LANCASTER MEASLES DEATHS

Every time I’ve gone and tried to report on this, something changes!

I go over the difference between a measles associated death and a death from measles.

There have been a lot of emotional posts by providers who are angry, saying these deaths could have absolutely been prevented, no matter who the patient was that died. That may be so, but we also have to ask how many children have been injured or died from the vaccine? How do we know that information?

Next time I’ll go over the vaccine effectiveness, herd immunity, and why the moral argument for vaccination is NOT as airtight as it seems.

Facts over fear people.

IMPETIGO

Here’s some remedies, conventional and crunchy!
*not medical advice, make sure you check with your provider!*

Other things to try:
- Active Skin Repair spray
- diluted oregano oil
- tallow balm for moisturizing

Make sure to keep up with hand hygiene, don’t share towels, support the immune system, and definitely use the Mupirocin ointment if it’s not resolving quickly.

COMMENT “SKIN” and I’ll send you the link to my Amazon with the products I use.

LEAVE A COMMENT if any other remedies worked for you!

CHILDHOOD VACCINE EXECUTIVE ORDER

1. Calls for reduction of childhood vaccine schedule, recommending 11 core vaccinations for all children rather than 17. Also recommending to split these vaccination appts up to separate days rather than receiving several vaccines on one day.

2. Recommends splitting up the MMR into individual measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines and having those given on separate days as well.

3. Orders that all 50 states respect medical, religious and philosophical vaccine exemptions. Directs AG to support cases currently in court fighting for exemptions and threatens taking away federal funding from mandated states.

LEAVE A COMMENT of your questions or concerns. Do you think this order will be helpful or effective at all??

FOLLOW for pt 2 where I give you my take!💃🏼

MFLUSIVA

A few more points to add from the 92 page FDA approval document (I was mistaken, the package insert wasn’t actually that long, so there’s less info and context available now if that makes you feel better.):

- they noted that creating a new mRNA vaccine was necessary because flu shot is not that effective (lol)
- significantly more side effects and deaths in the mRNA group
- their conditional approval for 65 and over is dependent on two studies that they need to perform with at least 800,000 sample size, meaning, they’re gonna push this hard on grandparents because they want that approval for Medicare.

LEAVE A COMMENT of your thoughts! Do you think people will be lining up out the door for this gene therapy?

LABS AND SUPPS TO AVOID PPD

Standard labs are not typically checked at your 6 week appt! Definitely work with a provider and see if they would be open to checking some for you.

Low vitamin D, thyroid dysfunction, and low iron/ferritin stores are some of the main causes of postpartum depression and anxiety symptoms.

It’s not a mental disorder, your brain is not broken, you are depleted and your life has changed!

Correcting these deficiencies may help dramatically decrease these symptoms.

I’m always a food first girly, but during the postpartum period, it can be difficult and time consuming to cook nourishing meals. I use supplements to fill in those nutritional gaps.

COMMENT “POSTPARTUM” down below and I’ll send you a link to my postnatal bundle!🩷

LINDSEY CLANCY TAKEAWAYS

1. Informed consent is important.
2. Medications are NOT the only answer for depression and anxiety, more needs to be done.

EXERCISE AND PPD

Several studies show that exercise during pregnancy and postpartum significantly decreases your risk for postpartum depression! (Deprato et al 2022, Yuan et al 2022)

This is just one lifestyle change that can decrease the risk for PPD, others include natural sunlight exposure, nourishing foods, and most importantly, adequate sleep. Hard to do when you have a brand new baby, but just remember that taking a few minutes to take of yourself will make all of the difference during this difficult period.

SSRIs and PPD

Sources include Brown et al 2021 and package insert of sertraline.

LEAVE A COMMENT if these medications helped you or made or your symptoms worse? I figure it will be a very mixed bunch!

MEASLES

There’s known risks with the disease, and known and unknown risks with the vaccine. You just have to decide which risks you are willing to take.

LEAVE A COMMENT if your child had a bad case of measles OR a bad reaction to a vaccine.
