  • The Effects of MSG

    Science proving MSG is dangerous. Many people immediately sensitive to MSG. It can interrupt the hormonal and biological development of many children. Research on the dangers of MSG continues to mount, albeit slowly. Some contend that funding for such projects is inevitably sparse. After all, why would the food industry (which funds most of these sorts of research ventures) want to spend money proving the detrimental effects of one of its chief money makers?

    There are a growing number of people who report immediate, adverse reactions within minutes eating MSG. Perhaps you’re one of those people? Or, maybe you know someone sensitive to it?

    Typical MSG complaints include:

    • burning sensations of the mouth, head, and neck, (1)
    • a weakness of the arms or legs, (1)
    • headaches, (1)
    • upset stomach, (1)
    • hives or other allergic-type reactions with the skin. (2)Double-blind studies on the effects of MSG have been done. These are studies where neither the participants nor the ones administering the study know who consumed MSG. Everything’s randomized and controlled by researchers a step removed from the process.

    And, guess what? Even these double-blind studies also found that MSG exposure caused muscle tightness, fatigue, numbness or tingling, and flushing in sensitive people. (3) 

    The effects of MSG are cumulative. Just because you don’t react to MSG now, doesn’t mean you won’t later. 

    According to Dr. Russell Blaylock, who wrote a book on the subject called Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills, sensitivity to MSG builds up in our bodies until we reach what he calls our “threshold of sensitivity.”

    Neurotransmitters in the brain regulate our moods, emotions, behavior, thoughts, memory, energy, pain, perception, cognitive functioning, and ability to focus. Cynthia Perkins

    MSG overstimulates our nervous system — exciting our nerves and causing an inflammatory response. 

    With time, these repetitive inflammatory responses cause our nerves to start producing more and more nerve cells that are sensitive to this kind of stimulation. The more overly-sensitive nerve cells we have, the stronger our immediate response to MSG will be. (4)

    MSG hides in more than 40 other FDA-approved ingredients. Because the manufacturer didn’t add an ingredient called “monosodium glutamate,” they can “truthfully” claim “No MSG added” on their label. Yet, nothing is stopping them from adding ingredients that contain MSG. In that case, the manufacturer only has to list the name of the actual ingredient added, not the ingredients within those ingredients.

    So, they can say a food includes “spices” or “flavorings” when that spice mix includes MSG. They can say the food includes “yeast extract” or “hydrolized soy protein” without telling you that the process of creating those ingredients also creates processed free glutamic acids (also known as MSG).

  • Why Poison the Lawn When You Can Have Wildflowers At Your Feet

    Wildflower seeds are carried on the wind, on the coats of wild animals and in the digestive tracts of birds. Anybody who’s paying attention would see them for the gifts they are: flowers that arrive, through no effort at all, to feed the bees and the butterflies.

    But Americans generally aren’t paying attention. Too enraptured with the idea of a lawn that unrolls from the street to their very door, a carpet of green that remains green even when grass is supposed to be dormant, they see these homely little wildflowers as intruders, something to be eradicated.

    Maybe the whole question seems like nothing more than a matter of personal preference — I like wildflowers, and other people like grass. To each her own. That would be a fair assessment of the situation if grass grew naturally under shade trees in suburbia and if homeowners killed the unwanted plants in their yards by pulling them up or mowing them down.

    Neither is true. Grass requires a lot of chemicals and a lot of water to thrive. The wildflower seeds that are carried on the wind to my uncultivated yard are also carried on the wind to my neighbors’ highly cultivated grass. Instead of weeding, it’s easier to use chemicals to keep seeds from germinating, and to kill the ones that germinate anyway with more chemicals still.

    But let’s be clear here: “Chemical” is just another way of saying “poison.” 

    Have you ever wandered down the yard-care aisles at a big-box store? Giant bags of fertilizer and gallon jugs of Roundup are stacked warehouse floor to warehouse ceiling, and the foul chemical stink they emit, even in sealed packages, will give you a headache if you linger long.

    No surprise, the chemicals that give you a headache in Home Depot are bad for the environment, too. Fertilizer runoff ends up in our waterways, causing algae blooms that starve fish and other aquatic wildlife of oxygen. Pesticides and herbicides end up there, too, but first they poison us.

    Last week, a federal jury ordered Monsanto, the maker of Roundup to pay $2 billion in damages to a couple who both had cancer. Last month, a federal jury ordered Monsanto, the maker of Roundup, to pay $80 million in damages to a California man with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a form of cancer. It was the third time an American jury had found for a plaintiff with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and Bayer, which now owns Monsanto, has once again vowed to appeal. This could be the beginning of the end for Monsanto’s carcinogenic product that dominates the market as more juries hear how Monsanto manipulated its own research, colluded with regulators and intimidated scientists to keep secret the cancer risks from glyphosate.

    Nature has been trying to make this point for a while now. Next time you walk around a suburban neighborhood, take a mental wildlife census of the yards you pass. What you’ll invariably find is that the pristine lawns have almost no insects living there — no bees or butterflies, no beetles, no grasshoppers or crickets, no lacewings, no spiders, no roly-polys. And where there are no insects, there are also no tree frogs, no toads, no turtles, no bats, no songbirds. A staggering 96 percent of songbirds, even those that subsist on seeds and berries as adults, rely on insects to feed their young: A growing body needs protein, and for birds the best source of protein is a bug. And birds don’t know when a bug is sick with poison.

    We tend to think of nature in terms of its resilience. A rat snake eats all the redbird babies, and the parents build another nest somewhere else and try again. A tree dies in the forest, and all the little woodland creatures make a feast of the insects that live in the deadwood.

    But just because we can’t see something doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. We hear birds singing in springtime, and we assume that all is well, despite our chemicals, despite the heat we are generating with our fossil fuels, despite the forests we are laying waste to. 

