We are your moms, dads, brothers, and sisters, spouses and friends. We are suffering, often silently, with confusing, troubling symptoms that the current medical system hasn’t addressed. It might look like we’re okay, but we are not.

A certain percentage of people – in the thousands – who had the covid vaccine are suffering with debilitating symptoms. Our lives, in many cases, have been ruined with terrifying symptoms, leaving many of us with the inability to work. The widespread general denial – even bullying – of those facing symptoms is making matters worse.

We continuously find doctors who do not know how to help, as this is not yet a recognized issue by the CDC and FDA. Many doctors even refuse to see us, if the vaccine is mentioned as a possible cause.

We each believed the science, and did our social duty to help stop the pandemic. Now, in return, we ask that you acknowledge these adverse reactions, that you help us where possible, and that you help us press for desperately needed medical research and attention.

We firmly refuse to be dragged into the political debates surrounding the pandemic, yet many of us are afraid to speak out due to intense social pressures and denials. Thousands of us have gathered online to try and help each other. Our websites and groups have been deleted and the sufferers have been told that no such reactions to the vaccines exist. Some of us have been fired from our jobs for just sharing our experience. Some of us have been fired from our doctors for just mentioning the vaccine.

Even though we’ve been called names and bullied, and we’re scared to tell our stories – we must. So many are continuing to struggle physically, and we can’t do this alone.

We need your help. Our aim are these – and only these – points:

  1. Raise awareness so our medical issues will be acknowledged,
  2. Help others like us who are suffering from many months of symptoms, and
  3. Work with the medical community to bring resources and solutions for a cure.


Please, recognize our pain. Please share our stories! Please help bring pressure for this issue to be heard, and to be solved. Please don’t treat us like outcasts, but like someone suffering the medical effects of this terrible pandemic.

We thank you! We appreciate you! And we look forward to rejoining you when we are healthy again.

Censored COVID Vaccine Victims Demand Answers In Private Facebook Group

By Alicia Powe
Published July 6, 2021 at 7:30am

As Big Tech, the Biden Administration, Hollywood, politicians, employers and health care providers around the nation galvanize the public to undergo Covid vaccination, the number of casualties who have died or suffer life-threatening effects from the experimental mRNA injections continues to climb.

Those who don’t want to be herded into the mass drug trial are told to just “get on with it” so we can “safely” move on with our lives.

Amid an unprecedented effort to censor “vaccine hesitancy,” thousands who are experiencing the vaccines’ ill effects are resorting to a private Facebook group to sound the alarm on the medical malpractice.

In post after post, over 25,900 members of “The COVID 19 Vaccine Victims & Families Group” detail the horrific health abnormalities they have suffered, including strokes, blood clots, excessive bleeding, heart palpitations, needle-like pain in their limbs and paralysis, after receiving Moderna, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca vaccines.  (See link for article)

Irrespective of the heartbreaking testimonies, Facebook inserts a disclaimer on each of the group members’ posts to assure users the vaccines are “safe” and “effective.”

How many more must needlessly die or become maimed due to the wanton censorship of effective treatments and these ineffective, dangerous COVID injections that don’t stop you from becoming ill, transmitting it, or dying from it?

What is in the PCR Tests? Metal, Glass, Lithium, Ethylene Oxide, & Graphene Oxide Found in Masks & Swabs, As Well as a Parasite in COVID Injections

**UPDATE**

More has come out on how nano graphene is the most destructive technology ever invented, but happens to make up more than 99% of Pfizer’s COVID injection, and was found in all the shots tested including Pfizer, AstraZeneca, J&J, and Moderna.

The human body treats it like a pathogen and attracts a web or crown of inflammatory  proteins to deal with it, which bears an uncanny resemblance to the crown of the coronavirus. The stealth nano particles are coated with the hydrophilic polymer PEG to dodge the immune system. This referenced article also asks if the triangle of injectable/intranasal modified nanoparticle drug delivery, the rapid expansion of 5G, and the insect diet being promoted (see “Insects on the menu” in this Substack) is to enhance the graphene in the body making it a sensor to gather and transmit information.

See this brief 4 minute video by independent journalist Greg Reese 

Reese has exposed how there are different variations of the shots and that several different batch numbers were deployed – some far more deadly than others. An investigation comparing the flu vaccine to the COVID shot reveals that there was a significant association between state political inclination and COVID shot state adverse event reporting, which was confirmed by the CDC.

Many are unaware that clinical trial participants were given a “clean shot,” while everyone else was given plasmid contaminated shots.  This significant DNA contamination matters.

