  • Proximity to Cell Tower Increases Cancer Risk

    A mother is Eagle Idaho is fighting for her family’s health and those of her neighbors. <sign the petition> Can you imagine a cell tower being installed 25 feet from your organic garden and not far from your children’s playset? Interestingly, even the cell companies say that “safe distance” is 1/4 mile. Not 80 feet. This family moved here from CA to help their little girl recover from leukemia and years of chemo. She does not need to be bombarded by microwaves all day and night – nor does anyone. The fact that neighbors can sell out to a cellular company without consent from neighbors is deeply concerning. Cellular microwaves are proven to increase rates of cancer, damage cells and DNA, reduce sperm count, inhibit the heart and cardiovascular system and cause other health issues. This should not be allowed in neighborhoods. www.reactunite.org

    In a German study, doctors examined close to 1000 patients to see if living at the same address close to a cell tower for 10 years affected cancer risk. The social and age differences within the study group were small, with no ethnic diversity.

    They discovered that the proportion of newly developed cancer cases was three times higher for those living within 1300 feet (a quarter of a mile) of a cellular transmitter compared to those living further away. In addition, they found that the patients became ill with cancer on average 8 years earlier.

    A distance of 1300 feet (400m) is of particular importance. This is because computer simulation and measurements used in the study indicated that the radiation at that distance or less (the “inner area”) is 100 times greater than emissions beyond that distance (the “outer area”).

    Another important observation from the research is that for the first 5 years of living near a cell phone tower, the risks were no different than someone living far away from one. However, in years 6-10, the cancer risks jumped more than threefold for those living a quarter of a mile or less from a mobile tower.

    Even more concerning, the average age of diagnosis was much younger. Risk for breast cancer, prostate, pancreas, bowel, melanoma, lung, and blood cancer all increased substantially.

    The risks for breast cancer were most significant for those living in the inner area, with an average age of 50.8 year for a cancer diagnosis compared with nearly two decades later (70 years of age) for those in the outer area.

    Israeli Mobile Phone Tower Research

    Israeli research conducted by Tel Aviv University confirms a similar pattern.

    In this study, 622 people living 1148 feet (350m) or less from a cell phone transmission station for 3-7 years were compared to 1222 controls living further away.

    Out of the high exposure group, 8 cases of cancer were diagnosed within just one year. 3 cases of breast cancer and 1 case each of ovarian, lung, bone, kidney and lymphatic cancer.

    In the control group, only 2 cases of cancer occurred even though the control group was roughly twice as large as the highly exposed group.

    Based on these results, the researchers calculated the relative risk of cancer to be over four times higher for those living 350m or less (about one-fifth of a mile) from a cell phone transmitter.

    Cell Phone Tower Safety. What Should YOU Do?

    Check out antennasearch.com. Type in your address. Look up the existing towers AND the future towers in your area. 

    This site provides information on how many cell phone towers and mobile antennas are in your area. The exact distance of each from your home address is provided as well.

    Cell towers are increasingly disguised as trees, are placed on existing buildings and other structures. A typical mobile phone tower will hold 10 or more cellular antennas for various companies.

    If you are planning to buy a home in the near future, consideration of cellular phone infrastructure nearby is very important. It ranks right up there with schools and other positives and negatives about the neighborhood. (look for those RED tower symbols on the map on attennasearch.com)

    As more research concerning the effects of EMFs on human biology emerges, real estate prices will likely be affected by their relative proximity to cell phone towers and/or antennas.

    How do we STOP a cell tower from being built in our residential communities? 

    The cell phone companies got a provision in the federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 that cell phone towers can not be denied placement due to health reasons alone. They have taken the power and control from States and local communities. Our leadership must now make decisions solely on property value and property rights without regard to health and safety.

  • I No Longer Participate in the US National Vaccine Plan

    Yesterday, the Washington Post ran a story titled, “Percentage of young U.S. children who don’t receive any vaccines has quadrupled since 2001.” In the story, it was reported that, “Reasons for the increase couldn’t be determined from the data reported to CDC, the agency said.” What is the purpose of such an article? To target families who choose to opt-out of the 72 vaccines that are currently liability-free products and mandated for school. 

    Ginger Taylor, MS, the mother of a vaccine injured child, published a letter in the Johns Hopkins journal, Narrative Inquiry in Bioethics, entitled, “Families are Under No Obligation to Put Their Children at Risk By Participating in the Corrupt Current US National Immunization Program.”

