  • 100% Organic Wine the Way Nature Intended

    100% Organic Wine the Way Nature Intended

    Clean-Crafted Wine: Wine the Way Nature Intended. Wine is a tricky business. Grapes march to the beat of their own drum. The introduction of synthetic pesticides, chemical additives and sugars provide a way for wine producers to get around the natural unpredictability of grapes and promote wine that tastes the same, bottle after bottle, year after year. Unfortunately, chemically altered, unnatural wine is now the norm.

    Clean-Crated Wines offer a cleaner, healthier alternative. For a bottle of wine to be considered Clean-Crafted, it must be grown organically and contain NO synthetic pesticides, chemicals, copper sulfate, or added sugars. Scout & Cellar is a wine company that curates small batch, hand crafted wines from around the world. Every wine sourced is independently lab tested and guaranteed to be free of over 300+ FDA approved chemicals and pesticides, including Glyphosate. We have done the research so you can enjoy wildly delicious with the peace of mind that it is chemical free and 100% natural.

  • 107,000 Americans Die EVERY YEAR from “Properly Prescribed” Medication

    107,000 Americans Die EVERY YEAR from “Properly Prescribed” Medication

    How does a U.S. doctor get on the terrorist watch list, no-fly list and ‘do not employ’ list? Simply because she didn’t force the ‘standard of care’ on her patients, instead gave them informed consent and she allowed people to pick and their intervention. She noted that most people tried natural dosages first. She says she got irate visits from drug companies, in spite of the fact that her death rates went to zero!!!! By the time the Government officials ‘caught up’ with her, she had a drug free practice. She was threatened by insurance companies, hospitals, and pharmaceutical companies for not prescribing drugs to her patients. Fortunately, for her patients, she didn’t give in to the pressure. Unfortunately for her, she was forced out of the country. She still teaches and interviews from her new home in Panama.

    Dr. Daniels reveals the truth about how dangerous pharmaceuticals have killed more than 100,000 people in America every year and why you should use natural solutions and supplements instead of dangerous pharmaceuticals.


    Here is how she says the insane process starts. Doctors get mail from a pharmaceutical company about a particular drug in the mail. For a given medicine, the letter will speak of the side effects, dosages, a so forth, of the drug.

    As an example, she goes on to show an actual letter she received which stated the drug might cause liver failure, she says the notes frequently indicate that one of the side effects of the drug can be, plain and simple, “Death.”

    Dr. Daniels now has a dilemma on her hands, because she realized her patients could wind up dead if she prescribes these drugs. She tried to counter this danger by prescribing dosages much less than a pharmaceutical company’s suggested dosage, as in 1/8 of the dosage or less.

    She would also recommend less frequent intakes of the drugs time-wise, as in advising a patient to take the drug once a week or month as opposed to daily.

    She also said that so many patients were dying from drugs, she began a policy of only administering a drug if she had substantial evidence that the number of deaths from the drug was less than 1 in 10,000.

    PLACEBO TRIALS AREN’T SCIENTIFIC

    Dr. Daniels also, exposed that placebo control trials on adult medicines are somewhat of a joke, as an example, a drug for adults and/or the elderly, could have been tested on teens. Drugs prescribed to women, only tested on men and so forth.

    Drug studies remove patients who died during the study. Consider what this means. The only time a drug can be determined to cause death is after the drug has been released to the market.

    Dr. Daniels also reveals what she calls a “Dirty little secret” about placebo pills, in that placebo is not a sugar pill, it could be anything. The reason? Because the testers desire the placebo to be a lower dosage of the actual drug. They want the side effect profile of placebo to be the same as the side effect of the drug being tested.

    PATIENTS AREN’T PROVIDED INFORMED CONSENT

    Some of the letters from drug companies about dosages and side effects of drugs are in such fine print and so lengthy, important drug info is often not even legible.

    Dr. Daniels says that, along with the prescribed medication, the patient gets a page on the medicine, but not the vital info about the possibility of death. She says it is too labor intensive to copy those pages and often it is not legible, so doctors don’t bother.

    She also exposes that doctors are told what to or what not to share with the patient, because ”supposedly,” the patient may not know how to handle that type of information.

    She poses the question, “Why should drug companies inform doctors at all?”. She answers that basically “If the patient dies and family sues, then the pharmaceutical company is not liable, only the doctor is liable.”

