UPDATE: An audio reading of this blog is now available on Youtube [May 2018]:

This is a really hard blog to write. I wish I didn’t have to. I wish it weren’t true. My eyes are filled with tears as I consider the reality of every word that I am going to share.

Healthy Babies Don’t Just Die,
Some Healthy Babies that get vaccinated Do

Poster Baby

This is sweet Gunner Wayne,

Born on January 14, 2014.

His life was cut short on March 13, 2014.

He received the shots recommended by the CDC and his doctor for infants his age:

  • HIB (PEDVAXHIB)
  • PEDIARIX (DTAP-HEP B-IPV)
  • PREVNAR
  • ROTATEQ 3

and was dead less than 18 hours later.

His mom, Alicia LeAnn Bohn shares her story in the hope of helping other parents avoid the pain she experienced.

He went in for shots on March 12 at 4pm and we lost him the next morning at 9:30 am.

I urge parents and new parents to be, to do your research before you inject your child with a lethal set of cocktail shots. I would give anything to have this little boy back!! RESEARCH BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!!!!

He never saw his 2 month birthday because of the 2 month recommended vaccines.

No one takes their child for shots recommended by experts in health to “protect” them from illness, expecting that their baby might DIE after receiving them.

Unfortunately is happens FAR TOO OFTEN. Exactly how often, we don’t know for many reasons:

  • Many, if not most, of these infant deaths in a normal healthy baby, soon after receiving vaccinations, are not reported to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) by their doctors.
  • VAERS actually says on their website that children are at greatest risk for certain medical adverse events including high fevers, seizures, and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) between 2 and 6 months of age, but it is just a coincidence that they happen right after receiving multiple vaccines. While VAERS encourages doctors to report all events, the underlying message is that coincidences make it difficult to know if there was any connection to a vaccine.
  • Most of the time the cause of death is listed as SIDS and not attributed to the vaccines.
  • Parents are told that their baby’s death was not caused by vaccines and it takes them time to put the events together.

In the midst of their grief the parents are denied information and support to understand the cause of death and they are not given recourse to justice for their personal tragedy, since all vaccine manufacturers are protected from any and all liability for damages their products might inflict.

Mothers are uniting in their pain to help others. They are allowing their pain to bind them together with a strong mission to protect babies. There are many Facebook Groups that have been formed with the sole purpose of sharing these stories to bless and inform new parents. https://www.facebook.com/groups/AngelBabiesKids/ now has 340 members. It is an open group made especially for “OUR” ANGEL BABIES! I encourage you to visit their page and read some of the stories of babies lost to vaccine injuries. They are real. They are tragic. These moms are amazing to share their pain despite a lot of opposition by many. I support these moms in their mission of sharing the truth.

Alicia has also shared her story on the Vaccination Information Network.

There are no words to express comfort to these parents. We can’t possibly understand the personal pain and anguish they continue to feel every single day. We can admire them and support them in their efforts to let the world know the truth about what happened to their beautiful healthy babies. We can join with them to share their stories in the hopes of helping them save other babies. Please share with your pregnant friends.

Too many vaccines too early. Please do some research before making this important medical decision. Your baby’s health and LIFE may depend on it.

Flu Shots in Pregnancy?

Posted on by
26

pregnantMany parents are experiencing a lot of confusion and stress in trying to make wise choices for their babies. There is an unbelievable amount of push for pregnant moms to get vaccines during pregnancy. This was UNHEARD until the last few years. As a breastfeeding advocate and health proponent I have tried to imagine how, when, and why there was such a big switch in policy that now ENCOURAGES all pregnant women to accept vaccines.

After tragic widespread birth defects resulting from drug use in pregnancy (one example being thalidomide), doctors became extremely cautious about recommending any drug for pregnant women.

So why did the recommendations change? Did someone study the flu shot when used by pregnant women? If you read the vaccine package insert you will find most of them state that the flu shot has never been studied for safety in pregnancy.

If you dig deeper into the statistics available you will find that there is a huge increase in miscarriage after receiving the flu shot.

Someone somewhere must have thought it was a good idea to give pregnant women “protection” from the flu. But I can’t help but wonder if this was a disinformation campaign to try and sell more flu shots, reduce the birth rate (by purposely promoting miscarriage), hide the correlation between infant vaccines and injury by injecting the moms with the toxic chemical cocktail before the baby is even born.

