With all of the prehistoric stigmas from chiropractic’s early years extinct, millions of individuals, families, and athletes enjoy and experience the essential nature of chiropractic care, utilizing chiropractic services not just for crisis care but for family, lifestyle, and performance-based care. Companies have embraced chiropractic care, including their services for reimbursement. Many companies like Google, Standard Process, and others provide on-site chiropractic services for their employees. Professional, Olympic, college, and youth sports teams have chiropractors as key members, and even leaders, of their healthcare teams. And maybe most importantly, millions of families have made chiropractic care their primary choice to help them raise healthy drug-free kids. Rather than wait for a crisis or deterioration to set in, more people are wanting to live at 100 percent throughout their lifetime – one of the goals that many chiropractors have for their patients and practice members. The Rocky Road to Essential Getting to this point has not been an easy road. Politically, the chiropractic industry chose to hold onto their principles and not become a part of the mainstream medical, allopathic umbrella which led to vicious, unfounded attacks against the profession by the medical establishment. The chiropractic industry had to overcome…
Chiropractic Wins in Federal Court – Obliterating the Lies In 1987, United States District Judge Susan Getzendanner found the American Medical Association (AMA) and its constituents guilty and in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act on the grounds that they intended to obliterate the chiropractic profession. The AMA took insidious, unfounded action to contain and eliminate the chiropractic profession with accusations of being unethical and unscientific, and to position the medical agenda at the forefront of healthcare. During this famous Chester C. A. Wilk et al. v. AMA et al. case, records revealed that medical doctors were encouraged by the AMA to exploit chiropractors and accuse them of wrongdoings. The plan included the creation of a committee on quackery and outlined the “containment of the chiropractic profession” that “will result in the decline of chiropractic.” This plan was detailed with action steps from denying chiropractors from being in hospitals to opposing insurance coverage for their care, to even comparing them to dogs. This epic 11-year battle and chiropractic victory opened the door to new opportunities for the chiropractic profession to assume their rightful place as health care leaders delivering holistic healing and drug-free health care. Now, it is common for chiropractors and medical colleagues to openly work together on behalf of their patients.Science is Catching Up to What Doctors and Advocates Already Know Gravity existed long before the apple fell on Isaac Newton’s head! This same concept is true for the healing principles of the human body and its relationship to chiropractic care. There have been exciting breakthroughs in Neuroscience, quantum mechanics, biology, and the immune system that have given the chiropractic profession a boost within the scientific community. The principle of neuroplasticity, the connection between the nerve system and immune system, the understanding of arthritic changes as they relate to poor posture, and many other findings, have given confidence to the public utilize chiropractic care first, before turning to non-corrective, potentially addictive pharmaceuticals. Essential Innervation. Essential Chiropractic. Nerve supply is essential for your cells, tissues, organs, and systems to function and perform properly. This is true for babies, toddlers, kids, teens, college students, pregnant moms, working people, fitness buffs, parents, senior citizens, and everyone else with a spine and nervous system, regardless of their age. This is the foundation of chiropractic practice with many techniques, specialties, and styles of care that have evolved over time. Specialties include pediatrics, family, generational care, sports, functional neurology, nutrition, rehabilitation, radiology, forensics, occupational health, geriatrics, and others. Chiropractic techniques may vary as well. One chiropractor may focus on the spine and nervous system only while others may include extremities, instruments, or complimentary services. No matter the style, a healthy nervous system and the correction of subluxations are a priority. The self-healing principle that chiropractic is based on is why healthy people as well as people with all types of symptoms, imbalances, and diagnoses utilize chiropractic care, often as a part of their lifestyle. Opportunities Abound in Chiropractic Opportunities abound with 68,000 chiropractors compared to 1.1 million medical doctors in the United States alone. Chiropractors are graduating at a rate less than the world needs to replenish those chiropractors that have retired or passed away. With 19 chiropractic colleges in the US, the largest chiropractic school is Life University in Georgia which also offers undergraduate programs, a healthy campus life, online education, and a vibrant alumni base. Their world-renowned Life Leadership Weekend is a way for prospective students to learn about the profession to see if it’s aligned with their personal holistic values. Outside of the US, the need is even more dramatic. With only 12 chiropractic schools in the entirety of Europe, many countries do not have a school at all. As an example, the European Union has 700 million people and less than 5,000 chiropractors. Even more shocking is China with some 1.3 billion people and only approximately 20 chiropractors. The demand is growing and it needs to be filled. The Largest and Safest Drugless, Non-Surgical Health and Healing Profession The effectiveness of chiropractic care is as exciting as it’s cost and safety. Malpractice rates are significantly lower for DCs than MDs, which helps keep both the cost of care and the risk to the patient down significantly. The Doctor of the Present Many of the doctors who are a part of The 100 Year Lifestyle Network, and others who are in private practice, have become leaders in their community through education as well as the care. With Big Pharma corruption being well-publicized over the past decade and their distrust by the public being high, chiropractors have “naturally” filled the health care gap for individuals and families. They have become “The Doctors of the Present.” A healthy spine and nervous system are essential for a healthy life, especially if you could live to 100. Make the most of every day, adjust your lifestyle, and enjoy a sensational century. The 100 Year Lifestyle Network Special thanks to Jenene Cherney for contributing to the creation of this article.

