  • Our Public Health System Is Failing

    Public Health Departments established with the intent to improve the health standards of the citizens of the US but instead are failing the 327 million people who live in this country. Unfortunately now public health prioritizes profit over people. Our communities get increasingly more ill while pharmaceutical profits increase exponentially. Anyone who takes the time to look at the big picture understands that this is true. These thoughtful words from Jennifer Margulis via Facebook

    This is what PUBLIC HEALTH has brought us: 

    • ❌ Toxic water in Flint, Michigan
    • ❌ An addiction crisis that results in 70,000 drug overdose deaths per year, nearly 70% from opioids
    • ❌ Some 600,000 unnecessary C-sections a year  
    • ❌ One of the highest maternal mortality rates of any industrialized country
    • ❌ 23 million Americans suffering from autoimmune conditions  
    • ❌ 1 in 36 children with ASD
    • ❌ Suicide rates rising, especially among young people and medical doctors , and a life expectancy rate that has fallen (slightly but enough to be considered statistically significant) for the past 3 years.

    ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️

    Public Health prioritizes profits over people, resulting in one of the most bloated vaccine schedules in the world.

    I love America. We all want the same thing: our children and our planet to survive and thrive. It pains me to see so many parents suffering because their children have environmentally induced iatrogenic brain and immune system damage.

    Public Health is failing the 327 million people who live in this country. Anyone who takes the time to look at the big picture understands that this is true.

    Having concerns about the CDC’s current childhood vaccine recommendations isn’t about being anti-vaccine. It’s about being in favor of children’s health, evidence-based medicine, science, and intact brains.

     Journalists, it’s time to report fairly and accurately on this topic.

    Politicians, responding to the failure of Public Health by trying to force for-profit medicine on every family is absurd.

    ‍⚕️ ‍⚕️ Doctors, enough already. Come out of the closet. We need you to fight for our children not for Big Pharma.

  • The Many Ways Cultured Foods Detoxify Your Body

    Detoxification is an important component to maintaining health. It can be difficult for our body to keep up with the assault chemicals added to our water, food and sprayed in our air, applied to our skin – our bodies are inundated. In this article shared by Moms Across America learn the many ways you can use cultured foods to detoxify your body. 

    Reprinted with permission from culturedfoodlife.com

    I love my microbes and all they do for me. Not a week goes by that I don’t discover something new that my 100 trillion microbes are doing just for me. I used to think that my liver was mostly responsible for filtering and removing compounds from within my body including hundreds of toxic chemicals and extra hormones (like estrogen) that can damage cells and weaken my immune system, but this is only half of the story. Your bacteria in your gut are responsible for 50% of the detoxification that your body undergoes, but if you don’t have the right microbes and a lot of them, they can’t do their job. So, what do bacteria do to detoxify you?

    Chemical BPA

    The chemical Bisphenol A (BPA)  is found in plastics, paper money, and thermal printer receipts. BPA is a powerful endocrine disruptor and has been linked to forty different diseases. But interestingly, animal research has shown that the proper bacteria in your gut can help detoxify this chemical by reducing the intestinal absorption of bisphenol and speeding it out of your body.1 What’s really exciting is that many of the strains of bacteria you need are found in cultured foods. Eat them and they become a part of you!

    Pesticides

    When you make cultured vegetables, specific strains of bacteria go to work that have been shown to degrade many different pesticides in your vegetables such as chlorpyrifos, coumaphos, diazinon, methyl parathion, and parathion. They do this while fermenting on your counter, and the pesticides will be degraded by 83.3 percent in as little as three days. Give it a few more days and they remove them completely.2 The really cool part is that these microbes actually use these hard-to-break-down chemicals as sources of carbon and phosphorous food!

    Sodium nitrate and heavy metals

    The chemical sodium nitrate is used as a food preservative in cured meats because it contains powerful anti-microbial properties which prevent food spoilage, but it is also used in fertilizer, explosives, rocket fuel, and for enamels made of pottery or glass. Sadly, it’s even found in organic food. We can’t seem to hide from it and it’s been linked to a variety of chronic degenerative diseases, including cancer. However, Mr. lactobacillus and his many friends are capable of breaking down this toxic chemical 3  as well as breaking down heavy metals 4 and heterocylic amines 5 which are compounds formed when meat is cooked at high temperatures.