    In the letter she lays out a portion of the corruption and unnecessary health risks that families are being subjected to, and states that she will no longer participate in the program. She shares the fact of her ‘lack of participation’ in a petition to the White House. You can share too.

    Sign the Petition: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/i-no-longer-participate-us-national-vaccine-plan

    Since the 1980’s, parents have been asking for safety reform in the CDC’s increasingly risky vaccine program. Despite this, the only reform implemented has been to change the name of the program from, “The National Immunization Program,” to, “The National Vaccine Plan.”

    • Fact: Vaccine reactions, contraindications, injuries and deaths happen…daily
    • Fact: Over $3.8 Billion has been paid out in the vaccine injury court (and only a small percentage of cases are even reported) with tax-payer’s dollars
    • Fact: Thousands and Thousands of families are living with vaccine injury, from mild to severe
    • Fact: The reported Autism number is 1 in 36 kids
    • Fact: There are hundreds of vaccines in the pipeline waiting to be added to the childhood (and adult) schedule 
    • Fact: Vaccines (individually and cumulatively) have never been tested with the rigorous gold standard double blind placebo safety studies. The Department of Health and Human Services hasn’t addressed vaccine safety in 32 years.
    • Fact: If/when you have a vaccine reaction, you’re on your own, don’t expect your doctor or the vaccine manufacturers to support you
    • Fact: Some vaccine reactions are instant (seizure, death) while some present themselves weeks, months or years later {{vaccines have not been studied!!}}
    • Fact: Aluminum, formaldehyde, MSG, aborted fetal tissue, glyphosate, monkey kidney cells (just to name a few) are in vaccines and have never been tested
    • Fact: Vaccines have not been tested for carcinogenic or mutagenic potential, or potential to impair fertility
    • Fact: There is still mercury in certain flu shots
    • Fact: National Childhood Vaccine Act of 1986 passed in Congress, providing total liability protection to the vaccine makers. They cannot be sued and have no incentive to produce clean vaccines
    • Fact: The vaccine agenda is corrupt, unstudied and a FOR PROFIT (over health) business.

  • Return of Polio? Six Studies Linking Acute Myelitis (aka paralysis) to Vaccines

    Eight confirmed or probable cases of acute flaccid myelitis this year in Texas. On Tuesday, officials in Minnesota said they have seen six cases. They typically see zero to one cases of AFM per year, on average. ABC News reports nine cases were diagnosed recently in Illinois, five cases in Washington state, and a single case was confirmed in Wisconsin. Acute Flaccid Myelitis (AFM) is now in multiple states!!!  All would have been diagnosed as polio in the 50’s. All of them. 

    CNN says, The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported a spike in a mysterious polio-like illness, confirmed this year in nearly half of the states in the country. Most of the cases are in children. Like polio, AFM affects the body’s nervous system — specifically, the spinal cord — and can cause paralysis. What we do not know: the exact cause of the illness, though scientists think it is most likely the result of a viral infection. Other potential culprits include environmental toxins, genetic disorders and Guillain-Barré syndrome, according to the CDC. The CDC said there have been 362 cases of AFM recorded in the U.S. from 2014 to 2018. 

    WHAT IS ACUTE FLACCID MYELITIS?

    From the Transverse Myelitis Association:

    Acute Flaccid Myelitis (AFM) is a variant or sub-type of transverse myelitis. AFM is inflammation of the spinal cord and generally presents with unique clinical and MRI features that are not typical of classical transverse myelitis. AFM abnormalities noted on MRI are predominantly found in the gray matter of the spinal cord. In 2013, an outbreak of what is now believed to be this sub-type of transverse myelitis occurred in California and more cases were reported in the summer and fall of 2014 across the United States. The enterovirus (EV-D68) has been suspect in many of these cases however, it has not been definitively proven that it is this particular virus that has caused the paralysis,1 although several cases of AFM occurred at around the same time as an outbreak of the EV-D68 virus.

    So… AFM is one form of TM – Transverse Myelitis.

    IS THERE EVIDENCE THAT VACCINES ARE ASSOCIATED WITH TRANSVERSE MYELITIS?

    Yes.

