Q. How are Autism and Pharmaceutical Profits alike?
A. They both come from vaccinations.
The CDC stated recently that the immune system of a child could tolerate 1000 vaccines. That’s right, 1000 deadly, profit centers. Here’s one way vaccination is done. If you have other stories to tell about vaccinations being forced on you or your children (or grandchildren, parents, etc.), the Natural Solutions Foundation needs to know. Send an email to dr.laibow@gmail.com with “vaccination” in the subject line. Be sure to include your contact information and whether we have your permission to publish the story.
From World Daily News comes the following harrowing story. Although it happened in 2003, it was another one of the early warning shots across the bow of your liberty and your health.
Now all New Jersey Preschoolers must have flu shots, many of which contain mercury. Hepatitis B Vaccine, administered to infants within hours of birth, when they lack a blood brain barrier, is a potent danger because of the mercury, aluminum and viruses, some of which are known or suspected of causing cancer, which lurk within the syringe. Mandatory vaccination is being forced upon us, one life, one arm, one moment of terror at a time. If that is OK with you, please do nothing at all.
If, on the other hand, you do not accept this new “Reign of Terror”, where our immune systems, not our heads, are being destroyed at the whim of the State, then take action. Click here (http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=21835) to tell your State and Federal legislators that your health decisions are yours, and yours alone to make. Let them know that vaccines are unproven, but well advertised, and present a clear and present danger to the recipient. Let them know that it’s your decision whether you are vaccinated, not theirs. What goes into your skin is your decision, not theirs

Shot forced on newborn
over parents’ objections
Orwellian nightmare for ‘persecuted’ couple
as armed guards ensure infant’s vaccination
Posted: June 18, 2003
1:00 a.m. Eastern
By Diana Lynne
© 2003 WorldNetDaily.com
What was supposed to be a joyous occasion – the birth of their first child – turned out to be an Orwellian nightmare for a young Colorado couple whose newborn was vaccinated for hepatitis B over their religious and philosophical objections, while armed guards stood by to prevent them from intervening.
“It makes me feel like the country I live in is no better than communist China or the old Soviet Union or Nazi Germany, and that’s a very sobering and scary outlook,” the father, who does not want to be named, told WorldNetDaily.
The saga of “Baby M,” as the family calls her to protect her privacy, started with an emergency Caesarean section at St. Mary’s Hospital in in Grand Junction, Colo., on April 2. The couple, who has no medical insurance, had attempted to home birth but wound up rushing to the emergency room after the baby’s position went transverse.
“Baby M” was born without complication. But as the new parents were basking in the afterglow of the birth, a neonatal doctor informed them a vaccination was in order for the baby and pressured the couple to sign a consent form.
“He told me the initial screening test [on the mother] had come back positive for hepatitis B. I told him that was impossible,” said the father. “And he said, ‘Well, I didn’t think it was very likely either so I had them run it again and I’ll probably get those test results back soon. If those test results come back positive again, then I’m going to have to vaccinate the baby.'”
According to the couple’s personal physician, the screening test gives a false-positive 40 to 60 percent of the time.
A call for comment from the neonatal physician was not returned.
After the second test also came back positive, the doctor insisted the couple sign the consent form. Citing text he referenced in a medical guide, he informed the parents that the baby must be vaccinated within 12 hours of birth, if the mother has hepatitis B.
Said the father: “We said that we weren’t going to authorize him to do so because we did not believe she had hepatitis B and that we believe vaccinations would not be good for the baby even if she did, based upon our religious convictions and also medical evidence.”
While not eschewing modern medicine, the couple prefers to avoid it when possible and has a strong conviction against vaccinations.
“We believe in God, and that God has created us in his image. In being created in God’s image, we are given his perfect immune system. We are bestowed with His gift, the immune system. We believe it is sacrilegious and a violation of our sacred religious beliefs to violate what God has given us by showing a lack of faith in God. Immunizations are a lack of faith in God and His protection, the immune system,” the father maintains.
Vaccination danger
The couple had also done extensive research into the potential serious dangers of vaccinations.
WorldNetDaily reported last week that various studies indicate there is epidemiological evidence of a link between neurodevelopmental disorders and mercury exposure from childhood vaccines. Many medical experts suspect vaccines may be behind a growing epidemic of autism in American children. According to data provided by the U.S. Department of Education, most states experienced a doubling of the rate of children diagnosed with full-syndrome autism over the past few years.