    Cultured Foods Reduce The Toxicity Of Foods

    Probiotics found in so many cultured foods, and even in my sourdough bread, possess the ability to reduce the toxicity of foods and help me assimilate many foods I otherwise would struggle to digest. Just as they called in special forces of microbes to degrade and remove the oil spills in the ocean, they’ll do the same inside of you and me. But you have to take care of them and feed them, then watch them grow in strength and number to do their jobs. We have just scratched the surface of all they can do, but I encourage you to make some cultured vegetables and keep them on hand. I hope you make kefir daily, and as you drink it you’ll feel the wonderful thing you’re doing to your microbiome. If you consume bread, make it sourdough that has the help of lactobacillus microbes to transform it. And last, but not least, have some kombucha when you’re feeling you need a pick-up. Let them do the work for you and you just take care of them. You’ll start speaking of yourself in third person . . .   “Would Donna’s microbes like this cultured food?  I think they would – time to eat!”

  • Healing Herb Thyme for Cough and Cold

    The herb thyme is an ancient medicinal that was used for its healing properties by all early Mediterranean civilizations and was mentioned in writings by both Hippocrates and Dioscorides. In modern times science research has shown that taking thyme by mouth, alone or in combination with other herbs, reduces coughing in people with bronchitis, upper respiratory tract infections, or common colds. Thymus vularis ct. linalol is recommended by herbalists as an effective and safe beginner herb for children and the elderly. It is easy to make this fragrant herb into a Honey Thyme Homemade Cough Syrup which will allow your body to reap the benefits of both honey and thyme in fighting off germs and helping to relieve those uncomfortable symptoms of colds.

    DIY Honey Cough Syrup

    The organic raw honey in the syrup is soothing and they thyme offers a host of great healing properties due to Thymol. Making your own is a simple process. Go here for a printable version.

    Grow Your Own ‘Medicine’

    Thyme is a special herb that’s easy to grow or use to make your own teas and essential oils. Here’s how to grow it. 

    Thyme is easy to grow and will do well in a summer garden or in a pot. There are several varieties of thyme, including a lemon thyme that makes a great tea, and creeping varieties that make a pretty ground-cover – though common thyme (T.vulgaris) is the most commonly used in the kitchen and in the herbalist’s workspace.

    It prefers hot and dry conditions, so choose it’s location according to this. Somewhere that gets full sun throughout the day is best. It likes dry and coarse soil; over-watering your thyme is the quickest way to kill it, so go light on the moisture.

    When the plant begins to produce flowers, you can cut it and dry. Either hang it upside down in a clean and dry place, or use a food dehydrator. Having dried thyme ensures you will be able to reap it’s benefits even in the colder months when your plant isn’t producing.

    Science Research Proves Thyme Destroys Step Throat and respiratory Infections

     Thymol is derived from thyme and is a powerful antimicrobial that helps with bronchial and respiratory infections. Thyme oil is highly concentrated and should be used with caution! Always dilute with a neutral carrier oil. There are some who believe that ingesting oils such as thyme should be limited. Please view this safety information by expert Robert Tisserand.

    A 2011 study showed thyme oil to be highly effective against 120 strains of bacteria taken from patients with oral, respiratory and urinary tract infections, including several antibiotic-resistant strains.

    A 2013 study focused more specifically on strep throat. Of the 18 essential oils researchers tested, they found five that exhibited “significant antibacterial activity” against strep: thyme, oregano, cinnamon, lemon grass and winter savory.

    The study’s authors note that penicillin is not always effective at treating Streptococcus pyogenes. and say the five herbs could be an “interesting” addition to our “alternative therapeutic arsenal.”

    Dr. Axe recommends adding 2 drops of thyme oil to a mouthful of water and gargling to relieve sore throat.

    A 2016 study found that ingestion of thymol — a phenol obtained from thyme oil — significantly shortened the duration of upper respiratory infection, while alleviating cough and shortness of breath.

    The effectiveness of the combination of thyme extract, primrose extract and thymol was “comparable to synthetic antibiotic ambroxol,” the study’s authors wrote.

  • 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.

  • Medical School Professors Are Also PAID Consultants to Drug Companies

    03medschool.1.600.jpg

    Harvard Medical School students like Kirsten Austad, left; Lekshmi Santhosh, Kim Sue and David Tian, members of the American Medical Student Association, object to the influence of drug companies in the schools educational curriculum.
    Jodi Hilton for The New York Times

    BOSTON — In a first-year pharmacology class at Harvard Medical School, Matt Zerden grew wary as the professor promoted the benefits of cholesterol drugs and seemed to belittle a student who asked about side effects.

    Mr. Zerden later discovered something by searching online that he began sharing with his classmates. The professor was not only a full-time member of the Harvard Medical faculty, but a paid consultant to 10 drug companies, including five makers of cholesterol treatments.

