Green the Vaccines Rally

Today was the "Green the Vaccines, Too many Too soon" rally in DC. I'm more then sad that I wasn't able to attend and be a voice for my sweet boy JoJo. Since I wasn't able to be in DC my blog will have to do. Below are some videos from the rally. I hope we all raise our voice and be heard. Our Children deserve us to fight for them!

Celeb Couple to Lead 'Green Vaccine' Rally

Love them!

I really loved this lady and what she had to say.

Here is the first part of Jim Carry's speech. The video quality is really poor but you can hear the speech which is awesome!

MMR

Here is a graph of when the MMR was introduced and the rise in autism. Also right around the 1990's is when they began the new schedule and increased the immunizations. There has been a 6,000% increase in autism since the 1990's.

Go Green!

I hope everyone was able to see the Oprah show today. It has some really helpful things that we all can all do to keep us and our children safe from all the toxins that are out there and also help our Earth. I really feel that Heavenly Father depends on us Mothers to protect our children and also our own bodies from harm. And out of respect to God I feel like we should all do our part in respecting the Earth that he created.
I loved this segment with Julia Robert and Sophie Uliano's and totally want to go buy her book, Gorgeously Green. She talked a lot about buying organic to help reduce the toxins and pesticides in our food. I think the best way to do that is to start our own garden. My Dad just started one and I can't wait to be able to partake. This way we know exactly what we are putting in our food. Also to be aware of the things we put on our bodies some of them are full of chemicals. One hint they said if you can't pronounce it, it's probably not a good idea to use. They also talked about a great way to prevent waste and help out your own garden. Go to Oprah.com and read all about it. They also had a great concoction for cleaning our food which I can't wait to try out.

Sophie Uliano's Veggie Cleaner Spray

1 cup water
1 cup distilled white vinegar
1 Tbsp. baking soda
20 drops of grapefruit seed extract Combine all ingredients in a large container. Then, transfer to a spray bottle with a pump. Spray mixture on produce, and rinse thoroughly after 5 to 10 minutes.

I loved Sandie's bit too. I loved the all organic cleaning spray . I'm so going to do that. I've been buying Method but this sounds better and way cheaper.

Recipe for a great streak-free windows..

-3 tablespoons of vinegar

-1/3 of a teaspoon of pure liquid vegetable soap

-2 cups of water

Mix it up in a spray bottle and as Sandra would say it cleans your windows like crazy!

Does any one know of a good water bottle that isn't made out of plastic?

And most importantly if anything needs to get GREEN its the vaccines. Jim Carry is heading the rally in DC on June 4 to demand that they clean up the vaccines. I feel like this should be highest on the list of first priorities in the Green movement. Go to your legislature and demand that we clean up our vaccines. We need to make sure what we are injecting into our precious little ones are safe and not full of all the junk they put in them. I know I need to get a life but I can't help it. Go GREEN!!!

Here is a website to go and see what vaccines still have thimerosal/ mercury. http://www.fda.gov/cber/vaccine/thimerosal.htm#t3

*Also the only way to know for sure they are thimersoal free from your Doctor's office is to read the insert box, vial yourself.

*Make sure to be %100 positive before getting the shots.

A correction. Hep B can be spread by Blood. Example: Sharing needles, Blood transfusions, and sex. Still I don't feel that our newborns are at risk for this, unless the Mom's are positive.

Vaccines

Please everyone read this article by Donald Miller, MD you can find it at http://www.generationrescue.org/pdf/user_friendly.pdf

Here is the a safer vaccination schedule I received from Stephanie Cave, MD the author of What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Children's Vaccinations. I don't personally like this schedule I think they start to soon, but for those you are anxious to get your kids vaccinated this is a safer one.

Vaccine Schedule
- Birth- Hep B (ONLY if mom is positive. This vaccine is very unnecessary unless your child is going to be sexually active at birth )
-4 months - Hib, IPV
-5 months--DTaP
-6 months--Hib, IPV
-7 months--DTap
-8 months--Hib
-9 months--DTaP
-15 months--Measles
-17 months--Hib, IPV
-18 months-- DTap
-27 months- Rubella
-24 moths Pneumovax
-30 Months-- Mumps
-4-5 years Varicella (chicken pox) This one is really unnecessary too, and always check the child to see if he/she is already immune to it.
-4-5 years Hep B series, again this is for sexual active people

Here is the schedule that I like... This recommendation was written by Donald Miller, MD who is cardiac surgeon and Professor of Surgery at the University of Washington in Seattle and one of the members of the Doctors for disasters preparedness. Here is the link to the article that he wrote I hope everyone will read. It is well worth your time. http://www.generationrescue.org/pdf/user_friendly.pdf

1. No vaccinations until a child is 2 years old

2. No vaccines that contain thimersol(mercury)
3.No live virus vaccines (except for small pox if it should reoccur)
4. These vaccines, to be given one at a time, every 6 months beginning at age 2
*Pertussis
*Diphtheria
*Tetanus
*Polio

Did you Know....
* we give the same amount of a vaccine to a newborn that we would give to a full size adult. One size fits all is ridiculous. Why do we have to give different amounts of medicine for different ages but when it comes to vaccines it doesn't matter??????