Graphene is also used in geoengineering and sprayed in the sky for cloud seeding.

What is in the PCR tests?

Evolve to Ecology
Carlita Shaw is an Environmental Biologist & Health Freedom Writer/ Author
PCR test rod particles can act like asbestos in the body

The experimental physicist and biomaterial researcher Dr Antonietta Gatti examined various PCR test rods under the microscope and analyzed their ingredients. Antonietta M. Gatti, Ph.D. is also the coordinator of the Italian Institute of Technology’s Project of Nanoecotoxicology, called INESE.

The irritating result: the PCR test swabs are made of hard materials and contain a variety of (nano) particles made of silver, aluminium, titanium, glass fibres etc, many of which are undeclared in the package leaflet. When they enter the mucous membrane, they can cause wounds and inflammation, the scientist said. ENT doctors told 2020News that they are finding more hardened mucous membranes in people who are often tested for SARS-CoV-2. No longer intact mucous membranes can no longer fulfill their task of repelling viruses, bacteria and fungi before they reach the airways, as the pediatrician Eugen Janzen also reports. The germs thus penetrate into the airways without any immune filter. 

Particularly problematic in this context: the warm breath moisture under the masks is the ideal breeding ground for germs of all kinds.

**Comment**

According to another independent test on PCR swabs in Slovakia, the material they found was Darpa patented hydrogel, lithium, and nylon.  

Important excerpt:

”After spawning a mixture of nylon fiber fragments, Darpa Hydrogel remains on the nasal mucosa under the pituitary and pineal gland along with lithium. This mixture immediately reacts with living structures to form crystals that are directionally oriented to the pineal gland, which has its own electromagnetic field. The shape of the crystals determines the type of hydrogel used. The crystals are conductive due to the lithium contained in it. The crystals can receive the signal from the transmitter to the cell and transmit signals from the cell to the transmitter. These are actually nano-antennas.”

Lithium, aluminum, and mercury (widely used in vaccines) are highly toxic to the pineal gland. In low doses lithium blocks it and in higher doses it can completely destroy it.  

Important excerpt:

”Darpa Hydrogel and lithium block and destroy the pineal gland and cause the thinking person to become a controllable biorobot. A hydrogel is a carrier of an active substance, its task is to get the substance into the body at a pre-desired place.” – Nutritruth.org

  • Interestingly, Ivermectin which has been found to be an effective, safe treatment for COVID, dissolves the hydrogel crystals.
  • Ivermectin is also being used for recovery of post-injection adverse reactions as it binds with the spike protein thereby helping the body to eliminate it.
  • This cheap treatment has been widely censored by our corrupt public health ‘officials’. 
Corrupt public health does not want you to recover.

PCR tests despite their great erroneous false positives and lack of gold standard are sterilized with ethylene oxide, used as a pesticide in agriculture which just happens to cause cancer. 

Gatti’s research shows the PCR swab destroys our natural mucosa membrane leaving us more susceptible to further viral infection.  Additionally, it appears the hydrogel is causing blood clots in the blood vessels.

It is also ironic that getting COVID injections also makes people more susceptible to further viral infection.  Efficacy is extremely low. In fact, they are estimated to be less than 1% effective.  Further, the injections do not prevent infection or transmission.  All gene-based injections can be expected to cause blood clotting, bleeding, and other adverse events, particularly with:

each re-vaccination and each intervening coronavirus exposure. Over time, whether months or years [35], this renders both vaccination and coronaviruses dangerous to young and healthy age groups, for whom without vaccination COVID-19 poses no substantive risk.  Source

These injections are driving the virus to mutate into deadlier variants less responsive to vaccination.

The flu vaccine also puts people at a 36% greater risk of getting COVID through something called “viral interference.”  Dr. Liliana Zelada shows that the influenza vaccine also contains graphene oxide.

Excerpt:  

..after saying that indeed those who are vaccinated DO get more acute pathogen-creating illness, like CORONAVIRUS, that should make us all wonder if there are any connections here. The  acknowledging that patients DO get ill after flu shots from these other viruses (VIRAL INTERFERENCE) is priceless yet disturbing. Basically patients have been made to feel like they were wrong for decades.  I am sure deaths too, have been involved but to correctly blame it on the vaccine has been taboo.  Mutating bacteria and viruses are possible for sure and vaccines can also be responsible for that.  Source

Graphene Oxide Found in masks, PCR Swabs, and COVID injections

Please see the following video on 5G plus Graphene Nanoparticles

Go here to listen to an ozone practitioner explain how graphene cuts the body up from the inside out causing spontaneous microclotting.  She shows an example as well.
Graphene Oxide nanoparticles have been found by electron microscopy and spectroscopy, among other techniques to be in the COVID PCR and antigen testing swabs, masks, and injections.

