Glenn Edward Greenwald[1] (born March 6, 1967) is an American journalist, author, and lawyer.

In 1996, he founded a law firm concentrating on First Amendment litigation. He began blogging on national security issues in October 2005, while he was becoming increasingly concerned with what he viewed to be attacks on civil liberties by the George W. Bush Administration in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks.[2][3] He became a vocal critic of the Iraq War and has maintained a critical position of American foreign policy.

Putin Ready to Talk With Zelensky

Kremlin Says Putin Is ‘Ready’ for Talks With Ukraine

Zelensky called on Putin to sit down for talks and 'stop the death'

The Kremlin said Friday that Russian President Vladimir Putin is “ready” for talks with Ukraine and offered to send a delegation to Belarus as the Russian attack continued for a second day.

Later, the Kremlin said Ukraine suggested Warsaw, Poland, as the venue for the negotiations. Now, Russia claims it hasn’t heard anything more from the Ukrainians. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said there is currently a “pause” in contact between the two sides.

Earlier in the day, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky issued a statement calling for talks with Putin. “I would like to address the President of the Russian Federation once again. Fighting is going on all over Ukraine. Let’s sit down at the negotiating table to stop the deaths of people,” he said.

The Russians have made clear that their main justification for the invasion is Ukraine’s alignment with NATO. Mykhailo Podolyak, an aide to Zelensky, told Reuters that Kyiv is ready to hold talks with Russia on Ukraine’s “neutral status.”

“If talks are possible, they should be held. If in Moscow they say they want to hold talks, including on neutral status, we are not afraid of this,” Podolyak said. “We can talk about that as well.”

Putin spoke with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday and told him that Russia is ready for talks with Ukraine. “Russia is ready to negotiate with the Ukrainian side at a high level,” the Chinese Foreign Ministry said in a statement on the call.

While Putin said he’s ready talks, the assault continues, and he also appealed to the Ukrainian military to overthrow the government in Kyiv, which he called a “gang of drug addicts and neo-Nazis.

How Smallpox Really Got Eradicated!

 How to End Vaccine Mandates — A History LessonAnalysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola

Fact Checked February 23, 2022



STORY AT-A-GLANCE

If you’re wondering how we’ll ever put an end to these draconian COVID-19 mandates that are destroying lives and sanity across the world, take heart. History can serve us in this regard

Over 135 years ago, in 1885, England became the host to a massive anti-vaccination movement that ultimately resulted in people overturning the government’s compulsory vaccination rule

Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in opposition to compulsory smallpox vaccinations.

Many were fined and jailed, but in the end, the government relented and abolished the mandate

The trucker protest in Canada and elsewhere is almost identical to what happened during smallpox vaccination campaigns more than a century ago, when mass protests and peaceful disobedience broke the government’s tyrannical hold

The Leicester Model was proven successful in the wake of that 1885 anti-vaccination protest and has been standard ever since. By quarantining infected patients and improving public hygiene, smallpox was finally eradicated

If you’re wondering how we’ll ever put an end to these draconian COVID-19 mandates that are destroying lives and sanity across the world, take heart. History can serve us in this regard. The parallels between the COVID-19 pandemic and its countermeasures that of previous smallpox pandemics are fascinating to behold, and therein we can also find the answer to our current predicament.

Smallpox, a highly infectious and disfiguring illness with a fatality rate around 30%,1 has been with us for many centuries, probably thousands of years. During the last four centuries, forced mass vaccination has been a recurring countermeasure relied on by government during these kinds of outbreaks, often with devastating results, and there have always been large portions of society that opposed it.

In the 1700s, Boston, Massachusetts, was hit by a series of outbreaks, and the introduction of a vaccine led to violent rebellion by those who believed it was dangerous and a violation of God’s will. Local newspapers were rife with disputes for and against the vaccine.2

The hypodermic needle had not yet been invented at this time, so the vaccination consisted of rubbing some cowpox pus into an open wound on the arm. Dr. Zabdiel Boylston, who introduced the inoculation at the urgings of Rev. Cotton Mather, was forced into hiding and was eventually arrested. Mather’s home was firebombed.

One of the largest protests of the century occurred in 1885 in Leicester. Leicester’s government was replaced, mandatory vaccination abolished, and public health measures rejected by the medical community were implemented. These measures were highly successful, and once adopted globally ended the smallpox epidemic, something most erroneously believe arose from vaccination. ~ A Midwestern Doctor

In 1862, it was Los Angeles, California’s turn. Compulsory vaccination was again rolled out, and anyone who refused was subject to arrest. Infected people were terrified of being forcibly quarantined in a “pest house,” miles outside the city limits, and for good reason. It was a place where you were dumped to die, with not so much as a bedsheet for comfort.3
The Anti-Vaccination Rebellion of 1885

In the decades to come, smallpox outbreaks were occurring all over the world, and forced inoculation was typically the answer, even though it had its own risks. In 1885, England became the host to a massive anti-vaccination movement that ultimately resulted in people overturning the government’s compulsory vaccination rule.

As reported by the BBC, December 28, 2019, mere weeks before COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic:4

“In the late 19th Century, tens of thousands of people took to the streets in opposition to compulsory smallpox vaccinations. There were arrests, fines and people were even sent to jail. Banners were brandished demanding ‘Repeal the Vaccination Acts, the curse of our nation’ and vowing ‘Better a felon's cell than a poisoned babe.’ Copies of hated laws were burned in the streets and the effigy was lynched of the humble country doctor who was seen as to blame for the smallpox prevention program.”

