Healthy Living News & Tips

This story is heartbreaking. Ashley Ryburn got the Gardasil HPV vaccine as recommended by doctors nationwide. Then something went wrong. Her whole life has been turned upsidedown. She's no longer a happy, healthy young teenager. She is in pain. She has 'episodes' regularly. She gets tired and needs to sleep. She's on many different medications just to control her symptoms. She can no longer bike, run around or exercise. Listen to her story in her own words and then consider if getting a vaccine of any kind is the right thing to do. For yourself or your child.

Also, here are some quotes regarding children and vaccinations compiled by Mike Adams of NaturalNews.com.

"Recent evidence indicates that routine childhood vaccinations contribute to the emergence of chronic allergic problems such as eczema, ear infections, and asthma. While this contention is controversial, a growing number of scientists and physicians maintain that most standard vaccinations permanently disturb the developing immune system, setting the stage for hypersensitive reactions to foods and other common substances. In fact, childhood illnesses such as measles, mumps, and whooping cough may actually reduce the risk of allergy, says Konrad Kail, N.D."

Childhood vaccinations may also be one element that contributes to allergy, in a way that is similar to the mechanisms of the hygiene hypothesis. The vaccinations that prevent childhood illnesses may actually be making children more vulnerable to allergic disorders, by changing the natural function of their immune systems. Specifically, the vaccinations appear to make kids' immune systems too Th-2 skewed, with a relative deficit of Th-1 activity.

A beautiful young girl developed MS a few months after a series of smallpox vaccinations that were given to try to "boost" her immune system; she tried every dietary and herbal cure on earth to stem the inexorable disease; but none worked. My heart ached as I saw her come to my classes each time weaker and weaker, and finally in a wheelchair, unable to focus her eyes or to write. I think it's not unreasonable to suspect that all the tampering and the "boosting" and the chemical intervention in the immune system can cause that damage.

With the 'flu' season upon us, we're being told to get a flu shot, now available in almost any store, church or even airport you visit during the season.

But should you get it?

That's what parents are hearing in Prince Georges County Maryland today. Over 800 parents of children who have not been vaccinated have been ordered to appear in court this Saturday or face a fine and jail time. If the parents show up with their children, health officials will be on hand to administer vaccines on the spot.

Does this sound as strange to you as it does to me? Being forced to inject your child with a vaccine or be put in jail? Are we in a police state?

First there is no law in the United States that anyone must be vaccinated. Some states, including Maryland, have mandated that children in certain age groups must have certain vaccines, but they all have exemptions or waivers for religious and personal beliefs.

There are no laws, just mandates in certain areas. So how can Attorney General Glenn Ivey in Maryland threaten parents by saying "we can do this the easy way, or we can do it the hard way, but it needs to be done" ?

Second, there has been a rise in information, studies and data that vaccinations in general are unsafe. Many vaccines, including the ones mandated in Maryland, contain Thimerosal, a chemical preservative made, in part, along with toxic methyl mercury. This very toxic substance has been banned in many countries for years, but not in the United States.

To this day it appears that the motive of financial profit is above that of health and protecting people and drug companies continue to profit from mandates like these. NewsTarget has a great report on the dangers of Thimerosal. Drug manufacturers have apparently known about the dangers since 1991 or earlier according to records. But to this day, many vaccines are manufactured containing this toxic chemical and injected into our children, who are just developing their immune systems. There are volumes of data detailing the harm of giving children a toxic substance, even if common sense is set aside.

Vaccinations in general aren't as effective as you might think. Take the flu vaccine. Every year there is a new strain, but drug companies 'guess' what the strain may be to create the vaccine in time for the season. In studies it's been found that the chances of getting the flu or dieing from the flu were just as great before, during or after the flu season, regardless of whether the person got a shot that year.

The best medicine in most any health issue is prevention. Avoiding processed foods, toxins, pesticides and environmental pollution and concentrating on eating fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and natural grains, preferably organic. Staying active daily and keeping a positive outlook on life. These simple lifestyle changes give you an advantage in keeping you healthy and avoiding most health challenges.

If you feel this is as wrong as I do, take action. Learn more about the dangers of vaccines and do not allow your fellow citizens to be forced into injecting their children with toxic substances that are known to be harmful.

To your best health!