    “I felt really violated,” Mr. Zerden, now a fourth-year student, recently recalled. “Here we have 160 open minds trying to learn the basics in a protected space, and the information he was giving wasn’t as pure as I think it should be.”

    Mr. Zerden’s minor stir four years ago has lately grown into a full-blown movement by more than 200 Harvard Medical School students and sympathetic faculty, intent on exposing and curtailing the industry influence in their classrooms and laboratories, as well as in Harvard’s 17 affiliated teaching hospitals and institutes.

    They say they are concerned that the same money that helped build the school’s world-class status may in fact be hurting its reputation and affecting its teaching.

    The students argue, for example, that Harvard should be embarrassed by the F grade it recently received from the American Medical Student Association, a national group that rates how well medical schools monitor and control drug industry money.

  • Disease Prevention: A Case Study of Homeoprophylaxis in India

    You may have wondered about the use of homeopathy in the prevention and remediation of disease. This excellent review from the Weston A. Price Foundation does the subject justice.The article can be read in its entirety at Weston A. Price Foundation’s website. It’s an excellent read for education and disease prevention for you and your family! 

    Excerpts: 

    Medical doctors are frustrated! Their hands are tied, and they can no longer practice medicine in the way they originally intended. With the advent of electronic records and innumerable insurance company requirements, doctors’ eyes are glued to the computer screen instead of free to look their patients in the eyes. Pharmaceutical companies have overtaken public media by advertising drugs for every symptom imaginable, drugs that are often accompanied by dire side effects. What happened to “First, do no harm,” and what’s happened to modern medicine?

    Actually, one nontoxic and inexpensive form of medicine is alive and well. Homeoprophylaxis, also known as HP, is a safe and effective form of immune education to protect from infectious disease. In countries such as India, where HP is sanctioned by the government, doctors are able to administer HP openly and achieve outstanding results. Homeoprophylaxis costs less than pennies per person due to the fact that very little source material can produce enough HP for thousands, if not millions, of people.

    HOW HOMEOPROPHYLAXIS WORKS
    Homeopathic practitioners use HP in the context of both short-term prevention during epidemic disease outbreaks as well as long-term prevention of contagious infectious diseases. Samuel Hahnemann, MD, the founder of homeopathy and the very first to use homeoprophylaxis, viewed epidemics as cases of disease that “attack many people and present with very similar suffering from the same causes.”1 In epidemic situations, homeopaths often apply a principle called genus epidemicus (GE) when the epidemic has a similar and characteristic nature in multiple patients. The GE—a homeopathic medicine individually selected for a particular outbreak of an epidemic2—addresses the common symptoms of the disease.

    In the case of scarlet fever (also known as scarlatina), for instance, the common symptoms might include fever, red rash and headache. Hahnemann used HP very successfully during a 1799 epidemic of scarlatina.2,3 Homeopathic Belladonna either prevented the disease altogether or, if contracted, reduced the severity significantly and prevented complications, easing recovery and alleviating any post-epidemic symptoms. Homeopathic Belladonna proved so effective that the King of Prussia mandated its use to curtail or alleviate subsequent outbreaks of scarlet fever.

    A second method of achieving prophylaxis is through the use of homeopathic “nosodes” of the targeted disease. Nosodes are made in the same manner as all homeopathic medicines. Beginning with a source material—either plant, animal, mineral or disease itself in the case of nosodes—serial dilution and succussion (vigorous shaking) is applied until no molecules of the original substance remain. A dilution of 1:99 repeated twelve times results in a solution devoid of any molecules. This is labeled as 12C, referring to the potency. A high potency such as 10M repeats the dilution and succussion process ten thousand times.

    HOMEOPROPHYLAXIS IN INDIA
    India has a population of 1.3 billion and is governed under a parliamentary system. There are twenty-nine states and seven union territories. Homeopathy in India is under the control of the Ministry of Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy (AYUSH).4 In addition, the Central Council for Research in Homeopathy (CCRH) functions as an autonomous organization within India’s government.5 The CCRH oversees standardization, clinical research and trials, training of homeopaths and public awareness.