    In an almost “sinister” revelation, Dr. Daniels said that doctors are told via instructions only to terminate medication ONLY if the patient is urinating black and defecating grey, symptoms that imply liver failure, a signal that the patient is near death. She also noted that most patients that died were, as she called it, “fully medicated”.

    Dr. Daniels goes on to speak on the apparent logic that many of us already surmise, when she asks the listener to imagine the impact on the drug company’s profits if doctors took it upon themselves in subscribing minimum or reduced dosages, and thus doctors are instructed to administer what is often a lethal dose.

    Another almost “sinister” practice in drug studies is to remove patients who died during the study. Consider what this means. The only time a drug can be determined to cause death is after the drug has been released to the market.

    She noted that most people tried natural dosages first. She says she got irate visits from drug companies, even though her death rates went to zero!!!!

    Take Charge: What can patients on prescribed drugs should do.
    Here is the advice from Dr. Daniels:

    • If doctor prescribes medications, ask for package insert and read adverse reactions. DO NOT ACCEPT THE PATIENT LEAFLET, because it has been fully inspected by the Public Relations Department, and references to death have been deleted.
    • Ask doctor have there been deaths from drug, and if he says he doesn’t know, then that is a warning flag and bad sign, because it implies he hasn’t read packet insert.
    • If deaths from a drug were caused at same dosage, you were prescribed for, inquire about lower dosage.
    • Inquire about time frame of deaths from the beginning if taking the drug, as in, “was death 1 week out, one month, half year?” She says often deaths are one week into dosing.
    • Inquire about alternate medications
    • Only deal with drugs that have been on market for 3 years (to allow for availability of death data on that drug)
    • In her words, she suggests to “Ask Dr. Google”, enter your medication with the word DEATH

  • Vaccines and Immunocompromised Schoolchildren

    Vaccines and Immunocompromised Schoolchildren

    The nonprofit organization, Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC), has released an information statement entitled “Vaccines: What About Immunocompromised Schoolchildren?” Because immunocompromised schoolchildren are among the most vulnerable children in school, this educational document focuses on concerns about their safety and addresses questions about risks that the vaccination status of schoolchildren might pose to their immunocompromised classmates.

    A safe environment for all persons, including schoolchildren, is the goal of everyone involved in public health. “It is important that the public be informed that the vaccination status of a child is not a significant risk to other schoolchildren in general, or to immunocompromised schoolchildren in particular,” said Dr. Shira Miller, PIC founder and president.

    To further inform senators considering new legislation, the information statement was recently shared with the California Senate Committee on Human Services in opposition to AB1992 which proposes to coerce vaccination by making it a prerequisite for receiving benefits from the California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) program. The Senate Committee includes Senators Scott D. Wiener (Chair), Tom Berryhill (Vice Chair), Steven M. Glazer, Connie M. Leyva, Mike McGuire, Janet Nguyen, and Anthony J. Portantino.

    As described in the information statement, some vaccines fail to prevent the spread of the bacteria or viruses they target, which means certain infectious diseases, such as pertussis (whooping cough), are spread regardless of a child’s vaccination status…

    Learn How Food Can Provide Healing for Neurological and Physical Conditions

    Eating a healthy diet is vital for prevention of disease and maintaining a healthy body, mind and spirit. Nutritional counseling helps to provide guidance about what to eat, how to cook it and how to find the best local ingredients.The GAPS diet is a natural treatment for neurological and physical conditions in the body. GAPS (Gut and Psychology Syndrome and Gut Physiology Syndrome) establishes a connection between the state of a person’s digestive system and the health of the rest of their body. Around ninety percent of the immune system is located in the digestive system (the gut), if the gut isn’t functioning properly, the rest of the body can’t function properly.

    What is the GAPS Protocol?

    GAPS_awesome-bGAPS (Gut and Psychology Syndrome and Gut Physiology Syndrome) establishes a connection between the state of a person’s digestive system and the health of the rest of their body. This term was created by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride MD, MMedSci (neurology), MMedSci (human nutrition), after working with hundreds of adults and children dealing with different types of neurological and physical conditions.

    We are living in a time, with a growing epidemic of people dealing with mental and physical illness, such as autism, spectrum disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD/ADD), schizophrenia, dyslexia, dyspraxia, depression, bi-polar disorder, auto-immune conditions, allergies, digestive disorders and more. The GAPS diet is a natural treatment for all these conditions and more.

    A weak immunity is the true cause behind illness’s. Working on strengthening the gut, strengthens the immune system, which benefits all the functions in the body.

