Traditional talk therapy can be very beneficial for a lot of people. Talking with a licensed professional helps people come to realizations and they can make major breakthroughs. Unfortunately, it isn’t easy for everyone to verbally communicate feelings. In fact, a lot of people struggle to say how they feel when sitting across from a therapist. It’s also possible that the feelings or traumatic experience you want to talk about are buried deep down, and talking about it can seem impossible. 

In all these cases, and many more, art therapy can serve as an alternative therapeutic way to process emotions. Art is a healing medium and it can be quite liberating and therapeutic, even outside an art therapy session. Scribbling, painting, or sculpting can help people release stress or tense emotions. 

What Is Art Therapy?

Art therapy is a practice that uses art as a tool to promote healing. An art therapy session gives you the chance to express their feelings and experiences in a physical way. Expressing an emotion through artistic qualities can be a lot easier than describing it verbally. Language processing, emotional processing, and creative thinking all involve different areas of the brain. What art therapy aims to do is integrate these areas to help bridge the gaps between these processes. Many art therapists agree that this process leads to a more holistic and intuitive outcome. 

It is far different from taking an art class because an art class focuses on technique. In an art therapy session, the therapist asks minimal questions while the client creates art in their presence. The therapist uses the time to observe the creation of the client’s art and what their body language is while making the art. The colors, intensity of the piece, and more all communicate things to the therapist, all without a lot of verbal communication. Continue reading to learn about some potential benefits of art therapy. 

It May Build Self-Esteem

Authors of a 2019 report noted that participating in expressive art activities may help build self-acceptance, confidence, and self-esteem. These types of interventions may help people with chronic illness, as it helps them process complex or difficult thoughts/emotions about their experiences and/or conditions. Other research notes that art therapy focuses on promoting self-expression to gain a sense of personal independence and self-sufficiency. Art can help you understand what matters to you!

It May Reduce Stress

The act of creating something can be very therapeutic and it can help you release built-up tension in the body. One systematic review, which included 37 studies, found that 81% of participants in the reviewed studies reported significant reductions in stress via creative art interventions. A smaller study found that 45 minutes of art-making (collaging, using modeling clay, or drawing) helped reduce cortisol levels in 75% of participants. Participants also noted that the art session made them want to make more art. 

It May Improve Behavior In Autistic Children

According to several studies, art therapy may be an effective form of healing that can aid children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A 2022 review included 15 studies that monitored children with autism between ages three and 16. The review concluded that art intervention, like drawing and painting, helped them express themselves and improve social learning. Additionally, a small study followed 40 children (ages six to 12) with ASD in Iran. After 12 sessions of art therapy, children showed more adaptive behaviors and emotions, improved social interactions, and an increased ability to share their feelings. 

It May Improve Symptoms Of Anxiety And Depression

One of the best ways to work through your depression or anxiety is to create art. You just let your emotions flow through you without ever needing to say a word. A small randomized controlled trial monitored elderly women with major depressive disorder. The group that participated in 20 weekly art therapy group sessions reported improvements in their depression and anxiety symptoms. Experts purport that making art helps participants cope with stressful events and express themselves in accessible ways. A systematic review of 413 studies concluded that art therapy was effective for helping patients with mental health disorders open up and share their feelings. 

It May Help People With PTSD

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a condition that develops in some people who experienced scary, shocking, or dangerous events. One small study consisted of 11 combat veterans with PTSD. Findings indicated that art therapy, in conjunction with cognitive processing therapy (CPT), enhanced trauma recall and increased access to emotions. Additionally, researchers from this trial noted non-verbal therapeutic tools, such as art therapy, potentially allowed for deeper emotional processing. The veterans who participated in art therapy were either able to recover blocked memories or gain crucial realizations that helped them move forward.

World Autism Day, which occurs annually on April 2^nd, kicks off Autism Awareness Month, which aims to spread awareness about Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). ASD refers to a broad range of conditions that are characterized by challenges with repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communications, and social skills. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 1 in 59 children in the United States are affected by autism.

Autism Awareness Month

The Autism Society was founded in 1965 and began to raise awareness in the early 1970s via nationwide campaigns. Every April since 1970 has celebrated the differences of those on the spectrum, and the intention has been to support and educate the public about autism. What most people don’t know about autism is that growing evidence supports that dietary intervention may be an effective treatment.

Medical experts conducted large-scale studies about altering gut health to reduce the symptoms of ASD. Caregivers have traditionally focused on rehabilitation, educational intervention, or medications, but dietary intervention may be a better and more affordable approach to manage symptoms. A review of 150 papers on ASD and gut bacteria found the links between composition of gut bacteria and autistic behavior. The growth of bad bacteria in the gut is largely attributed to diets rich in processed foods, refined sugars, gluten, meats, and dairy products. The build-up of bad bacteria can make the gut lining more permeable. Toxins can then get into the bloodstream and travel to the brain. Children under three years old are at the height of brain development, so the presence of these toxins in the brain may increase the risk of ASD.

Causes Of Imbalanced Gut Microbiota In Infants

Dr. Quinrui Li of Peking University, China, explains that the presence of bad bacteria in the gut is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Maternal obesity and diabetes during pregnancy, the overuse of antibiotics in babies, how a baby is delivered, and breastfeeding times can all factor into the development of ASD. Dr. Li’s review focused on restoring healthy gut bacteria via probiotics, prebiotics, and removing gluten and casein protein (found in dairy products) from diet. All of these had positive impact on ASD symptoms.

The Specific Carbohydrate Diet

Some children with ASD have experienced reduced symptoms after following the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, which restricts the consumption of all grains, dairy products, certain vegetables, and carbohydrates with more than one molecule. This diet was developed to treat gastrointestinal disorders like celiac disease and ulcerative colitis, but children with autism, many of whom experience digestive conditions, have benefited from it as well. The trick with this diet is understanding what foods contain all of these ingredients. Not all labels will list gluten or casein additives. For instance, canned tuna or salmon may contain casein that isn’t labeled. And it is important to be strict with this diet, meaning that you shouldn’t cave for special occasions. Food oriented holidays can be tricky, but you just have to find healthier substitutes because the wellbeing of the child is what matters most. A special occasion does not have to be gluten- or casein-oriented!

Each child is different, so a particular diet may work for one child and won’t work for the other. If you plan on changing a child’s diet, it’s all about starting slow and not jumping in too fast. It is best to slowly eliminate certain foods from the diet and replace them with healthier alternatives. Successful alternatives can make feeding time much easier.

Researchers are encouraged by the fact that improved gut health can potentially reduce ASD symptoms. Large scale studies need to be conducted to further support this preliminary evidence. For now, behavioral therapy remains a great option, but improving the gut microbiota may be a more effective treatment in the future.

