Dr. Rima and General Bert have gone to India, to the southern city of Mangalore, where Dr. Rima is scheduled to give a paper and chair a discussion group at the 2015 All India Medical Congress.
.

.
We will post a copy of Dr. Rima’s paper, “Regulation and Results: The Real Cost of Medical Decision-Making in a Commercialized, Politicized Health Care System” here, along with notes about their trip that Dr. Rima will be Skyping to us over the next days, so please check this page for progress.

.
Here is Dr. Rima’s First Report:
.

27 January 2015 – Tomorrow evening I am off to India with General Bert.
.
I will be presenting a paper to the All India Congress on Medical Education saying that vaccines are both a profound violation of national and individual well-being and can be replaced by – you guessed it – Nano Silver 10 PPM!
.
By the way, since the financial attacks on the Foundation and on us personally have been so profound, the only way we were able to make this important trip to bring the Vaccination is Vioolation message to India is with frequent flier miles!
.
Ha! They forgot that we had that resource!
.
The other thing we will be doing in India is investigating an ancient health system called Ayruveda. We know it lightly but before I integrate it into our health system recommendations and our health center, I want to understand it much better.
.
I’ll try to write a daily blog about my experiences and General Bert’s so you’ll be able to share our experiences there.
.
My expectations for this exploration of Ayurveda are very high.
.
One final thought: we are on a journey together, you and I. We are learning and changing through that journey and I believe profoundly that the most important thing any of us can do is support and inform each other with love and compassion, both ferocious and gentle as the situation demands. Your donations to help us continue our Health Freedom work are always very much appreciated: http://drrimatruthreports.com/action/donate/
.
Yours in health and freedom,
.
Dr. Rima
.
And here is the video pod cast of Vaccination Is Violation:

.

28 January 2015 – I begin my Ayurveda Adventure with a Chilean one.
.
We did not have the exact correct document that the thought we should have so we could not get through border control. But everyone was calm, positive and helpful ss we weny to a window and told the people at the computers the situation. 15 minutes of standing around and a stamp appeared on our exit form. Back to the line to see the same border patrol guy who cheerfully stamped our passports and off we went.
.
To Security.
.
Minus the snarling.
Minus the guns.
Minus the interrogation.
Minus the full body scanners.
.
Just calm and courteous processing with the only part of their bodies touching mine were there eyes meeting mine with a smile.
.
Waddy know.
.
Security without threat.

.

29 January 2015 – Ayurvedic Adventures Installment 3
.
Ok, So we reached Madrid in time for our connecting flight to London for our connecting flight to Mumbai for our connecting flight to to Mangalore.
.
Or so we thought.
.
Turns out that the flight to London is delayed. If we miss the plane to London, we will probably miss the flight to Mumbai, lose our prepaid hotel reservations and our flight to Mangalore.
.
Don’tcha just love traveling?
.
Gen. Bert travels through airports and other long-walk facilities in a wheelchair (he broke both hips skiing, 11 years apart). The logistics are not the best part of all of this. HOWEVER, as Gen Bert repeatedly opines in situations like this, it is better to be down here wishing we were up there than up there wishing we were down there.
.
On a much more substantive note, the Program (or as they write it, the Programme) Chair of the All India Congress on Medical Education at which I will be presenting, noted in his gracious letter to me that not only was my paper accepted for the Congress (which I did expect) but he congratulated me for making the points that I have and for showing a new path for India, which I did not expect.
.
I have had many papers accepted for both publication and presentation, but I have never had a comment like that from the editor or program chair.
.
This should encourage all of us greatly and give all of us hope for the possibility of deep change in this world of ours.
.
And we need that hope to keep working for dynamic and positive change, don’t we?
.
More to follow,
.
Yours in health and freedom,
.
Dr. Rima

30 January 2015 – [1] From London to Mumbai
.
Flight delayed, so we spent the night in a London hotel; leaving early morning for Mumbai, India where we will be arriving just after Midnight Saturday… which is about 1:00 PM Eastern time, Friday.

