  • 20 Facts about Abortion Tainted Vaccines

    There is clear evidence that vaccines are produced using the bodies of aborted human beings and experimentation of the product was performed on severely disabled humans. Some “prolifers” have agreed that since the aborted fetal cell lines were already in existence (and not created for the purpose of making a vaccine), at least some good came from the babies who died. However, they would never condone the abortion itself. 

    ____________________________

    December 2020 UPDATE: US Catholic Bishops endorse Abortion Tainted Vaccines. “neither vaccine [Pfizer nor Moderna’s] is completely free from any connection to morally compromised cell lines.”  https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/us-bishops-endorse-abortion-tainted-covid-vaccine-an-act-of-love-of-our-neighbor Moderna COVID-19 vaccine uses the aborted fetal cell line HEK-293 extensively in numerous patents in the fundamental design of mRNA technology. (as documented here )

    Dr. Theresa Deisher, founder and chief scientist of the Sound Choice Pharmaceutical Institute, has questioned the necessity of a vaccine against COVID-19, saying: “[w]e’re making a vaccine at warp speed for a virus that doesn’t look like it’s going to need a vaccine.”

    Deisher explains that “this virus to date has less than a 0.03% fatality rate and most of those people, I believe it’s 92% or above, have other health problems.” She added that developing a vaccine in such a quick time frame “is possible, but I don’t believe it is desirable, nor do I believe that it’s safe,” with as much as “15% of the very healthy young volunteers [experiencing] significant side effects.” Many of the initial vaccine recipients have had significant adverse reactions to the vaccine.

    Focus on the Family , and the Catholic Church (and other religious organizations* See below) make the argument that something ‘good’ was developed on the sacrificed bodies of human beings, and even though they were tested on severely disabled individuals, vaccines ‘morally’ acceptable. 

    We submit that their argument is ‘false thinking’ and as tainted as the vaccines themselves. 

    These researchers didn’t dig through discarded body parts to make something useful. The abortions were performed in such a way to deliver LIVE CELL SAMPLES to the laboratory for dissection and research. In addition, the principal researcher Dr. Plokin admits to unethically experimenting on children and adults with disabilities in order to develop his product that is now mandated to be injected into school children of all faiths.

    20 Facts about Abortion-Tainted Vaccines

    1. Vaccines were cultured exclusively on animal tissue prior to the 1960’s (animals such as the rhesus monkey).
    2. Culturing vaccines on animal cells was useful but had unintended consequences. A well-documented example is the discovery of vaccines contaminated with the SV40 virus from rhesus monkey cells used in its production.
    3. In the early 1960’s, Dr. Leonard Hayflick was the first researcher who set out to create a “fetal cell line” for use in culturing vaccines instead of using animal tissue.
    4. A fetal cell line is derived from live cells taken from an aborted baby. The live cells are modified so they can replicate indefinitely.
    5. In 1962, Dr. Hayflick developed the first fetal cell line called WI-38 (Wistar Institute, 38th fetal sample) from the lung tissue of an aborted 31 week gestation baby girl.
    6. The data in his 1961 and 1965 papers show at least 23 aborted babies used in the research around the creation of WI-38. The number is likely higher, given that some of the cell strains he researched were not documented in his published papers.
    7. Fetal cell line WI-38 is currently being used in the
    8. Next, in 1964 Dr. Stanley Plotkin isolated a rubella virus strain, RA 27/3 (Rubella Abortus, 27th fetus, 3rd tissue culture explant), that was later used in Merck’s rubella vaccine.
    9. RA 27/3 was combined with WI-38 to create the rubella vaccine we use today.
    10. It is well established that almost 80 aborted babies were used in the research leading to the development of RA 27/3. Dr. Plotkin’s 1969 article cites 76 of those abortions.
    11. Dr. Plotkin’s value of life is revealed through his actions. He tested his rubella vaccine on orphans as young as 14 months old and “seronegative mentally retarded children”.