    But we are wrong: The North American bird population is in steep decline, and the news is even worse for insects and amphibians: “Apocalypse” is the word scientists most often use to describe what’s happening to those populations.

    Gerard Manley Hopkins didn’t live to see the havoc wreaked by the chemicals that poison us now, but he knew something about the vulnerability of the natural world:

    What would the world be, once bereft
    Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left,
    O let them be left, wildness and wet;
    Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.

    As individuals, we too often feel powerless in the face of the corporate and political forces that drive our culture, but in this matter we are not powerless. We can change our preferences and train our eyes to see the “perfect” American lawn for what it is: a field of poison. We can put away our chemicals, make a haven of our own yards and welcome the wildflowers.

  • Federal Bill Introduced To Coerce All Americans into “Voluntary” Vaccination Compliance

    Government is a force. When it finds that soft force doesn’t work, it becomes more aggressive. Having found itself unable to scare and/or coerce all Americans into “voluntary” vaccination compliance, now Congress has before it a bill titled the “ Vaccinate All Children Act of 2019.” Of course, this requirement is being done “in the public interest” and “for the greater good.”

    The federal government imposing economic sanctions against the states. Denial of health care funding. And then there are the pediatricians denying children medical care if they are not vaccinated to the pediatricians’ liking.

    It would accomplish the task of vaccinating all children by withholding federal funds from public elementary and secondary schools that enroll students who are not vaccinated according to recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.
    Of course, children are required by law to attend school, and most children attend public schools. And people are forced to fund those schools whether they have children attending them or not. Opting out of the public indoctrination camps passing as public schools requires jumping through special hoops and/or forking over large sums of cash to a private school.


    And who sits on the Advisory Committee that sets the recommendations? Why, it’s health professionals who benefit — either directly or indirectly – from vaccination programs. And some get thousands of dollars from drug makers like Pfizer, Merck and GlaxoSmithKline for “consulting” and “speaking” fees. One member, Marietta Vazquez, M.D., pocketed more than $20,000 for three speeches. 

    Why is Representative Wilson is sponsoring this bill?  Well the pharmaceutical company has a former employee as her current staffer. 

    Even if they worked and were without risk, vaccines only stimulate temporary immunity. By trading lifelong immunity for temporary vaccine-induced immunity, people become vaccine dependent. 

    The winners of repeated mandatory vaccinations are pharmaceutical companies. The losers are the people, who are first put at risk as children for vaccine adverse events and then put at risk as adults for repeated vaccinations that have already failed. The pharmaceuticals have discovered a money machine in mass vaccinations. But they need and have to have your body for the pretense.


    The development of asthma, diabetes, and autism in children has increased substantially in the last four decades, coinciding with a significant increase in childhood immunizations. People are finally recognizing the link and questioning Big Pharma, and more and more are beginning to “opt out.”


    Public awareness has been manipulated. 

    Why does no one question the authority of injecting agents of unknown toxicity into their body? Unbelievably, the general public is satisfied with the disinformation provided by the government. In an effort to curb the hard truth that vaccine can and do cause damage and disability Representatives in Congress are calling for the censorship of information. Private organizations are encouraged to filter out those who question the safety and effectiveness of vaccines. 

    Facebook Burys Truth, Deletes Alternative News Groups and Censors Speech

    Youtube deletes channels, ETSY removes products, Amazon quits selling books that don’t line up with the mantra that vaccines are safe and effective. Even with $4 BILLION paid out in vaccine damages to families who have lost loved ones to permanent disability and death. Even when the vaccine injury reporting shows 100,000’s of reports of damage and injury as a result of vaccinations. 

    We saw this bill die before. But, they are turning up the heat. Unfortunately, now is the wrong time for apathy. We are on the verge of a vaccine mania and by the time our wakeup call comes, it just may be too late. 

    HELP US FIGHT AGAINST VACCINE MANDATES. DONATE TODAY.

  • $2 Billion Verdict Against Monsanto/Bayer for Cancer Causing RoundUp Product

    A jury in Oakland, California, has awarded a couple $2 billion in punitive damages after concluding that sustained exposure to Monsanto Co.’s popular Roundup weed killer led to their cancer diagnoses. The couple will receive an additional $55 million for pain and suffering and to cover medical expenses. This is the third case the courts ruled that Monsanto’s product caused cancer in an individual. The court also found that Monsanto spent millions of dollars on covert public relations campaigns to finance ghostwritten studies and articles aimed at discrediting independent scientists whose work found dangers with Monsanto’s herbicides. 

    “The cloud hanging over Bayer will only grow bigger and darker, as more juries hear how Monsanto manipulated its own research, colluded with regulators and intimidated scientists to keep secret the cancer risks from glyphosate.” 

    R. Brent Wisner, said in a statement sent to CBS News. “Instead of investing in sound science, they invested millions in attacking science that threatened their business agenda.”

    A jury in Oakland, California, has awarded a couple $2 billion in punitive damages after concluding that sustained exposure to Monsanto Co.’s popular Roundup weed killer led to their cancer diagnoses. The couple will receive an additional $55 million for pain and suffering and to cover medical expenses. 

    (Press Conference)

    Among the many revelations that have emerged from the trials:

    • Monsanto never conducted epidemiology studies for Roundup and its other formulations made with the active ingredient glyphosate to evaluate the cancer risks for users.
    • Monsanto was aware that the surfactants in Roundup were much more toxic than glyphosate alone.
    •  Monsanto spent millions of dollars on covert public relations campaigns to finance ghostwritten studies and articles aimed at discrediting independent scientists whose work found dangers with Monsanto’s herbicides.
    • When the US Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry sought to evaluate glyphosate toxicity in 2015, Monsanto engaged the assistance of EPA officials to delay that review.
    • Monsanto enjoyed a close relationship with certain officials within the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), who have repeatedly backed Monsanto’s assertions about the safety of its glyphosate products.
    • The company internally had worker safety recommendations that called for wearing a full range of protective gear when applying glyphosate herbicides, but did not warn the public to do the same.