30 January 2015 – [2] Mumbai
.

Ayurveda Adventures
.
You know what I remembered that I had forgotten that I knew?
.
ALWAYS COMBAT LOAD when your travel. It’s a concept I learned from Gen. Bert a long time ago: split whatever you need (underwear, toothbrush, comb, deodorant, shits, socks, etc. in this case beause we are not packing bullets or ram rods) and divide it in two. Have one part with you and the other part in your checked baggage. ALWAYS!
.
Except we forgot to tell Naty, our wonderful assistant. So when we finally got to Mumbai (which was Bombay the last time we were here) our bags were there. Her bag was not.
.
No underwear. No shirts, pants, shoes for our meetings, nothing.
.
Three and a half hours later we knew that British Air had sort of kind of “forgotten” to let us know that they knew that her bag would not be on the plane but would be coming in a day or two.
.
When it arrived, they said, we would have to come back from wherever we were to the Mangalore airport to collect it.
.
Nope. Not on your life. That was another hour or so until some official agreed that it was our right to have it delivered.
.
So what’s the address to which it will eventually be delivered (24 hours? 48 hours? 72 hours? No one knows)?
.
Um, can’t tell you. The good people who are picking us up have not responded to my multiple requests for their phone number or address.
.
We are absolutely confident that they have both. We do not have them.
.
But we are working with the founder of a major Ayurvedic Medical School in a small town near Mangaore so we gave the official in the airport the professor’s email and the address of the Medical School.
.
Time to go shopping, Naty, because who knows if you’ll ever see your bag again!
.
However, we are here and, I am pleased to tell you, Gen. Bert, who does all of our packing since he learned how to do that as a young officer who was serving as an Aide de Camp for various General Officers and he is REALLY good at it, actually did Combat Load for us. Except for this freaky reality:
.
Some layer of security went through our bags, all of them, pawed around and took all of my underwear. Not General Bert’s, mine. So I guess I will be shopping a bit, too.
.
We have travelled all over the world. Lost bags happen. But purloined panties? Pretty weird.
.
Travel broadens one. It also gives you the opportunity to make new friends and buy new clothes!!!
.
We’re posting this and other notes about our trip to deliver my paper “Regulation and Results” to an All India Medical Congress and to learn about the Ayurvedic Health Tradition here: http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=22495.
.
More from Mangalore in some hours.
.

.

31 January 2015 – Mumbai to Mangalore
.
It is the middle of the night where you are right now. We’re closer to the Medical Congress where I am to present a paper that addresses what is becoming the most pressing Health Freedom issue in the world — starting with the USA and its current “measles epidemic” — mandated vaccines and their consequent chronic disease and infertility.
.
Here in Mumbai. India it is 9:53AM and we have just scooted on board our flight because getting Gen. Bert’s wheelchair took about 3/4 of forever.
.
Racing through the airport, onto the train, off the train, onto the ramp to finally hear the lovely “welcome aboard” was not fun but, all in all was better than not hearing it!
.
Before I retired for about 3 hours of sleep, Ralph and I spent quite a lot of time speaking with people about how to invest in our extraordinary CBD hemp project and how our finder’s fee program works for the our associates who connect us with people who invest. If either part of that is of interest, call Counsel Ralph at 973.300.4594. Don’t call me. My phone and I will be at 30,000 feet!
.
Monday’s program will originate from tropically hot Mangalore. My guest is CIA whistle blower Susan Lindauer. The program will be hot too.

