Future of America: Vaccination Agenda

6/27/2016

2 Comments

 
Picture














Did you know there is a specific branch of our government called "The United States Department of Health and Human Services" (HHS)? At first glance it sounds like it would be a pretty helpful entity - backed by the power of government and here to help with the health of it's dear citizens...that is, if you still trust our government. Well, did you know they have a plan in motion called the National Adult Immunization Plan, and it is on track to be aggressively pushing more vaccines into our adult citizens by 2020?  
  

The Plan is outlined in 4 parts and each has sub-objectives. You can view the details in the hyperlink above, but here is my paraphrased summary:

1. Strengthen Infrastructure
-This includes monitoring compliance with receiving recommended vaccines and tracking vaccination status through electronic health records and immunization systems, and increasing their use and tracking ability.
- Monitoring safety and injury reports and evaluating them for actual causality. (Basically, this translates to me as disproving injury claims and using VAERS to prove safety rather than expose the truth - which is the exact opposite)
-Generate evidence of how well the vaccines are working. 


2. Improve access to adult immunizations
 
-​Offering financial incentives to both compliant adults agreeing to vaccines and providers who give them.
-Expanding provider network.
-Making sure ample vaccine supplies are well-stocked and tracked for vaccination needs during disaster and public health emergencies. 
​This part of the plan demands extensive monitoring and documentation.


3. Increase Demand for Adult Vaccines
- Strategic communication geared toward specific communities, including language, literacy, and cultures. 
- Eliminate any hesitation to comply and any skepticism regarding vaccine safety using all means necessary including provider pressure, leveraging faith-based and community infrastructures, employers, trusted leaders...and probably celebrity spokespersons. On this note, watch for increasing television shows and movies projecting impending death and terror to be only averted by scientists developing the perfect vaccine just in time.
- Increase vaccination status of all adults with a special focus on having 90% of adults recieveing the flu vaccine yearly, pregnant women compliant with getting both flu and Tdap vaccines, and increasing the doctor patient vaccine assessment protocol to ensure we know which vaccines they want us getting on a regular basis.


4. Develop More Vaccine and Vaccine-Related Technologies
- There are at least 271 vaccines in development. Over 100 of them are for infectious disease. I suppose going back to point number 3 we can expect to become aware of the newest upcoming horrible horrendous killer virus and bacteria lurking around as they attempt to scare the public into wanting the self-proclaimed preventative for said scary diseases - just about the time they are almost ready for market.   
- Development of new technology for the tracking, storage, delivery method, and monitoring of vaccine compliance.


The government is actively making goals to implement and achieve greater vaccine compliance and trust in both current and future vaccines. They also have plans for implementing vaccines via military if necessary in what they deem an emergency health crisis. I'm not sure how long it will take or what it will take to get to the point that we are under heavy coercion or forced vaccination in order to reside here or travel, but it seems that the motion is headed that way. 

We are living in a society where SWAT breaking down your door in the middle of the night armed to the teeth is legal for non-violent crimes or even errant assumptions on innocent people. And if you wake up prepared to defend yourself because you have no idea who is breaking in (and they are not announcing it) you can get a hundred rounds pumped into you - and it is justified by our government! This aired on a local channel this month and goes into detail the injustice I just described.

Road blocks with emergency vehicles full of vaccines that won't let you pass until you show your vaccine papers or pull up your sleeves are reported as a future plan in this account.

This doesn't sound like the America I learned about in school. It sounds like a horror film.

My Quest For The Best Water, Part 1

6/27/2016

0 Comments

 
Several years ago I bought a $2000 counter-top alkalizer/ionizer that was supposed to give me amazingly pure, non-toxic alkaline water. After years of use I was told that said machine did NOT remove fluoride, but the new affordable unit available does. After a year of use I discovered that it is useless for fluoride removal. Infuriated, and a bit panicked that I have been unwillingly poisoning my children, I went on an emergency quest, involving massive amounts of research, to get clean, non-toxic water into our home. This series will share all that I learned on that journey and why I made the final decision I did on what is actually the best water for my home (and maybe yours!).
Picture
Part 1
The day I found out that my expensive machine did not remove fluoride I drove an hour and a half to get the new one. Admittedly, it did make my water taste great - even my 4 year old could tell the difference. And I believe it removes plenty of toxins for $680, but it does NOT remove 
fluoride, which is what I was promised. The bottom line is...I'm embarrassed. I'm known for diligently doing my research and not only did I not do my research and took someone's word for it, but I even sold this junk to my friends and poisoned their families as well as my own. Believe this, the research I did after I discovered the truth was thorough and even down right annoying to the salesmen I bombarded day after day with questions following the research I did based on their answers from the day before, and those answers led to more questions the following day. Almost all of them told me on more than one occasion "I have never had someone ask about that" and "I have never had anyone concerned about that issue before...let me check". And after they checked, I checked. Again and again.

