  • More Tori Quips

    Sitting at the table seemed to make Tori talk nonstop just a few minutes ago. I finally said to her: "Tori, your tongue is loose at both ends!"
     She turned to look at me with a surprised look. "My tongue?" She stuck it out. "No it isn't, Mother!"

  • Pandemic panic still doesn't add up

    The feds, Big Pharma and doctors who should know better are all lining up to tell you how safe the swine flu shot is.

    Don't you fall for it! Almost every day, I'm seeing new stories about misled people who roll up their sleeves for that "safe" vaccine... and then pass out, get sick or even die.

    Let's get real here and look at the facts, not media hysterics.

    A 14-year-old athlete in Virginia can barely walk after his swine flu shot. He's struggling with Guillain-Barre syndrome after his vaccine. A young woman in France is facing the same battle – again, right after a swine flu shot.

    By some estimates, there was an eight-fold increase in Guillain-Barre syndrome, a rare and debilitating autoimmune disorder that can lead to paralysis and death, after the 1976 swine flu vaccination panic.

    Are we facing the same thing now? It's hard to say, but clearly something is going on with these dangerous needles.

    In China, two people dropped dead right after getting vaccinated. In New York, nurses gave swine flu shots to at least two kids without permission from their parents – sending one of the kids, a 6-year-old epileptic, to the hospital. And U.S. medical workers are fighting courtroom battles to protect their rights and avoid mandatory flu shots.

    The contradictions here are endless. On the one hand, the Centers for Disease Control has advised against testing for H1N1 flu since July.

    On the other, a new swine flu detection test was just given fast-track approval by the FDA.

    The CDC says we don't need to count individual cases anymore... yet everywhere you turn, there are new numbers being tossed around from all directions.

    How do we know people are sick if we're not counting them? Why do we need a new and unproven test for the disease if we no longer need to test for it?

    Now, Big Pharma is saying maybe people only need half a dose of the swine flu vaccine to get full protection... after telling some people they'd need as many as two or even three doses (Side note: I'll bet my lab coat you'll pay just as much for that half a dirty dose as you do a full one).

    Plenty of people have already gotten that now-excessive full dose... with many children getting two shots. Does that mean they've gotten quadruple what they need?

    Yes, there's a lot more to this picture than they're letting any of us see... and it may be years before the truth finally comes out.

    You've been warned.

    And that's not the only health scandal – keep reading to find out how the government is failing to protect you from a common toxin.

    Common chemical linked to erectile dysfunction

    A common chemical in plastics is making men a lot less manly.

    A study in China finds that bisphenol A – better known as BPA – can cause erectile dysfunction and other sexual problems.

    It's a crime that we're still debating the safety of this toxic chemical, with our own government playing blind, deaf, dumb and stupid. This is quickly turning into one of the biggest health scandals in generations.

    This estrogen-like chemical has been used for years to make plastics stronger and prevent corrosion in cans. Pretty much all of us have been exposed to it, many of us in amounts much greater than what the Environmental Protection Agency thinks is safe.

    Believe me, it's not safe. BPA has been linked to diabetes, heart disease, liver problems, brain disorders, hormonal disruption, early puberty in girls, irregular heartbeat, fertility problems and, now, erectile dysfunction.

    The Chinese study looked at humans, not lab rats – real men who worked in a factory that produces BPA, and compared them to men who worked in BPA-free factories.

    The researchers found a direct connection between BPA exposure and sexual dysfunction. The greater the exposure, the greater the odds of sex problems.

    What's more, they found that even workers who were at the BPA-producing factory for just one year had increased odds of sexual dysfunction.

    Sure, they may have been exposed to higher concentrations of this toxin... but many of us have been exposed to steady amounts of BPA since birth. Until recently, it was a common ingredient in plastic baby bottles – yet another reason you should be extra thankful if your mother had the good sense to breastfeed you.

    Meanwhile, Uncle Sam is acting more like an old man with dementia... ignoring the real data as this junk continues to flow through bottles, cans and our own bodies. More than a year ago, the FDA actually issued a draft report saying BPA was probably safe. I'm guessing they did this in between naps.

    If you're wondering how they could possibly reach that conclusion, it's because they used studies provided by the chemical industry.

    They wouldn't lie to us... would they?

    Some people aren't waiting. After state lawmakers threatened to intervene, the major manufacturers of baby bottles have stopped using this toxic chemical. If they can make the switch without destroying their industry, I'm pretty sure all the other companies that use this garbage can find their own BPA-free solutions as well.

    In the meantime, don't eat anything out of a can or bottle if you can avoid it. Most of the stuff inside is the worst form of imitation food anyway, so you're not missing much... except a chance at being exposed to a toxic chemical.