01 February 2015 – Introduction to Mangalore
.

It is 11:40 here on Saturday so I THINK it is about 3:10 PM, but I could be wrong.
.
Why not just check a world clock?
.
Because although a bunch of very bright guys from the engineering college came over with the son of the Founder, Dr Alva, and got me on-line, am apparently not =.
.
So I am typing today’s notes for transmission whenever I do get back on line.
.
Ayurvedic Adventures.
.
I am sitting in a lovely bungalow at Alva’s Ayurvedic Health Resort near Mangalore, India.
.
This morning I awoke in a hotel near the Mumbai airport after about 1 hour of sleep because by the time we got to the hotel after mucking about with Naty’s suitcase and the resistance that anyone there had to finding out where it was and when it would be delivered, by the time we got to the hotel and checked in and I checked my emails, that’s all the time there was left.
.
But Gen. Bert got up even earlier and made, as he does every morning, a pot of steaming hot, fresh Valley of the Moon coffee – www.ValleyoftheMoonCoffee.com.
.
We travel with a small suitcase that has –
.
1. Roasted whole bean Valley of the Moon coffee so that we can have our own organic, delicious and healthful coffee wherever in the world we might happen to be
.
2. a small electric coffee mill so that our coffee is freshly ground
.
3. A stainless steel coffee press (I cannot tell you how many glass ones we shattered no matter how carefully we packed them – never,
NEVER underestimate the capacity of a baggage handler to break your baggage contents!!
.
4. A stainless steel tea kettle. We have one for 110 volt countries and another one for 220 volt countries. What do we do when we are traveling in both types of countries on the same trip? I knew you’d want to know! We take a step down transformer so the 220v current won’t burn out the 110 v kettle.
.
5. A Nissan long stopper stainless steel thermos which keeps the coffee hot for about 18 hours (although it never lasts that long undrunk, I assure you)
.
6. Either a 110v or 220 v power stip so we can plug in the computer, tea kettle, etc., all at the same time.
.
So Gen. Bert gets up about 30 minutes earlier than I do every single day (well, actually 31 minutes earlier since he has this coffee thing down to a level of precision that I do not have the patience or personality for!) and brews us the best cup of coffee on the planet.
.
Then he wakes me us with a cup of it steaming under my nose.
.
Even so, getting up a short 60 for the night can only be said to be a nasty experience.
.
We could have slept a bit longer and skippped breakfast but I am so glad we did not.
.
We had the choice of breakfast in the English breakfast restaurant or the Indian one.
.
Indian, thanks!
.
So off we went to our Indian breakfast which was so oppulent and delicious that it ranks as one of the more memorable meals I can remember.
.
There was a lovely buffet with hot and cold fruits, veggies, idli, a type of steamed grain cake which is light and fluffy and simply glorious with the provided fresh coconut chutney provided.
.
There was a lovely lady makig dosas, paper think crispy creps filled with a vegetarian delight that you break up into an indescribably delicious vegetarian stew (red, with ocra, but the spices were a mystery worth spending a decade to unlock) and at least a dozen different culinary wonders.
.
Our gracious and smilinng waitress, Lakshim, shyly made suggestions and brought us tidbits that she thought we might like. She was right.
.
I told her that I was sure her mother cooked better but since we lacked an Indian mother, we would have to be satisfied with this exuberance of culinary delight.
.
Her smile was beautiful.
.
Then on to the airport where we discovered that we had been misinformed about the weight allowances and paid a whole bunch for excess baggage. But since all of the airfare is on frequent flier miles we were able to accept this quite philosophically, indeed.
.
On to Air India flight to Mangalore.
.
Naty was sitting in the row behined Gen. Bert and me and struck up a conversation with a nice young man who, it turns out, is the regional coordinator for an international organization which gives enormous amounts of money to purchase vaccines to help eradicate polio.
.
So we talked for the entire 1.5 hour flight and by the end, we had agreed to stay in touch and he had agreed to rethink his enormous organization’s enormous committment to the polio vaccine.. He also agreed that he would never think about vaccinating his darling 18 month old .son again.
.
I agreed to send him the paper that I am presenting o the All India Congress on Medical Information and to put him in contact with world-class doctors annd scientists.
.
I also shared with him the notion that for the same money he coud arrang for every home in India to have a 4 oz bottle of Nano Silver, teach them how to use it and spend the money on improving water supplies and sources of protein and other good foods, beefinng up hygeine because those things are what eliminate disease.
.
He was listening and he will respond, I do sincerely hope!
.
I also told him that if he decides to pursue this route, he needs to know that he will lose some friends along the way and that he needs a very thick skin since irrational vitriol will pour upon it on this path.
.
There be dragons.
.
As we were deplaning, he introduced me to his colleague annd said to his friend that he had son very serious things to think about.
.
YES!
.
We were met by two of the doctors from the Ayurvedic center and drove about 30 minutes out of Mangalore on a windy, twisty, curvy road on which rules of the road are a non-concept.
.
It was astonishing. WE ACTUALLY DID NOT DIE, although I really am not sure how that happened (or did not happen).
.
So we get to the massive institution where a homeopathic hospital is having several floors added a Naturopathic hospital, and an Ayurvedic one.
.
We drove up the rust red road to a group of bungalows, one of which is ours. The gardens are lush and beautifully manicured. Less manicured for a very good reason, however,, is a plot of land with more than 1200 species of trees and other plants used in Ayurvedic formulations and possibly for the preparations of the other branches of the healing arts practiced here do.
.
Naty’s room is a separate bungalow below us attached to ours by a set of stai?s.
.
All of it is absolutely lovey.
.
We explained to our hosts that Naty had no clothes because of the missing bag so9 they immediately assigned us a car, a driver and two lovely 5th year medical students to take us shopping.
.
The medical students were women who helped us with ready smiles and familiarity with the large general store…………..
.
My purloined panties got replaced as well as several outfits for Naty.
.
At check out, our hosts would hear of nothing but paying for our selections themselves. We were stunned but they would not allow us to pay a penny for our drygoods.
.
When we got back I had an intake interview with the Ayurvedic and Naturopathic doctors. The first will design my theraies and the second will design my diet.
.
But we did not get to finish because the son of the creator of this center with 8000 students in a dozen different disciplines medical and non medical came up to our cottage with eyes shining and asked if we wanted to see the dancin?.
.
Sure we did, so we walked while Gen Bert rode (they sent a car to fetch him for the 100 yards or so because they knew he was tired) and we saw 1 of 40 temas drumming and dancing in their last performance before a big presentation at a multi-college cultural festival about 3 hours away from here
tomorrow.
.
They introduced Gen Bert to the patients, teachers and students like a rock star.
.
It was lovely.
.
[Note: my internet is down so I cannot send the pictures and video, but I will as soon as I am back on tomorrow]
.
Back to the cottage and more intake interview leading to a program and diet for me. Gen. Bert’s gets developed tomorrow after morning yoga.
.
Then I said, “Tell me, do people ever eat here?”
.
They asked what we would like to eat and I said that if possible, we really would love to include tender coconuts since we love them and they are very good for one.
.
They picked some from behind the house for us!
.
Then the two doctors sat with us while the staff brought dinner to our room for Naty, Gen. Bert and me.
.
All I can say is that it would have given Lakshmi’s mom a run for her money!
.
We had two chapattis, soft round Indian bread of some grain, veggie curry and something of a different color that was amazingly good and, we were assured, good for us.
.
This was preceded by soup made from the leaves of a plant similar to amarylis which tasted like a lentil beef stew but was, I assure you, NOT a lentil beef stew! The meal finished with watermelon and a glass of the whey (the part of milk after the butter is withdraw from it).
.
This has been allowed to ferment and is rich in pro-biotics.
.
Tomorrow, because we are exhausted by travelling today, we will start with yoga at 9 AM. Thereafter, the yoga starts at 6:30 AM.
.
UGH!
.
Tomorrow, if I understood correctly, I get a powder massage and then an oil massage and then a process in which a warm liquid is dribbled on my forehead.
.
I will explain it all as it comes around.
.
More to follow!
.
Yours in health and freedom,
.

