  • Toxicologist Mom: How I Became Anti-Vaccine.

    For several years, I was unsure. I felt caught between different sources of conflicting information that I thought to be credible. But I knew too much to believe what we were always told – that vaccines were “safe and effective”. 
    This article has been excerpted from ThinkLoveHealthy. Written by Ashley, a dedicated mother, wife and toxicologist with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Environmental Toxicology from the University of California at Davis.
    I will also add that I am a scientist. Specifically, a toxicologist – someone who determines the level at which a particular substance is toxic or deadly. (Please don’t attempt to remind me that “the dose makes the poison”. This applies to substances that are not toxic at the lowest levels we can measure.) I know how to read, understand, and interpret scientific research. When it comes to vaccines, I search for proof. For solid scientific evidence. It was and still is, of utmost importance to me, to see the research, and only then, come to an informed decision. And in the end, the overwhelming amount of unbiased historical and scientific evidence – was against vaccines. 

    I do not take this issue lightly. 

    The debate about vaccines is so volatile, simply because we all CARE so much, about children, about our families. People on both sides of this debate – the majority of them are truly GOOD people. The difference between us is that you believe the benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks. And after years of research and/or witnessing our children suffer vaccine injury, we do not. 

    There is passion and frustration on both sides, and we are coming from the same place with that frustration. We simply disagree on how to best protect our children. (quote from post via Facebook) 

    I chose a delayed and selective vaccine schedule for my son. I was torn between the risk of a “preventable” disease and the risk of vaccine injury. I didn’t know as much as I do now.

    The first time he received vaccines, at 4 months of age, he was somnolent for 4 hrs following the shot – awake but out of it. I was worried, because it wasn’t like him to be awake and not fully alert… but I felt some relief when he seemed to be back to himself later that day.

    A month later I went in to get him two more shots (Prevnar & Hib). 

    It was then that I found out the nurse had given him a vaccine for which I did not give consent. I was livid. At the previous appointment I had requested a DTaP-only shot. The nurse said it was available but scoffed and rolled her eyes at me for not wanting to give him the rest of them, and tried to pressure me to give him the rotavirus vaccine. 

    She ended up giving him Pediarix – DTaP, Polio, HepB in one shot – while my husband and I sat there believing she was administering DTaP.
    Pediarix contains high levels of aluminum and I had intended to avoid it.

    Three days after that second set of vaccines, my son started showing signs of having neurological damage – he developed some kind of head tic, which looking back, appears to have potentially been non-febrile seizures (no fever). I didn’t connect it to the vaccines at the time.

    I didn’t know that both Prevnar (pneumococcal) & Hib contain aluminum. I didn’t know that aluminum has been linked to tics in scientific studies. I didn’t know that aluminum reduces the concentration of magnesium in the central nervous system, which can lead to tics, nor that it destroys nerve cells in the brain – and that this was happening to my 5 month old son. But I know now.

    I was still naive, ignorant, and fearful of diseases for the next year of my son’s life. I was caught in between the risks of the diseases and the risks of the vaccines. I was concerned about whooping cough, so he received two more doses of DTaP. 

    But as he got closer to two years of age, I started getting more and more concerned about his development. He had several symptoms of being on the spectrum. Language and speech delays, gross motor delays, cognitive delays (for example, he couldn’t understand how to answer a yes or no question until after he was 2 years old), he had sensory processing issues, he refused to let anyone, even me, hug or kiss him, he would bang his head on the couch and into people, sometimes the floor…

    He would rarely look me in the eye or smile for pictures, when his younger cousin would immediately make eye contact and smile. He had a pretty vacant expression much of the time. There were many indicators, and I was honestly terrified as he grew older, that it would become more and more obvious to everyone else that he was not a neurotypical child. I don’t think anyone in my life knew how much anxiety this brought me.

    At that point I chose to stop vaccinating him altogether and I started focusing on getting him eating well. 

    …

    Then my daughter was born and my son finally started being able to speak more than two syllables at a time. I found I had the ambition to dive head first into reading anything and everything I could find on vaccines, disease, and health, so I embraced it. I was obsessive about reading scientific studies from both sides and looking into the history and statistics of disease and disease mortality. I’ve never been so consumed with anything like I was with this. It was my sole focus besides being with and caring for my children. I spent hours – every spare moment – every day – reading. I’m not exaggerating.

    … I would open my mouth to speak, and my husband would say, “Is this about vaccines?”

    It was a rough time because he could not relate to my passion for the subject and he was trying to focus on supporting our family. He didn’t really have time to hear about every new detail I was piecing together. 

    The aluminum, the mercury, the aborted fetuses, the chicken embryo cells, fetal bovine serum, casein (milk protein), monkey kidney cells (“vero cells”)… Then there was the constant flow of stories from mothers and fathers about their vaccine injured children. The stories about how their pediatricians refused to acknowledge that vaccines could have been a factor in the sudden decline of their child’s health, even though their child was perfectly healthy and happy prior to shots, and only hours after began screaming inconsolably for days – then suffered developmental delays, digestive issues, recurring ear or respiratory infections, food allergies (e.g. to casein, eggs, peanuts), etc.

    There were way too many stories of infants dying shortly after vaccines and their deaths being labeled “SIDS” by blind medical professionals who had no clue about the ingredients in vaccines, nor would they give credit to the fact that genetic mutations can make children susceptible to vaccine injury and death.

