  • Herd Immunity is Grossly Misunderstood

    Microbiologist John Dorman, PhD

    “I do believe that a vaccine can, under some circumstances, provide temporary ‘immunity’ or protection from an infectious pathogen, however, that is where my faith in inoculation ends. Vaccines were never intended to be the first line of defense against infectious disease nor were they intended to be provided under such an aggressive immunization schedule. As most of you are aware, the development of modern sanitation has contributed far more to limit the spread of disease than the vaccine.

    My greatest issue with the current vaccine schedule is that it fuels the fire of viral mutation.

    Consider the 2015 measles outbreak at Disneyland. It had nothing to do with the un-vaccinated, but rather a very simple process of an accelerated morbillivirus mutation. Why do you think we alter the flu vaccine every year? Viruses mutate naturally but do so at a greatly accelerated rate when threatened by the antigens provided through the vaccination process. At some point, the rate of mutation will surpass our ability to develop a vaccine. If this occurs there will be nothing left to stem the advance of the disease.

    And herd immunity is grossly misunderstood. True herd immunity can only result from a healthy, fully functioning immune system. Vaccines cannot confer “herd immunity” because vaccines only stimulate one of the two essential elements of the immune system. In the vaccinated, the body’s natural immune response is impaired, and the antibodies are not as strong as they would have been had the virus passed through the immune system in a ‘natural’ manner, therefore leading to an ever-increasing reliance on developing more vaccinations.

    Unfortunately, the immune response mounted by the vaccine is enough to trigger mutation in the attacking virus. I too want herd immunity, but it will never be achieved through vaccination. Why are so many booster shots necessary to bring antibody titers up to serologically acceptable levels? Does this not indicate that our current science does not yet allow us to formulate an injection that mimics naturally acquired and lifelong immunity? The current truth is it is impossible to create permanent immunity through the artificial induction of a vaccine.

    Many of the infectious diseases we immunize against are simply a result of poor hygiene and or septic recycling systems, unnatural diets, metabolic congestion (especially liver) and persistent immune suppression via pharmaceuticals.

    The large-scale public health innovations – including clean water technologies, sanitation, refuse management, milk pasteurization, and meat inspection – as the source of health improvement and reduction of disease. Harvard Paper

    These infections are natural in these environments and in many cases, designed and created by and within the body itself to carry out a janitorial duty by infecting and removing all cells of poor integrity so the body can be revitalized by their new replacements. There is enough evidence to prove that vaccines diminish the integrity of every cell in the body and exacerbate the need for a deeper, more widespread infection at a future time.

    Mass vaccination is, in my opinion, bad science at best and will eventually lay waste to any natural immunity of humans at worst.

    The only way to ensure lasting and permanent immunity is through a truly healthy “herd” which is the complete antithesis of a drug-dependent population that find themselves unable to fight any infection naturally. First, we abuse the antibiotic and witness the birth of the super-bug. A mutated strain 100% drug-resistant and now through the abuse and overuse of the vaccine we are forcing the antigenic drift and accelerated mutation of the virus.

    And for proof? I have compiled much research over the years, but it is not possible to point you to a single study or a ‘smoking gun’. It took me several years to unravel the dogma that I was taught and accepted early in my career.
    I don’t know all the answers, but I am certain we are not asking enough of the right questions. I know many doctors, nurses, researchers, chemists and fellow microbiologist who do not “tow the party line” when it comes to the “science” of vaccines.

    The science is not settled and anyone in the medical community who attempts to convince you otherwise is either willfully deceitful or woefully ignorant. We have chosen to roll the dice and gamble with our health.

    What will save us from disease when this Ponzi scheme of mass vaccination and symptom management collapses? I fear we will be left with nothing to defend ourselves against invading pathogens because we all chose to remain ignorant rather than integrate the truth while we still had a chance.

    Because we chose to consume antibiotics like candy and prescribe them for everything under the sun…we chose to believe that vaccination would magically provide us immunity because many of us were too lazy to learn how to build immunity naturally through diet and lifestyle or to learn the symptoms of environmental poisoning. We chose to numb the pain instead of addressing the cause of the pain.

    All of these short-sighted decisions will eventually circle back around and bite us all in the collective arse.

    I truly hope we all wake up soon.”

  • HFI. What have we done lately?

    Hello Freedom Lover!