I guess I’ve been researching into vaccine science and vaccine safety too long and I have become cynical. Maybe there are good reasons, but for me, I’d far rather take my chances with my God given immune system, natural vitamin D, supplements of vitamin D3, and the actual flu virus, than any concoction man has put together to try and circumvent it. Vaccines are known to be unavoidably unsafe. Humans have survived for thousands of years without them. We can’t protect ourselves from every calamity in life, but I am certain I want to protect myself from the calamities caused by vaccines.

There is so much to read on the efficacy of the flu vaccine, the ingredients (including aborted human fetal cell tissue and other foreign proteins), I urge you to explore it extensively before complying with a flu shot. Ask your doctor to list the ingredients or the contra-indications, or even if they have read the package insert. Ask them who will be responsible if you have a reaction or a miscarriage.

I’ve written a brief blog with links to four great videos here. Take some time to investigate the facts and the science before you make up your mind.

Vaccines in Pregnancy? Really??

In a Nutshell

Posted on by

Calm BabyRecently there was a question, In a nutshell, why did you choose not to vaccinate?

This is a bit of my history – thirty years into this research and understanding of science:

As a brand new 22 year old mom:

My gut told me it was not a good idea to inject a baby with a lot of unknowns when I had spent 9 months protecting the same baby from harmful ingredients while cradled in my womb, and had gone to Herculean effort to birth the same baby via natural means warning off all unwanted medical intervention, commonly recommended in the hospital, in order to protect him from the impact of pain meds, anesthesia, etc.

My gut told me that my milk was designed to give my baby all the immunological ingredients he needed to be healthy and that i didn’t need injections because God didn’t make a mistake in the design of my milk for my baby’s needs.

This is my attempt to help others understand the dangers of vaccination.

Tetanus Links

Rusty nailsTetanus is one of those vaccines EVERYONE KNOWS you MUST have. But most of us have never thought about if there is scientific evidence to support this idea. We assume the doctors and scientists have all done their research and “they wouldn’t tell us to get it if it weren’t needed and weren’t good for us.”

Unfortunately, the need for pharmaceutical companies to make a profit for their shareholders, sometimes overrides their understanding and transmission of clear scientific facts. Independent research is very rare and most doctors receive their training through pharmaceutical funded medical schools. Much of what they learn is great. It’s hard to know where the true facts and where the indoctrination lie.

I remember the first time I heard someone say that EVEN TETANUS IS AN UNNECESSARY SHOT.  I was very surprised and thus began my research to find out the facts for myself.

I’m not sure how many doctors have really looked into the scientific evidence or if they just read in their textbooks and follow the protocols.

I’m certainly not trying to tell anyone what to do, but I just thought I would provide a few links so you can find more information from people a lot smarter than I am. This will also serve as a great reference for me to come and find all my tetanus info in one place!

[Edited: One very significant fact to consider about tetanus – if it were the life-saving essential vaccine that is absolutely necessary, why is it only available today (2019) in combination with diphtheria and/or pertussis? And why is there such a big push for tetanus shots when you go to the ER?]

1. An article: If you only want to read one link, this might be the one: Why You Never Need A Tetanus Vaccine, Regardless of Your Age or Location by Dave Mihalovic. This is a thoroughly documented thoughtful look at fact and fiction regarding the tetanus shot. A MUST READ for every parent by a Naturopathic Doctor who specializes in vaccine research, cancer prevention and a natural approach to treatment.

2. A Video: Great detailed information by Dr Sherri Tenpenny’s brief video. Dr Tennpenny has logged over 18,000 hours in vaccine research in addition to her medical training and experience. She is someone who reads ALL the details and explains what she learns in an understandable way. She once gave out “tetanus shots” like candy in the ER. Now she explains the science.

3. Another video: 11 minutes on Tetanus, Prevention, Wound Care and Vitamin C by Dr Suzanne Humphries. An internal medicine specialist who began to listen to her patients when they responded with vaccine injuries and has spent years of her life devoted to the truth about vaccines, illness and the route to true health.

4. A good summary with more links to explore by Guggie Daily, a blogger who provides a fresh, evidence-based perspective for today’s parents on a variety of early childhood topics.