    Cancer causing RoundUp used in Residential Landscaping

    Seventy-six-year-old Alva and 74-year-old Alberta Pilliod used Roundup for about 30 years for residential landscaping, which the jury believed played a “substantial factor” in their development of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Alva was diagnosed in 2011; his wife, Alberta, received the same diagnosis four years later. They are both in remission.

    This is the third lawsuit related to Roundup that Monsanto has lost in the state of California. Wisner co-represented plaintiffs in the prior two lawsuits as well. In the first, school groundskeeper Dewayne “Lee” Johnson was ultimately awarded $78.5 million. Johnson was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2014 and regularly spraying a high-concentration version of Roundup known as Ranger Pro as part of his job from 2012 to 2016.

    A California federal court jury awarded more than $80 million to Edwin Hardeman, who was diagnosed with non-Hodgekin’s lymphoma in 2015. Hardeman had used Roundup for more than 25 years on his Sonoma property.

    “Finally,” wrote a Facebook com mentor, “we might just see all the cancer causing weed killer products off the shelf! Not just roundup, but all containing glyphosate!” 

    What About the Farmers

    As a state filled with agriculture as a main livelyhood we feel deeply for the vulnerable farmers who were sold the lies of Monsanto with GMO roundup ready seeds & pressured to use as well as the pre-harvest spraying of crops with Roundup to desiccate the crop for “easier” harvesting. We truly hope they are the next to be compensated! 

    How will our agriculture will find a way back from the lies & control of Monsanto? We believe it can with the support of the consumer!

  • Sweet Annabelle Dies 10 hours after 8 Vaccines

    Another baby lost, another family shattered. Annabelle’s mom recalls the last day with her daughter. 

    This was my dream come true, to be a mother, of a daughter, to name her Annabelle Lee, to breastfeed her, to have her as natural as I could, to bring her home all dressed up. For 15 months, I was blessed. So blessed… I wanted it all, the bad and the good, I wanted Annabelle to grow up, happy, but just grow up. Always been terrified of SIDS, I was very vigilant for 12 months, always checked her breathing, scared anything might happen. She never had a blanket, pillow, stuffed animals near her sleeping until she was well over 12 months. Hyper-vigilant, not like I am now, but normal new mom hyper vigilance.

    I did what I thought was right, vaccines. Because that’s what you do when you love your kids and you want them to be healthy, safe, alive. On November 26th she had 4 vaccines. MMR, DTaP, Chicken Pox and half of a Flu shot. 

    No fever, that I noticed that night. We went to target after. I always wanted a daughter to take to Target, to shop with. It’s my favorite store, and she loved going to. She was grouchy, rightfully so. They tell you they will be grouchy/sleepy. No fever so no medicine, no need for concern. She ate a corndog with me before she laid down to relax for the night and watch her cartoons. I went to the restroom. Then to clean her room.

    She was quiet, she was asleep. No sounds except the low sound of the cartoons. No cries, no whines, no groans, no screams, nothing. Nothing.

    It was 11 something, I felt in her packnplay at her diaper, it was wet. I picked her up, she was facedown. It all went so wrong so fast. I screamed for her dad.

    … she wasn’t breathing. But she was warm. I don’t recall any color even being gone from her face, she didn’t look dead. I called 911, we gave her CPR. 

    We caused vomit to come up, it was all over us. It was all over me, I still taste it. I will never ever get that taste out of my mouth. I ran outside. Her dad kept giving her CPR. I just laid outside in my driveway and screamed. A cop was trying to get me up, I couldn’t move. I saw her rushed from the house into an ambulance. She was missing a sock. I was missing a sock. I refuse to think that was just coincidence. We both lost our socks in the commotion.Shuffled us into this room at childrens, I just pushed myself up against a dresser. The nurse that came in was pregnant, and I was furious.

    It took forever. It might have only been 5 mins but it took forever for some doctor to come in. They tried to start her heart a few times, with adrenaline I think. It didn’t work. She was gone. They was nothing they could do.

    The first question I asked. Could shots have killed her? She just got shots.It’s not even been 10 hours since she got the shots, did the shots kill her? What happened!?

    That doctor lied to my face. Any doctor knows that vaccines can kill people. She didn’t know what had happened in her body, she just said no. She reassured me it wasn’t the shots. Again and again.

    To be honest, she made me feel stupid for even questioning the shots. Just like many doctors do. Thats the right thing to do, vaccines. The greater good, nothing bad happens, the risk is minimal. Lies, it’s all just a lie.

    The doctor said her fever was 114 degrees. So within 30 mins, she went from normal temperature, alive, to dead with a 114-degree temperature. 

    Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood is what they call it. SIDS for 12mo +. It’s a crapshoot, it’s a catchall.

    The death of a child is probably the most traumatic event any parent can experience. This tragedy is made worse if the child dies in its sleep, apparently for no reason. Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) inevitably strikes horror into parents’ hearts; 

    Truthfully, it’s lazy. That is what the coroner told me it was ruled as of that night. So I asked him. Was it the shots? He said, “It’s very suspicious she got shots and died so soon after, but I will not know anything until lab reports and tox screens come back”.  He doesn’t recall saying that, but I recall him saying that, perfectly to me.

    And she was gone. She didn’t just stop breathing in the middle of the night, she was killed by vaccines. Maybe too many, maybe just one was enough. But the vaccines killed my beautiful daughter.

  • Synergistic Toxicity in Vaccines

    Synergistic toxicity in vaccines.There are many who believe “The Problem” is Thimerosal. There are many who believe “The Problem” is the MMR vaccine.

    It’s neither.It’s both.And SO MUCH MORE.

    A baby is born. On day one, that baby receives the Vitamin K shot (not a vaccine), which contains quite a lot of alcohol and many times the level of vitamin K that any infant would take in during a 24-hour period naturally. Alcohol is detoxified by the liver.