The post Could Autism Be Improved By Targeting Gut Health? appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

Dr. Ahmed Zayed over at Consumer Health Digest recently published an article on how to boost your baby’s brain power in utero. As he explains, everything you do during pregnancy can have an effect on your baby’s development. And so, he created a list that new mamas can do to help their little one’s brains develop properly and fantastically.

We copied the list below and added some insight.

1. Consume Omega 3 Fatty Acids

Unfortunately, Omega 3 Fatty acids are most commonly found in seafood. If you are a vegetarian, consider loading up on flax seeds and walnuts to get this vital nutrient.

2. Keep stress in check

Studies have found that maternal stress can be passed to the baby, so as soon as you find out you’re pregnant, you have to control your stress. Meditation and Yoga are excellent ways to calm the body, but anything that soothes you will do.

3. Read to your baby before she’s born

Studies have shown that babies as young as a few days old have a preference for the language of their mothers and are able to hear the rhythm of their mother’s native language and differentiate it from that of other languages.

4. Get some sun

Vitamin D deficiency may play a role in the development of autism. While it’s important not to overdo your sun exposure, walking outside for 20 minutes a day is great way to ensure your baby’s getting the brain and bone supporting vitamin D she needs.

5. Eat a healthy diet

When building a person from scratch, you want to use the absolute best materials. Load up on fruits and vegetables as well as protein. When your baby’s overall health is strong, her brain will benefit as well.

6. Get massages

After 20 weeks, evidence suggests babies can feel the difference between their mother’s and father’s touch.

7. Get some exercise

Exercise is a great way to boost the baby’s brain development. Obviously, you don’t want to do an activity that’s too strenuous, but keeping moving while you bring your baby to term is an excellent plan.

There’s a lot of discussion and controversy around the childhood vaccine debate. The truth of the matter is that childhood vaccines can create significant side effects that can irreversibly change the child’s quality of life.

The best choice or decision to make is an informed one. But in order to make an informed choice or decision, parents need the proper or correct information.

Vaccines are made with ingredients known to create severe health problems including:

• formaldehyde (embalming fluid)
• aluminum phosphate
• sucrose (sugar)
• copper
• animal blood products
• viral protein particles
• egg residue
• thimerosal (a mercury-based preservative)
• polysorbate
• cadmium
• sodium chloride
• dairy by-products
• nitric acid
• sodium hydroxide
• ammonium sulfate
• glycerol
• phenoxyethanol (anti-freeze)

Known Side Effects

Some of the side effects of vaccines due to the the elements and substances listed above are:

• blood disorders
• auto-immune diseases
• cerebral palsy
• brain damage
• paralysis
• neurological impairment
• monkey fever
• Gullian-Barre-syndrome
• Autism
• mental retardation
• premature aging
• cancer (and leukemia)
• multiple sclerosis
• SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome)
• asthma and bronchitis
• malaise
• convulsions (epilepsy)
• seizure
• encephalopathy (degenerative disease of the brain)
• thrombocytopenia (inflammation of veins)
• Cochlear lesion (loss of function of the inner ear)
• brachial plexus neuropathies (nervous disease of the arms, nerves, and lymphatic)
• erytherma (morbid redness of the skin)
• shock episodes (excessive screaming)
• chronic melancholy (child never smiling or laughing)
• learning disabilities

Opt-Out Rights

It may be against someone’s religious or conscientious belief(s) to allow foreign substances into the human body of God; or to accept the blood of another being or creature into your body (as the Jehovah Witnesses believe). If vaccination calls for vaccines that include foreign substances (such as blood and inorganic metals), which is to be injected into a child’s body, this would no doubt violate First Amendment right to religious freedom and expression.

According to the National Vaccine Information Program, all 50 states allow parents to opt-out of vaccination for medical and religious reasons, but only 17 states allow parents to opt-out for philosophical reasons.

States that allow parents to opt-out for philosophical reason are:

• Arizona
• Arkansas
• California
• Colorado
• Idaho
• Louisiana
• Maine
• Michigan
• Minnesota
• North Dakota
• Ohio
• Oklahoma
• Texas
• Utah
• Vermont
• Washington
• Wisconsin

School Vaccination Programs

Statutory vaccination requirements cannot penetrate a person’s First, Fourth, and Fifth Amendment constitutional rights. In addition to vaccinations being statutory in nature, again, they are voluntary.

School vaccination programs to inoculate child and student are voluntary and all school children and students may be exempt due to certain reasons, i.e. immunization contrary to beliefs or conscience.

But because vaccinations are voluntary, governing statutes for vaccinations must offer an exemption from vaccination. Most exemptions are granted when the immunization is contrary to beliefs. The California statutes (Health and Safety Code) comports with the foregoing statement:

Again, you are told about exemptions from immunization via a letter or affidavit stating that immunization is contrary to your beliefs. It’s best to say religious and conscientious beliefs; and it is also best to do an affidavit signed under penalty of perjury and notarized by a notary public, or if a sovereign citizen, to have 2-3 witnesses sign the exemption letter.

Legal standing for the right NOT to vaccinate

Any one who inoculates a child with an immunizing agent or vaccine without parental knowledge and/or consent and/or against their will, has willfully violated the parents’ and child’s rights and can be sued in court for monetary compensation under federal law (Title 28 of the United States Code, Section 1983).

Natural Alternatives

Mother Nature offers alternatives to counter-act the side effects of vaccination serums. Herbs such as yellow dock, burdock root, dandelion, red clover, strawberry leave, chaparral, sheep sorrel, manjistha, celadine, Oregon grape, Echinacea, goldenseal, wild indigo, and red root will greatly cleanse your child’s blood and lymphatic system. Regardless of the skin disorder, these herbs will help to heal it.

The herbs mullein (leaves and flowers), yerba santa, and fenugreek will combat mucus in your child’s body.

If your child develops (manifests) a childhood disease from being vaccinated and you don’t want to use traditional Western medicine’s pharmaceutical drugs, there are alternatives.

To boost and strengthen the defense (immune) system, use: ginseng [red] (American, Chinese, or Korean); astragulus, elderberries, and calendula.

To combat diarrhea: work with the diarrhea by giving the child water to help flush the colon. After the diarrhea stops, give the child water with a teaspoon of sea salt (not table salt) in it to replace the sodium lost from diarrhea.

To combat fever: work with the fever by giving the child ginger, cinnamon, cloves, or cayenne or paprika (mild dosage only) in tea or extract form or let the herbs soak in hot water and allow to cool down to room temperature and give to the child to drink.

To combat constipation or help pass stools: give the child a combination of senna (pods or leaves) and peppermint leaves; or prune juice.