What else would I have done besides use that cheap little filter? Anything! I would have taken out a second mortgage if I needed to in order to avoid poisoning my kids. We drink a lot of water around here. In fact, we came to the conclusion that we didn't even want them bathing in the toxic waste and went on a search for pure water for the whole house. Fortunately, after weeding through several hours of salesmen's pitches and explanations and answers, dozens of hours of online research, and asking about 1,000 questions, I found what seems to be the obvious choice for the best water available, and it is surprisingly affordable. 

The first guy that came was the only one with a fluoride meter and tested my water. Really, he wanted to prove to me that my counter-top alkalizer/ionizer/filter was useless, but with class enough that he didn't say that...he just said, "Let's see how this is doing" knowing full-well what the result would be. I learned that the federal limit for fluoride dumping in our water is .7ppm. As far as I'm concerned the limit should be 0ppm. My tap measured up at 1.15ppm!  And if steam wasn't already coming out of my ears then, when he measured my trusted Watermark and found the fluoride content to be 1.12ppm, my gracious smile did not hide the fact that my blood was boiling. I have been unwillingly poisoning my kids based on a lie their entire lives against my will. Honestly, I had to activate some kind of "ignore" button in my brain to get through the rest of that meeting, in addition to several parts of the next week. I still get worked up if I think about it long enough. Honestly, if I did not love and care for the man that sold it to me...I need to confess an unhealthy temptation to go practice my Krav Maga on such a person that would lie to me and promise me their machine would remove a neurotoxic poison from the water I would be giving my children. I don't believe that he lied to me intentionally, but I think that he was misled and might even have wishful thinking on the matter. I can't even..."focus on good things" I keep reminding myself...the good thing being I found out early and I found the solution, moving on.

Over the next 3 meetings and week following I learned the difference between Jacobi Catalytic Carbon and Activated Carbon, water softeners with purification systems built in and those without, activated 
alumina verses bone char, potassium or sodium for flushing water softeners, the softening pellets...and silica quarts??? (this end conclusion was unsatisfying to say the least), dirty dealings with unscrupulous companies, those that actually know the industry compared to those that only know what their company taught them (strangely similar to essential oil companies, ha!) and how varied in quality a Reverse Osmosis system can actually be. Stay tuned for Part 2 where I go into detail on the answers to some of these questions and the process of weeding through the options,  hopefully taking the work out of the research for you.

My Quest For The Best Water, Part 3

Several years ago I bought a $2000 counter-top alkalizer/ionizer that was supposed to give me amazingly pure, non-toxic alkaline water.

This series will share all that I learned on that journey and why I made the final decision I did on what is actually the best water for my home (and maybe yours!).
Picture
Part 3
I want to back up for just a second to mention that the day after I found out our expensive counter-top unit did not remove fluoride, a Culligan man informed us that the purified bottled water at Costco was actually RO water. The next morning I went to Costco and bought a case of water, plus a case of locally sourced very special water from Carlsbad Mineral Springs. Upon testing their pH, they were both acidic - about 6.5. The Carlsbad water has a pH of 8-9 at the source, but apparently it loses is charge and pH after bottling. It was very expensive. Obviously, the RO water wasn't using a remineralization filter and if it did, it lost it's high pH as well. So we added PuripHy drops and/or baking soda to each bottle to boost the pH while we waited for our new water and sorted through the decision. After barreling through about 3 gallons daily I couldn't wait to get our eventual water system in! 

​Continuing where I left off, on my emergency search for an alumina tank, I called the manufacturer of the tank initially offered by company 3 (I only knew who to call because   of a tip from a salesman who gave me the name of the company so I could further my research). When I got in touch with the manufacturer, who again explained to me that they do not sell to the public nor give the public advice, he was cool enough to confirm what the tanks are used for and give the numbers of other local retailers. 

Company 4: 
​Meanwhile, I found an online company that sells these tanks. But their tanks are even a bit more special than the one that company 3 was offering because it doesn't just have Activated Alumina, the tanks also have KDF-55 and Jacobi Catalytic Carbon and you have the choice between the alumina or bone char for fluoride removal.  This actually would take care of all of the whole house filtration. Come to find out they also sell water softeners and RO systems. 