    On that same day, that baby receives the Hepatitis B vaccine – which contains 250 micrograms of aluminum. The FDA safety limit for aluminum in other injected medications (not vaccines – never been studied) is 5 micrograms per kilogram (2.2 pounds) of body weight, administered over a 24 hour period. The reason for the FDA limit is because before it was set, adults who received doses above that limit had such problems as kidneys shutting down and brain damage from too much aluminum. <More about Aluminum>

    Aluminum also targets mitochondrial function.At each of the 2, 4, 6, and 12-15 month “well-baby checks” infants who are vaccinated according to The CDC’s Childhood Schedule receive up to 1,200 micrograms of aluminum in a matter of seconds. Those babies also receive (through injection or ingestion) multiple viruses, bacteria, and toxins, including, but not limited to:

    Thimerosal, aluminum, formaldehyde, polysorbate 80 and MSG.

    Have you ever heard of the terminal complement immune system? If not, you should look it up (LIU).

    The Terminal Complement Immune System contains three different arms: one to deal with viruses, one to deal with bacteria, and one to deal with toxins. Each part responds like a designated army going after whatever invader happens to be identified on the horizon (your infant’s blood stream – after everything injected goes through the capillaries…)

    Re-orient your attention here…

    At each of the 2, 4, 6, and 12-15 month “well-baby checks,” infants are injected with viruses and bacteria

    • Hepatitis B
    • Rotavirus
    • Polio
    • multiple strains of streptococcus in the prevnar vaccine
    • Haemopholis B
    • Diptheria
    • Tetanus
    • Pertussis
    • Measles
    • Mumps
    • Rubella
    • 3 strains of influenza [beginning at six months]
    • and possibly multiple strains of meningococcus

    Obviously, those parts of the terminal complement immune system are going to be VERY BUSY during the first couple of years of your child’s life.

    Reorient again…

    Thimerosal is 49.5% mercury. Mercury is toxic.
    Period.
    It is toxic to the brain and it is toxic to the immune system. Mercury is not the only toxin in vaccines.

    Compared to the Childhood Vaccine Schedule of the 1990s, there is far less mercury in vaccines today’s children are receiving. However, it is NOT true that it’s gone. There are still “trace amounts” of the second most toxic substance on the planet in vaccines given to infants and children every day in the United States.

    How much of a poison is safe to inject into your children?

    So glad you asked…The answer depends on how much aluminum your child receives at the same time.Aluminum is an adjuvant. Its purpose in vaccines is to ramp up the immune system. Aluminum increased in childhood vaccines at the same time when mercury (Thimerosal) was being reduced. These two things are not mutually-exclusive events. They are directly related.

    Here’s how…

    Thimerosal (mercury) is a preservative and an anti-microbial. It was used (and still is) in multi-dose vials of vaccines because it helps to prevent contamination. In multi-dose vials, each time the seal is pierced, it increases the chance that the remainder of the vaccine inside the vial will be contaminated. Thimerosal helps to prevent that.

    Multi-dose vials are cheaper to produce than single-dose vials of vaccines.

    When the U.S. government agencies finally made the recommendation for mercury to be taken out of vaccines for American children, vaccine manufacturers were faced with the problem of losing profits because single-dose vials are more expensive.

    What to do? What to do???

    Well… they figured out a way to use smaller bits and pieces of viruses and bacteria, but they needed an adjuvant to be sure the weaker vaccines were able to stimulate the immune system response. That’s why the amount of aluminum has increased so much since Thimerosal was “removed.” Aluminum makes single dose vials of vaccines cheaper.

    Like mercury, aluminum is also neuro-toxic and immuno-toxic (remember The FDA safety limit? It was set for a reason.) But… aluminum is a very good adjuvant, so it ramps up the immune system and makes it respond to even smaller bits and pieces of viruses and bacteria…AND TOXINS.

    The reason why aluminum is used in vaccines in the first place, is exactly why aluminum is SO DANGEROUS when combined with even the smallest amounts of OTHER TOXINS – including Thimerosal (still present in “trace amounts”), formaldehyde, polysorbate 80, MSG and others.

    Aluminum ramps up the immune system – and just think about what that does when food proteins are injected along with aluminum.

    Do you think it’s any great coincidence that those proteins used in vaccines for infants and children (milk, egg, yeast, peanut) are among the most frequently diagnosed and the most serious food allergies in children? (increased food allergies)

    Here’s what happens..

    Infant is vaccinated with hep B (virus) containing 250 mcg.

    Aluminum on first day of life. Liver is already overwhelmed from alcohol in the vitamin K shot.

    Infant develops jaundice (or worse).Infant receives 6-9 vaccines simultaneously at each of his/her “well-baby checks” at 2, 4, and 6 months of age.

    At each appointment, infant receives way more than the FDA “safe” amount of aluminum and mercury (since there is no safe amount of mercury), along with multiple viruses, bacteria, food proteins, animal proteins and DNA.Infant starts having signs of immune-system problems, usually within a short time of the 4 month vaccinations (if not before), and is then started on multiple rounds of antibiotics for ear infections and upper respiratory infections. Infant also starts having weird rashes (“viral”) and “fevers of unknown origin.

    What parents and physicians don’t realize or take into account is what happens to the blood-brain-barrier (BBB) and the lining of the gastrointestinal tract as a result of the repeated injection of aluminum and mercury. Blood Brain Barrier

    Healing

    There are certain things that are ESSENTIAL in the human body. Among those that are most important are Calcium, Magnesium and Zinc. These, along with Elemental Lithium, are “ESSENTIAL MINERALS.” They are essential because when they are out of whack, nothing works right.

    Magnesium and Zinc are each involved in more than 300 enzymatic processes in the body, so when either one of them is depleted, or bio-unavailable, enzymes don’t work. When the enzymes don’t work, the body doesn’t work.