    Talking truth about toxins,

  • This morning, just to see if she remembered anything, I asked Tori if Jesus is in her heart. Without a pause she said:
    "No, I frew (threw) Him up in da sky an put Him back in heaven.

    That was the end of it. No more discussion.

  • It all began, with that kid on my lap. All squishy and cozy. Big eyes and little pert mouth. Curled up in a heap with her blanket wrapped snug in my arms, I whisper sweet things of motherliness in her ear.
     Then began the fun when I tell ask if she loves Jesus. "No."
     "Well, you should."
       "Jesus is gone."
     "Jesus went to heaven and He's in your heart. If you love Him when you die you can go to heaven to see Him, and Christian, and Zonya and F.Dale."
        "Is Jesus in your heart? Do you love Jesus?"
    "Yes."
        "When I die, I get to see Him?"
    "Yes"
         "I'm going to take Jesus out of your heart!" she says as she stuffs her hand down my shirt to "get" Him in her little fat fist. Then she stuffed it down in her shirt saying, "I'm going to put Him in MY heart!".
      She did this twice then clasps her hands tightly over her chest saying, "Don't take my Jesus' out of my heart!!".  
      If only you could see the serious looks on her face, the big eyes and bobbing head while talking. The silly grin and voice that go with it. It makes it all the more fun.

      A few minutes later in the kitchen you would have thought she had a little too much coffee. I told her to get her bowl, spoon, cereal and milk. In and of it's self, these are not humorous tasks. But she raced in a monkey fashion from cupboard to table for each item. Very bravely went for the milk, pulled it off the shelf only to find it was heavier than she thought and it crashed to the floor. Thankfully it did not spill. All the while she jabbers to herself.
    Belle had slept in a little and when she showed her sleepy face, Tori jumps up from her chair and repeated the process for her sister. She looked like an overcharged little monkey. Everything she has done this morning was in overdrive, with extra expression (as if she needs that) and "punch". I half expected her to pull the walls in and it would have been done with very good reasoning behind each wall! With very wide eyes, bobbing of head and a mouth turned up in the corner telling me the reason that wall had to come down! But, so far, the walls are standing.
       As for myself, I drank coffee quick in the event I would need the extra energy only to discover I had too much and was jittering around. Pacing as I talked on the phone, felt like I could explode. It's leaving now and I feel a crash coming on...bother.
      My kids even got a hold of that coffee. I walked into the kitchen and Belle told me, "I needed a drink so I drank some of your coffee." Such a natural thing you know.
      I looked up and Tori was just putting the cup back on the cupboard which is too high for her to do with safety and had coffee spilled over one eye and down her fat cheek. But, the coffee cup was safely on the counter so no harm done.
     I am currently daubed "Grandma" by my very own kids. Normally its Matilda so I don't know if I've been upgraded or degraded today. Earlier Tori was calling me "Mother" in a very grave tone.
     Blogging the morning isn't half as interesting as living it but I made an attempt to let others see into my world of Tori. I have been so humored lately with that child combined with her intellectual sister.

    H1N1 Swine Flu Vaccine Facts to Consider
    In order to make informed vaccine decisions, you must know what the
    ingredients are in the vaccine. There are no long-term safety studies done
    on any vaccines, including the flu vaccines. This new flu vaccine will be
    released without adequate safety studies.
    Common Flu Vaccine Ingredients include:
     Egg protein, many are allergic to eggs
     Formaldehyde- Formalyn (formalin) is a 37 percent solution of
    gaseous formaldehyde which includes methanol. (Used in vaccines
    as a tissue fixative) Formaldehyde solution (formalin) is considered a
    hazardous compound and it is vapor toxic.
     Polysorbate 80 shown to cause infertility in mice
     Sodium Chloride and Calcium Chloride
     Monosodium Glutamate (MSG):C5H8NNaO4, a Stabilizer MSG -
    MSG intolerance: There have been numerous studies of allergies
    and/or sensitivities to MSG, attributed to the free glutamic acid
    component, which has been blamed for causing a wide variety of
    physical symptoms such as migraines, nausea, digestive upsets,
    drowsiness, heart palpitation, hair loss, asthma, anaphylactic shock,
    rapidly increasing diabetes, and many other complaints.
     Potassium phosphate- a soluble salt which is used as a fertilizer, a
    food additive and a fungicide. It is a source of phosphorus and
    potassium. It is also a buffering agent.
     Thimerosal- a form of mercury still found in some multi-vile vaccines.
     Polyoxidonium- Synthetic polymers and nanomaterials display
    selective phenotypic effects in cells and in the body that affect signal
    transduction mechanisms involved in inflammation, differentiation,
    proliferation, and apoptosis. When physically mixed or covalently
    conjugated with cytotoxic agents, bacterial DNA or antigens,
    polymers can drastically alter specific genetically controlled
    responses to these agents.
     Squalene- An oil based adjuvant that has never been approved in the
    US as safe, can cause blindness, autoimmune dysfunction and can
    inhibit sperm production. More than two dozen peer-reviewed
    scientific papers from ten different laboratories throughout the U.S.,
    Europe, Asia, and Australia have been published documenting the
    development of autoimmune disease in animals subjected to
    2
    squalene-based adjuvants. Novartis will make a flu vaccine using
    MF59 consisting of Squalene, Tween 80 - A recent study (December
    2005) discovered that Tween80 can cause anaphylaxis, a sometimes
    fatal reaction characterized by a sharp drop in blood pressure, hives,
    and breathing difficulties.
     Span85 another oil
     Human Diploid Tissue- organ and tissue from aborted baby tissue is
    now used in manufacturing many vaccines.
     Vaccines given in the past have contained H1N1 viruses; this is not a
    new virus. (novaccine.com)

