  • Erin got the Gardasil Shot, then she got Cervical Cancer

    When healthy Erin Crawford was in college she was asked to take the Gardasil vaccine as part of a trial. Having lost several family members to cancer, it was a no-brainer for her.

    To her shock, within 24 hours she was violently sick and vomiting. She would later develop cervical cancer within 18 months, the very thing the vaccine was supposed to protect her from.

    Here this well…

  • Whopping Cough: The Vaccine Spreads the Virus

    The DTaP/TDaP vaccines can spread the virus commonly known as whopping cough but its not through ‘shedding’ of a live virus. The vaccine can cause people to become infected, yet symptomless (or reduced symptoms) so they are unaware they actually have whopping cough and should self quarantine to avoid spreading the very illness they were trying to protect themselves (and others) from.

    DTaP/TDaP can result in the shedding of pertussis used in the same way as we state a live virus vaccines “sheds’ (like in feces). 
    Pertussis is a bacteria, not a virus, and it is in acellular form which is why there’s an “a” before the “P” in the name of the vaccine. It is chopped up bits of pertussis toxin (https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00048610.htm) along with some other bacterial bits in the vaccine. 

    The vaccine can cause someone to become an asymptomatic carrier of pertussis of they’re infected, which is just a scary as shedding, but is a different concept. 

    Its important to understand this nuance.W have to make sure we’re very accurate with the facts or we’re easily discredited. The opposition is ruthless and if someone posts somewhere on the internet that TDaP “sheds” because they learned that from another person they’re targets for being discredited and then potentially questioning every statement of fact.

  • Vaccine Preventable Diseases Summarized

    Our bodies are amazing. Even getting an illness is part of our bodies journey to transformation and total health. Dr. Stephanie Seneff (Senior Research Scientist MIT) made this fairly new discovery in regard to the flu virus.

    She says we live in a symbiotic relationship with all the other species, even the pathogens. The Flu virus goes into the muscles cells and reprograms them to hand over their sulfate. The flu virus delivers the sulfate to your blood. The sulfate cleans your blood by killing off the weak cells allowing growth for new cells. In effect, the flu virus is rescuing your blood from a future meltdown (more serious illnesses, perhaps cancer).

    The potential meltdown was there before getting the flu. It’s much like an overcrowded forest that catches fire to thin and clear out the debris and weak trees. It’s a natural process. Depending on what we eat, if we exercise, and if we take supplements to fortify our forest (blood) keeping only the strongest trees (cells) to begin with. Getting sick with the flu isn’t bad, it’s actually good for your body. You are cleaning house.

    Injecting thimerosol (ethylmercury), formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, aluminum hydroxide, polysorbate 80, Fenton medium (containing bovine extract), modified Latham medium (derived from bovine casein), modified Stainer-Scholte liquid medium, aluminum phosphate, 2- phenoxyethanol, Stainer-Scholte medium, modified Mueller’s growth medium, modified Mueller-Miller casamino medium (without beef heart infusion), dimethyl-1-beta-cyclodextrin, aluminum hydroxide, vero (monkey kidney) cells, calf serum, lactalbumin hydrolysate, neomycin sulfate, polymyxin B, and more, is not cleaning house. Quite the opposite.

    What happens with the ‘vaccine preventable’ illnesses?

    Chicken Pox = itchy rash; 5-7 days;

    Diptheria = low fever, sore throat; many infections are asymptomatic or mild; treat with antitoxin and antibiotics

    Haemophilus influenzae Type B (Hib) = flu symptoms, stiff neck; treat with antibiotics for 10 days

    Hepatitis A = transmitted orally through feces; children usually have no symptoms; flu symptoms, jaundice

    Hepatitis B = transmitted through blood, semen, vaginal fluids; flu symptoms, jaundice; most people do not show symptoms; acute Hep B

    Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) = transmitted sexually; usually resolves itself with no symptoms; takes years to develop into cancer; regular pap screens prevent cancer; vaccine discontinued in Japan due to adverse reactions

    Influenza
    – a.k.a. “the flu”; high fever, cold symptoms, vomiting; lasts 7-10 days; resolves itself; vaccine contains mercury (thimerosal)

    Measles = fever, cold symptoms, rash; 7-10 days

    Meningitis = flu symptoms, stiff neck; usually caused by bacteria or virus; viral usually causes no symptoms and resolves itself; bacterial is spread through saliva (kissing, coughing); most people who ‘carry’ the bacteria never become sick; bacterial is treated with antibiotics

    Mumps = fever, swelling of salivary glands; many people show no symptoms; resolves itself within a few weeks

    Pertussis = a.k.a. “whooping cough”; Besides a cough that sounds like “whoop,” symptoms include a runny nose, nasal congestion, and sneezing.