A Substack user going by the moniker “A Midwestern Doctor”5,6 details this part of history, explaining why it matters to us today. He writes:7

“What is occurring now in Canada and other places is almost identical to what happened with the smallpox vaccination campaigns over a century ago, and I believe it is critical we understand these lessons from the past and it is vital this message gets out to the Truckers.

Briefly, the original smallpox vaccine was an unusually harmful vaccination that was never tested before being adopted. It increased, rather than decreased smallpox outbreaks. As the danger and inefficacy became known, increasing public protest developed towards vaccination. Yet, as smallpox increased, governments around the world instead adopted more draconian mandatory vaccination policies.

Eventually, one of the largest protests of the century occurred in 1885 in Leicester (an English city). Leicester’s government was replaced, mandatory vaccination abolished, and public health measures rejected by the medical community were implemented. These measures were highly successful, and once adopted globally ended the smallpox epidemic, something most erroneously believe arose from vaccination.”

The alternative countermeasure implemented in Leicester involved quarantining infected people and notifying anyone who’d been in close contact with the patient. They also used “ring vaccination” in which hospital workers who took care of infected patients had been inoculated.8

As a result, when smallpox broke out again between 1892 and 1894, Leicester got off lightly, with a case rate of 20.5 cases per 10,000. In all, the town had 370 cases and 21 deaths — far lower than the towns of Warrington and Sheffield, where vaccination rates were high.

On the other hand, there were well-vaccinated areas that had lower case rates and fewer deaths, and areas with low vaccination rates that also fared worse in this regard, so vaccination was probably not the determining factor either way.

In 1898, the U.K. implemented a new law that allowed people to opt out of vaccination for moral reasons. As reported by the BBC, this was “the first time ‘conscientious objection’ was recognized in U.K. law.”9 Now, we have to fight to regain that right yet again, all around the world.

Dissolving Illusions

“A Midwestern Doctor”10 goes on to discuss Dr. Suzanne Humphries’ 2009 book, “Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, and the Forgotten History,” in which she shatters the notion that vaccines (and certain other medical interventions) have been single-handedly responsible for improved health and increased life spans. As a nephrologist (kidney specialist), Humphries noticed a pattern among her patients.

Many who experienced kidney injury or kidney failure had recently received a flu vaccine. It was a singular common denominator. So, she began to challenge the hospital’s routine practice of vaccinating patients. Humphries was roundly ignored and was ultimately forced to leave. The book grew out of her frustration with people who insisted that vaccines had eliminated scourges like polio and smallpox. Once she delved into the research, what she found was something else entirely.

With regard to smallpox and smallpox vaccination, living conditions during the industrial revolution were horrid. Plagues and infectious outbreaks were commonplace, not because of insufficient vaccination, but because sanitation was near-nonexistent and people, including children, were overworked and underfed. Early progressives believed deadly plagues could be prevented by improving living and working conditions, and they were correct.

We know this because other plagues for which there were no vaccines disappeared right along with smallpox and polio. While the medical industry eventually embraced vaccination, and increasingly over time treated it as something that could not be contested or questioned, Humphries’ book details the opposition.

Smallpox Opposition

As it turns out, many doctors have spoken out against smallpox vaccination and published data demonstrating its dangers. For example:11

In 1799, Dr. Woodville, after having administered the vaccination to many children, stated that “in several instances, the cowpox has proved a very severe disease. In three or four cases out of 500, the patient has been in considerable danger, and one child actually died.”

In 1809, the medical observer reported more than a dozen cases of often fatal smallpox, contracted as long as a year post-vaccination. The 1810 medical observer contained 535 cases of smallpox after vaccination (97 of which were fatal), and 150 cases of severe vaccine injuries.

An 1817 London Medical Repository Monthly Journal and Review reported that many who received the smallpox vaccination were still getting sick with smallpox.

In 1818, Thomas Brown, a surgeon of 30 years and ardent proponent of vaccination, after vaccinating 1,200 people stated: “The accounts from all quarters of the world, wherever vaccination has been introduced … the cases of failures are now increased to an alarming proportion.”

In 1829, The Lancet described a recent smallpox outbreak, stating: “It attacked many who had had small-pox before, and often severely; almost to death; and of those who had been vaccinated, it left some alone, but fell upon great numbers.”

In 1845 George Gregory M.D. reported: “In the 1844 smallpox epidemic, about one-third of the vaccinated contracted a mild form of smallpox, but roughly 8% of those vaccinated still died, and nearly two-thirds had severe disease.”

In 1829, William Cobbett, a farmer, journalist and English pamphleteer, wrote: “Why, that in hundreds of instances, persons cow-poxed by JENNER HIMSELF have taken the real small-pox afterwards, and have either died from the disorder, or narrowly escaped with their lives!”

An 1850 letter to the Hampshire Telegraph and Sussex Chronicle claimed there were more admissions to the London Small-Pox Hospital in 1844 than during the smallpox epidemic of 1781, before vaccination began, and that one-third of the deaths from smallpox were in people who had previously been vaccinated.

The Moving Goal Post

Once it became clear that the smallpox vaccine was incapable of providing long-lasting immunity as initially promised, the medical profession moved the goal post and started justifying vaccination on the basis that it could protect against more severe illness, even if it couldn’t provide lifelong “perfect” immunity the way recovering from the infection could.

This has been a basic mantra ever since, and we’ve gotten a double-dose of it during this COVID pandemic. Within months, the goal post was switched from “two doses are near-100% effective,” to “two doses wear off in six months and leave you more vulnerable to severe illness thereafter.” Some bargain!