“U.S. infants are exposed to mercury levels from their childhood-immunization schedule that far exceed the EPA [Environmental Protection Agency] and FDA [Food and Drug Administration]-established maximum permissible levels for the daily oral ingestion of methyl mercury,” wrote Dr. Mark Geier, president of the Genetic Centers of America, in a recently published study in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons.
According to Geier, the EPA limit is 0.1 micrograms of mercury per kilogram body weight per day.
“It doesn’t take a genius to do the calculations when on their day of birth children are given the hepatitis B vaccine, which is 12.5 micrograms of mercury,” Geier told Insight magazine. “The average newborn weighs between six and seven pounds, so they would be allowed 0.3 micrograms of mercury – but in this one shot they are getting 12.5 micrograms. That’s 39 times more than allowed by law.”
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 12,000 infants are infected with hepatitis B every year by their mother during birth. Infants and children who become infected with hepatitis B are at the highest risk of developing life-long infection, which often leads to death from liver disease and liver cancer. Approximately 25 percent of children who become infected with life-long hepatitis are expected to die of a related disease as adults.
The National Network for Immunization Information, or NNii, a resource for parents recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics, or AAP, maintains the vaccine is “safe.”
NNii addresses the risk of mercury in the vaccine in a fact sheet posted on its website. It explains that Thimerosal, a derivative of mercury, has been used in “small amounts” as a preservative in some vaccine and states “there is no evidence that any child has been harmed by exposure to the amounts of Thimerosal in vaccines.”
“In addition, the risk of disease from not immunizing a child is greater than the risk of exposure to low levels of mercury in Thimerosal-containing vaccines,” the fact sheet states, but then adds the U.S. Public Health Service and the AAP recommended reducing or eliminating the use of Thimerosal-containing vaccines “to make safe vaccines even safer.”
NNii states “infants are at high risk for hepatitis B infection if their mothers are infected with the virus” and recommends these infants be given the hepatitis B vaccine “within 12 hours of birth.”
NNii adds that most children who become infected with hepatitis B are born to mothers who are not infected with hepatitis B, and as a result, further recommends all children be vaccinated.
The AAP recommends the first dose of the hepatitis B vaccine be administered to infants born to infected mothers “before they leave the hospital.”
‘Emergency’ hearing
Faced with opposition from the parents over the vaccination of “Baby M,” the doctor called in hospital social service worker Joni Vohs, who reportedly threatened the parents with the loss of custody of their baby if they did not comply with the vaccination schedule.
Next, hospital administrators called in attorneys who persuaded Chief District Court Judge Charles Buss to hold an emergency, after-hours hearing at the hospital on the basis that the baby’s life would be in danger if she was not vaccinated within hours. The family was given 15 minutes’ notice of the hearing and was unable to secure competent legal help in time.
As the father describes it, he went up against a 10-person panel of attorneys, social workers, hospital administrators and the doctor who argued for the immediate vaccination.
The father pleaded for second opinions. He also pleaded for the judge to wait for the results of a more confirmatory test which were scheduled to arrive in 16 hours.
During the four-hour hearing, the father cited the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence and Colorado revised statute, which states there are religious, medical and philosophical exemptions to medical treatment.
Rather than share the 19-year-old’s passion for U.S. constitutional history, the lawyers reportedly mocked him.
“When I was reading, the lawyers were whispering back and forth almost laughing at me,” the father told WorldNetDaily. “In retrospect, reminding them of the Constitution hurt me more than it helped.”
The judge ruled the baby should be vaccinated immediately and also ordered her put into protective custody with the Mesa County Department of Human Services, which the parents were told meant social-service agents had the ability to intervene in the medical treatment of the baby at any time and could take physical custody of the baby if deemed necessary to “protect the child’s best interests.”
A call for comment from Buss was referred to judicial administrator Judy Vanderleest. Vanderleest told WorldNetDaily the judge would not comment on the case. She also said the emergency, after-hours hearing held at the hospital was the first such hearing held that she could remember.
Matt Weber, an attorney who represented St. Mary’s Hospital told WorldNetDaily he was “not authorized to speak on behalf of the hospital on this case.”