What could they offer for my needs? 
A 3-part system:
1. whole house purification tank with catalytic carbon, KDF-55 and fluoride
​    media(activated alumina or bone char)
2. Water softener (huge capacity 64,000 grains or 2 cubic feet, smaller ones are available)
3. Reverse Osmosis

What I did and did not like about their system?
​The only thing I didn't like right out of the gate was the RO system because it only has 4 parts and uses activated carbon rather than catalytic. I was very interested in the filter and softener and learned that it is best to keep your filter and softener separate because the softener media only needs to be changed every 15 years and the toxin filters should be changed yearly.

Initial cost of the filter and softener: $1525 (You could add the RO for $300)
Maintenance over 5 years: $1980
I needed to investigate their quality, sources, and materials which opened a whole process of this research uncovering even more information than the first portion. Here are the questions that came up as we learned about everything the online/install it yourself company offered:

Q: What is KDF-55? 
A: A high-quality alloy of copper and zinc. It is awesome! It kills algae and fungi, control bacteria growth, and remove chlorine, pesticides, organic matter, rust, unpleasant taste and odour, hydrogen sulfide, iron, lead, nickel, chromium, cadmium, calcium, aluminium, mercury, arsenic, and other organic compounds.

Q: It produces ozone and we don't like ozone. Is there ozone in the finished product? 
​A: There should not be ozone in the final product because the charcoal removes it.

Q: Difference between Activated Alumina and Bone Char for removal of fluoride?
A: They seems to be equals in fluoride removal but bone char can't seem to handle a high pH coming in. I actually got various answers on this but when I sought to confirm, it seemed the bone char had that flaw. Also, bone char is not vegan, it is made from cow bones - lot's of them. Don't get me wrong, as much as I promote veganism and think it is awesome, if the only choice I had to give my children fluoride-free water was by using cow bones I'd do it.

Q: Does and RO system remove ozone in the event there is any remaining in our water?
A: Yes, because it has charcoal.

Q: If my system can handle 6 gallons per minute and my water pressure is much higher, will it ruin my tank?
A: No, it can clean that much per use. Showers often run around 2.5 gallons per minute, so if the whole house was running 6 gallons per minute it could clean it just fine.

Q: I see it is designed for water free of iron and sulfur. How do I know if I have those and what if I do?
A: Iron and sulfur are found in wells, they have different systems for wells.

Q: Installation instructions?
A:Very good ones. (from our personal experience)

Q: Do I want the optional Vortech tank?
A: Yes, it will save water and electricity (included in the price above)

Q: How long do the media replacement supplies last?
A: If kept in packaging and not exposed to moisture, many years.

My final decision:
Get my filter and Softener from the online company (pure-earth.com) and my Reverse Osmosis system from San Diego Pure Water (Company 1). 



This was my final decision and what we purchased. After a few months of using this multi-part system, we had our water tested. We bought test equipment and had it professionally tested to confirm our findings. We found out that one of the systems was NOT working as it should. The alumina tank is not removing fluoride, in fact it looks as though it is combining with the fluoride and together adding a toxic fluoride to our water! I'm SO glad we have our awesome RO system because that is removing ALL THE FLUORIDE per our testing! We needed to go back to the drawing board and research different types of bone char, the amount needed, and the best place to get the right tank and char. As of right now, we have decided to remove all of the media from our whole house filter and replace it with fresh KDF-55 and catalytic carbon to continue removing the other impurities from our house water. I have been told that bone char works great, but I have also been told that bone char is useless and it is impossible to find NSF certified and medical grade bone char, which we would require if we were putting it in our home. 

For an awesome 6-stage, alkalizing Reverse Osmosis system purchase from San Diego Pure Water, call and tell them you were referred by Courtney at Alkaline Mom for a great deal! I worked with the owner, Bob, on getting a system set up with a  self-install kit. There are 3 options:

Perfect Water 506 - High capacity 6 stage RO with Hi Alkalinity Re-mineralization. Regular $1,099, with discount code Alkaline Mom $699

My Quest For The Best Water, Part 2

6/15/2016

Several years ago I bought a $2000 counter-top alkalizer/ionizer that was supposed to give me amazingly pure, non-toxic alkaline water. After years of use I was told that said machine did NOT remove fluoride, but the new affordable unit available does. After a year of use I discovered that it is useless for fluoride removal. Infuriated, and a bit panicked that I have been unwillingly poisoning my children, I went on an emergency quest, involving massive amounts of research, to get clean, non-toxic water into our home. This series will share all that I learned on that journey and why I made the final decision I did on what is actually the best water for my home (and maybe yours!).
Part 2
In this post, I'm going to process the information I received from various companies that pitched their water purifying systems to me. I am also going to highlight the things that interested me most about each of these systems.