5. An article by Tetyana Obukhanych, Ph.D. in Immunology, Tetanus Shot: How Do We Know That It Works?

8. A Naturopathic understanding and approach to treating tetanus is outlined here by Ingri Cassel, Director, Vaccination Liberation, an organization dedicated to providing truth about vaccines.

Finally, it is critically important to understand that when you or your child are offered a “tetanus” shot in an emergency room situation because of some sort of injury that has been sustained, the shot they are actually offering is not a “tetanus only” vaccine. Today tetanus vaccine is available only as a combination vaccine: either TD (with diphtheria) or DTP, TDaP or DTaP. In all cases you will be getting much more than you bargained for and every shot contains other ingredients which could cause a response or injury in your body. There is no direct compensation, from either the manufacturer or doctor who administers the shot, for any injury you may experience after receiving it. They are protected from all liability, but you can file a claim with the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program within 3 years of the injury.

Next time I have a parent desperately wanting to figure out their wisest choice regarding tetanus, I can refer them to this page! My doctor friend summed it up like this:

In a nut shell, the spore can only release toxin under anaerobic conditions. Blood and air contains oxygen, allow the wound to bleed, clean wound with hydrogen peroxide, if stitches are not required let the area heal itself. When oxygen is present no spore can survive and thus no tetanus.

This mom summed it up pretty well – and showed who actually knew and understood more about tetanus.

Number of Vaccines

Posted on by

syringeIf you have ever read the CDC recommended vaccine schedule you will notice that they recommend A LOT of shots. The schedule now available on their web-site recommends a baby to get 23 doses (mostly injections) of 46 different antigens before they reach 2 years of age.

If you follow the schedule for your baby/child you will be giving approximately 3 times the number of vaccines you might have received if you were fully vaccinated according to the accepted schedule when you were a child, or 9 times as many as your baby’s grandparents were exposed to. How did this happen? Has anyone tested what the combined impact of ALL THESE VACCINES might be?

In 1986 the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program was set up by the U.S. Government due to pharmaceutical pressure. Basically, the pharmaceutical companies told the government (CDC) that due to all the lawsuits and claims being made against them for vaccine injury and all the money they were having to pay out to claimants, they could no longer afford to manufacture the recommend childhood vaccines.

Government officials were quite distraught at the thought of just scrapping the whole vaccine program just because some children were getting significantly injured, so a plan was hatched. They might also have worried about their jobs, their reputations and the safety of vaccines, but that is pure speculation on my part. Their number one goal was to SAVE THE VACCINE PROGRAM. Amazingly, they didn’t seem to ask relevant questions like, if all these injuries are occurring, should we perhaps rather discover why and how to protect kids from whatever we are doing?

Whatever was foremost in their minds, they came up with a plan where 75 cents of the cost of every shot given would be collected and contributed towards a fund that the government could administer and can decide who to compensate for any supposed vaccine injury. This provided 100% protection from liability for all the vaccine manufacturers.

To date over 2.6 Billion dollars has been paid out, which is actually only a fraction of the claims submitted, but the process has been made complex and difficult resulting if a fraction of claimants receiving compensation.

An interesting thing happened after 1986. Due to the freedom from liability, or maybe because they got very concerned about all the illness they could prevent, suddenly vaccine manufacturers began dreaming up new vaccines that could also be given. So now, instead of just getting the standard shots to ward of diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, measles, mumps, rubella and polio, a new wave of ‘urgently needed’ vaccines appeared on the market: varicella (because Chicken Pox is and was sooooo dangerous), Hep B for newborns (because you never know when they will start having sex or using drugs and if you miss them as babies, they might miss the protection), Hib, meningitis, Rota virus, PCV 13, Hep A, Flu, HPV…

Really, typing out that last list made me start feeling physically sick. How can people do that to their children? These shots don’t just come with a little bit of the virus or bacteria in a harmless solution. There are significant hectic ingredients. There are protein cells  from the medium the ‘bugs’ were grown in (including human fetal cells), there are adjuvants to ‘make them have a bigger response’, there are antibiotics to kill the wrong bacteria that shouldn’t be growing in the shot, preservatives, aluminum, monosodium glutamate, peanut oil, formaldehyde, polysorbate 80, etc. Many of these ingredients are known neurotoxins and cross the blood brain barrier which is not fully formed until much later in childhood.

