Our Children, Our Future

Posted on by

Baby funny croppedOur children are absolutely our most precious possession. Not that we own them, but we have been entrusted by God with their care. Their life and health is in our hands. They are precious. We owe it to our children to get the facts about vaccines. We are bombarded by sound bites in the media. What is the truth?

Much of the information in this blog was gleaned from the powerful presentation by Dr Russell Blaylock, retired neurosurgeon, which I have included below. Dr Blaylock has dissected every bit of science related to the vaccine questions for many years and is highly qualified to describe the function of vaccines on the human body, particularly the brain. You can read his full biography.[1]

Vaccine ‘science’ that promotes vaccines to the medical community and the public is a sector based on collective lies, false data and misunderstanding. As the scientific understanding of the exact nature of the function of the immune system has developed, the early understanding of how vaccines were thought to work has been turned on its head. Enough evidence is available today to expose the entire false foundation of vaccine ‘science.’

Blow in her faceAt one time doctors recommended smoking – even for pregnant women. Advertising abounded as the media extolled the virtues of cigarettes.[3] In our lifetime we have seen medical understanding change in many different areas.

A similar phenomenon has happened in many other areas of medicine. At one time it was thought that bleeding a patient was beneficial. Leeches were sometimes used. It was the treatment that George Washington received just before his death.[2]

Today Dr Semmelweis (1818-1865) is considered the “savior of mothers” in Vienna, Austria, but he was ignored and scorned among his medical colleagues because he recommended hand washing. He observed a correlation between women who died as a result of sepsis after childbirth and the doctors and students who attended them. He deduced that not washing their hands after working on cadavers was the cause of childbed fever and showed that hand washing saves women’s lives. Today he is honored as the father of infection control and scientists recognize the clear facts and results of his scientifically valid studies, but his colleagues rejected him and his theory and he died prematurely in an insane asylum without recognition.[4]

Despite hundreds of scientific studies showing the harm caused by vaccines, the recommendations of the pro vaccine voices continue to repeat “vaccines are safe and effective.”[5]  The field of vaccine research remains sacrosanct. At the time of the widely promoted polio vaccine in the early 1960s it was recommended for children – not babies, but children – to get a total of three or four vaccines. Since then, an incredible number of  vaccines has been added to the recommended list by the CDC in a most cavalier manner. Today babies are supposed to receive their first vaccine on the first day of life, followed in quick succession by a horde of vaccines at 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 15 months.

Today the CDC and the AAP recommends, and most pediatricians adhere to 37 doses of 14 different vaccines given to all babies by 18 months. By the time they go to school they will have received a total of 50 doses.[6] The US recommends more vaccines and more doses than any other country, yet in 2009 the USA was 34th in the list of infant mortality rates. In 2014 the USA has dropped to 56th in the world. This chart compares the Infant Mortality Rate with the number of vaccines given per country.

IMR with vaccines given

Despite the repeated phrase “vaccines are safe and effective,” the CDC recommends a  vaccine schedule that HAS NEVER been tested for safety. In fact, no long-term testing has been done on ANY VACCINE. They have never been tested for carcinogenicity (i.e. if it causes cancer) or for any impact on future fertility, a fact that can be confirmed by reading the “package insert” for any vaccine.

Vaccines involve the immune system in a process that leads to compromised immunity, yet pediatricians and doctors think they “protect from infectious disease.”

Actually, vaccines can harm the immune system itself, causing a variety of life-long susceptibilities to illness. Instead of making our babies healthy, vaccines are actually making them sick. We need to realize that the early scientists developing vaccines did not understand how the immune system works and how it develops. Dr Suzanne Humphries has devoted her career to searching the science and clearly explains how parents can best their baby achieve true life-long health. [7]

An elaborate false history has been concocted to convince the public (including medical doctors and others trained in the medical field, politicians, and parents) that vaccines are safe and effective. Many involved in conveying this wrong understanding did so with the best of intentions – but that doesn’t make them any less WRONG.

Contamination is a frequent occurrence in vaccine manufacturing facilities. Most vaccines utilized today are actually manufactured in China. The labs are not physically inspected for adherence to safety standards, yet parents are repeatedly urged to trust in the safety of the vaccines.

