Ginger Ade/ Tiger Water Demonstration

Meet my friend Danielle who started a Youtube channel about her homesteading because she needed another thing to add to her long list of accomplishments on her homestead: Chickens, beekeeping, goats, a greenhouse in the making, fruit orchard, growing veggies… all while providing loving childcare to a friend’s baby everyday, and volunteering at a few different organizations!

Ginger Ade (AKA Tiger Juice)

Ever need a special ‘punch’ or drink for a party? While we might think we need to stop at the grocery store and buy a juice or a jug of something to serve to our guests, here is another option.

Recently our youngest daughter and I hosted a baby shower ‘tea party’ for our older daughter who is expecting her second baby. Since it’s always nice to have a cold drink to offer in addition to the hot tea, I thought about what options I had in my kitchen. Last minute is often when I get my best ideas, and the result was enjoyed so much that I received many requests for the ‘recipe’. I didn’t really follow any recipe but combined ideas I’ve learned over the years*. Here is what I did, with a few suggestions for variations.

Basically, you are making a ‘tea’ with fresh ginger and jalapeño. You can make it strong, sweeten it with honey, and dilute it to taste.

  • 1 inch fresh ginger grated. Vary the amount according to your palate. More ginger will equal more ‘burn’.
  • Several slices of jalapeño or other hot peppers (OPTIONAL, but has great health benefits!). Test your pepper for the hotness level. You can use more slices of a mild jalapeño. Adjust based on how ‘hot’ you or your guests can handle!
  • Filtered water
  • local honey (add as your tea is cooling)
  • fresh squeezed juice of one lemon, lime, or orange (optional, add to cooled tea to give a natural vitamin C boost)

Combine ginger, peppers, and water to nearly fill a sauce pan. Glass is best. Stainless steel next best. You can also use a slow cooker if you have the time. Adjust the quantity of ginger to the size of your pot and the amount you are making.

Bring to a gentle boil, cover, and allow to simmer for at least 1/2 hour (can go for an hour in the saucepan, or use a slow cooker for a few hours, or overnight).

Allow to cool. While cooling, pour through a filter to strain out the ginger pieces. Alternatively, if you aren’t in a hurry, you can blend the mixture, and then pour into the strainer, using a rubber spatula to push the mass through it. I think I prefer blending – it feels like you get more ‘good stuff’ that way.

Add honey to taste. Stir. Add a lot of ice (made with filtered water). The ice will not only cool it, but will also serve to dilute it. Add more water as desired.

Ginger could be the best “flu shot” EVER!

Why Ginger? A quick internet search reveals many fabulous benefits of ginger:

  • powerful antibiotic properties and is able to effectively target some ‘antibiotic resistant strains’
  • calms nausea
  • soothes sore muscles
  • eases arthritis symptoms
  • curbs cancer growth
  • lowers blood sugar and may help with weight loss
  • eases menstrual period pain
  • boosts bone health
  • strengthens the immune system
  • may help lower cholesterol
  • may help improve brain function and protect against Alzheimer’s disease

Gingerol is the main bioactive compound in ginger and is responsible for much of ginger’s medicinal properties. Gingerol has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

Ginger has long been used as a natural remedy to fight various ailments. Now, new research is showing that ginger may also be effective in fighting harmful bacteria and viruses.

A recent study found that ginger extract was able to kill several types of bacteria, including some that are resistant to antibiotics. The study’s authors believe that the compound responsible for this effect is gingerol, which has potent antibacterial and antiviral properties.

…Modern science is now discovering that this humble root may have powerful anti-cancer properties. One study found that ginger contains over 40 antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds. These substances work together to inhibit the growth of cancer cells and stop them from spreading.

Note to self: Make Ginger Ade more often!

Fever – Don’t Fear

Most parents in the west have been led to believe that a fever is bad and when a baby or child gets a fever, there are appropriate ‘baby’ fever reducers that should be given. New parents are advised by doctors and nurses on how and when to give over the counter (OTC) pharmaceuticals to babies for a variety of reasons. Many parents feel that if they do NOT give their baby these ‘baby’ pharmaceutical products widely available at grocery stores and pharmacies, they are not ‘good’ parents. Because the medical profession has not understood the value of a fever, many parents have been led down a path that they didn’t expect – sometimes including longterm chronic illness.

