Does fertility treatment have any side effects?

2010-03-01T13:48:00.000-05:00

With fertility treatment becoming cheaper and more popular, couples are choosing IVF without thinking too much about it. After all, many people already know someone who got a child through artificial insemination and of course so many celebrities undergo in vitro fertilization that it makes as much news as their being arrested for DUI.

Since the fertility experts make tons of money in these procedures, their goal is to maximize number of pregnancies, even if they eventually end in miscarriages or deformed babies are born (for these they always blame the parents). Of course they also don't care what happens after a child is born.

Now experts are learning that kids born through IVF are more likely to have diseases like high blood pressure, diabetes and certain cancers. The reason is that when conception takes outside the body, the cells are exposed to way more oxygen than what they get inside the womb. This changes how many and which genes are turned on.

How to fight friends making rumors?

2010-03-01T11:43:00.001-05:00

Nancy writes, "Rumors^.^ they aren't pretty. So when one flew around of me I was shocked. Who would have that much grudge on me to say rumors about me and say they are 100 percent true? My terrible ex-friends thought they were true, and because of that I lost 3 friends. I think they don't have much fun in their lives if they are believing in them and telling others it's true.All I wanna do is to shut them up and let the whole thing die. What do I do to make the brats shut up?"

Yes, rumors are painful and there is nothing you can do to stop them, because the more you try to deny them the more fuel it adds to the fire. However, it makes sense to let your close friends know what the truth is because they are the only ones who will trust you more than the rumors.

The best way to shut up the rumormongers is to ignore them.

Celine Dion gone crazy for another baby

2010-02-10T16:43:00.000-05:00

I have a lot of sympathy for couples struggling with infertility (which I define as the inability of a woman to get her first child). It is understandable why a woman or a couple wants to have a kid but cannot.

There is already a huge discussion going on if everyone should have children after a certain age because as we know that older mothers often give birth to children with autism and older fathers often have kids with bipolar disorder. Sarah Palin, who got pregnant at an advanced age, gave birth to Trig, who has Down's Syndrome.

I have absolutely no sympathy for greedy women who are already mothers but are putting themselves and most likely the kids that maybe born at great risk of health and genetic diseases. Céline Dion, already a mother of a son Rene-Charles, 9, has already tried four unsuccessful rounds of in vitro fertilization (IVF) using frozen embryos. "I'm going to try until it works," she tells People. We definitely need some regulation to stop these crazy women because look what Octomom did.

Is penis related to pregnancy?

2010-01-18T17:34:00.000-05:00

Drake writes, "What is the effect of size while making love? Will I be able to make my wife pregnant even if the size is very small?"

Size and pleasure

Despite all the myth and misinformation, it is not the size that matters but what you do with its and all other body parts when it comes to satisfying a woman. I know women who have told me that men with very tiny organs gave them great orgasms and men with huge ones did not know what to do with it. Generally speaking even the smallest size can please a woman. So go out there and do what you can with it and your hands, mouth and tongue and stop fretting about the size, the myth for which has been created by quacks, crooks, and spammers to sell you snake oil.

Size and pregnancy

The same is true for making babies. If the woman is fertile and healthy and you can engage in normal lovemaking, she should get pregnant. Having said that, if you have been trying to make your wife pregnant for 12 months and have not succeeded, then it is time to meet with a fertility specialist. It may have nothing to do with your organ size but there are so many other things inside a woman's body that could not be working normally. For men, it is not the size that is important for pregnancy, but sperm count, sperm quality and motility that are important and these can be checked with a simple test.

Should I have a child with my married boyfriend?

2010-01-13T16:28:00.000-05:00

Cindy writes, "I have read all the the advice you have given to everyone about dating married men. I am 24 years old and I have an affair with a married man. We have been together almost 6 years. Since his wife has not been able to get pregnant, he really wants to father a child and I am happy to do so. I love him so much, and I am willing to give him a child but the problem is his wife does not want to divorce him nor would she agree to me carrying a child. We both have fought with everyone to carry on this beautiful relationship and even my parents do not want him to be with me. I have essentially fought with my whole family just to be with him. What can I do? Please help me."

Love child is generally not appreciated

If he loves you as much as you do, he should divorce his wife and then marry you, without support of his and your family, if that is what it comes to. I am expecting, though, that once you two get married your family will support you. Right now your parents are correct in not wanting him because he is a married man and you have no future with him that way.