Ayurvedic Adventures Report #8
Empathy for a frying pan
.
My very first Ayurvedic therapy today convinced me that I need to care more about pots and pans than I previously had thought to do.
.
After a breakfast of reddish gruel (see photos of turned up noses and faces of distress) we figured out that we could at least sweeten the goo with some of the very sweet orange juice we also had been given and so we did.
.
Later, in the 8 minute video of made of Dr. Manesh Pandit. one of our physicians here, we discuss today’s food with him and he tells us that we counteracted the desired results by adding organge juice. Ah, well. I do not yet understand why adding something to a food that is going to be eaten with that something anyway changes the nature of the two items together but mixing them t=in the stomach does not.
.
We shall see if that comes clear with time.
.
Our doctors came back again, this time to take a detailed history of Gen. Bert.
.
Then, off to our very first therapeutic experiences.
.
We were driving a short way up the hill to the therapy center — so short a drive that the AC did not have time to kick in, which was a pity because the weather is brutally hot and very, very humid.
.
So when we got out of the car and stepped into the therapy building we were delighted to be welcomed by a cool respite of beauty in the midst of the blazing sun.
.
Cool dark tiles and floors relieved by open doors to therapy rooms with pretty interesting apparatus, a several story atrium and more rooms with therapy options around a large central area for a pool with no water but with plenty of circulating air.
.
Leaning over the balustrades of the second floor were a bevy of male and female attendants waving cheerfully and beckoning us up the stairs to their floor.
.
Bert was whisked away by the male attendants (men are always given Ayurvedic therapy by men, usually working in pairs, while women are provided therapy by pairs of women.)
.
I did not get to see what happened to Gen. Bert although he described it as being bathed in oil: the male pair of attendants poured warmed oil all over him and then rubbed it in. He sure looked gleamy and beatific when I saw him two hours later!
.
I was led into a therapy room by two ladies in fresh apricot colored saris with brown aprons over them.
.
They asked me to strip down and I did. They, with two medical students watching intently.
.
It was hard for me to tell just what they were getting out of it, but that was they assignment and so they did just stand they managed to do for the full two hours.
.
What happened to me? I was asked to put up my long hair and then a breathable shower cap was placed over my face and hair. I was asked to lie on a bare wooden massage table and they began. It was like being a frying pan I had a Powder Massage which means that two ladies with some serious muscle power in their arms and backs rubbed what felt like fine gravel at high speed into virtually every inch of skin on my body.
.
Supposedly, that mobilizes the subcutaneous fat and makes me thinner. Well, I am all for that but good heavens! It was nasty and put me in a mind frame of expanded consciousness so that I now understand the feelings of a frying pan when it is being scoured with abrasives.
.
Poor pan! Whatever it did to deserve that must have been seriously bad!
.
However, I did survive it, gritting my teeth as grit was applied to my skin.
.
Finally, they stood me up and dusted me off and then asked me to lie down again.
.
I did and they slowly poured scented oils on my forehead in varying patterns. It was delighted and ALMOST made up for the nastiness of the grit bath.
.
I walked into the shower room and saw two large buckets of water (perhaps 10 gallons each) and a what looked like a large measuring cup.
.
One of the large buckets was filled with water so hot that it was still steaming vigorously. The other was filled with water so hot that I could not put my hand in it.
.
I was supposed to get washed in that?
.
Then, after about an hour of this soothing oil stuff in total silence, still with students standing and watching silently, they told me that I should shower and gave me a really tiny piece of soap.
.
Then I realized that there were some sort of likely shower control on the wall so I turned it on.
.
Out came the finest spray of cold water I have seen so I had to dip hot water into the measuring cup and then spray cold water into it and pour it over myself.
.
I was astonished at the amount of mud that poured off my body! I scrubbed and scrubbed and de-mudded and de-mudded.
.
Then I came back to my bungalow and washed my hair, out of which came enough mud for a small organic garden!
.
And tomorrow we do the same thing again. Twice. With yoga in the morning.
.
Oh, by the way, lunch, dinner, fresh juice-of-something- which was delicious, a stew made of beets which we stirred into a porridge of wheat and carrots (ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS) and watermelon along with the ubiquitous butter milk, which we have 3 times per day.
.
Did I mention that they grow all of their own food and that it is all organic? Most of it, aside from the gruel, is delicious!
.
More to come!
.
Yours in health and freedom,
.