What is fever? What is the appropriate loving response for a parent when their baby or child develops a fever?

“Giving Tylenol to a babe for fever is equivalent to shooting your own attack dog when he’s going after a home intruder! Fevers are important.”

Dr Larry Palevsky is a NYS licensed pediatrician, who utilizes a holistic approach to children’s wellness and illness. He has been promoting health naturally for decades and has discovered valuable information that he passes on to parents. The following points about fever are from his website, where you will find even more detailed explanation of the beneficial role of fever in childhood.

GENERAL GUIDANCE IF YOUR CHILD IS SICK: “Do less. Stimulate less. Speak less. Eat less.” “Drink more. Sleep more. Rest more. Breathe more.”

  1. Stop your daily routine and encourage your child, and your family members, to rest.
  2. Provide a safe and comfortable environment for your child to process the illness.
  3. Encourage plenty of fluids (water, tea, broth, soup, breast milk). If your child is on formula, you may need to either stop the formula completely, or feed fewer ounces through the illness.
  4. Turn the volume down. Reduce activity levels, noise, excitement, schedules, chores, and tasks to a minimum.
  5. Turn the lights down. Maintain a calm, quiet, peaceful environment for your child’s nervous system to heal.
  6. Stay indoors; play quiet games. Going outside can be too much of an energetic overload for your child’s body when sick, and may prolong and intensify the stress on his body.
  7. Give your child a warm bath, several times per day if necessary, and stay with your child as much as possible. Lay low, and watch your child closely. Be mindful of cool or cold drafts when getting out of the bath.
  8. Regarding supplements, it is best to stop most, if not all of the supplements that your child is taking. You will need to use your judgment in making this decision.
  9. Do not force your child to eat. When children are sick or not feeling well, their digestive systems slow down. Food is one of the last things children are interested in when they have a fever or don’t feel well. Just ensure fluid intake, and don’t push foods. Their bodies will tell you when they are ready to start eating again. And, most importantly, avoid sugar, including juices, flour and dairy products, and fried foods, when your child is sick, as these foods tend to increase stress, dehydration, and mucus production in the body, which will prolong, or worsen, the course of illness.
  10. Observe your child for mental status changes.
  11. Please remember that the resolution of illness can take some time. The more patience you have, the more closely you observe your child, and the more you efficiently remove the stressors in your child’s environments, the greater you will impact the length of recovery for your child’s illness.
  12. You may need to cancel plans, stay home, and not participate in previously planned activities so your child can rest and heal at home in her own comfortable, safe environment. The most important thing you can do as a parent is to provide your child with a safe environment in which healing can occur.
  13. Make the first day your child feels better a slow day. Stay home and rest for the first 24 hours that the symptoms of illness have finally abated. Try not to rush back into the daily routine of life.

Re: Acute Illness: Dr. Palevsky often remarks that “children need to be allowed to experience symptoms of acute illness in order for their bodies to appropriately cleanse the waste and toxins from their systems, and so they can go forward in their lives toward greater optimal health and wellness.” Rarely does Dr. Palevsky ever need to prescribe antibiotics for children in his practice. On average, he writes one antibiotic prescription per year. This is because he has come to understand that most illnesses in children are not caused by infections, and therefore, don’t require antibiotic treatment. Dr. Palevsky recommends that parents read this section of his website in great detail so that they can better understand and address any perceived challenges to their children’s health.

Dr Palevsky has a lot of experience and includes much more helpful information on the details of the body’s detox process on his website, including information on ear pain, coughs, diarrhea and vomiting. Many parents find it difficult to act against their strong programming of “avoiding a fever at all costs”. They may feel that their child is suffering and all they want to do is give them some relief. However, the short term difficulty of a fever will build long term health. Taking a short cut – by giving fever reducers – is actually going to adversely impact long term health. The action of Tylenol reduces glutathione in the body – an important anti-oxidant containing three amino acids that helps in the detox process. Giving Tylenol (aka acetaminophen, Paracetamol, Panadol) can result in your child being sick for longer, as well as other harmful impacts that parents are seldom warned about:

Estimates suggest 90% of infants are given Tylenol (aka acetaminophen). Pregnant women are encouraged that Tylenol is safe to take during pregnancy. Yet, there has been virtually no thorough investigation of the neurological consequences. There are 16 human studies which suggest brain developmental harm from use in pregnancy. Read more of the potential harm from this commonly used OTC treatment.

https://journeyboost.com/2020/01/22/tylenol-and-asd-adhd-were-you-warned/

I believe 99% of all parents ONLY want what is best for their children. Navigating the information and discerning what is truly best is not always easy. There are many forces competing for our attention, allegiance, and money. Every parent will benefit from tuning into their gut instincts, seeking God’s wisdom, and asking a lot of questions. Most of us were not trained in critical thinking skills in our ‘education’ and have been subjected to a lot of marketing and propaganda pushed on us as “health information.”

A wise person said, critical thinking is all about believing more true things and believing less untrue things. We will spend the rest of our lives honing these skills!

I’d love to hear your personal experience of nursing a child through fever. I’ve watched both my five children, and our nine grandchildren receive a lot of TLC when sick and bounce back quickly from most illnesses. Fever reducing meds were never a part of my home first aid kit!

Easy Healthy Waffles or Pancakes!

In 1982 I met mom who had her 10th baby around the same time as I had our first! She shared with me a wonderfully easy way to turn whole wheat berries into delicious healthy waffles or pancakes. You can make the batter in about 10 minutes and deliver a healthy meal or snack! I’ve been making these for four decades modifying the original recipe in a variety of ways!

Flour is made by grinding wheat berries. White flour is sifted. The nutritional value of the wheat is at its maximum just after milling, and decreases over time. Fresh ground flour has the highest nutritional value. This recipe uses the entire wheat berry, and instantly grinds it into flour in your blender giving you the maximum nutritional benefit. Wheat berries can be found where other whole ‘healthy’ dried grains are sold and come in two varieties: hard (mostly for bread) or soft (better for pastries). You can use either for this recipe, but soft is preferred. You can also use Einkhorn or other ancient grains if you can find them. Organic is best.

  • 1 Cup wheat berries.
  • 1 Cup milk, sour milk or kefir. You can also use water without too much difference in the result. The dairy option will provide more nutrition.

Blend the wheat berries and liquid in a blender. Start on low speed and depending on the power of your blender, blend for about 3 minutes. A Vitamix on high speed can be faster. The goal is to have a smooth non gritty texture!

  • Add 1/4-1/3 more milk to get the mixture extremely smooth.
  • 1/2-1 apple. (optional addition) Cut the apple into pieces and add to the blender as it is running.
  • 1/4-1/2 cup of oats. Add while blender is running.
  • 3 – 6 eggs. The more eggs, the higher protein. Use less if you’re about to run out of eggs! Less eggs may require more liquid.
  • 4 teaspoons of baking powder.
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla (optional)
  • +/- 2 Tablespoons of softened butter or coconut oil

Blend until everything is mixed. If the mixture is too thick to blend, add more milk (or liquid). If the mixture seems too runny, add more oats. Waffle batter may need to be slightly thicker.

Pour onto hot skillet for pancakes or into hot waffle maker. Serve with butter, syrup, berries, fruit, yogurt, cheese, jam, or anything you like! I always like to add a bit of lemon juice and cinnamon.

The batter can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Waffles or pancakes can be stored in a zip lock bag in the freezer for future quick easy snacks.

Enjoy!

4 Minute Boost

Give yourself a gift for Christmas: make a commitment to do something quick, easy, fun and VERY BENEFICIAL for yourself ALL YEAR LONG!

Introducing the 4 minute nitric oxide boost exercise workout: 4 exercises, performed with precision 10 times each in sequence, repeat the sequence 3 times, while breathing through your nose. Over time you can increase the pace and increase the number of reps. I’ve been doing this for several years and now do 20 reps repeated 4 times – but I didn’t start there.