Vaccine ‘science’ involves circular reasoning; it is a closed system which admits no fault. It goes like this…

Vaccines have saved us from millions of deaths. Vaccines are safe and effective. Vaccines have eradicated all the infectious diseases. If we stop vaccines we will have massive epidemics and many will die? Why? Because vaccines have saved us from millions of deaths

THOUSANDS of babies have adverse reactions after vaccines – including severe seizures, permanent neurological damage and even death. Vaccine manufacturers and the CDC, which makes the recommendations, have NO LIABILITY for any injury caused by any vaccine – EVER. They make and recommend a product with a great potential for harm, but bear no responsibility for the safety to recipients.  A small fraction of the vaccine injury cases have received compensation through the US National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program that has paid out nearly $4 Billion  to roughly 4,000 families.NVICP Awards Paid FY 2015

Serious vaccine injury reactions should spark the most intensive investigation by those concerned about vaccine safety, i.e. the CDC. These ‘servants of public health’ should be eager to find out HOW MANY are impacted and WHY. But those charged with vaccine safety are not interested in exploring or revealing these connections. Their primary goal seems to be the preservation of their vaccine program, and thus their jobs, careers and the entire enterprise. They churn out ‘scientific studies’ with authors who have been indicted for fraud, they falsify data, they hold secret meetings to discuss serious links between vaccines and autism with the goal of hiding the results from public knowledge, and they boldly and blatantly lie before Congressional hearings.[8][9][10][11][12]

The medical cartel zealously guards the sanctity of vaccines. Blind guides seeking babies on their altar. Many families whose child (or children) suffered severe vaccine injury remain captive to the medical system throughout the life of the child because of the damage done in the name of “protection.” These families suffer enormously. Most marriages end due to the stress of caring for a severely neurologically damaged child. These parents worry about who will care for their children after their death.

While not every child receiving vaccines will suffer severe disability, the burden of vaccine injury impacts all of society. It is time for everyone to become fully informed on how the immune system functions and exactly HOW vaccines harm a child’s brain development.

Could our world and the health of our children be BETTER WITHOUT vaccines?

The Shocking Truth about aborted human fetal cells in vaccines

Posted on by

Aborted Fetal Cells

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

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

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

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

Is there an impact on health?

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

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

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

Fetal cells Vaccines

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

8 Questions to handle a Pro Vax Assault

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

#2 Name three ingredients in vaccines

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Related question – How many vaccines are currently in production?

Answer – ±270 new vaccines at this time.

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

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

#7 Who is Dr Paul Offit?

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

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

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

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

If you would like to learn more about aluminum in vaccines, this 30 minute video by Dr Suzanne Humphries is extremely well researched and provides vital clarity.

Dr Andrew Wakefield – Villain or Hero?

Posted on by

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

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

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

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

Did you know:

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

13 Reasons Why Parents Resist Vaccines

Posted on by
Reply

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERATo begin with let’s back up a little. What is the purpose of a doctor and medicine in its purest form?  Is it not for the sick, the injured, or those who failed to exercise prevention?

Because medical personnel are trained to treat the sick, the wounded, and the seriously ill, their treatments carry some risk. They need to be highly trained individuals. They must carry heavy insurance policies. The thick manuals in their offices tell about the risks, interactions and side effects of medications and procedures. Obviously, the world of medicine can provide some amazing services that we cannot be without, but with that comes at least some risk.

DangerPrevention should generally not involve anything with a known risk factor. Thus you cannot truly mix “medical” and “prevention” since medical involves risk.

Under the guise of “prevention,” vaccines are given to the well, to babies whose health conditions are unknown, and to anyone who will submit. Vaccines are “unavoidably unsafe.” Congress and the Supreme Court have agreed on this. So why would a parent use a vaccine as a prevention when the vaccine is “unavoidably unsafe”? If you want prevention look elsewhere.

Anyone who has read the ingredient list of vaccines would have to say they carry risk at a bare minimum. The definition of poison is “a substance that in small amounts can cause illness or death.” No one person on earth knows the tolerance level for poison  (or risk) for another human being. It is truly a shot in the dark.