Four Brain Healthy Resolutions
by Dr. Patrick Porter Leave a Comment Share this:
A recent study published by the American Academy of Neurology indicates that aerobic exercise may play a significant role in reversing and preventing cognitive decline. We often associate aerobic exercise with cardiovascular health, but it turns out that the two are more closely linked than most of us realize. Particularly when combined with a heart-healthy diet, even a little exercise each day can result in significantly improved brain function in less than six months. Additionally, chiropractic adjustments have been shown to dramatically improve spinal movement which can nurture the function of your brain. Remember that the goal is sustainability; there’s no need to start training for a marathon. Even a leisurely walk each day will improve your brain health over time. Set a goal you know you can achieve. Quick successes will strengthen your motivation, and you can always set new goals as you gain strength and endurance that support your ideal 100 Year Lifestyle. Get your mind moving Make time every day for intentional mental activity. At this point in history, we have many options available to us that put our minds on autopilot, and much of our free time is spent doing those things. We can watch television or scroll through social media accounts for an unlimited amount of time, activities that require very little concentration or active comprehension. To keep our brains healthy, we must exercise our mental muscles. Like any other muscle, if they go unused too often or for too long, our minds can atrophy over time. Flex those muscles by doing crossword puzzles in the morning, having a long conversation with someone you love, playing a strategy-based board game with your kids, or picking up a good book before bed. Making use of your mind will keep it sharp. Prioritize sleep Our brains do some of their best work while we are at rest. As we move through the various stages of sleep, the brain does many critical jobs: clearing waste, filing memories, and categorizing knowledge are just a few. Getting enough quality sleep isn’t only about providing our body with necessary rest; it also gives our brain time to do the full scope of its work. Here are a few simple ways to improve your sleep in the coming year:
Mindfulness is simply an exercise in paying attention. It’s easy to go through our days with little awareness of our surroundings, our senses, and even our feelings. Mindfulness is the intentional practice of noticing what’s happening right in front of you, in this very moment. Mindfulness can be done as a meditation. For those who have a tough time clearing their minds during meditation, a mindfulness approach can be helpful; it allows them to notice their thoughts without attempting to control or stifle them. Mindfulness can also extend far beyond the meditation cushion. Every single moment can be approached from a place of awareness. When you’re going for a walk, you might pay attention to the way the breeze feels on your skin or the smell of the air around you. You might notice the sound your feet make as they hit the ground. The purpose of mindfulness is to bring you into the present moment; it can serve as a brain-break from multitasking and analysis. It is also useful in training your mind to follow your command, rather than the other way around. In addition to these approaches, the BrainTap team would love to partner with you on the road to optimal brain health! We have developed seven bundles, each available via our app on your IOS or Android device, aimed at helping you improve the health and function of your brain. We would love to provide you with resources for increased wellness as you begin thinking about how you want to feel a year from now.