    Transverse myelitis is a rare clinical syndrome in which an immune-mediated process causes neural injury to the spinal cord. The pathogenesis of transverse myelitis is mostly of an autoimmune nature, triggered by various environmental factors, including vaccination. Our aim here was to search for and analyze reported cases of transverse myelitis following vaccination. A systematic review of PubMed, EMBASE and DynaMed for all English-language journals published between 1970 and 2009 was preformed, utilizing the key words transverse myelitis, myelitis, vaccines, post-vaccination, vaccination and autoimmunity. We have disclosed 37 reported cases of transverse myelitis associated with different vaccines including those against hepatitis B virus, measles-mumps-rubella, diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis and others, given to infants, children and adults. In most of these reported cases the temporal association was between several days and 3 months, although a longer time frame of up to several years was also suggested. Although vaccines harbor a major contribution to public health in the modern era, in rare cases they may be associated with autoimmune phenomena such as transverse myelitis. The associations of different vaccines with a single autoimmune phenomenon allude to the idea that a common denominator of these vaccines, such as an adjuvant, might trigger this syndrome.

    “MYSTERIOUS” MYELITIS?!!

    Six studies linking acute myelitis (aka paralysis) to vaccines, particularly the flu shot. These take two minutes to research.

    Why are all the cases so “mysterious” to the media?! Let’s help them out by sharing this information on their FB pages, Twitter AND on all the State Health Department posts. Some of the stories are even pushing further vaccines…

    1. “In fact, a number of inflammatory disorders of the central nervous system [myelitis] have been associated with the administration of various vaccines.”
    — www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27023738

    2. “We reviewed the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) database of the Dent Neurologic Institute to study the abnormal findings in myelitis. We identified 9 patients, with acute transverse myelitis. Although readily distinguishable from lesions due to MS, the various etiologies for ATM, including post-infectious (n = 2), post-vaccination (n = 3), and idiopathic (n = 4) were indistinguishable on MRI.”
    — www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10210810

    3. “It should be recognized that certain vaccines might trigger serious neurological immune phenomena such as Guillain-Barre syndrome, seizures, cranial neuropathy, and acute disseminated encephaloMYELITIS (ADEM). Here we report on an elderly woman with ADEM following seasonal influenza [flu] vaccination.”
    — www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3889594/

    4. “A wide variety of inflammatory diseases temporally associated with the administration of various vaccines, has been reported in the literature. The most commonly reported vaccinations that were associated with CNS demyelinating diseases included influenza (21 cases), human papilloma virus (HPV) (9 cases), hepatitis A or B (8 cases), rabies (5 cases), measles (5 cases), rubella (5 cases), yellow fever (3 cases), anthrax (2 cases), meningococcus (2 cases) and tetanus (2 cases). Usually the symptoms of the CNS demyelinating syndrome appear a few days following the immunization (average: 14.2 days).
    — www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24514081

    5. “We describe two adult cases of neurologic complications occurring after influenza vaccination. The first case was a 62-year-old man who experienced convulsions 5 days after vaccination, and the second case was a 70-year-old man who exhibited paraplegia 7 days after vaccination. Diagnoses of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis and transverse MYELITIS with acute motor axonal neuropathy were made.”
    — www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12636241

    6. “Acquired Demyelinating disorders [MYELITIS] of the central nervous system in children span a wide spectrum. The etiology of acquired demyelinating conditions is multi-factorial namely – genetic, post-infectious, post-immunization…Vaccines, specifically the influenza, rabies and smallpox vaccines have also beenreported.”
    — www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24514081/

    HAS TRANSVERSE MYELITIS BEEN RECOGNIZED BY THE VACCINE COURT AS VACCINE-INJURY?

    Yes.

    WHAT VACCINES ARE KNOWN TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH TRANSVERSE MYELITIS?

    • DTaP (Diphtheria, Tetanus, acellular Pertussis) vaccine
    • Hepatitis B vaccine
    • HPV vaccine (Gardasil, Cervaris)
    • Influenza (Flu) vaccine
    • MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) vaccine
    • Meningococcal vaccine
    • TDap (Tetanus, Diphtheria, acellular Pertussis) vaccine

    Confirmed Cases Clustered Around Back to School Enrollment Shots

    CDC data shows a heavy concentration of cases, mostly in children, during the months of August-October. This coincides with annual vaccination programs.

    https://www.cdc.gov/acute-flaccid-myelitis/afm-surveillance.html

    It is a known fact that injecting a child with a vaccine can injure tissue and drive enteroviruses, such as EV-68, into the spinal cord. This is known as polio provocation and was researched in the 1950’s and later confirmed further in 1998. “It is taboo to suggest a role for vaccines, but some old-timers remember “provocation poliomyelitis” or “provocation paralysis.” This is paralytic polio following intramuscular injections, typically with vaccines. . . .