      In a letter to the editor, he defended his colleagues’ unethical experimental research on those with disabilities at Willowbrook Hospital. He stated that “performing initial studies on children and adults who are human in form but not in social potential… nonfunctioning persons” is acceptable, even preferred. He went on to state, “Morality must be defined by circumstances and facts.”

    12. In 1966, researchers at the Medical Research Council in the UK developed the fetal cell line MRC-5, from a 3 1/2 month gestation baby boy who was aborted for psychiatric reasons from a physically healthy 27 year old mother.

    13. MRC-5 is used in numerous vaccines today, including:

    CDC Vaccine Excipient Guide information is now being censored. The CDC has ‘updated’ their list without any changes to the vaccines themselves.

    14. After their initial creation, each fetal cell line is reproduced many times over. Though they theoretically reproduce indefinitely, they have a finite lifespan of use, as they become more oncogenic (tumor-causing/cancerous) with each reproduction.

    15. Due to the finite nature of the use of the current fetal cell lines, researchers have (since the 1960’s) continued to this day using aborted babies in their work toward creating new fetal cell lines.

    16. Here’s a list of just a few fetal cell lines created in the years since WI-38, RA 27/3, and MRC-5 (with links to where some of these aborted fetal cells can actually be purchased): WI-44, MRC-7, MRC-9, HEK 293, PER.C6, IMR-90, IMR-91, TIG-1, Walvax-2.

    17. The most recent fetal cell line, Walvax-2, was developed by Chinese researchers in 2015 using a 3-month gestation baby girl.

    18. Walvax-2 researchers matter-of-factly describe intentionally aborting 9 babies using the “water bag method” of abortion. It’s illegal in the United States. As little value as our country places on life, this practice is so inhumane it is still banned in America. In layman’s terms, the mother’s uterus is filled with saline water so the baby can essentially be floated out of her uterus alive and in-tact. The baby is then given straight to researchers who quickly dissect them alive because a viable fetal cell line requires live cells. 
    In the researcher’s own words, the “tissues from the freshly aborted fetuses were immediately sent to the laboratory for the preparation of the cells.”

    19. These aborted babies were used for research in 2015, not 60 years ago. It is a current and ongoing practice.

    20. Walvax-2 was specifically developed as a replacement for the aging MRC-5 cell line. It was tested with rabies, hepatitis, and Varicella viruses, and was found to be “equal or superior to MRC-5 cells for cultivating these viruses”.

    Dissecting aborted babies (many presumed to be alive at the time) for vaccine research has been a consistent and ongoing practice for the past 60 years.

    Researchers and scientists worked with local doctors to identify the preborn children whose sacrificed bodies would be used to “improve the health” others. The very definition of ‘child sacrifice’.

    I had allowed minimal information to inform a most delicate decision for my children. I submitted without thinking critically to headlines and news articles. In the end, I allowed the thoughts of an atheist researcher with different moral, ethical and spiritual views than me to determine what I thought about such an important subject.

    How does this impact the heart of our living God? As the creator and sustainer of life, I think His heart is deeply grieved over this practice.

  • Table Rock Mobile Medicine and Immunize.org Mock Mother whose Child is Dead from Vaccines

    This past week, there was a Vaxxed II showing at the Village in Meridian. Upon arrival at the theater, people in attendance noticed a table outside the front of the building, with a sign that said: “VACCINES SAVE LIVES”. It was Bradley Bigford of Table Rock Medicine, along with “Get Immunized, Idaho”. (*He’s spent hours on Health Freedom Idaho Facebook page trolling. And cried ‘victim’ to get attention from local media)

    A mother of a child who was killed by vaccines, along with her sister in-law, walked up to the booth, only partially seeing the sign because of people standing in front of the table, and assuming that this was where they were supposed to sign in to watch the documentary.

    Once they realized the sign said “VACCINES SAVE LIVES”, the two women looked at each other knowingly and began to walk away.

    Brad noticed that they weren’t happy to see the sign, so he made sure to tell them, “Vaccines save lives!”