    We wanted to allow you to take a peek behind the scenes, at Health Freedom Idaho. Censorship has been heavy and has dropped our reach via the web by more than 50%. Social Media took an even bigger hit as our page of 11,000 members on Facebook reaches only 300 on average. We saw New York’s unconstitutional quarantine and their loss of medical exemptions and just days ago – California followed suit. IDAHO! WE ARE NOT BACKING DOWN! In fact, we know the time is of the essence and our team of mom volunteers has been bustling this summer, making waves and planning changes to preserve Idaho’s health freedom!<click the hashtag to read more!>

    • #Censorship It’s been with a HUGE en devour to stay online! The past three months, we have had to find new providers for our donations, a new email system, a new website server, and alternative social media platforms. (find us on MeWe, AllSocial, and MindsSwitching over has had hiccups and missteps, but hopefully, the kinks are worked out, and you should begin to receive regular and relevant communication.
    • #CPSExecutive Director Miste has been working with IdahoCPS.org in Organizing and Calling Out how CPS is weaponize at Kootenai Health. Their deliberate efforts to force parents to comply with costly procedures on children with the strong arm enforcer of CPS.
    • #Coercion Our active Facebook group has the community educating parents about School Coercion in vaccine exemptions during enrollment. We posted an article that was shared by healthnutnews and with legislators of the Health and Welfare committees.
    • #Consent Our team of freedom lovers spent time gathering signatures to petition for a hearing. Then more than 100 people spoke out at public hearing across the state to stop the overstep of the health department’s rules on informed consent, school enrollment, CPS interaction.
    • #Communication The ‘misinformation campaign’ is really missing – information. Members and Activists participated in several in joint Educational Flash Mobs with Informed Choice Washington. (With more plans in the works) Taking time to participate in the #justasking campaign online designed to get people to consider the questions left unanswered when it comes to the US vaccine program.

    GMO, Failed Promises; Flawed Science: A Serious Health and Safety Issue

    KEYNOTE SPEAKER: Dr. Don Huber award-winning, international scientist and professor emeritus of plant pathology at Purdue University  

    The advertised benefits of genetically modified food misrepresent both the safety and necessity of the procedure. Genetic engineering is more like a virus infection than a normal breeding process, and “substantially equivalent” is a myth that hides the highly mutagenic process of genetic engineering and its epigenetic consequences to health.

    Rather than encouraging independent research on genetically modified organisms (GMO) safety or performance, the companies (such as Monsanto and other GMO seed producers) have denied access to the seed for research, a forbidden publication of data, and threatened legal action if negative data are disclosed. Rather than the way to feed the world, current genetic engineering is a disaster in the making and is not a sustainable strategy!

    Dr. Huber is Professor Emeritus of Plant Pathology at Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN. He received B.S. and M.S. degrees from the University of Idaho (1957, 1959), a Ph-D from Michigan State University (1963), and is a graduate of the US Army Command &amp; General Staff College and Industrial College of the Armed Forces. He was Cereal Pathologist at the University of Idaho for 8 years before joining the Department of Botany & Plant Pathology at Purdue University in 1971.

    His agricultural research the past 50 years has focused on the epidemiology and control of soilborne plant pathogens with emphasis on microbial ecology, cultural and biological controls, and physiology of host-parasite relationships. Research also includes nitrogen metabolism, micronutrient physiology, inhibition of nitrification, and nutrient-disease interactions.

    In addition to his academic positions and research, Dr. Huber has had several concurrent careers including 14 years as a professional labor-relations mediator with 7 years service on the Indiana Education Employment Relations Board as a Mediatory/Fact Finder/Conciliator, and served 12 years on two school boards with recognition as a Master Board Member from the Indiana School Board Association and Honesty in Public Service Award from Taxpayers United For Fairness. He retired in 1995 as Associate Director of the Armed Forces Medical Intelligence Center (Colonel) after 41+ years of active and reserve military service.

    He has received various awards for his scientific accomplishments and contributions to government.

     

    2019 Legislative Recap & Citizens Guide To Protecting Health Freedoms

    Miste Karlfeldt, Executive Director of Health Freedom Idaho

    Welcome to our valued attendees, speakers, and exhibitors. Miste will also discuss 2019 Legislative Session’s events and how laws and trends could affect yours and your family’s health and freedoms. She will introduce several new groups that have developed under Health Freedom Idaho.