The list of ingredients for each shot is available to read, but for clarity and simplicity I decided just to list the different flu vaccines and all the ‘extra’ ingredients they contain at the bottom of this post. These ingredients are known as excipients, or inactive ingredients, but the problem is, many of these ingredients have a much more significant impact on the body than we would like to believe. The ingredient list will make it easier to pick your poison if you decide you and yours want to succumb to the marketing and pressure to get your annual flu shot.

All in all, I suggest you do a lot more research and reading before your subject your precious baby to the recommended vaccine schedule the CDC, and pediatricians who go along with the program, have in mind. Like a lot of science, it might look good on paper to help prevent all these “really terrible diseases” but the reality is that you might be destroying your child’s health long-term just to avoid illness in the short term. The combined toxicity of all those shots is a big gamble.

Grandparents often think shots are important because they gave their children shots, without realizing all the changes in the recommendations that have slipped in quietly over the years. Parents today face an avalanche of information and are often confused, but are told, ‘you got shots and you’re fine, give your kids the shots,’ yet, they too don’t realize the number of shots has risen dramatically.

How many shots can insure health for your baby?

Calling all Christians

Posted on by

Aging prayerIs it time for Christians who understand the harm caused by vaccines to band together and expose the lies and deception?

Paul had extremely harsh words for a man who was using his influence to deceive and harm ordinary people. The deceiver had a position of power. Paul was not politically correct. He did not debate. He rebuked him.

Paul, was filled with the Holy Spirit, and he looked the sorcerer in the eye. Then he said, “You son of the devil, full of every sort of deceit and fraud, and enemy of all that is good! Will you never stop perverting the true ways of God? Watch now, for the Lord has laid his hand of punishment upon you, and you will be struck blind. You will not see the sunlight for some time.” Instantly mist and darkness came over the man’s eyes, and he began groping around begging for someone to take his hand and lead him. Acts 13

As believers and followers of Jesus Christ, can we pray together against the evil being perpetuated on our children? Can we pray together that all those guilty of deceit and fraud, all who are the enemy of what is good, may be struck with blindness just as was Elymas, the false prophet and sorcerer who opposed the TRUTH presented by Paul?

If you are a Christian and still are drawn to vaccines as a helpful method of protection against illness, I urge you to fast and pray and seek guidance from the Holy Spirit, and confirmation from mature fellow Christians.

Deception is strong. We are warned repeatedly to be aware of deception. The nature of deception is that you don’t know when you are deceived.

I tell you this so that no one may deceive you with fine sounding arguments… See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy which depends on human traditions and the basic principles of this world rather than on Jesus Christ, in whom all the fullness of the Godhead dwells in bodily form. Colossians 2

I urge all those who have been participating in this harmful medical practice to repent and seek direction from Jesus on how you can turn. The financial benefits gained through injustice are not worth the lives that are being damaged.

Christians perpetuating vaccines are a stumbling block to many parents who have lost faith in God due to their child’s vaccine injury. We need to repent of this evil scourge and seek to offer them healing and hope by all means possible. We need to support them in their struggle for justice.

My heart aches for the burden of thousands of families due to the infliction of vaccine damage by the authorities who continue to ignore and cover the truth.

I think of the 5000+ families denied justice in the charade of the Omnibus Autism hearings, which was more about protecting the program than discovering the truth and helping the injured.

Let us pray together for the power of God to work and move to bring TRUTH and JUSTICE.

Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land. 2 Chron 7:14

Choosing Wisely

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

The multitude of pressure faced by a new parent:

  • my mom says she vaccinated me and it’s the right thing to do;
  • all my friends vaccinated their children and they seem ok;
  • the media keeps reminding me I’m a good parent only if I vaccinate;
  • the nurses say it’s vitally important;
  • random strangers tell me I have to do it for the sake of everyone;
  • the CDC is a huge government organization, they couldn’t be wrong;
  • my doctor says vaccines are necessary;

I’ve heard so much about the diseases. I’m afraid for what might happen if my baby caught whooping cough, or measles, or chicken pox, or mumps, or, or, or, or

What’s a parent to do?

Every single parent who has faced these pressures has had to wrestle through mounds of information to understand all the factors involved.

Does each point of view above have valid scientific support?

Does the potential of vaccine injury exist?

Why would vaccines be labeled as “unavoidably unsafe” by the U.S. Supreme Court and why is there a separate court system for compensation for vaccine injury which has paid out nearly $4 billion since 1988?