    The mother was going to walk away, but her sister-in-law spoke up, and said, “Tell that to my nephew who is ten feet in the ground.”

    And Brad (or his associate) responded, “Only ten feet!” And *LAUGHED* at this heart-broken mother and her sister-in-law as they walked away.

    The child who died was partially vaccinated up to age 15 months. Just like Evee, Catie Clobes daughter, who died with a red, sandpaper rash on her cheeks, so did this boy. At his 15 month visit, mom decided to catch him up on the vaccines he hadn’t received yet. Within two days he spiked a fever, so she decided to contact the on-call nurse. The nurse told her to alternate with Tylenol and Motrin. The next day, her son did not wake up. 💔

    No mother should suffer the trauma of being mocked and heckled over death of her child. A child she vaccinated. Shame on your Immunize.org representative and Bradley Bigford of Table Rock Medicine.

    Bradley Bigford is a Nurse Practitioner, who, as I mentioned above owns a local mobile medicine service. The entire purpose of him showing up unannounced to a Vaxxed 2 showing – a movie about vaccine injured and killed children – was to mock them and tell them they’re clueless, and that vaccines didn’t kill their child. Just standing there with a table and sign that says, “VACCINES SAVE LIVES” is mocking them.

    As you can see in the pictures, Brad, along with “Get Immunized, Idaho”, are PROUD of themselves. They are *PROUD* to be mocking vaccine injured and killed children and their families, at a showing of a documentary featuring thousands of families who have suffered as a result of vaccines.

    I approached him much later, not having known there had been an event. When I asked him if he knew any vaccine-injured people he said it’s as rare as being struck by lightning, “one in ten million.” And just hours before he had mocked the death of a precious child.

    – Jennifer

    Even at 1 in a million which we know is much much higher. That is still 74 death if each received only 1 vaccine a year (which we know is much higher). How would we be treated if we completely dismissed a child who died from an illness?

    It’s not surprising that Brad is such a proponent of vaccines… he admitted on his own Facebook page that he administered 800 flu shots alone this past year by the time November rolled around.

    His business depends on injecting people with liability-free pharmaceutical products that contain toxic substances, aren’t even effective, and cause adverse events he turns a blind eye to.

    Regardless of whether or not Brad “believes” that vaccines can harm and kill children (THEY DO), what kind of person LAUGHS at and MOCKS dead children and their mothers?

    Shame on you Brad.
    Shame on you “Get Immunized, Idaho”.

    Oh, and don’t forget to zoom in on the green table cloth that says “United Nations Foundation”…

    Wife Nancy of Table Rock Medicine is worried about how this will affect their business and felt compelled to let everyone know that they won’t get rich injecting people with liability-free medical products – they are in it to ‘help people’.

    Nancy Myrick Bigs, unfortunately, this isnt a discussion about whether vaccines are good or bad. It is a discussion about actions your husband and associates took that were unacceptable.

    Maybe you and your husband should have a serious discussion about whether or not setting up a booth in front of a theater that is showcasing a movie about families that have been traumatized by the realities of a serious vaccine reaction is acceptable? Your husband openly mocked these people by placing a booth in front of the theater of how vaccines save lives. When vaccines are also responsible for taking lives and some of these people have lost loved ones to vaccines.
    To ignore this and pretend that his actions were okay is just as reprehensible as what he and his associates did.

    Having some common decency and respect for others goes a LONG way.

    Sincerely,
    A mom, a wife, an educated person who also went to nursing school, a survivor of a vaccine reaction and a mother to a beautiful little girl that almost died from a reaction

  • WHO Scientist Caught On Camera Questioning Safety of Vaccines

    Take 9 minutes to see hear for yourself how the World Health Organization Scientists Question Safety Of Vaccines. This Shocking footage from inside The W.H.O. Global Vaccine Safety Summit on December 2 and 3 2019 lamenting about the LACK OF VACCINE SAFETY STUDIES. It certainly sounds as if these vaccines science leaders of the W.H.O. are using the General population as test samples.

    https://youtu.be/s2IujhTdCLE

    World Health Organization’s Chief Scientist, Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, telling the world in a recorded advertisement sponsored by The World Health Organization that the public can rest assured that vaccines are perfectly safe. (see video) She states that the vaccine program has been “robustly” tested, perfectly monitored by medical authorities and their safety is assured.