02 February 2015 – Report #9: Another Day at the Center
.

Ayurvedic Adventures

Last evening I went for a walk in the astonishingly beautiful herbal pharmacy where more than 1200 different medicinal ayurvedic plants flourish. They have signs and information and the peaceful early evening after the scorching heat and humidity of the South Indian day had passed.

BIG MISTAKE! I am the blood sucking insect’s favorite meal on the planet and there were a LOT of biters about.

Apparently, this part of the world has a special white mosquito that has a special way of creating a really, really itchy bite. I can absolutely attest to that fact.

Really itchy!

The Alva’s medical retreat has a Homeopathic College, and Naturopathic College and I know that homeopathic Apis will take the itch and sting out of the bite within seconds.

So I asked for some and was told that because it was a Sunday evening, there was no one there who could give it to me. BUT, they said, if I had rubbed my exposed skin with coconut oil, nothing would have bitten me.

Then they said that if I rubbed my skin where it had been bitten with coconut oil, the itch would disappear.

They brought me a little dish of coconut oil (no need to worry about it not being liquid here since they serve it at the dining halls, they would get some for me right away.

They did, I rubbed it and, sure enough, the itch went away immediately. I could not wait to share that precious information with you!

Simple, inexpensive, non toxic and good for your skin at the same time.

This morning, Monday here in Indai, began with yoga at 6:30 AM. While I HATE getting up early, I am determined to do all the parts of the program so I roused, along with Gen. Bert and Naty. They held the sesson on our large front porch and we focused on breathing practices (which oxygenate the brain and body well).
The birds were singing, the world was waking up and the temperature was cool with a fresh but gentle breeze.

So I actually enjoyed something at 6:30 AM!

Then juice (fresh organge) then a half hour later, breakfast was brought to our room.

That same red millet goo showed up but this time it was doctored with some sort of natural sweetner and it was actually quite a good goo!

A good, filling, goo, I might add.

Next came a mud pack on my stomach, abdomen and eyes which was pleasant but a pretty odd experience.

Ice cold wet packs of muslin packed with mud were laid on my body (which felt really, really nice in the heat, by the way) and they gradually became more room temperature wet pack.

After 30 minutes I was decleared done and the attendant took them off my stomach and eyes.