    Pneumococcus = flu symptoms, stiff neck; treat with antibiotics

    Poliomyelitis = 72% of infections cause no symptoms; 25% flu-like symptoms that last 2-5 days; 0.5% leads to more severe symptoms such as paralytic polio; only people with the paralytic infection are considered to have the disease

    Rotavirus = vomiting, diarrhea; children, even those that are vaccinated, may develop rotavirus disease more than once.

    Rubella = a.k.a. “three day measles”; flu symptoms; 1-3 days; 25 to 50% of people infected with rubella will not experience any symptoms

    Tetanus = sudden, painful contractions of muscle groups; caused by Clostridium tetani transmitted through broken skin; the bacteria can NOT survive in an oxygenated environment. prevention is to allow wound to bleed freely because the bacteria needs oxygen to germinate; treatment is tetanus immunoglobulin injection and hospitalization

    Vaccine Risks = ALL product inserts list numerous potential reactions including impaired immune system; autoimmune disorders; neurological damage, physical damage, and/or death.

    Vaccines that shed (are contagious): Measles, Mumps, Varicella (Chicken Pox), Oral Polio, Rubella, Rotavirus, Influenza (Flumist). Meaning they can infect the host and/or others around them for up to 6 weeks after injection. There are many studies showing that shedding has and can occur.

  • Our Military & VACCINE SYNDROME (2017)

    Our Military & VACCINE SYNDROME (2017)

    The Anthrax Vaccine Story.
    https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/va…
    This film, produced by Oscar nominated filmmaker Scott Miller, provides exclusive interviews with military personnel who have had experience with the controversial anthrax vaccine.

    The film claims that over 35,000 soldiers have died from the anthrax vaccine, according to a “RAC-GWVI Government Report” published in 2008. Compare that to how many soldiers have died in combat in both Iraq and Afghanistan, which is 6753 at the time of the filming.

    1 out of 3 of returning veterans
    including those who had NOT seen combat
    require treatment for depression and post traumatic stress syndrome
    -Veterans Adminstration Report July 2009


    The film starts out with a dramatized recreating of Lance Corporal Jared Schwartz, who refused to receive the anthrax vaccine. He had to face a military tribunal without legal counsel, and read a prepared statement. That statement can be found online, such as at the GulfWarVets.com website.

    The film also mentions how pharmaceutical companies have legal immunity from any injuries or deaths resulting from vaccines, and that the civilian population only has recourse to sue the federal government in a special Vaccine Court. However, military personnel are prohibited from suing in this court, which is part of the National Vaccine Compensation Program.

  • Vaccination Detox

    Vaccination Detox

    Vaccines are NOT a dead virus in sterile water. Depending on the type of vaccine, and the pharmaceutical brand, vaccines also contain mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde, antibiotics, MSG, residual DNA from aborted human fetuses, monkey kidney cells, cow (bovine) serum, and yeast. 

    So, why are some vaccines made with toxins like metals and MSG?

    Vaccines made to induce a low level immune response supposedly work better if they are revved up with an “adjuvant” – an agent to increase an immune response. When more than one vaccine is administered together it is called a conjugated vaccine.
    *printable CDC list of adjuvants by vaccine

    Many parents have requested information on how to ‘protect’ their child from vaccination toxins. The ONLY sure way to protect your child, would be to avoid all vaccine injections. Those children/adults who are vacinated could benefit from these gentle detox methods.

    Cold Pack -First of all, if you are choosing to vaccinate – take an ice pack with you and ice the vaccine site immediately after injection to reduce inflammation at the site. Continue using the cold pack for two days.