While it may disappoint you, I also support his wife's reluctance to let him have a child with you. It is one thing to use an egg from a donor or employ a surrogate mother but you are his extramarital lover. There is no guarantee that a woman will be able to give a child to every man and while she may try IUI, IVF and other fertility treatments, it is unfair to leave a woman just because she did not get pregnant.

So as far as you are concerned, it is time for you to ask your boyfriend to immediately divorce his wife and marry you. If he does not do that right away, it simply means that he has no interest in marrying you and is merely taking advantage of you.

My younger boyfriend wants kids but I don't

2010-01-12T14:43:00.000-05:00

Hannah writes, "I am a divorced 38 years old dating a 30 year old guy. I have two teenager daughters. We're totally in love, he doesn't care about our ages, and he already asked me if I want to have more kids. My 16 year old daughter doesn't like the idea. I am also not sure if I am prepared to go through another pregnancy and raise a child. He says that I look younger and would do just fine as a mom. My friends believe he is too young for me, but I have to say that he is more mature than a 40 year old. I do not want to scare him, but I think after 5 month I have to be clear. Should I ask him about his plan?"

Let me deal with each issue one at a time:

All kids feel a little jealous when a sibling comes and the situation gets a little more complicated when the kids are teens. They are grown up enough to realize how their lives will be complicated and will change as a result of their mom getting married and then having a kid. While they may be young enough not to be afraid for no reason and as an adult you can convince them, you still have to assess what it will mean for your relationship with your daughters.
Doctors consider someone at your age of advanced maternal age. While women do get pregnant and have healthy babies, many women face huge challenges getting pregnant and sometimes have babies with genetic disorders. Others get pregnant through in vitro fertilization or using donor eggs and these procedures can be expensive and emotionally hard of many families. Many such procedures result in multiple births. In other words, you two have to consider what happens if you don't get pregnant naturally.
Marriage of a couple means a few years of fun without any responsibilities. In case you two want a kid, your doctor will probably advise you to start NOW. That means that instead of building a relationship with a new husband and trying to integrate him into your family, you will be dealing with a newborn.
The age gap between you two is just 8 years and it is insignificant compared to other emails that I have been receiving where the age gap is as high as 25-30 years, in other words, people are marrying someone old enough to be a parent or child. So I wouldn't worry too much about what the friends think as long as you two have a great relationship. I totally agree with you that I have seen 30 year olds with the maturity of a 50 year old and also seen 30 year olds that literally seem like teenagers. In the end it is the emotional maturity that matters rather than age and as cheesy as it may sound, age is only a number. If this is the right man for you, then, he is the best man on the planet for you, regardless of what your friends think.

My suggestion would be that you first think through what you want, talk to your daughters, and then present the options to your boyfriend. It is understandable why he may want a kid of his own, but if that is not what you and your daughters want, then it is best that he be allowed to move on and find a woman that will gladly give him a child.

Did Jennifer Lopez have IVF for her twins?

2010-01-07T11:29:00.000-05:00

Whenever a Hollywood celebrity gets pregnant in her advanced age the speculation is always rife that she may have had assisted reproductive therapy (ART) like IUI, IVF, donor eggs, or in case that she simply cannot get pregnant on her own, use of a surrogate mother.

That is why when Jennifer Lopez became pregnant with twins Max and Emme (multiple births are more common when in vitro fertilization is used), a lot of people suspected that fertility treatments were used. J Lo is now denying that. She says that when it comes to family and relationships, she is quite traditional. She implies that trying to get pregnant artificially may be against the wishes of God, because if you cannot get pregnant naturally, then, maybe God did not want you to be a mother.

She says, "...I also believe in God and I have a lot of faith in that, so I just felt like you don't mess with things like that. And I guess deep down I really felt like either this is not going to happen for me or it is. And if it is, it will. And if it's not, it's not going to."

Since the ethics of fertility treatments are still evolving, a lot of parents still struggle to make peace with procedures like donor eggs, surrogate mothers, and IVF in which many embryos are often destroyed.

Tila Tequila surrogate mom

2009-12-28T16:19:00.001-05:00

As I highlighted previously, as some women fail to get pregnant naturally or struggle with other infertility issues, the new trend is to use surrogate mothers. Most couples (gay couples or gay dads simply have no other option and people like Sarah Jessica Parker, Marissa Jaret Winokur and Ricky Martin have used them) are simply buying their services but some lucky ones may find that a family member or friend may take on this enormous responsibility, hopefully, for no monetary gain.

