Low-risk pregnant women urged to avoid hospital births#android#iPad#retweet

Women with low-risk pregnancies are to be encouraged to have non-hospital births under new NHS guidelines, which could see almost half of mothers-to-be planning to deliver their baby away from traditional labour wards.

Guidance from National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) says that midwife-led care has been shown to be safer for women and recommends that all women with low-risk pregnancies – 45% of the total – should be advised that giving birth in a midwifery-led unit, whether attached to a hospital or not, is “particularly suitable”.

The changes, published on Wednesday , have been made because women who give birth under midwife-led care have less chance of being asked to undergo medical interventions such as episiotomies, caesareans and use of forceps or ventouse.

Susan Bewley, professor of complex obstetrics at King’s College, London, and chair of the Nice advisory group, added that infections were more common on hospital wards…

Awake at 3 a.m.? Try this quick and easy trick to fall back asleep#insomnia#iPad#android

By Dr Flannery

Do you often wake up at 3 a.m., your mind racing with thoughts, and you can’t fall back asleep? Try this crazy sounding but highly effective tip: Eat something! Make sure it’s not something sweet but instead something with protein and fat, such as nut butter, a bit of hard boiled egg, or some meat. Make sure to keep some food next to your bed with a glass of water so you don’t wake yourself up too much by going to the kitchen. You won’t feel hungry and most likely won’t feel like eating, but do it anyway as an experiment. Chances are you will fall right back to sleep. Why?

If things go according to plan you don’t bolt awake at 3 a.m. While you’re sound asleep you’re brain is hard at work and needs plenty of fuel. It is forming memories, clearing out old cells, regenerating — all while you’re fasting, having gone hours without eating. In order to give the brain the energy it needs, the body gradually raises cortisol, an adrenal hormone. Cortisol triggers the release or synthesis of glucose to fuel the brain during the nightlong fast and you sleep through the night.

That’s if things are working right. If you suffer with chronically low blood sugar then you are one of those people who is likely to bolt awake at 3 or 4 a.m. People with low blood sugar will have difficulty making enough cortisol to sustain the brain during the night. To compensate and keep the brain going, the body then releases “fight-or-flight” adrenal hormones. These adrenal hormones raise blood sugar back to a safer level to give the brain fuel. Unfortunately, they also raise stress, which can cause anxiety or panic in the middle of the night. This explains why you wake up at 3 or 4 a.m. with a racing mind, an infinite to-do list, in a panic, or some other stress-addled state.

Things you can do during the day to avoid waking up at 3 a.m.

Although a few bites of food may help you fall back asleep, it’s better to prevent that anxious wake up call in the first place. If low blood sugar has you waking up every morning at 3 a.m. try the following tips:

  • Always eat breakfast, even if you don’t feel like it, and avoid sugary, high-carbohydrate foods with breakfast. Low blood sugar will cause you to wake up with no appetite. You may even feel nauseous. Eat anyway, you need to break the nightlong fast and stabilize your blood sugar.
  • During the day eat frequently enough so blood sugar does not crash.
  • Avoid sweets and starchy foods (breads, pasta, rice, potatoes, etc.) and adopt a lower-carbohydrate diet. People with low blood sugar symptoms typically eat too many sweets and starchy foods as well as frequently skip meals. Eat enough protein and healthy fats to sustain your energy.

Ask my office about nutritional compounds that can help you manage your blood sugar better and sleep through the night.

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. Mark Flannery – Featured Doctor#Vaccines#World#Family

 Last month, I was honored to recognize Dr. Mark Flannery during our Featured Doctors week.  He wrote an informative and straight-forward article for the blog. A couple of weeks later, I became aware that Dr. Flannery had treated over 80 Gardasil victims.  Families have sought his care from many parts of the world.  After looking into this I felt it appropriate to ask him to return and share some of his experiences with us.

You will also find a link to some other fascinating posts that he has written.  One of which, is about a young woman who has had significant healing in a short amount of time while under his care.  We shared her Gardasil story and now we get to know her doctor. 

Thank you, Dr. Flannery, for being a beacon of light to those who desperately need your care and  talking with us today in hopes to have fewer vaccine-injuries.

By Dr. Mark Flannery

It was about 6 years ago that I received a call from a patient of mine. She said her niece, SJ, who lived in Nebraska, was suffering from a reaction to the Gardasil vaccine. SJ had severe stomach pain, nausea and vomited often. She also suffered from debilitating headaches. The hospital in her hometown refused to treat her because her lab tests were normal and the doctors told her it was all in her head. My patient said that her family was packing their bags and coming out to California to see if I could help SJ.

I remember talking with my wife after that phone call and wondering what I was going to do for SJ. I had never treated someone for a reaction to the Gardasil vaccine before and I did not know if I could help her. My wife said, “Do what you always do and you will help her.”

It is not uncommon for me to encounter a condition I have never seen before, as I treat so many people that have been to practitioner after practitioner seeking answers for their obscure health condition. What I have learned over the years is to treat the person NOT the condition. Too often I see patients being dismissed by the medical field because they cannot find a diagnosis.

 In the medical field it is all about the diagnosis. In ordered to get paid or reimbursed by insurance there has to be a diagnosis. In order to determine treatment there must be a diagnosis. If there is no diagnosis to be found then there must not be a problem or the problem is in the head (made up). The medical field dismisses patient after patient, yet these patients are suffering greatly. This is madness.