    There were so many stories of children getting a “measles -like” rash and a fever, shortly after receiving the live-virus measles/mumps/rubella vaccine… so many doctors refusing to diagnose measles, AS MEASLES, after the child was injected – with the live measles virus! Most parents don’t know that live virus vaccines can “shed”, like in the case of rotavirus or varicella (chicken pox) – or maybe they’ve been told that shedding is a myth. Yet, the MMR vaccine insert [page 5] states that live rubella virus can be swabbed from the nose of vaccinated individuals for 29 days post-vaccination. It’s been documented in the case of one vaccinated two-year-old, that it’s possible for a vaccinated person to carry and shed (and contract!) vaccine virus-associated measles five weeks after receiving the live-virus vaccine. But the one that takes the cake is the story of the man who shed the vaccine version of the polio virus for almost 30 YEARS.

    Then there are the news stories and studies of  disease outbreaks in fully-vaccinated populations… Like this outbreak of whooping cough, and this outbreak of mumps. The efficacy of most vaccines is questionable at best. Merck is even being sued for greatly exaggerating the efficacy of their MMR vaccine.

    …

    I keep learning new things each day. Still. To this day. Because I READ STUDIES – Studies that never see the light of day because the media will never report on it. And it amazes me how utterly brainwashed we have been to believe we can inject “health” – especially when these injections contain toxic levels of aluminum and mercury. It’s amazing that we think we know how to out-smart our biology, physiology, biochemistry, etc. That we think injecting pregnant women and babies with what reads like something out of a witches brew of ingredients – is NORMAL.

  • Decline of Mental Wellness

    We have an adult health crisis. According to the CDC, approximately half of all adults in the United States have at least one chronic disease, ranging from cancer to diabetes to heart disease.  About 80 percent of all health care spending nationally is due to chronic disease.  As if that wasn’t overwhelming enough the United States is facing a new set of epidemics: Shocking statistics from the CDC have shown that the national suicide rate has been increasing over the last decade, jumping by more than 25% from 1999 to 2016. In the latter year, we lost nearly 45,000 lives to suicide. However, deaths from suicide are not the only rising statistic related to a growing problem of despair in the United States. If current trends continue, drugs, alcohol and suicide could kill an estimated 1.6 million Americans between 2016 and 2025, according to a new analysis conducted by the Berkeley Research Group (BRG) for this report. That’s a 60 percent increase.

    That equates to 350 deaths per day, 14 deaths per hour or one death every four minutes.

    Our nation is facing a mounting crisis related to alcohol and drug misuse as well as a mental and behavioral health crisis that can be glimpsed in the rising suicide rate. In 2016, U.S. life expectancy decreased for the first time in two decades, and these three public health crises have been major contributing factors to this shift.

    The Obvious Source of the Decline of Mental Health

    Nowadays a wide range of medications are available for treatment of various mental health issues.Many psychiatrists match the symptoms to a medication and, sometimes, recommend psychotherapy. However, if these medications are really effective as they are marketed to be, why do statistics show increased number of mental health problems and diseases? An obvious, but over looked factor in the decline in mental wellness is the increase chronic inflammation and the toxicity of our environment.  

    “There is certainly an epidemic of adverse mental health symptoms today and there is one very prominent reason why: the toxic food and water we ingest and the environment we live in.” biosanctuary.com

    Nutrient Deficiencies

    When humans act out, it could be a sign of micronutrient mineral deficiencies. There are 40 essential nutrients that need to be balanced according to someone’s individual biochemistry. 11
    A person out of balance might experience symptoms including cutting/self-harm tendencies, hair-pulling, skin picking, autistic “stimming”, eating disorders, and most mental health disorders.

    In the US most people aren’t psychiatric because they aren’t more than 80% depleted nutritionally. The fact that we are seeing more cases of mental instability could be due to our depleted soils, processed food addiction, leaky gut, lack of probiotic & healthy gut microbes that help assimilate nutrition, and the genetic deficiencies that can actually be passed down.1,6  

    Prescribing pills perpetuates the chemical imbalances caused by toxicity and inflammation in addition to causing undisclosed side affects. Even natural herbal supplements that affect brain processed and mood can  alter brain chemistry that simply addresses symptoms and avoids getting the root cause. 

    “Medications can be quick,” says Jonathan Prousky, ND, MSc, editor of the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine. “They will quickly subdue someone and make them docile, which makes people think they’re getting better. But they’re not getting better. I’ve never met a patient on an antipsychotic medication who was living a thriving, flourishing life. I’ve never seen it.”

    Nutrition is an oft-ignored — yet incredibly effective — way to manage mental illness, including schizophrenia, bipolar and other diagnosis-es. 

    Why? Because Psychiatric/Pharmaceutical Industry is Making a Killing—$84 Billion Per Year. There isn’t a profit in healing the patient with a ‘prescription’ of nutrient dense foods.

    A review of clinical studies conducted by T. S. Sathyanarayana Rao from Department of Psychiatry, JSS Medical College in Mysore, India had some interesting findings. For example:

    • Low glycemic index (GI) foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains etc. are more likely to provide moderate, yet lasting effects on brain chemistry, mood, and energy levels
    • Deficiency of Omega 3 fatty acid is associated with heightened depression symptoms
    • Consumption of Vitamin B-rich foods is linked with improved mood
    • Low levels of folate are, also, connected with depression
    • Iron deficiency is strongly associated with ADHD.

    Two-time Nobel Prize winner, and molecular biologist, Linus Pauling, Ph.D.,coined the term “Orthomolecular” in his 1968 article “Orthomolecular Psychiatry” in the journal Science. Orthomolecular medicine describes the practice of preventing and treating disease by providing the body with optimal amounts of substances which are natural to the body. 10

    Toxic Exposure

    Neurotoxicity of Pesticides Used on YOUR Food that Cause Adverse Brain Function Abnormalities, & Adverse Mood, Focus, Intellectual and Behavioral Changes

    Today we have epidemic anxiety, panic attacks, ADD, and depression as well as hyperactivity and deterioration of mental functions as a result of toxins and their accumulative effects.  6821 pounds of toxic chemicals are released into our environment each second these include cancer causing, neurotoxic and endocrine chemicals that are found in our air, water, on our food and absorbed by our skin . 

