but got me thinking about the most important questions pregnant parents should ask. I would modify some of the questions so that they require more than a yes/no answer.
One question I would add – at the top of the list is “Describe the cord clamping process”. Many ‘standard’ practices of birth are widely accepted by midwives. Midwives were once the guardians of natural respectful birth but have become indoctrinated with medical training in a similar way as doctors. Not all midwives have the same outlook on standard procedures around birth which makes it important to know what to ask about. Some examples:
Pregnancy
TDaP & flu vaccines routinely recommended during pregnancy have never been safety tested, yet because CDC recommends them for every woman for every pregnancy – no matter when they had the last shot – midwives go along with suggesting or recommending them. This recommendation has only recently been implemented – from around 2008 or so. Before that EVERYONE understood vaccines in pregnancy were a very bad idea. I’ve got a few blogs about these. Moms can absolutely refuse. Politely refuse.
Rhogam during pregnancy. This shot has caused a lot of problems for some individuals related through VaxXed story videos. Many times the blood type of the father is not even considered. If both mom and dad are rH – there is no need for a Rhogam shot either during pregnancy or after birth. I admit I haven’t fully researched the impact of refusing Rhogam for after birth when a baby is rH positive. I just accepted that when my first two babies were born, tested to be + and I got the shot – after the birth. The only ‘danger’ or risk of refusing the Rhogam after birth is going to be for the next pregnancy/baby. If mom is rH negative and baby is rH positive some of the blood may have mixed during the birth process which would cause mom to produce antibodies in the next pregnancy. It will not impact the current baby. There are health risks for mom that are generally not presented when the shot is recommended. Rhogam contains polysorbate 80 which is known to open the blood brain barrier.
During Birth:
What type of monitoring is done during labor?
What kind of movement will be possible for me during labor?
How do you encourage movement?
Under what circumstances would you want to restrict movement?
What type of water birth options are available?
At what stage of labor is a birthing pool encouraged?
What position do most of your moms give birth in? This is a good question because it reveals the reality of what happens – not just what they say they believe in. Standing, squatting, (my third baby) or kneeling over a chair (that’s how you, #4, were born) allow the fullest opening of the pelvis for easier delivery. Lying on a bed restricts the pelvis – my first two babies.
After birth:
Vitamin K. Most facilities routinely administer vitamin K nearly immediately after birth – sometimes without even asking the parents or thinking twice about it. I’ve got a few blogs about Vitamin K. Knowing what I know I would always refuse vitamin K injections, but staff are often misinformed and very pushy about this. If the staff are pushy I would have vitamin K drops on hand and assure them the drops will provide even better protection. I don’t think the drops are necessary to give, but they provide a great protection from pushy medical people. Dr Suzanne Humphries speaks to the details of vitamin K injections and drops in a video on my blog.
Hepatitis B vaccine on first day of life. This is one of the worst vaccines. I’ve written extensively about it. Hepatitis B vaccine is never necessary, especially when mom is negative for hepatitis B, yet so many medical people push it as if it is life-saving.
‘Eye goop’. Standard policy for all babies to protect against blindness possibly caused by STI in the vaginal canal. It burns baby’s eyes and causes them to keep them closed which can interfere with bonding.
Bath. Timing of the first bath. Many people feel delaying a bath is better for baby. The vernix is good to soak in the skin. Any mess can simply be wiped off.
Delayed Cord clamping is HUGE. Quick cord clamping greatly reduces baby’s total blood volume. 1/3 of baby’s blood is still in the cord. Some birth attendants think they delay because they wait one minute. The cord needs to be allowed to give all the residual blood and STEM CELLS to the baby. Some say 10 minutes, some say until the cord stops pulsating, and some do ‘lotus’ birth where they don’t ever cut the cord but keep the cord and placenta attached for days until it naturally falls off!
Ask ‘what happens to my placenta‘? That’s another good question. Many women want to keep their placenta. Some prepare it and capsulize it and find it a wonderful supplement for the months following birth. I never did that, but your SIL did.
All standard procedures can be refused – but navigating the process can be challenging depending on the staff, their beliefs, and their respect for you. Many babies ‘accidentally’ are given shots that the parents have expressly stated they do not want. The best approach for this is to keep the baby in your arms – mom or dad or baby body guard (BBG) – at all times while in the medical facility. If baby needs anything the nurse will sometimes say “I need to take baby to nursery for ….” a BBG must accompany nurse for all such visits.
Medical people hate to be disrespected. The hardest part of navigating birth is the need to be ultra respectful and polite while standing your ground! Information, research, and knowledge will all give you the kahoonas to manage this process. Having respect for ridiculousness is not my strongest character strength, but I keep trying to learn and put it into practice.
I highly recommend a very short booklet called Basic Needs of a Woman in Labor. Understanding these principles truly make labor go easier, faster and better. You can order an electronic copy with any small donation.
I repeat, I have absolute confidence in your body’s ability to grow a baby, birth a baby, and breastfeed a baby! You’re doing great! God created your precious baby and knows him/her well already! There was a divine spark that ignited life in you and is now growing in you! My hope is that you would not have any fear at all, but feel empowered for this process. Love Mom