This workout is HIIT (high intensity interval training) and provides many benefits. Make this simple routine a priority in your morning and notice that you have increased energy, greater mental clarity, improved immune protection, and muscle toning. I believe you may even experience more positive food choices, better self-control, and better sleep. HIIT workouts can help stimulate the body’s production of hormones like HGH that can help you lose fat and build lean muscle. You can do this workout anywhere (I’ve done it in airports, while pumping gas, and while waiting outside stores for more avid shoppers!). For increased benefits, repeat multiple times throughout the day. Your body will thank you!

If you are new to exercise you can start with five reps of each exercise and repeat 3 times, gradually increasing. In this short video Dr Zach Bush introduces each exercise demonstrating correct movements.

If you want the background information about WHY this is such an effective workout and WHAT the body does during this time, watch Dr Zach Bush explain in the following 2 miniute video.

The following video describes the same routine with some modifications especially for women of all ages.

I’d love to hear about how you incorporate this exercise in your schedule!

Kick ‘um for Kids

Fresh lemons and ginger

Kick ‘um Juice is a ginger, hot pepper, turmeric and lemon juice that has amazing benefits as a health and immune boost. Many have used it effectively in their cancer protocols.

Combining ginger, turmeric, lemon, and honey with hot water is a great tea to drink when you experience any cold symptoms. These fresh ingredients bring many benefits whether you have a cold, or just want to stay healthy. Both ginger and turmeric are anti-inflammatory. Fresh lemons are a fabulous source of natural viatmin C.

Ginger root

I made a delicious ginger, lemon and honey drink, added fizzy water, and was refreshed with something similar to a homemade ginger ale. I didn’t have any turmeric, but if I had some I would have only added it to the last 5 minutes of simmering. If you don’t like fizzy, just drink it straight, or add water if desired.

Method

Sliced ginger simmering in a covered pot
Sliced ginger simmering in a covered pot

Slice about an inch of fresh ginger really thin. Put in a pot and cover with about 1/2 gallon (1 liter) boiling water. Cover and simmer for 1/2 – 1 hour. The more ginger you use the stronger the ginger flavor. Turn off heat and allow to cool.

Add raw local honey to taste, perhaps 1/4 – 1/2 cup (honey has many benefits, including soothing coughs) and store in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, pour into a glass, add the juice of 1/2 fresh lemon. Add some fizzy water if desired. Or, for simplicity, add lemon and fizzy water and keep in a bottle with a tight lid and use throughout the day.

Optional: add cayenne pepper if you can handle the HOT! Cayenne pepper provides many benefits.

Always find raw local honey. Mass produced honey that you buy in a supermarket does not provide the same benefits as local raw honey. Find the best honey available in your area.

Drink for coughs. Drink to treat allergies. Drink for sore throats. Drink for headache. Drink for refreshment.

Busy moms need an easy way to help their little ones stay healthy. Having sick miserable children makes us all want an “instant solution”!

Natural remedies support the body’s ability to heal. Avoiding pharmaceutical and typical OTC medications results in long term health. All pharmaceutical products come with unwanted side effects.

If you have coughing children or are facing yet another round of colds, you’ve probably tried a lot of different ways to help them. I hope you will find this Ginger Ale an easy effective treatment! Here is another easy natural way of soothing cough and cold symptoms.

Beware of Snakes

Photo of a red snake with bands of black an white.

Creative Writing based on 2 Corinthians 11 – an ancient letter written by Paul to the people of Corinth who were facing a conflict about who they should trust, who they should follow, who they should believe.

“But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the snake’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.” v3

For if ‘experts’ come to you and preach a salvation outside of Jesus, you put up with it easily enough. They offer ‘salvation through man-made technology’ or ‘salvation through man-made medicine’.

I don’t think I am inferior to your white coats. I may not have their intensive indoctrination —err training. I may not be eloquent, but I have knowledge. I have dedicated myself to focus on the topic of health and asked the Holy Spirit to guide me with insight and courage to share unpopular information. The U.S. has exported many things to the world. We even proudly export our ‘health care’ when we have an abysmal health track record.

I’ve never charged for my information. I share freely. My husband supports me marvelously.

WHO, CDC, NIH, FDA – these organizations (and many others) are the epitome of false prophets, deceitful workers, masquerading as bearers of truth. There may be some good people working in these places, but these significant agencies have been hijacked and captured by those who would profit from lies.