Now a woman that is just way too controversial, Tila Tequila, is going to become pregnant -- hold your breath -- with the child of his brother. No word on what is really wrong with her sister-in-law but as a lesbian, she might be getting ready for a child of her own later on if she marries the Johnson and Johnson heiress Casey Johnson.

How to avoid becoming pregnant?

2009-12-22T11:30:00.000-05:00

Cindy writes, "My boyfriend seems to not be able to stop touching me. We have sex all the time and he seems to want more and more. He always seduces me and gets me into bed. Please help me. I try talking to him but we always end up making love. I have become pregnant six times but aborted each time because he does not have time or money to support a child."

I think there is nothing wrong with having sexual desire for your partner with whom you are in love, but if you do not want to get pregnant, you have to use birth control. You can go on the birth control pill and that way you will not become pregnant. If that is not possible, condoms are an alternative. In case you are completely caught by surprise, then, you can try plan B, a pill that stops an embryo from implanting itself in the womb in case fertilization does happen.

I typically do not like to raise ethical and moral questions related to abortion (I leave that to you and your partner), but do want to raise health issues. Making the body go through pregnancy and then aborting it causes health complications due to hormonal imbalance. The body also goes through enormous stress each time you get pregnant or have an abortion.

Celine Dion desperate for second child

2009-11-11T15:27:00.003-05:00

Previously I reported that Celin Dion was pregnant from her frozen embryo but I am now learning from her husband Rene Angelil that it was a false pregnancy. In other words, there were hormonal changes in the body but the frozen embryo did not really implant.

It is important to understand that implanting a frozen embryo involves an IVF procedure and that involves preparing the woman's body through a combination of fertility drugs. That can completely confuse the body and that is why the false pregnancy tests. Celine has already tried once more since then and will try again but at some point you start to wonder if this couple is not just pushing the limits of parenthood because they already are parents of a healthy child. At this late age in life, it is nothing but greed, and yes they are rich and can do anything, and I would have supported their decision if they were childless, but right now it seems that they are simply greedy people who have no respect for their own child, who maybe born to an old woman whose body refuses to cooperate. It is one thing to exploit technology for becoming a parent, it is its abuse to raise a baby farm.

What if I cannot give child to my younger husband?

2009-10-01T15:25:00.004-04:00

Betty writes, "I am a 39-year-old woman. I have been divorced for a little over a year, and I have a son who just graduated from high school and has left home to join the military. I have also returned to school to get my college degree. I am typically attracted to men my age or older, but find myself attracted to a 27-year-old man. I met him at school. I feel interest/attraction there, on both our parts, but I can't help but worry about the "children" issue. This is something I feel women must think about at my age who are dating younger men who haven't yet had children. I'm not against having more children, but let's be honest... my "clock is ticking." Assuming we even begin dating, do relationships like this ever really work? What if I can't have more children? I just worry about falling for someone who is younger, only to have him leave me for someone closer to his own age."

I think the issue that you are worried about is a bit premature. Based on what other couples in similar situation have told me is no different than what happens to couples in general of same age group. Some men do not want children, some women cannot have children, some couples adopt, or use procedures like IUI, IVF, and donor eggs if they really want to become parents. As you can see, there is a whole range of options depending on what a couple actually wants. As the relationship evolves, most couples figure out a way to address this issue and generally love trumps all, unless it is a couple (Mark and Vanessa Loring played by Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner) like in Juno.

Yes, relationships like this are increasingly common and they work as well, with or without children. Men who are dating a woman whose biological clock is ticking understand that their options are limited; otherwise, they don't date women in their 40s.

I tell women not to lose sleep over the possibility of these men leaving for a younger woman because even if you marry an older man, he could do the same.

Lesbians right to artificial insemination

2009-09-30T17:39:00.002-04:00

Remember those homophobes who run a clinic by the name of North Coast Women's Medical Group in Vista, CA? Arguing that Jesus Christ hates lesbians, they turned away Guadalupe Benitez and her partner Joanne Clark when they were denied ART.

It turns out that Jesus sent them an email clarifying that he loves gays and lesbians as much as he loves everyone else, including homophobes. The doctors then decided to settle the case rather than lose in a court for discrimination.