    Period.

    And here’s another fun fact – the essential minerals have to be in the right ratio in the body and if they aren’t, they don’t work. So if you have zinc, but you don’t have the right amount of magnesium, zinc doesn’t work (it’s bio-unavailable), and vice-versa.Aluminum and mercury deplete magnesium and zinc.

    ZINC is essential to maintain the integrity of BOTH the blood-brain-barrier AND the lining of the gastrointestinal tract.

    The linings of the GI tract and the protective covering of the brain both contain something called “zinc fingers.” Zinc fingers are like the weaves in a very well-constructed basket. Native Americans used to make baskets with weaves so tight they would not leak when filled with water. That’s what zinc fingers do for the brain and the gut. They keep the weaves tight. They keep good things in and they keep bad things out.

    When zinc is either depleted or bio-unavailable, due to displacement by aluminum and mercury, those weaves open up. The GI tract and the BBB become “hyper-permeable.” As in… intestinal hyper-permability (“leaky gut syndrome”) and increased permeability of the blood-brain-barrier, which allows the passage into the central nervous system (CNS) of things like viruses and bacteria which should NOT be there.

    Some of the research regarding MMR vaccine and “autism” involves the finding of active measles virus in the gastrointestinal tract and in the central nervous systems of children diagnosed with “autism.” Those researchers who are looking at MMR vaccine may say, “Aha! MMR vaccine causes the GI problems and brain problems that lead to the behaviors and then the diagnosis of ‘autism!’”

    Some of the research regarding Thimerosal/mercury and “autism” involves the finding that symptoms of “autism” are identical to symptoms of mercury toxicity, and children who regress into ‘autism’ after receiving vaccines containing mercury tend to have problems with the excretion of mercury. Those researchers may say, “Aha! Thimerosal in vaccines causes “autism!”

    Both are correct.Neither is exclusively correct, and neither is wrong.

    Let’s start talking about the fact that the amount of aluminum injected in vaccines has never been studied for safety or efficacy. And while we’re at it, let’s talk about the fact that those 6-9 vaccines given at each of the “well-baby checks” have never been studied as they are being administered.

  • Developer of Gardasil Says This HPV Vaccine Leads to NO BENEFIT, Only Harm From Permanent Injuries

    HPV is NOT an infectious, communicable disease. Cervical cancer is NOT a public health threat. WHY are there HPV mandates for school children? This vaccine was NEVER tested on anyone under the age of 25 and they are recommending (and MANDATING) this vaccine for children as young as nine. Could these mandates stem from the fact that the CDC holds patents and they financial profit from this most damaging and yet lucrative vaccine?

    The HPV vaccine was NEVER developed to prevent cancer, it was developed and approved to prevent WARTS. Warts are not a public health threat. And yet, parents are being marketed to that their daughters get the three shots and they will be protected from cervical cancer. It has been scientifically shown that HPV when treated early does not develop into cancer. Now parents will have a false sense of security and their daughters won’t get paps smears, there will be no early detection. 

    This vaccine is devastating. 61,552 cases of vaccine injury from the HPV vaccine. That’s more than the total number of cervical cancer in the United States in any given year.

    Medical consumers – do not consent to the administration of Gardasil 9 unless you and your medical provider have read and discussed the entire package insert together. The choice is yours, make it an informed one. Norma Erickson examined the Gardasil 9 package insert where she found that the rate of serious adverse events in the trials of Gardasil 9 was 2.3-2.5%. This means that for every 100,000 people who are given Gardasil 9, there will be 2,300 serious adverse events, and yet the cervical cancer rate in the U.S. is around 7 women per 100,000.

    What health official in their right mind is willing to anticipate 2,300 serious adverse events to try and prevent 7.9 cases of cervical cancer?

    Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting

    Approval of Gardasil 9 which contains double the amount of neurotoxic aluminium! 

    Aluminum is a known neurotoxin. A quick search of PubMed for ’aluminum toxicity human’ returns no less than 2132 peer-reviewed and published scientific papers on the subject. Learn more: https://hfi.designbyparrish.com/new-hpv-vaccine-with-double-the-aluminum

    Ask your Doctor: 

    • Why did Merck more than double the amount of aluminum adjuvant in Gardasil 9?
    • What long-term health consequences are associated with the injection of 1,500 mcg of aluminum over a period of less than a year via 3 doses of Gardasil 9?
    • If 2.5% of women reacted to the vaccine in the trials. How will I know if my child will be one who has a serious reaction?
    • What studies who that HPV reduces cancer and/or death from cervical cancer? 
    • Why did they reduce the recommended age of use to 9 when the trials were done on women over 23? 

    Increased Vaccinations has not Decreased Death Rates from HPV

    HPV vaccination rates are increasing, as more children are up to date on HPV vaccination. In 2017, roughly half (49 percent) of adolescents were up to date on the HPV vaccine, and 66 percent of adolescents ages 13-17 years received the first dose to start the vaccine series. On average, the percentage of adolescents who started the HPV vaccine series increased by 5 percentage points each year over the past five years (2013-2017). – CDC

    If it was the “cancer preventative” vaccine they tout, wouldn’t those numbers be going way down?  CDC’s own figures show an INCREASE in death due to cervical cancer. 

    REVIEW OF HPV Vaccine INSERT

    Bombshell #1 Serious Adverse Events

    According to the FDA a serious adverse event must fit one of the following criteria: death, life-threatening, hospitalization, disability or permanent damage, congenital abnormality/birth defect, or the requirement to intervene to prevent permanent impairment.

    According to the Gardasil 9 package insert, the following percentage of serious adverse events were collected during follow-up (up to 48 months):

    SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENTS

    Number receiving shot Type of vaccine Percentage Serious AE’s Number of Serious AE’s
    13,236 Gardasil 9 2.3% 305
    7,378 Gardasil 2.5% 185

    For the first time, Merck has disclosed what may indeed be close to the true rate of serious adverse events people are suffering after the use of Gardasil and will probably continue to suffer if they consent to use Gardasil 9.  The only difference would be that the rates may be higher when used in the general population because certain at-risk groups are excluded from clinical trial participation but not from vaccination programs.