    5 days later, on December 3rd, 2019, (in the video above) she addresses the Global Vaccine Safety Summit in Geneva Switzerland. Here she tells a completely different story- here she tells the truth, not knowing it would go viral.

    She states: “we cannot overemphasize the fact that we really don’t have very good vaccine safety monitoring systems”.

    Oh, what a difference 5 days makes!

    At the same Vaccine Summit, it was admitted in-house by WHO doctors that there have been no vaccine safety trials in pregnant women at all, yet they are still strongly encouraging women to have multiple vaccines during pregnancy.

    Professor Heidi Larson, Director, Vaccine Confidence Project, stated at the same WHO Summit: ” doctors are lucky if they get a half-day on vaccine education in their entire medical course… we have a very wobbly health professional front-line (doctors), that is starting to question vaccines and the safety of vaccines. That’s a huge problem”. Listen carefully here 8:09

    And here’s the kicker- Professor Larson then states that much of what is ridiculed as anti-vaccine “misinformation” is not in fact misinformation at all. It is true.

    We have been officially told that vaccines are completely safe and effective, that the science is settled, and we, the public, can have absolute faith that the authorities are vigilant in monitoring vaccine safety.

    Then we have the Global Vaccine Safety Summit where many of the speakers, representing the very top doctors and scientists around the world, were lamenting the lack of vaccine safety studies.

    This should be exposed on every current affairs program, all news and media outlets. But instead, we have silence.

    Science is NEVER settled!

  • Political Sleight of Hand – Committees Shuffle Rules

    Health Freedom Idaho has a team of volunteers who spend hours starting the week of Legislative session combing through the agendas, announcements, and communications from the Capitol to see when and where the public needs to be present to ensure our voices are heard. Political games were played this week to keep both the public and committee members ‘in the dark’ about the content of the rules voted upon in committee. Then in an act of arrogance, the committee chair Senator Fred Martin mocked Health Freedom Idaho members in a social media post.

    So first, for anyone who does not know, the term ‘anti-vaxxer’ is derogatory, degrading, and demeaning. It is hurtful and insensitive. Most parents who do not vaccinate their children did so at one time. They may now choose not to because they have a child with a vaccine injury. Maybe one of their children died from a vaccine. Maybe they have a niece or nephew or child of a friend whose grave they now visit because of vaccines. Or maybe a parent does not vaccinate because they did what parents do – they heard or read information contrary to their previous knowledge and they started researching and stopped vaccinating their children before something tragic, devastating, and lifelong occurred in their child’s life. 

    Anti-vaxxer is a derogatory term used by politicians, media, and the pharmaceutical companies who own them both, to silence and gaslight parents who have children who were harmed by vaccines.

    According to a Harvard Medical School study conducted between June 2006 and October 2009, vaccine injuries and deaths are vastly under-reported. It concluded that fewer than 1% of vaccine adverse events are reported. This study was funded by a grant from the CDC. Once these reports came in, the CDC completely stopped communication with Harvard.

    Yes, you read that correctly. The government agency that physicians look to for safety information and guidance ghosted the prestigious medical school whose study results did not align with the narrative being perpetuated. (Vaccine Safety: Under Reporting of Vaccine Adverse Events)

    The people of Idaho understand the importance of parental rights in medical decision making. We understand and respect that these rights are fundamental and unalienable. These rights can not and will not be disrupted.

    3 Years…3 Bills and Finally Administrative Rules were Modified

    Health Freedom Idaho worked diligently for 3 years to ensure that Idaho Code matched the Administrative Rules from our state Department of Health and Welfare concerning the exemptions to vaccines for school and daycare attendance in our state.

