  • Stop Medical Kidnap – HB 821

    In the wake of the #MedicalKidnap of Baby Cyrus (See Freedomman.org), several legislators have expressed the need for parental rights protection written into the statute. Well, the legislation has been written (see below) and now needs to be heard and voted upon!

    Contact the legislators to vote YES on HB 821

    It is CRITICAL that our parental rights are protected. Our children are given to us BY GOD and these inherent rights need to be protected from state departments that have claimed authority over the lives of families. Medical Kidnap is the wrongful removal of a minor or vulnerable adult from a parent or guardian by law enforcement and/or a social worker. Parents/Guardians should always have the final decision in the child or vulnerable adults’ medical care and treatment until those parental rights are terminated by due process in a court.

    Here’s the Bill HB 821 sponsored by Senator Zito and Rep. Nichols

    It is CRITICAL that our parental rights are protected. Our children are given to us BY GOD and these inherent rights need to be protected from state departments that have claimed authority over the lives of families.

    TALKING POINTS:

    • PARENTAL AUTHORITY: We have a biblical responsibility for our children. Regardless of the family stance in medical intervention, it is a God-given right of parents to determine the modality that they use to pursue wellness for their children. PARENTAL RIGHTS come from God. Even under the most supreme intentions, no government department or hospital staff member should attempt to circumvent parental responsibility
    • PARENTAL AUTHORITY: Protected as a Constitutional Right.
    • MEDICAL TREATMENT & INFORMED CONSENT: These are never black and white; they are multifaceted decisions that need to be weighed with informed consent by parents.
    • MEDICAL TREATMENT DOES NOT GUARANTEE HEALTH. Conventional medical treatments are not a “gold standard,” nor do they the one-size-fits-all treatment that results in 100% success.
    • MEDICAL ERRORS are now the 3rd leading cause of death nationwide, as John’s Hopkins University reported in 2016. ACCORDING TO THE CDC’S DATA, the U.S. also has the world’s highest infant mortality rate.

    Unfortunately, the fight is not over. Levi and Marissa only have Cyrus with them because they agreed to a measure of state oversight and intrusion. Meaning, CPS has to go with them to all appointments and have unlimited access to “pop in” on Levi and Marissa unannounced and all that. If they decide they don’t like any little thing, they can kidnap him again. But the most important thing is that Cyrus is with Marissa and Levi NOW. His health and wellbeing depend on it!

    The adjudicatory hearing is on April 8th, and if we don’t continue this fight non-stop through then, it is still possible for the state to take him away again! 🥺

    However, for now, we just want to celebrate the blessing of having Baby Cyrus back with his parents. Only through Jesus Christ and his mercy and by your constant, unceasing prayers and support, have we been able to witness this miracle!

    We will send you more updated information tomorrow, including an important update regarding a momentous rally we are planning for next week (clear your calendar for March 26th)—but for now, let’s just celebrate together and give God thanks!

    P.S. Protests at the Department of Health and Welfare are canceled indefinitely—and we will not be calling for any more protests there unless they forcefully take Cyrus away again—but we are not anticipating that happening. Pray with us…

  • IRIS OPT OUT of Government Tracking of Your Child’s Private Medical Information

    IRIS is Idaho’s Immunization Tracking system. Your family is AUTOMATICALLY ENTERED into the system by authorized health care providers, child care providers, and schools. Per a June 9, 2017 phone conversations with the Idaho Health Department, they do NOT have anything in their system that will alert the users of your request to OPT OUT to having your private medical data entered into their system. While you can ask for your information to be removed from the system, it can and will, be entered back in at anytime by authorized users (doctor, schools, daycare). In otherwords, if you don’t submit your request to the schools, doctors, daycare providers that you wish to have your private medical information REMAIN PRIVATE they will assume that you want to be tracked.

    Your children’s medical information is likely in the database RIGHT NOW. You must OPT OUT to have your information removed from the IRIS database.
    However, once your information is shared within the government tracking database, authorized 3rd parties can take the information and use it as they wish. While you can opt out of IRIS and purge your child’s information from their IRIS system, you are unable to purge it from the third party systems once it has been accessed. 

    Is this a gross violation of privacy? Do you think our tracking system should be something you can OPT IN to if you wish rather than being forced in? Its time to let our legislators know we want them to make this change! 

    per the IDAHO HEALTH AND WELFARE DEPARTMENT WEBSITE: http://healthandwelfare.idaho.gov/Health/IDImmunizationProgram/ImmunizationRegistryIRIS/IRISOptOut/tabid/3812/Default.aspx

    Idaho’s Immunization Reminder Information System (IRIS) is a secure health information system containing the names and immunization history of people who have received vaccinations in Idaho. This information is available only to authorized health care providers, child care providers, and schools. Participation in IRIS is voluntary and you may opt out at any time by contacting the Idaho Immunization Program at (208)334-5931 and requesting an opt-out form, or by completing this online opt-out form. 

