The blind risks of vaccination and the autism connection

vaccine baby
The rates of autism in Canada have skyrocketed over the last 10 years, as the prevalence of autism has increased 100%. It is the fastest-growing, most commonly diagnosed neurological disorder in Canada. The latest official research on autism has narrowed down the cause to both environmental and genetic mutation factors. The core question is, what is causing the influx of autism in our children?

Is it the vaccinations, the glyphosate in GMO's or the processed goods and adulterated foods? If it is one of these things, why are they being allowed to continue?

The BC Centre for Disease Control recently found that the more flu vaccinations one has received over a lifetime, the less protection one has for subsequent flu seasons. In the study, researchers found that those who received flu vaccinations in 2012, 2013, and 2014 were more susceptible to new strains of flu.

Some doctors and scientists have expressed skepticism about vaccines, as well. Dr. Suzanne Humphries, who is board certified in Nephrology and also trained in Internal Medicine, came to the following conclusion: "My position is that vaccines are not guaranteed to be safe, that ongoing production problems do exist, that foreign animal DNA, and chemicals are in the vaccines, which don't reliably protect. The public is given a false sense of security over the safety and efficacy of vaccination. There is no literature on the safety of vaccinating the kinds of sick people I tried to protect."

Time to 'just say no' to legal drugs

legal drugs
They're dangerous, even deadly, but hugely profitable. Big Pharma has bought politicians and doctors. Only the American public can stop it by refusing the product.

Most people are understandably afraid to say no. They don't know enough about medicine. We understand. We aren't doctors and never offer medical advice. But the Internet has put most medical research at your doorstep, including information about drug side effects and risks. And there are integrative doctors who can offer sound advice on the subject.

Are we as a society addicted to legal drugs? Are we also wasting huge amounts of money on substances that all too often offer more harm than benefit? Let's consider these numbers:
  • 60% of Americans take one or more prescription drugs.
  • 15% of Americans take five or more prescription drugs. Some, many more. There are no studies on the interaction of all these drugs.
  • 10% of Americans take an antidepressant medication; for women in their 40s and 50s, it's 25%.
  • 25% of Americans over the age of 45 take a statin drug, despite much evidence of harm, including promoting diabetes.
  • Doctors write about 6 million prescriptions for proton-pump inhibitors (a class of acid blocking drugs) each year, making these drugs the third highest selling class of drugs on the market. This is happening although logic and evidence suggest that most people, especially older people, suffer from too little stomach acid, not too much.

Podesta email leak reveals dangers of aspartame

artificial sweeteners dangerous
Artificial sweeteners such as aspartame are typically used to sweeten so-called "diet" foods and beverages in lieu of sugar or high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). The idea is that reducing your calorie consumption will result in weight loss. However, research has completely demolished this notion, showing that artificial sweeteners actually have the converse effect; they actually lower appetite suppressant chemicals and encourage sugar cravings and sugar dependence, thereby raising your odds of unwanted weight gain.(1,2)

Research has repeatedly shown that artificial sweeteners promote insulin resistance and related health problems just like regular sugar does, including(3,4,5) cardiovascular disease, stroke(6,7) and Alzheimer's disease. While poor diet is a major driver of Alzheimer's in general (the primary culprits being sugar/fructose and grains, especially gluten), the key mechanism of harm here appears to be methanol toxicity — a much-ignored problem associated with aspartame in particular. In a previous interview, toxicology expert Woodrow Monte, Ph.D., (author of the book While Science Sleeps: A Sweetener Kills(8) explains the links between aspartame and methanol toxicity and the formation of toxic formaldehyde.

Sugar: A major culprit in the increasing risk for Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimers disease
It is hard to comprehend the degree of damage perpetrated by sugar, one of the most wildly popular and ubiquitous ingredients in the typical Western diet. Consumption of sugar has already been identified as a leading risk factor in obesity, tooth decay, fatty liver disease, insulin resistance leading to diabetes and the metabolic syndrome, cancer, and heart disease.1 It has been likened to any other addictive substance in its effects on the brain and its manipulation of dopamine and serotonin levels.2 Sugar has also been linked to an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.3

Researchers report that a higher percentage of added sugar in the diet increases the risk of dying from heart disease, even when taking into consideration such confounding factors as age, body mass index, gender, degree of physical activity, or an otherwise healthy diet.4 The provocative factor appears to be sugar's effect on insulin resistance: Sugar generates a spike in insulin levels, which over time damages the epithelial lining of blood vessels and leads to stiffening of the vessel walls that creates a hospitable environment for many known cardiac risk factors.5 A similar mechanism seems to drive the increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.

Young blood the elixir of life? Paypal founder 'obsessed with defying death', considers blood transfusions from youths

Billionaire PayPal founder Peter Thiel said that he believes transfusions of blood from young people can reverse his aging process and allow him to live a vastly extended lifespan.

In an interview with Inc.com's Jeff Bercovici, Thiel said that the practice — known as parabiosis — is the closest modern science has come to creating an anti-aging panacea.

Thiel — a hedge funder who acted as a delegate for Donald Trump and spoke at the 2016 Republican National Convention — is reportedly obsessed with defying death and extending the human lifespan. He has injected funds into startups that are experimenting with ways to forestall the body's inevitable decline and death.

