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.

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…

District 2

John Green
learn more about John at his campaign website: http://electjohngreen.com/

Regarding the rights of government and the rights of citizens: 

The Government has no “rights”. All rights are inherent in citizens. The government has to keep citizens apprised as to risks dangers of anything that might adversely affect their health or safety. Citizens have a right to such information.

Regarding informed consent:

I believe we have an inalienable right to determine our own course when it comes to health care, which includes using any substance available if we determine that it will improve our health, protect us from disease, or benefit our quality of life. I believe parents have an inalienable right and an absolute duty, to make health care and education decisions on behalf of their children. Informed consent is usually the safest option, and it should be required if there is any doubt as to the safety of any procedure or conduct that affects the public. The proper role of government is to protect the lives, liberty and property of its citizens. Informed consent is a good tool for the government to exercise that duty. 

District 5A

Hari Heath
learn more about Hari at his campaign website: https://hariheath.com/

Regarding informed consent: 

Informed should mean honest accurate information not the usual biased or fraudulent “facts” Consent means voluntary action including the ability to effectively say no.

Regarding licensing of practitioners

The state should end licensing and move it to professional associations who regulate their members to maintain their reputations, ending state-sanctioned monopolies and opening free choice in a few markets.

District 11A

Josh Gibbons

learn more about Josh at his campaign site: www.gibbonsforidaho.com/

Regarding the licensing of holistic practitioners:

I do not believe government intrusion into the free market is the best solution. As a consumer, choosing any medical treatment, I should make an informed decision based on recommendations and credentials when I choose to seek help. I believe in free market self-policing.

Regarding informed consent and parental rights

At the end of the day, you alone are responsible for the health of your family. The government has no business intruding into how you seek to heal or maintain your health.

District 11B

Tammy Nichols
learn more about Tammy at her campaign site: http://nicholsforidaho.com/

Regarding CPS involvement when medical treatment is refused.

Parents always have the right to make medical decisions, and what is in the best interest for their children. The HD (Health Department) and CPS are not the parents and should only intervene when clear abuse and/or neglect are occurring. 

Regarding holistic licensing

I believe that over licensing and regulation is occurring and that the free market will do the best job overall. 

District 25A

Glenneda Zuiderveld
learn more about Glenneda at her campaign site:http://glenneda.com/

Regarding CPS involvement over treatment of a gravely ill child

Parents have the ultimate right.  It is not the governments roll to regulate this. 

Regarding the rights of parents and the government

I am for parental choice and health choice.  The original purpose of government is to preserve liberties not to restrict and regulate our freedoms to choose. 

District 25B

Lyle Johnstone

Regarding Holistic Healthcare Licensing

Does this type licensing improve quality of care? Or is it limiting quality people that would be able readily pass licensing? Is it for the Business of licensing?!

Regarding the vaccine exemption form

IN FAVOR of a bill of clarification

District 32

Chad Christensen
learn more about Chad at his campaign website: http://chadforidaho.org/

Regarding Parental Rights

I am against the intrusion of privacy by the government. The government needs to stay out of my parenting. It needs to cease trying to be a nanny and thinking they know best for my children and me. I am for absolute freedom of choice in regards to medical issues of my family. Except for blatant child abuse (physical and sexual), the government should have no authority over my children. The government should always receive permission from its people to operate and perform tasks. The government continually oversteps its boundaries year after year. A strong line in the sand needs to be drawn. I have inalienable rights whether the government recognizes them or not.

Regarding the vaccine exemption form

IN FAVOR of a bill of clarification

Drugs, Disease and Deception: Silenced No More   

Dr. Judy Mikovits accomplished scientist, researcher and outspoken medical whistle-blower

Judy Mikovits, Ph.D. is a biochemist and molecular biologist with more than 33 years of experience. Internationally known, a veritable “rock star” of the scientific world, she served as the director of the lab of Antiviral Drug Mechanisms at the National Cancer Institute before directing the Cancer Biology program at EpiGenX Pharmaceuticals. She later developed the first neuroimmune institute. Her early work focused on cancer and HIV, her latest on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and autism. She has published more than 50 peer-reviewed articles. In 2011, she made the discovery that destroyed her career. She found that at least 30% of our vaccines are contaminated with gammaretroviruses. Not only is this contamination associated with autism and chronic fatigue syndrome, it is also associated with Parkinson’s, Lou Gehrig’s disease, and Alzheimer’s and a host of other diseases. When she released this shocking information, she was threatened and told to destroy her data; she refused. She was fired, then arrested for supposedly stealing her data from her worksite. She had been facing charges and was bound by a gag order from the court for four years. Recently, charges were dropped and the gag order was lifted. Dr. Mikovits is now free to talk, and boy is she talking. 

