Preparing to Vaccinate

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Our government tells us babies need vaccines to be safe and healthy. The reality is that there is a level of risk in giving vaccines and the CDC is fully aware of the risk. Many parents accept what they are told. Others question. Some families have differing opinions on the need for vaccines with one spouse in favor, and the other opposed.

If you are considering giving your child a vaccine for any reason, please do a few things first. Please read the whole list, because there are many important points at the end, but I didn’t know the order to put them in, or which might be the most important for YOU to know. Don’t be surprised like many young parents.

1. Delay as long as possible. The older a baby is, the better; the heavier a baby is, the better. Vaccines are known to cause more damage to younger and lower weight babies.

2. Know the CDC recommended schedule of vaccines so that you know which shots they will want your child to get at which ages. Investigate the frequency and risk of each of the diseases so that you can make an informed choice between the risk of the vaccine and the risk of the illness, when treated.

3. Read the complete vaccine insert and ask the doctor if they have read the complete insert for each vaccine they are recommending. This is a lengthy document which is available from each vaccine manufacturer for each vaccine, or combination (more than one disease covered in the shot) vaccine that they produce. They come with the vaccines, or you can read them from the FDA site on-line.

4. Research the NVICP (National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program), VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System), and the fact that vaccine manufacturers cannot be sued if their products cause damage or death. Pharmaceutical manufacturers, the CDC who recommends their products, and the doctors who administer the products are 100% liability free since Congress passed the National Vaccine Injury Act of 1986. Thousands of those injured by vaccines have been compensated, but this is only a small fraction of those who have. have actually been injured by these products. With no liability the manufacturers have no incentive to improve and ensure safety.

5. Research vaccine injury because it is a reality. After the Movie Vaxxed: From Coverup to Catastrophe was released, thousands of parents became more vocal about their experience with vaccine injury. You can find videos of these personal stories of tragedy. The Vaxxed bus collected thousands of signatures and videos which were compiled into another movie Vaxxed 2: The Peoples Truth.

6. Investigate how much money parents have spent on achieving recovery from vaccine injury. Sometimes this is referred to as “detoxing” after a vaccine. Many (but not all) are achieving incredible healing from serious neurological damage caused by vaccines, but at a tremendous emotional, physical, and financial cost. One mom, whom I know personally, now has a fully functioning 15-year-old. He was diagnosed on the autism spectrum at age 2. While he was able to transfer to mainstream education, the family has spent close to $1 million for all the therapies, treatments, supplements, etc., that have helped them achieve this incredible recovery.

Luca Bugarin after shots7. Take a full-face photograph of your child BEFORE the vaccine. Many subtle signs of vaccine injury can be clearly seen in the face immediately, or in the days following the injections, if we are paying attention. Notice particularly the eyes and the mouth. Sometimes vaccine damage is seen in eyes pulling in different directions or the mouth pulling up or down, in a similar way to those who have experienced a stroke. Many parents notice a pallor or lack of vitality in the face of their child following vaccines. For more information see http://areyoucrooked.com/

8. Take some video of your child’s most advanced actions or skills. Record their speech or verbal ability. Sometimes children have a serious reaction to a vaccine and are sick for several weeks and it becomes difficult to remember what they were capable of before they received the vaccines.

9. Record the batch number, manufacturer, and description of the shot in your own permanent records. Make sure you know exactly what vaccine is being injected into your child. This information will be vital in the case of any injury. It can be included in a VAERS report and can help when cases are presented to VICP for compensation. The batch numbers have relevance in cases where the same batch number has caused multiple injuries and this information could possibly benefit other parents.

10. Limit the number of shots. I would suggest no more than one at a time; that way you will be able to pinpoint which vaccine causes a poor reaction. Vaccine damage is individual but can also be cumulative. Some babies seem to be fine after receiving many injections; others react to only one shot. Limiting the number will give you more precise information on how your baby is responding.

11. High doses of Vitamin C before, and long-term after, can reduce negative symptoms. Toddlers and babies can be given 1 g/day of sodium ascorbate spread throughout the day or give 2 times the RDI/day of a Vitamin C Complex.

12. Give probiotics for at least 2 weeks afterwards.

13. Apply ice immediately, or ASAP, to the injection site.

Warning Tylenol14. Give NO acetaminophen, aka TYLENOL (USA) or PARACETAMOL (SA, UK), no matter who recommends it. While Vitamin C helps with glutathione production in the body, acetaminophen/Tylenol/Paracetamol depletes glutathione. Glutathione is critically important in the role of detoxing the brain. Despite this danger, many health professionals recommend giving a product containing  acetaminophen. Carefully read the contents of all OTC drugs. You will be surprised at how many contain acetaminophen.

15. Investigate exemptions, religious or philosophical, in your state or country. Vaccines are rarely mandated or required. 47 states in the USA allow non-medical exemptions to vaccines for school. You do not have to be a member of a specific religion or explain the details of your religious objection in order to claim a religious exemption for vaccines. You can get more information on vaccine exemptions from the National Vaccine Information Center (nvic.org).

16. Explore your family history for possible vaccine reactions such as: i) Autoimmune diseases, ii) Eczema, iii) High-pitched screaming, iv) Bowel disturbances, etc. Many doctors deny a connection with vaccines, but thousands of parents have found out the hard way, these symptoms can signal a possible adverse reaction. Vaccine reactions can be cumulative, which means they can grow worse with each future vaccine.

17. Do I, or my child, have a defective MTHFR gene? People with a defective MTHFR gene have an impaired ability to produce the MTHFR enzyme (estimates range from 20%-70% or more). This can make it more difficult to break down and eliminate not only synthetic folic acid but other substances like heavy metals.[1] Since vaccines are known to contain heavy metals, it is wise to have at least a simple saliva test to determine your MTHFR gene response.