    2.3-2.5% doesn’t sound that bad until you compare apples to apples. Cervical cancer rates are always quoted as # per 100,000. Given the above information, for every 100,000 people using Gardasil 9 there would be 2,300 serious adverse events. The cervical cancer diagnosis rate in the United States is 7.9/100,000.

    What health official in their right mind is willing to anticipate 2,300 serious adverse events to try and prevent 7.9 cases of cervical cancer?

    Keep in mind that the cost of vaccinating 100,000 people is around $30 million ($100 per injection, 3 injections). This doesn’t even begin to address the cost of treating 2,300 serious adverse events, the emotional, physical and financial expense to families and the cost to society via the lost productivity of the injured.

    Bombshell #2 Systemic Autoimmune Disorders

    An autoimmune disorder occurs when the body’s immune system attacks and destroys healthy body tissue by mistake. There are more than 80 types of autoimmune disorders. Many of the people diagnosed as suffering systemic autoimmune disorders after HPV vaccines were first mis-diagnosed with conversion disorder or psychosomatic illnesses. Below are the rates of “new medical conditions potentially indicative of autoimmune disorders” experienced during Merck’s Gardasil 9 clinical trials.

    SYSTEMIC AUTOIMMUNE DISORDERS

    Number receiving shot Type of vaccine Autoimmune Disorders Number
    13,234 Gardasil 9 2.4% 321
    7,378 Gardasil 3.3% 240

    So, in addition to the serious adverse events, you now have an additional 2,400 people who may be left with systemic autoimmune disorders. How can any health official possibly think Gardasil 9 is worth this kind of risk?

    Bombshell #3 Pregnancy Outcomes

    According to the Gardasil 9 package insert, 1,028 women who were injected with Gardasil 9 became pregnant during the course of the clinical trials along with 991 women who had been injected with Gardasil. Overall, 14.1% of the Gardasil 9 women suffered adverse outcomes while 17.0% of the Gardasil women suffered the same fate. 

    There is no distance I would not travel or measure I would not take if I thought it could save someone from giving this shot to their child. Not only does it not prevent cancer, it causes cervical cancer. It also causes premature ovarian failure and it destroys fertility. This vaccine killed 40 people in the original clinical trial. According to the Gardasil 9 package insert, 1,028 women who were injected with Gardasil 9 became pregnant during the course of the clinical trials. A total of 313 women either lost their babies to spontaneous abortion or late fetal death or gave birth to children with congenital anomalies. @ Chris Kirckof

    This population was further broken down into those who became pregnant within 30 days of an injection and those who became pregnant more than 30 days post-injection. The charts are below.

    OUTCOME WHEN INJECTED WITHIN 30 DAYS OF PREGNANCY ONSET

    Number of pregnancies Type of vaccine % abortion/stillborn Lost Babies
    62 Gardasil 9 27.4% 17
    55 Gardasil 12.7% 7

    OUTCOME WHEN INJECTED MORE THAN 30 DAYS BEFORE PREGNANCY ONSET

    Number of pregnancies Type of vaccine % abortion/stillborn Lost Babies
    960 Gardasil 9 10.9% 105
    933 Gardasil 14.6% 136

    Note: The numbers from these two charts do not add up to the total number Merck stated in the first paragraph. That is because in the ’more than 30 days’ group there were also 20 cases of congenital anomalies after Gardasil 9 and 21 cases after Gardasil.

    Merck stated in the package insert, ”The proportions of adverse outcomes observed were consistent with pregnancy outcomes observed in the general population.”

    Unless they are talking about some country other than the United States, THIS IS NOT TRUE.

    According to the CDC’s latest publication on fetal mortality, the rate of spontaneous abortions and fetal deaths in the United States is 6.05/1,000 pregnancies or 0.605% – hardly 10.9%, much less 27.4%, and certainly not ’consistent with outcomes observed in the general population’ of the United States.

    Do CBER officials not even go to the trouble of verifying the ’facts’ presented by vaccine manufacturers when they are ’evaluating data concerning the safety, effectiveness, and appropriate use’ of vaccines?

    Whether these actions, or lack of proper actions are a result of malfeasance, laziness, or just plain stupidity does not matter at this point. It is obvious to the most casual observer the FDA either cannot or will not properly handle their responsibility to protect and preserve the public’s health and safety. They have violated the public trust.

    Developer of the vaccine Diane Harper one of the lead researchers for the Merck drug is speaking out about its risks, benefits and aggressive marketing. She helped to get the vaccine approved, and saw first hand the devastation it causes. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/gardasil-researcher-speaks-out/

    There is absolutely no excuse for exposing young women and men to this level of risk for a vaccine that provides nothing other than promises of results far down the road.

  • Pig Virus DNA Found in Rotavirus Vaccine

    ROTAVIRUS vaccine was found contaminated with retrovirus. GlaxoSmithKline’s Rotarix and Merck’s RotaTeq – are contaminated with pig virus DNA. But there’s a difference between the two vaccines: Rotarix contains parts of a pig virus that does not make pigs sick while Merck’s RotaTeq contains parts of a pig virus that kills baby pigs.

