Wonderfully Made on THL

If you are a homeschooler and you don't vaccinate, selectively vaccinate, or are seeking information. I suggest you join The Homeschool Lounge and then join my group "Wonderfully Made." It promises to be a great forum for information and I will be sharing things here, too.

Newborn Procedures

Vitamin K

We dealt with this issue with the last 3 children. My midwife didn't want to influence us either way, but I felt she was kind of reserved on the issue (against it). I had a hospital birth with a midwife with baby #5 in 2004. We didn't do the vitamin K with the last 3 children. Babies #6 (Eden) and #7 (Joshua) were c-sections. This article states that the risk of brain bleeding due to lack of vitamin K is 5 out of 100,000. That's .00005 percent!

Eye Ointment

This ointment is routinely applied to newborns to prevent complications due to std's--specifically chlamydia, syphilis and gonorrhea. The concern is a bacterial infection of the eye that may lead to blindness. Most likely, you don't have any of these std's, so this is not an issue for you. I will say this, I have Group B Strep during my pregnancies, so we did decide to do the ointment for my 5th baby who was born naturally, BUT we delayed for a bit so he could bond with me. If I had to do it over again, I would refuse it. My 2 C-section babies did not have it.

Here is an article regarding the eye ointment.

Our hospital was willing to work with us and our midwife and my OB have been very supportive of our right to choose. However, if I were dealing with a different situation, I would draw up papers stating my objection to the vitamin K shot, prophylactic eye drops, etc. and have them notarized. It would show them you are serious when you show up with that paper. Your husband should go with the baby if he/she is removed from your room after birth for any reason to make sure the medical staff upholds your wishes. Also, discuss your desires with your pediatrician before the birth.

28 young women have DIED from this vaccine. When is it going to be enough?

HPV in the news

Here is a link to information regarding the side effects of the HPV vaccine. 27 deaths is appalling...and they are trying to cite other causes. That's just a little too many for comfort. Check it out!

JRA

JRA stands for Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. In order to make this compact I will not go into too much detail. In short, my 17 year old daughter was diagnosed with it at the ripe age of 3. At around age 14 she began a remission. She went off the dreaded methotrexate she had been on for years. Some children "outgrow" it. I was hopeful she was one of them. Last summer she got a tetanus booster. (This is the ONE we do get.) I was told it was fine by her rheumatologist. Ever since then she has been complaining of aches and pains off and on. Well, by this summer she is in full blown active phase again. It could be coincidence that this happened following the tetanus shot. I'll never truly know... (She had a flare after her MMR booster at age 5, too. This is back when I wasn't armed with what I know now about vaccines.) Currently, she is taking methotrexate and naproxyn. Three days a week she is so sick to her stomach that she occasionally has dry heaves in the morning, she can hardly eat, and fights nausea. We're seeing our doctor here at home this coming week. If you think of it. Please pray for her. I know God is greater than this disease! (I think I've learned a valuable lesson, too.)

Saying No to Vaccines

I recently found this information thanks to some helpful MOMYS. I will be purchasing the book Saying No to Vaccines: A Resource Guide for All Ages by Sherri Tenpenny in order to review this additional information on the vaccine issue. Dr. Tenpenny's website is very informative. There is a WEALTH of information on vaccines. I especially liked all the info on the HPV vaccine.

White Lies

I referenced earlier in this blog about a book that was sent to me by the author. Sarah Honenburger wrote White Lies. The goal of this book is to raise awareness of vaccination injury. It is a very interesting read and I really enjoyed it. If you are interested in purchasing a copy of this book go here to purchase it. Please visit her website for more information.

For those who like to selectively vaccinate here is a user-friendly vaccination schedule.

How vaccines can harm your brain

Here is a link to an article written by a well-known neurologist. It is lengthy and technical, but in gathering information on vaccines, I believe it should not be overlooked. This gives us a glimpse of the effects of vaccines later in life. Please share this with people over 50 who receive the flu shot, too! It shocks me to think that there are posters up at my OB's office pushing the flu shot on pregnant women.

Chicken Pox Vaccine

Here is an article about the rise of the occurrence of chicken pox in vaccinated children in TX. This isn't just happening there, folks. The danger of this vaccine is adult onset of the disease which is much more serious. Requiring booster shots is foolish. A real case of the disease would give life-long immunity, not just possible temporary protection. In addition, there has been a rise of shingles in small children who have been vaccinated. This is a vaccine of convenience. In the long run it is not a good choice for the health of our children.