I looked like a racoon who has just had a mud pack around his eys: perfct circles ringed my eyes.

I washed them off and climbed the short but steep distance to the treatment facility.

I waited about 40 minutes for my treatments.

The first was the old frying pan scrubby-dubby routine with grit applied to generate a whole lot of heat by two team mates who rubby-dub-dubbed pretty much every part of me while bearing down and rubbing fast. Allegedly, it mobilizes the subcutaneous fat pad, which would be a very good thing!

I have to tell you that after just a few sessions, my clothes feel a bit roomire. We do not like the scruhb a dub dub, but we sure like the easy zipper action!

That was followed by medicated milk on my forhead.

That is absolutely lovely and soothing to an enormous degree.

Back to the cottage for lunch (some sort of yummie stew thing with watermelon for dessert) and then off to treatment again. This time we were on the Naturopathic side of the street.

In the “Female Hydrotherapy Room” an attendant was waiting for me with a very big jaccuzi tub filled to the absolute brim.

Cold water.

Since I have such a hard time tolerating the heat, part of the objective the doctors have is to “draw off excess heat so I will tolerate the hot climate better”

I do not know exactly what that means, but, hey, we are here to go for it.

So I climbed in and, thanks to Archamedes, displaced my entire volume of water directly onto the feet of the attendant standing there smiling at me.

Guess she likes to have her feet wet.

Anyway, the jacuzzi jets jetted and I thought, well, this is hardly a treatment!.

Then the attendant got out a small fire hose with a huge volume and velocity of water coming out of the 1.5 inch nozzle.

She massaged my body through the water, controlling the intensity by bringing the hose head close to my skin (a lot of pressure) or further away (less pressure).

She had me turn on my front so she should do my back so she could do my front and on each side so she could do the other side.

It took about 45 minutes and was weird and delightful at that same time.

I must admit that I am not suffering from the heat as much today.

So that is two visible improvements in just a couple of days.

More to come! Tomorrow is a brand new day here in the adventurous world of Ayurveda, Naturopathy and India!

Dr. Mahesh Pandit is our Naturopathic physician. He is a simply lovely man, as is Dr. Aithel, our Ayurvedic doctor.

Dr. Mahesh was speaking with me about his medicine and I thought what he was saying was so beautifully put that I interrupted him and ran for my cameral.

His 8 minute video is here, http://youtu.be/XNi5hjiqh8M

Please watch this brief video and enjoy both the information and this gentle and caring person.

More to come

Yours in health and freedom,

03 February 2015 – Middle of the Night Adventure.
.
PS: It is almost time for this week’s edition of the Dr Rima Truth Reports to begin at 3 PM Eastern on www.TheMicroEffect.com. It is 1:30 AM here in India and I wanted to make a quick pit stop before the show began.
.
I have been fighting with internet since my arrival here so the folks who run the place suggested that I use the office in the reception center where the wi fi is great.
.
A couple of minutes before the show I went looking for one of the guards to show me where the bathroom is. He was sleeping in one of the treatment rooms. He woke up the other guard who was sleeping in the other treatment room (behind locked doors which made me feel SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO safe!) and they led me down stairs and around a corner to a locked bathroom.
.
With foot prints and a hole in the ground. For squatting.
.
I’ll wait.
.
Dr. Rima

Here is a note I just placed on Huffington Post Responding to a Pro-Vax Interview with Melinda Gates *
.
I am firmly opposed to vaccines not because I am ignorant and uninformed (I am an MD with a great deal of accurate information which informs my position) but because I am capable of looking beyond the hype and drug company science at the realities of vaccines.
.

.
Let’s start with smallpox and polio, the two shining stars of “disease eradication.”
.
Smallpox has disappeared from the earth, has it?  No, actually, it has not.  The diagnosis of “smallpox” has been officially replaced by “monkeypox”, a viral disease indistinguishable from smallpox because it IS smallpox.  Don’t believe me?  Check out the  New England Journal of Medicine here: http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199808203390811
.
Then there’s polio.  CDC’s website on the topic points out that the principle cause of polio is the polio vaccine.  But we don’t call it “polio” any longer.  We call it “Non Polio Acute Flaccid Paralysis” (NPAFP) which is by every measure except the name, polio.  In 14 months of vaccination before India was declared a “polio free zone” by the WHO on April 9, 2014, 53,563 of her children were crippled or killed by the non-polio polio which shows a direct, linear relationship to vaccination: the more vaccines, the more NPAFP until in the Indian state with the highest polio vaccination coverage, 37 children out of every 100,000 vaccinated develop this disease.  Oh, yes, the vaccine-induced polio is twice as deadly as the wild type.