18. If your child ends up with an obvious reaction to any vaccine, here are some steps you can take to discover and prove it was related to the vaccines.Take your baby/child to the ER and have doctors collect a blood sample to evaluate the “cytokine”, specifically look at the inflammatory cytokines. Insist on this. Save this information because these lab values document and validate the vaccine reaction in medical and legal arenas. This information will also provide substantiation for a doctor to provide you with a medical exemption so that you can say NO to any more vaccines in the future. In addition, recent studies confirm that mothers of children with ASD have elevated inflammatory cytokines and the children with ASD also have elevated inflammatory cytokines (Cytokine dysregulation in autism spectrum disorders (ASD): possible role of the environment).

There are THOUSANDS of families who are spending fortunes they don’t have, to try to restore the health of their precious children after receiving vaccines. While many are achieving success, it is GRUELING, and expensive. There are resources written by parents who are succeeding at detoxing children from vaccine damage [2].  If you don’t know anyone impacted by vaccine injury, or if your children seem fine after getting shots, every day you should thank God that your child has not been similarly injured.

For some it only took one shot to send them into the spiral known as serious vaccine injury. Some families were selective about the shots and delayed them, yet their child was still injured. For others it was a progressive combination of vaccines. These families would give anything to go back in time and make the vaccine decision again.

One mom, L.G., learned about vaccine injury personally: “I received the Hepatitis B series in my late teens because I ‘had’ to have it for college, which I later learned is a LIE. Additionally, these shots were given to prevent a disease I was never at risk for. It had been years since my last vaccines, but that series triggered my autoimmune disease. I developed an arthritis there is no cure for, that is predicted to be chronic and debilitating for the rest of my life, possibly putting me in constant pain and causing me to be unable to walk or move freely. I am currently doing well but must avoid dietary triggers, get regular exercise and rest. I’m taking a mild medication that has the potential to damage my liver. My pro-vaccine rheumatologist even agreed the vaccines I received as a teen were likely a cause/trigger for my arthritis. I just want everyone to know, if you consent to give the vaccines, you take on the responsibility for any negative outcomes for yourself; no one else is liable, the pharmaceutical companies are completely protected.”

EDITED Jan 10, 2019. Perhaps the most important thing you can do IF you decide to give vaccines, is summarized by Dr Edward Yazbak

A young parent would be well advised to NEVER be alone with the baby in the immediate post-vaccination period. The presence of a friend, a neighbor or a relative when the baby arrests or convulses can make the difference between a simple interrogation and a full-blown “crime scene investigation”. The inconvenience of having a guest, including a mother-in-law, pales in comparison to what I have seen happen to innocent people because some doctor decided that there was a “Shaken Baby Syndrome”.  https://www.nvic.org/Doctors-Corner/Edward-Yazbak/Multiple-Vaccinations-and-the-Shaken-Baby-Syndrome.aspx

Most of us can’t imagine anything worse than a baby dying after receiving vaccines. Many parents have found there is something worse: being charged with the murder of your child who dies after receiving vaccines when you are absolutely innocent.

Can Vaccines Ever Cause Harm?

IMG_1723Because we hear “vaccines are safe and effective and everyone needs to give them to every baby so they will be safe and so everyone will be safe” so often and in such a variety of ways, it is possible for many to believe that vaccines never cause harm. Some doctors even reassure their patients that there are virtually no risks from vaccines.

However, manufacturers’ own documents reveal a different reality.

For instance, the Infanrix Hexa is a 6-in-1 vaccination, which combines Diphtheria, Tetanus, Acellular Pertussis, Hepatitis B, enhanced Inactivated Poliomyelitis and Haemophilus influenza type B (HIB B) vaccines is used in 92 countries worldwide and has a long list of adverse events that have been known, yet hidden from the public.

Christina England, a vaccine truth researcher, explains the discovery of confidential documents from GlaxoSmithKline which detail 1,742 adverse events. “The list was so long, it required a full twenty pages. Here are some of the adverse events detailed on charts between pages 11 and 31 of their document:

  • 106 cases of cyanosis
  • 69 cases of loss of consciousness
  • 165 cases of hypotonia
  • 102 cases of hypotonic-hyporesponsive episodes
  • 107 cases of convulsions
  • 20 cases of epilepsy
  • 98 cases of febrile convulsions
  • 33 cases of grand mal convulsions
  • 47 apnea attacks
  • 108 cases of vomiting
  • 43 cases of Gaze Palsy
  • 12 cases of anemia
  • 1 case of bone marrow failure
  • 6 cases of cardiac arrests
  • 53 cases of diarrhea
  • 593 cases of pyrexia (high temperature)
  • 22 cases of gait disturbance
  • 6 cases of anaphylaxis
  • 62 cases of pertussis (whooping cough)
  • 2 cases of meningitis pneumococcal
  • 3 cases of arthritis
  • 16 cases of muscle twitching
  • 22 cases of tremors
  • 264 cases of crying (does not indicate the severity)
  • 2 cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome
  • 10 cases of respiratory arrest
  • 7 cases of Kawasaki’s disease

All of these adverse events occurred after the child received the Infanrix Hexa vaccination, some just hours after being vaccinated. I am sure you will agree that these documented facts make extremely uncomfortable reading.”[1]

Additionally it was found that for 68 cases the vaccine did not even work to cause antibody production. There is A LOT more detail in the Vaxtruth blog posted in 2012!!! Please check it out.[1] I just wanted to highlight enough to convince anyone that there is a problem. Daily we see comments in the media, in our circle of friends or even from doctors that imply vaccines are safe. Parents deserve to know all the facts. That is what informed consent means.

You can read the confidential GlaxoSmithKline document for yourself: The authorities KNOW of the adverse events. They have known for many years. For some hard to understand reason, they continue to think that these deaths and injuries are an acceptable form of collateral towards their vaccine goals.