So here are some thoughts on why a parent would refuse:

1. A parent can study risk vs. benefit. If there is risk in trying to prevent something my child may never have I cannot take that risk. Poison is a risk. Heavy metals are a risk. Viruses from cell lines of guinea pigs, dog kidneys and aborted fetuses injected into my child’s bloodstream? That’s risk.
2. A parent can get information. One can go online and read the package insert for every vaccine. Some are over 20 pages long.
3. A parent is suspicious. If vaccines are so safe why does the government pay out millions of dollars to parents whose kids have been damaged permanently or who have died? And why is it so hard to get that money? Is the government really reliable in looking out for the best interests of my child?
4. A parent can observe. Look at all the sicknesses going around … all the asthma, allergies, diabetes, obesity, autism, cancer, behavioral disorders and more. Real life trumps data every single time. School nurses are busy all day long, children’s hospitals are full and pediatric specialists of every stripe have waiting lists.
5. A parent knows that you can follow the money. Why is there such adamant defense of vaccines and no double-blind studies? Why does the government protect the vaccine manufacturer? Why are vaccines tied to the stock market? Why does the media protect the whistleblowers in the industry?
6. A parent can ask questions. If vaccines are so safe why are immune compromised children not vaccinated? Why is there a Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System?
7. A parent can use logic. If the vaccines are so wonderful why are they promoting herd immunity? Is it possible that some parents were willing to have their children injected with questionable and risky substances and still not be confident of protection from the disease?
8. A parent is reasonable. They know that measles and mumps and chickenpox are not life threatening … that childhood illnesses are okay and can build an immune system. Staying home and going to bed is not an impossibility.
Baby Dad silhouette9. A parent can find other ways for true prevention and cures. The doctor is for the sick not the well.
10. A parent is responsible to defend his own. He is not responsible for all the children in the world. He may even know that it is the vaccinated children who are spreading disease and putting his child at risk. The public health officials know.
11. A parent has seen the TV ads. Through this medium they know that big Pharma is willing to sacrifice health and lives for the sake of profit and that these same companies make the vaccines.
12. A parent has intuition. Parents can listen to their intuition … why do they hate taking their kids for vaccines? If it was so healthy and risk free it should be a joyful excursion. Unfortunately marketing often overrides a parent’s inner voice and promotes fear.
13. A parent may finally realize that true prevention involves (in part) avoiding vaccines!

Last week my grandson was unresponsive in ICU for three days from a vaccine reaction … a vaccine his parents did not want him to have. Once again real life trumps data. Instead of defending those who can defend themselves (big Pharma), let us listen to the mothers who weep over their once healthy children.

HPV & Me

Posted on by

Happy ChildIs a HPV vaccine a good idea for me?

One doctor’s opinion after her detailed analysis of all the facts and science:

Giving HPV vaccines to 9 year olds is a true crime. I have personally witnessed numerous cases of highly successful students who get the vaccine and go down hill so fast, and you can’t get them back. I’d rather work with cancer cases. They are easier to cure. Dr Suzanne Humphries

I was going to write a post with all the questions a mom and teens have about HPV, Gardasil and Cervarix* and cervical cancer, complete with the well-researched answers. There is a lot of misinformation that abounds. There is also a HUGE multi million-dollar campaign to push you to get this shot. It is promoted extensively and often directly to teens, as a cure for cancer.

I wrote the list of questions, but realized most of the information has already been made available. So I offer the questions with links to show you where you can get the answers. I highly recommend the videos produced by The Truth About Gardasil which supplies detailed scientific information and explanations.

I decided to go ahead with just my list of very important questions for any parent and any teen or pre-teen who is thinking about getting this series of shots in the hopes of avoiding cancer. Please take some time to review actual stories of the serious injury that has resulted from this shot.

  1. What is HPV or human papillomavirus?
  2. Does HPV cause cancer?
  3. Who is most at risk?
  4. What is the HPV vaccine?
  5. Why is my school, my doctor, my government recommending this shot for me?
  6. How long has this shot been available?
  7. How does this shot prevent cancer?
  8. What is cancer?
  9. What causes cancer?
  10. What happens when you get the HPV or Gardasil vaccine?
  11. How does the HPV shot impact my body?
  12. What ingredients are in the Gardasil shot?
  13. Have there been any problems with these shots?
  14. Why are promoters of the vaccine targeting me and telling me I need to get this shot?
  15. How and where is this shot made?
  16. How was this shot tested for safety?
  17. What are the listed side effects admitted by the manufacturer for this shot?
  18. Who is most at risk for developing cervical cancer and are there safer ways of avoiding and preventing it?
  19. Just for kicks, how much is Merck making from their sales of Gardasil?

An honest look at the research and information available on HPV and Gardasil will give you confidence in your choice.

I was significantly surprised to learn of the high cost of this shot for those who have to pay for it out-of-pocket. I realize in some countries the government might be giving it for free, but there is still a cost, and it is in the region of $130 per dose, for a total of nearly $400.