“A pound of human flesh is worth about $111,475 and a whole body around $6 million. And those prices only cover raw materials, hormones, proteins, enzymes, RNA, DNA, amino acids, and other complex biochemicals that are the stuff of life,” Dr. Harold J. Morowitz said. “Fashioning the $6 million chemical shopping list into human cells might cost $6,000,000,000,000 [six thousand trillion dollars”, Morowitz estimates. “Assembling the resulting heap of cells into tissue, the tissue into organs, and organs into a warm body might drain all the treasuries of the world, with no guarantee of success,” Morowitz concluded. Morowitz was prompted to do the calculations by the popular saying that the materials which make up the average human body are worth only 97 cents. This piddling sum only reflects the market value of basic atomic elements—carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, iron, phosphorus, calcium, sodium—found in the molecules of the average body. A more appropriate measure, Morowitz thought, would be the retail cost of complete human biochemicals, most of which can be purchased from chemical specialty supply firms, so he began checking catalogues. The prices ranged from a modest $2.95 a gram for hemoglobin, the blood’s oxygen-carrying substance, to $17,500,000 a gram for Prolactic, a hormone that stimulates and helps regulate milk production by the female breasts. Other items in a do-it-yourself human kit would include DNA, at $768 a gram, crystalline insulin for $47.50 a gram, alkaline phosphatase at $225 a gram, and acetate kinase for $8,860 a gram, Morowitz found. “The real shocker came when I got to follicle-stimulating hormone at $4,800,000 a gram—clearly outside the reach of anything Tiffany’s could offer,” he said. “I’m going to suggest it as a gift for people who have everything. For the wealthy, there is prolactin at $175,000,000 a gram, street price.” Collagen, a fibrous protein “glue” that holds the body together, was a relative bargain at $15 a gram. Using the best scientific estimate of the amount of each biochemical in an average human body, Morowitz calculated that human tissue is worth $245.54 per gram dry weight, based on the catalogue prices. He computed his own 168-pound body weight in grams, subtracted the 68 percent that is water, and multiplied by $245.54. “The number literally jumped out at me—$6,000,015.44—I was a Six Million Dollar Man, no doubt about it, and really an enormous upgrade to my ego after the 97-cent evaluation,” Morowitz quipped.” From there Morowitz went on to calculate that assembly costs for a human body indeed are incalculable. More than 40 years after Morowitz made this calculation, it is still true that the top scientists in the world are not even close to making a single human cell using the raw materials and assembling that cell into a highly functional human being. Yet, your body’s Innate Intelligence makes trillions of new cells for you throughout your lifetime and as long as there is no interference, will keep you functioning at your highest level for a lifetime. Honor this Innate Intelligence through your lifestyle and health care choices. The chiropractic care we provide will work to optimize the function of your spine, brain and nervous system to support your body’s natural ability to heal itself and function optimally. No matter what your health concerns or goals may be, having providers on your team such as chiropractors, nutritionists, personal trainers and others who approach your care in this way can make all the difference for you on your quest for a sensational century. BY LADY CARLA DAVIS LEAVE A COMMENT At The 100 Year Lifestyle, we are supporters of a diverse, healthy diet rich in organic foods that are both tasty and well prepared. We often share recipes with our readers and are always on the lookout for nutritional information that can and should be part of your 100 Year Lifestyle. In addition to being the Executive Editor at Masters of Health magazine, Lady Carla Davis has a Master’s in Public Health specializing in Nutrition and is also a published author. We have asked Lady Carla to give us the lowdown on fats and oils with an eye to how we can take our favorite recipes and make them even healthier. We appreciate her sharing her wisdom with us! Below is an excerpt taken from the Nourishing Basics Cookbook by Lady Carla Davis, MPH. Food is a substance that nourishes and promotes growth. If a substance does not nourish and promote growth, it is a pollutant to the body that should be avoided. Nourish your family and yourself with fresh, wholesome food that is as close as possible to its natural state. Whenever possible, use organic ingredients. For fruits and vegetables, select fresh, tender, well-shaped products with bright colors. For protein, choose quality products that are either fresh or frozen. Frozen products from reputable companies are a good choice when fresh products are not available. To preserve enzymes and nutrients never over-cook, sear, or burn anything. Dietary fatty acids are available from two basic sources: animal and vegetable. Fatty acids are the building blocks of fats, much like amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Fats are the most concentrated form of energy and provide many life-supporting functions. Fats are the major constituent of all cell membranes in the body and help protect against invading allergens, bacteria, and viruses. Of the twenty fatty acids used by the body, only two (omega 3 and omega 6) cannot be manufactured by the body and must be supplied in balance on a daily basis. Thus, they are called essential fatty