To combat coughing: work with the cough by giving the child herbs of wild cherry bark, blood root (very strong), boneset, elecampane, eucalyptus, lobelia, or cannabis in extract or tea form (add a little maple syrup and lemon).

To combat itching of the skin: soak the child in warm water with 4 ounces each of the herbs buck bean, celadine, calendula, and garlic (not 4 ounces, but maybe 4 cloves). It’s best to first run hot water and then add the herbs and let the water cool down and then let the child soak in the herbal mixture. EXTERNALLY, you can rub the child from shoulder to feet with cornstarch or arrowroot powder (mixed with essential oil of tea tree, lavender, and cedar), instead of baby powder (which is toxic).

To help the skin heal externally: you can use calendula gel or cream

To combat heavy metal poisoning (from the metals in the vaccine serum): give the child activated charcoal (1/2 teaspoon stirred well in a small cup of water), and/or liquid bentonite clay (1 teaspoon in a small glass of warm water).

Vaccinations for Travel

Why is it that if you travel to Africa and other countries that are populated by black or Original and Native peoples, you have to first be vaccinated before getting on the airplane? But if you go to countries in Europe that are populated by white people, you are not required to be vaccinated.

Many places and countries are crawling with serious infectious diseases, and one should be concerned about their health abroad or over seas, but vaccination is not the only answer.

Many people who travel to West Africa are concerned about malaria. Malaria is an infectious disease marked by cycles of chills, fever, and sweating, transmitted by the bite of an infected mosquito. One of the best herbs on earth to take for malaria (prevention and cure) is cinchona, also known as Peruvian bark. Cinchona (Cinchona calisaya) contains natural quinine, which suppresses cell enzymes and acts as a disinfectant in cases of malaria. Cinchona is also great for influenza and intermittent fevers. Cinchona can be enhanced by mixing it with cloves, yellow dock, and goldenseal. So if you want a natural preventive for malaria while traveling to Africa or Central or South American (or any place else), take some Cinchona (capsules). And also, vaccines required for airline travel are also voluntary.

Anti-parasite herbs (called vermifuge and anthelmintic) such as garlic, pink root, peach tree bark, tansy, southernwood, wormwood, male fern, quassia, epazote, betel nut, kutaj, olive leaf, and wormseed are also ideal for preventive measures when abroad. I have a Parasite and Worm formula that includes all of the herbs supra.

You can also make a natural insect repellant by using certain essential oils such as eucalyptus, lemon, lime, rosemary, thyme, cloves, tea tree, manuka, cedarwood, and ravensare, putting them in a base of water or oil (sweet almond, grapefruit, coconut, etc.).

You can add these alkaline oxygen drops to your water for protection. Any liquid oxygen product may do. Just make sure to bring a bottle with you over seas.

Some people like to think that children are like little bursts of energy that can run around without being harmed. In fact, a child’s body is just as toxic and polluted as an adult’s body. Even though children may have more energy, their diets can set them up for extreme failure later on in life. We are referring to an increased risk of obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.

The healthy development of a child begins in the mother’s womb. The developing baby is fed whatever the mother eats. If she eats unhealthy, processed foods or a lot of meat and dairy products, the baby will be exposed to those toxins. On the other side of the coin, a mother who eats a healthy diet that consists of nutritious plant-based foods will be supplying her baby with essential nutrients for development. Some babies are born with jaundice or hepatitis because of pharmaceutical drugs, synthetic vitamins, or other liver-damaging things that mothers consume while pregnant. The babies are then born with partially damaged livers.

The Standard American Diet Can Hurt a Baby’s Development

According to BabyCenter.com, roughly 70% of mothers breastfeed their infants at birth. By the time the baby is six months old, only 36% of mothers are still breastfeeding. At 12 months, only 17% of babies are breastfed. Babies who stop breastfeeding typically start drinking baby formula, which can contain harmful ingredients like lactose, iron oxide, or monodiglycerides, which is a pork derivative. These are not ingredients that human body thrives on. A baby who breastfeeds has a greater chance at building a healthy immune system.

When the child begins eating solid food, there is not always the hugest effort to ensure the baby is eating nutritious foods. A lot of people resort to buying commercial baby food, which can be filled with a lot of sugar. Rather than giving babies processed foods from the time they can eat something, try making them food with fresh ingredients and pureeing it. This helps to establish a healthy digestive system.

Other Toxic Sources

Baby and children’s medicines are drugs. The ingredients flood the baby’s body with toxins, and a child’s body may not be the strongest because of an immune system that isn’t fully developed. Whether you are using vitamins or hygiene products, you always have to take into account that you could be putting toxins into your child’s body. Even baby powder, which contains aluminum, and baby oil can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions. Some diapers or baby wipes are even bleached with chemicals that can irritate a baby’s bottom.

Vaccinations and immunizations can also harm a child’s body. Consider the ingredients: Mercury, Thimerisol, Sugar, chicken egg yolks, formaldehyde (embalming fluid), propylene glycol, and fifty-plus more harmful ingredients that can result in autism, smiling disorders, depression, partial paralysis, mental retardation, childhood diseases (chicken pox, measles, pneumonia, influenza, hepatitis, pertussis, etc.), and slow speech.

We don’t intend to scare you, but we want you to be mindful that there are toxins that can enter a child’s body in every corner of the world. This is why it can be beneficial to take part in some cleansing routines to keep a child’s body healthy.

The post Why Children Should Detox appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

Causes and Risk Factors

Epilepsy or seizures are caused by a surge in electrical signals or energy in the brain. This can be triggered by:

• Head trauma
• Genetic influences
• Medical disorders
• Certain diseases such as meningitis, AIDS and viral encephalitis
• Pre-natal injury
• Developmental disorders such as Down syndrome and autism

Risk factors include:

• Age-while epilepsy can happen at any age, it’s typically seen in younger years or at ages 65 or older
• Gender-men are more likely to experience seizures than women
• Head injuries
• Hormonal changes brought on by pregnancy, menopause or taking hormone-based medication such as thyroid meds, birth control or growth hormones
• Stroke or vascular disease
• Brain infections
• High childhood fevers

Symptoms

When consciousness is lost during a seizure, it is called “Grand mal seizure.” When consciousness is not lost during a seizure, it is called “Petit mal seizure.“

Seizures can display as:

• Temporary confusion
• Staring blankly
• Convulsion
• Jerking movementsLoss of awareness
• Loss of consciousness

Healing Options

Herbs great for healing epilepsy include all herbs that increase and enhance oxygen flow throughout the body, e.g., Gotu Kola, Gingko Biloba, Ginseng, Holy/Blessed Thistle, Black Walnut Hulls, and Green Tea. Additional herbs great for healing epilepsy include Jasmine Flower, Lady’s Slipper, Irish Moss, Cayenne, Ginger, Fo Ti, Jatamansi, Scullcap, European Mistletoe, Oatstraw, and Maca Maca.