    If a polio-like virus is circulating in the U.S., the possibility of its provocation by one or more vaccines has to be considered.”–thebmj

    “In 1955, evidence that some pediatric injections could incite polio infection and paralysis led to extraordinary shifts in health policy and calculated efforts to mitigate the risk. . .

    American newspapers advised parents to postpone vaccinations during warm weather or epidemics, citing evidence that some children developed polio within a month of injection. . .

    US health organisations and charities, including the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Public Health Association, accommodated the possibility of polio provocation and encouraged health professionals to avoid “indiscriminate” injections and “booster shots” during epidemics. . . .

    In 1998, State University of New York researchers Matthias Gromeier and Eckard Wimmer published a pioneering article on the mechanism of injection-induced polio paralysis.” –The Lancet

    IS THERE EFFECTIVE TREATMENT FOR VACCINE-INDUCED TRANSVERSE MYELITIS?

    Yes. If it is recognized as a vaccine-injury, and treated accordingly.

    Four days following novel influenza A(H1N1) vaccination, the patient developed longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis. Extensive diagnostic evaluation effectively ruled out causes other than vaccination-associated transverse myelitis. Following treatment with corticosteroids and plasmapheresis, the patient made a significant recovery.

  • Gut Cleansing

    The mystery demystified. Our clients experience miracles after cleansing and healing the gut, David DeHaas, of Living Waters Wellness Center, in Boise, shares with HFI. 

    He first heard of colon hydrotherapy in 1990, it wasn’t until 1996 that he actually tried it. Sick intermittently for many years prior to his first treatment, DeHaas who later become a naturopathic health coach and colon hydrotherapist, suffered from allergies, asthma, fatigue, muscle pain, psoriasis, candida, fungus, heavy metal toxicity and cancer. Although he’d tried various natural healing modalities, DeHaas never fully healed.

    “By the time that someone recommended colon hydrotherapy, I was desperate to get better, so I tried it. Because I had no clue what it was and thought it sounded invasive and weird, I was surprised by how easy and comfortable the private process was. After I did many sessions, my health improved dramatically. I felt younger and lighter. Also, I didn’t ache anymore, my skin cleared up and I was able to think clearly,” he says.

    Always excited at the opportunity to tell clients about the many benefits from deeply cleansing the colon, the body’s main passageway for eliminating toxins, DeHaas enthuses, “I let people know that if they are sick, their colon isn’t working properly.”

    Through knowledge gained from years of experience in the health industry and working as a colon hydrotherapist, DeHaas has developed a life-changing, 10-day deep tissue cleansing processes which combines natural healing modalities, including far-infrared therapy, pulse frequency, herbs, lymph detox, sound therapy, light therapy, and mind mapping. “The process gives our clients the tools to drastically improve their health in just 10 days. We’ve witnessed our own family members heal life-threatening illnesses with this deep tissue cleanse,” he says.

    When asked why you can’t do a cleanse by juicing, fasting or taking a product, DeHaas responded, “ Juicing and fasting gives your digestive system a rest, but the body won’t be cleansed. Think of a refrigerator with old rotting food in it. You can’t get it clean by putting clean food in it. You need to clean out the refrigerator first then fill it with clean food.”

    When questioned about why the program lasts for 10 days, DeHaas explains, “It takes 10 days of cleansing to clean out the intestinal tract and tissues. In addition, you are doing a parasite, lymph, kidney and pancreas cleanse, as well as clearing out negative thoughts, emotions and toxic energy.”

    The gut is recognized as the body’s second brain. Every organ and appendage in the body is connected via nerves to the intestine. There are more neurons in the intestinal tract than in the spine. If those neurons aren’t firing, there is an imbalance in the body. Rotting fecal matter in the small intestine covers up the villi and deteriorates the microbiome. Villi are small finger-like projections of tissue which increase the surface area of the intestine and contain specialized cells that transport substances into the bloodstream. Although these villi do not aid in the digestion of nutrients, they do help with nutrient absorption.

    To improve health, the cells have to heal. Picture the cells as the body’s engine. Over time, the engine breaks down and needs new parts. “Vitamins, minerals and herbs are the ‘parts’ for the cells,” clarifies DeHaas, who notes that if the intestinal tract is toxic, the parts can’t be absorbed into bloodstream for delivery to cells. Moreover, if the liver is toxic, it can’t clean the blood, which is the transportation highway to the cells.

    “Ours is a simple healing formula. Clean the colon, small intestine and blood, and transfer perfect nutrients to the cells,” declares DeHaas.