Jon Cryer Lisa Joyner adoption

2009-09-30T17:30:00.002-04:00

When I heard that Jon Cryer and his wife, Lisa Joyner, have adopted a baby girl, named Daisy, I am starting to wonder if Lisa had trouble conceiving on her own or through IUI or IVF. She is 42 and that age it is not uncommon to face fertility problems.

Rather than trying endlessly either naturally or through unreliable methods like ART or donor eggs (many couples become depressed or even divorce while trying to become parents) adoption is one sure method that you can bring a child home when it is all said and done.

Should I adopt a child with my younger boyfriend?

2009-09-28T15:43:00.002-04:00

Maribelle writes, "I am a 64 year old woman who was married for 27 years and has two children, one 30 and another 23. They are both on their own. My husband and I have been separated for 7 months. I moved to Mexico for change of environment and to evaluate how I wanted to spend the rest of my life and met a man who is 27 years my junior. We have fallen in love. He is a surfer, organic farmer and financially independent like me (I am convinced that he is not looking to grab my retirement savings). We have separate homes. He thought I was maybe 45 or 52, the oldest I could have been in his mind. He fainted when he found out he was in love with a woman old enough to be his mother. We have talked about it all and have become comfortable with our age difference. We went out in public for the first time and found out that we could be out without feeling uncomfortable. We walked arm in arm and flirted with each other openly; it was refreshing because we have been keeping our love a secret. We both know we have to live in the moment because this is such a gift to both of us to find this love. We are very compatible in so many ways that it scares us. We both feel like we have been given a potion of love, we feel bewitched and live in a bubble of love where everything looks beautiful and doable. I feel so full of life and I don't remember having such a wild sexual experience as this. I thought those days were over but it seems I am getting younger by the day. I feel very confident and we have such wonderful conversations and the affection is overflowing. It makes me nervous because I have never been so in love as this. He too has never experienced this love. He does want children and talks to me about adopting together and getting married. I have an issue with being a Mommy again. We want to be together. Can this work?"

What a beautiful story and I am so happy for you. I hear from a lot of women like you who have found love with a younger man.

Obviously, like any other relationship, these relationships have challenges and one of the big ones is the desire of these men to become fathers. I think most of them recognize that they have to make some sacrifices in order to enjoy their relationship, and that is why, if you absolutely do not want to deal with diapers and toys, you must tell him so forcefully. To be very honest, it is simply not fun for you to take care of a child at this stage. You have already done that and it is time for you to just sit back and enjoy life.

If he truly loves you and wants to have that "father" experience I think he is old enough to act that role out with your children or get involved in the community by helping disadvantaged kids with soccer or Math or whatever talent he has. Hopefully, for the sake of your love for each other, it is a small sacrifice that he will happily make. If not, then, you should both discuss how to resolve it so that both of you are happy. If this is as beautiful a relationship as you say, you both might have to make some compromises.

Japanese women behaving badly when overseas

2009-09-23T12:02:00.000-04:00

A Japanese woman tells me, "Some Japanese girls are so ignorant that they misunderstand foreign people are very open about those things. Actually those low-educated women often have a wrong image of western people because of TV dramas like Sex and the city. Some people really think that most Western women are like Samantha... That's why those poor women think that they also have to be like Samantha when in Western countries."

Katherine Heigl mom without pregnancy

2009-09-10T13:55:00.004-04:00

Gossip magazines always like to speculate when a Hollywood celebrity is pregnant. Even if she is spotted shopping for a gift, they will immediately start suggesting that a baby is on its way.

Now Katherine Heigl, who got married to Josh Kelly is choosing to have a baby but she is adopting. I am not sure if she has fertility issues or if she or her husband have already tried options like IUI, IVF, or surrogate mom, but she has adopted a baby girl from South Korea called Nayleigh (or Leigh).

It may be interesting to mention that previously Heigl told USA Today that, "I am done with the whole idea of having my own children. It doesn't seem like fun. I don't think it's necessary to go through all of that." If that is the case, considering how over-populated the planet is, this is the greenest way to become a parent. Plus, she need not worry about pregnancy weight loss or stretch marks or breastfeeding or sagging breasts.

Michelle Stafford parent through surrogate mother

2009-09-08T14:58:00.002-04:00

As I have written before, by the time a woman is 40, her fertility has dropped to a point that it is highly unlikely that she can deliver a living, healthy, normal baby. Yes, some women do that but the number is in very low single digits. Others can try techniques like IUI or IVF but they are not much help. A smarter thing to do is to what Celine Dion did who froze her embryos a long time ago and then became pregnant with it.