With armed guards lining the ICU, the first of three ordered vaccinations was administered to the baby. According to the family’s physician, the baby immediately exhibited the typical side effects of the vaccine.
A day later, the third hepatitis B screening on the mom came back negative.
By the time the second shot was due to be administered, the father had succeeded in persuading county social worker Dan Overmeyer the vaccination posed more risk than good for the baby’s health. Overmeyer opted to not administer any more shots and recommended the release of “Baby M” from protective custody.
Overmeyer was unavailable for comment.
While the baby appears to be doing fairly well, the parents fear the damage is already done, and can only wait and wonder when the adverse effects of the vaccine will appear.
“Most of the doctors that I’ve talked to from around the country that know about vaccinations have said that it takes months and sometimes years for things to show up,” the father told WorldNetDaily. “The scary thing is that there are babies that just die out of the blue supposedly for no reason. … There’s a lot of evidence that these SIDS [Sudden Infant Death Syndrome] victims are actually a result of vaccination.”
The Institute of Medicine, a medical research organization that provides health information to the government, released a report last March that concluded all available evidence shows no link between vaccines and unexplained infant deaths.
Religious persecution?
Having recently graduated from college with an associate’s degree in telecommunications engineering, the father has now launched a campaign to alert expecting parents about his family’s ordeal. He posted their story online with a link to an article outlining the research behind the dangers of vaccinations.
“I want [parents] to know that their rights are no longer being upheld by our government,” he said. “If people don’t speak out and voice their disapproval and talk to their congressman and make a big deal out of things like this then we will find ourselves very soon in a sort of police state where we have no individual freedoms and the government tells us what to do, what not to do and basically raises our children for us.”
The website includes a link for readers to make contributions to a legal defense fund. The family hopes to raise sufficient funds to sue the hospital. They feel both the hospital staff and the judge persecuted them for their religious conviction against vaccinations.
“The doctor and hospital thought we would be easy targets as we were young and penniless. They do not like people who try to avoid the system and they don’t like anyone to question whether or not their practices are truly in the best interests of the patient,” the father said. “Our aim in legal action would be to get a precedent that protects families from this ever happening again.”
Kim Williams, the director of marketing at St. Mary’s Hospital declined to discuss the case, citing the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, which outlines patient-confidentiality rules.
Social worker Joni Vohs adamantly denied the hospital would persecute anyone over their religious beliefs or discriminate against them because of a lack of insurance.
“St. Mary’s is a Catholic hospital. We treat everybody regardless of their ability to pay. It’s a very compassionate and caring place.”
After stressing she was bound by confidentiality rules not to discuss the details, Vohs said the “Baby M” case triggered her recollection of another case in which a 13-year-old girl died a “very slow death” because the family belonged to a church that “believed in prayers over medical treatment” and failed to seek treatment for her until she was almost dead.
“Having worked in child protection for 25 years, to allow a child to suffer or die a horrible death is child abuse,” Vohs told WorldNetDaily.
Colorado legislators passed a law as a result of that case which allows the court to step in and override parents’ religious beliefs in the event of a medical emergency. Vohs said this law was applied to the “Baby M” case.
“The hospital doesn’t do anything on a whim. There’s a lot of steps that need to be taken. There was a legal hearing … and the law was followed,” she said.
She also added that the family’s story posted online “stretches and alters” the truth in the case.
“Baby M’s” father argues there was no emergency and emphasizes that had the staff simply waited the 16 hours for the third, more confirmatory test of the mother’s blood to come back negative, the entire “nightmare” could have been avoided.
HON. RON PAUL OF TEXAS
Before the U.S. House of Representatives

Introducing the Health Freedom Protection Act
Madam Speaker, I rise to introduce the Health Freedom Protection Act. This bill restores the First Amendment rights of consumers to receive truthful information regarding the benefits of foods and dietary supplements by codifying the First Amendment standards used by federal courts to strike down the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) efforts to censor truthful health claims. The Health Freedom Protection Act also stops the Federal Trade Commissions (FTC) from censoring truthful health care claims.