    Most Common Neurotoxic and Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals in our Environment 

    • Pesticides & Herbicides 
      These neurodegenerative neurotoxins such as organophosphate pesticides found in all conventional foods and many water sources
      • Glyphosate Herbicide a known cancer-causing agent. In the nearly 20 years of intensifying exposure, scientists have been documenting the health consequences of Roundup and glyphosate in our food, in the water we drink, in the air we breathe and where our children play. In Johnson vs Monsanto, court documents revealed that Monsanto was aware of the toxicity of Roundup on human health. 
    • Hormones, drugs, antibiotics
      Conventionally-raised meat come from animals fed drugs, antibiotics and hormones. 80 percent of all reported antibiotic are fed to livestock.
    • Food Chemicals found in Processed foods-
      • food dyes, 
      • artificial sweeteners such as splenda, NutraSweet, 
      • MSG, 
      • refined sugar
      • the 2000+ other Chemical additives
    • GMOs
      • Conventionally grown produce, meat and processed foods. There is no longer term testing of the effects on human health
    • Fluoride, Chlorine, Psychiatric Drugs, Chromium-6 
    • BPA (Bisphenol-A), Parabens & Phthalates 
      • Food & water containers are the major source, however, these endocrine disruptors can be found in children’s toys, common household wares, most anything plastic.
    • Mercury /Aluminum & other Heavy Metals  
      • vaccines (Excipient list from CDC)
      • amalgam tooth fillings 
      • high fructose corn syrup 
      • fish 
      • nose sprays, eye drops, cosmetics 
    • Mold and Fungus 
      •  Found in our classrooms, homes and in our air

    Each and every one of toxins has a potential to cause adverse mental health symptoms, however, the story is not fully explored until you consider the cross contamination and added the potential for disease and mental health decline caused by these reactive chemicals in the same environment – your body.

    These chemicals were not tested in living organism with their own chemical structures in addition to typically three hundred plus exogenous toxic chemicals coming into contact with each other. This reality expresses a whole new level of concern.

    The decrease of mental well being and increase of self-medication

    Exposure to neurotoxins and endocrine disruptors can create addictive biochemistry and be the root cause of addiction to any legal / illegal drug or alcohol. When a person is chronically symptomatic psychologically, physically or emotionally they will reach out for relief.

    Some will go to a doctor who will hand out a toxic pharmaceutical that will cover the symptoms, add side effects and fail to address the underlying cause of the imbalance.  

    Remember, a drug is a drug under the skin – the body does not care if a man has legalized it, it is still toxic, and it will be destructive to the biochemical processes that sustain life – your life.

    One must find the root cause of the symptoms, which is most of the time toxicity – diet and environment related and remove the cause of the symptoms to correct the metabolism and heal addiction.

    Support your mental healing with your diet and environment.

    Trusted authorities are keeping you sick and confused. But with the right knowledge and tools — combined with the right support — you can hit the reset button and awaken the person you were meant to be. Naturally. You can heal yourself.- Aspen Marrow medfreebipolar.com

    If you are symptomatic, your quest for health in today’s toxic world would be better served if you started your healing journey by considering what you sare putting in your mouth.

    • Eliminate refined sugar, refined grains, and all processed foods.
    • Switch to organic foods including grass-fed meats
    • Increase your intake of raw vegetables and fruits to 75% or more of your diet. *A simple way is to juice raw fruits and veggies once a day. Some people find it easier to switch over using dehydrated concentrated raw fruits veggie powders (watch the ingredients, however!)
    • Support your system with fermented foods: Top 3 are kombucha, keifer and saurkraut.
    • Seek out Support and Surround yourself with happy people.

    Patients and their families shouldn’t be shy about pushing their clinicians to look beyond the latest wonder drug and try to incorporate some orthomolecular whole body strategies for treatment.

  • 5G Will Use the Same Frequencies as Pain-Inflicting Military Weapon

    What does the 5G network and a non-lethal weapon developed by the military have in common? The Department of Defense has developed a non-lethal crowd control device called the Active Denial System (ADS). The ADS works by firing a high-powered beam of 95 GHz waves at a target—that is, millimeter wavelengths.  Anyone caught in the beam will feel like their skin is burning. The burning sensation stops once the target leaves the beam. This weapon operates on 95GHz waves and 5G will operate on the same frequencies. 

    Today’s cellular and Wi-Fi networks rely on microwaves – a type of electromagnetic radiation utilizing frequencies up to 6 gigahertz (GHz) in order to wirelessly transmit voice or data. However, 5G applications will require unlocking of new spectrum bands in higher frequency ranges above 6 GHz to 100 GHz and beyond, utilizing sub-millimeter and millimeter waves – to allow ultra-high rates of data to be transmitted in the same amount of time as compared with previous deployments of microwave radiation.

    Now a US weapons that relies on the capability of this electromagnetic technology to induce unpleasant burning sensations on the skin as a form of crowd control is being rolled out. 

    Millimeter waves are utilized by the U.S. Army in crowd dispersal guns called Active Denial Systems. Dr. Paul Ben-Ishai pointed to research that was commissioned by the U.S. Army to find out why people ran away when the beam touched them. “If you are unlucky enough to be standing there when it hits you, you will feel like your body is on fire.” The U.S. Department of Defense explains how: “The sensation dissipates when the target moves out of the beam. The sensation is intense enough to cause a nearly instantaneous reflex action of the target to flee the beam.” 