The document, titled Confidential To Regulatory Authorities Infanrix Hexa Summary Bridging Report [2] stated that between October 23, 2009, and October 22, 2011, GlaxoSmithKline received a total of 1,742 reports of adverse events, including 503 serious adverse events, after children had received the 6 in 1 vaccine, Infanrix Hexa.[1]

I just want to say that I DO NOT LIKE WRITING ABOUT THESE THINGS. But how can I stay silent and witness more babies dying and injured every single day because parents believe the doctors who believe those promoting vaccine myths?

The Vaccine Myth

Myths FactsPowerful forces are at work in our world to perpetuate many myths. Two thousand years ago Paul wrote a letter to a young man, Titus. He warned him of a common deficiency in human nature: those in positions of authority, but who are themselves in rebellion against God’s authority, deceive others. Paul explained that their only motive is money – the financial gain they receive from perpetuating their lies.[1]

In the United States today, if you are honest, you will admit that there is pervasive endemic culture of lying. A friend of mine has been planing and building a new home for the last few years. She moved in only to discover a host of faults. The house has mold and is causing her serious health problems. She has had multiple interactions with the builders of her brand new home only to realize their willingness to consistently lie to her. In comparing notes with others who know the building industry in her area, they realize lying has become so commonplace because it helps the builders achieve their bottom lines.

Many people depend on vaccines as a fool-proof way to protect their children and themselves from dread disease and keep them “safe and healthy,” yet they fail to realise they have fallen prey to a modern myth, the vaccine myth.

It takes time and effort to dig to find the truth. The deception has influenced policy making, media, medical training and public understanding on a grand scale. The perpetrators of the vaccine myth know there is a much greater danger of an adverse reaction after vaccines than they are willing to convey to the public. Their minds and consciences are corrupted. They twist the facts and believe their own lies.

There are good people involved in the continuation of the myth because they themselves have been deceived.

This blog post is going to highlight two important proofs exposing the vaccine myth. Firstly, the history of all illnesses reveals powerful information largely ignored. Secondly, there is incontrovertible evidence of secret meetings, plans, and tactics of those in authority to cover-up information that would have exposed the myth.

History

Many medical doctors are aware of this information, but few are willing to speak out about it. While I am encouraged that the number is growing daily, many outspoken medical voices in the past were castigated by their profession for breaking ranks with the established line regarding vaccines. Dr Jayne L. M. Donegan is one such doctor:

“Despite questioning the safety and efficacy of vaccination by reputable medical men since its introduction, debate has been, and is, increasingly silenced.”[2] Scientific studies are being designed or altered to prop up the position of those perpetuating the vaccine myth. For most doctors trained over the last 60 years vaccines are presented and accepted as an established unquestionable ‘article of faith.’

Vaccine preventable diseaseFor over half a century medical and nursing students have been trained that vaccines were the reason children and adults stopped dying from diseases for which there are vaccines. They are taught that there are two categories of historical diseases: ‘vaccinatable’ and ‘non-vaccinatable’. Both categories of disease diminished in incidence and mortality (causing death) over time, but the reasons given for this decrease depends solely on whether there was a vaccine that managed to reach the market, or not.

Diseases such as scarlet fever, rheumatic fever, typhoid fever, typhus, and cholera decreased due to better social conditions, but for all the others – the ones they managed to get a vaccine onto the market – the decrease is credited to vaccines.

Disease Chart“You would think – as medical students who are supposed to be moderately intelligent – that some of us would have asked, ‘But if deaths from these diseases decreased due to improved social conditions, mightn’t the ones for which there are vaccines also have decreased at the same time for the same reasons?’ But we didn’t.”[2]

“The medical curriculum is so overloaded with information that you just have to learn what you hear, as you hear it: ‘nonvaccinatable’ diseases into the social conditions box and ‘vaccinatable’ diseases into the vaccines box and then on to the next subject.”[2]

“Everything I was taught and read in textbooks, both before I qualified as a doctor and through all my post-graduate training, reinforced this view.”[2]

Cover-up.

There is a lot of evidence of cover-up that has become available through the freedom of information act (FOIA) and dedicated parents and scientists who refuse to be side-tracked. The following is only a brief sampling of some of the cover-ups employed to perpetuate the vaccine myth.

Firstly, there is the re-classification of the criteria to be classified as ‘polio’ by the CDC after the introduction of the polio vaccine in the 1950s and 60s in order to convey a massive reduction in polio cases, when in reality so many cases were excluded from the count that they numbers were significantly deflated.

“The definition of polio also has changed in the last six or seven years. Several diseases which were often diagnosed as polio are now classified as aseptic meningitis or Illnesses caused by one of the Coxsackie or Echo viruses. The number of polio cases in 1961 cannot accurately be compared with those in, say 1952, because the criteria for diagnosis have changed.” Chicago Tribune, March 1961[3]

Next, please read the entire Simpsonwood Transcript (200+ pages), or at least a summary of the incriminating statements made by 50+ experts including medical doctors during a secret meeting convened by the CDC in June 2000. The reason for the meeting was to discuss the troubling scientific data that had been collected and showed a “strong signal” between vaccines and later neurological damage or delays in children. These experts openly discuss the unfortunate reality and the impact it could have on their cherished vaccine program.

These specially invited guests were invited to this meeting – not with the purpose of actually questioning the status quo vaccine program, but to help the CDC figure out a plan to re-frame and hide the information discovered and explore ways to create more ‘scientific studies’ to obfuscate the known links. They discussed the role of mercury as a known neurotoxin and reveal nearly complete ignorance on the role of aluminium in harming brain function when injected. Absurdly, instead of seeking more information from experts, they blindly continue with vaccines known to contain high levels of aluminium. Their agenda was clearly NOT to protect the health and well-being of babies, except in the case of one participants recently born grandson – whom he declared would NOT be getting any vaccines until they were safer.

While there is much more evidence you can unearth on the overt attempts to perpetuate the vaccine myth over the last 100 years, the final incontrovertible evidence of cover-up on the part of vaccine promoters that I am going to present is the CDC Whistleblower, Dr William Thompson.