Corruption of Vital Statistics Protect Vaccination Narrative

What’s worse, the trend of not reporting vaccine injuries due to “allegiance to the practice,” as noted by Henry May in the Birmingham Medical Review in January 1874, has continued unabated. According to May, vaccinated people who died were typically recorded as having died from some other condition, or were erroneously listed as “unvaccinated.”12 As noted by “A Midwestern Doctor”:13

“This corruption of the vital statistics creates many challenges in assessing the efficacy of immunization, and is also why many authors have noted no metric can be used to assess COVID-19 immunizations except total number of deaths (independent of cause) as this cannot be fudged.

Of note, a different significant overlap exists with the early polio campaigns (also detailed within ‘Dissolving Illusions’), where ‘polio’ diagnostic criteria was repeatedly adjusted to meet the political need for polio cases.

Governments responded to this skepticism by progressively using more and more force to mandate vaccination. Vaccination was made compulsory in England in 1853, with stricter laws passed in 1867. In the United States, Massachusetts created a set of comprehensive vaccination laws in 1855 (which created the Supreme Court case Jacobson v. Massachusetts a case that is frequently cited about state enforced vaccination).

Lemuel Shattuck emphasized the need for vaccination and pushed for house-to-house vaccination to be enforced by the authority of the City of Boston in an 1856 report, also noting ‘The City has already provided that no unvaccinated child shall be admitted into the public schools.’

A situation emerged I term the ‘Vaccine positive feedback cycle.’ Keep in mind that most systems in nature are instead negative feedback systems. In these, when something occurs, it self-corrects the system and turns it off rather than accelerating it, as occurs in a positive feedback system. The cycle is as follows:

A concerning disease exists.-

Immunization is cited as a potential solution to the problem.-

An immunization campaign is conducted and makes the problem worse.-

As the problem is now worse, the need for immunizations to address it increases and another campaign is conducted.-

This makes the problem worse.-

This increases the need for more aggressive measures to increase immunization.-

This makes the problem worse and further perpetuates the cycle, before long leading to very questionable governmental policies designed to force unwilling parties to vaccinate.

The underlying drivers of this process seem to be an unquestionable faith in vaccination, a conviction dating back to the days of smallpox, that vaccinating an ever-increasing proportion of the population through vaccination can end epidemics (now termed herd immunity), and the government having limited options to address the issue besides immunizations and governmental force.”

The Effects of Forced Smallpox Vaccinations

“A Midwestern Doctor” continues describing the effects of the government’s insistence of forced smallpox vaccination:14

“In accordance the positive feedback cycle, these results were found everywhere. Within the United States, as smallpox worsened in Boston, in 1855, the government made enacted strict enforcement of vaccination.

It was followed by the epidemics of 1859-1860, 1864-1865, 1867 (these were all similar in size to earlier epidemics), and then infamous 1872-1873 epidemic which dwarfed all previous epidemics (proving fatal to 1040 persons, at a rate of 280 deaths per 100,000 people).

By the end of 1868, more than 95% of the inhabitants of Chicago had been vaccinated. After the Great Fire of 1871 ... strict vaccine laws were passed, and vaccination was made a condition of receiving relief supplies. Chicago was then hit with a devastating smallpox epidemic in 1872 where over 2,000 persons contracted smallpox, with over 25% dying, and the fatality rate among children under 5 being the highest ever recorded.

A 1900 medical article discussed vaccination in three European nations. In England, of 9392 small-pox patients in London hospitals, 6,854 had been vaccinated and 17.5% of the 9,392 died.

In Germany ‘official returns show that between 1870 and 1885 one million vaccinated persons died from small-pox.’ In France, ‘every recruit that enters the French army is vaccinated. During the Franco-Prussian war there 23,469 cases of small-pox in that army.’

An 1888 article in the Encyclopedia Britannica describing Prussia’s strict vaccination practices throughout the population (including mandatory re-vaccination for school pupils), noted: ‘Notwithstanding the fact that Prussia was the best revaccinated (boosted) country in Europe, its mortality from smallpox in the epidemic of 1871 was higher (59,839) than in any other northern state.’”

Other countries reported the same smallpox trends, including Italy and Japan, where smallpox death rates after successful vaccination campaigns were unprecedented. Vaccine injuries, including deaths, were also common. It is shocking how closely the miserable failures of the smallpox vaccines mirror the COVID jabs.

One of the most common causes of death after smallpox vaccination was erysipelas, a painful bacterial skin disease. An 1890 Encyclopedia Britannica article reported that smallpox vaccination had triggered a disastrous epidemic of erysipelas. Other side effects included jaundice, syphilis, tuberculosis, eczema vaccinatum (a rare and lethal skin condition).

Massive Historic Public Protests Over 135 Years Ago

As skepticism of and opposition against smallpox vaccination grew, enforcement increased. Vaccine refusers were fined, jailed and sometimes vaccinated by force. Parents were even forced to vaccinate their second child even if the first one died from the inoculation. Intermittently, riots would break out. A Midwestern Doctor details what happened next:15

“In 1884, 5,000 court summons had been issued against the unvaccinated, a case load that completely overloaded the court system. Letters in local newspaper at this time revealed widespread disdain for the irrationality of the procedure and the medical profession’s steadfast defense of a dangerous practice that had clearly failed over the last 80 years.

Tensions reached a boiling point and on March 23, 1885, a large protest estimated at 80,000 to 100,000 people erupted. It was composed of citizens of all professions from across England and receive support from citizens across Europe who could not attend it.