Company 1: 
The regional sales manager who typically sends out other sales representatives actually decided to come to my house himself after our brief initial phone call because of my history with ionizers, understanding of alkaline water, and severe aversion to fluoride and other chemicals. He has been in the industry for 29 years, even testing water all over the country. He knows the industry, not just his system and would only sell something he believed in. His test equipment was unmatched - he was the only one able to test our fluoride levels, as I discussed in the last post, and ours is off the charts. 

What did he suggest for us?
A 2-part system:
1. A water-softener that doubles as a state-of-the-art whole house purification system
2. Reverse Osmosis (RO) system for under our sink to eliminate 99.99% of fluoride and extra filtration for our drinking and cooking water.

What aspects of this system were selling points and which were not?
1. One of the main points he went over several times is that their system uses Jacobi Catalytic Carbon rather than just plain old coconut shell activated carbon and said that Jacobi absorbs 5x more toxins than activated.
2. He knew what potential threats could be in water and how his system could handle them. The whole house system both softened water, which is great for skin, water use, detergent use, and ridding detergents, but it removed 99.99% of chloramines, pesticides, herbicides, pharmaceuticals (that could potentially end up in our water if our water supply starts using reclaimed water, which some cities already do), haloacetic acids, trihalomethanes, scale, hydrogen sulfide, fertilizers and more.
3. The RO system
- 6-stage, including a re-mineralization filter to add back in important minerals to increase the pH of the water to healthy drinking pH (8-9). 
- includes a Jacobi Catalytic Carbon filter (not just activated carbon).
- the Perfect Water 507 Permeate Pump yields 2 gallons of good water to 1 gallon of waste water.

The initial cost proposal: $3900.00
Maintenance over 5 years: $450

Company 2: 
The salesman was very nice and thorough in his answers. He did say that in some respects it is hard to tell what is in the water because it changes all the time and it would be hard to know how to remove each contaminant and so their filtration system for the whole house might not remove everything and it would be hard to prove. I think that there is obviously some truth to that, but I also want to use the most powerful system that will remove everything possible.

What did he suggest for us?
​A 3-part system:
1. Water Softener
2. Big Blue Filter
3. RO under our sink

What aspects of the system were selling points and which were not?
I didn't know it at the time, but having the whole house purification function separate from the softener is beneficial, the reason I will cover in Part 3.
​On the other hand, they use activated carbon rather than Jacobi Catalytic and has a 5-stage RO system rather than 6.

Initial Cost Proposal: $4720
​Maintenance over 5 years: $972

Company 3: 

The sales representative from this company was likable. He came with test equipment and although he couldn't measure our fluoride, he did measure and compare our tap water to our Watermark and showed us a few things. He had us wash our hands with soft water, and I honestly had to laugh out loud - my husband's reaction to this phenomena was infomercial-worthy! It was at that moment, and his discussion on water softening, that we were convinced we wanted soft water for our skin, not just for purification benefits. 

What did he suggest for us?

A 3-part system:
1. An Activated Alumina tank right after our main water supply to remove 90%-95% of fluoride coming into the house.
2. Their water softener/whole house purification system.
3. RO system for our kitchen.

What aspects of the system were selling points and which were not?

The primary factor that shot this companies rankings to the top was the ability to remove fluoride from our whole house for less than $8500. Their softener/purification tank is a 5-part system. On the other hand, their RO was only 5-stage and both the RO and purification tank use activated and not Jacobi Catalytic Carbon.
One other fascinating part of the offer was that they don't lower their price, but they include several years worth of natural cleaning products. At first, this did not appeal to me, but after looking at them I admit, I got excited to use them, including the natural dish washing liquid. A major downside was that the RO system produces 1 gallon of good water for every 2 gallons of wasted water. He also gave me a handy chart that showed which media removed which toxins...a reference that proved valuable later.

Initial cost proposal: $5490 financed/$4990 cash
​Maintenance over 5 years: $1075


So, as I considered what these systems had to offer some questions came up and the answers I found.
Q: Is Jacobi Catalytic really better than activated carbon?
A: Yes, yes, and yes.