    Detoxification bath – Add 5 drops of Lavender essential oil to your child’s bath with a 2 cups of epsom salt. You can also do this as a foot bath.

    Probiotics – A probiotic is essential to restore gut flora and balance the immune system. Check with your health care practitioner for a good brand and dosage for your child.

    Omega 3 Oil – This is especially important to take if your child suffered an adverse reaction. Cod liver oil is thought to be the most superior of all fish oils. You can also use Udo’s Oil.

    Cilantro – Dr. Yoshiaki Omura discovered cilantro can accelerate the excretion of mercury and aluminum from the body. The theory is that cilantro has a molecular bond that binds to heavy metals and pulls them from the body. Cilantro therapy is certainly gentle and inexpensive.

    Vitamin C – Linus Pauling’s Nobel Prize winning work showed that Vitamin C helps counteract the damage of heavy metals, chemicals, and toxins contained in vaccines and strengthens the immune system. Vitamin C comes in easy to consume chewables for kids, but you can also use the powdered form and even liposomal vitamin C as an option.

    Silica – is an effective non-invasive therapy for reducing the burden of aluminum in the body, it has been show to help the body slow down the accumulation of aluminum.

    Water – When toxins are pulled from the body, they need to be flushed out. Full kidney function is dependent upon there being enough water in the body. Avoid soda, dairy, and junk juices and encourage your child to drink plenty of water.

    Raw Food, Juices, & Smoothies – Shoot for at least 2-3 raw juices or smoothies per day during a detox, in addition to their normal meals. Try to include foods like broccoli, collards and kale, daikon radish, garlic, onions, spices, and sunny-side up eggs from free-range chickens in their diet during this time.

    Make sure to check in with your healthcare advisor or practitioner during this time – and certainly before purchasing and dosing any supplements. 

    Your child should be monitored closely after vaccination. Reactions can occur at anytime and even to those children who have been vaccinated previously.

    If you suspect that you or your child has experienced a vaccine reaction,report that reaction to the government.

  • NVIC Now Monitoring 134 Vaccine Bills in 35 States

    NVIC Now Monitoring 134 Vaccine Bills in 35 States

    HFI: Vaccine bills in Idaho included now voted down HB 91 (vaccine tracking for adults) and SB 1050 clarification of vaccine exemption form.  (This HFI sponsered bill was heard by the Health Committee who agreed it was a valid concern and needed to be heard. Then it drawered by Senate Health Committee after pressured by the Health Department.)

    31 More Vaccine Bills Introduced in Past Two Weeks
    by NVIC Advocacy Team

    We are not even a full two months into the 2017 legislative sessions, and our NVIC Advocacy Team is tracking 134 vaccine related bills across 35 states on the NVIC Advocacy Portal.

    We have added 31 new bills since our last update 2 weeks ago and 8 of these new bills are in 5 states appearing for the first time: MD, NV, UT, VT, and WV.

    If you live in one of the following states, there are bills filed that can affect your rights: AR, AZ, CT, GA, HI, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, MA, MD, ME, MN, MO, MS, MT, NE, NH, NJ, NV, NY, OK, OR, PA, RI, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WA, and WV.

    Bills to Restrict, Eliminate or Expand Vaccine Exemptions

    The following states are priority opposition alert state as they now have bills to restrict or eliminate vaccine exemptions: AR(withdrawn), CT, IA, MN, NY, OK, PA, TX and UT.

    The following states are priority support alert states as they now have bills to add or expand vaccine exemptions: HI, IA, ID, MS (died), NJ, NY, OK, RI, TN, TX, WA, and WV. If you are in WV, a bill was just filed last week to expand vaccine exemptions and your calls are needed on Monday to get the bill set for a hearing.

    If you are in any of the following states, beware that there are bills filed to expand vaccine tracking or eliminate OPT-IN Consent for vaccine tracking and that these need to be opposed: CT, ID, KS, MA, MT, NY, TX and UT.