    The GAPS diet provides the framework to heal the gut (the digestive system), through whole food and some supplementation. It encourages specific types of foods that are healing to the digestive system, while at the same time limiting certain types of carbohydrates that are damaging to the gut. People who are dealing with digestive sensitivity, cannot adequately digest carbohydrates, and the undigested food becomes fuel for the bad intestinal microbes, thus fueling disease in the body, The GAPS diet removes the food source for the bad microbes, and encourages large amounts of foods that aid in properly healing the digestive system.

    GAPS_Bone-Brot

    The GAPS diet can be an extremely effective and positively life-changing protocol. But it does take strict adherence and a good deal of self-education to get started and to stay in compliance. Having the assistance of an expert can make the process easier to start, more likely to maintain and provide the encouragement you might need to go the distance.

    Good nutrition means giving your body what it needs to function optimally.

  • U.S. Senate Votes To Legalize Hemp Farming

    U.S. Senate Votes To Legalize Hemp Farming

    The non-psychoactive cannabis cousin of marijuana would finally become legal to grow in the United States under a bill overwhelmingly approved by the Senate. We hope that this bill passes as it will end the confusion about hemp in our state and the country. The wide-ranging agriculture and food policy legislation known as the Farm Bill, passed by a vote of 86 – 11 on Thursday, contains provisions to legalize the cultivation, processing and sale of industrial hemp. With over 25,000 products being made from hemp just imagine how much $$$ that can mean for America and our farmers. #HempFarmAct#FarmBill

    The wide-ranging agriculture and food policy legislation known as the Farm Bill, passed by a vote of 86 – 11 on Thursday, contains provisions to legalize the cultivation, processing and sale of industrial hemp.

    The move, championed by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), would also make hemp plants eligible for crop insurance.

    “Consumers across America buy hundreds of millions in retail products every year that contain hemp,” McConnell said in a floor speech on Thursday. “But due to outdated federal regulations that do not sufficiently distinguish this industrial crop from its illicit cousin, American farmers have been mostly unable to meet that demand themselves. It’s left consumers with little choice but to buy imported hemp products from foreign-produced hemp.”

    McConnell also took to the Senate floor on Tuesday and Wednesday to tout the bill’s hemp legalization provisions in separate speeches.

    In April, the GOP leader introduced standalone legislation to legalize hemp, the Hemp Farming Act, the provisions of which were included in the larger Farm Bill when it was unveiled earlier June 2018.

    The Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry approved the bill by a vote of 20-1 two weeks ago.

    During that committee markup, Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA), one of Congress’s most ardent opponents of marijuana law reform, threatened to pursue serious changes to the bill’s hemp provisions on the floor. Namely, he wanted to remove the legalization of derivatives of the cannabis plant, such as cannabidiol (CBD), which is used by many people for medical purposes. But Grassley never ended up filing a floor amendment, allowing hemp supporters to avoid a contentious debate and potentially devastating changes to the bill.

    Hemp legalization enjoys broad bipartisan support.

    “Legalizing hemp nationwide ends decades of bad policymaking and opens up untold economic opportunity for farmers in Oregon and across the country,” Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) said upon passage of the Farm Bill on Thursday. “Our bipartisan legislation will spur economic growth in rural communities by creating much-needed red, white and blue jobs that pay well. I’m proud to have worked with my colleagues to get the bipartisan Hemp Farming Act through the Senate. Today marks a long-overdue, huge step forward for American-grown hemp.”

    BIG news for industrial hemp farming! Today, the Senate passed my bipartisan #HempFarmingAct, legislation that would lift a decades-old ban on growing industrial hemp on American soil. #RonReportpic.twitter.com/r0fBzseRIh

    — Ron Wyden (@RonWyden) June 28, 2018

    Earlier this month, the Senate approved a nonbinding resolution recognizing hemp’s “growing economic potential.”

    “For the first time in 80 years, this bill legalizes hemp. We forget, but hemp was widely grown in the United States throughout the mid-1800s,” Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) said in a floor speech on Wednesday. “Americans used hemp in fabrics, wine, and paper. Our government treated industrial hemp like any other farm commodity until the early 20th century, when a 1937 law defined it as a narcotic drug, dramatically limiting its growth. This became even worse in 1970 when hemp became a schedule I controlled substance. In Colorado, as is true across the country–I have talked to a lot of colleagues about this–we see hemp as a great opportunity to diversify our farms and manufacture high-margin products for the American people.”

