Disclaimer: this blog post is not to offend, create controversy, judge, or degrade anyone. This is simply coming from a mom and Registered Nurse to help enlighten and educate those of you willing to break down biases and myths to seek truth. 

I’m tired of sitting quiet about what I have discovered through my experience and research journey. I’m tired of worrying about who I would offend by saying or not saying certain things. Bottom line, there are people and parents out there just wanting advice and truth. Why hold back and believe what media, most medical affiliates, and pharmaceutical companies shove in your face? I will have you know, a lot of it is a big game. A vicious cycle and demoralized tangled web of lies. This sounds extreme to say, but it’s pretty much the truth. Not to the fault of physicians, medical personnel, and pharmaceutical sales reps (because I am friends of many). They are not out to get you. Generally speaking, most are there for the greater good and seek to do what’s best. However, most are misinformed. Misinformed by skewed data and studies.

Where healthcare has been forced today has been taken away from listening to patients fully, blindly cheating on adequate research, and experimenting on our families and children.

How and why you ask? This is just so complex to answer. A lot has to do with lack of reimbursement from insurance companies and government healthcare plans, constant pressure on physicians and healthcare facilities to push patients in and out because of cost issues, more healthcare needs of individuals because of lack of health education and limited time to see and take care of them. There are just so many reasons thrown into the recipe. I’m just so saddened with the corruption of the CDC, FDA, and the pharmaceutical industry and how they choose to run things. How they continue to cover up lies and make us all believe we are protected from harm. I hate to say this guys, but the only protection we have for our health besides the big Man upstairs, is our capability of educating ourselves with the right kind of material. Unbiased, thoroughly researched, data and material coming from the right kind of sources. Sources that do not profit from any product. Interviewing families who’ve personally gone through detailed, similar healthcare situations. Not being afraid to obtain second opinions from various physicians with similar beliefs as yourself. Being okay to go with a gut feeling and dig into why you feel the way you do.

“The only protection we have for our health besides the big Man upstairs, is our capability of educating ourselves with the right kind of material.”

My experience as a nurse had me learn a long time ago that every one person is different. We need to take the time to listen to patients. I don’t put anything past anyone these days. Every day is a new learning experience and the body is one big complex puzzle that I truly believe we were never meant to FULLY understand.

Let me just discuss with you a couple of ways I believe our system is “messed up”.

Let me first start with one thing before I go into examples, then I’ll let you interpret as you may. They don’t call it “Big Pharma” for no reason. They basically “own” so much of what is thrown into our face. They have financial ties with news broadcasting and media, the FDA, and the CDC. They may say they do not have ties, but just because they aren’t direct, doesn’t mean it does not exist. Many employees of the FDA and the CDC have jumped back and forth with occupations between major pharmaceutical companies and positions that they have held with our government. Don’t be fooled to believe there is not financial gain to be had when they push and hasten certain methods and processes to get a drug on the market. Cover ups, cheating the testing process of safety, and so on. Why do you think we only hear about certain “outbreaks” (which are few, mild and never truly threatening) due to “lack of receiving” rather than the the staggering number of occurrences of adverse reactions that happen when we do receive. Timing is everything my dear Watson.
Now, examples of the “messed up” system…

The process by which a doctor may prescribe a medication (Not always, but in many instances it happens). Like I mentioned before, doctors are nice people (ha well many anyways). They are not the “bad guy”. Pharmaceutical sales reps are not the “bad guy”. They innately want to do what’s best. Still seek medical advice, duh, they went to school for a reason. HOWEVER, they are human and they DO make mistakes. If you aren’t comfortable with something IT IS YOUR RIGHT to be your own HEALTH ADVOCATE and say NO.

With that said, let me provide you with a picture of what many times happens when prescribing medications….

A drug rep (many who don’t even have a medical background) comes in a clinic or hospital (most of the time with lunch, gift certificates, desserts, samples, etc). They do a QUICK inservice on the drug they are representing and provide “data” and “statistics” done by a handful of scientists who work FOR the drug company EXPERIMENTING on a handful of people and claim it “safe” for the majority of the world to use. Doctors and nurses are educated by the rep based on biased opinions and are under the assumption as mentioned earlier, that we are all protected by something or someone preventing any harm to come to our health. They are under the assumption that because it got approved, they can prescribe without any repercussions. Again, it’s not by the fault of these reps. They just do what they are told and are themselves under the assumption that what they are educating is safe. No one stops to question where anything comes from anymore. No one researches processes anymore. So inevitably, these doctors start prescribing the drug for which disease process it was “created for” and literally sit back and watch to see if it helps the patient, adjusting as they see fit. Side effects are disregarded and viewed as “normal” and “common” and adverse reactions are making themselves known more and more, some even very serious and potentially fatal. We are medical guinea pigs.

We are made to believe that our only option is pharmaceuticals rather than healing from other safer sources such as diet, exercise, and reducing toxin exposure. There are other options people!! Besides, most of these “man made diagnoses” come from many times, the same source of the problem. Find the source. Eliminate it. Take care of your body, you are only given one. Certain medications do save lives when the time is right, but if we over expose ourselves to constant pill popping and IV shooting, our bodies through time will stop responding beneficially. Play smart.

My next topic, vaccines. (GASP) Yes, I said the forbidden word that causes so much hell to be raised in our world today. VACCINES. VACCINES. We can’t be afraid to talk about this. To question them. This, I truly believe, is the biggest cover up of lies in the medical industry today.

Please, I urge you to think past biases, stereotypes, judgements, and fears and continue reading.

