6 Reasons I Won’t Give My Kids The Nasal Flu Vaccine#Flu#Family#Vaccines

Written By: Celeste McGovern

Two of my daughters arrived home from primary school last week with public health packages in their bags. It’s that time of year again, when nurses are out in force like army recruitment officers, waging a war on deadly germs and rounding up volunteers for vaccines.

This year in the United Kingdom the intranasal flu vaccine is being rolled out. It’s already been used in the United States where 14 to 15 million doses of AstraZeneca’s FluMist are currently in distribution for this flu season but this is the first year it is being offered under the brand name Fluenza Tetra in the UK  to all children older than 24 months and it is heavily promoted by public health officials.  They’ve even produced  a “Flu Hero” cartoon  directed at children in which a superhero gives a little boy a nasal flu vaccine which, like a bite from a radioactive spider, transforms him into a superhero himself with super defenses.

I hate the flu as much as other parents, but the public health information struck me as superficial and smacked of a sales pitch, so I decided to look a little deeper into the vaccine and here are the top half dozen reasons my children won’t be going near it…

Why your doctor can’t help you#iBelieve#ASD#repost

Some good insight, that puts things in perspective from one of our, Featured Doctors.

You notice you’re feeling worse and worse. You suffer from chronic fatigue, pain, digestion issues, depression, anxiety, insomnia …. the list goes on. Yet when you go to your doctor, you’re told your lab tests are fine, it’s just age, or perhaps you need an antidepressant. If you press for more tests or keep returning with complaints, you’re labeled a problem patient or told it’s all in your head.

Unfortunately, this happens to untold numbers of people each year. When you can barely muster the energy to get through life’s daily tasks and you have long since abandoned your hobbies, sports, or time with friends, hitting a brick wall at the doctor’s office can fill you with despair.

It isn’t that your doctor is an uncaring person, he or she simply works in a paradigm that is woefully outdated when it comes to the exploding incidences of chronic and inflammatory conditions today. There are instances when conventional medicine is like a miracle, but for the one in five people suffering from autoimmune disease (a disease in which the immune system attacks and destroys tissue in the body or brain), and countless others suffering from undiagnosed autoimmunity, chronic inflammation, severe pain, environmentally induced illnesses, food sensitivities, chronic viral, bacterial, or parasitic infections, brain chemistry imbalances, hormonal imbalances, hair loss, unexplained weight gain, and more — being told your lab tests are fine and you simply need an antidepressant can feel like a kick in the groin.

Medical schools don’t teach nutrition

Medical doctors receive very little nutritional training despite an ever growing body of evidence linking diet with the explosion of chronic diseases today. We know, for instance, that the high blood sugar that comes from eating standard American fare can ultimately lead to diabetes, Alzheimer’s, or heart disease.

The standard approach to autoimmune disease, the occurrence rate of which far surpasses that of cancer and heart disease combined, is to wait until its advanced enough to either surgically remove the affected tissue or administer severe immune-suppressing drugs.

Gluten intolerance is still overlooked by many doctors. Standard testing for gluten sensitivity and celiac disease is limited and outdated, missing countless positive diagnoses. This despite the growing body of evidence that links gluten with autoimmune and neurological conditions. Other dietary proteins can also provoke severe immune reactions, something many doctors are not aware of unless it’s a classical food allergy (which is a different beast than a food sensitivity).

Doctors are constrained by their medical education, which has yet to catch up with modern illnesses. Liability insurance, health insurance, peer pressure, lack of time, and other factors often keep them from investing in the education required to help the millions of people suffering from “mystery” symptoms which, when you look at the science, are not always that mysterious.

Functional medicine for chronic symptoms and illness

Fortunately, functional medicine specializes in using nutritional, botanical, and nutraceutical approaches to manage chronic, inflammatory, and autoimmune conditions. We keep up with the latest science and the latest lab testing, which is integral to unraveling chronic symptoms and conditions. If you’ve hit a dead end with your medical provider, ask our office how functional medicine can help you regain your energy, vitality, and well-being.