    See the video below for the 5G frequency weapon in action: So, what we’re talking about with 5G technology is being exposed to the same kind of waves day in and day out, only at a lower power than the ADS. Have safety studies confirmed that such exposure is safe? No.

    There’s more! Research from a team of Israeli physicists has found that there are new problems to consider with exposure to millimeter waves. When the wavelength of the energy approaches the dimensions of our biological structures, i.e. our skin and sweat ducts, previous assumptions about the safety of energy radiation are no longer valid. The research shows that, with millimeter waves, our sweat ducts actually act like little antennas, which means we would absorb more of this energy into our bodies. Other research has demonstrated that short-term exposure to low-intensity millimeter waves affects human cell membranes and could even result in the proliferation of multi-drug resistant bacteria.

    Seeing as there has been virtually no research on long-term exposure to millimeter waves, the large-scale deployment of 5G technology is a massive experiment, and we’re the guinea pigs.

    There’s no opting out of 5G—in fact it will become more ubiquitous than wireless technology is right now. As Verizon boasts on its website, the “Internet of Things” will thrive on 5G technology. The Internet of Things refers to the expanding number of devices, appliances, utilities, and other technologies that collect, transmit, and share data through the internet. Essentially, many processes that have not previously relied on the internet will start to once 5G roles out: switching lightbulbs on or off with a smartphone app, driverless cars—even “smart cities” that will use wireless networks to collect and analyze data about the environment, traffic, water, transit, lighting, waste management, security, and parking.

    “The use of sub-terahertz (Millimeter wave) communications technology (cell phones, Wi-Fi, network transmission antennas) could cause humans to feel physical pain via nociceptors, ” stated Dr. Yael Stein, MD, who wrote a letter to the Federal Communications Commission about 5G Spectrum Frontiers.

    Devra Lee Davis Founding Director of the Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology of the U.S. National Research Council, National Academy of Sciences, Founding Director of the Center for Environmental Oncology, University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute says

    I love my devices as much as anyone else but I don’t want to the health of my grandchildren at risk. I don’t want to put them in harm’s way. We now know that the skin, our largest organ does respond to 5g, and in fact our sweat ducts they can act as antennas that can receive signals. 5G has not been tested for safety. The fact that it can interact with our sweat ducts may have much more profound meaning for our overall health and well-being. The idea that we’re going to saturate this country with a network that has never been tested is appalling. I am joining with many other scientists from around the world now to express concerns. We must evaluate these things before we roll out the technology  no matter how attractive it is for us to have faster downloads of video games, pornography or virtual reality. The question we have to ask ourselves is it worth endangering the health of our children?

    Dr. Davis’ group – Environmental Health Trust – explains:

    Israeli research studies presented at an international conference reveal that the same electromagnetic frequencies used for crowd control weapons form the foundation of the latest network – branded as 5G – that will tie together more than 50 billion devices as part of the Internet of Things. Current investigations of wireless frequencies in the millimeter and submillimeter range confirm that these waves interact directly with human skin, specifically the sweat glands. Dr. Ben-Ishai of the Department of Physics, Hebrew University, Israel recently detailed how human sweat ducts act like an array of helical antennas when exposed to these wavelengths. Scientists cautioned that before rolling out 5G technologies that use these frequencies, research on human health effects needed to be done first to ensure the public and environment are protected.

    [Dr. Davis notes] “This work shows that the same parts of the human skin that allow us to sweat also respond to 5G radiation much like an antenna that can receive signals. We need the potential adverse health impacts of 5G to be seriously evaluated before we blanket our children, ourselves and the environment with this radiation.”

    Research studies from the Dielectric Spectroscopy Laboratory of the Department of Applied Physics, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, headed by Dr. Yuri Feldman, indicate that millimeter and sub-millimeter waves may lead to preferential layer absorption. The number of sweat ducts within human skin varies from two million to four million. The researchers pointed to replicated peer research of these biological effects in laboratory research conducted in other countries and considered this mechanism of action well-proven.

    There are now many thousands of peer-reviewed medical and epidemiological studies that show, illustrate or correlate, adverse biological effects with use of mobile phone technology or WIFI. Using frequencies even higher than 5 GHz (and up to 100 GHz) will compress the timeframe in which cancers and other biological effects show themselves within society. It is anyone’s guess on what might happen in terms of biological safety yet it is clear to see that the pulsed nature of these high frequency, high signal intensity signals do not harbor good news for humanity, particularly in relation to the functioning of our DNA.

    Millimeter-wave-emitting devices will saturate our environment, and the fact that we’re plunging head-first into deploying this technology without knowing the health consequences is shocking.

  • Andrew Wakefield the Anti-Vaccine Activist

    Have you heard of the ‘anti-vax’ Dr. Andy Wakefield? Yeah, the one who became a world famous anti-vaccine activist. The one whose co-author was exonerated after the medical publication the Lancet retracted their study. This late 1990’s study suggested that the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine may predispose to behavioral regression and pervasive developmental disorder in children. (A similar conclusion was found in April 2018 by U.C. Davis medical researchers). The authors helped support the idea that there could a be gut-brain connection that causes the deterioration in the health of some children after vaccination. 
    Some claim that Wakefield is the man who almost single-handedly launched the scare over the MMR vaccine in Britain when he published his infamous Lancet paper in 1998. They give him too much credit! It most certainly had NOTHING to do with the eyewitness accounts of the hundreds of thousands of parents who saw the regression of their children after routine vaccinations. 

    If you would prefer to read about Dr. Wakefield this is a condensed well summarized article The Real Story of Dr. Andrew Wakefield by Mary Holland, JD.