One of the best remedies for epilepsy involves the use of crystals. When you compress two pieces of crystal (especially Clear Quartz crystal) together, the friction creates a form of electricity called piezoelectricity that causes the release of negative ions throughout the entire body that travel down to the feet and up to the crown of the head electrically fine-tuning the entire body, increasing oxygen flow, and stimulating cellular regeneration.

Crystals that aid in the prevention and healing of seizures include Lepidolite, Sugilite, Jet, Selenite, Kunzite, Malachite, and Emerald. Because epilepsy affects the nervous system located in the brain, epilepsy is a Seventh or Crown chakra deficiency and therefore, for purposes of healing epilepsy, crystals that are the same color of the Seventh chakra (violet and/or white) are best for this purpose.

Essential oils that aid in prevention and healing of seizures include Marjoram and Lavender. It is best that these oils be inhaled or burned in a diffuser.

Bach flower essences that aid in prevention and healing of seizures include Heather, Impatiens, and Water Violet.

Avoid stress, since this can create a change in body chemistry that could lead to a seizure.

Get plenty of sleep.

Do not drink alcohol, take drugs or smoke.

Dietary Intervention

Meat and dairy foods are bound to clog the arteries and obstruct oxygen and blood flow and thus a switch to a vegan and/or raw foods diet would be appropriate and beneficial in healing from epilepsy. Natural foods (fruits and vegetables) will automatically bring more oxygen into the body and unlike meat and dairy products will not clog the arteries due to arterial plaque and mucus buildup.

Water, fruit and/or vegetable juice, and herbal teas should be the drink of choice for purposes of healing from epilepsy.

A ketogenic diet may be beneficial. This type of diet forces the body to burn fat rather than carbohydrates. It is based in high-fat, adequate protein and low carbohydrate foods.

Dherbs Solutions

Dherbs.Com products that aid in the prevention and healing of seizures include:

• Full Body Cleanse
• Brain Booster
• Central Nervous System
• Nerves Formula
• Cardiovascular
• Circulation Aid
• Brain Booster Tea

The post Epilepsy (Seizures) appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

I never really thought twice about food coloring-and if I did, I thought how wonderful it was. Isn’t it great that you can make a green cake, decorate Easter eggs, customize treats for children, make play dough, etc.? It seemed as if every label I checked had some type of artificial colors in it, so that meant it was safe right? Unfortunately, the answer turned out to be a resounding NO!

Why was it that some members of my family reacted after eating foods that contained coloring? Was it my imagination? Was it something else in the food? What about other children whose parents shared the same concern? Why did one child become hyperactive while another broke out in a rash? These questions haunted me, and I needed to find answers.

When we approached our pediatrician, she mentioned that some parents believe there is a connection between artificial colors and behavior and illness, but there was absolutely no evidence to support that artificial food coloring was in any way responsible for either outcome. However, she also was not able to provide data supporting that it was not detrimental, so I decided to keep looking. Eventually I heard of Dr. Ben Feingold, purchased his books, and read about the link he had made between hyperactivity and artificial food coloring. A number of his patients improved or recovered by changing their diets, specifically eliminating salicylates and colorings. Dr. Feingold had quite a bit of data on salicylates, but what really intrigued me was the link between colors and hyperactivity – what exactly was in these artificial colors?

Background

Artificial food colorings were first introduced after World War II when the chemical industry met with the food industry regarding using chemical-based artificial colors since they were lower in cost than natural colors and had a longer shelf life. The safety of the colors was determined primarily from using LD-50 tests, and the amount was then extrapolated to humans. At the time of approval, behavioral toxicology testing was not required by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and therefore was not done on the artificial food colors.

The Food and Drug Administration and Artificial Food Colorings

The FDA’s website proved to be a valuable database for food coloring information. The site provides precise lists of color ingredients and is quite disturbing. I was personally horrified to learn that all artificial food colorings contain heavy metals such as lead and mercury as well as a myriad of chemicals.

One reason this was so disturbing was that one portion of the FDA had complete literature on the dangers of lead and the sources; however, food coloring was not listed as a potential source of exposure. Another reason this was disturbing was the consideration of all the possibilities for exposure to artificial food colorings in any given day. For example, is your child drinking a sports drink or a fruit juice with coloring? Does their antibiotic contain coloring? How about the macaroni and cheese you made for dinner last night? What are the cumulative effects of this exposure?

What Levels Are Safe?

Most artificial food coloring contains lead, mercury, and arsenic. What amounts of these substances are considered safe? The Department of Health and Human Services reports minimal risk levels (Table 1).

Table 1: Minimal Risk Levels for Mercury, Lead, and Arsenic

Mercury

Lead

Arsenic

Artificial Colors

Artificial colors become even more of a concern because, not only are they in our food products, but they are also in other daily use items such as lotion, shampoo, soaps, etc. Furthermore, the metal allotments in these cosmetic products are even higher than those allowed in food products. Table 2 provides metal and chemical information for each color used in food products. Table 3 provides the same information for each color used in cosmetic products.

Table 2: Artificial Food Coloring (pdf)

All the artificial colorings listed in the Tables are approved for general use in food with the exception of two colors. The first color, Orange B, is authorized for use only in casings or surfaces of frankfurters or sausages. Were you aware that these foods had colors in them? I certainly was not, and that is very concerning. Even if you are consciously trying to avoid colors, you have to be extremely vigilant and check every label, because colors show up in seemingly innocent places.

The second color, Citrus Red No. 2, is approved only for orange skins that are not intended for or used in processing-this means the oranges that we are going to sit down and eat. Again, here we are as parents, providing what we believe is a nutritious alternative for our children, only to learn that they can be laced with heavy metals.

Artificial Cosmetic Coloring

What do baby shampoos, lotions, and washes have in common? They are considered cosmetics and therefore can use FDA approved artificial cosmetic coloring in their products. What is interesting is the FDA has allowed for higher levels of metals in the cosmetics category. Table 3 presents the data for artificial cosmetic coloring.

Table 3: Artificial Cosmetic Coloring (pdf)

Artificial Colors And Dermal Absorption

According to the Children’s Environmental Health Project, dermal absorption is proportional to the concentration of the substance and the surface area to which the substance is applied. Dermal absorption rates vary from person to person and are affected by variables such as skin thickness, occlusions, and the composition of the substance. Composition refers to if the substance is lipid-soluble. If it is, it will be more easily absorbed into the skin.