  • ACTION ALERT! Stop Your $10 Supplement from costing $40,000 as a “Drug”

    Many diseases and conditions are linked to poor gut health. Individuals have sought ways to support their bodies with diet and supplements. L-glutamine is one of those supplements. While not appropriate for every condition, access to this supplement is vital for some families working on healing gut issues. A move by drug companies to turn supplements into drugs and REMOVE THE SUPPLEMENT VERSIONS from the market is underway. Join Health Freedom Idaho as we Tell Congress to leave our supplements ALONE! 

    For years, consumers have benefitted from access to cheap, safe, and effective CBD oil and L-glutamine supplements. But now the FDA says that CBD is a drug, not a supplement–a drug which will be sold for $32,500 a year. Legally the FDA could at any time remove all CBD supplements from the market, on its own volition, or if the drug company who holds drug market exclusivity requests FDA do so. A newly approved drug means L-glutamine faces a similar threat.

    This excerpt from Alliance for Natural Health:

    Earlier this year, we told you about an FDA back-channel that allows drug companies to turn supplements into drugs—and remove the supplement versions from the market. This has happened to a popular and medically important version of vitamin B6 (pyridoxamine), and with the FDA’s approval of a new drug to treat sickle cell anemia, the same could happen to L-glutamine. Unless we close a back-channel at the FDA, more and more supplements will be turned into expensive drugs, and consumers won’t be able to manage their health cheaply and naturally with the supplement versions.

    Last year, the FDA announced the approval of Endari, a drug for sickle cell disease. Endari is an oral powder comprised of L-glutamine, an important amino acid currently available as a supplement. The drug company, Emmaus Medical, Inc., filed an investigational new drug (IND) application—demonstrating their investigation of L-glutamine as a drug—on May 15, 1997. This is important because there is no new dietary ingredient (NDI) notification for L-glutamine. (Think of an NDI notification as a “new supplement” notification; by law an NDI notification must be filed on supplements that came to market after 1994.)

    Enter the FDA back-channel. If a drug company begins investigating a nutrient for use in a drug before a supplement company files an NDI notification on that nutrient, the company can ask the FDA to have supplement version removed from the market, leaving consumers with no other option than the drug. Currently, a 120-pill bottle of L-glutamine can be purchased for less than $10; a year’s worth of Endari will reportedly cost consumers more than $40,000.

    If Emmaus enforces its IND, the only way that L-glutamine supplements could survive is if the FDA decides that L-glutamine was in the market “in or as” a supplement before 1994. To make matters worse, the FDA has not completed its policy that lets companies know what is and isn’t grandfathered, or even how to file an NDI notification. Given how the current draft of the FDA’s proposal is written, there’s even a real danger that supplements most people would think of as “grandfathered” could require NDI notifications. All of this creates confusion that only helps drug companies further exploit this back-channel.

    Benefits of L-Glutamine

    L-Glutamine is constantly being used in our bodies. Normal function in multiple systems is dependent on proper blood glutamine levels. When our bodies undergo trauma or severe stress or illness, cortisol levels increase in our bodies and glutamine stores can be depleted at the same time. This is one of the reasons why we often feel sick after we experience a lot of stress, and why athletes often catch illnesses after grueling workouts or intense performance. Supplementing with L-Glutamine can alleviate some of these symptoms and lead to enhanced recovery. [1]

    In addition to general stress, recovery from trauma and damage to muscles specifically can be alleviated by L-Glutamine supplementation. This is simply because our bodies have to make more protein when protein rich tissues like muscles are damaged, and when our bodies need to build protein, glutamine is one of the amino acids that is highest in demand. [3]

    Immune System Support

    Just as our bodies use L-Glutamine for energy in intestinal and brain cells, our bodies’ defense cells (leukocyte) also use glutamine for energy (See ‘Digestive Support’ above). Because of this, in order to maintain a healthy immune system, keeping glutamine levels up is essential, especially in times of strain when our glutamine stores are often running low. [4] 

    CBD oil faces a similar threat. 

    For years, consumers have benefitted from access to cheap, safe, and effective CBD oil supplements. But now the FDA says that CBD is a drug, not a supplement—a drug which will be sold for $32,500 a year. While the FDA has not removed CBD oil supplements from the market yet, FDA’s declaration indicates it may be only a matter of time.