    Miste Karlfeldt is an entrepreneur, mother of four and founder of Health Freedom Idaho.  Seeking relief from an autoimmune disease that left her bedridden, Karlfeldt traveled to the Mayo clinic from Idaho, only to be told she would need 3 years of chemotherapy. She sought out a second opinion from a practitioner of naturopathic medicine and then began undergoing the modalities of treatment he recommended. Just as she was experiencing an amazing recovery (without toxic chemotherapy), Idaho lawmakers considered legislation to limit access to natural medicine. Still in pain, she shuffled through the halls of the Idaho Legislature meeting with lawmakers to tell her story. It was then she woke up to her true purpose and passion.  Her calling is to empower the citizens of Idaho by advocating for their health freedoms. She does this work by leading Health Freedom Idaho, a non-profit organization, which educates Idahoans about the laws and factors impacting their right to access the healing health care treatment, information, and services of their choice.

  • Opposition to Requirement for Immunization Rules

    Why are parents opposed to the vaccine requirements IDAPA 16.02.15 and 16.02.11 in Idaho? It has to do with the FINE PRINT and a parent’s responsibility. We the parents, expect you, as official representatives of the Idaho government, to protect parental rights to make informed decisions on behalf of our children. 

    Add your voice to the hundreds of others who are demanding that informed consent and parental rights be preserved in Idaho. Email your legislators and the Health Department regarding the Rules 16.02.15 and 16.02.11 demand that they be repealed or at very least be changed from requirements/mandates to recommendations. 

    IDAPA 16.02.15 and 16.02.11, Requirements for Immunizations. These rules violate informed consent, bodily autonomy, parental rights, medical privacy, and doctor-patient privilege. These rules are routinely abused to coerce parents into believing that they are mandated by an executive agency to subject their children to a medical procedure to participate in public school. This is coercion.

    These rules aim to deny my parental responsibility, the most important job in the world, to protect my children and make decisions on their behalf attempting to intimidate and coerce my informed consent. Regardless of your stance on vaccination, no government, even under the most supreme intentions, should attempt to circumvent parental responsibility.

    The authors of these rules must understand the indications of requiring a medical procedure for all minor children in the state of Idaho. The US Supreme Court has ruled that vaccinations have “unavoidable adverse side effects” (US Code § 300aa–22) and many parents have had the heartbreaking, truly unfortunate and life-altering experience of watching their children endure these adverse reactions. In fact, over 4 BILLION dollars have been paid out to victims of vaccine-induced adverse reactions by the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP) which administers a no-fault system for litigating vaccine injury claims.

    Consider this: What if you were taking a medication that your doctor swore up and down was 100 percent safe and effective for everyone, all the time, and then you read some legal documents that declared there were billions of dollars paid out in settlements for injuries, including for some deaths, to the parents of children and babies who took that exact drug? Then, what if you found out that the manufacturers of that drug were totally exempt from responsibility, and that they did not even have to test the drug properly for safety or efficacy in the first place?

    I want to make sure that is clear. Health and welfare, through these rules, is coercing parents to subject their children to medical procedures that have been proven to have “unavoidable adverse side effects” that have resulted in over 4 billion dollars being paid out to victims, not by the vaccine manufacturers, but by the US government vaccine court with tax-payer money, because the US government has decided that the manufacturers cannot be held liable for maiming or killing their customers.

    An executive agency, such as Health and Welfare, has no business marketing and mandating any product, let alone liability-free products.

    According to the package inserts that accompany each vaccine, the following are listed by the manufacturers as potential adverse reactions to the vaccines currently available for each of the diseases mentioned by name in IDAPA 16.02.15 and 16.02.11:

    • Immune system disorders: Anaphylactic reaction, hypersensitivity reaction, angioedema, bronchial spasm
    • Nervous system disorders: Paranesthesia, Guillain-Barre syndrome, encephalitis, encephalopathy, measles inclusion body encephalitis (MIBE), subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE), brachial neuritis, facial palsy, convulsions, syncope, myelitis, somnolence, irritability, agitation, seizures, febrile seizures, Bell’s palsy, lethargy, convulsions, dizziness, malaise, ataxia, polyneuritis, polyneuropathy, ocular palsies, paresthesia
    • Digestive system disorders: Anorexia, diarrhea, vomiting, elevation of liver enzymes, pancreatitis, parotitis, nauseaRespiratory disorders: Upper respiratory infection, pneumonia, pneumonitis, rhinorrhea, cough, rhinitis
    • Cardiovascular disorders: Myocarditis, Tachycardia, syncope, vasculitis
    • Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders: Pruritus, urticaria, angioedema, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, erythema multiforme
    • Hematologic disorders: Thrombocytopenia, lymphadenopathy, increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate, purpura, leukocytosis
    • Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders: Myositis, muscle spasm, arthritis, arthralgia, myalgiaSpecial senses: Conjunctivitis, visual disturbances, nerve deafness, otitis media, retinitis, optic neuritis, papillitis, retrobulbar neuritis
    • Endocrine system: Diabetes mellitus
    • Urogenital system: Epididymitis, orchitis
    • General disorders and administration site conditions: Large injection site reactions, extensive limb swelling from the injection site beyond one or both joints, injection site bruising, sterile abscess, pain, rash, erythema, peripheral edema
    • Other: Death

    I don’t presume that you know what each of these adverse reactions entail nor do I expect you to painstakingly agonize over them – researching the diseases and their symptoms and the vaccines and their adverse reactions, weighing the risks and the benefits, interviewing parents with vaccine injured children, discussing the potential outcomes with my pediatrician, delving into VAERS reports, discovering, reading, re-reading, and comparing peer reviewed vaccine studies (and noting the lack thereof) – because that’s my job.

    Because these are my children.

    They are my responsibility.

    This is my decision.

    I do, however, expect you, as an official representative of the Idaho government, to protect parental rights to make informed decisions on behalf of their children.

    Rules 16.02.15 and 16.02.11 must be stricken or at very least amended to reflect a “recommendation” rather than a requirement or mandate.

    Respectfully,

    An Idahoan Mother

  • Standing Room Only at Public Hearing for Health and Welfare Rules

    What an amazing turn out in North Idaho today!  So many brave moms and dads.  I’m so thankful for all of you.  Watching all of you fight for your babies today bring me to tears. In that roomful, only 1 person spoke for the “rules”. It was an employee of the system! All the rest were a united bunch! Great speeches!

    Hari Heath I was very impressed by the competent knowledge of the subject so many had; how we came at it from so many angles without being redundant; one set of facts became backed up someone else’s direct experience and how resoundingly cohesive this group of individuals was.
    We couldn’t have done better with a producer and a script!

    Public speaking can pretty nerve-wracking for many.  But you all got up there and just spoke from your heart, respectfully but without mincing words.  It was stressful and no one really wanted to do it but we do because there’s nothing we won’t do for our children.  And we know if we don’t speak today, tomorrow may be too late.

    This Saturday was a very sobering reminder to me of the cost some of our children have already paid and those who ultimately lost their lives, as I ran into my friend Shelly.  Some of you may recognize her from Pilgrim’s.  Her family paid the ultimate price, along w 3 other families in North Idaho and a total of 11 families between here and Spokane just in the same month her Vance died.  

    This is why we do what we do.  For babies like Vance and so our children or anyone’s children never again have to suffer the devastating destruction that vaccines can cause.

    This is Shelly’s story:

    Can’t attend a hearing? YOU HAVE UNTIL THE END OF THE MONTH TO BE COUNTED!!

    here’s a link to the email addresses – below a sample of copy and paste for vaccine mandates opposition. Add your own text (or don’t) your voice counts.

    https://mailchi.mp/healthfreedomidaho/beheard

    According to an article in Idahoednews – Health and Welfare is also getting emails on the issue, but in this case, the headcount is quite different. While 28 Idahoans argued against immunization rules, 62 Idahoans urged Health and Welfare to keep the rules in place, Nathan Brown of the Idaho Falls Post Register reported.

    • Let’s do this!! Do you agree that Idaho should have vaccine requirements = mandates?
    • Do you think that parents should be fully informed of exemptions available?
    • Do you think that it should take more than 12 people to decided the fate of 30,000 students to receive another shot of meningitis before graduation?
    • Do you think that they should be allowed to change the wording of the rules – to ‘student’ with the intent to include ADULT STUDENTS in their mandates?
    • Do you have 5 minutes to send an email?! Do you think you should make time?!