Are we surprised? “Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light!” v. 14

“It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.” v. 15

“You gladly put up with fools since you are so wise.” v. 19 You put up with fools who have status, degrees, positions. People who openly defy God yet proclaim their strategies as the hope of mankind.

“In fact, you put up with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you or takes advantage of you or puts on airs” or injects poisons into your children. Or mandates poison so you can work, or travel, or attend events. Or forces you to deprive yourself of oxygen. You put up with it.

I admit that I am not that forceful. I will share what I believe to be true and encourage you to make your own decisions. I won’t tell you what to do. I will warn you of the harms of certain medical procedures that are being pushed on us. Get all the information you can and choose wisely.

Holding to the truth may mean you will be rejected by your own family, scorned, maligned. Stay anchored, unwavering from the hope in Jesus you profess.

Do I make mistakes? Yes. Do I know everything? No. Even now, I may be wrong, but you can absolutely trust that I am not lying.

Let God be praised and glorified as we seek the ONLY salvation and ONLY hope for our time, Jesus Christ.

Germ theory explored

How would you treat a sick fish? Theory One: medicate the fish. Theory Two: clean the tank

The following 19 minute video explores the broad concept of terrain theory versus germ theory, the corona virus, the current experimental medical injection being widely promoted with an explanation of some of the ingredients, and the history of viruses as contagious from older books, papers, and experiments. I learned a lot. This is one of the best explanations of the flaws of germ theory succinctly explained that I have found. I’m not 100% sure that it’s 100% correct, but certainly worth a critical viewing.

Why you can’t catch a virus – great explanation

Critical thinking is about believing more true things and believing less false things. As we research medical and health claims we are often challenged by opinions, dogma, marketing, propaganda, and politics. Science has become a label but doesn’t always fit our understanding of the word. Most of us assume science is trustworthy. We assume science is based on clear evidence and fact. There are many excellent scientists seeking to understand, test, verify, and report on experiments. But there are also many using the term ‘science’ to support their business and marketing strategy.

Part of critical thinking is finding quality evidence. I found the evidence presented in the latter part of the video on early studies trying to show that polio and influenza were contagious very intriguing. Researchers went to extreme measures to try to transmit the virus from sick people to healthy, but failed to do so IN EVERY INSTANCE. You can read more about the experiments with Spanish Flu published on 2 August 1919 here. I find this particularly surprising in light of all we’ve heard in the media for the last 40 years or so, with heavier and heavier emphasis on infectious viruses in the last couple decades. In the video there is a reference to a documentary entitled Biochemistry Debunks Corona. In case you’d like to view more information, not only on corona but on pursuing true health, here it is: https://brandnewtube.com/v/xiqLrA

We may never know all the details that are at work behind the scenes in our brilliantly designed bodies. Exploring a variety of opinions and allowing ourselves to ask questions and consider answers is helpful before holding tightly to conclusions. Can you investigate two opposing ideas fully and fairly?

More and more health practitioners provide clear steps to health: reduce exposure to toxins, eat good clean food, get good sleep, get outdoors, find exercise you enjoy, maintain healthy relationships, and seek your Creator. Basically, reduce the yuk stuff of life, and add more clean stuff! The picture of the fish is a great illustration. ‘What can we do every day to help keep my environment clean?’ is a far better question than, ‘What sickness do I have and what drugs do I need to take to treat it?’

Another critically important question is, ‘If I’m healthy do I really need to inject this chemical concoction into my body to stay that way?’ You can explore more here.

Of course, ‘If my baby/child is healthy, do I need to inject him regularly according to a schedule designed by people with strong connections to an industry that profits from illness?’ is one of the most important questions a parent can consider. I’ve been researching and writing on this topic for years. I’ve collected information to help parents explore here.

"terrain est tout." (The microbe is nothing, the terrain is everything) -- The last words of Louis Pasteur (Father of the "Ger Theory" of disease): Germs Cause Disease or "Treat the patient, not the infection." Dis-ease is from a Weakened Immune System. Germ theory: Vaccinate the fish versus Terrain Theory: clean the tank?

Take your time. Explore evidence. Never make a decision on the basis of fear. The only fear we need is fear of God. When we truly fear God, we don’t fear anything else.