    Until we close down the IND back channel that allows Big Pharma to turn supplements into drugs, we will continue to see this happen. There’s too much money to be made. That’s why ANH is advocating for a legislative change that will protect natural substances from being turned into drugs by eliminating the market exclusivity that drug companies get when a new drug investigation is on a dietary ingredient currently being sold in the market in a dietary supplement. These rules should apply retroactively to protect CBD oil, pyridoxamine, L-glutamine, and other substances that have already (or are likely to be) removed before this legislation becomes law.

    Action Alert! Write to Congress and urge them to close the FDA back-channel that turns nutrients into expensive drugs. Please send your message immediately.

  • Epigentics, Toxins and Autism Increase

    Autism genetic? If autism was purely a genetic problem then the numbers should be 1 in 100 from here until the dawn of time.  The autistic should be part of our culture, the stories we tell, the very fabric of our society.  But they’re not.  Instead we have stories about the tidal wave of adults with autism we can expect in the next few years and how poorly prepared we are for them.  Nobody saw this problem until it was first described in the 1940s.  From that time it’s gone from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 100.  

    With that rate of increase, can it be long until it goes to 1 in 10?  We need to find answers.

    Contrary to the common thought, its NOT JUST the vaccines. Non-vaccinated children can get Autism because Autism is neurological damage, and there are various ways to inflict brain damage on children. (Learn More about Brain Damage and Autism: Read Vaccines Don’t Cause Autism) 

    Saying that, vaccines cause the most brain damage by far. Heavy metal and toxin exposure in the womb can also trigger Autism, even without vaccines. Fluoride in our water bonds with metal ions like aluminum from vaccines in our blood, ushers it across the blood brain barrier and deposits it in our neurons. Once there, the neurotoxic fluoroaluminate complex destroys the neuron. Yes, there are many synergistic effects between the contents of vaccines and other toxins in the environment. Fluoride gets into our blood from drinking and bathing water, food, pharmaceutical drugs, dental products and procedures, industrial air pollution , etc. Americans are receiving too much fluoride and the visible sign is the dental fluorosis in 41% of adolescents. And that’s just one toxin. The thing about vaccines is that the toxins are injected which makes them far more damaging. Vaccination and fluoridation programs are something we can stop. We can stop deliberately poisoning ourselves. 2

    (For one example, if the mother has a mouth full of mercury fillings, that mercury can be passed on to the baby in the womb, thus harming the baby’s brain before it’s even born). It’s important to remember that every human begins in their maternal grandmother.  A female fetus developed her ovaries and the eggs within at 4 months development within the womb.

    Epigenetics: The Science of Change

    Derived from the Greek, the word epigenetics literally means “above” genetics. Epigenetics is the study of chemical markers that modify genes but are not part of DNA itself. Like DNA, they can be passed on from cell to cell and from one generation to the next. These modifications are superimposed on top of our genes to tell them whether they should be active or inactive. For example, every cell in your body has the same DNA; however, some cells are specialized for use in the heart, the bones, the brain, the nerves, the stomach, etc. These cells become specialized because different sets of genes are turned on or off at different points in cell development, leading to differences in the types and amounts of proteins produced and determining how the cells look, grow, and act. This is epigenetics in action…

    Epigenetics is the theory that environmental factors, such as diet, lifestyle choices and pesticides can impact the health of people who are exposed to them and also their descendants. Human DNA, according to epigenetics, is not unchangeable; it can be altered by such environmental factors. Epigenetic changes can be imprinted on the DNA of a fetus during pregnancy according to Winchester.

    “If it is fixed then, it becomes inheritable and it becomes a trait that you can pass on to the next generation and the next and next.”

    Epigenetics is a fairly new concept that is slowly gaining acceptance.

    The accumulated evidence indicates that many genes, diseases, and environmental substances are part of the epigenetics picture. However, the evidence is still far too thin to form a basis for any overarching theories about which substances and which target genes are most likely to mediate adverse effects of the environment on diseases. 1

    Environmental Damage

    The synthetic Vitamin K shot given to infants at birth can be just as detrimental to newborn development as vaccines are.

    Epigentic Studies on rodents show that DNA methylation can be altered by many different kinds of exposures during the fetal as well as the adult life. 3

    Epigentic damage carries on for up to 4 generations. So it would take 4 generations of no vaccines to be totally clean genetically.

  • Infected Monkey Kidney Cells: Why Vaccines are Not Vegan

    Smallpox, Polio and DTaP and soon the Ebola vaccines contain infected monkey kidney cells. Are you vegan? Have you considered what you are injecting as well as what you are ingesting? 