Additionally, the manufacturer, the doctor, the government or anyone who has recommended that you receive these shots are 100% shielded from any and all liability if you happen to fall into the growing number of those having significant adverse events or vaccine injury. Due to the passing of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 even those vaccines are deemed “unavoidably unsafe” no manufacturer or anyone involved in the distribution of the vaccine can be directly held liable for injury or death.

You will find the answers to many of these questions here:

Emily Reid kindly shared this information with me: I have seen first hand the effects of the HPV vaccine. 2 teenage girls (with their concerned mums) having nervous system disfunction weeks after this shot. They came to our clinic as their GP had dismissed their symptoms as just ‘nervous stress from school…and in no way related to their vaccine .’…The HPV vaccine has higher levels of aluminium than most other vaccines and coincidently (or rather not!) has a disturbingly high level of side effects and connected reactions including permanent paralysis and death which have been recorded in the US.

See this article: When Vaccine Ingredients Cross the Blood Brain Barrier – A Formula for Disaster:

“As of June, 2013, 30,352 adverse reactions to HPV vaccines Gardasil and Cervarix have been reported to VAERS, the U.S. vaccine adverse events reporting system. Adverse reactions include 10,557 ER visits, 6,032 who failed to recover, 952 disabled, 64 cases of cervical cancer and 140 deaths. Consider this the tip of the iceberg as only 1 to 10% of vaccine reactions and injuries are reported to the U.S. government data base.”

Don’t Accept Sickness

Posted on by

so cute!How do we stay healthy in our sin sick world?

Christians understand the cause of sin in the world. What we don’t often connect is the role of sickness. It seems every day I hear about some Christian who is sick, or their kids are sick, so they can’t attend something or they are asking for prayer. Everyone knows someone recently diagnosed with a life-threatening condition like cancer, diabetes, etc. And we commonly hear people describing everything from ulcers to rare and serious auto-immune disorders.

I would like to boldly propose that sickness does not have to be your normal experience. We will all die one day – we know that. But we don’t have to live out our life in sickness until that day comes. We don’t have to expect a complete decline of health as part and parcel of the aging process. While there may be a few things outside of our ability to control, like our parents and where and how we spent our childhood, there are many ways we influence our health, or lack of it, every day.

God wants His people to be robustly strong and healthy. We are fighting a spiritual battle and we need to be armed, strong and ready. Our enemy is real and is trying to deceive us in every sphere of life.

As Christians we need to keep in mind two principles which provide the means to conquer sickness.

Firstly, we need to understand the power of the resurrected Jesus Christ to heal our bodies. Many Christians today have trouble believing in Jesus’ healing power for today and will give many explanations on why we don’t see healing happening around us. I choose to believe in the power of God vibrantly alive and well today just as it was when Jesus walked on earth and when the early disciples travelled around sharing the news of Jesus’ resurrection and the hope of eternal life accompanied by the power to heal the sick. Today, Jesus uses many means to bring healing, light and life in the midst of our dark world.

Secondly, we need common sense. If we see animals drinking from a dirty water hole and we know it is being fed from a toxic source up-stream, then we notice the same animals getting sick, we conclude the water is causing the problem and we figure out a way to give the animals better water and prevent the animals from drinking the polluted water.

Cows waterOur country, and world, is filled with sick people, who continue to drink from polluted water and wonder why there is so much sickness and disease among them. This is true in the most wealthy populations as well as among the poor – it crosses all socio-economic classifications.

We are doing something wrong. The source of our food, water and medical treatment is making us sick.

My heart is grieved every time I hear about a new diagnosis of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis or other chronic debilitating condition. It is especially troubling to hear of these illnesses in children. So many Christians think a yearly bout with flu is normal, aging brings dementia and ill-health, and having several colds or ‘tummy bugs’  per year is normal. Basically, we are all just victims in this sin sick world.

Not true. I believe our life-style, habits, and our go-to medical care choices are causing our illness. It is not our portion to be sick. We are choosing sickness when we ignore God’s natural laws and pollute our body with toxic food, water and drugs. When we get symptoms, we pollute our body even more with more drugs or over-the-counter medications because we want a simple quick fix. We don’t want to have to change anything or do a serious analysis and assessment of the polluted water we are daily drinking from. We want to continue everything we’ve always done – we don’t want to change water holes. It is too much work; too much trouble.

I want to encourage you that it doesn’t have to be that hard, and that the wellness that results is MORE than worth any effort it may take to choose the ‘clean water source’ and shut down the ‘toxic watering hole.’