If you have failed with these attempts (and burned thousands of dollars in case your insurance does not cover these procedures) then your next option is to use donor eggs, in which case, the real mother is someone else but a woman can still feel connected to the baby since she will be carrying it. These procedures are prohibitively expensive in most of the Western world but in countries like Czech Republic or Ukraine, poor and desperate women will sell their eggs for a very low price. The probability improves but if this does not work, another option is to use a surrogate mother, a procedure used by Ricky Martin, Sarah Jessica Parker, Marissa Jaret Winokur, and Clay Aiken. In other words, hire a woman to carry a man's child using the surrogate's or donor's eggs. This procedure can cost tens of thousands of dollars and surrogate moms are not lining up for the job.

We can now add another name to the list of women who are becoming "moms" with the help of surrogates: Michelle Stafford, who at 43, tried all of the above, but failed. Interestingly, in her case, since she is single mom by choice, both the sperm and egg are from donors and she will simply be raising the child. This option is akin to paying someone for adopting their baby.

2009-09-07T14:36:00.000-04:00

I got this comment from someone who is really upset by outsourcing and challenges of finding jobs in the US. Personally, my position is that bitching about outsourcing doesn't help anyone. Globalization is a reality and if you don't like it, you will gain nothing. The best thing to do is to understand it, analyze how it affects you, and then react. We really are in the "survival of the fittest" situation now. Here is the comment from someone who calls himself "swazendo."

"We will actually be competing with folks in India for jobs -

I have been competing with folks in India for jobs. I don\'t know how you get paid, but, how long could you compete against someone who will cost your employer 1/5th of what you currently get paid? Please explain exactly what you would do, realistically.

And while it will be painful for some, in the long run, we will learn to do what creates the highest value for our businesses.

Take a course in macro economics -- in the long run we're all dead and it is already painful not for just some but for many -- look at unemployment and you just watch happens in the future to this country. It's easy for you to comment away on this stuff but until you jump in the pool and experience first hand what "painful" is (compete at 1/5th the wage) , your comments are as meaningful as teats on a bored pig."

Celine Dion pregnancy from frozen embryo

2009-08-26T14:11:00.002-04:00

As women delay marriage and pregnancy, they are finding out that their fertility goes down rapidly in late 30s and then in their 40s it is nearly impossible to deliver a healthy child naturally. At that point, a woman has to explore options like IUI, IVF, donor eggs or surrogate mother (as Ricky Martin, Sarah Jessica Parker, Clay Aiken and Marisssa Jaret Winokur did).

Céline Dion exercised another great option: freezing your eggs, or if you are already in a relationship and know who will be the father, frozen embryos. That way both the egg and the sperm comes from young, healthy parents and can be implanted into a woman's uterus well into her late 40s (though I often doubt the wisdom having children so late into one's life).

My wife wants to have a child before she gets too old

2009-08-12T11:43:00.002-04:00

Mark, a man in his 20s is in a serious relationship to a 46-year old woman. He writes, "I know it's difficult for a woman in her 40's to have kids and believe me I don't even know if I want any. I guess that she's worried that I might want to be a father some day and that I might leave her for a more younger fertile woman. I keep reassuring her that that's never going to happen but she tells me that she wants to have a baby with me more then anything (some day) and she's worried that soon she won't be able to. The donor egg option is definitely worth considering. I know the relationship is still new (we have been dating only a few months) and to be honest I don't know if I want to be a father. That's something I'm still mulling over but I do plan to ask her to marry me within the next couple of months. I already told her 19-year old daughter and she was surprised and happy. She still tells me that she won't refer to me as dad."

It is a common concern among most older women even when they are married to a man their age and they have reasons to fear it -- so many men do leave them for younger women. The concern is amplified when they are married to a much younger man.

The way the donor eggs work is that you will have to find a younger woman who is willing to donate her eggs. Yes, the child will not be genetically your wife's but she will carry the baby like any other woman and be able to breastfeed her like any regular mom. Not everyone is comfortable with the idea, though (you may not always know the genetic history of the donor and if you decide it to keep it a secret, the nosy people will comment that the child has no resemblance to the mother) and finding a donor plus having the medical procedures done can cost as much $30,000 in the US.