    How many mothers know that, when Merck’s diarrhea vaccine is squirted into the mouths of their two month old babies, they are swallowing parts of a pig virus that suppresses the immune systems of baby pigs so badly, they waste away and can suffer respiratory, kidney, reproductive and brain damage before dying? In fact, the FDA pronounced both rotavirus vaccines safe, even though both remain contaminated and SAFETY DATA ON PCV2 CONTAMINATION OF ROTATEQ WAS NOT EVALUATED BY THE FDA ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

     “The American Academy of Pediatrics and doctors should be informing parents they have a choice and that one rotavirus vaccine is contaminated with DNA from a lethal pig virus while the other is not.” Barbara Lowe Fischer NVIC

    The dangers of retroviruses in vaccines: Dr. Judy Mikovits

    The Contamination of the rota-virus vaccine

    expert from VaccineImpact article posted 2017

    Looking at the excipient list of vaccines, we can quickly see that every vaccine may be contaminated with at least one animal retrovirus family, all of which have been associated with cancers, chronic liver disease, AIDS, ALS, ME/CFS and autism.

    As just one example among hundreds of retrovirus contamination of vaccines, take a look at the history of the rotavirus vaccine. In 2010, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) convened a panel of experts to review findings that rotavirus vaccines given to infants in the U.S., Rotateq, produced by Merck Pharmaceuticals and Rotarix produced by Glaxo Smith Kline, are contaminated with pig viruses.

    Rotarix, an orally administered rotavirus vaccine, contained nucleic acids from porcine circovirus-1 (PCV1) virus and RotaTeq has been shown to contain nucleic acids from both PCV1 and PCV2, a pathogen in pigs that is associated with wasting and immunodeficiency.

    While acknowledging that the entire short and long-term risks from the porcine circoviruses PCV1 and PCV2 are as yet unknown, the advisory panel decided that:

    “the benefits of the vaccine trumps its risks.”

    While the technology to detect genetic contaminates in vaccines was not available until relatively recently, the dangers of generating new viruses and bacteria that can cause diseases were foreseen by the pioneers of genetic engineering. Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) refers to the direct uptake and incorporation of genetic material from unrelated species, in this instance from adventitious viral contaminants in live viral vaccines, into a human host or a host-related bacterium such as those colonizing the gut.

    Unlike chemical pollutants which break down and become diluted out, retroviral nucleic acids are infectious, they can invade cells and genomes, multiply, mutate and recombine indefinitely. Potential hazards of HGT of free nucleic acids include the generation of new viruses and bacteria that can cause disease, spreading drug and antibiotic resistance genes among viral and bacterial pathogens making infections untreatable, random insertion into genomes of cells resulting in harmful effects including cancer and reactivation of dormant viruses, present in all cells and genomes, which may cause disease.

    Research demonstrates that the pathogenic potential of PCV Type 2 to cause an AIDS-like disease in pigs is unleashed when there is simultaneous immune system activation (e.g. concurrent vaccination) in these animals. Thus, the concurrent inoculation of rotavirus vaccine contaminated with PCV Type 2 DNA sequences along with DTaP, Hib, PCV, IPV and Hep B, as currently recommended by ACIP, provides a high-risk scenario for disease in humans.

    PCV Type 2 is a lymphotropic virus that infects primary lymphoid tissues. Its detection in lymphoid tissue of exposed (vaccinated) children should be the focus of urgent investigations, yet relatively few people are aware of the risks.

    Such tissue is available in the form of intestinal biopsies from children with a variety of conditions including autism. Lymphatic tissue is also available from rhesus macaques exposed to the current vaccine schedule as part of ongoing safety studies. These tissues should be screened using the same metagenomic and pan-microbial array technology used by Victoria et al to identify adventitious sequences in vaccines.

    Every cell line or animal tissue used to manufacture any biological including vaccines must first be cleared of all endogenous viruses in order to prevent the zoonotic transmission of retroviruses to humans and make them safe. Receiving one or two injections of an adventitious retrovirus likely does little damage to a healthy immune system.

    However, the aggressive vaccine schedule currently in place means that the number of retroviruses injected into infants, children, and teenagers—including at vulnerable/immune compromised times in their lives—is unknown.

  • Vaccine Choice Attorney Alan Phillips Jailed

    Alan Phillips, J.D. is a nationally recognized expert and presenter on vaccine policy and law, and is the nation’s only attorney whose practice is focused solely on vaccine exemptions and legislative activism. He works with clients, attorneys, legislators, and activists throughout the U.S. concerning vaccines required at birth; for daycare, grade school, and college enrollment; as a condition of employment; for military members and families; for immigrants; for children of parents in child custody disputes; for international travel; and various subsets of these categories.

    Attorney Phillips is a friend of Health Freedom Idaho and participated in our video interview regarding
    Healthcare Employee Right to Vaccine Exemptions

    Overview of Alan’s Case

    North Carolina Attorney Alan Phillips Jailed for Maintaining Attorney-Client Privilege

    Attorney Alan Phillips was sent to jail on Monday, April 29, 2019 for contempt of court for refusing to provide the North Carolina State Bar confidential client files. With no evidence of wrongdoing, and completely ignoring the sanctity of attorney-client privilege, the Bar secured a court order for his client records. Who knows what the motivations of the NC State Bar might be, but one thing is clear, this fishing expedition is unethical and requires an independent review of the NC State Bar. 

    After Attorney Phillips refused to reveal his privileged client records, the judge found Attorney Phillips in contempt of court and sent him to jail, telling him he’d remain there for 48hrs. Attorney Phillips was told that, once released, he’d have ten days to comply with the court order, or he’d face additional jail time.

  • Top 10 Frequently Asked Questions About Hemp

    Cannabis is an industry clouded by years of confusion, prohibition, and a lack of information. Hemp, the non-psychoactive strain of marijuana, has countless applications across industry and medicine. CBD extracts from hemp cannot make you high and are trusted by many for their health and mood benefits. We’ll be answering the top ten frequently asked questions about hemp and CBD so that you understand this booming new industry completely. 


    What is hemp?

    Hemp is a non-psychoactive strain cultivated for thousands of years. As one of the oldest crops in existence, hemp has uses spanning textiles, printing, manufacturing, medicine, and countless other industrial applications. This term commonly refers to industrial or agricultural hemp, hemp which has been grown for fiber. It is extremely low in THC, the psychoactive component of cannabis, and hemp requires minimal care to grow.