Why would this special court pay out awards to 83 cases of autism, aka brain damage, from vaccine injury, yet continue to deny a link between autism and vaccines?

Have all the the opinion givers I am exposed to read the complete information, called a ‘vaccine insert,’ produced by the manufacturer which lists ingredients, side effects and contra-indications? That should be a minimum requirement for anyone injecting vaccines.

Do they understand how every ingredient in a vaccine might impact my child’s body and brain?

Has the person doing the injecting been trained in recognizing and responding to a vaccine injury?

Will any of these people provide financial, physical or emotional support in the event that my child is severely damaged because of the vaccine?

This is an important decision that you alone will bear the weight of. Be careful who you listen to. Don’t be afraid to ask questions until you are satisfied. Don’t ever let anyone push you through fear tactics. Don’t let anyone bully you. It’s not just autism we worry about. Is vaccination going to give my child robust health? Is there a better way to health?

You can always vaccinate later. You can never UN vaccinate. Soooo many parents wish they could have the opportunity to make this decision again.

Choose wisely.

Our Microbiome

Posted on by

Scientists are only beginning to learn all the ways our Microbiome contributes to our health. The gene count of our microbial ‘guests’ outnumber our own genes 100:1! These friendly microbes help us to fight infections, rev up our immune system, and send signals to our cells.

This information was not available to those first studying infectious diseases and the early researchers in virology. Many aspects of health and illness are becoming clearer with our understanding of the HUGE role the human Microbiome plays.

Perhaps vaccines have a negative impact on the gut health leading to illness, allergies, auto-immune diseases, brain damage, etc. If scientists had the freedom to pursue science and not a predetermined political agenda, we would know more sooner. Unfortunately many consider government agencies like the CDC to be “industry hostages” where they are not free to pursue true science. They are told the results that must be obtained to continue their objectives. That is not science.

We need to learn how to boost our Microbiome if we want to experience a strong healthy immune system. Avoiding vaccines is always a good idea. Vaccines mostly enter via an injection into muscle, bypassing our immune system and do not give permeant protection. They also contain many toxic ingredients that can cause havoc to our immune response.

Voices of Reason

MicrophoneIn light of the ever increasing push in the media telling parents to vaccinate and causing them to fear so many things about childhood, here is a voice of reason.

The interesting thing about this voice is that once upon a time she did vaccinate her baby and her daughter suffered a severe vaccine injury which forced her to spend thousands of hours researching the cause and the cure. She KNOWS what she is talking about. She is not making money from your decision.

Vaccine injury can impact your life forever. Be sure you are fully informed of the risks versus potential benefits of any medical procedure you accept for your child. Don’t just follow the recommendations routinely given.

Many parents WISH they could go back and make the decision over again. Unfortunately they can’t. So they do the next best thing – they spend INCREDIBLE time and energy trying to figure out how to get the message to new unsuspecting parents. Please listen and learn through their pain.

It’s not just autism

Posted on by

Happy ChildMany people have heard so often the denials through mainstream media and ‘expert’ sources that ‘vaccines don’t cause autism’, that they assume anyone who refuses vaccines is ONLY worried about autism.

Most of those who refuse vaccines are concerned first and foremost about health and the life practices that will best support and promote health.

The children in the USA receive the highest number of vaccines in the world. No other country gives their children the number and variety of vaccines that the CDC recommends for babies and children born in the USA. Yet children living in the USA today are among the most unhealthy generation ever in this country.

Children suffer from earache, ear infections, asthma, diabetes, cancer, allergies, other auto-immune disorders, obesity, seizures, brain encephalitis, tics, learning disabilities, developmental delays, brain damage (including autism) and even death (SIDS) at unprecedented rates. The US infant mortality rate is now 23rd in the world.

What could possibly be causing our children to be so sick? There are a variety of possible explanations, but it would be foolish to categorically assume that the rate of vaccination of our children with multiple vaccines given at once and repeated multiple times before the age of two, is a totally safe procedure.

It’s not just autism those who refuse vaccines are worried about. It is the general state of health of our children and our nation. The autism rate is now estimated to be 1:28, but the obesity rate is nearly 1:2. You can search to find the statistics for many other childhood illnesses. We all know families devastated by childhood cancers, serious allergies, and sick children.

We want healthy children. Has anyone ever studied the combined impact of all the recommended vaccines on the longterm health of our most vulnerable members of society?