The procession was 2 miles long, with displays showing the popular sentiments against vaccination present throughout the crowd. The demonstration was successful, and the local government acceded to and acknowledged their demands for liberty. Many of the description of this protest (and the jubilant mood there) are extremely similar to reports I have read of the Trucker's protest.

Mr. Councilor Butcher of Leicester addressed the protest and spoke of the growing opinion that the best way to get rid of smallpox and deadly infectious diseases was to use plenty of water, eat good food, live in light and airy houses, while it was the municipality’s duty to keep the streets clean and the sewers in order. He emphasized that if this was not done, it was unlikely any act of Parliament or vaccination could prevent the diseases.

That year, following the protest, the government was replaced, mandates were terminated, and by 1887 vaccination coverage rates had dropped to 10%. To replace the vaccination model, the Leicester activists proposed a system of immediately quarantining smallpox patients, disinfection of their homes and quarantining of their contacts alongside improving public sanitation.

The medical community vehemently rejected this model, and zealously predicted Leicester’s ‘gigantic experiment’ would soon result in a terrible ‘massacre,’ especially in the unprotected children, who were viewed by government physicians as ‘bags of gunpowder’ that could easily blow up schools (along with much other hateful and hyperbolic rhetoric directed at them).

This smallpox apocalypse would forever serve as a lesson against vaccine refusal the medical profession bet their stake upon. [But] the predicted catastrophe failed to emerge and Leicester had dramatically lower rates of smallpox in subsequent epidemics than other fully vaccinated towns (ranging from 1/2 to 1/32).

Various rationalizations were put forward to explain this, but as the decades went by, a gradual public acceptance of Leicester’s methods emerged, but even 30 years later, a New York Times article still predicted a disaster was right around the corner and it was imperative Leicester change their methods.

Fortunately, the value of Leicester’s novel approach of quarantining and improvement public hygiene was recognized and gradually adopted around the world, leading to the eventual eradication of smallpox.”

Keep in mind that these protests occurred when the population was much lower, so as a percentage of the population it was much higher. In 1885, the U.K. population was only 36,015,500,16 so a protest with 100,000 was just under 0.3% of the entire population. As of February 16, 2022, today’s U.K. population is 68,471,390,17 so to match that protest, percentage-wise, about 205,400 would have to hit the streets.

History Repeats Itself

Those who don’t know their history are bound to repeat it, and it seems that’s precisely what we’ve allowed to occur in the past two years. Many doctors predicted and warned that the pandemic would be prolonged and worsened by rolling out non-sterilizing vaccines (i.e., vaccines that do not prevent infection and transmission). And that’s precisely what we’ve witnessed.

Predictions of devastating side effects have also come true. And, as resistance to the shots grew, draconian mandates followed. History tells us forced vaccination is not the answer. History also tells us how to get out from underneath a tyrannical government’s insistence on forced vaccination.

The answer is peaceful noncompliance. The answer is standing together, en masse, and saying “No more. Enough.” The truckers in Canada, the U.S., Belgium and elsewhere have the right idea, and the rest of us need to join and support them, in any way we can.

“Like the smallpox vaccination campaigns, the COVID-19 immunization campaign has been so egregious it has inspired a large global protest movement with the large scale current protests being very similar to those that occurred 135 years ago,” A Midwestern Doctor writes.18

“My hope is that this movement can remember the lessons from the past and carry them forward to now so a future generation does not have to repeat our mistakes.”

If you want to learn more about the fraud of all vaccines, I would encourage you to carefully review Suzanne Humphries’ excellent book, “Dissolving Illusions.” In my view it is the best book out there on the subject.


Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, and The Forgotten History

Not too long ago, lethal infections were feared in the Western world. Since that time, many countries have undergone a transformation from disease cesspools to much safer, healthier habitats. Starting in the mid-1800s, there was a steady drop in deaths from all infectious diseases, decreasing to relatively minor levels by the early 1900s. The history of that transformation involves famine, poverty, filth, lost cures, eugenicist doctrine, individual freedoms versus state might, protests and arrests over vaccine refusal, and much more.Today, we are told that medical interventions increased our lifespan and single-handedly prevented masses of deaths. But is this really true?Dissolving Illusions details facts and figures from long-overlooked medical journals, books, newspapers, and other sources. Using myth-shattering graphs, this book shows that vaccines, antibiotics, and other medical interventions are not responsible for the increase in lifespan and the decline in mortality from infectious diseases. If the medical profession could systematically misinterpret and ignore key historical information, the question must be asked, “What else is ignored and misinterpreted today?”Perhaps the best reason to know our history is so that the worst parts are never repeated.

Here are some reactions from people who read the above book:

Dr. Suzanne Humphries deserves an award for bringing the load of vaccine record and history to a finely orchestrated; and lengthy, book.

The parent of 4 children, I had never questioned vaccines before 2 of our children had a severe reaction to their shots at a joint appointment in which my daughter received her Kindergarten shots and our son (then not yet 3) received the shots required between 18m-3years, which was the DTaP & Hep A.

Our son had immediate symptoms he wasn’t well but I was pregnant with our 4th child and thought he was just being a normal attention seeking kid. He kept complaining, “my legs.” And wouldn’t Assist when I carried him out and looked zoned out. When I put him down to walk himself he flopped and said he couldn’t and I assumed he was just babying it.

He slept for three days straight which I called Abbie worried and they said it was Normal and then began a zoned out period in which he also lost control of his bowels, wouldn’t talk, seemed confused when asked anything and began to wAil and whine at every response. At the same time our daughter began to have manic behavioral symptoms, everything touching her she was frantic, couldn’t explain her thoughts before loosing her point and becoming irrational and angry, lost control of her Bowels and began complaining of back and leg pain so much she’d wake in the night screaming it hurt.