Have I been tricked?

There is a saying that it’s easier to fool someone than to convince someone that they have been fooled.

There is another saying that it’s easier to convince people of a huge lie than a small one.

Once our thinking is built on a foundation of lies or half truths we have a hard time discerning truth. How do we know?

There is another concept I’ve encountered that goes something like this, “Those who control the present, control the past. Those who control the past, control the future.”

Schools throughout the world teach history. Rarely will the curriculums from one country to another align. Sometimes different regions of a country have different history. Information about the past is transmitted to the next generations via curriculum for a variety of reasons. Many Christian homeschoolers carefully choose curricula that will support their Biblical world view. As a resident, turned citizen, of South Africa from 1983 to 2013, I heard a lot of discussion about educational curriculum in light of the profound changes the country experienced. Many past events were revised with a new understanding in light of the release of Nelson Mandela from prison and his election as President of the country that had once considered him a dangerous terrorist.

Rarely is history as clear as we’d like to be able to teach our children. Many of us grew up hearing lots of dates and facts in history class and lost interest in the topic. The intrigues of nation against nation and political rise and fall doesn’t captivate very many. Learning early on that history is boring, we put our attention and energy into areas that are more captivating.

As a retired homeschool mom [all five have long since graduated], I’ve grown to be very intrigued by history and explored a variety of different sources. The reality of the role of propaganda throughout history is undeniable, yet none of us wants to admit we have been a victim of propaganda! Could much of our early education and exposure to media have been part of a tactic to influence or control my thinking? We pride ourselves on our independent thought, yet how independent is my understanding of world affairs both past and present?

One thing I have learned in light of recent crazy events, God’s word is a great place to place my trust. The old testament accounts sound amazingly similar to what we are witnessing first hand today. God’s word is true. God is trustworthy. As I view current events in light of God’s eternal truths, I have more understanding. I also have confidence in our all powerful God!

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities: All things were created by Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. Colossians 1:15-17

God is still in control. All things are working for His purpose and for our ultimate good.

I found this lecture/interview with Professor Mark Crispin Miller from NYU quite profound. He is a student and teacher of propaganda throughout history. He makes some pretty startling statements in this 30 minute interview.

Here are the highlights:

Mark Cripsin Miller: “It seems to me that the year 2020 and the first half of 2021 have comprised a global propaganda spectacle of unprecedented scale and sophistication. I for one believe that we were subjected to a series of carefully planned psychological operations over the course of 2020 and just beyond. I think it started with the roll-out of the virus. This particular instance of fear-mongering is the most persuasive, the most compelling, the most devastating kind of fear-mongering that’s ever really been used in the history of propaganda and that’s really saying something. We’ve seen the fear propaganda move from the Hun to Communism to Terrorism but now it makes the crucial move to the thing itself. The thing with which previous enemies have been compared. The evocation of The Virus Is All Around Us was enough to turn the wits of millions of highly educated people. It’s a very easy matter to get people to do what you want. Just convince them they’re under attack and that anyone who argues with that claim is putting them at risk.”

“Propaganda is the executive arm of the invisible government,” wrote Edward Bernays [in 1929], the father of modern propaganda. In part one of Episode 17, Mark Crispin Miller, professor of Media Studies at New York University, discusses the propaganda onslaught that defined the year 2020, when what was dismissed one week is confirmed the next, and why questioning official narratives “necessarily means taking ‘conspiracy theory’ seriously.”

We can feel uneasy and unsettled when faced with such information. Sometimes we prefer to bury our heads in the sand and pretend our fantasy picture of the world is accurate! Understanding that there is something not quite right about the narrative we’ve been presented can actually open up our faith and cause us to grow as we seek to know God and call on Him to guide us as we navigate life with a new understanding. God is faithful. He is calling His children to trust Him. He is still at work building His Kingdom. We need to re-evaluate our tightly held ideas about the world and re-examine everything in light of God’s unfailing truth.

Ultimately we can no longer live in a fantasy world. The adage, “What you don’t know doesn’t hurt you,” is changed to “What you do know won’t hurt you.”

Death via a ‘health’ treatment?

She should be turning 3 years old in 23 days, having a blast at a party just for her.