    I OPPOSE  IDAPA 16.02.15 and 16.02.11 Requirements for Immunizations

    36 required school vaccinations

    31 required daycare vaccines (by the age of 2)

    These rules violate informed consent, bodily autonomy, parental rights, medical privacy, and doctor-patient privilege.These rules represent a clear violation of human rights as they go beyond the scope of the law and seek to coerce and bully parents into compliance. Forcing the injection of liability-free medical products into an individual in order to participate in education in public and private schools and participate in private business via daycares.

    • Rules 16.02.15 and 16.02.11 must be stricken or at very least amended to reflect a “recommendation” rather than a requirement/mandate. The Health and Welfare Department must be more transparent and specify that exemptions are available.

    16.02.11 Meningitis for 12th graders for school year 2020/2021

    Additional Meningitis vaccination for 12th grade students

    This additional vaccine requirement was added for the 20-21 school year under the guise that it would protect potential college-bound students from the exceedingly rare disease that affects less than 400 individuals a year. The Health Department reports that LESS THAN 3 individuals annually in Idaho and NO reported students have been effected in the last decade. The CDC reports that 92% of the college students who got meningitis WERE VACCINATED with this vaccine. Not surprisingly, 99.9% of those who were in favor of the vaccine at public hearings stood to gain financially from the newest Idaho vaccine mandate.The parents of the 30,000 students a year who are now mandated to receive an additional vaccine are not being provided true Informed Consent. (Meningitis Facts)

    • Additional Vaccination Mandate must be stricken or at very least amended to reflect a “recommendation” rather than a requirement/mandate. The Health and Welfare Department must be more transparent and specify that exemptions are available.
  • What Happens When You Experience Stress?

    Everyone experiences stress in their daily lives. It’s part of what makes you alive. And while your body’s response to stressors can help you in times of danger, it can also quickly snowball out of control.

    What Happens When You Experience Stress?

    When faced with a stressful situation, the body releases chemicals and hormones like cortisol to stimulate action. You may experience a rapid heart rate, labored breathing, elevated blood pressure, and tense muscles. This is useful in situations where you may be in immediate danger or you have to act fast.

    Many people are saddled with chronic stress in their lives. Unfortunately, your body is simply not designed to withstand the symptoms of stress over the long term. Elevated cortisol levels from stress can wreak havoc on your health, contributing to diabetes, high blood pressure, and a number of other chronic conditions.

    Stress can also cause tension headaches. These can keep you from spending quality time with your family and participating in activities you enjoy. That can lead to increased stress, which will compound the problem.

    Be Aware of Your Stress Triggers

    Some things that seem stressful to you may not cause your best friend to think twice. Identify the situations, people, or times that cause you to feel most stressed. Once you know what these triggers are, work to avoid them when possible.

    Conquer Stress Naturally

    Of course, you can’t always avoid stress. Luckily, stress doesn’t have to define you or your mood. Be prepared the next time it comes knocking on your door with one of these seven natural ways to relieve stress.

    1. Reduce Caffeine Intake

    Caffeine raises cortisol levels and acts as a stimulant on the body. This can easily exacerbate the symptoms of stress like elevated blood pressure and heart rate. High levels of caffeine can lead to chronically elevated cortisol levels.

    2. Get Moving

    Regular exercise is one surefire way to help moderate moods and combat the effects of stress. You don’t have to go all out, either. Simply taking a walk can help regulate your body and return stress levels to normal.

    Aim to get around 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days. Don’t beat your self up if you skip a day or two, just work to get back on track.

    A side bonus of exercise is that it can help relieve symptoms of some health conditions, like high blood pressure and uncontrolled blood sugar, that are brought on by chronic stress.

    3. Practice Gratitude

    Don’t just say thank you, but really learn to appreciate the world around you. Take time to recognize the beauty of nature, appreciate the friends and family you have, and acknowledge the many things you have worked hard to earn.

    The simple act of turning your attention to the amazing bounty you are surrounded with every day can help take the edge off when things don’t go quite the way you had hoped. Try making a simple gratitude jar that you can fill throughout the week. Each time you pass it, add a small stone or marble to the jar and say or think of something you are grateful for. As your jar fills up you will have a chance to actually see how much you have to be grateful for.

    4. Try Aromatherapy

    Certain smells can make you feel happy, sad, energized, or relaxed. Aromatherapists have known these secrets for many years, but more people are finding the benefits of adding specific scents to their environment.