    We brought forward three bills – SB1050, SB1227, and HB133 in attempts to remedy the fact that our Administrative Rule did not reflect the right of a parent to submit a simple signed statement opting their child out of the vaccine mandates for school and daycare attendance in our state. These bills would have modified the controlling statutes, Idaho Code 39-4802 and Idaho Code 39-1118.

    Finally, in 2018 the Department of Health and Welfare re-wrote the incorrect rules, bringing them into agreement with those controlling statutes. Parents across the state celebrated their rights being recognized and respected.  (Health Department Rule Change)

    Between the time the temporary (correct) rules were published in the Spring of 2018 and the time they were to be confirmed by the Legislature in January 2019, the Department of Health and Welfare went through the rule that applies to school attendance, IDAPA 16.02.15.110, and everywhere the rule used the word “child,” it was changed to “student.”

    This may not seem like a big deal, but it is huge. Firstly, the rule must match the controlling statute. The statute uses only the word “child.”

    Secondly, the vaccine mandates do not apply to a person who is over 18 and no longer a minor child, but Idaho schools and daycares have consistently withheld as much information about the mandates and exemptions from Idaho parents as possible. Many 18-year-old students will likely be made to believe they must have these vaccines in order to attend high school and college, with no option in Idaho law for exemptions. 

    In the 2019 House Health and Welfare hearing to confirm the rule, citizens and parents went to the Capitol and voiced their very valid complaints about the wording change the Department had made with no public input.

    The Department acknowledged to the committee, on record, that the word “student” needed to be changed back to “child.” The Department representative assured Chairman Fred Wood this change would be made and the rule would be corrected after the committee confirmed it.

    Wood allowed the motion and vote to confirm the rule, and it passed with a majority vote. THE DEPARTMENT WENT BACK ON THEIR WORD AND NEVER CORRECTED THE RULE. So now, after 4 years of work, we are back to a place where the rule does not match the statute.

    Public Petitions for Hearings on the Rules in Counties

    This summer hundreds of people came to testify at public hearings before the Health Department. Hundreds more sent in concerns about this problem throughout the state to their legislators. They expected their voices would be heard and listened to. (Standing Room Only at Public Hearings)

    Now, We Have A Problem

    Now, in the matter of the Administrative Rules confirmation happening right now in the Idaho Legislature, we have a problem.

    Last session (2019), the House and Senate could not agree on the bill to reauthorize Idaho’s entire set of Administrative Rules. Because of this, every rule is temporary and has to be confirmed by one committee in either the House or the Senate. This seems simple, and like a perfect opportunity to complain about our exemption rule not matching our exemption statute.

    Health Freedom Idaho has been trying diligently to track down which committee would hear that particular set that contained our rule in question, and when exactly it would be heard so that we could testify against the current, inappropriate wording.

    Unfortunately, it has not been simple at all.

    It seems that the powers that be panicked, knowing the potential to have the entire legislative session tied up with citizens challenging rules (as they should be).

    So the rules were divided up in ways that seem intentionally counter-intuitive in order to make finding one in particular very tough to chase down.

    That is exactly what happened.

    The House committee on Wednesday, Jan 8 passed as a whole the dockets that included IDAPA 16.01 and 16.03.

    We tried to figure out where IDAPA 16.02 was.
    Had it been moved to a different day?
    Was it excluded completely for some reason?
    So many questions that none of the representatives we talked to could answer for us. During the committee hearings, the Representatives were attempting to understand and asking questions, which seemed to also go unanswered.

    Ultimately authorization motions and votes took place, with many on the committees not understanding what they had reauthorized.

    This is certainly not a transparent, representative government. 

    Thursday, January 9, while Health Freedom Idaho was at the Capitol giving tours, the Senate Health and Welfare committee had the docket on its agenda that included IDAPA 16.02. Unfortunately, we did not realize it was happening right at the time we were there.