*The Flu vaccines still have a full dose of mercury in it. I find it interesting that Doctors encourage us to get the flu vaccine while we are pregnant but discourage us to eat fish while pregnant to prevent us getting any mercury. Does that make sense???
* Children who delay vaccinations by 2 months cut their risk of asthma by ½ according to (Kozyrskyj, University of Manitoba)

* What are in the vaccines???(Mercury, Aluminum, viruses, bacteria, formaldehyde, MSG, HCL, Antibiotics, Human, Cow, Chicken, Guinea Pig, Monkey tissue/serum, Yeast, and Egg)

* The current schedule requires 36 vaccines by the time a child is 6 and the majority are given to the children by the age of 15 months compared to 1983 when children received 10 vaccines in the same time period.

*7 Vaccines injected into a 13lb two month old infant is equivalent to 70 doses in a 130 lb adult.


*50 years ago when immunization schedule contained only 4 vaccines, autism was virtually unknown

* Type 1 diabetes went from 1 in 7,100 children in the 1950's to now 1 in 480

* The CDC has not done any long term studies to see if vaccine schedule is safe


* US government has paid out more then $11.5 billion in vaccine injury compensation

FYI

Hannah Poling Case: Government Concedes that Vaccines causes her autism. Here is a link to a article about the case. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-kirby/government-concedes-vacci_b_88323.html By the way Hannah's father is a Doctor and graduated from John Hopkins medical school.

Here are some tips I found on taca.orgs website. (talk about curing autism)

1. Do not vaccinate newborns. When you are ready to vaccinate – check into a slower vaccination schedule that may work for your family, address your concerns, and achieve public health policy slowly.
2. Avoid re-immunization with a vaccine after a previous bad reaction.
3. NEVER vaccinate ill children or children recovering from an infection.
4. Space vaccines - do not give multiple vaccines in 1 day.(THAT INCLUDES single vaccine doses that have multiple viruses! Split them up!)
5. Use single-dose vials from which to draw up the vaccines as opposed to multiple-dose vials which provide less uniform dosage.
6. Use inactivated polio. (the shot, not the drops)
7. Give RDA (Recommended Daily Allowances) of Vitamin C before and after vaccines
8. Give a natural form of Vitamin A ( cod liver oil ) to keep RDA's at level at all times for the age.
9. Separate the MMR into 3 doses: start with measles at 12-15 months, then mumps at 18-21 months, rubella at 24-27 months.
10. Do not give live virus vaccines to immunodeficient children.
11. Do not give vaccines if allergic to any of these components:i. Yeast - Hep B ii. Eggs - MMR iii. Neonycian - MMR or Varicella
12. Hold off on the Varicella until 10-12 years and if the child is shown not immunity to Chicken pox.
13. Check vaccine titers before giving boosters (Most people are immune after one dose. We continue to get multiple doses that MAY NOT BE NEEDED. Have them check antibody levels via titres blood test.)

OK, guys I'm done. I know I went on and on and probably bored a lot of you. But I beg you to research and study and do what YOU feel is right for your child. If your Doctor does not agree and threatens to kick you out if you do not go by their schedule it's time to find a new Doctor. Don't let them bully you. You are in control to what happens to your child, they do not have the intuition that us Mothers have which I believe is stronger then anything in this world. I feel if we always went by what we felt was right & listened to our inner voice/ Spirit we would be right on. Listen to that voice and don't let me or anyone else persuade you otherwise.

My New Favorite Person!

Things I have in common with Jenny MacCarthy

1. Both gained 70 + pounds with our first child

2. Both have a son with Autism

3. Both talk way to much and are loud mouths

4. I'm pretty sure we are both fake blondes

5. Both have been on Weight Watchers

I'm pretty sure she wants to be my new BBF

Jenny MacCarthy is officially my new favorite person! Seriously you guys I hope all of you were able to watch Oprah today it was AWESOME!!! I have always liked Jenny, since she gained like 70 + pounds too when she was prego but now I just love her. On the Oprah show she talked about her son who was diagnosed with autism. I think the reason I liked the show so much was because I felt so much the same like her when Joseph was diagnosed. I felt as if my world was over I had no idea how to recover. Let me tell ya it took a while and I'm pretty sure I will never be over it but I know like she did that my Joseph was still in there and I know someday and somehow he will come out. We have to do all we can in all are power and the Lord will make up for the rest. I love Jenny's story because she was not about to say defeat, she was up for the battle. I loved Holly Robinson's story too she was awesome.

I loved, loved, loved what she had to say about immunizations. I so feel the same. I know that immunizations have a purpose and that they are good and have saved many people's lives but like many things we over indulge and think the more the better and that is not always the case. The list of immunizations they give your baby is shocking. I hate people who are so one way and can not see the other side. I hate being looked down upon that I have chosen now, not to give my kids immunizations until they are older and we know more about them. I'm not a bad Mother for not giving them their shots, nor do if feel Mom's that give their children shots are bad. We are all just trying to to what is best. I do wish that Dr's would stop telling us that shots don't cause autism since that has never been refuted and the truth is they DO NOT KNOW. I don't blame Joseph's autism on the shots, but I do feel like it contributed. I do wish that Dr's would listen to us parents and stop thinking they know everything. I'm thankful for Doctors and all that they do but come on a few more years of school does not make you the know all! (Todd is going to hate me since he is thinking of going to Med school)

I tried the gluten free no dairy diet last year and was defeated but I feel new strength after watching Jenny. I'm going to give it a try again. Any ideas on gluten free dairy free things please let know.

OK, So sorry you had to listen to me go on and on. I'm just really grateful for the fight that Jenny MacCarthy put up for her child.

OK so I just went on a rant so so so sorry! I guess I just loved Jenny and Holly Robinson's story of hope. I'm not about to throw in the towel. Joseph has a purpose that I am SURE of.
