Let Thy Food Be Thy Medicine: Part 1- The Bad

 It all started when my son was 6 months old. I was in the clinic awaiting the call back for his 6 month vaccines, and I picked up a Rolling Stones magazine. In it was an article discussing a possible link between vaccines and autism conducted by a Dr. Andrew Wakefield. As any parent who had never considered negative repercussions of vaccines, I was shocked and wanted more information before proceeding. I got up, took my child, and walked out. I spent the next few days wondering where to proceed. I attempted to obtain an insert from the vaccine box which supposedly would give me a list of ingredients. First, I was lied to.

Then I was simply told no. When I demanded to see the box the vial comes in, they escorted me out of the building. I knew at that point they were hiding things from the public. So I became a temporary anti-vaxxer...just until I could ascertain the details surrounding the doctors' dirty little secrets...

I researched for over 3 years...reading every study. listening to every news report. I spent time getting my hands on vaccine inserts to read.  The more I studied, the more disturbing evidence I found.

Within a few months of that article being printed, I could no longer find it online. The CDC came out with a blanket statement that there was NO link between vaccines and autism because they did a SINGLE study, and the matter was CLOSED! (Capital letter closed because it was covered on every media outlet that this ONE study was enough to debunk any and all other work on the topic.) (Where was responsible journalism?! Where was responsible science?! Anyone in the science field knows you need years of studies to "prove" anything.) Only recently, Dr.William Thompson, a top CDC scientist who worked on the very study that "proved" vaccines and autism weren't linked came forward as a whistleblower with documentation proving the CDC committed fraud by removing half the children from the study to alter results.

Since that time, every study that has shown no link to autism was skewed with the same bad science based on the 2004 study. Britain had ruined Wakefield's career for even suggesting a possible link.
Well, I had been looking into this...I wasn't so convinced.

 There were loads of studies from around the world that were linking vaccines to possible problems with allergies, ADD, ADHD, autism, SIDS,  and even the spreading of the diseases that they were trying to prevent!

 ( side note: Herd immunity is a myth because in order to have herd immunity, you need 90-95% of the population fully immune to a disease...We don't have that. THAT is why most outbreaks of measles and chicken pox happen in "fully" vaccinated communities...Without constant boosters every few years, your body is NOT fully immune. Also, it usually begins because a recently vaccinated person shed the disease. I had a grown friend contract the chicken pox because his daughter had recently received the vaccine.)


Here is a link to just 30 studies that suggest a connection between vaccines and autism. https://healthimpactnews.com/2013/30-scientific-studies-showing-the-link-between-vaccines-and-autism/
Oh...and Here is 125 MORE! https://www.scribd.com/doc/220807175/125-Research-Papers-Supporting-the-Vaccine-Autism-Link

The truth is, most (if not all) of the studies dismissing a link have some form of tie to the money.
These INDEPENDENT scientists had nothing to gain from these findings, and after seeing what happened to Wakefield, they had something to lose...like their career.

So, I did what my father taught me, and I followed the money.

Let's talk about what you..the American citizen...don't know.

I personally do not believe that organizations that control the healthcare and welfare of our country should be able to receive "donations" ...huge sums of money ... from the people who profit from us being sick. let's take the American Academy of Pediatrics. Their number one sponsor is Merck Pharmaceuticals... The parent company for many of the vaccines your child receives.

Oh! If your child suffers a serious reaction or death from a vaccine, you can't sue the company...Our government has created a fail-safe that bypasses due process. Instead, you must apply for an opportunity to be heard by a judge in a special vaccine court. You will wait years, you cannot appeal, and there will be no jury.

 Following Merck are several other pharmaceutical companies making "donations"...and then formula companies (which recently came down and said in a medical journal that doctors should no longer call breastfeeding natural....They are losing too much money.)

Medical schools are no better.

 (taken from http://www.onegreenplanet.org/natural-health/how-medical-school-funding-from-big-pharma-impacts-your-health/)

"Did you know that, up until recently, U.S. pharmaceutical companies funded the majority of U.S. medical schools with very little regulation?

It’s nothing new to point out how flawed modern U.S. healthcare is in its treatment-based philosophies over preventative measures. This idea (and our doctors poor grasp on sound nutrition), however, seems to make a lot more sense when we realize just how far the Big Pharm arm reaches.

In 2008, AMSA (American Medical Student Association), in collaboration with The Pew Charitable Trusts, uncovered just how extensively pharmaceutical companies influenced medical institutions in the U.S. AMSA created a conflict-of-interests scorecard to show just how ethically academia was interacting with the pharmaceutical business:

• 40 out 150 schools received an “F”, including Harvard, which had no conflict-of-interests policies in place. (Note: Harvard received an “A” on the next survey.)
• Less than 15 percent of medical schools scored an “A” or “B,” insinuating the overwhelming majority of doctors have received a severely skewed education.  "

AS you can see, it is highly likely that most of what we know about modern medicine has had the opportunity to be seriously misled. If pharmaceutical companies write the paychecks, they control what is and isn't studied, what is and isn't learned in school. Is it so unlikely that they demanded the altering of results?! I mean, they are in the business of profiting only if they keep people sick.

  It is the same way with the food we eat. Do YOU think that the people in charge of our food safety should have monetary links to the companies that profit if we are sick?! I pulled this directly from the Monsanto website,"Prior to Sept. 1, 1997, a corporation that was then known as Monsanto Company (Former Monsanto) operated an agricultural products business (the Ag Business), a pharmaceuticals and nutrition business (the Pharmaceuticals Business) and a chemical products business (the Chemicals Business). Former Monsanto is today known as Pharmacia LLC. Pharmacia is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer Inc., which operates the Pharmaceuticals Business."

It gets worse. 

The USDA is indirectly controlled by Monsanto...the people who brought us agent orange.

 According to this link: http://www.nationofchange.org/monsanto-has-taken-over-usda-1368111215

 "Monsanto's growth hormones for cows have been approved by Michael Taylor, a former Monsanto lobbyist turned USDA administrator and FDA deputy commissioner.  This was after Margaret Miller, a former Monsanto employee, oversaw a report on the hormones' safety and then took a job at the FDA where she approved her own report.

Islam Siddiqui, a former Monsanto lobbyist, wrote the USDA's food standards, allowing corporations to label irradiated and genetically engineered foods as "organic."

The recently passed and signed law nicknamed the Monsanto Protection Act strips federal courts of the power to halt the sale and planting of genetically engineered crops during a legal appeals process.  The origin of this act can be found in the USDA's deregulation of Roundup Ready sugar beets in violation of a court order.  The USDA argued that any delay would have caused a sugar shortage, since Monsanto holds 95% of the market.

The revolving door keeps revolving.  Monsanto's board members have worked for the EPA, advised the USDA, and served on President Obama's Advisory Committee for Trade Policy and Negotiations."

These people are the best in the world at covering up corruption. 

As you can see (unless you simply choose to be ignorant to your own detriment), there are some serious conflicts of interest lurking in the very organizations that control our health and food. The food we buy at the store is mostly highly processed. Most of that food is filled with known possible carcinogens, preservatives, artificial color, and GMOs. In the part 2 of this series, I will talk about the good news...what we can do for ourselves...and what is changing for the better.