    Soothing lavender or lemon balm are excellent choices to help combat stress. Some people find the uplifting scents of lemon, Bergamot, and other citruses to be helpful as well. If you are unsure about what scent to try, consider using a pre-blended formula. Some companies offer blends designed to soothe, relax, or uplift, and you are sure to find one that works for you.

    5. Take a Deep Breath

    Meditation and focused breathing have been shown to reduce stress and lower cortisol levels naturally. Consider learning a basic meditation technique to help regulate your response to stress. If you’re not quite ready to try meditation, deep breathing can also be effective.

    6. Chew Gum

    There is evidence that chewing gum can lower cortisol levels, particularly during stressful situations. Since cortisol is responsible for the body’s physical reaction to stress, chewing gum may help return your body to a calmer, more relaxed state. So, the next time you are experiencing a stressful situation, reach for a piece of gum to chew your way to a better mood.

    7. Find Strength in Numbers

    Social interaction is a fun and easy way to combat anxiety and depression that can result from feeling stressed. Call a few friends and make plans to get together. And who knows? You may realize things aren’t so bad as you talk them through and lean on your friends for support.

    A little stress can be good. Chronic stress, however, can lead to a host of health and other problems. Find your balance by using one of these seven natural ways to relieve stress in your life.

  • 7 Health Benefits of CBD Oil

    If you have never used CBD oil, then you may have heard about it through a friend or the media. CBD oil is usually made by extracting CBD from the cannabis plant and then diluting it with oil like coconut or hemp seed oil. Click here to find more information about it. CBD oil is a product that is making milestones in the health sector. It is because it has numerous advantages and healing abilities. Before we embark on those benefits, let us first discuss CBD.

    What is CBD?

    Image result for cbd health benefits

    Image

    CBD (cannabidiol) is a derivative of the marijuana plant. The two most common strains of the cannabis plant are Indica and Sativa. The indica strain has higher CBD counts. While it is a component of marijuana, CBD does get you high. The ingredient responsible for psychoactive effects is THC. (Tetrahydrocannabinol). The main difference between these two components is  the differences in the way they interact with the cannabinoid receptors as one gives you that high feeling while the other does not. According to the world health organization, CBD does not exhibit dependence related complications.

    That said, let’s now focus on the health benefits of CBD Oil

    1. Pain Relieving Properties

    When people talk about CBD oil, one of the benefits sure to come up is the pain-relieving property of CBD Oil. The human body has a specialized system known as the endocannabinoid system. This system is responsible for regulating various functions such as appetite, sleep, immune system response and pain. The endocannabinoids produced in the body act as transmitters and bind to the receptors in your nervous system. It causes an anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effect, thus pain management. Studies have shown that CBD oil may minimize inflammation, pain, and overall discomfort caused by various health complications. Recent studies show CBD oil offers hope for relief from arthritis pain.

    2. Ease Cancer-Related symptoms

    It is quite early to point out CBD as an option to treat cancer. However, reviews prove that the use of CBD may be useful in managing symptoms occurring due to cancer or its treatment. Some studies on mice have shown a reduction in cancerous tumours upon the introduction of CBD oil. Most studies carried on humans involve the role CBD oil plays in reducing pain brought by cancer and cancer treatment. According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), CBD oil may be a possible option for alleviating symptoms related to chemotherapy.

    3. Reduce Acne

    What perfect way would you seek to end that irritating acne than ordering your CBD oil product from online Dispensary Canada

    Recent research indicates that CBD may be one of the newest anti-inflammatory drugs with promising potential in the market. CBD oil is known to alter the production of oil within the skin by interfering with the functioning of the sebocytes, the cells that produce sebum. Among the indicators of acne are dryness and roughness. The overproduction of oil in the skin stimulates acne. Thus, CBD is a great way to fight acne.

    4. Neuroprotective Properties

    CBD oil serves to protect the nerve cells against degeneration, damage or function impairment. This is due to its combination of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. CBD can influence the working of the endocannabinoid system and other systems coordinating the functioning of the brain. These benefits are essential for those suffering from neurological disorders. Most of the studies are focusing on treating complex motor disorders such as multiple sclerosis and epilepsy. 