Redness after needling treatment

2009-08-10T11:54:00.000-04:00

Robin writes, "I had needling done 2 months to my acne scars and the spots are still really red. I have to wear heavy makeup to cover it. Is that normal?"

I hope you realize that without looking, there is not much I can say, and I strongly encourage you to speak to the place where you went for the treatment and/or a skin doctor.

To me two months seems like a long time for the redness to stay.

How to fight jealousy?

2009-08-03T11:46:00.000-04:00

Lisa asks, "What is your game plan to fight jealousy? How to have guts to face something that makes me jealous?"

As you probably figured out, jealousy is a very destructive emotion and it hurts us more than the person that we are jealous of. In other words, a lot of pain and suffering. For what? Our own destruction?

The best way to fight it is to realize that jealousy hurts us and no one else. And would you do something just to hurt yourself? No.

If you tell me more about your situation I can give more direct advice on how to deal with it.

Why blondes can never be intelligent?

2009-07-23T11:07:00.000-04:00

A blonde is sitting at home one day when she decides she's sick of hearing all those blonde jokes, so she decides to dye her hair brown. To see if it works, she goes to a farm.

She walks up to the farmer and says, "If I can guess how many sheep you have, can I take one home?"

The farmer kinda chuckles to himself, and then replies, "Sure, why not?"

The blonde pulls out a calculator and does a whole bunch of calculus and trig equations and comes up with a number. She says to the farmer, "There are 314 sheep out there."

The farmer looks at her with a shocked expression and says, "You're right! Go take your pick".

The blonde takes a few minutes to pick a sheep, waves to the farmer, and leaves.

She's sitting at home the next day when she hears a knock on her front door. She opens it and finds the farmer standing there, holding his hat. He says to her, "If I can guess your real hair color, can I have my dog back?

It's all about balance

2009-07-23T11:06:00.000-04:00

God was missing for six days. Eventually, Michael, the archangel, found him, resting on the seventh day.

He inquired, "Where have you been?"

God smiled deeply and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, "Look, Michael. Look what I've made."

Archangel Michael looked puzzled, and said. "What is it?"

"It's a planet," replied God, "and I've put life on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a place to test Balance."

"Balance?" inquired Michael, "I'm still confused."

God explained, pointing to different parts of earth. "For example, Northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth, while Southern Europe is going to be poor. Over here I've placed a continent of white people, and over there is a continent of black people. Balance in all things."

God continued pointing to different countries. "This one will be extremely hot, while this one will be very cold and covered in ice.."

The Archangel , impressed by God's work, then pointed to a land area and said, "What's that one?"

"That's Washington State , the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful mountains, rivers and streams, lakes, forests, hills, and plains. The people from Washington State are going to be handsome, modest, intelligent, and humorous, and they are going to travel the world. They will be extremely sociable, hardworking, high achieving, carriers of peace, and producers of software."

Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then asked, "But what about balance, God? You said there would be balance."

God smiled, "There's another Washington . Wait till you see the idiots I put there."

1918 Influenza Epidemic was a Vaccine-caused Disease

2009-07-23T11:05:00.000-04:00

Very few people realize that the worst epidemic ever to hit America, the Spanish Influenza of 1918 was the after effect of the massive nation-wide vaccine campaign. The doctors told the people that the disease was caused by germs. Viruses were not known at that time or they would have been blamed. Germs, bacteria and viruses, along with bacilli and a few other invisible organisms are the scapegoats, which the doctors like to blame for the things they do not understand. If the doctor makes a wrong diagnosis and treatment, and kills the patient, he can always blame it on the germs, and say the patient didn?t get an early diagnosis and come to him in time.

If we check back in history to that 1918 flu period, we will see that it suddenly struck just after the end of World War I when our soldiers were returning home from overseas.. That was the first war in which all the known vaccines were forced on all the servicemen. This mish-mash of poison drugs and putrid protein of which the vaccines were composed, caused such widespread disease and death among the soldiers that it was the common talk of the day, that more of our men were being killed by medical shots than by enemy shots from guns. Thousands were invalided home or to military hospitals, as hopeless wrecks, before they ever saw a day of battle. The death and disease rate among the vaccinated soldiers was four times higher than among the unvaccinated civilians. But this did not stop the vaccine promoters. Vaccine has always been big business, and so it was continued doggedly.