    Please remember that if you opt to have information about yourself, your minor child, or person whom you are a legal guardian be removed from IRIS, then you must maintain the individual’s immunization (shot) records. Verification of immunization status is a requirement for entry to schools (including some secondary schools and colleges), summer or day camps, employment in certain industries, participation in certain volunteer activities, and other situations.

    Two options are available for opting out of IRIS for yourself, your minor child (under the age of 18 years), or a person for whom you are a legal guardian:  

    • Option 1:  Remove only immunization-related information from IRIS. Only demographic information is retained in IRIS, including name, address, phone number, mother’s maiden name, date of birth, and gender. Demographic information will not be viewable by medical providers, schools or childcare staff. By making this selection, I understand that allowing demographic information to be retained in IRIS will reduce the chance of accidental or intentional re-entry of vaccination information about me/him/her.
    • Option 2: Remove all information from IRIS – immunization and demographic. By making this selection, I understand that at any time, information regarding myself, my child, or person for whom I am a legal guardian, may be re-entered by a health care provider. I understand that I must work with my health care provider(s) to ensure this information is not re-entered into IRIS. 

    CLICK HERE to have your private medical information removed from IRIS. 

    CLICK HERE TO Find your Legislators and Send them a brief message:

    IRIS tracking system is NOT voluntary as an OPT OUT system. It is a gross violation of privacy. Please support legislation that changes the Health Department’s vaccine tracking system to an OPT IN by choice system. 

    2017 Legislative Session they attempted to expand the tracking to include Adults the bill was HB 91.https://legislature.idaho.gov/sessioninfo/2017/legislation/H0091/
    It FAILED to pass into law.

    The following representatives voted against an automatic tracking of adults into the IRIS system. Contact these Representatives and thank them for protecting privacy and ask them to sponsor a bill that removes the automatic entry of our children’s information.

  • HIPAA: your medical privacy does not apply

    Protect your Rights!

    MYTH: HIPAA protects your medical privacy

    FACT: HIPAA eliminated patient consent requirements and potentially opens your medical records to 2.2 million entities, plus government agencies.

    MYTH: Signing the form or statement about the clinic’s or hospital’s “Notice of Privacy Practices” (NPP) means your medical information will be kept private.

    FACT: The form regarding the NPP is only an acknowledgement that you have read the form, and therefore understand that you have NO privacy rights, and that your information can be broadly shared without your consent. You are NOT required to sign it (see below). NOTE: whether you sign the form/statement or not signing does not protect your privacy. If you read the NPP, you’ll understand that your signature acknowledges that you know you have no privacy.

    MYTH: The federal HIPAA law and and its “privacy rule” are the highest laws of the land and have the final say on whether patient data can be shared or must be protected.

    FACT: State medical privacy laws are the highest laws. Your data can be broadly shared under HIPAA unless your state legislature has enacted a real privacy law. HIPAA’s “permissive sharing” law is superceded by most state medical privacy laws.

     

    YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO SIGN

    HIPAA “PRIVACY” FORMS

    OR

    THE “NOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICES”

    ACKNOWLEDGEMENT STATEMENT

    (Contact CCHF if you’re denied treatment)

     

    THE LAW DOES NOT REQUIRE YOU TO SIGN THE FORM

    Click this link (or look below) to see the exact section of the federal HIPAA privacy rule that only requires your clinic or hospital to make a good faith effort to obtain your signature on the form. They can’t require it.

    See below for how to get your own HIPAA “not required to sign” card to give to your clinic or hospital. 

     

    FIVE REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD NOT SIGN

    1) Exercise your rights under the law not to sign the “HIPAA privacy form” or the Notice of Privacy Practices acknowledgement statement on many clinic and hospital consent forms.

    2) Refuse to participate in perpetuating the deception that the HIPAA form or the Notice of Privacy Practices statement protects your privacy.

    3) Enlighten the clinic and hospital staff on the truth about HIPAA and your right not to sign.

    4) Prevent the clinic from waving the signed form under your nose and claiming that you should have known when you complain after learning they shared your confidential data without your consent.