This is such an important point because this means we have to be as vigilant about what we put on our skin as we are about what we are eating. In addition, most of the cosmetic colorings actually allow for higher concentrations of heavy metals and, if the dermal absorption rate varies from person to person, the amount of toxic substances could affect some individuals more so than others. Something as innocent as washing your hands with soap could be exposing you to more than you bargained, and identifying alternatives needs to be a priority.

Lead

There are several studies on PubMed that considered percutaneous absorption of lead. One study looked at inorganic lead compounds, and the conclusion of the study was that significant amounts of inorganic lead compounds can be absorbed through the skin and protection should be used. Another study looked at inorganic lead compounds and the effectiveness of skin cleansers at removing lead from the skin. Their results showed it is necessary to prevent skin contamination from occurring, because a short contact can increase skin content and penetration, even if quickly followed by washing. Furthermore, E-medicine reports that transdermal absorption for alkyl lead can be substantial.

Mercury

Mercurial ointments were used as a treatment for syphilis before the discovery of penicillin. The ointments were applied directly to the thinnest areas of the skin such as the groin and the bends of the elbows and knees. Some scientists believed that the dermal absorption of the ointment was quite low and that patients were actually receiving benefit from inhaling the mercury vapor. A study was performed where the ointment was rubbed in and any excess was washed off the skin, eliminating any source of mercury vapor. Seventy-five percent of the study participants experienced salivation-one of the known effects of mercury-proving dermal absorption played a key role.

Arsenic

According to the Department of Health and Human Services, dermal absorption of arsenic is low; however, it is readily absorbed if inhaled or ingested. Many wood-based playground structures have been removed out of fears that children would touch the arsenic-treated wood and then put their hands in their mouths.

Artificial Colors, Mental Health, ADD/ADHD

As mentioned previously, Dr. Feingold identified a link between food coloring and hyperactivity. He also noticed a marked increase in the ADD/ADHD classification after the mass introduction of food colorings into our society. A brochure, available in my pediatrician’s office, by McNeil Consumer & Specialty Pharmaceuticals indicates that lead exposure can lead to ADHD, yet the brochure writers discredit the idea that food/cosmetic colors have any role in affecting children’s behavior. If lead has been implicated in ADHD, and colorings have lead in them, then removing coloring additives from the diet and environment are crucial. The Journal of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics published information regarding 15 trials with 219 participants; all were double-blind cross-over trials. Just by eliminating artificial food colorings from their diet, children’s behavior improved significantly. Furthermore, just eliminating food colorings from the diet produced one-third to one-half the improvement typically seen with ADHD medication therapy.

Artificial coloring present in commonly prescribed ADHD medications

Even if one elects to use medication, heavy metal toxicity screenings need to be prescribed prior to psychoactive drugs, because most of these drugs contain colors that can lead to further toxicity. Table 4 provides an account of the coloring present in commonly prescribed ADHD medications.

Table 4: Color Content in ADHD Medications

Source: rxlist.com

This means that children taking these drugs are being exposed to lead, arsenic, and mercury. This also indicates that these children in particular need to be extremely careful with whatever medications they may take-acetaminophen, ibuprofen, antibiotics, etc., to ensure that alternative products that do not contain food dyes are selected. Amoxicillin11 and Cefzil,12 for example, contain Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic-approved red dyes as well as aspartame. As parents, we can check food labels, but we must rely on our physicians to select our medicines, since the bottles provided by the pharmacist do not list the ingredients. Colloidal silver, homeopathy, and supplements may provide a safer alternative.

Several studies also point to the link between lead and ADHD. One of the most recent was published in the Journal of Environmental Health Perspectives.13 According to the Journal, children with blood lead levels of more than two micrograms per deciliter were four times more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD than children with levels below .8 microgram per deciliter. The government’s acceptable blood lead level is ten micrograms per deciliter. The study estimates that more than five million four-to-15 year olds in the US have levels higher than two micrograms per deciliter.

Another study done by the National Academy of Sciences in 2000 stated that roughly three percent of all developmental and neurological disorders in the US are caused by toxic chemicals and other environmental factors. The same study showed that environmental triggers, along with a genetic predisposition, may cause approximately 25% of developmental and neurological deficits. The Academy also acknowledged that, in this study, they were only referring to well-recognized and clinically diagnosed mental and physical disabilities-therefore, the 25% estimate may in fact be higher.14

What is Your Child Exposed to on a Daily Basis?

A Day in the Life of a Child

Most parents I speak to are completely unaware of the color content of their food, cosmetic products, and medicines. Some who are aware are shocked to find out coloring doesn’t come from natural substances. Tables 5-7 offer color information regarding some popular foods, cosmetics, and over-the-counter (OTC) supplementation/medicines used for children.

Table 5: Coloring in Food Items

Table 6: Coloring in Cosmetic Items

Table 7: Coloring in OTC Supplementation/Medicines

Cumulative Effects of Exposure To Artificial Food & Cosmetic Colorings?

What are the cumulative effects of food and cosmetic colorings to us and, more importantly, to our children? According to Dr. Gary Gordon,16 each time a manufacturer prepares a batch of dye for use in its products, it has to submit a sample from that batch to the FDA for certification. Only the FDA can certify colors as safe; no one else has that authority. I was unable to find any studies indicating overall exposure or estimated daily exposure to these metals. I was also unable to find any studies on the mixing of food colorings or the total amount of lead, mercury, arsenic content for products that use a combination of colors. This is concerning.

Artificial Colors in Your Cleaners

Cleaning products present an interesting challenge, since manufacturers do not have to identify the ingredients of their products on the labels. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are available for consumers to view via most companies’ websites. However, these MSDS require manufacturers to provide information regarding established exposure limits. They do not provide an ingredient list and are protected by patent laws.

The Effects of Lead, Mercury, and Arsenic in Artificial Colors

We have all heard that lead is associated with lower IQ, but did you know it could also be responsible for some cavities? According to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (June 23/30; 281:2294), where data was analyzed from 24,901 children, a correlation between lead and cavities were established.

Most of the children participating in the study had blood-lead levels of only a few micrograms of lead per deciliter, well below the federal guideline for blood-lead concentrations of 10 mcg per deciliter. For children aged five to 17, an increased burden of 5 mcg per deciliter of blood corresponded to an 80% increase in cavities. The researchers estimate that cavities of 2.7 million US children result from lead, about ten percent of all cases in that age group. The researchers speculated that either the lead stunts development of the glands that produce saliva (which protects teeth from harmful acid and bacteria) or lead might hinder enamel growth.

The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry estimates one out of every six children in the United States has blood lead levels in the toxic range.

Lead exposure has been linked to developmental delays, peripheral neuropathy, altered thyroid hormone, and reduced fertility. In elderly adults, levels over 4 mcgs can have neurobehavioral effects.