    The article reviews each of the claims against Dr. Wakefield with clear findings and summarizes the real intent of the multi-million dollar prosecution against him. 

    If there was no scientific fraud, no undisclosed financial conflicts of interest, no ethical breaches in performing tests on sick children, and no complaints from patients or their families, then what was the big deal? Did the international scandal and multi-million dollar prosecution proceed merely to chastise a doctor for drawing blood from children at a birthday party, with their consent and their parents’ consent? Of course not.

    Dr. Wakefield was, and remains, a dissident from medical orthodoxy. The medical establishment subjected him to a modern-day medical show trial for his dissent. Dr. Wakefield’s research raised fundamental doubts about the safety of vaccines and the etiology of autism. Dr. Wakefield was punished for his temerity to caution the public about vaccine risks and to urge them to use their own judgment. Dr. Wakefield was punished for upholding vaccination choice.

    Listen to an indepth interview by Del Bigtree on the fraud and lies that surround this man, his data and the damage vaccines do cause our children.



    In this episode of The High Wire, Del Bigtree interviews this “anti-vax” doctor who was taken down by pharma for merely suggesting the link between vaccination and damage to a child’s gut. Shocking new information, & candid admissions, reveal the real fraud in the case of Andrew Wakefield. 

    HIGHLIGHTS

    The British Medical Journal, funded by Merck and GSK vaccine manufacturers of the MMR vaccines, write a series of editorials against Dr. Andrew Wakefield accusing him of manipulating data (original source documents prove otherwise).

    QUOTES BY ANDREW WAKEFIELD:

    I’m not going to stop the work on behalf of these children. That’s why I am here 20 years later I am not going to quit. Why? Because we are winning! We are winning because the truth is coming out. Its coming out because of Vaxxed, and Del Bigtree’s High Wire, and a lot of people around the world telling the truth and deciding enough is enough. This is not the time to walk away or be concerned. – Andrew Wakefield

    We are going to win and a measure of how much we are winning and how well we are winning is how angry they are. How they are forced to pass laws to mandate vaccinations here in California in order ram their belief systems and their profiteering down the throats of parents because they can’t pursue them through the process of confidence based on the science that what they are saying is true because its a lie. In the meantime, there are thousands and thousands of children being damaged as a consequence of this policy and that’s got to stop.
    – Andrew Wakefield

    Dell Bigtree to Andrew Wakefield: I hope that what can be revealed here can write the course of science because it was taken off course by one journalist hired by Rupert Murdock and his son involved with the very board to try and protect the company that you were investigating (essentially) and their vaccine. I hope we can get back to these 100,000 of parents that are suffering with their children with autism at all have eye witness accounts of watching the vaccine do it.

    New papers are coming to the SAME CONCLUSION as Dr. Wakefield a pioneer in this connection between brain and gut. The story isn’t over…

  • Toxic Heavy Metals Found in Organic Chocolate

    A study by As You Sow found levels of cadmium and lead, two toxic heavy metals, in 45 of 70 chocolate bar samples (including some organic brands) at levels higher than what is considered to be safe in drinking water. While you would have to eat an enormous amount of chocolate to be affected, if this was the sole source of exposure.  Its one of many places we are bombarded by toxins unfortunately, heavy metals are in a lot of food products. Unfortunately, heavy metals accumulate in the body ingested and injected over time these toxins build up. Cadmium and Lead are neurotoxic and carcinogenic. Current regulations for cadmium are based on threats to adults, and the kidneys have been considered the most sensitive organ to its toxic effects. Classified as a known human carcinogen, it is linked to lung, kidney and prostate cancer in workers.

    A study in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry examined the levels of lead and cadmium in white, milk, and dark chocolate sold in Brazil. They concluded that dark chocolates had the highest amounts of lead and cadmium.

    Cadmium is a heavy metal considered toxic for the human body. When ingested or inhaled, it is not well absorbed by the body, so it accumulates over time and can have detrimental effects on kidneys, lungs and bones and on the brain. This is why it is classified as a human carcinogen and can potentially increase the risks of cancer and considered neurotoxic.

    Children with higher cadmium levels are three times more likely to have learning disabilities and participate in special education, according to a study led by Harvard University researchers. Dr. Robert Wright, the study’s senior author, emphasized that the links to learning disabilities and special education were found at commonplace levels previously thought to be benign.  Some studies of adult workers have shown that high exposures can trigger neurological problems, and small, earlier studies of children found links to mental retardation and decreased IQs.

    Cadmium stays in the body for long periods, so tests measured amounts the children were exposed to over years.

    “One of the important points of the study is that we didn’t study a population of kids who had very high exposures. We studied a population representative of the U.S. That we found any [effect] suggests this is occurring at relatively low levels,” said Wright, an associate professor of pediatrics and environmental health at Harvard.

    Lead has been studied and regulated for many decades, leading to a large amount of evidence that it reduces children’s IQs at low concentrations and contributes to attention disorders and even violent behaviors. It interferes with the development of synopses, or connections between neurons, that allow a child to learn.

    Since cadmium is also a heavy metal, it might have similar effects on the brain, said Lanphear, one of the world’s leading experts on the effects of lead in children. But unlike lead, cadmium “is relatively understudied as respect to brain toxicity,”  said Wright, an associate professor of pediatrics and environmental health at Harvard.

    What’s Heavy Metal Doing in My Chocolate? 