    The next day, the chairman, Fred Martin, had the audacity to post this extremely insensitive and outrageous description on his Senate Facebook page:

    Health Freedom Idaho has had multiple conversations with this man about the problem with the word “student” being used instead of the word from Idaho Code – “child.” He is well aware of the problem with the way this rule was written. Especially because of his position as chairperson, Fred Martin had the very important responsibility of having this discussion in his committee and remedying this problem.

    What did he do instead? He publicly mocked the parents of vaccine-injured and vaccine killed children. He puffed his chest and proclaimed what a friend he is to Idahoans who value and defend health and medical freedom. He promotes himself as a Republican, a person concerned with personal liberty, parental rights, and bodily autonomy. HE IS NONE OF THOSE THINGS. He is a RINO (Republican In Name Only) who takes thousands of dollars in campaign donations from pharmaceutical companies. He ignores, mocks, or completely deletes discussions that parents try to have with him about these issues. He wants nothing more than to destroy our right to make medical decisions for our children.

    Fred Martin is an enemy of freedom. 

    Here is the good news: It appears we may be able to pull this rule back up in committee for a discussion. Health Freedom Idaho is working to figure out exactly what that looks like and how to do so.

    Please be on the lookout for our call to action. We need Idaho parents to show up and testify about the problem with this rule and why the people of Idaho demand it be fixed immediately.

  • Organic Baby Food: Better for Your Baby?

    A parent is faced with many choices to make before as well as after the baby is born. Whether it is finding the best daycare or choosing the right equipment for your baby, expenses for new parents tend to add real fast.

    In an attempt to save money, new parents could be wondering if buying organic food for their babies is worth it. It is not unusual for parents to go for a lower-cost conventional baby food option to save the few extra pennies they would have to pay for organic food.

    The benefits of consuming organic food are widely known and, most notably, for toddlers. Hence, for baby development it is crucial to consider organically grown food. Food that is certified organic in the US is grown without the use of bioengineered genes (GMO), synthetic pesticides, sewage sludge-based fertilizers, and petroleum-based fertilizers.

    According to the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture), organic animals should also be raised in a way that naturally supports their health and behavior. They must be fed a 100% certified organic diet, they must live on land that has been certified organic, and where they get year-round access to the outdoors, they shouldn’t be treated with hormones, antibiotics, or other prohibited ingredients.

    Organic crop growers must also avoid using any genetically modified seeds and instead utilize other methods like crop rotation, to preserve fertility and soil quality. In place of herbicides, pesticides, or fungicides, USDA emphasizes those organic growers strongly rely on the PAMS (Prevention, Avoidance, Monitoring, and Suppression) strategy for safe pest management.

    But why is organic food more expensive? Well, because providing safe and better living surroundings for domestic animals, obtaining and maintaining organic certification, and employing other useful organic practices cost more than the methods conventional farmers use.

    This is why organic foods are slightly more expensive than non-organic food. The organic price tag is a way that closely reflects the real cost of growing food: the intensive management for chemicals, substituting labor, environmental, and health costs that are borne by society.

    So is organic food better for your baby? Is it worth to pay a little more for organic food? We look at the benefits of organic food to your baby:

    Limited Chemical Exposure

    Organic food is a better choice for your baby because of the lack of chemical exposure. There are toxins in pesticides used on crops that could cause a host of health problems that could affect the baby’s growth rate, brain development, and overall health.

    Pesticides may be linked to an increased risk of developmental and behavioral issues, hormonal and neurological issues, cancer, and other health problems.

    Better Mental Health

    There is a direct correlation between disease and diet, which means that the risks of ADD, concentration problems and depression can be lowered by feeding your baby organic baby food. 

    Better Physical Health

    Based on this nutritional study, it was discovered that two-year-olds who were fed exclusively organic dairy products developed fewer incidents of wheezing and eczema. This helps reduce the chances of your baby being diagnosed with asthma.