    Bills to Shame Schoolchildren with Vaccine Exemptions

    There are school shaming bills filed to require and normalize the public disclosure of vaccination and exemption rates in the following states: AZ, CT, NV, NY, OK, TX, UT, and VA (withdrawn). These bills need to be opposed as states that already do this have experienced increased media hostility towards schools or districts with lower vaccination or higher exemption rates. This instigates community driven discrimination and bullying of vaccine selective families.

    If you are in CT, TX, or UT, there are discriminatory and presumptuous bills that need to be opposed that mandate families utilizing vaccine exemptions participate in state required vaccine education. Just because a family takes an exemption, doesn’t mean they are lacking vaccine education. Conversely, just because a family vaccinates with everything, doesn’t mean they are educated yet no vaccine education is required of those blindly following recommendations.

  • MUMPS VACCINE doesn’t work

    MUMPS VACCINE doesn’t work

    HFI: The Mumps vaccine created by Merck doesn’t work. Merck is in the middle of a lawsuit that claims scientist were forced to FAKE the effectiveness of the vaccine.

    According to Stephen Krahling and Joan Wlochowski, both former Merck virologists, the Merck company engaged in all the following behavior:

    • Merck knowingly falsified its mumps vaccine test results to fabricate a “95% efficacy rate.”

    • In order to do this, Merck spiked the blood test with animal antibodies in order to artificially inflate the appearance of immune system antibodies. As reported in CourthouseNews.com:

    Merck also added animal antibodies to blood samples to achieve more favorable test results, though it knew that the human immune system would never produce such antibodies, and that the antibodies created a laboratory testing scenario that “did not in any way correspond to, correlate with, or represent real life … virus neutralization in vaccinated people,” according to the complaint. (http://www.courthousenews.com/2012/06/27/47851.htm)

    Mumps outbreaks from 2015 to present reflect that more than 80% of the individuals in the US contracting mumps had both ‘recommended doses’ of the MMR vaccine. Defying COMMON SENSE, health departments are considering recommending a THIRD DOSE of the ineffective vaccine. 
    This begs the question, WHO BENEFITS from the additional shot of vaccine that doesn’t work?

    Mumps Vaccine Ineffective more than 80% individuals with sickness were vaccinated

    Excerpt from the Washington Post Article: 

    Federal health officials are evaluating the benefit of an additional dose of the mumps vaccine because of the increasing number of mumps outbreaks since 2006. More than 5,000 cases of the contagious viral illness were reported last year in the United States, the most in a decade.

    Among the outbreaks in recent years, 19 occurred last year on college campuses. Arkansas has been battling an outbreak that began in one community last summer and has since infected 2,815 people, the largest recorded in that state.

    The mumps outbreaks have been occurring in communities with high rates of immunization and residents who often have received both recommended doses of the vaccine.

    Federal officials said Thursday that they are looking into whether mumps immunity decreases over time and whether there would be benefits to a third dose. State and local health authorities are particularly interested in that additional shot as a preventive measure, Mona Marin told the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.

    “Although the disease has not been serious, the disruption and expense it has caused for local and state health officials has been significant,” said Marin, a viral diseases expert with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 

    Currently, the CDC recommends that children receive two doses of the MMR vaccine — for measles, mumps and rubella — with the first dose at 12 to 15 months of age and the second at 4 to 6 years.

  • Herd Immunity: A clever marketing campaign

    Herd Immunity: A clever marketing campaign

    HFI: Continual outbreaks of ‘childhood diseases, and once again we are hearing references to the theory of “herd immunity.” The theory is the foundation for the mass vaccination campaigns around the world. It currently stipulates that in order to provide immunity to a population against contagious diseases like measles, you must vaccinate at least 95% of the population. Theoretically-speaking, with a vaccination rate of 95%, the diseases should be eradicated.
    The Idaho Health Department is pushing to have ALL individuals tracked in their immunization registry (H 91) in the name of ‘herd immunity’. 

    WHAT IS HERD IMMUNITY?