Dr. Kory Branham – Featured Doctor#Vaccines#ASD#Health

I have been pleased to find Dr. Kory Branham.  Upon moving to the Salt Lake City, Utah area, I wanted to find a physician that matches the type of healing I find most beneficial for my family and I. He has aided many individuals, and families, and I am fortunate to benefit from his tried and tested techniques. Dr. Branham’s practice has much to offer, whether you are interested in strengthening your immune system or healing from vaccine damages.

Thank you, Dr. Branham for all the good that you do.

I approach immune challenges from a whole body standpoint. I use Applied Kinesiology (manual muscle testing), to tune into each individual body, to determine the organs that are the weakest and identify the factors contributing to the weakness ranging from infections to heavy metals and chemical toxicities, to food allergies, to emotional challenges, to inherited weaknesses.

I use remedies ranging from herbs, flower remedies, vitamins and minerals to structural, spinal and cranial adjusting to emotional release techniques to homeopathic acute and constitutional remedies. Often times the immune system which is a complex of the thymus gland, the spleen, and the lymphatic system is damaged or inhibited by food allergens, or low-grade persistent infections ranging from yeast to viruses, to parasites.

Other organs being depleted will also impact the immune system including low or high adrenal or low thyroid function. It is well known that chronic depression, anxiety or bitterness can suppress the immune system and lead to illness. This is true “Holistic healing,” assessing all factors and then identifying which ones are the priority to address for each individual person.

Some of the most common immune support supplements are zinc, selenium, vitamin C, B vitamins, Reishi and astragalus mushrooms, antibiotic herbs like oregano, and goldenseal and thymus and spleen glandular extracts.

Which, in regard to vaccinations, I use homeopathic test vials for the different vaccines to assess if the body is stressed by them, and specifically which glands or tissues are stressed, then I identify the appropriate remedy or treatments to heal that stressed tissue.

On average about 1/3 of all weaknesses are identified as having emotional components. A big part of what I do is to bring awareness to these issues and help the patient release this energy.

Another hidden factor creating a lot of immune stress is hidden food allergies or sensitivities which can be assessed using Applied Kinesiology.

‘Putting the next generation of brains in danger’#vaccines#health#ASD

By Saundra Young, CNN February 17, 2014
The biggest window of vulnerability to chemicals occurs in utero, during infancy and early childhood, experts say.
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
  • Two scientists are sounding the alarm over chemicals and brain development
  • They are calling for a worldwide overhaul of the regulatory process
  • The American Chemical Council says the review is “highly flawed”
  • The researchers say impacts could include ADHD and dyslexia                                                                 

‘Putting the next generation of brains in danger’

Dr. Philip Landrigan at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York and Dr. Philippe Grandjean from Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, authors of the review published Friday in The Lancet Neurology journal, say the news is so troubling they are calling for a worldwide overhaul of the regulatory process in order to protect children’s brains…

Vaccines pose one of the greatest risks, due to harmful chemicals within, injected  past the blood-brain barrier. Within the article you will find that the amount chemicals that are toxic, to developing brains, has doubled in the past seven years. Click on the link below to read more.

Allyson McQuinn – Featured Doctors Week#Vaccines#Autism#ASD

I am thrilled to introduce Dr. Allyson McQuinn as one of this week’s Featured Doctors. Dr. McQuinn and her husband have an advanced homeopathic approach they use called, the Heilkunst Treatment.  This husband and wife team have patients they treat the globe over and know how to better the health and heal children with autism.  You will hear more about the details of their approach in the article below.

If you or a loved one have a child with ASD you will love the following story.  Very heartwarming and thrilling to see the healing that little Alexandre has received.  You can read more about this healing method in her first of ten books titled,  “The Path To Cure; The Whole Art of Healing” (www.thepathtocure.com)  I cannot wait to get my hand on this book.

Thank you Dr. Allyson for taking the time to share this precious story of Alexandre and his family.  We hope to hear more from you in the future.