    Simian Virus 40/ SV40  was the 40th virus found in rhesus monkey kidney cells when these cells were used to make the polio vaccine. This virus contaminated both the Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV) created by Dr. Jonas Salk and the Oral or “Live” Polio Vaccine (OPV) created by Dr. Albert Sabin.

    In 1961, SV40 was discovered by Dr. Bernice Eddy of the National Institute of Health, Division of Biologics when she took the material used to grow polio vaccines and injected it into hamsters. Tumors grew in the hamsters. Her discovery was subsequently validated by Drs. Maurice Hilliman and Benjamin Sweet of Merck.

    Upon the discovery that SV40 was an animal carcinogen that had found its way into the polio vaccines, a new federal law was passed in 1961 that required that no vaccines contain this virus. However, this law did not require that SV40 contaminated vaccines be thrown away or that the contaminated seed material (used to make all polio vaccines for the next four decades) be discarded. As a result, known SV40 contaminated vaccines were injected into children up until 1963. In addition, it has been alleged that there have been SV40-contaminated batches of oral polio vaccine administered to some children until the end of the 1990’s. 

    Polio vaccine once contaminated with SV40 now contains infected African green monkey kidney cells

    By 1960, the Salk polio vaccine had been injected into nearly 100 million American children and adults. It’s estimated that up to 30 percent of those vaccines were contaminated because they contained the live virus SV40. Federal testing of the vaccines followed but was performed inadequately (on purpose) for just 14 days – obviously not long enough to detect the deadly virus that lay dormant in tens of millions of children. In the years that followed, the incidence of pediatric cancer skyrocketed. Do the math. Pediatric cancer continued to climb throughout the 1960’s, 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. Cancer is now the number one killer of children in the U.S.

    learn More About the contaminated Polio Vaccine

    Natural News recently highlighted how the ACAM2000 smallpox vaccine is grown and cultured in African Green Monkey kidney (vero) cells.

    The vaccine insert label contained the following warning:

    “Vaccine WARNINGS related to the vaccine using African Green Monkey kidney cells

    Not surprisingly, this vaccine is known to cause extremely serious and even deadly side effects at a shockingly high rate. Here’s the WARNING box from the vaccine insert sheet, linked above:

    WARNING:

    See full prescribing information for complete boxed warning

    Myocarditis and pericarditis (suspect cases observed at a rate of 5.7 per 1000 primary vaccinees (95% CI: 1.9-13.3)), encephalitis, encephalomyelitis, encephalopathy, progressive vaccinia, generalized vaccinia, severe vaccinial skin infections, erythema multiforme major (including STEVENS-JOHNSON SYNDROME), eczema vaccinatum resulting in permanent sequelae or death, ocular complications, blindness and fetal death, have occurred following either primary vaccination or revaccination with live vaccinia virus smallpox vaccines. These risks are increased in certain individuals and may result in severe disability, permanent neurological sequelae and/or death [see Warnings and Precautions (5)].”

    The aforementioned page on the CDC website states that other vaccines contain African Green Monkey kidney cells, including the polio vaccine (IPOL by Sanofi Pasteur), DTaP-IPV (Kinrix) and DTaP-HepB-IPV (Pediarix).

  • Congress Calls For An End Of Using Aborted Humans For Spare Parts In Medicine and Vaccines

    Aborted humans are used as spare part to create medicine and vaccines. Fetal-tissue harvesting is a very lucrative industry, and just a small percentage of research could yield huge profits. Billions of dollars are involved in fetal-tissue research and harvesting, and the federal government participates in it in a big way.  

    Fetal tissue is generally obtained through abortions, and is used to develop cells that “mimic many of the properties that they have in a living body, and therefore can be used as a model for researchers studying basic biological processes,” according to a Congressional Research Service report from 2015. The National Institutes of Health now spends around $100 million a year on research involving human fetal tissue, government data shows.

    The issue was brought to the fore in recent months by a comparatively small contract for fetal tissue the Food and Drug Administration announced in June. It planned to purchase around $16,000 of “human fetal tissue” for tests to determine how humans might respond to medications. 

    “Fresh human tissues are required for implantation into severely immune-compromised mice to create chimeric animals that have a human immune system,” FDA said at the time. “This human immune system allows us to test biological drug products for safety and efficacy.” – from CNN article.

    More than 80 House Republicans wrote a letter to the FDA earlier this month calling for the cancellation of the contract. 