    McConnell’s standalone hemp bill currently has 29 cosponsors signed on—17 Democrats, nine Republicans and two independents.

    A Congressional Research Service report released last week says that the “global market for hemp consists of more than 25,000 products.”

    House Republican leaders blocked a vote to make hemp legalization part of that chamber’s version of the Farm Bill. But now that the language is included in the version approved by the Senate, it will be part of discussions by the bicameral conference committee that will merge both chambers’ bills into a single piece of legislation to be send to President Trump’s desk. All indications are that McConnell, as the most powerful senator, will fight hard for the survival of his hemp proposal.

    A White House statement of administration policy released this week outlining concerns with the Farm Bill does not mention its hemp legalization provisions.

    In 2014, McConnell included provisions to allow limited state-authorized hemp research programs in that year’s version of the Farm Bill.

    Kentucky’s agriculture commissioner cheered the passage of the new hemp provisions on Thursday..

    For farmers across KY, there is no piece of legislation more important than the #FarmBill. I am excited that @SenateMajLdr’s #HempFarmingAct made it into this measure, which will allow states to unleash the full economic potential of our industrial hemp pilot programs. #KyAg365 pic.twitter.com/HjU6OGKNjZ

  • Health benefits of CBD oil that nobody talks about

    Health benefits of CBD oil that nobody talks about

    Cannabidiol, also known as CBD, is a cannabis compound which is completely non-psychoactive. This means that it does not change the state of mind of the person who uses it. However, it does appear to produce significant changes in the body and has been found to have medical benefits. It is emerging as a powerful medicinal substance with anti-inflammatory properties and the ability to help several diseases which were previously untreatable. CBD can help fight cancer and bowel diseases, it cures symptoms of schizophrenia, and even reduces anxiety and sleep disorders. People are unaware of a number of health benefits of CBD.

    Research shows that CBD products are actually helpful at reducing many ailments. Such diverse ailments that they seem to be unrelated, in fact… but they are not. Emerging research shows that each of these ailments may be related to dysregulation of the endocannabinoid system, or ECS for short. The “key and lock” metaphor is often used to describe this process. The human body possesses specific binding sites (“locks”) on the surface of many cell types, and our body produces several endocannabinoids (“keys”) that bind to these cannabinoid receptors (CB) to activate or “unlock” them.

    Health benefits of CBD oil that nobody talks about:

    1. CBD Reduces Inflammation and Autoimmunity

    CBD serves as a therapeutic medium for a variety of inflammatory and pain-associated disorders due to its anti-inflammatory properties.

    Inflammation has always been a subject for researchers when it comes to finding a therapeutic solution. CBD has a prominent way of interacting with the endocannabinoid system that appears very beneficial for the therapeutic applications which are related to inflammation.

    2. CBD May Protect Against Neurodegenerative Diseases

    CBD is said to prevent toxic effects of Neurotransmitter Glutamate and Radical Oxygen Species in the brain, which results in preventing brain cell death.

    CBD has antioxidant activity much greater than that of vitamin C or vitamin E. CBD also protects brain cells from beta-amyloid toxicity, making it a potential therapy in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. It may also protect the brain in cases where the blood flow is reduced.

    Some studies have shown improvement in patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease treated with 100 to 600 mg/day of CBD over a 6-week period.

    3. CBD Relieves Nausea and Increases Appetite

    CBD is said to relieve nausea and vomiting. Researchers found that CBD in low amounts decreases nausea and vomiting produced by toxic drugs, but in high doses, it can increase nausea or has no effect.

    THC is a drug used to treat nausea and vomiting in human patients, but more clinical studies prove that CBD is more efficient in doing so.

    CBD also helps in increasing the appetite by binding the cannabinoid receptors in the body.

    CBD greatly helps to reduce food sensitivities as well.

    4. CBD Promotes Bone Growth

    CBD does not only increase the bone growth but also the bone density. This is all because of the endocannabinoid system. Cannabinoids work on receptors in the endocannabinoid system to produce bone formations. It is also found that broken limbs are healed much faster when treated with CBD.

    5. CBD Helps In Treating Anxiety & Insomnia

    CBD for anxiety is already a well-known benefit.