    A study on 214 people with severe epilepsy showed that with the introduction of CBD oil, the seizures reduced significantly at a median of 36.5%. Also, the use of CBD reduces seizures in children with Dravet Syndrome. Furthermore, CBD oil leads to improvement of sleep quality for those with Parkinson’s disease. CBD also hinders the progression of Alzheimer’s disease on animal and test-tube studies.

    5. Reduces Anxiety and Depression

    According to the World Health Organization, depression is the leading cause of disability in the world. Anxiety disorder, on the other hand, is the sixth leading cause of disability. Don’t we all hate those moments of uncertainty and undecidedness? Well, CBD does reduce anxiety and depression. This is because of its ability to act upon the brain’s receptors for serotonin, which is a neurotransmitter that regulates social behavior and mood. A study in 2010 found that CBD could reduce symptoms in people with a social anxiety disorder. According to research published in 2014, CBD has anti-anxiety and antidepressant effects.

    6. Cardiovascular Health

    Keeping our cardiovascular health and smooth running is essential as it plays some vital roles. Among these roles include the transportation of oxygen, hormones and nutrients throughout the body. Also, it helps to regulate our body temperature. The white blood cells and antibodies which are found in the cardiovascular system protects our body from infections. According to the Centers for disease control and prevention,  about one in every three US adults has hypertension. 

    High blood pressure increases the risk of succumbing to a heart attack and stroke. According to a study, CBD lowers high blood pressure. Also, CBD is useful in treating stress-related cardiovascular disorders. Additionally, several animal examinations show that CBD may minimize the cell death and inflammation associated with heart diseases. This is due to its powerful antioxidant and stress-reduction properties.

    7. Other Health Benefits of CBD Oil

    Other than the health benefits above, CBD oil plays a role in treating some health issues. These health issues include:

    • Anti-tumour effects- a 2016 research indicated that the use of CBD curtails the growth of tumour cells in both animal models and test tubes

    • Antipsychotic effects- studies suggest that CBD may be useful to people with schizophrenia and other mental disorders to reduce psychotic symptoms. It is according to a survey carried out on animal models and in healthy volunteers.

    • Substance abuse-treatment- recent studies indicate that CBD may be useful in treating drug addiction. It reduces heroine-seeking behaviour and morphine dependence.

    Conclusion

    Above are just some of the numerous benefits of CBD oil. A word of caution would be to do an intensive research on CBD oil before embarking on the journey to use them. Be keen to go through the side effects and also consult your doctor where you need clarification, especially if you are under medication.

  • School’s Lack of Disclosure is Coercion

    We expect our schools to teach our children knowledge of reading and writing. We expect the campus to be free from bullying. We expect the schools to enforce the community standards of respect and telling the truth. And yet, when parents enroll their children into school these standards are ignored by administration and staff. Parents are lied to by omission which is lying. They are bullied and harassed. The full disclosure of the law is ignored. Citizens brought forth a bill that would require the health department and school administration to provide full disclosure of the law. This bill passed the House with a vote of 52 to 17. Yes, 17 representatives believed that coercion at the hands of the health department and schools is acceptable. ) However, due to the structure of our legislature ONE MAN stopped this bill from being heard in the Senate. The power of the Chairman of the Health Committee used his personal opinion in favor of vaccines to keep this informed consent bill from being put to a vote. Senator Fred Martin believes the out right lies of the marketing campaigns via the health department and the school’s administrative policies is appropriate. 

    One mom writes: 

    I was registering my son for kindergarten today (his only partial year of public school before he will be homeschooled). I noticed this passage and the way it was worded when I was filling out his registration paperwork. I came with his vaccine exemption form in hand already filled out, which they accepted. I was really bothered by the fact that we have the right to waive vaccines, and yet they write to parents that by law they have to have their vaccinations. This is wrong. They should say something like, “It is Idaho State Law that you must have complete immunization records or an Idaho School Immunization Exemption Form to register your child for school.”

    I listened to moms coming in worried that they didn’t have vaccination records and the school never gave them the option to waive. 

    If it is our right to waive, why is this not disclosed as part of proper informed consent?

     – Concerned Mom

    Dear Senators and Representatives – If it is our right to waive, why is this not disclosed as part of proper informed consent?

    A hearing last year to require school to give complete information on the law that includes vaccine exemptions for medical, religious and other reasons Senators advised that parents should try to inform one another. The vote against a measure of informed consent allows the school’s are allowed to deceive, lie, and bully parents by failing to inform parents of their full rights under Idaho statue. 