“That’s the deal . . ., that’s what I keep seeing again and again and again . . . where these senior people [at CDC] just do completely unethical, vile things and no one holds them accountable.”

— Dr. William Thompson to Dr. Brian Hooker in a recorded phone call, June 12, 2014[4]

Dr Thompson has made over 100,000 pages of documents available to Congressman Posey and made a public statement in which he admitted to lying and altering data in order to change the perception of vaccine safety in a study published in 2004. Dr Thompson and his colleagues at the CDC discovered through their epidemiological survey that there was an increased risk of autism under some conditions after vaccination. Instead of making this information a topic of further investigation so that children would be protected, they were told by their bosses at CDC that they needed to change the study design midstream. Under no circumstances was there to be an acknowledgement of possible vaccine harm.

CDC Whistleblower bookOver a series of many telephone conversations with Dr Brian Hooker, Dr Thompson revealed his role in this cover-up. He states clearly “My boss told me to lie. I have stopped lying. I am not going to lie anymore.” He also expressed deep remorse every time he sees an autistic young child because he knows that his actions could have contributed to the possibility that this child developed the neurological symptoms because he had been involved in a scheme to lie and cover-up known links with recommended vaccines. You can read the transcripts of the telephone conversations in this highly recommended book, Vaccine Whistleblower: Exposing Autism Research Fraud at the CDC.

This information is hard for most of us to swallow. We would rather believe the world is a safe place and the people in authority would never lie to us. It is particularly hard to believe that anyone would lie or hide evidence that would result in harm to infants and children.

I know 99% of parents would never knowingly harm their baby, yet I continue to daily receive reports of severe vaccine reactions and sometimes deaths, because parents have been lied to. I encourage everyone to dig deeper and get the facts for yourself. You don’t have to believe me. You can find the information to make an informed decision for the health and welfare of your family. Your most important responsibility as a parent is to protect your precious babies.

Keep Baby Safe

Every parent wants to protect their baby. Doctors have trusted the CDC for accurate information on the safety of vaccines. If CDC has falsified and destroyed data, they are not providing doctors with the information they need to make wise recommendations for their patients.

You can get the vaccine package inserts from the FDA for every vaccine you are considering. Please read the ingredient list, the contraindications, and the adverse reactions that have occurred in some who receive the shot. Also find the section on “Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility. XXXXXX vaccine has not been evaluated for its carcinogenic or mutagenic potentials or impairment of fertility.” This statement is on ALL package inserts and means that vaccines have not been tested to know if they can cause cancer, negatively impact genes, or impact your baby’s future fertility.

My prayer is that you and your family will enjoy vibrant health. We are bombarded with information which can make finding the truth challenging. Paul said “in Jesus Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” Pray as you research so you can make wise choices for the health of your family. The most important task for any parent is to protect their baby’s brain.

Protect Your Baby’s Brain

blue-angel full size

As a parent your number one priority is the health of your child.

As a government organization the CDCs number one priority is to maintain their vaccine schedule – at all costs. You could call this self preservation. Their careers, income, reputation and much more are at stake. To them, the lives of a few children, or the robust health of many children are not as important as maintaining their point of view, their reputation, their existence as a government organization.

These two priorities conflict. Parents desperately need the facts.

When thinking about the health of your child, the most important thing you need to consider is how best to protect your baby’s developing brain. Our world is full of toxic assaults, so we need to be as wise as possible in reducing potential harm to our children’s brains. When thinking about vaccines, your primary question should be, ‘What are the ingredients in this, and how can they impact my baby’s brain?’

I am trying to say this in a loving gentle way, as if each one of you were one of my adult children.

Many parents and grandparents ask questions along the lines of “If you had to choose just the ‘good’ vaccines which ones would you choose?” or “If I’m going to delay and just selectively give ‘some’ vaccines, which ones are really important to give?”

My question to you, is, if the mechanism of the function of vaccines is flawed, is it not flawed across the board? If the basic understanding of the immune system is flawed, if our understanding of how injecting neurotoxins and other harmful chemicals into an infant’s system is flawed, then would there be one vaccine that might be the exception?

Car Seat 2It’s like you are saying, mostly I reject ‘hocus pocus potions,’ but in the case of a couple of big bad diseases, I am sooooo terrified of them that I need to use a hocus pocus potion just for those.

Since pharmaceutical companies have no (zero, nada, nothing) liability for their vaccines, they have no incentive for improving safety and efficacy. The safety studies required for vaccines is significantly less than what is required for pharmaceutical drugs – and we all know at least some of the horror stories of drugs that were approved for use, but later recalled for the harm, or death, they caused. We have all heard of at least one of the many lawsuits and cases brought against pharmaceutical companies for one reason or another. Most of them have paid incredibly large fines for admissions of guilt. All these facts combined, yet we still trust these companies? We still support their products and believe they are only going to provide what is good for our precious babies?

When we decide to give our child a ‘delayed’ or ‘selective’ vaccine schedule, is it because, in this case, in this one instance for this one disease, I’m sure they’ve made a good product; I am sure that this vaccine I am choosing to voluntarily inject in my baby or child will safely deliver the protection I desperately seek?

Please examine the logic in this. Here are some searching questions:

  • Is this a response of overwhelming fear that has hit me as a result of the media hype, or my social circle hype? Any action prompted by fear should be carefully examined.
  • Am I basing my decision on facts and available evidence?
  • Do I understand exactly how the immune system develops? (see Dr Suzanne Humphries brilliant lectures which thoroughly examine the science of the infant’s immune development.)
  • Have I read the latest science that shows the amazing link between the gut and the brain, microorganisms and health, etc.?
  • Have I fully read every package insert for all the shots I am considering? Have I concluded that the potential benefit outweighs the risk, or am I merely going on the advice of my ‘very nice doctor‘, or a ‘very pushy’ family member?
  • Do I know all the ingredients in the shot that I am considering for my child?
  • Have I researched these ingredients and the impact they could have especially on my baby’s brain?
  • If my child were to develop the illness I fear, is there a safe, effective, non harmful treatment option?