    The researchers point to studies showing that CBD may reduce anxiety behaviors in disorders such as:

    The review notes that current medications for these disorders can lead to additional symptoms and side effects and that people may stop taking the drugs because of these unwanted effects. CBD has not shown any adverse effects in these cases to date, and the researchers call for CBD to be studied as a potential treatment method -Medical News Today

    As CBD possesses the ability to reduce anxiety, it can be helpful in reducing sleep difficulties and also improving the sleep quality. CBD helps in increasing the overall sleep amounts and improves insomnia as well. CBD has been shown to reduce insomnia in people who suffer from chronic pain.

    If CBD is given in smaller doses, it can also stimulate alertness and reduces daytime sleepiness, which is important for daytime performance and for the strength and consistency of the sleep-wake cycle of an individual.

    6. CBD May Help with Quitting Smoking

    Research has found that inhaling CBD for a few weeks can possibly reduce the number of cigarettes smoked by almost 40%, without increasing the cravings for nicotine.

    CBD is very easily available worldwide.

    7. Cannabidiol Can Provide Treatment for Acne

    CBD decreases the lipid synthesis and proliferation of sebaceous glands on the human face and also possesses an anti-inflammatory effect on sebaceous glands. Therefore, it can potentially act as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of acne vulgaris.

    8. Cannabidiol Lowers the Incidence of Diabetes

    CBD can impede and delay the destruction of insulin-producing cells present in the pancreas and also the production of inflammatory cytokines in diabetics.

    CBD has found to reduce the inflammation of pancreatic cells and improves the glucose tolerance. It also increases the insulin sensitivity for type 1 diabetic individuals so that there is a possibility that less insulin is needed for the management. It also makes the fluctuation of the blood-glucose level more manageable.

    article contributed by Kathy T. Cooley

    HFI editorial staff did further research to gain a better understanding of how CBD oil affects the human body.

    Research shows that CBD products are actually helpful at reducing many ailments. Such diverse ailments that they seem to be unrelated, in fact… but they are not. Emerging research shows that each of these ailments may be related to dysregulation of the endocannabinoid system, or ECS for short. The “key and lock” metaphor is often used to describe this process. The human body possesses specific binding sites (“locks”) on the surface of many cell types, and our body produces several endocannabinoids (“keys”) that bind to these cannabinoid receptors (CB) to activate or “unlock” them.

    How CBD works

    All cannabinoids, including CBD, attach themselves to certain receptors in the body to produce their effects.

    The human body produces certain cannabinoids on its own. It has two receptors for cannabinoids, called CB1 receptors and CB2 receptors.

    CB1 receptors are found all around the body, but many of them are in the brain.

    The CB1 receptors in the brain deal with coordination and movement, pain, emotions and mood, thinking, appetite, and memories, among others. THC attaches to these receptors.

    CB2 receptors are more common in the immune system. They affect inflammation and pain.

    It used to be thought that CBD acts on these CB2 receptors, but it appears now that CBD does not act on either receptor directly. Instead, it seems to influence the body to use more of its own cannabinoids.

  • Tylenol Just Once A Month Raises A Child’s Asthma Risk 540%

    Tylenol Just Once A Month Raises A Child’s Asthma Risk 540%

    A major study of over 20,000 children suggests that giving Tylenol even as infrequently as once per year could have a permanent, life-threatening health effect. The vast majority of babies are given Tylenol (acetaminophen) within the first six months of life. It is the go-to medicine for modern parents for the last several decades as pediatricians have recommended for almost every ailment an infant or child may suffer from. But what if the newest evidence is showing that it isn’t as safe as we were led to believe?

    Researchers at the University of A Coruna in Spain asked the parents of 10,371 children ages 6-7 and 10,372 adolescents aged 13-14 whether their children had asthma and how often they had been given acetaminophen within the previous year and when they were babies.

    The children in the younger age group who had received the medicine only once per year were at 70% greater risk for asthma while those receiving Tylenol once a month or more were shockingly 540% more likely to have asthma.

    The study, published in the European Journal of Public Health, also found that children who had even a single dose of Tylenol before their first birthday had a 60% risk of developing asthma. In the older age group of 13 and 14 year-olds, asthma was 40 percent more likely if they had taken acetaminophen within the previous 12 months. The young teenagers were 250% more at risk if they took it once a month.

    The researchers speculated that Tylenol, called paracetamol in the UK, may reduce a potent antioxidant called glutathione in the lungs and blood, which results in damage to the lung tissue. Glutathione is produced by the body (it is a combination of three amino acids: cysteine, glycine and glutamine) and is referred to as the “mother” of all antioxidants by Dr. Mark Hyman MD.