    5) You will help CCHF move the nation toward the truth about HIPAA and its eventual repeal (and restoration of patient consent, personal control, and ownership rights to one’s own medical and genetic data)

  • Otter Vetoes Bill To Allow CBD Oil To Be Used To Treat Sick Idaho Kids

    Otter Vetoes Bill To Allow CBD Oil To Be Used To Treat Sick Idaho Kids

    IDAHO:  Gov. Butch Otter has vetoed SB 1146a, the bill that would have allowed parents of Idaho children with an intractable form of epilepsy to treat their kids with cannabidiol, a non-psychotropic oil that’s an extract of cannabis and can halt the children’s repeated, extended and life-threatening seizures. The bill passed after lengthy and emotional hearings during this year’s legislative session. “Of course I sympathize with the heartbreaking dilemma facing some families trying to cope with the debilitating impacts of disease,” Otter wrote in his veto message; you can read it here. But he said there were too many questions about the bill, including from law enforcement and his administration’s Office of Drug Policy, which raised concerns that the bill would open the door to legalizing medical marijuana.

    “It ignores ongoing scientific testing on alternative treatments,” Otter wrote. “It asks us to trust but not to verify. It asks us to legalize the limited use of cannabidiol oil, contrary to federal law. And it asks us to look past the potential for misuse and abuse with criminal intent.”

    “As an alternative to this legislation, I soon will issue an Executive Order authorizing the Department of Health & Welfare to study, and implement as it deems appropriate, an expanded access program for treatment-resistant epilepsy in children,” Otter wrote. “That program has been approved by the Food & Drug Administration.”

  • Cures Act Kills Informed Consent

    Cures Act Kills Informed Consent

    December 7, 2016
    The “21st Century Cures Act” just passed the Senate and heads to Obama, who will sign it.

    HR 6 – 21st Century Cures Act which looked to be dead in the water was secretly thrown into HR 34 at the last minute – a bill that was actually for tsunami detection, forecast, warning, research, and mitigation to create a 900+ page bill. We have a runaway government, who’s interest is not the safety of the public, that is clear. (see more about the evolution of this bill from NVIC )

    What does it really mean?

    Vaccines will be fast -tracked and require LESS safety testing

    HR 34 allows the approval of drugs by the FDA vaccines “with the least BURDENSOME means.” Drugs should require the MOST rigorous testing, not the least burdensome means.

    Now your child’s vaccines are going to be developed with even LESS testing than before, and will all be fast-tracked to production. Government mandated vaccines and an exponentially growing vaccine schedule the vaccine manufacturers will make lots and lots of money.
    Keep in Mind: The vaccine manufacturers having ZERO legal liability for their products, and 300 new vaccines in the development pipeline – the pharmaceutical industry literally cannot lose, no matter how many lives are destroyed.  

     “The 21st Century Cures Act is a drug company stockholder’s dream and a consumer’s worst nightmare,” said Barbara Loe Fisher, NVIC Co-founder and President. “Making experimental drugs quickly available for the sick and dying, who voluntarily choose to use them, is one thing, but Congress should not be greasing the skids to license experimental vaccines that government will recommend and legally require healthy children and adults to use. It is a prescription for disaster.”

    Medical testing no longer requires informed consent. 

    Even more ominous is the section 2263 the elimination of informed consent. What is informed consent ? Permission granted in the knowledge of the possible consequences, typically that which is given by a patient to a doctor for treatment with full knowledge of the possible risks and benefits.  Now all patients receiving treatment by any medical doctor may be, WITHOUT THEIR KNOWLEDGE, enrolled in a clinical trial for drugs and devices as long as there is “minimal risk” to the patient and the practitioner, and as long as there are “safeguards”.  The effect of this act is to leave “safety” to guesswork and rationalization, and to allow the medical establishment to assess harm in drugs and devices in a manner in which

    (1) the patients are not informed that they are in a clinical trial, and
    (2) they have no right to say “No” to being part of an experiment.

    If they are harmed during the trial, they cannot know that they should sue because any ill effect of the experimental drug or device cannot be traced to the experiment. This allows the medical establishment to experiment on the population with impunity. 
    The act does not specify “minimal risk”.

    This provision makes no sense logically, or scientifically, and is dangerous. We use clinical trials not only to study the efficacy of drugs and devices, but also to determine their safety profiles.

    Please watch the video of Senator Elizabeth Warren speaking out against this bill (in the first comment of this post), for more information. 

    This bill along with Obama’s November 4th Executive Order, The Global Health Agenda and the CDC’S new proposed rule in October to detain and quarantine anyone, any city, indefinitely and to release them only conditionally are not coincidences. These are all movements against our Health Freedom, our Human Rights including the Nuremberg Code and they take away our Informed Consent.