Dr. Mikovits is clearly taking a stand against vaccination with today’s vaccines and the current vaccine schedule. Due to the contamination of retroviruses and neurotoxins, she doesn’t believe anyone should receive vaccines until vaccines are cleaned up. Retroviruses are not her only concern. She talks about the effects of aluminum, mercury, formaldehyde, and polysorbate 80. She believes these neurotoxins play a definite part, along with retrovirus contamination, in the rise of several diseases in this country. To learn more about Dr. Mikovits’ work and how the government has attempted to silence her, check out her book, “ Plague, One Scientist’s Intrepid Search for the Truth about Human Retroviruses and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), Autism, and Other Diseases.” 

2018 Legislative Recap & Citizens Guide To Protecting Health Freedoms

Miste Karlfeldt, Executive Director of Health Freedom Idaho 

Welcome to our valued attendees, speakers and exhibitors. Miste will also discuss 2018 Legislative Session’s events and how laws and trends could affect yours and your family’s health and freedoms. 

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

Overcoming Stresses from Thoughts, Toxins and Trauma

Dr. Rosie Main DC of Main Health Solutions 



Your body was designed to be healthy. It wasn’t designed to build up disease, get sick, and die early. How do we know this? It’s simple. If you fall down and scrape your arm on a sidewalk, what does your body do to that scrape without you even
thinking about it? It begins to heal it. It creates a clot to stop the bleeding, then a scab, and new skin begins to grow, replacing the scab. Voilà , your arm is healed just like new! It is almost magical when you think about it. If your body constantly wants to heal itself and was designed for perfect function, what is it that’s moving us into sickness and disease at alarming rates? The answer to this question is the key to your future health and longevity The real silent killer is stress. It is not stress, however, in the context that you are likely thinking about. What I’m going to discuss about stress is expansive,
cutting-edge, and a deep dive into the real silent killer. 

Dr. Rosie Main is on a mission to transform the health of those who are seeking ways to to live to their God Given Potential.

Become A Healer In Your Home! 

Lisa Hevern, an Independent DoTerra Wellness Advocate 

After a failed spine surgery at 26, my liver and kidneys were damaged from prescription arthritis medication for managing chronic pain. I was able to stop taking my prescription medications and detox my body with safe, pure, beyond organic essential oils. In this presentation, I’ll share the basics of essential oils; where they come from, safety and purity, and the three ways to use them. My intention is to empower each individual to become a holistic healer in their home through the use of natural, plant based medicines.

Treating MTHFR: Optimizing Genes, Improving Lives 

Dr. Andrew Rostenberg of Red Mountain Natural Clinic 

Methylation is the most powerful system controlling our genes, our genetic potential. By looking at methylation, the root of the problem often comes into focus. The truth is that body has the ability to heal and grow strong regardless of age or condition.

#EliminateGlyphosate in Idaho! Glyphosate herbicides or Monsanto’s RoundUp weed killer, the most widely used herbicide in history, has recently been proven to cause serious harm to life. Plus, it’s not just the glyphosate! Inert ingredients are more toxic and NOT tested for long term safety.

SIGN THE PETITION TO BAN GLYPHOSATE FROM IDAHO

• Glyphosate has contaminated our planet, and is now found in our children’s urine, mother’s milk, our bloodstreams, and our food and water. 
• In 2015 the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) of the World Health Organization found that glyphosate “is a probable human carcinogen”.
• In July of 2017 the California State Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) added glyphosate to its prop 65 list of known carcinogens.
• In October of 2017, after over 1 million Europeans requested a ban, 72% of the Members of the European Parliament voted to BAN glyphosate and EU Member states have refused to renew the license.
• Four countries have banned glyphosate: Malta, Sri Lanka, The Netherlands, and Argentina. 
• Many U.S. school districts and cities have already discontinued the use of glyphosate.

Glyphosate causes cancer

Glyphosate herbicides have also been found to be linked to various cancers specifically lymphoma, are endocrine disruptors, neurotoxic, and a cause of liver disease. Global studies show that we are routinely exposed to dangerous levels of glyphosate. 

Over 1000 Americans are currently suing Monsanto, the  manufacturer of glyphosate herbicides, for non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. The Department of Justice is investigating Monsanto for corruption, cover-ups, and collusion with the EPA in relation to the carcinogenic effects of glyphosate.