Pfizer took her life instead.

Why I allowed unstudied, dangerous chemicals in a syringe, produced by a habitual-offending felon & the largest pharmaceutical criminal enterprise in the world to be shot into my baby.. is beyond me.

Evee Gayle Clobes, August 19th, 2018-March 1st, 2019, died shortly after receiving the recommended 6 month vaccines, Pediarix and Prevnar. Her fight is still ongoing. www.justiceforevee.org 

Death via injection is not a new phenomenon, but never before have so many deaths been associated with one single injection: the experimental liability free product now being pushed throughout the world in the name of ‘health’, ‘prevention’, and ‘safety’.

11,405 deaths have been reported to VAERS in just over 6 months (as of 16 July 2021). This is astronomically more deaths than any other vaccine ever brought to the market.

The graph on the left shows results up to May 28 is startling in itself. But the value reached at that stage has already more than doubled.

Every needless death is a tragedy. The companies perpetuating an untested, known to be harmful product with zero liability have little motivation to improve. Thank you Catie Clobes for your dedication to educating others in the hope that they will be able to heed your warning and thus avoid experiencing the same pain.

As of 16 July 2021 there have been 11,405 death reported to the US Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS). You can read individual reports. You can search for key words like “deaths”. This resulted in 951 pages listing 12 results per page. According to doctors who have completed these reports, the process can take up to 30 minutes and there are warnings on every page for penalties of reporting false information. So these are not frivolous reports.

Choose carefully whom you will believe.

Joshua told the vast nation of ancient Israel to choose carefully whom they would serve, “as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

But be very careful to keep the commandment and the law that Moses the servant of the Lord gave you: to love the Lord you God, to walk in obedience to Him, to keep His commands, to hold fast to Him, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul.” Joshua 22:5

If you violate the covenant of the Lord your God, which He commanded you, and go and serve other gods and bow down to them, the Lord’s anger will burn against you, and you will quickly perish from the good land He has given you.” Joshua 23:16

But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:15

Any procedure that knowingly results in the untimely death of a healthy person must be questioned. Any industry that relies on the harvesting of unborn babies for their organs and tissues is an abhorrence to our Creator.

Many Christians have been sucked into following after the ‘health’ and ‘safety’ claims. We are bombarded with propaganda promoting an experimental liability-free medical procedure that has caused more deaths than any other pharmaceutical product in history. God’s grace provides forgiveness when we repent, and turn from our ways.

Catie was just a mom who wanted to do the very best for her baby. She followed the prevailing medical views without questioning. She experienced the shock and horror of her precious baby’s death. She is relentlessly pursuing justice and education for parents who are as ignorant as she was. She has become an expert at underlying the physiologic mechanisms that caused her baby’s tragic death. Her voice is a beacon of light for those who would pay attention. God uses the pain of others to help us learn. Some will still insist on learning the hard way.

The important point to note is that people like Catie are not “anti vax”. They voluntarily received the injections that the medical people in their life promoted to them as “safe, effective, essential…”

If you are still unsure of the reality of vaccine injury, you can see thousands of real life people telling their stories on TikTok and Instagram. Use #vaccineinjury #vaxinjured or similar variations. The warning of deception is repeated in many places. Here is a passage from Ephesians 4:

So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. 15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. 16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.

17 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking18 They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. 19 Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed.

Living in God’s freedom, we can trust that God designed our immune system to be able to respond appropriately to all potential contagious illness. The non-specific antibodies He designed as part of a fine tuned network are BRILLIANT! One of the biggest problems with vaccines is that they are designed to alter and modify the immune response put into place by God. Scientists can differentiate a profound difference between ‘vaccine immunity’ and naturally acquired innate immunity. As for me, I prefer to trust in God’s design. Death is an inevitability. We will all die. We must use the life God has given us to serve Him wholeheartedly. Fear of death is not a reason to accept an untested, known to be harmful, treatment. Who will we worship?

Becky Hastings collects information on health and tries her best to discover and share truth. “By God’s grace, through Jesus Christ, I was saved, blessed with a husband of 40 years, and have five precious babies all grown up. I now get to delight as nine grandchildren grow! Together we can help each other discover a healthy path in this crazy upside down world.