    In response to the persistence of infectious disease as a major problem, India has employed HP effectively for cholera, the H1N1 influenza virus (“swine flu”), conjunctivitis, chickenpox and mosquito-borne viral diseases such as Japanese encephalitis, dengue fever and chikungunya. Researchers at the Government Homoeopathic Medical College in Thiruvananthapuram (the capital of the state of Kerala) surveyed families during threatened dengue and chikungunya epidemics from 2003–2006 to assess the protection provided by HP.1 Of one thousand and five families surveyed in 2003, almost nine in ten took HP for prevention of dengue; of those taking HP, only 14 percent (123/869) went on to contract dengue. In a follow-up study in 2006 of the prophylactic efficacy of HP for chikungunya, the college found a comparable 82 percent efficacy.

    The state of Kerala also has used HP to great effect in Alappuzha, an area full of backwaters and coconut lagoons. Though beautiful, living conditions in this area are difficult due to poor sanitation, low socioeconomic status, lack of education, limited health awareness and poor infrastructure. Epidemics can take hold and flourish due to inadequate health care facilities. Narrow canals through mangrove swamps are the roadways, so in 2013 the government started a floating homeopathic dispensary.6 This boat provides free treatment, HP and health education. The program has been such a success that two more boats were launched in 2014 and 2015!

    As another example of HP’s acceptance in India, in 2016, in direct response to two cases of swine flu in Hyderabad in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India’s Homoeo Times published the following news statement:

    The state government has…directed “all the people to take homoeopathy medicines in order to avoid the attack of swine flu.” The medicine is available for free at all dispensaries. The patients who already have swine flu should take homoeopathy medicines under prescription.

  • Celery: Nutritional Superhero

    Celery: Nutritional Superhero

    With its mild flavor, its delicate, pale color, and its (undeserved) reputation as a food with ‘little nutritional value,’ celery just might be the Clark Kent of the produce aisle.  The reality is: this underappreciated vegetable is a nutritional superhero that is just beginning to get its due.

    Not only is celery packed with essential vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber, but researchers are crediting it with impressive power to prevent – and even treat – cancer as well.

    Properties in celery target cancer cells at the molecular level

    Although celery is rich in many beneficial compounds, its premier cancer-fighting constituent is an antioxidant flavonoid called apigenin – which has been impressing researchers with its powerful chemopreventive effects. Again and again, in both cell and animal studies, apigenin was found to inhibit the initiation, progression and metastasis of tumors.

    And, apigenin fights cancer at every stage – with multiple mechanisms of action. This versatility is important because it may help to overcome the natural genetic variations that make some patients unable to benefit from a single chemopreventive compound.

    Apigenin prevents, suppresses and even reverses cancer in several distinct ways

    Angiogenesis – the growth of new blood vessels to nourish tumors – is an important process in the proliferation of cancer. Apigenin has been found to inhibit angiogenesis, thus depriving tumors of blood, oxygen and nutrients they need to survive.

    In a cell study, apigenin helped to “starve” human pancreatic cancer cells by depriving them of glucose, which is needed to fuel cancer’s rampant growth.

    Apigenin also interferes with molecular signaling, decreasing the production of chemicals needed by cancer cells. In a 2008 study published in Carcinogenesis, apigenin inhibited the expression of focal adhesion kinase – or FAK – a protein essential to cancer’s ability to break down and invade healthy tissue – thereby inhibiting the metastasis of human ovarian cancer cells.

    In another study, researchers found that apigenin protected pancreatic cells from inflammatory and cancer-causing damage induced by the NF-kappaB cytokine.  And, finally, apigenin promotes apoptosis – the programmed death of cancer cells. Researchers have found that the ability of apigenin to induce apoptosis reduced the incidence of early lesions in rats with laboratory-induced colon cancer.

    New review of research confirms anti-cancer effects

    In an extensive and recent review of cell and animal studies on apigenin published in 2016 in Journal of Cancer Protection, the authors credited the flavonoid (in celery) with diverse and powerful chemoprotective qualities and effects.

    These include suppressing the progression of prostate cancer, causing a marked reduction in carcinomas, slowing cancer cell proliferation, reducing levels of pro-inflammatory molecules that can trigger cancer, promoting apoptosis and decreasing blood vessel growth to tumors.

    Concluding that apigenin is beneficial in both the prevention and treatment of many types of cancer, the review authors called for more clinical studies.  Of course, research on apigenin’s stunning anti-cancer effects is ongoing.

    So, don’t be fooled: Despite its reputation as a nutritional “lightweight,” celery can be a powerful weapon in your arsenal of natural cancer-fighting foods.

  • Proposed Legislation against Religion A Blatent Violation of the Constitution.

    Proposed Legislation against Religion A Blatent Violation of the Constitution.