.
Then there is meningitis: last year the CDC said that since 2010 the vaccination program has “saved” 9 lives. The cost of that salvation is approximately $30Million US per life “saved”.  In an equivalent period, however, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, VAERS reported the following due specifically to the Meningitis vaccine use:
.

20 deaths reported in VAERS
98 life-threatening adverse events
49 cases of permanent disability
3007 hospitalizations
19 extended hospitalizations
2,412 emergency-room visits

.
VAERS captures between 1 and 10% of the adverse events which occur.  Choose the higher figure and you do that math.
.
Epidemiology of the vaccine results is truly horrifying since it: “annually causes in excess of 66 deaths, 161 permanent disabilities, 312 life threatening events, 1,006 hospitalizations, 63 extended hospitalizations and 7,900 emergency room visits”
.
Let’s see… saves 9 lives in 5 years, kills 330 people and permanently disables 806 at a cost of about $1.4Billion US per year.  What a deal!
.
Every single vaccine you look at, once you allow the induced righteous anger to fall from your eyes, is a similar atrocity.
.
All the name calling in the world does not make these facts go away.
.
Oh, yes, autism and the full range of neurological tragedy imposed upon the unwary.  Nearly forgot the mercury and aluminum.
.
Take your propaganda blinders off and look at the data.
.
Frankly, if you are honest, you’ll join the ranks of the anti vaxxers as I have.
.
Ah, just one final thought: Bill and Melinda Gates are huge and very public proponents of drastic population reduction and Bill very famously stated in a TED talk that “properly used …vaccines could reduce the population of the planet by 15%”.  Yep.  His words.
.
Melinda has abandoned her Catholic dogma to push a vaccine that ends the ability of women to ever bear children again calling it reproductive choice, which, after all, I suppose it is.  But the globalists are making the choice.

 Let’s talk about abortion and Health Freedom. 
.
It’s a tough subject and right about now, half the people giving me their attention are getting ready to be angry because I might propose the RIGHT to have an abortion and half the people reading this far are getting ready to be upset because I might propose a woman has NO RIGHT to have an abortion. But before we consider the legal rights and wrongs, we need to consider how we got where we are.
.
Let me set out some historical facts on the subject: I was born in 1943 and for the next 30 years, until Roe v. Wade was decided by the Supreme Court in 1973, abortion was not only a huge taboo and a bad, shameful thing to even contemplate, much less actually do, abortion was also pretty much unavailable for ordinary women unless they resorted to illegal medical procedures, foreign travel or what were literally back alley procedures or attempted desperate , often deadly, measures for inducing one.
.
I entered Medical School in 1966, 7 years before Roe v Wade and, as you can imagine, spent a lot of time in the Emergency Rooms of the hospitals I was assigned to, as well as their obstetrics and gynecology wards.
.
I was mostly trained in the New York City Hospital System.  Conditions were terrible, the doctors varied from horrific to superb and the “teaching material”, which is what patients were called, were in desperate need of whatever services they were lucky enough to receive.
.
Women who get pregnant and do not want to remain pregnant WILL have abortions.  They WILL exert the most fundamental of rights over their own Health Freedom.  I personally have had my hands on the dying body a 14 year old victim of rape and repeated incest with a wire coat hanger protruding from her vagina as she expired.  She died from sepsis (massive infection) but not before she told me that she induced an abortion because she wanted to stay in school so she could become a doctor.
.
She was, in a primitive and ultimately lethal fashion, attempting to exercise her Health Freedom:  the right to total self-determination over her body, its uses, its past, its present and its future. So please understand: while I am concerned with legal rights, I am passionate about pain and suffering. As a doctor, that is my first concern. That is why I believe in Health Freedom, to stop the suffering. As a woman, that is why I believe in Health Freedom, to stop the suffering of unwilling mothers and unwanted children.
.
You believe in Health Freedom.  At least for yourself.
.
Do you have enough charity and jsutice in your heart to offer it to other people?  Do you have enough passionate commitment to the basic right of every human being on the planet  to shape their own body’s experience as they see fit, to look past the rhetoric and both the historical and current patriarchy to see that women, like men, are capable people who can do as they want with their own bodies?
.
Ah, but what about the fetus?  And what about the new born? Are you aware that the United States has the absolute worst child and infant mortality of any developed nation on the planet?
.
Somehow it is fine to let society kill babies by neglect, poverty, maternal malnutrition and idiotic, outdated medical practices once they have reached full term, but it is wrong to allow women to control their own lives?
.
We may not like the way those choices are made (certainly preventing conception is better than accepting the risks inherent in ending it), but we must respect a woman for making the choice. No one else has any right to make that choice for her, to prevent that choice or to insist on it for her so long as she is not a minor.