The American people have made it clear they do not want the federal government to interfere with their access to dietary supplements, yet the FDA and the FTC continue to engage in heavy-handed attempts to restrict such access. The FDA continues to frustrate consumers’ efforts to learn how they can improve their health even after Congress, responding to a record number of constituents’ comments, passed the Dietary Supplement and Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA). FDA bureaucrats are so determined to frustrate consumers’ access to truthful information that they are even evading their duty to comply with four federal court decisions vindicating consumers’ First Amendment rights to discover the health benefits of foods and dietary supplements.
FDA bureaucrats have even refused to abide by the DSHEA section allowing the public to have access to scientific articles and publications regarding the role of nutrients in protecting against diseases by claiming that every article concerning this topic is evidence of intent to sell a drug.
Because of the FDA’s censorship of truthful health claims, millions of Americans may suffer with diseases and other health care problems they may have avoided by using dietary supplements. For example, the FDA prohibited consumers from learning how folic acid reduces the risk of neural tube defects for four years after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended every woman of childbearing age take folic acid supplements to reduce neural tube defects. This FDA action contributed to an estimated 10,000 cases of preventable neutral tube defects!
The FDA also continues to prohibit consumers from learning about the scientific evidence that glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate are effective in the treatment of osteoarthritis; that omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of sudden death heart attack; and that calcium may reduce the risk of bone fractures.
The Health Freedom Protection Act will force the FDA to at last comply with the commands of Congress, the First Amendment, and the American people by codifying the First Amendment standards adopted by the federal courts. Specifically, the Health Freedom Protection Act stops the FDA from censoring truthful claims about the curative, mitigative, or preventative effects of dietary supplements, and adopts the federal court’s suggested use of disclaimers as an alternative to censorship. The Health Freedom Protection Act also stops the FDA from prohibiting the distribution of scientific articles and publications regarding the role of nutrients in protecting against disease.
This legislation also addresses the FTC’s violations of the First Amendment. Under traditional First Amendment jurisprudence, the federal government bears the burden of proving an advertising statement false before censoring that statement. However, the FTC has reversed the standard in the case of dietary supplements by requiring supplement manufactures to satisfy an unobtainable standard of proof that their statement is true. The FTC’s standards are blocking innovation in the marketplace.
The Health Freedom Protection Act requires the government bear the burden of proving that speech could be censored. This is how it should be in a free, dynamic society. The bill also requires that the FTC warn parties that their advertising is false and give them a chance to correct their mistakes.
Madam Speaker, if we are serious about putting people in charge of their health care, then shouldn’t we stop federal bureaucrats from preventing Americans from learning about simple ways to improve their health. I therefore call on my colleagues to stand up for good health care and the First Amendment by cosponsoring the Health Freedom Protection Act.
One of wonderful priviledges I enjoy is that you write to me with your questions, suggestions, ideas, priase, discontents and tell me your actions. I read every single email and respond to each one although sometimes I get behind, so if there is a delay, bear with me: right now I have over 3000 unread emails on my computer but I plowing through them! I want to share something terriffic with you today. Bruce wrote a letter to Susan Davis, the Representative from California District 53 who has introduced the health-hostile HR 3156. I want to share this letter with you: you will find it at the end of this section of today’s blog.
If you remember the blog I published Treating Our Congressional Offices With Effective Communication I suggested some effective letter writing concepts including telling your Congressional delegate what you are concerned about in your own words, making it clear why it matters to you and making your point clearly.
Bruce took time to write a letter, clearly not his first, which I want to share with you to inspire you to write directly and strongly to your Congressional delegates. You can read about the bills to support and oppose and use our email engine to send your letters. I have received several emails saying something like, “I really wanted to send the emails about these bills but I don’t want to write 6 letters. Can’t you just write them for me and make it easy for me?” Well, yes, of course I can but there are two problems to this: 1. Congress pays a whole lot more attention to individualized emails than to bulk emails and 2. YOUR story, your point, your truth does not get shared with Congress! And, believe it or not, Congress actually listens to an avalanche of voices speaking their own truth. Enough voices, enough truth and we become a deafening chorus of power. Form letters dilute our effort. So, here’s a suggestion: write one letter for all of the bills to be opposed. Then customize it for each of the bills that you are writing about. Change the number, change the particular reason that it is a bad idea to correspond to that bill. Telling your story in each one of them is OK because it IS your story or your reason for treasuring both your health and your health freedom.