    The CITIZENS want schools to tell the truth, full disclosure. NO MORE BULLYING! This is outright coercing parents with inadequate information on the actual state statute. It should NOT be the responsibility of the citizen to inform one another of the schools deceiptful tatics. It should be the responsibility of the tax supported schools and state Health departments to be accountable to the LAW. 

    Why? Because school officials have said, their goal is increased vaccination rates. Our schools rank at the bottom of education for the United States. Our school system is failing our children. The focus of the school should be to improve knowledge, reading and math and sciences. They should NOT be involved in the medical affairs of families. These decisions should be left between doctor and parent and not be coerced by school officials. 

    WHY WOULD OUR POLITICIANS VOTE AGAINST CITIZENS INFORMED CONSENT? 

    HOUSE BILL 133 

    Amends existing law to require that complete information regarding immunization exemptions be given by daycare facilities and schools to parents or guardians enrolling children.

    Those who voted against the citizen include: 

    Berch, Chew, Davis, Erpelding, Gannon, Green(18), Kauffman, Kerby, Mason, McCrostie, Raybould, Rubel, Smith, Toone, Wagoner, Wintrow, Wood

    Invoking your Vaccine Exemption

    Parents have the right to vaccine exemption with a signed statement from parents. (PRINTABLE COPY) 

     To Whom It May Concern:

    Persuant to Idaho Code 39-4802(2) (Title 39, Chapter 48, Section 2, Number 2) and The Privacy Rule of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996, 45 CFR Part 160 and Subparts A and E of Part 164, I object to the vaccine reporting requirements and invoke my right to be exempt from the provisions of 39-4801 Idaho Code for personal and family reasons and ‘other grounds’ in regard to and on behalf of my minor child, (Child’s First and Last Name).

    This statement supersedes any and all previous forms or statements made in regard to this matter.

    ___________________________________
    (Parent First and Last Name)
    Parent /Guardian /Custodian

    Idaho Code 39-4802(2):
    Any minor child whose parent or guardian has submitted a signed statement to school officials stating their objections on religious or other grounds shall be exempt from the provisions of this chapter.


    SCHOOLS BULLY PARENTS! This is NOT a isolated incident. Please see coercive material given to parents across the state.

    It’s another example of lying by omission. In fact it’s just lying. “No child shall attend school without proof of immunization status” is a lie. They are funded with public money, State law applies to them.

  • Our Public Health System Is Failing

    Public Health Departments established with the intent to improve the health standards of the citizens of the US but instead are failing the 327 million people who live in this country. Unfortunately now public health prioritizes profit over people. Our communities get increasingly more ill while pharmaceutical profits increase exponentially. Anyone who takes the time to look at the big picture understands that this is true. These thoughtful words from Jennifer Margulis via Facebook

    This is what PUBLIC HEALTH has brought us: 

    • ❌ Toxic water in Flint, Michigan
    • ❌ An addiction crisis that results in 70,000 drug overdose deaths per year, nearly 70% from opioids
    • ❌ Some 600,000 unnecessary C-sections a year  
    • ❌ One of the highest maternal mortality rates of any industrialized country
    • ❌ 23 million Americans suffering from autoimmune conditions  
    • ❌ 1 in 36 children with ASD
    • ❌ Suicide rates rising, especially among young people and medical doctors , and a life expectancy rate that has fallen (slightly but enough to be considered statistically significant) for the past 3 years.

    ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️

    Public Health prioritizes profits over people, resulting in one of the most bloated vaccine schedules in the world.

    I love America. We all want the same thing: our children and our planet to survive and thrive. It pains me to see so many parents suffering because their children have environmentally induced iatrogenic brain and immune system damage.

    Public Health is failing the 327 million people who live in this country. Anyone who takes the time to look at the big picture understands that this is true.

    Having concerns about the CDC’s current childhood vaccine recommendations isn’t about being anti-vaccine. It’s about being in favor of children’s health, evidence-based medicine, science, and intact brains.

     Journalists, it’s time to report fairly and accurately on this topic.

    Politicians, responding to the failure of Public Health by trying to force for-profit medicine on every family is absurd.

    ‍⚕️ ‍⚕️ Doctors, enough already. Come out of the closet. We need you to fight for our children not for Big Pharma.