    “Unborn children are not commodities to be bought and sold,” they wrote. “The practice of conducting research using the body parts of children whose lives have been violently ended by abortion is abhorrent.”

    The HHS statement said the administration will push for alternatives to fetal tissue research be “funded and accelerated.”

    The fact that aborted humans are used as spare parts for our vaccines has not been hidden, for those who look closer at the CDC Vaccine Excipient list. Legislators, doctors and the general public simply need to look at the list and the truth will be revealed.

  • US Food Brands Petition EPA to Ban Pre-Harvest Glyphosate Spraying

    The Environmental Working Group, joined by food and nutrition companies including MegaFood, Ben & Jerry’s, Stonyfield Farm, MOM’s Organic Market, Nature’s Path, One Degree Organic Foods, National Co+op Grocers and Happy Family Organics, petitioned the Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday to sharply limit glyphosate residues allowed on oats and prohibit the pesticide’s use as a pre-harvest drying agent.

    Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup, is mostly used as a weedkiller on genetically modified corn and soybeans. But it is also increasingly sprayed on oats just before harvest as a drying agent, or desiccant. Glyphosate kills the crop, drying it out so that it can be harvested sooner than if the plant were allowed to die naturally. This allows easier harvesting but also increases the likelihood that the pesticide makes it into foods.

    In 2016, a testing project by Food Democracy Now! and The Detox Project found alarming levels of glyphosate in General Mills’ Cheerios and Honey Nut Cheerios, Kellogg’s Corn Flakes, Raisin Bran and Frosted Flakes and PepsiCo’s Doritos Cool Ranch, Ritz Crackers and Stacy’s Simply Naked Pita Chips, as well as many more famous products.

    In August, independent laboratory tests commissioned by EWG found glyphosate residues in popular oat-based foods marketed toward children. Almost three-fourths of the samples tested had glyphosate levels higher than what EWG scientists consider protective of children’s health with an adequate margin of safety.

    “No parent should worry whether feeding their children healthy oat-based foods will also expose them to a chemical linked to cancer,” said Scott Faber, EWG’s senior vice president for government affairs. “Using glyphosate as a desiccant is not necessary, but only a convenience for growers. That’s not worth taking a chance with our children’s health.”

    The EPA’s legal limit on glyphosate residues is 30 parts per million, or ppm. The petition, joined by 8 industry leaders asks the EPA to set a more protective standard of 0.1 ppm, which was the legal limit in 1993.

    Over the last 25 years, the EPA has increased the amounts of glyphosate residue allowed on oats 300-fold. The first increase, to 20 ppm, was granted in response to a 1997 petition from Monsanto, when farmers around the world first began using glyphosate widely as a late-season desiccant. It was increased to the current 30 ppm level in 2008.

    Since then, scientists have linked glyphosate to cancer and researchers around the world have called for stricter limits on glyphosate exposures.

    In 2015, 17 of the world’s top cancer researchers convened by the International Agency for Research on Cancer reviewed hundreds of studies on glyphosate and voted unanimously to classify the weedkiller as “probably carcinogenic to humans.” Last year, California added glyphosate to its official list of chemicals known to cause cancer.

    “The verdict is in – glyphosate use poses a significant threat to the health of our planet and the people on it.  As more and more consumers continue to raise valid concerns about the incredibly harmful effects of glyphosate, it’s high time that the EPA prohibits the pre-harvest use of glyphosate on every farm across the country,” said Robert U. Craven, CEO of MegaFood. “The federal government has a duty to protect its most vulnerable citizens, and today’s petition filing is a signal that it’s time to clean up the supply chain to improve overall health.”

    “The citizen petition submitted to EPA today is an important step in confronting the overuse of glyphosate in our food system,” said Matthew McCarthy, CEO of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. “We call on EPA to quickly take the steps necessary to ensure that unwanted levels of pesticides don’t wind up the food Americans eat.”

    “As a mom of two young children and as a maker of organic baby food, I urge the EPA to protect us appropriately from this chemical glyphosate that may have serious consequences to our health and more importantly, the lifelong health of our children,” said Shazi Visram, Founder and ChairMom of Happy Family Brands. “Progress must always be made to ensure their safety and well-being. To me that means we are always strengthening our standards. So first and foremost we should maintain the standard that was 300 times stronger over 20 years ago.”

    The petition asks the EPA to prohibit the use of glyphosate as a pre-harvest desiccant on oats and set a stricter limit for imports coming from countries with less protective standards. This simple change could significantly reduce a source of the pesticide in Americans’ diets.