Her reactions merited a few visits to the ER; one 4 days after the vaccine, in which each time they reasoned her symptoms away as a flu like symptom and didn’t think she had meningitis because she lacked some of the symptoms. I mentioned she had the MMR vaccine 4 days prior, so how could she have meningitis and they didn’t really answer me. It made me curious so upon a follow up the next morning my doctor didn’t really answer my question either, so I asked for some papers to take home to read on it and the shots, since Our son was still in lethargic/sick mode after his and she was very animated about his symptoms being normal. So much so it was overkill and I wasn’t incinerating his was abnormal, (he hadn’t lost his bowels or began any other behavior aside from sleeping and being generally quiet and zoned out yet at that point).

We began reading packet inserts online and I was appalled to see how many adverse reactions there could be. We decided to ask our doc again for information so we could make a rational choice seeing how our 4th son was to be born very soon ( he was born 14 days after their reaction), and one nurse said they had a nurse who dealt strictly with vaccine and medicine questions she’d send in to talk to me, but no one came. The next nurse I asked to remind them to get her looked confused like she had no clue who I was talking about. When my doc came in I asked her and she didn’t confirm there was any nurse and said she had papers I could have. When she came back she said the papers were from a book she forgot she loaned to another patient and hadn’t gotten back, but wasn’t able to tell me the name of it.

It was way to many weird situations for us not to thing there was something there. As each kid got worse visits became shorter and no one Brothered to suggest we test anything, they just said it was normal and it happens at the age our son was at. He has since been diagnosed with Autism.

Luckily for our newest son he has never been vaccinated and truly is healthy. He hasn’t had ear infections, respiratory issues like our other 3 children had. We read all the way through his first year, saying to ourselves, “ we’ll keep reading a little more then we can always get his vaccines next month after we know everything and can feel comfortable”

The more we read the more we had to read more and more, and time just flew by, the literature we read along the way deterring us from vaccinating each time. He is now a year and a half old and runs, jumps off things, says over 40 words and has no allergies.

We are happy with our decision and continue to learn as we are recovering our son from Autism with great success using diet, Dr Andy Cutlers Chelation Therapy Protocol and boosting his immune system so far and still weighing opinions for our daughter, who is still being looked at for issues that arose. So far she’s diagnosed with Emotional Disturbance Disorder, has a lot of set backs in her abilities in reading, so much so she’s in the lowest group now in school despite our nightly practice and teachers support. She has had several MRI’s, one of which we were refered to a neurosurgeon to correct nerve damage in her spine from the vaccine; although no one will admit it’s from the vaccine, not on paper anyways. It’s infuriating.

Parents should all be informed of their doctors education on vaccine ingredients, reactions, law and vaccine approval processes. If they choose to vaccinate that is their choice, just like it is ours to no longer. Free from bullying, free from judgement, free from ignorance.

Attached are images of some of the many books I’ve read that you may also find enjoyable. Emords book is extremely detailed, depressing in explaining specific laws and cases by which they were governed and very eloquent.

This is a must read for everyone! After the first read -through, I had to put it away for a while. I felt duped by the medical establishment and the government. My whole world was based in medicine and what I read was a hard pill to swallow. I had to re-evalute everything I had been taught. I have read it in its entirety several times since and reference it on a weekly, sometimes daily, basis. Looking back, I can now see how uninformed/misinformed I was. Ignorance may be bliss, but knowledge is power. Knowledge can save your life. Had I read this before I got pregnant, I am positive that my son and I would not have suffered vaccine injuries and would not be dealing with the ramifications of injecting toxic substances into our bodies. I highly recommend this book!

Stay with me--this IS about the book:
Whenever I purchase anything from Amazon, I read every single critical review of a product prior to purchasing. This is a wonderful strategy for securing a superior product. Usually I get to the 15th - 20th negative review when I can qualitatively generalize the predominant complaint or common attribute of the critical population. For example, with a masticating juicer I am researching, I've noticed that critical reviewers hadn't read the proper cleaning instructions of the device, thus the most common complaint is one specific "failing" part. Now I REALLY want the juicer, because I have deduced that even the negative reviews are mostly positive ones, so long as you are able to read instructions and apply what you've learned... which a lot of folks seem to struggle with. I think this book is another clear example that this methodology is a best practice for finding a great book; it is a superb literature review of research that busts the "safe and effective" mantra. The critical reviewers are obviously taking to the comment postings with something to prove, or possibly dont understand literature review/what the book is intended to achieve, or are unconsciously defending their own irreversible parenting choices. If the question is "Did the authors provide a central location for threading together years of information that you'll never otherwise experience?" Then my five-star answer indicates : "Absolutely."
Also, I have spoken to Dr. Humphries recently in a 2 hour wellness consult. I have never in my life been treated so respectfully. She truly is a wealth of knowledge and she will answer any questions you have about the book. If you are truly using this text to make a decision about whether or not to vaccinate your kids, I would suggest printing/copying what you find to be the "most well-grounded" critical reviews here, and address them with her directly via a consult. She will not get defensive and she will speak to you like a human being... which is a lot different than your local physician. Good luck getting more than 5 minutes with that doctor, and if they don't laugh in your face--that's a "success."
If you actually read my entire review--> I hope your decisions and chosen path, whatever they may be, work out for the best for you and for your family. <3

Como a fé em Deus nos ajuda a ser resilientes diante das dificuldades da vida

Dennis Edwards

A palavra resiliência significa a capacidade de se recuperar rapidamente das dificuldades; dureza. É um termo usado para descrever pessoas que se recuperam de experiências e perturbações negativas. Resiliência é a capacidade de se tornar forte, saudável ou ter sucesso novamente depois que algo ruim acontece. Resiliência é a capacidade de resistir às adversidades e se recuperar de eventos difíceis da vida.