Dr Nils Bergman, pioneer of Kangaroo Mother Care, emphasizes that the most important role of parents is to protect the brain of their baby. The parent alone is the primary steward of the infant/child brain. Your number one job is to protect your baby’s brain from all outside attack. Pregnant women spend nine months carefully protecting their unborn baby from all types of potential harm. Wise parents don’t allow a stranger to hold their baby. Someone without experience of a brand new baby often doesn’t understand the important of supporting an infant’s head and neck. That’s why we are so careful. We carefully monitor when our older children want to hold the new baby. Also, a parent would never knowingly allow anything into the mount of their baby that could harm the brain.

Parents spend hours researching car seats because they want to make sure baby’s brain will be protected in the event of a crash. Parents insist their children wear bike helmets to protect their brain while biking!

In the same way, make sure you have done a thorough job of understanding the impact of every single vaccine you think about injecting into your baby. Think especially about the impact it could have on your baby’s brain.

Is Vaccine Injury Real? A True Story

Lora's 3 Boys

This is an absolutely beautiful photo taken by a photographer mom. I was so traumatized after reading her story of vaccine injury, but THRILLED to learn of how she has learned the truth, recognized the damage the vaccines caused to her older boys, and chosen to keep her new precious son healthy without injecting him with toxins! This is a warrior momma sharing truth learned the hard way! She gave me permission to share her story in the hope that others would avoid all the trials she has gone through. Learning from experience is a good teacher, but learning from the mistakes of others – so that we can avoid those mistakes – is the best teacher.

These are my three sons, two suffered damage after being vaccinated for YEARS according to the current CDC schedule and their pediatrician’s recommendations. My eldest has experienced numerous tics* and G.I. issues. My second son, I had to stop breastfeeding at 4 months due to his serious digestive issues, so sad. He was born in December and was fully vaccinated and sick for almost a year straight. He ended up contracting whooping cough even though he was vaccinated against it…….hmmmm……vaccine failure much? He also contracted measles, but his pediatrician would not even CONSIDER he had the measles because he was vaccinated against it — this medical response is dangerous! and pure laziness! We have been working on the gut issues with diet; eating more organic, non-GMO, less pesticides and additives, less milk and more fluoride free water. Our youngest (the baby pictured above) was born peacefully at home this month, delivered by my husband and is EBF, and NO, he has not had the Hep B vaccine AND we have actually lost very close family members because of the medical decisions we are making for OUR children. It’s very sad, but we need to protect our children and keep them healthy.

When you know better you do better……..it’s not easy, but it is WORTH IT.

*Transient tic disorder…Transient tic disorder is a temporary condition in which a person makes one or many brief, repeated, movements or noises (tics). These movements or noises are involuntary (not on purpose)…….the first tic to present itself was the RAPID EYE BLINKING, this was called “normal” by his pediatrician. He said, ‘Boys are more susceptible than girls, he will most likely outgrow it,’  bla, bla, bla…….It may be the “NEW NORMAL” but it is NOT normal and it’s NOT okay! He is turning 11 this year and he STILL has not outgrown them! We thought he had Tourette’s syndrome at one point, it BREAKS MY HEART.

 

Please do your own independent research before agreeing to any medical procedure. Your baby is too precious to experiment with. These might provide more information:

Vitamin K in Brief

newborn skin to skin

Is a Newborn Deficient in Vitamin K?

Is an Injection of Vitamin K Essential?

In this 4 minute video Dr Suzanne Humphries explains why routine medical procedures recommended for newborns need to be questioned, like early cord clamping and injecting vitamin K. She shares the details of how the newborn has been designed to meet the challenges it faces in the inevitable birth trauma.

Dr Suzanne Humphries

The Vitamin K injection has been routinely given in the USA since the 1970s.

“The more I read about vitamin K, the more I can’t believe it is injected into newborn infants. Scientific endeavors have shown me that by and large, nature overall didn’t make mistakes. Until babies are 6 months old they are not having a full coagulation. Babies are programmed to be anti-inflammatory and are also programmed not to have the same coagulation as adults. “ Dr Suzanne Humphries

It is important to understand what medical interventions do at birth. The birth canal is a tight passageway; the baby’s cranium is designed to compact in on itself. There is trauma to baby throughout the body. About 30% of babies will have micro hemorrhages from a normal vaginal delivery.

Early cord clamping happens 90% of the time in the USA. When a cord is clamped early,  40% of the baby’s blood remains in the cord. This not only deprives the baby of this vital resource of blood, but it also deprives baby of the life building stem cells which are in the cord blood and have the potential to go in and clear up the brain hemorrhages and provide cell building potential elsewhere in the body. Stem cells can travel through the blood system and repair and rebuild cells – an incredible design feature of the human body.

Injecting vitamin K causes the blood to thicken. If you thicken the blood 1000 – 2000 times more than its natural newborn state, how will that impact the stem cells and their ability to go in and clear and repair cellular damages which naturally result from birth?

The original concern prompting a policy of routine administration of Vitamin K for all infants in the 1970s was intended to protect the vastly small percentage of children who might develop an inter-cranial hemorrhage that can be problematic.

It is important for parents to understand the full spectrum of information regarding vitamin K, early cord clamping, and the infants need of stem cells before accepting this routine medical intervention. No matter what decision you make, it is always a good idea for mom to consume lots of greens which contain vitamin K.

Dr Humphries’ Conclusion: “Parents need to investigate for themselves. If you do decide you need to give vitamin K, I would suggest only giving the drops.”

Interesting points about Vitamin K at birth by a thinking physician who remains anonymous: Read This

“You know what“ synthetic vitamin K” enthusiasts don’t understand? The thought that babies (and all animals for that matter) have lower levels of vitamin K at birth for a beneficial, protective, reason. I’m just going to throw these “common sense-based” thoughts out there but let’s consider them:

and BTW this goes for vitamin K drops as well as the shot.