    The state is prohibited by the constitution from making a law respecting an establishment of religion / belief, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. We all have the right to free exercise of religion / belief! Belief begets religion and religion is the result of belief. When the numbers and facts make no difference to direct actions, then actions are directed by belief, and belief is synonymous with religion. -Dan Sevy

    CONTRIBUTED ARTICLE:

    Well, believe it or not members from the legislature are still working on further prohibiting our free exercise of religion and health care treatment.

    We have informed the governor and legislators on several occasions that the report from the “Governors Task Force On Children At Risk” is false. We have told them of the larger families, (often over 10 children), common to church members. Having more children means, by the law of averages, more incidence of death. Sadly!  But the Governors’ office has not backed away from the false child mortality rate stated in the report commissioned by him.

    Furthermore when I had finished laying out the facts and statistics to Mr Otter he stated, “The numbers make no difference to him”, I can only conclude that he simply believes in the “superiority” of the medical system, (3rd leading cause of death)!  

    So I have come to the conclusion that this movement comes about simply because some legislators believe that the state should prohibit free exercise of religion and our God given right and duty, whenever parents choices (driven by belief) are not in accordance with the beliefs held by the State. In other words the state wants to make a law establishing a belief, (belief / religion) held by the state in spite of the facts, statistics, and the constitutions of the State and the United States!



     Death from medical care itself : John Hopkins University 3rd leading cause of death

    This is a fight to protect our children, our rights, our country!

    The State would force our children to be treated by state licensed medical professionals even when we believe herbs, homeopathy, spiritual, or another treatment would be best! If we refuse to comply, the state will take our children from our homes, shove their poisons into them by force, then very likely never return our children to our loving homes.

     If our children, taken by the state, are harmed or die in their custody, what recourse would we have? The statute as written insulates the medical professionals from recourse, and the state doesn’t even have to apologize for accidentally harming or killing our children held in their custody!  Oh by the way, then they send us the bill!

    In conclusion, if we want to save the children, save them from the state and the 3rd largest killer of children in the U.S. ‘the medical industrial complex’.

    It is an outright lie that children are dying due to lack of medical treatment and the state knows it!

    Belief begets religion and religion is the result of belief. When the numbers and facts make no difference to direct actions, then actions are directed by belief, and belief is synonymous with religion.

    The state is prohibited by the constitution from making a law respecting an establishment of religion / belief, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.     We all have the right to free exercise of religion / belief!

         We have the right to freedom of choice of heath care treatments for us and our children.

         The state seems to want to make our health care treatment choices for us and interfere in family health decisions!

         Freedom can not be legislated, legislation only restricts freedom.  

         The end result of any health care treatment decision is uncertain and can always end in tragedy.
         Would you want to take responsibility for a tragedy caused by interference?

         Remember, “First do no harm!” medical error, 3rd leading cause of death!

      

    “Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship to restrict the art of healing to one class of Men and deny equal privileges to others; the Constitution of the Republic should make a Special privilege for medical freedoms as well as religious freedom.”

    ― Benjamin Rush- (One of the signers of the Declaration of Independence)

    DEATH REVIEW BOARD FINDINGS:

    Refusal of Medical Treatment Due to Religious Beliefs
    In 2013, the CFR Team identified 5 deaths to infants from families whose religious beliefs prevented them from seeking medical intervention. All of these 2013 deaths were to newborn infants. ***IDAHO ranks one of the highest states in PREMATURE BIRTHS.

    In 3 consecutive review years, the team has encountered a total of 10 deaths to infants or children who were reportedly not treated medically due to the parents’ religious beliefs. These cases were identified using information provided on death certificates and coroner reports. Since Vital Statistics does not compile the number of deaths in this category, it is difficult to estimate the actual number of preventable deaths to children of religious objectors.
    For the 2013 review year, the causes of death to infants from families who did not seek medical treatment included meconium aspiration, intestinal blockages, and sepsis. The CFR Team determined that each of these deaths may have been prevented with proper and timely medical treatment.

    MEDICAL ERROR. THIRD LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH.
    source of statistics/interview of author Death from medical care itself : John Hopkins University 3rd leading cause of death
    original analysis: http://www.bmj.com/content/353/bmj.i2139

    Medical error has been defined as an unintended act (either of omission or commission) or one that does not achieve its intended outcome,3 the failure of a planned action to be completed as intended (an error of execution), the use of a wrong plan to achieve an aim (an error of planning),4 or a deviation from the process of care that may or may not cause harm to the patient.5 Patient harm from medical error can occur at the individual or system level. The taxonomy of errors is expanding to better categorize preventable factors and events.6 We focus on preventable lethal events to highlight the scale of potential for improvement.