    According to the As You Sow, the source of lead and cadmium is contamination through one of the various processing steps a bean undergoes after the harvest. These steps include fermentation, drying of the cacao bean, and manufacturing processes such as grinding, refining, and conching. Other opportunities for contamination are shipping, handling, and finally, packaging. Studies have shown that much of the “lead contamination in (chocolate) products occurs after the beans are harvested and dried, during the shipping of those beans and/or the manufacturing of cocoa and chocolate products.”.8, 9

    Cadmium and lead are toxic heavy metals that are released into the environment through manmade industrial processes including mining, burning fossil fuels such as coal or oil, incineration of municipal waste (plastics/batteries). It is also released by battery manufacturers, smelters, electroplating plants and other industries. It is one of the top chemicals reported in Superfund sites, found in virtually all of them, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention document.

    Cadmium and lead also enter soil through the disposal of sewage sludge, or the application of pesticides or phosphate fertilizers (which can contain high levels of cadmium).4, 7

    Once released into the atmosphere, respirable-sized airborne particles attach to dust, can travel long distances, and will be deposited onto the earth, where they move easily through soil layers and can be taken up into the food chain. Once mined and introduced into the atmosphere, these heavy metals can move from air to soil to water, but do not break down easily and will remain for decades.4, 7

    Its Regulated Right? 

    The FDA does not consistently monitor food for lead and cadmium contamination. California has the most health protective standards in the country for the presence of lead and cadmium in consumer products, and requires the manufacturer to warn consumers if a product contains chemicals known to cause cancer and/or birth defects or other reproductive harm, above the safe harbor level set by California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment. They require a warning label on their products if they contain more than 4.1 mg of cadmium per daily serving. The latest news in the legal department is the introduction by the European Union of new limits on the amount of cadmium in cocoa products. They will be enforced starting 1 January 2019.

    As You Sow commissioned an independent state-certified laboratory to measure levels of lead and cadmium in over 120 chocolate products available at retailers across California. In 2018, As You Sow legal efforts culminated in a first-of-its-kind settlement with many of the world’s largest chocolate companies. Thirty-one chocolate companies, including Barry Callebaut (USA), Blommer Chocolate Co., Cargill, Inc., Guittard Chocolate Co., The Hershey Company, Lindt & Sprungli (North America), Mars Incorporated, Mondelez Global LLC, and Nestle USA, Inc, committed to funding an independent Expert Committee to investigate the sources of lead and cadmium in chocolate and find feasible measures to lower levels of these metals by 2025.

    While this work is ongoing, the chocolate companies have also agreed to provide interim warnings for their products if they exceed specified concentrations of lead and/or cadmium in their chocolates. These agreed upon warning levels range from 0.1 ppm to 0.225 ppm for lead and 0.4 ppm cadmium to .960 ppm for cadmium, depending on the percent of cacao contained in the product. These warning levels may be reduced based on the results reached by the Committee.

  • SIDS: 1 dead child in 4,000 Vaccinated with Pediarix

    A healthy baby dying for no apparent reason is called SIDS. It is not a real syndrome, it is “the sudden death of an infant less than one year of age that cannot be explained after a thorough investigation is conducted, including a complete autopsy, examination of the death scene, and a review of the clinical history.”6 

    “We have no clue what caused this healthy baby to suddenly die, even though this baby received vaccines for 8 different diseases today/yesterday/just a few days ago, but because we have been assured that vaccines are safe (yet have no clue what is actually *in* them, nor how those substances affect the body), it’s definitely NOT the vaccines, we ‘know’ that for sure…”

    But SIDS rates tend to spike within days of receiving vaccines. Coincidence? Not likely if you look at the numbers…

    In 2016, the U.S., as a whole, registered nearly six infant deaths per 100,000 live births.4 SIDS deaths in Idaho, as with much of the United States infants die at an increased rate without explanation between 2 and 4 months of age.

    Out of 14 SIDS infant deaths in Idaho, nine families buried their infant aged 2 months to 4 months old. Unexplained? 

    What we know: SIDS occurs most often at 2, 4, and 6 months of age… when several vaccines (typically 7-8 vaccines) are administered all at once, and research has shown that an infant is nearly 8x more likely to die within *three days* following vaccination with pertussis, compared to 30 days later.

    Looks at the manufacturer insert for the Pediarix vaccine. Pediarix is a combined immunization against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), polio, and hepatitis B. It is given in 3 shots to babies under 6 months old.  The CDC approved the vaccine use even though the manufacturer ‘safety’ trials reflect that 1 out of 4000 infants will die after receiving the vaccine. 

    Here’s the vaccine package insert for just one of the vaccines in use today. In it the manufacturer states that 1 in 4,000 children could die of SIDS as a result of its use.

    PROOF: SIDS (Vaccine-Induced Death Syndrome) is Cause By the Pediarix DTaP Combo Vaccine

    Doctors will recite what they’ve been taught in pharmaceutical school—that vaccines injuries and deaths are 1-in-a-million. Well, here’s the vaccine manufacturer’s own document disputing that number by stating that their product has killed 1-in-4,000 children during research trials. 

    And that’s just one vaccine. 
    Doctors and ‘health officials” are pushing multiple vaccines at one visit. So what does that do to the rate of SIDS? We’ll never know because vaccines aren’t studied in combination with other vaccines. The next shot could be your child’s last.

    These deaths are labeled Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDs) or one of the many other unknown deaths categories. But healthy babies should NOT be dying, especially in such high numbers. 