First, in order to absorb vitamin K we have to have a functioning biliary and pancreas system. Your infant’s digestive system isn’t fully developed at birth which is why we give babies breast milk (and delay solids) until they are at least 6-months-old, and why breast milk only contains a small amount of highly absorbable vitamin K. Too much vitamin K could tax the liver and cause brain damage (among other things). As baby ages and the digestive tract, mucosal lining, gut flora, and enzyme functions develop, baby can process more vitamin K. Low levels of vitamin K at birth just…makes…sense. ???

Secondly, cord blood contains stem cells, which protect a baby against bleeding and perform all sorts of needed repairs inside an infant’s body. Here’s the kicker, in order for a baby to get this protective boost of stem cells, cord-cutting needs to be delayed and the blood needs to remain thin so stem cells can easily travel and perform their functions. Imagine that, baby has his/her own protective mechanism to prevent bleeding and repair organs…this important function of stem cells was only discovered after  the routine or giving infants vitamin K injections was well entrenched.

Third, a newborn might have low levels of vitamin K because its intestines are not yet colonized with bacteria needed to synthesize it and the “vitamin K cycle” isn’t fully functional in newborns. Does it makes sense then to bypass the gut and inject vitamin K right into the muscle? Except baby’s kidneys aren’t fully functional either. ..???

Fourth, babies are born with low levels of vitamin K compared to adults, but this level is still sufficient to prevent problems; vitamin K prophylaxis isn’t necessarily needed.

Finally, several clinical observations support the hypothesis that children have natural protective mechanisms that justify their low vitamin K levels at birth. I don’t know about you, but we should probably figure out why that is before we ‘inject now and worry about it later.’

Do you know why vitamin K is pushed on parents and their children? Because pharmaceutical companies don’t like to lose money, doctors don’t like to be questioned, the American Academy of Pediatrics dare not change its recommendations.

Since 1985, the medical profession has known that oral vitamin K raises blood levels 300 – 9,000 times higher. The injectable vitamin K, results in vitamin K levels thousands of times thicker than adult blood levels.

When baby’s blood is thickened with vitamin K stem cells have to move through sludge, not nicely greased blood vessels full of blood which can allow stem cells easy access to anywhere. Maybe one day it will dawn on the medical profession that not only are cord blood stem cells important and useful to the newborn baby, but that stem cells need to travel through thin blood for a reason.

Any fetus which experiences being wrung out like a wet towel while traveling down a narrow drain pipe, can incur damage in any part of the body, including the brain, and needs an in-built fix-it. We now realize that stem cells cross the brain blood barrier, in fact, stem cells can go … anywhere!!! Amazing don’t you think? God’s design has solutions for situational problems. Three solutions, actually. The second is the fact that naturally, in the first few days, a baby’s blood clotting factors are lower than normal.

But … pediatricians consider this a … “defect” … so they want to give vitamin K which results in blood thousands of times thicker than an adult. This vitamin K injection, so they say … (like they say immediate cord clamping is safe, and normal, and delayed cord clamping is an unproven intervention) … is because the baby wasn’t designed right, and if you don’t give a vitamin K injection, the baby “could bleed to death”.

It’s not for nothing that the vitamin K syringe, sits right alongside that cord clamp and the scissors!
But there is an unanswered question: “Why are blood clotting factors in babies low in the first few days after birth? Why has a baby got much thinner blood as a result?”

Might a logical hypothesis be that thinner blood allows freer and quicker access of cord blood stem cells to any part of the body damaged during birth? After all, why should stem cells have to fight through a baby’s blood which is now thousands of times thicker than any adult’s, courtesy of another needle?”

For further reading, I have compiled more Vitamin K resources and links.

Megan Heimer, who blogs at LivingWhole.org has insight on how baby benefits from having low levels of vitamin K at birth.

Finally, a comprehensive analysis of the Vitamin K debate [1]:

Vitamin K is found in leafy green veggies, mother’s colostrum, fermented foods, organic grass fed meats, aged (raw) cheese, egg yolks, and is made in our gut via E-coli. Vitamin K is necessary for blood clotting. Most babies cannot clot blood until about day #8, therefore conventional medical thought assumes they have insufficient Vitamin K. However, this is the way human bodies have functioned since the beginning of time. Hemorrhaging in a newborn after a normal birth is extremely rare. Plus, the lack of Vitamin K is supposed to be supplied by mother to baby via breast milk. This is the NATURAL way to fill that void. 

Colostrum has been shown to contain higher levels of Vitamin K thus early and frequent breast-feeding is highly recommended.[2]

Now let’s talk about what is given to babies at the hospital. The Vitamin K given at the hospital is synthetic vitamin K, also known as “phytonadione”. Synthetic anything is bad news because it’s difficult for the body to recognize and properly process. The dose given to your beautiful fresh baby is 20,000 times the amount needed. TWENTY THOUSAND TIMES more than what is needed. Introducing this amount to the underdeveloped immune system is DANGEROUS. The shot contains preservatives and toxins that are extremely harmful to the delicate and new immune system and it directly enters the bloodstream without being filtered through the liver. Additionally, anything that punctures the skin may lead to infection. The Vitamin K shot is fairly new, for centuries we functioned without it. Some scientists have suggest there may be a link between the synthetic vitamin K shot and childhood Leukemia.[2]

I cannot tell you what to do with your precious infant, but my personal stance is that the cons outweigh any good. As a Lactation Counselor and Breastfeeding Advocate, my advice is that you nurse your baby and eat foods naturally rich in Vitamin K both before and after delivery.

If you choose NOT to give a vitamin K shot to your baby, be prepared to be made to feel guilty and awful for not doing so. A vitamin K shot is routine in all hospitals, and many midwives, even those who do home births, continue to push the vitamin K shot. Often they provide a “Fact Sheet” on why it is needed, and try to brush off all concerns regarding the safety of this shot, as “just internet myths”.