Alexandre; Out of the Spectrum

I first met Alexandre on Feb. 7th, 2013.  I was invited by his mother to meet him in order to begin his Heilkunst Treatment (literally  the whole art and science for healing and curing) for Autism.  While 80% of my patients are treated by Skype, Facetime, Google Hangouts or phone, this time I had the pleasure of meeting this 5 year old in person.

When I arrived, I was greeted by Alexandre’s mom, Nicole, who also introduced me to her very vivacious and outgoing 3 year old, Zoë.  I was invited into Alexandre’s room, which is where I first observed him playing.  He did not look up to greet me, but continued playing, clearly absorbed with his trains and plastic letters.  I was completely astounded by the back of his head, bent slightly forward, and I listened to him breath in concentration.  Something felt hauntingly familiar; ‘Oh my God, he looked exactly like my own son, Jordan, at this age.’

I felt pummelled in the stomach with primal memories of my Jordan’s spectrum gestures.  I was landsliding head-long, back 17 years into what it felt like to have a child who lived in a vacuum, cut off from me, and the rest of the world.  I slowed my own breathing to match Alexandre’s as the tears threatened to choke my throat.  I very quietly and deliberately brought my leg up under me to sit on his bed.  I took out my notebook to take notes, hoping to distract myself and his mother.

It felt like my whole organizing lens was toggling back and forth between my present to my past.  I was recalling very quickly why, over the last 10 years as a Physician of Natural Medicine, that I’ve mostly referred off babes in the spectrum to my husband and fellow physician, Jeff Korentayer.  I’d been attempting to keep it clean and neat, and avoiding this exact pit of tumultuous feelings, still running riotous at my core.

Thankfully, the very familiar intake form that my Office Manager had asked Nicole to fill out prior, was before me, prompting me to start asking the requisite questions as I also tried to process my own feelings. “What’s Alexandre’s diet like? How much water does he drink?  What are his sleeping patterns? Any nightmares?  Where does he spend his days?  What are his verbal skills? When was he diagnosed?” The list went on as I scribbled notes with fervor.

I wrote down the answers and felt myself relax into Alexandre’s case while also allowing myself to feel what it felt like to never have been asked pertinent questions with regards to my own son’s case early on.  I was told by the medical doctor who’d removed the stool manually from my son’s body under general anesthetic that, “… some boys just suffer from extreme gut issues.  We don’t know what causes it, so the best we can do is manage it with drugs and diet.”  At that point, all those years ago, the terror of being trapped without a diagnosis still brings up fear and anger.  The host of alternative practitioners that we consulted offered the same nebulous non-answers, albeit their prescriptions were “more natural,” they’re results impotent.

As I watched Alexandre, I noticed how he loved to place the plastic letters in no particular order, but when Zoë came closer, he would body check her while grunting from his throat with his primal, non-verbalized dissent.  At this point, Nicole was describing how when Alexandre was 2, she was entirely in denial with regards to his developmental milestones even when he never crawled as a baby.  If he got excited, he’d express himself through pinching, biting, or pulling hair.  I recalled these same feelings in me those many years ago when Jordan did not speak, rocking back and forth in a corner instead.

As Nicole described his diet of pizza, fries, and chicken nuggets, I did not judge her in any way, as my own son would literally have starved himself of any food if I did not comply with his wishes.  Watermelon and raw carrots were the only fruit and vegetable that he would eat at the time.  When I tried making chicken fingers from scratch with almond meal instead of flour, they were launched across the room to hit the wall with a resounding “pwouff,” and then sliding down to lay lifeless on the floor; his anger and my anger intertwined.

In addition to Alexandre’s “ASD”, he’d suffered bouts of ear pain, eczema, a marked hearing deficit, sinus issues, and a chronic cough.  I went back to my office to formulate his medicines, knowing I was armed with the arsenal that would launch this babe out of the spectrum efficiently and quickly using the principles of Heilkunst Medicine.  I prepared his Emotional Support Dropper with homeopathic remedies and flower essences that would help to stabilize him constitutionally, while also stripping the excess.  In addition, I also made up his Drainage and Organ Support Dropper to begin the process of detoxing his physical body from toxins and heavy metals, while also supporting his organs and lymphatic system.  This enabled me to set the stage for clearing each issue from his timeline of traumas, including the the use of antibiotics, a car accident, running into a busy street from daycare, his boosters, vaccinations, and birth.