    It all started in Feb, 2009
    In the News:
    Feb 27, 2009 Toronto Sun, A large consignment of seasonal flu vaccine,
    which was circulated to 18 European countries, has been infected with
    deadly live avian flu virus. The Company that released contaminated flu
    virus material from a plant in Austria, Baxter International, confirmed Friday
    that the experimental product contained live H5N1 avian flu viruses. And
    an official of the World Health Organization’s European operation said the
    body is closely monitoring the investigation into the events that took place
    at Baxter International’s research facility in Orth-Donau, Austria.
    The contaminated product, which Baxter calls “experimental virus material,”
    was made at the Orth-Donau research facility. Baxter makes its flu
    vaccine including a human H5N1 vaccine for which a license is
    expected shortly at a facility in the Czech Republic.
    News: From the Center of DiseaseControl - What are the signs and
    symptoms of this virus in people?
    The symptoms of novel H1N1 flu virus in people are similar to the
    symptoms of seasonal flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or
    stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. A significant number
    of people who have been infected with this virus also have reported
    3
    diarrhea and vomiting. Also, like seasonal flu, severe illnesses and death
    has occurred as a result of illness associated with this virus. It’s not known
    at this time how severe novel H1N1 flu virus will be in the general
    population. In seasonal flu, there are certain people that are at higher risk
    of serious flu-related complications.
    The CDC is recommending that all people take 2 regular flu vaccines and
    one H1N1 vaccine this year. Giving multiple Flu vaccines has never been
    tested for safety. Never have children or adults taken 3 vaccines in one flu
    season.
    When Medicare began to cover the flu vaccine for seniors, the hospital
    visits for seniors went up dramatically that year from complications.
    1997 Swine Flu Vaccine - The last time we had a swine flu H1N1 vaccine,
    there were 25 deaths from the vaccine and only one death from the flu.
    The vaccine program was pulled and considered a disaster. For
    information, see Congressman and medical doctor, Ron Paul, on YouTube,
    CNN and ABC Reports.
    Some major concerns that have not been address:
     Fast tracked by the FDA, very little testing for safety
     Will only be tested a few weeks on a few hundred adults and children
     Going to give it to the children and pregnant mothers first
    One-size fits all- babies will get the same vaccine as a 280lb man;
    this is not sound science and carries grave risks for the children or
    those who are immune sensitive.
     We now have a whole generation of children who are immune
    compromised and are suffering with autism, ADHD, seizure disorders,
    diabetes and asthma. These children could potentially have severe
    reaction to this vaccine.
     First responders will be next, police, firemen, EMS, nurses…
    4
     2001 a bill was passed that totally protects any vaccine manufacture
    free of all liability from injury or death!
     Drug companies were given billions of tax dollars to develop
    experimental flu vaccines last year
     Many of these vaccines are coming from Europe where some
    ingredients are not approved in the United States for use in the
    vaccines. Squalene is one example.
    The Childhood Vaccine Safety Act of 1986 set up very clear safety
    guidelines to include the following measures.
    1. Provide written benefit and risk information to parents before giving
    vaccines
    2. Accurate written record of manufactures name and lot number must
    be kept
    3. Childs medical record must have this information recorded
    4. Close monotoring after vaccinations and reporting of all serious
    health problems that develop after vaccines and all adverse events
    must be reported to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System
    VAERS.
    QUESTION: How are the schools going to insure that these safety rules
    are followed? How are they going to comply with this act if they line
    children up in schools like cattle and vaccinate them? Are parents going to
    have the right to say NO?
    There are reports across the country from people who have gotten the flu
    shots in the past that they have had the worst flu ever!
    There is compelling evidence that people who get 5 consecutive flu shots in
    a 10 year period are 10X more likely to get alzheimers because of the
    accumulation of aluminum and mercury. Hugh Fudenburg, Immunologist.