A pergunta que meu amigo me fez foi "Como é que a fé em Deus pode ser um fator para nos dar resiliência?" Aqui está como eu respondi.

Se tivermos fé em Deus, o Deus da Bíblia, o Deus de amor visto através da vida de Jesus Cristo, como nossa crença fundamental, então sabemos que Deus nos ama. Sabemos que, em última análise, Ele está no controle de tudo o que acontece em nossas vidas. Sabemos que Ele não permitirá que nada nos aconteça, a menos que isso possa ser usado para contribuir para o nosso bem. Portanto, podemos colocar os óculos de Romanos 8:28 e olhar para todas as circunstâncias que acontecem em nossas vidas através desses óculos:

“Sabemos que todas as coisas contribuem para o bem daqueles que amam a Deus.”

Se amarmos a Deus, não permitiremos que a amargura ou o ódio invadam nossa vida quando passarmos por provações e dificuldades. Não cairemos na falta de fé ou na dúvida. Por quê? Porque sabemos que Deus pode usar todas as situações em nossas vidas para algo bom. Podemos enfrentar quaisquer dificuldades que, como resultado, se aproximem de nós de uma forma positiva. Usamos Romanos 8:28 para filtrar todas as nossas experiências de vida.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn na Rússia e Wormbrandt na Romênia, e outros homens e mulheres de Deus, passaram por extrema perseguição e anos na prisão ou em campos de trabalhos forçados. Eles passaram pelas experiências mais horríveis. Mas porque eles tinham aquela fé em Deus, eles o fizeram. Seu relacionamento com Deus os ajudou a superar as circunstâncias físicas que estavam experimentando. A chave para sua resiliência era a sua fé. Eles sabiam que Deus existia e que os amava. A chave para enfrentar as dificuldades da vida e ser capaz de se recuperar e seguir em frente é saber que um Deus amoroso existe. Nós, portanto, sabemos que Ele tornará todas as situações para o nosso bem, contanto que continuemos a amá-lo.

Romanos 8: 35-39 nos diz que nada pode nos separar do amor de Deus que está em Cristo Jesus nosso Senhor. Vamos ler a epístola do apóstolo Paulo:

“Quem nos separará do amor de Cristo? A tribulação, ou a angústia, ou a perseguição, ou a fome, ou a nudez, ou o perigo, ou a espada? Como está escrito: Por amor de ti somos entregues à morte o dia todo; fomos reputados como ovelhas para o matadouro. Pois estou persuadido de que nem a morte, nem a vida, nem os anjos, nem os principados, nem as potestades, nem as coisas presentes, nem as coisas futuras, nem a altura, nem a profundidade, nem qualquer outra criatura serão capazes de nos separar do amor de Deus, que está em Cristo Jesus nosso Senhor. ”

Saber que Deus nos ama nos ajuda a ver as coisas de uma perspectiva diferente de quem não tem fé. Mesmo que eu esteja tendo um problema, mesmo que meu filho tenha morrido se afogando no mar, ainda sei que Deus me ama. Eu sei que Ele tem uma razão para permitir que a morte do meu filho ocorresse. Portanto, vou confiar Nele. Vou deixar Deus transformar o mal que aconteceu, conforme Ele opera em meu coração e mente, em algo bom em minha vida. Eu sei que todas as coisas contribuem para o bem daqueles que amam a Deus, todas as coisas, até a morte de meu filho.

Deus usou aquela experiência terrível para ajudar a fazer mudanças em minha vida, mudanças na maneira como fui pai de meus filhos. Ele usou essa experiência para partir meu coração e torná-lo suave. Ele usou essa experiência para me tornar um pai mais amoroso, gentil e manso, como um pai deveria ser. Eu falhei com meu filho que morreu. Eu não estava lá quando ele mais precisava de mim. Eu nem mesmo tinha uma linha de comunicação muito boa com ele. Achei que Deus cuidaria dele. Mas Deus me fez parceria com Ele nesse trabalho, e eu negligenciei isso.

Em meu fracasso, clamei a Deus que me perdoasse e me ajudasse a fazer melhor com meus outros filhos. Que experiência triste de se passar. Mas, eu precisava de uma experiência terrível para me acordar em relação ao estado lamentável da minha paternidade. Eu precisava de uma experiência como essa para ver o triste estado do meu coração. A minha atitude, as minhas prioridades não estavam certas. A maneira como eu interagia com meus filhos precisava de grandes melhorias. Eu precisava aprender o caminho paciente do amor, em vez da impaciente regra da força.

Lembro-me do famoso empresário cristão e apoiador de Dwight L. Moody, cujas quatro filhas morreram em uma viagem à Inglaterra. O navio em que navegavam foi atingido por um cargueiro e afundou em pouco tempo. Apenas sua esposa sobreviveu. O pai ficou para trás porque surgiu um problema de negócios quando eles estavam para desembarcar de Nova York. Como resultado daquele trágico acidente, Horatio G. Spafford escreveu uma bela canção, que tem sido um conforto e força para incontáveis ​​crentes, "Está Bem com Minha Alma."