Q: What are the ways fluoride can be removed?
A: Reverse Osmosis, Activated Alumina, Distillation, Bone Char, link here. 

Q: Can fluoride be absorbed into the body through the skin?
A: Some say yes, some no. I know currently there are 3 forms of toxic fluoride pumped into our water system. Maybe some are, some not. Maybe they will 
dump some it that is in the future. Either way, do I want my kids bathing in toxic waste? No.

So, in the end, I was thinking that since only the third company had the option to remove it from my whole house, they would win. But then I thought, why compromise? I liked the RO system better from Company 1, and their carbon better. So I thought I, being the customer, could split the difference. Company 3 told me that the Alumina tank add-on was normally $800, but they would throw it into the deal "for free" (insert eye-roll). When I contacted the sales rep to confirm the price if we only get that, he said he wasn't sure if it included installation. He later came back and said the installation was another $400. And text me once again to say, "It isn't worth it for us, good luck with the other guy". I replied that I thought it was poor customer service to not be willing to sell me something to protect my family just because I didn't buy all their products and they came back and said they would do it for $1800 cash price, $1900 financed. That didn't sit well with me, so I decided to see if I could find it somewhere else. They aren't the only people in the world with an alumina tank. What I found threw a wrench into my entire plan and led to 1,000 more annoying questions for a 4th company. Stay tuned for Part 3.

This Woman Threatened To Call CPS On Me!

6/4/2016

​About a year or 2 ago I decided to throw out some bait. I was tired of conversations that contained phrases like "but my doctor said" or "the entire CDC agrees" or "the government would never recommend shots if they were hurting people". People just don't always think for themselves. I decided to approach this from a different angle. I decided to being attention to vaccine ingredients without mentioning vaccines to see if anyone would notice the deadly cocktail without all the  brainwashing that apparently escorts the word "vaccine". Secretly, yes, I was hoping that some pro-vaccine person in my friends list would bite. And she did. Here is the thread that led to her threat to call Child Protective Services on me:


ME: I have been looking into some supplements for the kids. The one most recommended contains this...any thoughts? Not sure if it seems safe (Husband).   [I just copied and pasted vaccine ingredients listed on the CDC website]
Medium 199, Minimum Essential Medium, phosphate, recombinant human albumin, neomycin, sorbitol, hydrolyzed gelatin, chick embryo cell culture, WI-38 human diploid lung fibroblasts, casamino acids, yeast, ammonium sulfate, Polysorbate 80, succinate buffer, aluminum phosphate, soy peptone broth, 2-phenoxyethanol, formaldehyde, neomycin, streptomycin, polymyxin B, monkey kidney cells, Eagle MEM modified medium, calf serum protein, sucrose, sodium citrate, sodium phosphate monobasic monohydrate, sodium hydroxide, polysorbate 80, cell culture media, fetal bovine serum, vero cells (DNA from porcine circoviruses), formalin, yeast protein, aluminum phosphate, aluminum hydroxide, amino acids, phosphate buffer, polysorbate 20, neomycin sulfate, MRC-5 human diploid cells

Husband: Have you lost your mind?

Friend 1: Gross!

Friend 2: Calf serum? Human diploid cells? This stuff sounds awful.

Me: Yes, it may sound strange to us and even dangerous because a lot of the ingredients are known to cause cancer...but most doctors recommend it and I'm told we are just uneducated and too ignorant to understand the value and irresponsible to question the doctors that know more than we do.

Friend 3: Are you concerned it isn't safe to flush down the toilet? Good for you! I don't think it is. Maybe incinerate. [As you can see, some friends in the know about vaccines knew right away to what I was referring]

Friend 4: Mmmm, chick embryo cell culture and monkey kidney cells mixed with yeast and formaldehyde...do those doctors give this to their own children, I wonder?

Friend 5: Please tell us the brand. As a student of naturopathic nutrition, I'm dying to know. The things I've heard recommended about nutrition from docs is just incredible, including when they recommend folic acid for pregnant women. 45% of the population cannot metabolize that and this synthetic form of the vitamin and it blocks folate from being absorbed. Fail!