Book Review Coming Soon!

I am reading this book and will post a review very soon! The author, Sarah Honenberger, kindly sent me a copy.

HPV Vaccine Dangers

The following is an email update I received from PROVE. It is long. There was no way I could post a link to it, but it is VERY IMPORTANT for you to have this information, so I put it up anyway.

[PROVE Note: Judicial Watch recently reported that through several Freedom of Information Act requests, they have discovered 3,461 adverse reactions including eleven deaths reported to the FDA and CDC's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System for the HPV vaccine. You can read Judicial Watch's report and documents at the link posted below.
Additionally, I'm including two recent articles on two different HEALTHY ALTHLETIC teenage girls becoming very seriously injured by the HPV vaccine. We'd like people to think about the fact that this is the same vaccine that is being pushed for mandates by misinformed or conflict-of-interest ridden legislators around the country.
As political races continue to heat up, be aware of the candidates from the presidential level down to your county officials and where they feel the government's role should be in health care. Experience shows that the more control the government has over your health care, the less freedom you will have, period. Don't forget that WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS - our FDA approved the HPV vaccine, our Congress gave the vaccine maker liability protection from the harm caused by this vaccine, and some of our state legislators and governors have tried to FORCE this vaccine on our young daughters. Look at these articles and ask yourself how much more you want the government deciding for you what you must do to be healthy. Find some candidates you beleive in and help them. Our lives depend on it. - DR]

Mom Says HPV Vaccine Caused Paralysis in 12-Year-Old

Teen falls ill after vaccine injection

LAWRENCE, Kan. - A Lawrence couple is furious over a new government-approved vaccine designed to prevent a type of cancer. They say it almost killed their daughter and significantly altered her life.
15-year-old Marissa Omon is an athlete. The daughter of a Nigerian soccer player she played basketball, volleyball and track, until now.
Surgeons put a defibrillator inside her chest Monday night fearing her heart could stop at any moment.
"HPV cost my daughter. It almost cost her her life," said Edem Omon.
Edem Omon is convinced his healthy, athletic teenage daughter Miranda almost died because of a vaccine doctors gave her to prevent cervical cancer.
Three weeks ago Miranda took a physical. Edem said he reluctantly allowed a doctor to give her the HPV vaccine.
"He convinc ed me the drug was safe," said Edem.
Less than three hours later, while practicing basketball at Free State High School, Miranda suddenly collapsed. Her heart stopped. Paramedics needed a defibrillator to revive her. Miranda was rushed to Children's Mercy where she spent several days unable to walk or talk.
Doctors ran a battery of tests, CT scans, x-rays and biopsies. They could find no explanation for Miranda's sudden heart problem.
They say they do not believe the HPV vaccine has anything to do with it.
"I do believe it's safe," said Dr. Scott Dattel.
Dattel is not Miranda's doctor but said he's never heard of any major side effects caused by HPV, only soreness and fever.
"HPV vaccine was thoroughly tested before the FDA approved it and I do think for that reason it is safe," said Dattel.
Miranda is still in Children's Mercy. If all goes well she could go home this week but doctors will not allow her to play competitive sports that she loves.

Why is childhood arthritis on the rise?

Several months ago I began receiving a newsletter from a group called PROVE--Parents Requesting Open Vaccine Education. They are based out of Texas and I have received many wonderful updates from them. This article on childhood arthritis really hit home. As you know, my oldest daughter was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, JRA, at age 3. Dr. Tenpenny helped me understand what had happened to my sweet little girl. Celeste, my daughter, does have a genetic propensity to the disease as her paternal grandmother has it, also.

Book Recommendation

I wanted to recommend an excellent book on taking care of your child's health. In chapter 14, Dr. Wootan talks about immunizations and childhood diseases. It really put me at ease about not vaccinating my two youngest children. The only vaccine he recommended is tetanus. The book is called Take Charge of Your Child's Health by George Wootan, M.D.

The first book I ever read on the subject of not vaccinating your child was Vaccinations: Deception and Tragedy by Michael Dye. It explains how God designed our immune systems to work and is truly a fascinating read. I read this book while I was trying to research non medical methods of handling 2 health problems. I was suffering from many migraine headaches and my daughter was having a terrible flare-up of her juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. We learned a lot about healthy eating from Hallelujah Acres, but alas, we are not vegetarians.