“Quando a paz acompanha o meu caminho como um rio, Quando as tristezas se estendem como as ondas do mar; Seja qual for a minha sorte, Tu me ensinaste a dizer: Está bem, está bem com a minha alma ... Embora Satanás me esbofeteie, embora as provações venham, Que esta bendita segurança controle, Que Cristo considerou meu estado de desamparo, E derramou Seu próprio sangue pela minha alma ... Meu pecado, oh a bem-aventurança deste pensamento glorioso! Meu pecado, não em parte, mas no todo, está pregado em sua cruz, e eu não o carrego mais, Louvado seja o Senhor, louvado seja o Senhor, ó minha alma! ... Para mim, seja Cristo, seja Cristo daqui para viva: se Jordão acima de mim rolar, Nenhuma dor será minha, pois na morte como na vida, Tu sussurrarás a Tua paz à minha alma ... E Senhor apresse o dia, quando a fé estiver à vista, As nuvens se revolverão como um pergaminho; A trombeta soará, e o Senhor descerá, Mesmo assim, está bem com a minha alma ... (Refrão :) Está bem (está bem), com a minha alma (com a minha alma), está bem, está bem com minha alma. ”

Alguns anos depois, Spafford tomou a decisão de abandonar a congregação presbiteriana e começou as reuniões de oração em sua própria casa. Sua seita messiânica foi nomeada “Os vencedores” pela imprensa. Ele e sua esposa formariam mais tarde uma colônia cristã comunitária em Jerusalém, envolvida em trabalho humanitário. Como muitos daqueles dedicados a Cristo, nossos corações precisam ser quebrantados antes que a água do amor de Deus possa ser derramada para refrescar as pessoas. Como resultado dos golpes mortais da vida, um rico empresário deixou tudo para seguir a Cristo e levar o amor de Jesus aos muçulmanos e judeus em Jerusalém. Deus usa eventos terrivelmente tristes para trabalhar em nossos corações e produzir o fruto que Ele deseja em nosso carácter e em nossas vidas.

Na segunda carta do apóstolo Paulo aos coríntios, ele mostra o mesmo espírito resiliente ao escrever,

“Estamos atribulados de todos os lados, mas não angustiados; estamos perplexos, mas não em desespero; perseguidos, mas não abandonados; derrubados, mas não destruídos. Levando sempre no corpo a morte do Senhor Jesus, para que também a vida de Jesus se manifeste em nosso corpo ... Por essa causa não desfalecemos; mas embora nosso homem exterior pereça, nosso homem interior é renovado dia a dia. Pois nossa leve aflição, que dura apenas um momento, opera em nós um peso de glória muito maior e eterno; enquanto não olhamos para as coisas que são vistas, mas para as coisas que não são vistas: porque as coisas que são vistas são temporais; mas as coisas que não se vêem são eternas. ”

Quando temos um relacionamento pessoal com Jesus, podemos enfrentar qualquer experiência devastadora que a vida nos traga, com a fé de que Deus está conosco e a usará para o nosso bem. Somos capazes de ser resilientes, porque nossos olhos estão no céu,

“... de onde também esperamos o Salvador, o Senhor Jesus Cristo: o qual mudará o nosso corpo vil, para que seja semelhante ao seu corpo glorioso, de acordo com a operação pela qual ele pode até mesmo submeter todas as coisas a ele mesmo."

Ao olhar para Jesus, que é o autor e consumador da nossa fé, sabemos que a vida é transitória, que o céu é real, que um dia teremos novos corpos como o de Cristo, portanto, não tememos o que a vida nos pode fazer. Podemos abraçar Romanos 8:28 em sua plenitude e saber que verdadeiramente todas as coisas contribuirão para o bem de nós que amamos a Deus. Podemos, portanto, correr com paciência a corrida que nos é proposta. Podemos superar as circunstâncias da vida com plena confiança de que Deus é amor e trará bons frutos em todas as nossas experiências de vida, se O mantivermos em primeiro lugar em nosso coração, mente, corpo e alma.

Deus é bom o tempo todo e todas as coisas realmente contribuem para o bem daqueles que amam a Deus.

O Poder da Resiliência

 

Compilação

Sentada no consultório do terapeuta após meses de tratamentos contra o câncer, eu estava frustrada com a perda de força, energia, clareza e sanidade. Eu mal terminava um tratamento e já começava outro. Quimioterapia. Radioterapia. Mais e mais cirurgias.

As lágrimas escorriam pelo meu rosto enquanto eu desabafava minhas dúvidas e frustrações. Finalmente, terminei. O terapeuta parou por um momento, me entregou uma caixa de lenços de papel e [então disse:] “A resiliência pode se esgotar.”

Essa afirmação me pegou desprevenida Sempre pensei em resiliência como algo infinito. Se você for resiliente, a primavera sempre volta e o manancial sempre se renova. Ele explicou que fontes de água, poços, secam dependendo da quantidade de água retirada.

 Com trinta anos de experiência em aconselhamento, ele tinha visto pessoas como eu vez após vez. Pessoas que viviam como se a gravidade não se aplicasse, como se não tivessem limites, logo se viram sem resiliência, usando e esgotando suas reservas. ... Como eu poderia me levantar novamente? Como eu poderia aumentar a resiliência depois de ficar completamente vazia?

Meu terapeuta me ensinou que ter mais resiliência significa reconhecer minha finitude, incluindo minha limitação de recursos e energia. Eu tinha que dar tempo à minha mente, corpo e espírito para descansarem e se renovarem. Esse autocuidado não é egoísmo, mas sim boa mordomia. ...

Para ter mais resiliência foi preciso passar por uma mudança de mentalidade. Eu tinha que dispensar mais graça a mim mesma pelo que eu poderia fazer em um dado dia, bem como pelo que eu precisava deixar de fazer. A roupa suja e os pratos se amontoavam, mas comecei a sentir uma confiança mais profunda na capacidade de Jesus de curar de dentro para fora.