.
“The United States has a higher infant mortality rate than any of the other 27 wealthy countries, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control. A baby born in the U.S. is nearly three times as likely to die during her first year of life as one born in Finland or Japan. That same American baby is about twice as likely to die in her first year as a Spanish or Korean one. Despite healthcare spending levels that are significantly higher than any other country in the world, a baby born in the U.S. is less likely to see his first birthday than one born in Hungary, Poland or Slovakia. Or in Belarus. Or in Cuba, for that matter. The  U.S. rate of 6.1 infant deaths per 1,000 live births masks considerable state-level variation. If Alabama were a country, its rate of 8.7 infant deaths per 1,000 would place it slightly behind Lebanon in the world rankings. Mississippi, with its 9.6 deaths, would be somewhere between Botswana and Bahrain.”1
.
Our maternal mortality is a similar disgrace.  While most modern industrial countries lose 12 or fewer mothers in delivery, we average 21 per 100,000 live births, right around Brunei, Grenada, Saudi Arabia, Hungary and Iran.2
.
Somehow it makes some sort of social “sense” to allow children to come into a world where they are not wanted, resulting, according to a vast number of studies, in disastrous outcomes for those children without providing for them in any meaningful way while women are prevented from life courses that make sense for them?
.
It also makes “sense” to the very same people who want to control what happens to every woman’s body in the United States and make massive life decisions for her use of that body (sound like life on the plantation to anyone?) that we should impose sanctions on countries so that their children starve to death by the millions.  It makes “sense” to them that we  should use depleted uranium munitions on their countries so that massive numbers of children are either unviable or so damaged that they can never lead lives even vaguely approaching normal.  It makes “sense” to them to pass laws allowing such massive pollution, and such dangerous drugs and vaccines that there may not be any normal DNA left on the planet, including yours, mine and theirs.
.
It makes “sense” to fund programs to destroy the earth, like geoengineering so that ALL of Earth’s children will die, unless they live deep in the happy bunkers below the earth that these mad men have prepared for themselves.
.
You are not invited.
.
And they tell me, and you, your wife, daughter, sister and mother that our lives are restricted – and our choices are criminalized – because they are protecting babies?
.
That is, to me, precisely like telling the assembled slaves in their shacks next to the cotton fields that you are keeping them safe from the problems they would face in the world if they were free.
.
Oh, wait.  That is why we are told we are in an eternal and borderless war at the cost of our lives, our economy and our liberties.  We are being, like the women and the fetuses, protected.  I forgot.
.
Wrap it in any historical or medical or religious or social or mythic justification you like.  If you believe, to your core, as you should, that you own your own body, then any restriction on what you can do with it is inconsistent with that belief.
.
Roe vs Wade was the Supreme Court’s attempt at judicial compromise for a very difficult issue, where deeply-held, sincere beliefs conflict.
.
Under that rule, government has no interest in restricting a woman’s right to choose, at least during the first and possibly the second trimester, until viability outside the womb is an issue. We must continue to support Roe v Wade as the least a civil society can do to protect the right to choose Health Freedom for herself as the woman sees fit.
.
I support the broadest possible right to choose. That is, IMHO, the essence of Health Freedom: the right to choose to use or not use vaccines; the right to use safe nutrients or dangerous prescription drugs for health; the right to control what happens to your health and your body.
.
It also includes the right to breathe uncontaminated air and live in natural weather, eat food that does not impact my DNA in unnatural ways, not have my life shortened by radiation if I do not wish to have it so shortened.
.
To me, these are all the same right: Health Freedom — freedom to determine, without any exceptions, what happens to my body.
.
We have, at least nominally, in the US, the right to express our opinions, positions and beliefs.  We have, for the most part, surrendered the right to respectful discourse.
.
You may disagree with me. Or not. I can only presume that you agree with my right to express my considered views.  I welcome your response.  Please email it to me at releyes3@gmail.com.
.
I extend my defense of freedom to you.  How far do you extend that freedom to others?
.
Yours in health and freedom,
.