After these events, I knew that I would have access to his Genetic Miasms based on the law of the succession of forces.  Every individual has these in their cellular memory based on a few thousand years of human evolution, layered like a geological dig.  It’s just a matter of which ones predominate, throwing up unwanted symptoms.  Buried in each one of us is the predisposition for skin afflictions (Psora), bronchial complaints (Tuberculinum), heart disease (Medhorrinum), cancer, joint/tendon issues, and autism (Syphilis).  These Genetic Miasms (there are 8 all together), unfortunately, never go away unless cured on the basis of natural law, “like cures like”.  Vaccinations can trigger some of them, or all of them, to start wreaking havoc.

Over 15 years ago, the same Heilkunst medical path, with few variances, was followed for my son, Jordan, who was cured within the year of his own spectrum issues.  Today, at almost 20, he is a trampoline acrobat and Parkour Instructor, as well as a Bowen Practitioner (soft tissue modality) with his own growing practice.  No one, meeting him, would ever suspect he’d ever been in the spectrum.  I’m so thankful for the principles of Heilkunst Medicine or he’d never have realized his essential self.  So many children have now been cured by these foundational principles by the just over one hundred Practitioners world-wide.

Six months ago, and six months into treatment, Nicole cited, “What brought me to see Allyson is my beautiful, non verbal autistic 5 year old son, Alexandre. I needed to figure this out! I was not settling for what we were dealing with at the time. We still have leaps and bounds to go, but he is growing, I can see light bulbs turning on left and right and he is here with us so much more than he used to be!

We started our journey in early February, he has been a trooper with everything I’ve thrown at him. He asks for his drops if I haven’t given them at the appropriate time, if we’re due for an appointment, his body tells us! Simply amazing. He is now speaking at the rate of a 2 year old, repeating everything and now using small sentences! It’s a start and I’m aching for more!”

Fast forward to March 2014, one full year into treatment, and here is Nicole’s testimonial:

“One year into this journey and my son is a different person, he still has a delay in verbal communication, however, he knows how to get his point across and mimics almost every word that leaves my lips.  Just this morning I was trying to get them into the car to leave for daycare, I told him to “get in the car” in a bit of a demanding tone, he repeated using a very similar influx in his tone.  I beamed and was high fiving myself and him in my head.

I still ache for more!

Being the non-confrontational person I am, I avoid conversations of vaccines and different therapies, that others have a huge opinion on.  That said, I do not hide the treatment plan that we’ve discovered through Ally.  I run a blog and facebook page named “The LeBlanc’s vs Autism”, on this page, I do share some of our treatment plan and the great success that we have had through it.
Alexandre has received all vaccines that the doctors suggest his tender 6 year old body is “supposed” to,  Zoë however will not.  I do not regret the choices I have made, I wish I had known the truth about allopathic medicine before I vaccinated the crap out of my babies.  I thought I was protecting them, and this is what happened.

I still am not sure if the vaccines caused his Autism, but I do know that since we have gone to see Ally, our world has changed.  He still has a limited diet, but he loves water more than any other beverage, and he is open to have a sprig of broccoli on his plate now and then.  We’ve grown together, I have changed, he has changed and Zoë is now on board with her own droppers and paper hearts.  I know without a doubt that I am helping my family and keeping them safe and protected without causing an ounce of pain.

Thank you Ally for coming into our lives.  We genuinely love you and how much you have taught us.”

At this juncture, a year and one month later, Alexandre has many words in his vocabulary and continues to progress on all levels of his cognition.  He interacts well with other children and his family members and his grandparents and relatives have written notes to me acknowledging his leaps and gains with regards to becoming a more engaged and communicative child.  Alexandre is just halfway through his first round of Genetic Miasms.  I’m just imagining where he’ll be in another few months!