Pray for wisdom. Your heavenly Father knows exactly what you need and He desires for you to take some time to seek His answers. He can guide you to sources of wisdom as you begin to apply common sense.

Many wise people have been on the road before you. They are eager to share the natural ways God has used to cure them from many serious illnesses.

Don’t settle for the sickness system. Don’t reach for the quick fix or take the course chosen by other sick people.

Begin a journey to a healthier future. It is never too late to stop drinking from the poisoned watering hole. You will feel much better when you seek the life-giving water Jesus guides you to.

Christians,

Have we made an idol of Western Medicine?

Do we seek God’s solution to our sickness or rush to our doctor for his diagnosis of our symptoms and embrace the usual drug oriented treatment?

 

Natural ways to boost your immune system

 

How Safe is Acetaminophen?

Posted on by

PillsMost of my life I thought acetaminophen was a rather harmless pain reliever. We grow to accept something that we hear advertisements about since forever. Turns out, acetaminophen could be causing havoc with babies – and can harm people of all ages.

Please read the research before you take any drug when pregnant, or before giving any drug to a baby. Acetaminophen included.

Shiny BrainAcetaminophen should NEVER be given after a vaccine. It can cause a synergistic effect with the chemicals in the vaccine which can result in significant harm to baby’s brain.

Why is so little known or discussed about this? That is a great question. If you want to learn more about Acetaminophen here is a collection of articles to help you.

Acetaminophen (Tylenol) linked to Autism?

Acetaminophen (paracetamol) use, measles-mumps-rubella vaccination, and autistic disorder: the results of a parent survey. 

A study on Acetaminophen use and the MMR vaccine published in 2008 in Autism journal.  This preliminary study found that acetaminophen use after measles-mumps-rubella vaccination was associated with autistic disorder.

Acetaminophen and/or antibiotic use in early life and the development of childhood allergic diseases.

A study published in the International Journal of Epidemiology.

“Acetaminophen Use and the Symptoms of Asthma, Allergic Rhinitis and Eczema in Children “

Iranian Journal of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology 2006.

“Our findings suggest that taking more acetaminophen may be associated with increasing allergic symptoms in children.”

Prenatal Acetaminophen Linked to Behavioral Problems in Kids,

“Prenatal exposure to acetaminophen ― a drug considered safe in pregnancy ― may raise the risk for behavioral problems in children, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and hyperkinetic disorder (HKD), a severe form of ADHD, new research suggests.”

Acetaminophen Use During Pregnancy, Behavioral Problems, and Hyperkinetic Disorders 

Published in JAMA Pediatrics in 2014.

“Maternal acetaminophen use during pregnancy is associated with a higher risk for HKDs and ADHD-like behaviors in children. Because the exposure and outcome are frequent, these results are of public health relevance but further investigations are needed.”

Evidence that Increased Acetaminophen use in Genetically Vulnerable Children Appears to be a Major Cause of the Epidemics of Autism, Attention Deficit with Hyperactivity, and Asthma

Journal of Restorative Medicine, 2013.

“It appears that the marked increase in the rate of autism, asthma, and attention deficit with hyperactivity throughout much of the world may be largely caused by the marked increase in the use of acetaminophen in genetically and/or metabolically susceptible children, and the use of acetaminophen by pregnant women. Toxicity of acetaminophen may cause autism by overloading the defective sulfating pathway…”

Did Acetaminophen provoke the Autism epidemic? by Peter Good. Published in the Alternative Medicine Review. A 9 page article which states:

Acetaminophen taken during pregnancy may provoke autism present at birth; acetaminophen given after birth (e.g., for vaccine reactions) may provoke autistic regression.

Please share any links you have that help give more understanding to the harmful potential of Acetaminophen.

 

Handling Pro Vaccine Pressure

Posted on by

Conflict stick figuresNo doubt, making medical decisions is one of the most important things we can do as new parents. AND we are often bombarded by advice.

Advice from total strangers, advice from mainstream media, advice from friends, advice from medical professionals whom we want to trust, etc. Probably the most challenging advice to deal with is the advice that keeps getting repeated to us from those we are sure LOVE and care for our children as much as we do: our family. Our family can try many different tactics to “help us understand the danger we are exposing our child to by refusing vaccines.” They truly think we have been influenced by crazy people and are on the verge of becoming crazy ourselves.

The thing is, they CARE. They truly wish no harm to come to our children. They are fully confident that all the information coming from the CDC and our really really nice doctor, is 100% reliable. They believe that vaccines are safe and effective and if we would just give them to our babies, we will all live happily ever after.