It was a shorter war than the vaccine-makers had planned on, only about a year for us, so the vaccine promoters had a lot of unused, spoiling vaccines left over which they wanted to sell at a good profit. So they did what they usually do, they called a meeting behind closed doors, and plotted the whole sordid program, a nationwide (worldwide) vaccination drive using all their vaccines, and telling the people that the soldiers were coming home with many dread diseases contracted in foreign countries and that it was the patriotic duty of every man, woman and child to get ?protected? by rushing down to the vaccination centers and having all the shots.

Most people believe their doctors and government officials, and do what they say. The result was, that almost the entire population submitted to the shots without question, and it was only a matter of hours until people began dropping dead in agony, while many others collapsed with a disease of such virulence that no one had ever seen anything like it before. They had all the characteristics of the diseases they had been vaccinated against, the high fever, chills, pain, cramps, diarrhea, etc. of typhoid, and the pneumonia like lung and throat congestion of diphtheria and the vomiting, headache, weakness and misery of hepatitis from the jungle fever shots, and the outbreak of sores on the skin from the smallpox shots, along with paralysis from all the shots, etc.

The doctors were baffled, and claimed they didn?t know what caused the strange and deadly disease, and they certainly had no cure. They should have known the underlying cause was the vaccinations, because the same thing happened to the soldiers after they had their shots at camp. The typhoid fever shots caused a worse form of the disease, which they called para-typhoid. Then they tried to suppress the symptoms of that one with a stronger vaccine, which caused a still more serious disease, which killed and disabled a great many men. The combination of all the poison vaccines fermenting together in the body, caused such violent reactions that they could not cope with the situation. Disaster ran rampant in the camps. Some of the military hospitals were filled with nothing but paralyzed soldiers, and they were called war casualties, even before they left American soil. I talked to some of the survivors of that vaccine onslaught when they returned home after the war, and they told of the horrors, not of the war itself, and battles, but of the sickness at camp.

The doctors didn?t want this massive vaccine disease to reflect on them, so they, agreed among themselves to call it Spanish Influenza. Spain was a far away place and some of the soldiers had been there, so the idea of calling it Spanish Influenza seemed to be a good way to lay the blame on someone else. The Spanish resented having us name the world scourge on them. They knew the flu didn?t originate in their country.
20,000,000 died of that flu epidemic, worldwide, and it seemed to be almost universal or as far away as the vaccinations reached. Greece and a few other countries, which did not accept the vaccines, were the only ones that were not hit by the flu. Doesn?t that prove something?

At home (in the U.S.) the situation was the same; the only ones who escaped the influenza were those who had refused the vaccinations. My family and 1 were among the few who persisted in refusing the high pressure sales propaganda, and none of us had the flu not even a sniffle, in spite of the fact that it was all around us, and in the bitter cold of winter.

Everyone seemed to have it. The whole town was down sick and dying. The hospitals were closed because the doctors and nurses were down with the flu.. Everything was closed, schools, businesses, post office everything. No one was on the streets. It was like a ghost town. There were no doctors to care for the sick, so my parents went from house to house doing what they could to help the stricken in any way they could. They spent all day and part of the night for weeks, in the sick rooms, and came home only to eat and sleep. If germs or viruses, bacteria, or any other little organisms were the cause of that disease, they had plenty of opportunity to latch onto my parents and ?lay them low? with the disease that had prostrated the world. But germs were not the cause of that or any other disease, so they didn?t ?catch? it. I have talked to a few other people since that time, who said they escaped the 1918 flu, so I asked if they had the shots, and in every case, they said they had never believed in shots and had never had any of them. Common sense tells us that all those toxic vaccines all mixed up together in people, could not help but cause extreme body-poisoning and poisoning of some kind or another is usually the cause of disease.

Whenever a person coughs or sneezes, most people cringe, thinking that the germs are being spread around in the air and will attack people. There is no need to fear those germs any more, because that is not the way colds are developed. Germs can?t live apart from the cells (host) and can?t do harm anyway, even if they wanted to. They have no teeth to bite anyone, no poison pouches like snakes, mosquitoes or bees, and do not multiply, except in decomposed substances, so they are helpless to harm. As stated before, their purpose is useful, not destructive.

The 1918 flu was the most devastating disease we ever had, and it brought forth all the medical bag of tricks to quell it, but those added drugs, all of which are poisons, only intensified the over-poisoned condition of the people, so the treatments actually killed more than the vaccines did.