    <excerpt of article from LearnTheRisk>

    Increasing Vaccine Doses and Increasing Infant Mortality Rates

    Although medical authorities tend to reject the theory that vaccination could lead to infant death, there is anecdotal evidence in the form of innumerable personal stories about infants, who were healthy and died suddenly without explanation after vaccination.14 As reported by the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), “developed nations with poor infant mortality rates, like the U.S., tend to give their infants more doses of vaccines before age one.”15 A 2011 study found “a high statistically significant correlation between increasing numbers of vaccine doses and increasing infant mortality rates.”16

    In 2015, CDC officials published an analysis of deaths following vaccination that were reported to the federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) between 1997 and 2013. Most death reports involved male children under age 17. Among 1,244 child death reports with available death certificates and autopsy reports, 44 percent (544) were listed as sudden infant death syndrome. There were 146 child deaths categorized as “undetermined.” Nearly 80 percent of children who died after vaccination had received more than one vaccination on the same day. The number of deaths reported in children following vaccination exceeded those in adults in every one of the 16 years reviewed. 3

    Excerpt from The Vaccine Reaction

    Why after decades of data analysis has the SIDS vaccine connection remained ‘inconclusive’?

    One researcher stated that the vaccine SIDS connection could easily be answered by simply setting up a simple protocol. “Any case of sudden unexpected death occurring perinatally and in infancy, especially soon after a vaccination, should always undergo a full necropsy study.”

    Vaccine Court Rules.

    Unfortunately it’s not just a presumption or a correlation that vaccines can cause death, or “SIDS”.

    A Special Master of the US vaccine court has ruled that an almost 5 month old baby who was vaccinated for seven diseases at once, per the recommended CDC schedule, died from – the vaccines.

    This was filed July 10, 2017:

    “In this case, I have concluded, after review of the evidence, that it is more likely than not that the vaccines played a substantial causal role in the death of J.B. without the effect of which he would not have died. The role of inflammatory cytokines as neuro-modulators in the infant medulla has been well described and is likely the reason for a significant number of SIDS deaths occurring in conjunction with mild infection. I have concluded that it is more likely than not that the vaccine-stimulated cytokines had the same effect in this vulnerable infant during sleep.”

    It can no longer be debated that the neurotoxic action of these harmful substances in vaccines – especially aluminum, can cause excitotoxicity, encephalitis, and death. It has been proven, in the most difficult court to win in… Vaccine Court.

  • Heart Disease. What if Cholesterol isn’t to Blame?

    Here’s a secret most drug manufacturers don’t want you to know – millions of people die from heart attacks with normal cholesterol levels.Three Large Industry-Funded studies found it was impossible for cholesterol to be the main cause of heart disease. For years, decades in fact, we have been conned into thinking that high cholesterol levels were contributing factors to heart disease. “Cholesterol and heart disease has been almost synonymous for the last half-century. Cholesterol has been portrayed as the Darth Vader to our arteries and our heart.”, Ron Rosedale, MD. While heart disease is a real health problem, cholesterol isn’t necessarily to blame.

    “Cholesterol is ESSENTIAL to every cell in the body.”

    Would you believe that cholesterol is a good thing?

    Cholesterol is a fatty substance produced by the liver that performs or assists in thousands of bodily functions such as building cell membranes, nerve sheaths, and critical for your brain.25% of the cholesterol in our body is found in the brain. It works to facilitate membrane function and is the raw material for making progesterone, estrogen, cortisol, testosterone and vitamin D.

    Learn more about cholesterol’s benefits on this interview from Healthmade Radio with Dr. Jack Wolfson and Dr. Michael Karlfeldt

    It was determined many years ago that the majority of cholesterol in your bloodstream
    comes from what your liver is manufacturing and distributing. The amount of cholesterol that one eats plays little role in determining your cholesterol levels. It is also known that HDL shuttles cholesterol away from tissues, and away from your arteries, back to your liver. That is why HDL is called the “good cholesterol;” because it is supposedly taking cholesterol away from your arteries. But let’s think about that.

    • Why does your liver make sure that you have plenty of cholesterol?
    • Why is HDL taking cholesterol back to your liver?
    • Why not take it right to your kidneys, or your intestines to get rid of it?

    The body’s natural process of taking cholesterol back to your liver so that your liver can recycle it; put it back into other particles to be taken to tissues and cells that need it. Your body is trying to make and conserve the cholesterol for the precise reason that it is so important, indeed vital, for health. 3

    Cholesterol-Lowering Drugs are Dangerous.

    Cholesterol-lowering drugs are dispensed like candy at the doctor’s office. Turn on the TV or radio and you are assured to hear a commercial about cholesterol dangers and why you need a drug to lower your numbers. Even your next-door neighbor or work colleague is bragging about the drug that lowered their numbers.

    If this sounds familiar, you are not alone. Statin drugs used to combat high cholesterol actually do way more harm than good…they kill more people than they save. Millions of people swallow pharmaceuticals to lower cholesterol. This is totally unnecessary “the benefits from statin treatment have been exaggerated”. 2

    Dr. Mercola says, “Using drugs to reduce cholesterol levels or inflammation may increase your risk of fatal side effects; natural remedies that are not associated with dangerous health problems include magnesium, balancing essential fats and reducing hyperinsulinemia.”

    Cholesterol is one of the “most vital” molecules in the body and prevents infection, cancer, muscle pain and other conditions in elderly people. Lowering cholesterol with medications for primary cardiovascular prevention in those aged over 60 is a total waste of time and resources, whereas altering your lifestyle is the single most important way to achieve a good quality of life. -Vascular and endovascular surgery expert Professor Sherif Sultan from the University of Ireland

    This information is more than two years old, so why are doctor’s still prescribing cholesterol reducing drugs to patients to ‘reduce their risk of heart disease’? Perhaps its the $316,000,000 paid by patients and insurance companies each year for treatments for heart disease that plays a role in their recommendations. 5

    If not cholesterol then what is causing heart disease?