    While Tylenol use is strongly associated with a significant increase in asthma and the effect is greater the more often the drug is taken, no causal link is yet established via randomized-controlled trials.

    Does this mean the results of this large study should be dismissed and parents should continue favoring use of the popular over the counter medication for fever and pain? Not so fast. It would certainly be the wise and cautious approach for parents to investigate alternatives to Tylenol while additional follow-up research is performed.

    • Asthma rates have been on the increase for decades at the same time Tylenol use became more widespread. The potential link cannot and should not be ignored.
    • Examination of 20,000 children establishing such a strong associative risk must be taken seriously and the dismissal of the research by some doctors is irresponsible given the seriousness and life-altering outcome of an asthma diagnosis.

    “All the asthma symptoms analyzed increased significantly with paracetamol consumption,” the researchers wrote.

    Other Autoimmune Illness Also Higher in Children Who Use Tylenol

    The associative link is even stronger when one considers that another autoimmune disease is also more prevalent in Tylenol use making the probability of inverse causation far less likely. Inverse causation would mean that children with asthma are simply more likely to pick up coughs and colds that require painkillers.

    • For example, the Spanish study also concluded that the prevalence of eczema in children increased dramatically the more frequently Tylenol was used.
    • In addition, scientists in New Zealand found in 2010 that Tylenol use before the age of 15 months was associated with a higher risk of children having allergies at the age of six.
    • Also in 2010, another large study of 11,000 children conducted by the Imperial College of London demonstrated that taking Tylenol in the first six months of life was associated with a higher prevalence of asthma and wheezing.
    • Prior to that in 2009, researchers at the Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute in Canada found a higher risk of asthma for both adults and children via a meta-analysis of existing research.

    Should savvy and health conscious parents wait awhile until the likely causative relationship is established?

    Definitely not!

    With such repetitive and significant associative links firmly established, taking that Children’s Tylenol and chucking it in the trash would be a really constructive action step. There is absolutely no reason to use this product when raising children anyway. I’ve personally never owned a bottle of Children’s Tylenol let alone used it anytime in the past 15 years since my first child was born. There are plenty of other non-toxic options for dealing with fevers and pain in your young ones!

    Another constructive action step? Finding a quality local pasture based farm and having your children drink unpasteurized grassfed milk. The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology reported in August 2011 that children who drank raw milk had a 41% reduced chance of developing asthma. These same children had a nearly 50% reduction in hay fever as well even when other relevant factors were considered.

  • California Doctor On Probation After Writing Vaccine Exemption When Child Suffers Severe Vaccine Reaction

    California Doctor On Probation After Writing Vaccine Exemption When Child Suffers Severe Vaccine Reaction

    Dr. Sears is a well-known pediatrician nationally, and he is not anti-vaccine. He administers vaccines in his practice, but allows for a more individualized approach to vaccines, such as staggering them, or when necessary due to the health of his patients, forgoing some vaccines. He is the author of a very popular book, “The Vaccine Book.” Dr. Sears was also an outspoken critic of California’s mandatory vaccination bill SB277 that removed philosophical and religious exemptions to vaccines. Only medical exemptions are now allowed under this new bill. Dr. Sears favors “informed consent” and parental rights. (See: Dr. Sears: Mandatory Vaccines Bad for California, U.S.)

    Senator Pan (the doctor turned legislator who sponsored the mandatory vaccination bill) made no qualms about his desire to go after Dr Sears. The mainstream media is widely reporting that California medical doctor Bob Sears is facing discipline by the California state Medical Board after he wrote a medical exemption for vaccines on behalf of a 2-year old patient who experienced adverse reactions from earlier vaccines. Dr Sears felt forced to accept the settlement. The medical board decides the punishment based on how they see the facts.

    “Everyone should understand how corrupt the system is for him to have to accept the probation. Even if he proved himself 100% in the right, they still could have put him on probation and surely would have to use him as a warning to other physicians writing exemptions.”

    What even the opposition fails to understand is that when the truth and liberties of anyone are squashed it is a loss for ALL of us, no exclusions. – Caroline Morgan

    Below is the response that Dr Bob Sears provides on his facebook page.