Know your facts and be ready to defend yourself. Beware of “Fact Sheets” which push a superior attitude and extol the benefits, while ignoring the role of vitamin K, stem cells, and the role of the gut in production of vitamin K. In general these “Fact Sheets” are designed to create fear and force conformity to medically recommended procedures, not educate. Rarely will the true issues and concerns regarding the vitamin K shot be explained, i.e. synthetic injections of thousands of times more than needed, increased jaundice, blood coagulation, and stem cells. Focus on learning the benefits of thin blood and stem cells – the design is there for a reason. Find a pediatrician who will respect your decision and will be ready and available to sign your newborn’s release form upon leaving the hospital. State your desire clearly in your birth plan, in plain English.

Be prepared to protect your baby in the hospital by never allowing baby out of your sight, preferably not out of your arms. I suggest having one person (not the mother) assigned the role of “baby body guard” (BBG) to stay with baby for whatever ‘procedure’ the hospital staff might suggest they need to ‘take baby to the nursery for.’ It is imperative that the BBG be a very nice and respectful, yet extremely strong person. Hospital staff have been known to attempt many different tactics in order to give medical treatments to babies against the parents wishes. Mother may not be able to provide the protection her baby needs immediately after giving birth.

I highly recommend this article by mommypotamus which describes vitamin K, its role in coagulation, and how to make sure you and baby have safe levels of this essential nutrient.

Parenting forces us to make many difficult decisions. My goal is to provide information that will help you navigate critical parenting decisions with confidence.

The prophylactic benefits against haemorrhagic disease are unlikely to exceed the potential adverse effects from intramuscular vitamin K…”

A Tragic Loss

Dr Bradstreet AutismOne 2015I was not privileged to meet Dr Bradstreet, I have learned of him from his patients and from his highly informed talks at Autism One in May 2015.[1] I can assume his message to us might be something like this: “Be a difference maker, even if it costs you everything.” Dr Bradstreet was by no means perfect – he was a man who struggled – as we all do. Yet, he was brave in the face of adversity, he was compassionate with those overlooked by society, he demonstrated strength and hope and sought to bring healing and inspiration to many despite enormous obstacles. May his life inspire many to great levels of courage.

A Tribute to a Man Whose Work I Admire

We may not understand how and why Jeff Bradstreet died. But countless families can tell you why he lived.[2]

Dr Bradstreet didn’t claim to have the last word or know everything, but he valiantly explored and experimented with many treatment options and brought healing to many who had been given a diagnosis of ASD. He tirelessly researched ALL the science available on the topic of autism. His depth of knowledge of all the factors related to autism, and the personalized treatment protocols for individual children were epic. He was a walking PubMed reference resource. His primary goal was to understand what was going on in the body and brain of children trapped in a non-responsive body that had been discarded by mainstream practitioners. He focused on helping parents and caregivers understand that the many overwhelming behaviors displayed by their autistic child had a physical cause and when symptoms were diagnosed and treated, behavior improved.

He was thrust into the autism arena through the reality of autism he experienced with his own son. He candidly describes his journey of having a six-year-old non-verbal, self-injurious, fecal obsessed and fecal smearing son for whom no one would have given any hope of education. He relates his long journey towards healing involving many novel treatments and proudly shared the announcement that his son had just graduated from high school on 25 May 2015 at age 21 AND had been accepted to a college in Florida. Perhaps only those closely associated with a severely autistic child can understand the enormity of such an accomplishment.

The death of Dr Bradstreet is a tragic loss to all.

He was a man with answers, hope, and great insight into healing autism. He didn’t claim to have 100% cure rates and he recognized that many methods that achieved great success for some children might not work for others. Each child was unique. He possessed great optimism that he would find even more answers, better personalized healing programs and faster, more effective healing for many more families through the amazing collaborations he had going with several different partners on the cutting edge of brain research.

Dr Bradstreet demonstrated incredible love for the children and families that he served. He understood their pain because he shared it. He listened to the mothers and encouraged them to be active participants in observing the symptoms and effective treatments for their own children. He called them “Dr Mom.” He said they had earned their degree. He shared love, healing and hope with all who came into contact with him.

Dr Bradstreet wasn’t too worried about pandering to mainstream thinking. He sought effective healing modalities. He was willing to experiment and think outside the box. He sought wisdom from others and collaborated widely with great innovation. He recognized many evil forces in the world that had collided to cause severe illness to an incredible number of children – impacting the entire family. He recognized evil forces colluding in cover-up and harmful drug based treatment promotion and the acceptance of lifelong sickness and labels. He worked tirelessly against the malaise brought on families overwhelmed by the burden of severe autism. He brought restored hope for healing.

Every life cut short – especially a vital life overflowing with helping others and making the world a better place – is tragic. Sorrow is natural. As we reflect on the pain of life, God wants to use it to lead us to a better place.

“For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There is no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death.” 2 Corinthians 7:10.

Life is too short to hate or to allow bitterness to fester. Evil is real. Ignorance of the evil abounds. Our best opposition is love. We love others as we share truth – even in the face of opposition. Dr Bradstreet demonstrated this. He chose a life of honor. He sought truth. He did not seek mainstream praise and popularity. He sought justice and brought hope and healing to many.

Dr Bradstreet will be sorely missed by his family and his many patients. He will be missed by his collaborative partners with whom he designed unique healing modalities. I pray that through this tragic loss, the healing protocols he pioneered will be multiplied exponentially among those who currently suffer with any type of autism/brain injury. I pray that there will be great triumph as we remember his life and the help he brought to so many.

I pray new brave doctors will rise up to continue his bold research in autism cures.

Some Babies WILL Die

Angel BabyIt is an acknowledged fact.

Some healthy babies will die as a result of receiving vaccines.