Mercury

So what do you do if you get a cavity? Well, some dentists will fill your teeth with amalgams that contain mercury. Mercury has been implicated in autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, endocrine problems, allergies, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, and a host of other disorders. According to the FDA, “The toxicity of mercury compounds is extensively documented in scientific literature. It is well-known that mercury compounds are readily absorbed through unbroken skin as well as through the lungs by inhalation and by intestinal absorption after ingestion. Mercury is absorbed from topical application and is accumulated in the body, giving rise to numerous adverse effects…Recently it has also been determined that microorganisms in the environment can convert various forms of mercury into highly toxic methyl mercury which has been found in the food supply and is now considered to be a serious environmental problem.”

Common Dreams Newswire reported in 2004 that Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) scientists using data collected by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimated that one in six pregnant women has enough mercury in her blood to pose a risk of brain damage to her developing child. Lower levels of mercury exposure can lead to symptoms of fever, insomnia, rapidly changing moods, and tremors.

Arsenic

Arsenic poisoning has been associated with respiratory, neurological, developmental, and cardiovascular issues. It has also been associated with cancer. In fact, an increased risk of skin cancer in humans is associated with chronic exposure to inorganic arsenic in medication, contaminated water, and the workplace.

Arsenic is present in food such as meat, fish, and poultry and, according to the Department of Health and Human Services, accounts for 80% of our dietary intake (although fish arsenic has a low toxicity in humans and is excreted rapidly in our urine). Fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, paints, and water are other sources of exposure.

An intellectual function study which included 201 children under the age of ten concluded that as little as .0017 mg per day affected children’s performance in switching attention task. When the exposure increased to .0034 mg per day, the children showed decreased performance in both switching attention tasks as well as in tests that measured memory.

What Can We Do?

The first step is to remove artificial colors from your environment. This can be difficult since colors are pervasive, but there are alternatives. For instance, if you need food coloring, health food stores sell colors made from food-turmeric, blueberry, beets, etc. These can be used to make play dough as well as to color foods. Health food stores also make available muffins, toothpastes, snacks, chocolates, drinks, and OTC medications that do not contain artificial colors.

Cooking and eating as many meals as possible at home is also a step in the right direction. You can control what you put in your food. If you need to obtain medication and are not sure if it contains colors, you can check online at www.rxlist.com. If your medication is made with colors, contact a compounding pharmacy to see if they can compound without all the artificial colors. A list of compounding pharmacies can be found at www.iacprx.org.

Autism, formally known as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is a variety of complex brain disorders that affects six out of every 1,000 children.

Some experts believe that the rise in autism-related diagnoses is due to broader definitions of different disorders within the ASD family. Autism is the more severe form of ASD. A milder form of ASD is called Asperger’s Syndrome.

ASD is seen is all socio-economic and ethnic groups. While most commonly diagnosed in children, adults can develop it as well. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, boys are three to four times more likely to have ASD than girls.

Causes and Risk Factors

No recognized authorities know exactly what causes autism, Asperger’s Syndrome and other ASD disorders, however it is believed to be a combination of reasons, rather than one specific cause. It has been linked to:

• Genetics
• Diet
• Vaccine sensitivity
• Inability to properly process and digest vitamins and minerals
• Mercury poisoning
• Digestive track changes
• Immune system dysfunction

Symptoms

Many parents suspect something is wrong with their child by the time they are 18 months old, and generally seek medical advice by the time the child is two years old. The list of symptoms is quite long, depending on the type of ASD a child may experience.

Some recognized symptoms of autism, Asperger’s, and other ASD conditions generally include:

• Difficulty in social situations
• Difficulty playing
• Sensitivity to light, sound and other sensory activity
• Experience distress when the environment or routine changes
• Repeated movements
• Unusual methods of communication such as using gestures, talking about themselves in the third person, repeats patterns of words, etc.
• Difficulty interacting with others or making friends
• Seizures
• Obsessive-compulsive behavior

Healing Options

There is no known cure for ASD, but there are things parents can do to help their children live with it.

A combination of medical and non-medical treatments is recommending, including:

• Educational therapy
• Behavioral therapy
• Occupational therapy
• Physical therapy
• Speech therapy

Dietary Intervention

Many parents report seeing an improvement in their children with ASD when they make significant dietary changes.

Learn to read nutritional panels and analyze ingredients in any processed foods if you decide to use dietary intervention in helping a child live with ASD.

Common changes in diet include:

• Gluten-free
• Casein-free
• Sugar-free

Some vitamin and mineral supplements use gluten and casein as binders or fillers, so be especially careful when choosing which brand to buy.

Gluten-free diet

Gluten is found in places where you wouldn’t suspect, so carefully review ingredients before purchasing any processed foods. A gluten-free diet means no consuming of wheat, rye or barley.

Other names for gluten include: flour, bulgur, cake flour, semolina, spelt, frumento, duram, matzo, matzoh, matzah, graham, kamut, farina, couscous, barley, malt (which is different from corn malt), wheat protein, vegetable protein (unless specifically not from wheat), wheat germ oil, caramel coloring, and triticale.

Casein-free diet

Casein is a protein found in all milk produced by mammals, including human beings. Like gluten, casein is found in many foods where you might not think it exists.

Other names you might find include: milk solids, curds, whey, sodium caseinate, sodium lactylate, lactose, lactalbumin, galactose, protein, caramel coloring, soy cheeses, hydrolized caseinate, etc. Products marked as non-dairy may not have fluid milk, but they almost always have casein or casein derivatives.

Sugar-free diet

While opinions differ on the role of sugar in the diet, many parents see an improvement in their ASD children when processed sugar is removed from the diet.

Other names for sugar include: anything with the word “syrup,” anything ending in “ose” (such as glucose, fructose, dextrose, etc.), caramel, honey, molasses, raw sugar, sorbitol, maltodextrin, and many more.

The post Autism appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

The criminal pharmaceutical drug industry was just recently given a gift by the federal court system (federal “Vaccine Court”) that ruled that childhood vaccines do not cause autism in babies and small children.

Pharmaceutical companies and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services are back in the driver’s seat to push harmful and toxic waste material into the American youth by way of syringe needle and under the guise of public safety.

Remember folks, I have been warning you for years now in how government screw you over and impair what little rights you have left – via “public safety” dogma and doctrine! They always talk about public safety in general and your personal safety in particular.

Public safety is such a monumental and effective word in today’s society whereby the majority of U.S. citizens are scared beyond fright itself. The terrorist campaign (concocted by the government itself for its own agenda) has been a monumental success for the government. It has led to more control of the population.

Government scored a major hit by successfully pulling off the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center. Since this planned event, safety is the major concern for most Americans, and this means the American sheeple are about to really get their wool fleeced, and by those whom they blindly trust – their so-called public servants.