Even better, of course, is for you to visit the members of Congress who represent you in their home offices and tell them your story. Click on
So here are two grass roots action strategies for our struggle to protect and preserve our health freedoms against all comers: yours letters and your visits to Congress. Congress does not underestimate the importance of these acts, neither should we. And when you do visit your Congressmen and women, drop me an email at rima.laibow@healthfreedomusa.org to let me know whom you have visited and what his/her response was to your visit and your position on the bills and issues.
Here is Bruce’s letter to Susan Davis:
________________________________________________________________________________________
Dear Representative Davis;
There are times-obviously-when people of good intentions disagree with each other.
This is one of those times. Actually, disagree, is too ‘light’ a word for what I feel and think.
I am outraged beyond belief at your introduction of H.R. 3156. I have written you before regarding the deaths and illnesses associated with prescription drugs which have a definite and documented history of the harm. HR 3156 appears misdirected. It comes at a time when the side effects emanating from properly prescribed and ingested prescription drugs result in the needless death of more than 100,000 Americans annually.
WHERE is legislation that would adequately protect the public from unsafe over-the-counter or prescription drugs? Relatively troublesome drugs like Vioxx and Bextra have been returned to pharmacy shelves with black box warnings that put the burden on consumers to check for potential side effects.THERE IS NO SUCH HISTORY ASSOCIATED WITH HERBS !!!!!!!!! I dare you to show where there has been any ‘adverse effect’ as defined in your bill that is SPECIFICALLY attributable to a ‘herb or botanical’. There is NONE. And since ‘botanical’ means “The seed of a plant or tree, regarded as the means of reproduction, together with its envelope” are you going to have growers of tomatoes reporting to the ‘Secretary’?
Add to that the provision which specifies “‘‘(3)(A) For purposes of clause (A) or (B) of subparagraph (1), the Secretary shall consider a dietary supplement or dietary ingredient as presenting an unreasonable risk of illness or injury if the Secretary determines that the risks of such product outweighs its benefits, as indicated by a relative weighing of the known and reasonably likely risks of the product against its known and reasonably likely benefits. In the absence of a sufficient benefit, the presence of even a relatively small risk of a serious adverse health effect to a user may be considered by the Secretary as unreasonable.”
WHERE are the checks and balances? I don’t need the ‘Secretary’ telling me what I can and can’t ingest of a herb or botanical. This is nothing but a clever disguise at trying to have the U.S. conform to the EU standards which are being challenged in ourt. AND it has been shown that the ‘toxilogical studies’ used in such testing in the EU(and the Euro.Parliament doesn’t have a say in the EU which is why the EU Constitution got shot down-“taxation without representation” ) are those used for chemicals NOT ‘herbs and botanicals’. AND all of this is the result of ‘bio-pharma’ companies in Europe lobbying the EU. Don’t we have enough problems here in the U.S. with pharmaceutical companies without adding fuel to the fire? Simply stated why are you introducing legislation for which there is not a problem?
An excellent example of the harm such wording ‘herbs and botanicals’ will cause is what has happened regarding kava kava. The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) issued just a similar warning, asking physicians to report adverse reactions associated with kava kava supplements, an anti-anxiety herbal product. The public was also warned to report any side effects and the FDA warning was published in newspapers and on TV news reports. Later, published studies cleared kava kava from any suspicion, but the damage had been done. The public backed away fom kava supplements based upon the bulletin issued by the FDA, and today kava farmers in the South Pacific have plowed up their fields. A $25
million product was destroyed by FDA meddling. The same destruction could result from the passage of HR 3156. Your legislation appears to have been written without adequate prior evidence that vitamin, mineral or herbal products pose a mortal or serious risk to humans. One wonders at your motivation. And this clause “(B) A determination by the Secretary under clause (A) with respect to the risk of a product may be made on the basis of any science-based evidence of risk, without THE NEED TO PROVE that the substance has actually caused harm in particular cases.” is ludicrous. IF ‘science based’ testing was without chance of error, maybe, but the ‘out’ of ‘no need to prove’ gives the type of power to the ‘Secretary’ that dictators have; are you now saying you approve of dictatorial actions on the part of government without the need to prove such actions are needed?
Be assured I will let ALL of San Diego know what this legislation will do and whose legislation it is. And I will work diligently to make sure that the
Senate never let’s this legislation see the light of day as worded.