Friend 6: HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

Me: As far as I can tell it seems very convincing that the doctors that recommend this do actually give it to their children and take it themselves when fitting. The manufacturer says there are risks (such as cancer, diabetes, arthritis, Kawasaki's disease, blood clotting disorders, encephalitis, Guillian Barre syndrome, rash, death, seizures, brain damage - but these are probably pretty rare), but most doctors unanimously agree that the benefits outweigh the risks. It is supposed to prevent tons of diseases like diarrhea and rash and hepatitis and even some coughing. It seems silly not to give my children a preventative for a rash, fever, and cough if I can at all help it. And some day they might become sexually active, so I need to think of that. Oh yeah, it even protects against polio...if we ever travelled somewhere that polio actually exists.

Friend 6: Yes I need a brand so I can see if my pediatrician recommends it also...
Oh, gotcha!!! Actually the peds at our clinic do recommend this

Me: It is the ONLY preventative actually approved by the FDA. All the others are just from "quacks" the doctors say. I was concerned about some of the things on the paper inside the box, but when I asked, one doctor got really annoyed that I would question his recommendation and told me that I am just a mom and am misinterpreting the information. It seemed pretty blatant that it could cause so many diseases - bad ones, deadly ones - but the doctor said it would be better than maybe getting a rash for a few days because those are contagious. I felt like I must be living in a different world because I always thought that cancer, blood-clotting disorders, seizures, and death were worse than a rash. Am i nuts?

Me: Because, besides, the product can cause a fever and rash, but the doctors say that it is ok and perfectly fine to get a fever and rash from the product but irresponsible and selfish if I let my kids get one on their own.


Friend 5: The vitamins that my husband and in laws have been given by the NHS are the absolute worst--the cheapest, least bio-available. Total rubbish. I'm a fan of food first, but supplements do sometimes have a role to play. In the US, Thorne is a brand that is generally very good. They have high standards and do several third party tests on them to make sure they contain what they say they do, and when I compare them to my lecture notes from my classes about the best forms, they are typically right on. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for, too.

Friend 7/THE WOMAN: [And here it is] Look, I have read enough. You are going to kill your children. You obviously have issues and need to deal with them first hand. Honestly, if I find out you give your girls these supplements, you can bet your life CPS will be contacted and involved!!

Me: "Woman", did you by any chance read all the comments also? I think you might be right, but most doctors recommend them and give them to their patients and around 95% of parents let them.

Friend 5: Yes, the doctors here in the UK recommend them to their patients as well and most of the parents give them.

Me: I wouldn't let anyone give my children "preventative supplements" without reading the ingredients and information in the package and thoroughly researching every aspect of it, not well-meaning friends or doctors. I don't even let people give my kids food without reading ingredients first.  I just looked up one of the ingredients- Polysorbate 80. It is used in food products, vitamins, and vaccines. It is an emulsifier and and a solvent. It is used to carry nano particles and drugs across the blood-brain barrier to the brain. The material safety data sheet says this:  
POLYSORBATE 80 
9005-65-6 
100 
Section 3: Hazards Identification 

Potential Acute Health Effects: Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation. 

Special Remarks on Chronic Effects on Humans: 
May cause adverse reproductive effects based on animal test data. No human data found. May cause cancer based on animal test data. No human data found. May affect genetic material (mutagenic)

Me: Woman, I actually think it is really cool that you are so passionate about protecting children that you would threaten to call CPS on me! You have a lot of guts to stand up for kids and that is awesome! The point of this post was t
o raise awareness. Most people don't know what they are allowing doctors to inject into their kids because doctors don't offer informed consent. Those ingredients listed above in the "preventative supplements" are vaccine ingredients that I copied and pasted straight from the CDC website for just a FEW of the vaccines given in the first 12 months of a baby's life. Others that are given have a lot of the same ingredients repeated and also other toxic ingredients such as thimerisol (mercury in 6 month flu shot), live viruses, and killed viruses. A lot of these nasty poisons would actually be better if ingested because they could be pooped out, but since they are injected the kidneys need to filter them through the blood and the kidneys are not even fully developed until 1-2 years of age. The side-effects that I listed also came straight from the package insert. If more parents actually read the package inserts carefully (making sure they took the time to understand exactly what was being disclosed), they might hesitate and think about declining vaccines instead of just taking their doctor's word for it that they are safe (they are not). Neither doctors nor the manufacturer can be held liable if a child suffers from a vaccine injury. There is no accountability but lots of statements about vaccines being safe. They say that the science is settled, but it is not. The science is ongoing and there are currently over 6,500 *published* articles in the vaccine research library to back up the dangers AND ineffectiveness of vaccines. I care fiercely about kids, too...that's why I share and post stuff like this all the time.
