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It isn’t that your doctor is an uncaring person, he or she simply works in a paradigm that is woefully outdated when it comes to the exploding incidences of chronic and inflammatory conditions today.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.

Dr. Kory Branham

Dr. Branham was born in St. George, Utah in 1955.
At six months of age, his family moved to northern Wisconsin where he grew up and attended high school.

He graduated Magna Cum Laude in 1980 and began his career first in Texas then in Detroit, Michigan where he spent three years working for Dr. George Goodheart.
Dr. Goodheart was the founder of Applied Kinesiology, which is a diagnostic technique using manual muscle testing to evaluate the body. Through “AK”, a practitioner can quickly evaluate and integrate many different kinds of natural therapy and apply it to the patient very specifically. Dr. Branham became certified as a Diplomat of the International College of Applied Kinesiology and has become a master of this technique.
In addition to this technique Dr. Branham has studied and integrated many other healing modalities into his practice including craniosacral therapy, trigger-point release techniques, Neuro-Emotional Technique(“NET”), diversified adjusting, and functional medicine which utilizes functional hair, blood, and stool analysis to diagnose the patient.
Dr. Branham moved to Utah and began practice here in 1986. Initially attracted to the mountains and snow for the climbing and skiing he met his wife Julie here and has made it his home. He currently resides in Alpine, Utah where he and his wife are raising four children and running a Yoga studio.

Bon Voyage Health Fears#Vaccines#Health#Family

When I opened this blog, I had no idea at how interpersonal it would become between my life, and others led to contemplate on these same topics.  As of late a few topics have continued to circle, and float to the top of my thoughts.                       Praying family about to have dinner together

One of which, is the GMO issues facing our food supplies, vitamins, water, and even the grass beneath our feet. As much as I want to learn all the ins and outs of this topic, I find it can be so upsetting though great advancements are taking place as well.  I forward along articles where I can, sign petitions, make better consumer choices and so forth.  These are all good things, but I need to keep a healthy balance in my daily life, and this one concern alone could overtake so much.  As I do what I can to make things better in my little world, I have a comforting thought.

I was reminded of a story, a sweet neighbor shared with me when living in Ivins, Utah.  A gorgeous little community, one in which the Broadway of the desert is located, Tuacahn.

This neighbor had a husband who served in the Navy at one time.  She told me how there was a U.S. naval sailor in a prisoner of war camp.  The poor quality of the food was making the men sick over a significant period of time.  There was one man whose health didn’t seem to be affected as the others.  The one difference, he Blessed his food.

When I begin to feel a certain overwhelm with an unending list of nasty chemicals in our food.  I will do what I can to avoid such consumer products, and continue to sign those petitions, but in the end I will have the faith that my Heavenly Father will make up the difference in our prayers.

Controversy has erupted in western Canada after public school nurses reportedly vaccinated a 14-year-old student without her parents’ consent. CBC.ca reports that the Bootsma family of British Columbia is furious and demanding answers after their ninth-grader was pulled out of class one day and coerced into getting the combination DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis) vaccine without a parental consent form or even parental notification.