acids (EFAs). These EFAs (omega 3 and 6) in balance are necessary for brain and nerve development, along with maintenance of the heart, glands, and hormone production and balance. However, too much omega 6 can cause a deficiency of omega 3 and promote tumor growth. All fats are mixtures of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids in different proportions. Each group is vitally important. It is not the fats themselves that are detrimental to health; it is the damage done in the refining process and the imbalances and/or deficiencies created. Monounsaturates and Saturates can be heated at low temperatures (below 160C/320F). Saturates such as coconut oil, real butter, and ghee can be used in mild cooking as long as they are not burned or rancid. Fats and oils become rancid quickly at room temperature. Thus, always refrigerate them. Extra Virgin Olive oil, though mostly a monounsaturate, should not be used in normal cooking because of its omega 6 content. Instead, use cold-pressed, extra virgin olive oil, moderately for flavoring a dish (pasta, sauce, soup, salad, etc.) upon serving. Avoid “pure” or “light” olive oil and cheaper brands that secretly blend Canola oil with their olive oil. Polyunsaturated oils oxidize rapidly when exposed to heat, light, and oxygen. Thus, NEVER cook with them; cooking can damage even the best of oils. Once damaged, they cause free radical damage in the body and become endocrine disruptors and carcinogenic. Polyunsaturated flax seed oil is a good source of Omega 3 EFAs, but it should never be heated. It should be used only as an addition to a dish that is already cooked (soup and vegetables) or doesn’t require cooking such as salad. Unfortunately, most commercial oils are damaged in the refining and packaging (clear containers) process. Thus, avoid highly processed, damaged, hydrogenated, and GM/GE fats and oils. Also, avoid fried foods and food products (chips, fries, etc.) containing or prepared with damaged vegetable fats/oils, such as Canola, peanut, soy, corn, and high oleic safflower oils. Use only properly processed fats and oils from reliable sources such as Omega Nutrition. For cooking, use poultry broth, pure water, organic wine, or a small amount of butter, ghee, or coconut oil, which can take higher temperatures than other oils. Read the small ingredients section on the food label of every product you buy. Research the companies behind the products. And remember, fats/oils can be damaged by six factors: heat, hydrogenation, oxygen, light, homogenization, and genetic modification (GMO). Therefore, avoid all fats/oils such as margarine, spreads, and vegetable oils that have been damaged by any of these six processes. Culinarily curious? Interested in trying something new?

Who Are The Most Vulnerable People Seniors Elderly people are the most at-risk population for infection and serious complications due to COVID-19 or any other virus. The reason is not just because of their age. In fact, there was a recent report of a 102-year-old woman who recovered from the COVID-19 virus. What makes the elderly most vulnerable is that many of them are living lifestyles that include all of the additional factors listed below. Underlying Health Conditions People with underlying health conditions such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and other conditions, are more vulnerable as well. Their immune systems are already stressed and challenged, which makes them less able to ward off other types of infections. Watch Becoming A “Least Vulnerable Person” Now PolyPharmacy Polypharmacy is a term used for people who take multiple medications. This can alter blood and brain chemistry causing immunosuppression, hindering the body’s innate ability to fight infections. Marlo Sollitto, author of Polypharmacy in the Elderly, states that “Being on too many medications can lead to potentially dangerous drug interactions and exposure to many side effects at once. Keep in mind that this applies not to just prescriptions, but also over-the-counter medications… The average adult takes four or more prescription drugs each day.” Obesity According to the National Institute of Health, obesity, and overweight together are the second leading cause of preventable death in the US, close behind tobacco usage. An estimated 300,000 deaths per year are due to the obesity epidemic. Poor Posture Poor posture can increase stress on your body, reduce lung capacity, strain muscles, cause fatigue, and contribute to many other factors that affect your immune system. A recent Harvard study showed that people who sat with good posture showed a 25% decrease in Cortisol, the stress hormone. Sedentary On average, Americans sit for about 11 hours per day. Sedentary lifestyles are a contributing factor to every lifestyle disease and a risk factor including cardiovascular disease. Dr. Erin Michos, the associate director of preventive cardiology at the Johns Hopkins Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease explains “A large review of studies published in 2015 in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that even after adjusting for physical activity, sitting for long periods was associated with worse health outcomes including heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, and cancer. Sedentary behavior can also increase your risk of dying, either from heart disease or other medical problems.” Smokers Smoking is known to compromise the immune system. This increases the risk for many immune and autoimmune disorders, conditions that occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s healthy cells and tissues.