You might have done your research when pregnant. You’ve spent hours combing the science and the opinions about vaccines. You feel strong and confident in your decision to avoid or delay vaccines most of the time, but other times the pressure from family starts to get to you. You begin to questions yourself. How could sooooo many people be wrong? How could my own family be wrong?

Before you completely cave in to the pressure from family who are saying things like ‘We all vaccinated and we don’t have any problems’ or ‘Why do you want your baby to die from a disease that could have been avoided?’, etc, please at least do a couple of things:

1. Build your own confidence in your own thinking skills:

“The Professor” is particularly brilliant and has an understanding of science far beyond mine. She also has experience working in a scientific field and unfortunately, due to her child’s vaccine injury she has been forced to become an expert on all aspects of vaccine science. She has some great insight into why there is so much debate and why scientists disagree so strongly on the topic.

Moral of the story? There are lots of ways you can dampen a strong signal if that’s what you’re trying to do. And if you read the available “vaccine science,” you will get a crash course in them. When analyzing the science, you need to ask yourself the all-important question, “Is this study designed in the best possible way to reveal a ‘signal’ if there is one?” And if not, why not? Often you will find when it comes to “vaccine science,” like its correlate “tobacco science,” that not only is the answer to the first question no, the study has actually been designed in the worst possible way to reveal a ‘signal.” Why are these studies so badly designed? Can it be that no one at the CDC understands science or even logic? Hardly. The real answer is painfully obvious: a study designed in the worst possible way to reveal a signal, is often the one designed the best possible way to hide one.
  • Continue looking for valid scientific support for your decision to boost your confidence. Read vaccine inserts and look for true scientific sources. Dr Sheri Tenpenny has many great videos which provide detailed information from CDC and all published scientific literature. She is a trained and experienced medical doctor and has personally devoted over 18,000 hours to understanding the subject of vaccines.
    • Are Vaccines Really Safe? A 5 minute video for a quick overview of some very important questions regarding the safety of vaccines for newborns. She also touches on routine Vitamin K shots and Hepatitis B shots for infants in the first hours of life.
    • Vaccine Safety. A 15 minute video which takes a quick look at the issue of vaccine safety. What does it actually mean when a vaccine is said to be “safe and effective”?
    • The Risks, the Benefits, the Choices. A nearly 3 hour video in which Dr Tenpenny focuses on the individual vaccines and the illnesses for which they are purported to protect, using conventional medical journals. This is a comprehensive overview guiding you step by step through vaccination history, conflicts of interest and the lack of scientific data to support the current vaccine protocol. Dr. Tenpenny clearly communicates detailed science in a way parents can understand.
    • Vaccines, What the CDC Documents and Science Reveal by Dr Sherri Tenpenny 2003 part 1 of 2). This 1 Hour video published to YouTube on 14 May 2013 is an essential presentation for all those looking for scientific evidence to support their investigation into vaccine questions. Dr Tenpenny is very familiar with every single medical paper published in journals on the topic of vaccines and with all the CDC documentation. She calmly and rationally explains what she has learned over years of research into the science behind the vaccine debate. She goes through each vaccine recommended, gives the history and explains the science involved.
    • What the CDC Documents and Science Reveal 2003 part 2 of 2. This continuation starts with hepatitis B and continues through Chicken Pox.
  • Read Navigating the Information, a post I wrote to help you think through some important questions regarding vaccine safety and science.

2. Establish Boundaries by graciously asking some significant questions to those well-meaning family members. Be prepared to challenge them with an approach something like this next time they bring up the topic of vaccines:

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power (Ephesians 6). Lies and delusion are powerful. The battle for truth is a spiritual battle. People might have the best of intentions but are completely deceived by other ‘professionals’ who are themselves completely deceived (Colossians 2). When you have believed lies for decades it can take time to realize the truth. Allow the Spirit of God to guide you into all truth and have confidence in how He does so. God did not give us a spirit that makes us a slave to fear (Romans 8:15; . He wants to bring light and life to every subject. In Jesus are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Colossians 2). The early disciples were brilliant beyond their education because they had spent time with Jesus. You too can become confident and bold as you prioritize spending time with Jesus and building your faith.

Vaccine wars in families are usually not fun. It can be difficult navigating loving those who care about us and standing strong in the truth we have come to know. I pray these thoughts will be helpful if you are experiencing conflict in your family regarding vaccines. And don’t forget to pray.

I would love to pray with you. The truth needs to make headway in our crazy world.