Millions of citizens in (your state) come in contact with glyphosate daily. The American Academy of Pediatrics has stated that our children are the most vulnerable to pesticides. Thus, we need to take action to protect the future of our state.

Please join the Moms Across America, Organic Consumers Association, Institute for Responsible Technology, Thinking Moms Revolution, and thousands of others in ridding our state of glyphosate by signing the petition below:

Reducing the number of #toxins our bodies have to contend with is a worthwhile goal. While today’s chemical pesticides make dealing with pests easy, the harsh toxins they contain are damaging to the environment and our family. Most of these insecticides contain chemicals that are linked to cancer cells in humans and animals. Growing vegetables gives you control over how your family’s food is grown and whether toxic chemicals are used for pest control. Listed below are the best all-natural pesticides recommended by readers and members. They offer an inexpensive, organic and safe method of combating garden pest infestations. Please share your favorite in the comments. Let’s build our library of natural toxic free solutions.

Pest control methods: Natural vs. Chemical

Top Homemade Pesticides *Note* Always spray plants early in the morning to avoid burning leaves.

Neem Oil

A favorite natural pesticide, neem oil, is one of the most powerful all-natural plant based insecticides. The yellow-brown oil from the neem tree seed is made into sprays available from reputable companies.

Carefully follow label instructions and avoid contact with skin. If exposure occurs, follow the First Aid instruction on the label. Contact the Poison ControlCenter for more treatment instructions: 1-800-222-1222. 

Salt Water Spray

Spider mites and cabbage worms are a common problem and can wipe out an entire garden if not removed.

For an easy insecticide, mix 1gallon warm water and 2 tablespoons of natural salt, such as pink Himalayan crystal salt. Place in sprayer bottle and spray plants. Repeat if necessary.

Natural Soap Spray

A great all-purpose spray for aphids, mites, white flies, and other small insects. Add orange or lemon essential oil for ants and to help the spray to stick to your plants.

In spray bottle mix ingredients and shake well before using:

1. 1½ tablespoons biodegradable liquid soap (Mrs. Myers soap, Murphy’s Oil soap, or castile soap)
2. 1 quart water
3. 2 drops lemon or orange essential oil

Shake well before each use and spray plants thoroughly, covering the top and underside of leaves.

Garlic-Chili Pepper Spray

Garlic and chili peppers are natural insect repellants for Japanese beetles, leaf hoppers, slugs, and borers. As well as an insecticide, garlic is known for repelling larger pests such as rabbit and deer.

In spray bottle mix:

1. 1 recipe Natural Soap Spray
2. 1 tablespoon ground chili or cayenne pepper
3. 5 cloves garlic, crushed and minced

Combine minced garlic and ground pepper and mix well. Let set overnight. Strain and pour into spray bottle with Natural Soap Spray and shake well. Spray on plants as needed. Keeps for 2 weeks. 

*Note* To help control ants, add 10 drops of orange or lemon essential oil.

Orange Water, and Soap

This easy to make mixture is an effective treatment for slugs, ants, and roaches.

Mix in large glass jar:

1. 1 gallon water
2. 3 tablespoons liquid organic castile soap
3. 1 ounce orange essential oil

Shake well and pour in spray bottle. Spray directly on bugs.

Antifungal Plant Spray

Use this spray on any plants with fungal disease. Treat plants with grayish-white mildew on the leaves.

1. 2 quarts warm water
2. 1 tablespoon baking soda
3. 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil

Place 1 cup warm water in a glass bowl or large measuring cup. Add baking soda and stir until dissolved, add oil, and mix well. Add remaining warm water and mix again.  

Before treating plants, remove severely damaged leaves. Spray plants covering all areas, even ones not showing signs of disease. Repeat every other day until signs of disease are gone.  

*Note* Do not mix batches ahead of time. Water needs to be warm and the treatment works best when using a fresh solution for each dose.

*Warning* Insecticides kill beneficial bugs as well. Use sparingly and only treat plants and areas showing disease or pests.

Chrysanthemum Flower Spray

Chrysanthemum flowers contain pyrethrum a powerful plant chemical that attacks insect nervous systems. As with other pesticides, this will affect beneficial insects, so use sparingly.

1. 1 quart water
2. 4 ounces dried chrysanthemum flowers
3. 1/2 ounce neem oil

Bring water to a hard boil. Add dried flowers and return to boil. Lower heat to medium and simmer for twenty minutes. Strain liquid, add neem oil, and let cool. Fill spray bottle and use as needed. Store solution up to two months.

*Note* Always use a glass or stainless steel pan when making this solution.