"I'm looking into parabiosis stuff," Thiel told Bercovici, "where they [injected] the young blood into older mice and they found that had a massive rejuvenating effect. ... I think there are a lot of these things that have been strangely underexplored."

Aluminum adjuvants - only approved as part of vaccine 'preparations'

aluminium adjuvants
Within the first year of life, the CDC recommends that children receive a total of 29 vaccinations, many of which contain the adjuvant aluminum, a substance used in vaccinations to increase the immune response to the antigen (the component of the vaccine that stimulates the immune system to make antibodies). [1]

According to Professor Christopher Exley's recent research, there are currently two main aluminum adjuvants commonly used in vaccinations today. These are AlHydrogel, a semi-crystalline (boehmite) form of aluminium oxyhydroxide and AdjuPhos, an amorphous salt of aluminium hydroxyphosphate. The sulphate salt of the latter is also listed as being one component of an adjuvant system used in vaccinations against HPV. AlHydrogel and AdjuPhos are commonly referred to as clinically-approved aluminum adjuvants, and yet this is not the case.

There are no aluminum adjuvants that have been approved for intramuscular or subcutaneous injection into humans. There are no requirements for their approval; they are only "approved" as part of vaccine preparations.

His words are extremely worrying, especially when you consider just how many vaccinations on the childhood vaccination schedule contain the adjuvant aluminum as an ingredient.

Comment: More on the evils of aluminum in vaccines:
"Aluminum is an experimentally demonstrated neurotoxin and the most commonly used vaccine adjuvant. Despite almost 90 years of widespread use of aluminum adjuvants, medical science's medical understanding of their mechanisms of action is still remarkably poor. There is also a concerning scarcity of data on toxicology and pharmacokinetics of these compounds. In spite of this, the notion that aluminum in vaccines is safe appears to be widely accepted."- Dr Chris Shaw (source)

Is your high-tech ride making you sick?

car technology
Years ago the "new car smell" was found to cause people to experience a sick feeling. The odor that causes the new car smell is made up of volatile organic compounds and other toxic chemicals from glues, paints, vinyl and plastics inside new cars. Those 'gas out fumes' can cause headaches, sore throats, nausea and drowsiness—some folks even can experience dizziness or lethargy.
Probably the most recent of these studies was conducted in February of 2012 by a non-profit group called the Ecology Center. Their "Model Year 2011/2012 Guide to New Vehicles" (which you can download in PDF format here) is unequivocal on the issue: '[T]hese chemicals [in new car smell] can be harmful when inhaled or ingested and may lead to severe health impacts such as birth defects, learning disabilities and cancer. Since the average American spends more than 1.5 hours in a car every day, toxic chemical exposure inside vehicles is becoming a major source of potential indoor air pollution'. [1]
Fast forward to the newer cars with all their electronic technology, which apparently emits electromagnetic frequencies, and we find that new car occupants experience equally-distressing symptoms such as vertigo, nausea, headaches and migraines—those 'killer-type' headaches.

Insidious contamination: US Military plans to dump 20,000 tons of heavy metals & explosives into the oceans

Navy contamination
© Photo: Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Ricardo R. Guzman / US NavyUS Navy forces engage in maneuver training in the Philippine Sea, November 28, 2013. The massive amount of heavy metals and highly toxic compounds the Navy introduces into the environment will not be cleaned up by the Navy, nor will the Navy contribute to medical tests for people whose health may suffer.
The US Navy has been conducting war-game exercises in US waters for decades, and in the process, it has left behind tons of bombs, heavy metals, missiles, sonar buoys, high explosives and depleted uranium munitions that are extremely harmful to both humans and marine life.

Truthout recently reported that the Navy has admitted to releasing chemicals into the oceans that are known to injure infants' brains, as well as having left large amounts of depleted uranium in US coastal waters. Now, the Navy's own documents reveal that it also plans to use 20,000 tons of heavy metals, plastics and other highly toxic compounds over the next two decades in the oceans where it conducts its war games.

According to the Navy's 2015 Northwest Training and Testing environmental impact statement (EIS), in the thousands of warfare "testing and training events" it conducts each year, 200,000 "stressors" from the use of missiles, torpedoes, guns and other explosive firings in US waters happen biennially. These "stressors," along with drones, vessels, aircraft, shells, batteries, electronic components and anti-corrosion compounds that coat external metal surfaces are the vehicles by which the Navy will be introducing heavy metals and highly toxic compounds into the environment.

Placebos work as well as drugs for migraines

migraines
© AllTreatment.com
Migraines affect 38 million men, women and children in the U.S. every year.1 They are much more than simply bad headaches, but rather are a neurological disorder, considered to be one of the more common disorders of the nervous system.2

Migraine headaches in children may also include abdominal pain and mood changes.3 Concurrent symptoms of migraines that are common to both adults and children include visual disturbances, nausea, vomiting, dizziness and sensitivity to sound, light, touch and smell.

Migraine headaches are considered a vascular event as the migraine triggers changes to the size of the arteries both inside and outside the skull.4 Eighty percent of people who suffer from migraines have a family history of them.

While the exact cause of migraines is unknown, researchers have identified specific chemical compounds that may trigger migraines, and others that may help prevent them.