Back in February 2009, a special court ruled that vaccines did not cause autism.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — A special court ruled Thursday that evidence presented in three cases by parents of children with autism did not prove a link between autism and certain early childhood vaccines. The ruling came from a panel of “special masters” who began hearing three test cases in 2007 involving children with autism — a disorder that their parents contend was triggered by the vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella combined with vaccines containing thimerosal, a preservative containing mercury. Three families — the Cedillos, the Hazelhursts and the Snyders — sought compensation from the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, but the panel ruled that they had not presented sufficient evidence to prove that the childhood vaccines caused autism in their children.

Well, just because the plaintiffs may not have sufficiently proved their case in court doesn’t mean that vaccines do not cause autism because I for one know they do. I’ve met too many people who’ve told me how they’re child was fine and normal until the child was vaccinated.

I just received this injury 2 days ago:

“Hello, I am writing to you because of the concern I have about my son. He is 3 years old and does not speak. For the most part he will say “bye” and “mama.” He just makes an “ah” sound when he communicates. He also does not follow directions unless we have to use force. He is not very social and plays by himself a lot unless he is with his sister. He likes to hit his head with his hand, he gets into these laughing spells at times, and just does not like to stay still for long. I made the big mistake of having him vaccinated thinking I was doing the right thing for him. We noticed changes in him after his 18-month to 2 year old shots.”

I’m telling you, folks, it’s the same ole same ole. Folks (parents) thinking they are doing the right thing and harming their children. But hey, ignorance of the law is no excuse. The law of Human Biology does not warrant inorganic and oxidic waste flowing through the body to protect the body against so-called viruses. God made no mistakes in the design of the human body and that’s why we all have a defense system (immune system) and if you would just take care of your body and feed it the correct foods, that defense system will work just fine. You don’t need any vaccines in your blood to do what God made your defense system to do.

I’m not mad at the pharmaceutical industry for their dangerous vaccines. That industry is diabolical and sinister and does what it does and I can respect their right to their position. After all, it does not force its waste matter products (drugs and vaccines) on people, well not directly, though it does use its financial might to heavily persuade the easily persuadable U.S. citizenry to consume drugs and take vaccination shots.

It is government, on the bidding of corporations, that attempt to force vaccinations on people. The pharmaceutical drug companies simply lobby this activity behind the curtains. Consider the following:

Vaccine promotion as a marketing gimmick Drug companies, meanwhile, are seeking out new “markets” for promoting vaccines, including lobbying state legislators to pass mandatory vaccination laws, spreading fear about the Human Papilloma Virus to promote HPV vaccines, and urging parents to get their babies vaccinated for an ever-increasing number of health concerns — including diarrhea. Intelligent, well-informed parents are increasingly asking, “Do our babies really need so many injections?“

The vaccination model of medicine is based on medical mythology promoted by Big Pharma-affiliate health authorities who do not believe the human immune system is able to adequately protect the body without chemical intervention. Vaccine believers — which include most doctors and health officials — insist that the only way the human immune system can properly recognize a potentially dangerous invader (such as a virus) is to intervene by injecting the body with weakened viral elements combined with inflammatory chemicals designed to activate an artificial immune system response. This inflammatory response may be partially responsible for the increase in autism and other diseases following vaccinations. (Some children have died within hours after receiving vaccine injections.) Author Byron Richards recently authored a detailed article explaining this. This medical mythology goes to great lengths to discount the naturopathic view of human health, which says that the human immune system should be supported rather than chemically hijacked, and that when properly supported through healthy foods, nutrition and an absence of chemical toxins, the human immune system is a fantastically effective technology that accurately identifies invading viruses and protects the body with an appropriate immune system response. Allowing the human immune system to do its job also subjects it to stresses that allow an adaptive response to unfold — a response that strengthens the immune system against future threats, significantly lowering the risk of infection in the future.

I have no problems with people choosing to be vaccinated under free will. If you believe in vaccinations, cool! But what I’m saying is this: if you don’t believe in vaccinations, you ought to have the right and free will to reject them. After all, the 4th Amendment of the United States (Bill of Rights) states that people have a right to be ‘secure’ in their person. Vaccinations are clearly a constitutional issue predicated upon privacy rights, liberty rights, religious expression rights, and personal rights. Please remember this, folks, and start raising these constitutional issues (in town hall meetings, against school officials, against law enforcement that aid forced vaccinations, etc.) because the U.S. Constitution protects the people (citizens) against the government, so start exercising these rights, or lose them!

When government sets itself up as the ultimate judge of what’s right and wrong for people, or what’s health and what’s unhealthy for people, it’s a very dark day in a nation that was built upon enlightenment through the words of the Founding Fathers impressed upon them in part by the Native Americans (League of Nations) and Moors. I have to give credit where credit is due. The Founding Fathers were not naturally enlightened men. They had help that you don’t hear about in official history books.

Check out what occurred in the State of Maryland:

“(Natural News) Following the State of Maryland’s threats against parents who refuse to have their children vaccinated, children were herded into a Prince George County courthouse being guarded by armed personnel with attack dogs. Inside, the children were forcibly vaccinated, many against their will, under orders from the State Attorney General, various State Judges and the local School Board Director, all of whom illegally conspired to threaten parents with imprisonment if they did not submit their children to vaccinations.The State of Maryland has now turned to Gestapo tactics to force its medical will upon the People, stripping parents of any right to decide how they wish to protect their own children from infectious disease. Health authorities there have already announced their intent to essentially kidnap parents and throw them in jail, removing them from their children for up to thirty days if they continue to refuse to have their children vaccinated. This will all be conducted at gunpoint, with armed personnel and attack dogs at the ready, making sure nobody steps out of line, and suppressing any attempt at public dissent against the Orwellian vaccination policies.The entire campaign against these parents is blatantly illegal. There is no law in Maryland requiring the vaccination of children, thus parents who refuse to do so may not be legally charged with violating any law. Instead, Maryland health and school authorities are using Gestapo-like tactics, threatening to charge the parents with child truancy violations, criminalizing them for daring to protect their children from the dangerous chemicals found in vaccines (including thimerosal, a chemical additive containing a neurotoxic form of mercury).

Now how come these parents didn’t sue the State of Maryland in a class action suit for declaratory judgment and injunctive relief in federal court (United States District Court) for violating their children’s federal 4th Amendment constitutional rights? The 4th Amendment secures the right to be safe (secure) in one’s person. Why didn’t these parents sue and bring nationwide attention to this state government tyranny? When a State or commonwealth violates the U.S. Constitution, it can be sued in federal court. It can’t be sued for money, but it can be sued for a declaratory judgment which is a court order stating the state action is unconstitutional. The State can also be sued for injunctive relief, which means the federal court can issue an order prohibiting the unconstitutional activity. How come nobody in Maryland did the above?