According to Johns Hopkins assistant professor of medicine, Lisa Yanek, people with a family history of heart disease who had a positive outlook were one-third less likely to have a heart attack or cardiovascular event within 5-25 years compared to those with a negative outlook. Another study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology compared optimistic vs. pessimistic first-year law students regarding their performance in the upcoming school year. The study showed better functioning immune cells in the optimistic students versus the pessimistic students.

A study published in the Journal of Sport and Health Science illustrated the following:
Stress is not an outside thing, it’s an inside thing. You have the opportunity to choose how you react to any situation. It is true that chronic stress reduces the capabilities of your immune system and makes you more vulnerable to disease.

He explains this concept in detail in this video. Quality sleep is important. Minimize your stress so that you sleep well. This will certainly make you reduce your vulnerability. Improve the Function of Your Nervous System Your nervous system is your body’s main communication highway, relaying nerve signals to every single, cell, tissue, and organ in the entire body, allowing the body to perform all vital functions in order to sustain life. It is ESSENTIAL to maintain the integrity of this communication highway in order to live a healthy lifestyle. More importantly, the nervous system supplies communication to the thymus, spleen, adrenal glands, and lymph glands, all of which play pivotal roles in the function of your immune system. Chiropractic care improves posture which can improve the health of your nervous system In addition, correcting spinal imbalances can influence basic physiological processes affecting oxidative stress and DNA repair. Reducing oxidative stress is an important factor in immune function. In a study by Ronald Pero Ph.D., subjects under chiropractic care demonstrated higher mean serum thiol levels than patients with active disease and produced some values that were higher than normal wellness values.

An Epidemic of Nerve Disorders
January 23, 2020 by Dr. Eric Plasker 3 Comments Nerve disorders ranging from autism in children, and Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease in seniors, represent just a fraction of the growing number of nerve conditions that are affecting people of all ages in our society today. So much so that Robert Zieve, MD recently wrote in an article called Neurological Disorders: The Growing Epidemic of the 21st-Century, that chronic neurological diseases are fast becoming the debilitating epidemic of our time. Different than the headline grabbing diseases such as cancer and heart disease that frighten us because they are potentially deadly, chronic neurological diseases can destroy our quality of life including our ability to think, be active and relate to other people. They also have the potential to cause chronic pain and suffering that can last for decades and making us a burden to our loved ones which is something that nobody would want. Dr. Zieve also states, “Having a healthy brain and nervous system is vital to being able to think clearly without which our active will lacks intelligent guidance and is weakened”. Your nervous system controls and coordinates the function of every cell, tissue, and organ in your body. Keeping your nervous system healthy as a priority and a part of your lifestyle is essential if you want to be healthy today as well as over the course of your entire lifetime. As the master controller, problems in the nervous system can cause or mimic any condition or disease you can name. This includes problems with the heart, lungs, hormones, stomach, intestines, reproductive glands as well as your arms, legs, fingers and toes. A healthy nervous system is essential for you to be able to adapt to your environment in a healthy way. Dr. Zieve states, “We live in a toxic world. The great majority of chemicals we now take in daily were not on the planet 30 years ago. These toxins become neurotoxins, damaging the nervous system.” You can control your exposure to many of these toxins by making healthier nutritional choices and avoiding environmental toxicity whenever possible. Chiropractic examinations are more important than ever because they evaluate the health of the spinal column and the nervous system. Spinal subluxations, one such condition that is extremely common in adults and children, can alter the function of your nervous system and affect your health on every level even though it may lie asymptomatic for decades. Conditions that affect your nerves can occur during the birth process, learning to walk, unhealthy foods, contact sports, stress, sitting too much and environmental toxicity, just to name a few. Waiting until neurological symptoms to show up means that your condition may have already become chronic. Don’t let this happen to you. Good nutrition is vital to a healthy nervous system and can help the body heal and prevent the effects of neurotoxins. Protein and amino acids are vital as they provide the building blocks for neurotransmitters. Strict vegans may need to supplement their diet with amino acids to fill any gaps that exist in their diet. B-complex vitamins also are important for nervous system function. Keeping your nervous system healthy can make a difference in your long term health and well being as well as you body’s ability to resist and adapt to your environment. Don’t wait for a crisis to force you to act. Make the health of your spine and nervous system a top priority. NOVEMBER 9, 2020 BY ZEN HONEYCUTT LEAVE A COMMENT Share this:

I just got my Freedom of Information Act back yesterday from the CDC and I’ve now submitted this information to lawyers. What has happened is that I submitted a Freedom of Information Act to the CDC and the FDA a little over three months ago because I wanted to know about any and all: records, documents, memos, advisements, statements, letters, rules, laws, policies, lab results, tests, agendas, minutes, or any other form of mention of glyphosate or glyphosate-based herbicides in any and all vaccines. Moms Across America tested five childhood vaccines and found glyphosate positive in all five of them. You can get up to speed with that story here: [ http://www.momsacrossamerica.com/glyphosate_in_childhood_vaccines ] The MMR vaccine was twenty-five times higher than the other childhood vaccines, and this was extremely disturbing. We shared this information with a close circle of scientists that we know, and one of them tested fourteen more vaccines, and he released that information to the CDC and the FDA last year. Because he had confirmed our results, we then went ahead and also released our information to the CDC and the FDA. They came back and said, vaccines are totally safe. They did not answer our question when they responded about whether or not they would test for glyphosate in vaccines. They just completely did not answer the question at all. They just said vaccines are highly tested…very safe. A big problem, right? The FDA also came back and said that they were discontinuing further testing for glyphosate in anything…they said anything because they questioned the reliability of the methodology. Now, why do you think they would do that? Why would the FDA suddenly stop testing everything for glyphosate the same week that I got a letter from the FDA which skirted the question regarding glyphosate in vaccines? I think what happened is that the FDA ( or the manufacturers) did indeed test for glyphosate in vaccines and they confirmed what we found. They found glyphosate in all of the vaccines. And, they know the implications of that. That would ruin the pharmaceutical industry. For those of you who don’t know, glyphosate has shown to break down the blood-brain barrier, and allow toxins into the brain. Toxins such as aluminum, mercury, polysorbate 80, formaldehyde, and the many, many others in vaccines which you can find listed on the CDC website. There are also the co-formulants that are in the glyphosate herbicide, which have been found to be a thousand times more harmful. I believe the FDA found glyphosate in vaccines, and they don’t want to release that information to the public. Therefore, they are just no longer going to test for glyphosate in anything anymore. Because of this, I requested a Freedom of Information Act about 4 months ago to find out what happened. (www.foia.gov). I received responses back stating that they were going to be working on it, so I know they looked into it. The CDC sent me a letter about a month ago claiming it is not their issue but rather the FDA’s issue! Yesterday, I received a letter from the CDC saying that we are giving you the information that we got from the FDA. I got fifty-six pages; FIFTY-SIX PAGES. It says some pages contain records that originated with the FDA and are obscured. After careful review of these pages, some information was withheld from a release pursuant to five USC 522 exemption. So what does that exemption look like? Blank pages! Every once in a while, we see an email saying “We need to respond to this, what do we say?” And then, more blank pages…more blank pages! What is the FDA hiding? What did they say? Why are they doing this? They say that information held under this exemption is protected under the deliberative process privilege. This protects the decision-making process of government agencies and materials that are both pre-decisional, and deliberative. The information withheld consists of draft documents. So whenever they are thinking about something or deliberating over it, they don’t have to release that information. They only have to release the decision that they made about it. So what decision did they make about it? Then what they get into is the other scientist’s information, his name is Samsel. He did his study independently, (from Moms Across America’s study as well). He tested