    The fixation on cholesterol as a major cause of heart disease defies the last 15 years of science and deflects from real causes such as the damage (via glycation) that sugars such as glucose and fructose inflict on tissues, including the lining of arteries, causing chronic inflammation and resultant plaque. Ron Rosedale, MD

    Hundreds of excellent scientific articles have linked insulin resistance and more recently leptin resistance to cardiovascular disease
    much more strongly than cholesterol, and they are in fact at least partially responsible for cholesterol abnormalities. For instance, insulin and leptin
    resistance result in “small dense” LDL particles and a greater number of particles. This is much more important than the total cholesterol number. 

    The focus therefore should be to reduce inflammation.

    Chronic inflammation at the cellular level is the root cause of most all diseases.

    This is a serious concern that most regular MD’s aren’t treating. Rather, they are just prescribing Big Pharma medications to treat the symptoms of inflammation, rather than the causes of the inflammation itself. Dr. Wolfson, Paleo Carteologist suggests, instead of taking a statin for the rest of your life to treat a symptom, seek out a natural doctor who will get to the cause of why your arteries are inflamed.

  • Sunshine Reduces Risk of 17 Types of Cancer

    Without the sun, there is no life. Thus, it’s only common sense that your body needs sunshine for healthy living. Tragically, we have been told to avoid the sun by media and doctors alike. We have been told to apply sunscreen if we are in the sun, even though this sunscreen causes cancer because of its ingredients. Sunscreen blocks UVA and UVB radiation, which are part of solar radiation necessary for good health. That is why our skin and eye contain receptors for this form of energy.

    Sunscreens are TOXIC

    The wide-spread use of sunscreen in society is undoubtedly a major reason for the explosion of cancer rates in the U.S. First, the vast majority of sunscreens contain toxic ingredients, thus likely to increase cancer risk. Secondly, sunshine, as your will see below, decreases cancer risk. Therefore, if you avoid the sun, you increase your risk of cancer. 

    • The sun creates vitamin D. Adequate amounts of Vitamin D are vital for good health.
    • The sun controls our circadian rhythm, the internal body clock that makes us tick.
    • The sun causes release of nitric oxide. See this blog post about the importance of nitric oxide.

    Sun Exposure is Good. Sunburn is Bad. 

    Let me be clear. We don’t want you to allow the sun to burn your skin. Recurrent sunburn is bad. Protect yourself and your children with a natural sunscreen when facing prolonged exposure. Read the ingredients. If you can’t pronounce them, don’t buy it. Wear a hat and a long shirt/pants when exposure is prolonged and it is your first time in the sun for a while. (See our article on sunscreens)

    There are basically 3 types of skin cancer: basal cell, squamous cell, and melanoma. The last one, melanoma can be deadly. But the good news is that sunshine LOWERS the risk of melanoma. 

    For the medical journal articles, please see below. The other two skin cancers, basal and squamous, are mostly cosmetic and easily removed by a dermatologist. According to Harvard medical doctor, Michael Holick, the link between sunshine and squamous cell/basal cell skin cancer is weak. The number of people who die yearly of basal cell skin cancer? Zero.

    Take off your sunglasses and your prescription glasses. Let the energy from the sun come in through the eyes, hit the back of eye called the retina, and work its magic. Remember, our ancestors were in the sun for most of the day. Naked. Nature intended for your body to benefit from the sun.

    Here’s more good health news. The sun lowers your risk of these 17 cancers:

    1) Melanoma
    2) Colon
    3) Breast
    4) Prostate
    5) Lymphoma
    6) Bladder
    7) Lung
    8) Pancreas
    9) Brain
    10) Kidney
    11) Uterus
    12) Esophagus
    13) Ovarian
    14) Mouth
    15) Thyroid
    16) Cervix
    17) Leukemia

  • TdaP Study Excluded all “Bad Outcomes” to “Prove” Vaccination in Pregnancy is Safe

    American Academy of Pediatrics researchers claim that they found NO association between vaccination during pregnancy and infant hospitalization or death in the first six months of life, Not so fast! They EXCLUDED bad outcomes such as death, hospitalization or pre-term birth from their figures before analysis. They virtually eliminated all of the evidence that vaccines in pregnancy are harming and killing infants, from their study.

    Some of the exclusions from their study:

    • ALL CASES OF HOSPITALIZATION OR DEATH of the infant during pregnancy or birth.
    • ALL CASES OF BIRTH DEFECTS in infants.
    • ALL CASES OF PRE-TERM BIRTH before 34 weeks gestation.
    • ALL CASES OF PERINATAL COMPLICATIONS (complications shortly before/during/after birth)

    THIS is the type of junk “science” that is used to defend the idea of vaccine safety. The CDC approved all these exclusions…Proving once again how the science is biased, controlled, and manipulated for the desired results!

    James Lyons-Weiler, PhD comments on their conclusions and exclusion:

    “infants born before 34 weeks’ gestation…”

    OK. STOP.  REALLY.  PRE-TERM BIRTHS ARE A VERY SERIOUS CONCERN.  WHAT IF TDAP USE IN PREGNANCY CAUSES PRE-TERM BIRTHS???  I’m sure pregnant women would like to know. 

    ‘…a perinatal complication (such as placental abruption) that would likely be unrelated to maternal vaccination”….

    THIS IS NOT SCIENCE. CIRCULAR REASONING RULES.  VACCINES ARE SAFE, SO LET’S NOT DO A VACCINATED VS. UNVACCINATED. VACCINES ARE SAFE, SO LET’S IGNORE THE DATA THAT WE HAVE ALREADY COLLECTED TO DETERMINE IF VACCINES ARE SAFE – BECAUSE VACCINES ARE SAFE.

    – jameslyonsweiler.com

    .And of course, they will never perform a study that compares the vaccinated to the unvaccinated. It’s beyond maddening. 

    Thank you James Lyons-Weiler, PhD for your comments