Não sei pelo que você tem passado ou o que está enfrentando, mas sei que Jesus quer e é capaz de trabalhar para o seu bem e para a glória de Deus. Jesus é a fonte da sua renovação, a fonte para ter uma vida sendo amado, viver sem medo e viver livre.

Vários anos depois dessas sessões de terapia, ainda estou aprendendo a crescer em resiliência. Ainda estou cultivando maneiras de nutrir profundo descanso e renovação com Cristo.

Amadurecer com resiliência não significa que você não perderá um pouco do seu ânimo. Jesus continua capaz e disposto a trabalhar em sua vida, quer você se sinta vazio ou pleno, enfrentando desafios ou bem abastecido, fraco ou forte. Hoje, você pode confiar em um Salvador que é a fonte de sua eterna resiliência.—Margaret Feinberg

O que é resiliência?

       Resiliência é a qualidade de ser capaz de se adaptar a mudanças estressantes na vida e “sacudir a poeira” das dificuldades. A resiliência é uma resposta a tragédia, crise ou outras mudanças que alteram a vida. Ela nos permite seguir em frente apesar da perda. Mostrar resiliência não significa que você não seja afetado ou não se importe com a mudança de vida. Resiliência é a capacidade do coração humano de passar por grande sofrimento e crescer a partir disso. ... Observamos a resiliência pessoal todos os dias em pessoas com deficiências, que perdem entes queridos e sofrem outras perdas. Quando as pessoas se recusam a desistir de si mesmas e do mundo, mesmo após um infortúnio, elas estão sendo resilientes.

Resiliência é a norma bíblica para o cristão. A Bíblia contém muitas admoestações para perseverarmos,[Filipenses 3:13–15.] superarmos dificuldades e tentações,[ Romanos 12:21.] e seguirmos adiante apesar das provações.[Tiago 1:12.] Ela também nos dá vários exemplos de pessoas que sofreram muito, mas continuaram a seguir o plano de Deus para suas vidas. Provérbios 24:16 pode ser visto como o versículo-tema para os resilientes: “Pois ainda que o justo caia sete vezes, tornará a erguer-se, mas os ímpios são arrastados pela calamidade”.

 Paulo demonstrou grande resiliência após o encontro com Jesus que mudou sua vida.[Atos 9.] Muitos não gostaram da sua mensagem quando ele passou de fariseu religioso a cristão radical. Ele foi espancado, apedrejado, criticado, preso e quase morto várias vezes.[2 Coriíntios 11:24–27.] Em Listra, na Ásia Menor, ele foi apedrejado, arrastado para fora da cidade e largado como morto, mas, depois que seus inimigos foram embora, Paulo simplesmente se levantou e voltou para a cidade.[Atos 14:19–20.] Ele persistiu em seus esforços missionários. A resiliência que Deus nos dá nos capacita a levar nossa missão adiante, não importa a oposição. …

O crente em Jesus Cristo é sustentado pelo poder de Deus e, portanto, é naturalmente resiliente. “Em tudo somos atribulados, mas não angustiados; perplexos, mas não desanimados; perseguidos, mas não desamparados; abatidos, mas não destruídos.”[2 Coríntios 4:8–9.] O cristão sempre se reergue. O segredo para a resiliência é ter fé no Senhor:

“Os passos de um homem bom são confirmados pelo Senhor, e ele deleita-se no seu caminho. Ainda que caia, não ficará prostrado, pois o Senhor o sustém com a sua mão.”[Salmo 37:23–24.] …

Quando uma situação parece fora de controle ou não parece estar indo na direção certa, a nossa tendência é assinalar a história como encerrada. Achamos que sabemos o resultado final, então, em vez de exercitarmos a resiliência, desistimos ou resolvemos o problema por conta própria. Provérbios 3:5-6 são bons versículos aos quais nos agarrarmos quando só conseguimos ver calamidades no nosso futuro:“Confia no Senhor de todo o teu coração e não te estribes no teu próprio entendimento. Reconhece-o em todos os teus caminhos, e ele endireitará as tuas veredas.”

A melhor maneira de ser resiliente é escolher confiar no Senhor em vez de nos apoiarmos naquilo que entendemos.—gotquestions.org

Jesus diz: “Eu estou com você!”

Alguns problemas e dificuldades podem parecer obstáculos, mas Eu os desafio a vê-los como barreiras em uma corrida. Por quê? Porque obstáculos são coisas desagradáveis que nos atrasam ou detêm, ao passo que as barreiras em uma corrida estão ali para você saltar sobre elas e as transpor. Elas são o desafio; aperfeiçoam nossas habilidades e fortalecem nossos músculos.

A meta não é remover a barreira como se faria com um obstáculo, mas sim pular por cima dela com agilidade. Pode acontecer de ficar bravo ao avistar outro problema barrando seu caminho. Entendo como se sente, porque não é fácil saltar barreiras. Mas você só ganha com essa experiência: fica mais forte, mais ágil e mais resiliente.

Quando se deparar com um problema ou dificuldade, em vez de ficar desanimado porque a barreira parece muito grande ou alta, e impossível de transpor, quero que olhe para Mim e para a Minha capacidade de ajudá-lo a fazer “todas as coisas”.[ Filipenses 4:13] Peça-Me para lhe dar forças, e assim conseguirá  saltar essas barreiras com a energia e a destreza que apenas Eu posso dar. Você está pronto para saltar as barreiras? Vamos lá! Juntos! Você e Eu!  - Jesus.