    Environmentally Friendly

    Conventional foods or non-organic foods are sprayed with chemicals like pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides. These chemicals have been designed to remain on the plant, but when it rains, a portion of them will wash off and be absorbed in the surrounding groundwater and soil, which eventually affects even the wildlife.

    Better Taste

    Even with all the research surrounding organic foods, there is no denying that organic food tastes better than conventional food. When you start your baby on solids, organic food will allow your baby’s palate to enjoy what is in the mouth.

    A good number of parents prefer organic baby food because it simply tastes better with others, prefers it because it is environmentally friendly.

    However, what is most important is a balanced diet. Giving your baby homemade organic baby food from the beginning will help set your kids up for a lifetime of healthy eating.

  • Idaho Statesman Advocates for Medical Tyranny

    Idaho Statesman is using its newspaper to advocate for medical tyranny.  Are you surprised? What happened to impartial journalism? 

    Idaho Statesman wants the state to “get rid of Idaho’s “personal belief” exemption for vaccines”. They want to “get rid of the state law that allows parents to ignore medical treatment for children for preventable illnesses”. Idaho Statesman says there should be no other treatment than MEDICAL treatment. A parent of a critically ill child would be forced to proceed with a specific ‘standard of care’. (Read here about the slippery slope this poses)
    What would define “preventable” treatment? Where is the line? 👀.
    Looks like Idaho Statesman would like the legislature to determine that for each and every one of you. ❌

    ✅ Take Action #5MinActivism

    Idaho Statesman thinks that Idaho dodged a bullet with a measles outbreak last year. (Read about the “HotSpot Hoax” – the hoax that pockets of unvaccinated individuals will spread disease to vaccinated individuals)

  • The effect of Curcumin on Cancer

    Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. Conventional therapies cause widespread systemic toxicity and lead to serious side effects that prohibit their long term use. Additionally, in many circumstances, tumor resistance and recurrence is commonly observed.

    The use of cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs to destroy cancer cells remains the standard treatment for patients with metastatic cancer. Cytotoxic drugs inhibit cell division and in this way cause cancer cells to die. The efficacy of these treatments is limited, with recurrence common.

    https://www.eurekaselect.com/131474/article

    Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify suitable anticancer therapies that are highly precise with minimal side effects. Curcumin is a natural polyphenol molecule derived from the Curcuma longa plant which exhibits anticancer, chemo-preventive, chemo- and radio-sensitization properties. Curcumin’s widespread availability, safety, low cost, and multiple cancer-fighting functions justify its development as a drug for cancer treatment.

    Curcumin has been shown to have numerous cytotoxic effects on cancer stem cells (CSCs) yet curcumin has little toxicity against normal stem cells (NSCs).

    AntiCancer Research Journal
    http://ar.iiarjournals.org/content/35/2/599.full.pdf+html

    In order to overcome common major obstacles in conventional cancer therapeutics, scientists are searching for effective treatments within alternative medicine, complementary medicine, and supplements. The National Cancer Institute at the National Institutes of Health (USA) recognizes complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) as prevention/treatment options (http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/cam).

    Natural herbal compounds or daily food ingredients are widely studied to learn their specific roles in anticancer activities [2, 3]. Unlike first-line cancer therapeutic drugs, herbal and natural compounds are capable of targeting cancer(s) via several pathways and are, therefore, more valuable and reliable in producing superior therapeutic effects in a disease condition (multiple pathogenic factors) [4, 6].

    It is believed that herbal medicine brings new hope for cancer prevention due to the safety of herbs and lack of discernible toxicity to normal cells. This alternative approach has been used to treat a wide spectrum of cancers.

    December 2019, the FDA is on track to reject fully 95% of the 300+ nominated natural ingredients used by patients as compounded medications, despite a long history of safe use and patient need including curcumin.

    With this pressing need to find alternative less toxic and more effective anticancer therapies, what could the FDA’s reasoning be to eliminate access to curcumin for individuals with cancer?

    Comments from the public to the FDA closed the beginning of December. However, You can still make your voice heard.