 Why are they focusing on the diagnosis (the condition) when there is a human being standing before them, suffering. Why not treat the person? This is what I do in my office: I treat the person and not their condition. I run tests, not to determine a diagnosis, but to determine function. I want to know what is working and what is not working in the patient’s body. Then, I can focus on restoring function to the patient’s body. Once function is restored, symptoms are lessened or healed completely.

 This is exactly what I did for SJ! When she first came in to my office, her stomach hurt so much I could not even touch her stomach without her screaming in pain. I ordered some tests to determine function, and then began to treat her with a modified diet and supplements. In the beginning she vomited up most of the supplements, but after a few days she started to hold them down. Within a week I was able to examine her stomach without her screaming in pain. Within a few weeks most of her symptoms were gone. It took sometime to get her in a stable place but we got there.

 Fast forward 6 years and I have now treated over 80 girls and boys worldwide that have had devastating reactions to the Gardasil vaccine. I have learned that there is no silver bullet treatment. I treat each one as an individual. I run diagnostic tests, evaluate the situation and support what I find. I can’t say I have helped every patient who has had a reaction to the Gardasil vaccine, but I have helped most of my patients. I have even helped several girls in life-threatening situations recover and return to a normal life again.

 I have spent many hours talking with so many that have been damaged by this vaccine. My heart breaks for all the girls, boys, and families that have been devastated by this vaccine. I pray that each and every girl and boy affected finds the proper care they need, and for the word to get out about this vaccine so no one has to endure the side effects. I would encourage you to keep hoping and keep searching for what will help you or your child recover.

Below is the story we featured this past month and the link to the rest of Ashlee’s story and other accounts as well.

Gardasil: Ashlie’s Near-Death Experience


Ashlie in the hospital

In the middle of June 2009, Ashlie received her first and only Gardasil vaccine.  Approximately 16 days later Ashlie began to complain that her legs were not working correctly… The next morning, I came downstairs and Ashlie was lying on the couch. She told me that she had crawled from her room and down the stairs to get to the couch. She informed me she could not walk. I asked her to stand. She tried and fell to the floor.

She was quickly taken to our local ER. The doctor threw his hands in the air saying he had no idea and it must be growing pains…

Later that night, I helped Ashlie in and out of the bathtub because she could no longer walk. I went to hand her something and to my horror discovered that her arms and hands were not working either… I rushed Ashlie to an ER over an hour away.  I carried her in, and for a crowded ER on a Saturday night, she was seen within 1 hour.

Ashlie now

…We were told that she had Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS). I could not figure out how she got this.

Once she was admitted to the hospital, they handed me a bunch of literature on GBS. My answer to how she contracted GBS was in the first sentence that I read, and it said that you can get GBS from a vaccine. She had just had a vaccine, the Gardasil vaccine earlier that month.

He has devoted the last 13 years to treating chronically sick patients suffering with autoimmune conditions, developmental delays and neurological problems.

Because he had worked for many years with Autistic Spectrum children, Dr. Clark already knew how devastating vaccine injuries can be not only to the child, but for the entire family.

Since 2008, Dr. Clark has personally witnessed Gardasil®‘s disastrous side effects on the nervous system, immune system and endocrine system. The damage is so severe, Dr. Clark says….

“Gardasil® injury is the New Autism.”

In the exclusive video linked below, Dr. Clark reveals the Top 3 Neuro-Endocrine-Immune problems caused by Gardasil® Injury:

  1. Autoimmunity
  2. Metal-Induced Immune System Hypersenstivity
  3. Dysautonomia

…And how these three cause the common symptoms of Gardasil® Injury:

  • Headaches: migraines, basilar migraine, pressure
  • Muscle and Joint symptoms: pain, stiffness, spasms
  • Fatigue, Low Energy and Poor Stamina for normal daily activities
  • Stroke-like symptoms: difficulty walking, talking, cognitive issues
  • Neurological symptoms: seizures, brain fog, neuropathy
  • Gastrointestinal symptoms: nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhea, constipation

“My name is Alan Freestone. I’m a homeopath living in London and I specialise in treating autistic children. What is apparent to me is that large numbers of these children have been damaged by vaccines. I don’t believe it is a coincidence that as the vaccine schedule has increased dramatically so has the incidence of autism.I served in the RAF in the past and was innoculated with a whole cocktail of tropical vaccines in one day. Around 9 months later I started suffering from an auto-immune disease. It was only years later that I put two-and-two together and corrected the auto-immune condition by removing the toxicity from my body using homeopathy.So my message is: vaccines can seriously damage people, but homeopathy can often repair this damage. There is always hope. If you suspect that someone you know has been damaged by a vaccine, even many years ago, please put them in touch with me.Anyone interested in finding out more about my methods, please visit my website:www.alanfreestone.com or drop me a line at: alan.homeopath@gmail.comThank youAlan”

 Hello everyone, this is our Featured Doctors Week.  I have sought out doctors that have one thing in common.  Doctors that have had great success in treating patients with vaccine-induced diseases.  These are complicated cases that many individuals search for years before they find relief and healing.  This week is a tribute to those doctors that have gone the extra mile to find help and answers for their patients.  Thank you.