You see, this is what I’m talking about in how people generally are just too damn unenlightened, non-legally astute, and not proactive in asserting their rights. I never went to college, possess no degrees, never attended law school, or any other school, but I know American law! I know how to read and understand the U.S. Constitution! I know the Bill of Rights. I know what government can and cannot do according to the Constitution and federal statutory law. I know the laws of the State of California. I know how to type up lawsuits and other legal pleadings. I know court rules and procedure. I know the legal game because I taught myself. Law is a big tool in this country and it is used to deprive you of things and to harm you, well, if you are ignorant. Law in America crushes the hell out of poor people. In America, for law to work for you, you must have: (1) Knowledge of law, (2) Money. Yes, money! To file legal pleadings cost money!

Folks, knowledge is power and ignorance is damnable. You don’t need any damn license or certificate to learn something on your own. Radio host and pharmaceutical drug assenter Tom Joyner wrote my words of health off simply because I am not certified. First of all, in the U.S., herbalists are not required to be certified or licensed! Secondly, certification does not denote “competence.” Receiving a certificate for something only means you have been certified. It makes the statement of a declaration, a declaration that something has occurred. Competence is not involved. For example, take a birth certificate. Does a birth certificate mean your baby is competent or was born competent? How could it be competent when it just got here? Its little brain is not even developed to comprehend on the mundane realm of things.

Next, take a death certificate. Does a death certificate mean a person was competent at the time of death? Or, is the statement of a death certificate simply that death itself is competent? Clearly all of this doesn’t make sense if you believe a certificate has to do with competence.

If Joyner believes herbalists are incompetent because they are not certified by government, why is that these incompetent herbalists are not responsible for killing a single human being per year, and these doctors that Joyner believe are competent, kill between 700,000 and 1 million people per year by way of iatrogenics, which means “physician/hospital induced death”?

A birth certificate only declares that a new soul was born, that a birth occurred. A death certificate only denotes that a soul left, that death of the person took place. That’s it! That’s all it denotes!

You don’t have to be an attorney to learn, know, and understand law. People didn’t hire attorneys back in the 1770s. The average citizen knew the law and their rights. Attorneys existed, but the nation was not inundated with them.

Americans have been conditioned to believe that the law belongs to an attorney and without an attorney you’re screwed in court, which is not true if you become legally astute. In fact, you can gain the upper hand on an attorney because attorneys or lawyers are very limited in their legal practice. They’ll either practice family law, civil law, criminal law, commercial law, probate law, or some other kind of law. But you can study all departments of law and become legally powerful due to your knowledge. Lawyers don’t study the Constitution in depth. These people only learn statutory law and in all honesty, they learn from the research of paralegals. That’s who really does all the work while the lawyers make all the money. All lawyers do is go to court and speak on folks’ behalf, speaking legalese to a judge and another attorney.

I’m not indicting all attorneys as useless. All I’m saying is that you can’t think it is not your duty as a citizen to learn the law of the land and your rights. It is your individual responsibility to learn, know, and enforce your rights and the laws that secure them.

In the Maryland forced vaccination occurrence, there were so many constitutional issues that could have been raised. Maryland violated certain parents’ 1st Amendment right (Religious Freedom clause, 5th Amendment right (Right not to be deprived of liberty without due process of law), and 14th Amendment right (Right not to be deprived of liberty without due process).

It was the children’s 4th Amendment right that was violated and the parent’s 14th Amendment right that was violated. This is very important to know! Parents can’t sue in court for violation of their 4th Amendment right because their ‘person’ was not violated. It was their child’s 4th Amendment right (in addition to other amendments where applicable) that were violated, not their own as they were not vaccinated in their person (skin) as their child(ren) were.

We are fast approaching the day on a mundane level whereby government will tell us “Shut up and do as we say – we know what’s best for you more than you do!”

Sorry folks, but you know what? I agree with Deepak Chopra and Dr. Wayne Dyer in that we have the government and leaders we. We do! We allow this tyranny because most Americans are just plain ignorant when it comes to knowing their rights (Bill of Rights, state constitutionally secured rights) and the laws of the land. Generally speaking, all we care about in the United States is the illusion of money which appears to evade most of us no matter how hard we try to make and/or keep it. After money, all we care about is paying the bills, and after that, pursuing entertainment, an escape for most people.

Like I inferred above, we trust attorneys too much when it comes to law, in my opinion. We reserve law in this land for attorneys. Most Americans don’t even believe you can contest a case or even start one without an attorney.

As a people and citizenry, we are dumber, legal-wise, than the people who lived here some 200-230 years ago during the formation of this nation.

We must climb out of our national abyss of ignorance and pursue enlightenment, independent thinking, wholistic intelligence, personal sovereignty, and even plain ole common sense, which have been abandoned by many people, if not most people.

If you think childhood vaccinations don’t or can’t injure your child, ask yourself why does the government have a Childhood Vaccine Injury Act?

This Act exists because children do in fact get injured from vaccines. But despite this fact, Big Pharma is instructed its pawns in government to turn to “Gunpoint medical practices.”

Reflect on the following, please:

The desperation of organized medicine is becoming increasingly apparent. As more and more parents are becoming informed about the dangers of vaccinations and their link to autism, state health authorities are increasingly turning to “Gunpoint Medicine” to force the People to submit to the poisons of conventional medicine. Parents who attempt to save their children from deadly chemotherapy chemicals are being arrested and having their children kidnapped by Child Protective Services, and oncologists who used to be armed only with radiation machines and chemotherapy injectors and now arming themselves with U.S. Marshals and other local law enforcement authorities who are using loaded firearms to enforce “the will of the State” against parents who resist.

Even the American Association of Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) announced its strong opposition to the Maryland “Gunpoint Medicine” vaccination campaign. In a press release published Nov. 16, the AAPS states:

The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons today condemned the “vaccine roundup” executed in Prince George’s county Maryland this week, and promised to do everything it can to support parents who refuse to immunize their children.

“This power play obliterates informed consent and parental rights,” said Kathryn Serkes, director of policy for the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), one of the few national physician groups that refuse corporate funding from pharmaceutical companies.

Government and Big Pharma can only get away with Gunpoint medical practices if ‘We the People’ remain dumb. Don’t be mad at me for using the word ‘dumb.’ I can prove in no matter of time how successfully dumb downed Americans in general have become since 1970, thanks to fast food, junk food, music, media, video games, and cable television.

However, I remain optimistic at all the people waking up to consciousness and truth and trust that the human spirit will triumph over the energy of those ones in positions of power that seeks to rob, suppress, and restrict it.

In conclusion, beware the new childhood vaccine agenda!