We have to be smart and allow ourselves to be open minded by the potential harm to be caused by them. How can we be okay and open to the fact that EVERY other medication out there can potentially be harmful to someone, yet disregard the possibility of something injected into us numerous of times filled with heavy constituents and additives with huge risks when given alone, much less combined together not be detrimental to our health? It just doesn’t make any sense. No other medication is held over the entire public’s head and made generalized that it is ok for most everyone to take with no cause for a harmful reaction to take place.

I mentioned before, every human body is different and specific to its own unique make up. NOTHING can be generalized when it comes to health.

As soon as any other med creates harm to someone, a doctor reconsiders prescribing. Vaccines, a different story. The “general public’s safety is at stake”, “herd immunity”, and so on…. The list goes on. Let me tell you some FACTS. There has never, NOT ONCE, ever been a study comparing vaccinated vs unvaccinated people and the “benefits” vaccines bring and the “harm” the unvaccinated person brings. Before you think “unvaccinated children” put others at risk, let me tell you this…. Do you realize most, if not all vaccines have proven over time that the efficacy of it working has been a much shorter time frame then we were originally led to believe? Most vaccines (if even proven effective, which has truly never been done) require a booster shot within 4-5 years. This means that even adults require boosters. Do you think most adults are up to date? Nope and nope. So please don’t point fingers at the unvaccinated children when most of the population is truly “unvaccinated”.

Next, effectiveness. There is NO DEFINITIVE WAY TO PROVE ITS EFFECTIVENESS, yet we still play Russian Roulette with our children. You may have heard “polio has been pretty much eliminated” and certain diseases are now nonexistent since the onset of vaccines. Let me inform you that the onset of education of sanitation and taking care of our health has made these non existent. Diseases were on a rapid decline long before the introduction of vaccines. The development of the sanitation department came about in the late 1800s. (See graph below at the decline well before vaccines came about). If you break down the graphs of time and onset of both, you will be very surprised to discover that many of the diseases were eliminated because we stopped living in our own sewage, we became aware that rodents carried such diseases, that livestock were not safe to share living arrangements with, and so on. We learned that cleanliness and disinfecting does make a difference to our health. It sounds too simple and barbaric, but that’s what we came from. Look into it, research it. A great resource for that info is a book called “Dissolving Illusions”. It’s a phenomenal read and in my opinion very objective based on facts and realistic, concrete statistics.

Next up, vaccines and the relation to, dare I say it…. Autism. Yep, I went there. Before you fly off the handle and say “research has proven there is no relation”, let me ask you where you sourced that info from? Did you breakdown that study? Did it come from someone with financial ties? Was the data collected, manipulated? Let me say that Dr William Thompson, one of the former top scientists at the CDC, recently came out as a “whistleblower”. He stepped down from his role due to his conflicting, gut wrenching beliefs clashing with the plan of the rest of his colleagues. He came out and stated that the studies done in the earlier 2000s on the relation of the MMR vaccine to autism were manipulated. The numbers gathered were continually adjusted in order to better suit the favor for the push of vaccines. How they grabbed from one batch of experiments, ran the numbers, then pulled from a totally different group with altered results just to get the analysis they needed.

A recent documentary called Vaxxed, does an excellent job of bringing that visual to the table of the public’s eye and I urge you to go see it.

These exact skewed studies were brought to physicians (who again, strive to do “what’s best”), and allowed them to believe what they were giving was safe, fooling even the elite. The point I’m trying to make is don’t be afraid to question, look into where it originated, ask educated sources (multiple sources) and do what YOU feel is right. Doctors as well, please, please, question and research what you are prescribing. Be open minded to the possibility of harm and be an original avid explorer in your field. Listen to your patients. You hold great power, use it wisely.

“Don’t be afraid to question, look into where it originated, ask educated sources (multiple sources) and do what YOU feel is right.”

Ask yourself if vaccines are regarded as safe, then why does a vaccine injury court exist? Why are pharmaceutical companies protected to where they can’t get sued. Do you know that our tax payer dollars go toward these injury lawsuits? Not anything else. In 2016, over 125 million dollars have gone toward vaccine injury cases in court (in 2015, almost 225 million). Since 1990, almost 3.4 BILLION dollars of our tax payers’ money have gone toward vaccine injuries. Something is wrong here. These are just the cases that have been reported. There are also many cases that go dismissed because there simply is just not enough funds to be rewarded to these families. Something has got to give.

Other statistics to lay out on the table for you to ponder…

In the 1980s, autism rates were 1 in 10,000. In 2007, 1 in 150. Now, 1 in 45. By 2032, 50% of the population will be diagnosed with autism, with 80% of that being boys if something doesn’t change and we continue this psychotic pattern. We CAN prevent that, but we must REEVALUATE and ask WHY. Is it a coincidence that the number of vaccines given now compared to the 1980s has tripled? Let’s say the efficacy of vaccines was there. The idea of vaccines’ purpose is wonderful….the safety, wayyyy below par to say the least. It’s bad enough we are exposed daily to toxins in the environment and through our diet, much less add to it multiple, multiple injections filled with various toxins. We MUST question. We MUST demand change. 

“By 2032, 50% of the population will be diagnosed with autism, with 80% of that being boys.”

With all this said (I know it was a lot to undertake)… The point of this is not to create discouragement and diminish hope. It is to inspire curiosity and education. To motivate and to take better care of ourselves. To become the greatest health advocates we can be. To help realize there is more than one option, there are multiple. Seek medical advice, seek peer advice (the right kind), breakdown statistics provided, search for the source rather than the superficial problem at hand, eat right, exercise, rest, relax, find balance, pray, and most of all find peace and hope in knowing that change can happen for the good…one person at a time. You can create change, BE THE CHANGE.