The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) will even pay out up to $250,000 per infant death by vaccine.[1]

Every baby subjected to the CDC recommended vaccine schedule – actually any baby subjected to even just one dose of one vaccine – has the potential of death as one of the outcomes. The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-660) created the VICP, a fund based on a contribution of 75 cents from every vaccine sold, that will compensate families in the USA if they can prove that their baby’s death resulted from the vaccines.[2] So everyone who participates in the vaccine program, pays a ‘vaccine tax’ towards the inevitable injuries that WILL happen.

Vaccine injury happens.        How often?

No one really knows. Deaths related to vaccines are often denied by doctors, although some do admit vaccines as the cause. Sometimes there is an autopsy, but coroners are encouraged not to find evidence of vaccine involvement in the sudden unexplained death of a previously healthy infant in close proximity to receiving the standard recommended vaccines.[3]

While deaths have been compensated by the VICP, the medical establishment in general is taught that vaccine reactions are ‘very very rare.’ They are trained to view the reactions following a vaccine as some strange phenomenon – but probably in no way related to the vaccines the healthy baby was given. Thus most parents do not file a claim with the VICP after the death of their baby, but 1,164 claims for death and 14,874 claims for injury from vaccines have been filed.[4]

The process of receiving the $250,000 payout for a death from the fund is complex and challenging.[5] Parents who are struggling to come to terms with the sudden unexplained death of their otherwise healthy infant, with a strange correlation to the time of their shots, often do not possess the physical and emotional strength necessary to complete the cumbersome application process and a $400 payment is required up front, just to submit a claim.

Russian RoulletteSo the numbers don’t really reflect the reality.

The truth is, every vaccine given is somewhat like a game of Russian roulette. However, it is slightly different. In Russian roulette some of the barrels hold blanks. In the vaccine game, every shot holds poison. The only question is what will this dose of poison do to this baby?[6]

Leviticus 19:16 is clear,

“Do not stand idly by when your neighbor’s life is threatened. I am the Lord.”

I cannot stand idly by while vaccines are killing and harming babies. We must speak out for those who cannot speak and those who do not understand the harm inflicted by vaccines, especially the many shots recommended for babies today.

12Author: Becky Hastings, wife, mother, grandmother, passionate seeker of Jesus, truth and health. I pray that every family who has been a victim of vaccine injury and death will find hope and healing through Jesus Christ, our true hope. I further pray that all parents and doctors will wake up to the harm that vaccines have caused to far too many and that they will seek the TRUTH above all.

Known risks include, but are not limited to: a genetic predisposition based on mutation of the MTHFR gene, family history of autoimmune disorders, premature birth with other risk factors, family history of adverse events following vaccines.

I will NOT shrink back

Pinochio Told Lies

Beware of those who lie

Christians – I’ve got an important message to share with you. If you’re not a Christian, you need to know, Christians aren’t perfect. We make a lot of mistakes. One of our biggest mistakes has been putting 100% trust in the schemes of men – especially the medical schemes. Modern medicine has made some wonderful accomplishments. If you have a serious accident they do an amazing job of putting you back together. But western medicine has a rather abysmal record in helping healthy people stay healthy.

I seek to love God with all that I am. Nothing would give me greater delight than sharing the great message that Jesus came to demonstrate: God’s grace. I’ve experienced His grace personally and dramatically and seek to share all that I’ve been blessed to receive with others.

Inspired by Paul in Acts 20, I never want to shrink back from sharing this powerful truth – the same message the early followers of Jesus recorded and which has been collected into what we call the New Testament – the necessity of repenting from sin and turning to God, and having faith in Jesus.

This message has changed the entire world, has powerfully brought transformation to individual lives throughout all cultures for 2000 years, has transformed my world, and can transform yours as you fully embrace it.

In the same way, I can’t shrink back from sharing facts and evidence I have discovered in the arena of health. Jesus warned us to watch out for false prophets and deceivers, those who twist truth for their benefit and our harm (read more in these two chapters: Matthew 7 & 24). He specifically said we need to watch out for the doctrine, i.e. teaching, of the leaders (Mark 8:15). Paul, Peter and John all repeatedly warned about deceivers.[1]

Deceivers distort truth for their own gain and often cause harm to others. Nowhere is this distortion more evident than in the arena of healthcare, and particularly the realm of pregnancy, birth and neonatal care practiced by most sophisticated highly trained professionals in western countries. There is a lot of money at stake. Not every professional knowingly practices deception. Some are victims of the deception themselves. Their training has been built on a false foundation.[2]

Too many parents have learned the hard way and experienced devastating health outcomes that impact their family forever. Vaccine injury is real. Some babies die. Some are severely injured. (see further Healthy Babies Don’t Just Die, Healthy Babies Don’t Just Develop Autism, How Many Shots?, It Wasn’t the Truck, Are Non-vaccinated Kids Healthy?).

We need to seek truth in every realm of life. We need to beware of deceivers. We need to ask more questions. We need to question the answers we are given and the source of those answers. We live in a fallen world. We have a real enemy. We need to seek Jesus and the wisdom He wants to give us.

Christian doctors, grandparents, parents, and educators need to seek truth and real scientific support for every procedure they agree to for their children. We also need to be bold enough to find helpful ways to share the truth we discover with others. Our children have been entrusted to us. Jesus said we should welcome children and never harm them. The punishment is severe for those who harm children.[3]

[1] Warnings about deception and deceivers. Read the whole chapters to get more context.  Paul: 2 Thessalonians 2:11, Colossians 2:4 and 8, 2 Timothy 2:26, 1 Timothy 4:1, 2 Timothy 2:26, 2 Timothy 3:13, Galatians 1:7, Acts 20:28-30; Peter: 2 Peter 2:2-3, 2 Peter 3:16-17; John: 1 John 4:6, 2 John 7-8, Revelation 13:14; James: James 1:16.

[2] Jesus explains that the foundation of our lives is critically important in Matthew 7 “Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like the wise man who built his house on the rock. The rains came down, the streams rose, the winds blew and beat against that house, yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mind and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams  rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”