    Patients, friends, and colleagues:

    I want to update all of you on the status of the California medical board case against me which began in 2015. For those who don’t know, the board has been investigating me for writing a court opinion letter for a child who had an adverse reaction to vaccines. Recently, instead of proceeding to a trial, the board has offered me a settlement of 35 months probation, and I have accepted. I am at peace with this outcome. Probation means that I will choose a pediatric colleague in the area who will periodically review some of my charts to verify I am, as always, practicing within the standard of care. I will also have to take some extra continuing medical education classes and an ethics course.

    Why accept a settlement when I’ve done nothing wrong? The challenge with medical board cases is that even if I win on all aspects of a case, the medical board can still exercise its authority and put me on probation anyway. I win, or lose, a trial before a judge, then the medical board decides the punishment based on how they see the facts. Since it was likely that I’d get probation anyway, I accepted the offer.

    All this for a court opinion letter?

    Medical boards are normally tasked with protecting patients against doctors who do things like sell drugs, see patients while intoxicated, commit insurance fraud, prescribe a wrong drug that ends up hurting a patient. However, this investigation probably came from higher up the chain of command. I picked a fight with a California Legislator, and he has been very vocal about openly working with the medical board to prosecute doctors who excuse patients from their vaccines, regardless of the merits of a case.

    I signed up for this.

    So what really happened, and why should the very existence of this case concern every American?

    A child and his mother came to me for help. The mom described how her baby had suffered a moderate to severe neurologic reaction to vaccines almost three years prior, and she was afraid a judge in her upcoming hearing was going to force her to resume vaccines now. Medical records of the reaction were not available yet, and I gave the patient a letter of opinion to show the judge that the reaction was severe enough to justify not doing any more vaccines. The board accusation against me states that such a judgement should not be made without medical records. But this patient needed a letter right away. Getting the patient’s medical records ended up taking over a year. Isn’t it my job to listen to my patients and believe what a parent says happened to her baby? Isn’t that what ALL doctors do with their patients? A patient’s word is often the only evidence we have – as doctors we must trust our patients, the same way our patients trust us to look out for their best interest. After all, I don’t want a child to receive a medical treatment that could cause more harm. I am going to first do no harm, every time.

    The second detail in this case, and the part which ultimately prompted me to agree to a settlement, is the medical board observed that I did not make complete medical notes of the neurological exam I performed on the child at a second visit. The child came in complaining that he had been hit on the head with a hammer. I checked him out thoroughly, performed a complete neurologic exam, but you know what? I didn’t write down all aspects of the exam. I documented everything else but that one detail.

    Is this fight over? No it is not. This was just case number one.

    The medical board is already lining up four more cases, and these will be about vaccine medical exemptions under the new vaccine law.

    It seems there is an attempt to keep me on probation for the rest of my medical career. But the one thing I’m going to do differently this time is that I’m going to be very open with all the proceedings. With case one, I was silent. Upon the recommendation of my lawyers I haven’t said a thing until now. But I’m tired of being quiet.

    • Case number two involves siblings who got vaccine medical exemptions from me because one of the children has a severe medical condition that research has shown can get worse with ongoing vaccination. The other child doesn’t have the condition, yet, but dad does. Exemption for reasons in a family’s medical history is an amendment guaranteed under SB277. We’ll see if the medical board agrees – probably about two years from now. These things take a long time.
    • Case number three is a child with a family member who had a severe permanent neurological injury after vaccines.
    • Case number four is a teen who had a severe reaction to an infant vaccine, her own doctor told her to opt out of that vaccine after that, and I gave her an exemption from the teen booster dose. We’ll see if the board agrees.
    • Case number five involves siblings to whom I did not give vaccine exemptions to, but a parent somehow reported me to the medical board anyway. I don’t know why yet. Should be interesting.

    It alarms me to see any medical board questioning exemptions that are given to families who have suffered severe vaccine reactions. It should alarm everybody.

    More doctors need to stand up for their patients, especially the ones who are the most vulnerable. I’m going to continue to stand for these children.

    Now that case one is settled, I can go back to being loud and proud about my belief that every single patient should receive complete informed consent prior to vaccinations. This two-year period of silence has been tough. I will not rest until every single family has been given access to full, complete, objective, and un-doctored information that makes every parent fully aware of the risks they accept if they don’t vaccinate their child, and all the risks they take if they do vaccinate their child. Period. And I will fight against mandatory vaccination laws until they are no more. When every single person on this planet has access to informed consent, and can make a free choice, I will then be able to say my work is done.

    Thank you all for the outpouring of love and support, and your continued prayers.
