The Scientific Logic Behind Zika: A Tall Tale
Consider the following logic. (Now, mind you… this is an imaginary story, tale. It probably could not really happen in real life.) Say, you have 100 pregnant women living in a small city in Brazil. The city borders a dense jungle area. A wealthy local businessman wants to develop the area, and so he buys up the stretch of land and commences spraying large amounts of the highly…
Bring on the Adult Mandates!
What’s the difference between a vaccine-injured two-month old and a vaccine-injured 30-year old? The 30-year old has a Facebook account and is going to tell everyone about it. The poor baby has to suffer several more rounds after its mother is told “It’s all normal,” but an adult is probably not going to ride that bull more than once before speaking up. Guillain Barre?

Dr. Frieden’s Zika Letter: A False Alarm?
The director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Tom Frieden, MD, recently wrote an opinion piece titled “CDC Chief: Zika is Coming. To fully Protect Americans We Must Have the Funds We Need.” As the title suggests, the aim of the article is to lobby Congress for funds to conduct more research on the Zika virus which has been theorized to be causing some of the cases of microcephaly in Latin America, notably in Brazil.

The trick is to question our beliefs and assumptions, to see if they stand up to scrutiny. When we look at them are we happy that they are solid, scientific facts. I did not always know this and so I harmed my children.
How Toxic Are Vitamin K and Hepatitis B Injections?
Let’s get two things clear about the vitamin K shot. First, it is not a vaccine. Second, it is not a harmless vitamin. It is a manufactured synthetic form of vitamin K, and it is many times what a child would receive naturally. In 2003, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) published a paper rejecting evidence of an association between Vitamin K shots given at birth and…
Why Nurses are Silently Speaking Out Against Vaccines
“Ask your doctor.” This is a popular catch phrase; one that is heard on TV, read in the news, and seen on billboards across the country. You also may use it when that weird co-worker shares a little too much information about his.. er, personal problem. Seriously dude, just ask your doctor. The phrase has become engrained into our minds mostly through the marketing genius of pharmaceutical companies. Just about every drug advertisement we see on TV or hear on the radio ends with it.