    Is hemp legal?

    The 2018 Hemp Farming Act which makes a part of the U.S. Farm Bill passed by president Donald Trump in December 2018 makes hemp a legal crop throughout the USA. Even though hemp is legal, it is still under regulation. The United States Department of Agriculture set forth to develop a framework of regulations through the course of 2019. CBD oil derived from hemp is legal in 50 States across the US, grown by the Farm Bill regulations. Cannabis was illegal for many years mainly due to the effects and benefits being misunderstood. Without the psychoactive effect, not even social issues are at risk of falling out of balance due to bad habits or poor lifestyle choices.

    When and why was hemp illegal?

    There are many speculations as to what made hemp and all other varieties of cannabis illegal. However, the only acceptable conclusion without pointing fingers and casting blame is to say that marijuana was largely misunderstood. Perhaps the threat of its many applications across printing, construction, and both home and enterprise-level industry made it a threat in the eyes of early leaders, leading to propaganda and prohibition. For years, the medical benefits of cannabis with or without THC were only known to those open enough to investigate without a predisposition. Today, the evidence is emerging across all fields and sciences indicating the many applications and health benefits that cannabis and cannabis extracts hold. 

    Can Hemp make you high?

    Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is the psychoactive component of cannabis. Marijuana of the hemp variety contains less than 0.3% THC which means that only trace elements enter the bloodstream. This is nowhere near enough to induce any hallucinogenic or mind-altering effects. When someone ingests cannabis with a conventional concentration of THC (around 12%), THC binds to receptors in the brain governing pleasure, memory, and other facets of cognition. The characteristic ‘high’ arises due to the stimulation of dopamine production as THC binds to cannabinoid receptors in the brain. CBD extracted from hemp has no such effect, instead it benefits the body through the way that it works synergistically with the endocannabinoid system.
    Will hemp extracts or CBD oil cure my / treat my…?

    DSHEA compliance means that we cannot endorse any specific treatment or medicinal benefit of CBD or hemp oil. There are, however, many reputable scientific studies which have motivated the legalization of cannabis in its entirety throughout the US and other parts of the world. For example, take a look at these recent studies:

    Are hemp extracts and CBD oil addictive?

    Absolutely not. The only way that you can ingest hemp is by means of CBD oil. You can’t smoke industrial hemp. Regardless, cannabidiol is non-addictive, and hemp extracts can’t make you high. CBD and cannabis use rather assist the process of withdrawal, easing symptoms and benefitting recovery without any dependency forming. 


    What effects can I expect from using hemp extracts or CBD oil?

    Just like you get Sativa strains for athletes and specific types of marijuana for certain medical conditions, you can expect a steady range of benefits from CBD oil as well. There are no mind-altering effects. CBD oil combats fatigue, bringing on a subtle and slow energizing effect. Mental clarity is promoted by stimulating feelings of well-being. Social anxiety drops and depression also eases away. Nausea drops thanks to the interaction between serotonin receptors and CBD, and CBD helps you get over insomnia making it easier to fall asleep, or stay awake. 


    Is CBD from hemp and CBD from cannabis the same thing?


     Cannabinoids are cannabinoids. CBD from hemp and cannabis is the same thing. Hemp is a variety of cannabis sativa which is very low in THC. There is no difference in purity nor potency. CBD oil and other extracts taken from industrial hemp are always free from THC and many of the other compounds and phytocannabinoids in other strains of cannabis. The only CBD which is different is CBD which is manufactured synthetically. When you use CBD extracted from the plant, you benefit from the entourage effect believed to vastly increase the medicinal and therapeutic effects of cannabis.

    Does CBD and hemp extracts interact with other medications?

    Yes. The cytochrome P450 enzyme production is inhibited by CBD. P450 is a live enzyme which affects the way that a large number of medications metabolize. Whenever a medicine enters the body, it becomes broken down into metabolites by the liver and other parts of your molecular pathways. Enzymes help the body get rid of foreign molecules arising as metabolites. As the P450 enzyme goes to work, medications their compounds oxidize which means that an extra oxygen atom enters their molecular structure. This generally makes them more water-soluble which in turn means that they’re easier for the kidneys to flush. A person supplementing with CBD will experience an increase in action, duration, and effect of their medication. This is the same enzymatic action that occurs when eating grapefruit. The contraindications for eating grapefruit with certain prescription medication like the blood thinner warfarin will occur. Physicians normally advise patients to stay away from grapefruit and grapefruit juice completely; otherwise, the blood thinner will thin the blood for longer. Always adjust your dosage as per the advice of your doctor if this interaction applies to your medication.


    How large is the hemp industry?

    The hemp industry is gigantic. After all, the first two drafts of the declaration of independence of the United States of America were on Dutch hemp paper. Hemp’s uses span:

    • Paper

    • Textiles

    • Biodegradable plastics

    • Construction

    • Health 

    • Food

    • Fuel


    In the US alone, hemp is estimated to expect a boom over the next year at an estimated $800 million, reaching twenty billion dollars by 2022. Hemp seed is a rich source of fatty acids, holding all the essential amino’s to prevent deficiency diseases. Hemp seed oil is a fantastic source of biofuel, and while not as high energy, it is sustainable. Unlike conventional fossil fuels, using hemp for energy farming is a clean source of power as well. This is a crop which is easy to grow, withstanding disease and taxing conditions extremely well across a range of different climates. 

    What happened to growing HEMP in Idaho? 


    Find it All Online

    US residents you can find CBD oil at local health stores. There are many companies that sell full spectrum CBD oil online. Outside the US you can find hemp derived CBD oil and conventional strains of all types readily available online at Ontario cannabis. This is especially handy for people living in Canada and other areas of the world where cannabis is legal. With the world’s best cannabis on order, you’ve got the flexibility and ease of selecting the ideal product for your physical or recreational needs.