    In an epidemiological review paper titled “Herd Immunity: History, Theory, Practice,” written by Paul E. M. Fine and published in 1993, the author notes that the first “published use” of the term herd immunity “appears to have been” in a paper titled “The spread of bacterial infection: the problem of herd immunity,” written by W. W. C. Topley and G. S. Wilson and published in 1923. From Fine’s paper, it seems that the theory of herd immunity was originally developed based on some observations with mice and some “simple mathematical formulations,” but the paper is unclear about whether the theory was ever validated through some of sort scientific peer review process—as is commonly the case with theories that eventually come to be widely accepted as “proven science.”1 2

    In 1933, Dr. Arthur W. Hedrich, a health officer in Chicago, IL observed that during 1900-1930, outbreaks of measles in Boston, MA appeared to be suppressed when 68% of the children contracted the virus.3 Subsequently in the 1930s, Dr. Hedrich observed that after 55% of the child population of Baltimore, MD acquired measles, the rest of the population appeared to be protected. It was that observation that formed the basis for mass vaccination campaigns.4

    When the mass vaccination campaign for measles in the U.S. began in earnest in the mid-1960s, the U.S. Public Health Service planned to vaccinate over 55% (based on the Baltimore observation) of the U.S. population, and it announced that it fully expected to eradicate measles by 1967. When that didn’t happen, the Public Health Service came up with vaccination rate figures of 70-75% as the way to ensure herd immunity. When eradication was still not achieved at those rates, public health officials jacked up the rates to 80%, 83%, 85%, and ultimately to 90%.5

    The process by which the decisions to raise the rates is unclear. Was it based on some scientific methodology or assumptions? Or were the decisions simply made because officials felt pressure to fulfill their promises to fully eradicate measles? Did they ever consider pausing and re-evaluating the original premise behind the theory of herd immunity? Or did they trudge on, arbitrarily raising the bar?

    Now the rate is up to 95% to achieve herd immunity. But as we see with the continual outbreaks, even at 95% we still do not have full immunity. In China, the vaccination rates are even higher—99%. But there are also still measles outbreaks there.6 So is the answer 100%? And what if at 100% you still get outbreaks? We’ve gone from herd immunity supposedly achieved at 55% to herd immunity that is clearly not achieved even at 95%. At what point will public health officials have to confront the possibility that herd immunity may not be the best theory on which to base vaccination policy?

    The population of the U.S. stood at about 318.9 million in 2014.7 The “baby boomer” generation (those born between 1946 and 1964) account for about 24% of the total population.8 Many years ago, it was believed that childhood vaccines lasted a lifetime. It was not until relatively recently that it was discovered that most of these vaccines lost their effectiveness 2-10 years after being given.9

    Thus, for at least the past 40 years, the one-quarter to nearly 40% of the U.S. population represented by the baby boomers has had no vaccine-induced immunity against any of these diseases for which they had been vaccinated as a child. If you include those born after 1964, the percentage of the unprotected surpasses 50%. According to retired neurosurgeon Dr. Russell Blaylock, “If we listened to present-day wisdom, we are all at risk of resurgent massive epidemics should the vaccination rate fall below 95%.”9

    Given that at least half the population has effectively been without vaccine protection for many years, we should have experienced a massive resurgence in childhood infectious diseases. But this has not happened. In other words, we haven’t had herd immunity in the U.S., and yet the world hasn’t come tumbling down.

  • Vaccines and Anorexia, OCD, Anxiety Disorder, and Tics

    Vaccines and Anorexia, OCD, Anxiety Disorder, and Tics

    Marcella Piper-Terry
    Posted this important update on facebook last week:

    This is an important new study from researchers at Yale and Penn State. The researchers found a statistically significant increase in Anorexia Nervosa, OCD, Anxiety Disorder, and Tic Disorder in children and adolescents who had received vaccinations within the previous year, when compared to peers who had not received any vaccines during the prior year.

    The methodology in this study is sound; they took great care to control for confounding variables. And this was no small study sample – there were more than 95,000 subjects whose medical records were reviewed.

    They did not look specifically at DTaP or TDap, which I hope they will do in the future. This was a Pilot Study, which means they should now take this information and expand on it with further research.

    As a side note, do you know what some of the most obvious signs of “autism” are in a young child?
    1. Lining things up and extreme need for order and consistency (OCD),
    2. repetitive and stereotypical movements and behaviors (Tic disorder), and
    3. “failure to thrive” (aka “anorexia nervosa” when it happens later in life).