fourteen vaccines. They only mention his science. They don’t show any documents of the test results that I sent them. They don’t show any of my letters. All they talk about is the letter that Samsel sent them and my results. His results are pretty high, and pretty damning, as well. So they show me that, but I’ve seen that already. Then they say, “We’re getting more public inquiries on glyphosate, and we decided to develop a general CDC response that we can recycle. Attached is a draft of the standard response that we plan to use when these inquiries come in. These are individual responses to public inquiries and not an official CDC control correspondence.” So because that’s a draft, what do I get to see? Nothing. I get blank documents. They get to hide their decision-making process, what they are saying, who they are collaborating with and they are legally protected. So is this freedom? Is this a Freedom of Information Act? Is this democracy? Is this what we are paying for with our tax dollars? I don’t think so. I think that more of us need to do Freedom of Information Acts. We need to get more lawyers on board. We need to make sure that the public is who is paying them with our tax dollars is holding the FDA accountable to do their job. Because we allow them to do it with our tax dollars, we need to be able to see the information, and what goes on inside the FDA. And here’s the facts folks; if they didn’t find glyphosate in vaccines, they would have told us that, don’t you think? They would have made that loud and clear. They have done nothing. They’ve told us nothing, and I think that is because they have tested. They have not put out anything to say that glyphosate is NOT in vaccines. As I said, glyphosate in vaccines means it’s breaking down the blood-brain barrier and is allowing the toxins into the brain. I’ve got to say this, mercury has been in vaccines since 1929. There was no huge spike in autism in 1929. The huge spike of autism came when glyphosate and GMOs were introduced into the food supply in the late 1990s. It is in the animal feed supply. The animals eat grains with over four hundred parts per million of glyphosate. Those animals eat those grains. It goes into their tendons and their bone marrow. Those tendons are ground up and made into gelatin. Gelatin is in vaccines. I just looked at a high dose flu shot. Gelatin is right in there. I believe my father was vaccine damaged last fall because there’s gelatin in that flu shot. He had to get surgery. He almost died, and I am mad about this. I am mad that they know that glyphosate is in vaccines, and they’re not protecting the public, and so we need to do something about this. We need you to share this. We need you to comment. We need other people to do Freedom of Information Act Requests for the CDC and the FDA, but most importantly, we need to educate each other. Glyphosate got into the animal feed supply and into our food in the late 1990s… ( same time as autism spike) Glyphosate weedkiller is destroying the gut bacteria, and it’s breaking down the blood-brain barrier. Both of those cause mental, behavioral disorders; ticking, stammering…autism symptoms and our children are being damaged, and some of them are being permanently damaged. Enough is enough. This has to stop. I’m asking everybody to please inform each other. Inform your doctors. If you can do a Freedom of Information Act, it takes a few minutes. Just Google “Freedom of Information Act,” and you can make the request to the FDA to find out more information. We are taking this to lawyers. We are not going to stop. We will not give up because the love for our children will never end, and you can count on Moms Across America. (We’ve got flyers. We just printed fifty thousand more.) When we eat organic, this makes the farmers move towards growing organic. they’ll stop growing crops using GMOs and chemical farming. The animals that eat the feed will not be eating GMO glyphosate sprayed grains anymore, and we can potentially get glyphosate out of vaccines. When we do that; I’m not saying that’s going to end all the problems, and I’m also not saying that’s the only thing that’s harming our children, but it will reduce the ability for those toxins in the vaccines to cause harm. (They also have to take out Polysorbate 80 because it also contributes to the factor.) We’re all in this together; GMO activists, health freedom activists, chemical aerial spraying; all the chemical companies are poisoning us, and the chemical companies and industrial farmers are one and the same. We’ve got to take matters into our own hands. If we don’t buy it, they can’t sell it. We’re going to keep going! Please share our movie, Communities Rising. I’m so happy to see so many of you know about this and I know you’re doing something about it. Protect your kids, protect your family, share this, and raise awareness. We’re not giving up. -Zen Honeycutt Founder and Executive Director, Moms Across America SEPTEMBER 20, 2020 BY DR. ERIC PLASKER 2 COMMENTS