Recently someone translated the Spanish study, “Nanotechnological Investigations on COVID-9 Vaccines: Detection of Toxic Nanoparticles of Graphene Oxide and Heavy Metals,” into English.  Spanish version here:  informe-es(1)  Here is an abstract & technical report in English:  https://www.researchgate.net/publication/355979001_DETECTION_OF_GRAPHENE_IN_COVID19_VACCINES

Microscopy expert Dr. Robert Young also shows that COVID vials contain graphene oxide, parasites (Trypanosoma Cruzi), stainless steel, and other metals and contents: GrapheneOxideVaccinePaperUpdated7

The pictures are quite clear that COVID injections contain graphene oxide and other potentially harmful substances.  Since these substances are not disclosed in the manufacturer’s technical data sheets, the researchers are calling for a stop to the injections and for extensive, independent counter-analysis be done on all COVID shots. The nanoparticles found are not biocompatible and can cause thrombotic activity, hemorrhaging, strokes, myocarditis, and can enter the brain.
 
In this important 8 minute video, Dr. Astrid Stuckelberger hypothesizes that graphene, an accelerator, was used in the injections to transport the spike protein widely in the body as autopsies are now discovering. She also explains that besides graphene, metals, transistors, and parasite eggs that release parasites when warmed to body temperature, were found in the injections.
 
German doctors have also discovered that the blood of those getting the COVID injections is changing, and a Canadian doctor has discovering microclotting in 65% of his “vaxxed” patient’s blood.
 
In this important Q & A video, a highly credentialed scientist from a top 10 science testing facility states that recent testing has now confirmed that the highly toxic element graphene is in our precipitation, along with an already long list of toxins including aluminum nanoparticles. Surfactants have also been confirmed in recent precipitation testing. Climate intervention operations are ubiquitously contaminating the entire planet and every breath we take. While the ‘authorities’ blame ‘climate change,’ they in fact are behind the true damage.
 

This study shows how graphene oxide in rats not only down-regulates glutamatergic synapses but changes synaptic function which is crucial to learning and memory. These changes are implicated in several brain diseases from dementia to anxiety disorders.  

In April, Health Canada issued an advisory warning people not to use face masks which contain graphene or biomass graphene. The reason? Graphene in masks could damage your lungs. They recently updated their guidance and essentially state: nothing to see here.

A large consortium funded by the EU is conducting research on graphene as an “anxiety-reversal agent” which affects the brain. They have published an article, “Soothing the symptoms of anxiety with graphene oxide.”  They found the following:

  • graphene oxide inhibits anxiety-related behaviors 
  • injecting it into a specific region of the brain silences neurons responsible for anxious behavior

Investigative journalist Jon Rappoport asks: “What happens when you walk around all day, day after day, breathing in graphene through a mask? What happens to your lungs? To your brain? To your feelings? To the quality of your thoughts?”

Interestingly, the completely and hopelessly corrupt CDC states that “anxiety” is causing adverse reactions to the COVID injections. What better way to alleviate these fears than with continual dosing of graphene oxide?

The flu vaccine contains graphene oxide nanoparticles and the new flu vaccines and the new intranasal COVID vaccines they are preparing also contain huge doses of graphene oxide nanoparticles. 

Graphene nanoparticles cause hypercoagulation (thick blood) which in turn causes blood clotting.  It also causes a cytokine storm that alters the immune system negatively and lessens glutathione.  It is a a superconductor.  If exposed you get a metallic taste and eventually a loss of taste and smell.  It also explains the magnetic phenomenon (being able to put metal on the injection site and having it stick) after receiving the COVID injection.

We had access to a sealed vial from Pfizer, and by means of a request for services to a university, specifically in my name, it was sent for an analysis of the vial, where we were looking for the material in question: graphene. After some time of investigation by Dr. Pablo Campra Madrid, Doctor in Chemical Sciences, Bachelor in Biological Sciences and member of the University of Almeria, we obtained this preliminary report where we are told that there is indeed solid evidence of graphene oxide in the sample and that it is also the main component of what they wrongly called a vaccine. 

In short, graphene oxide behaves exactly like the supposed SARS-CoV-2 of the official version, generating the same symptomatology of severe COVID-19. When installed at the neuronal level, it causes neurodegeneration or, in other words, neurological COVID-19.

So, from here we started to see what possible compounds, drugs and treatments could degrade graphene oxide. And look what we found: N-acetylcysteine (NAC) or glutathione administered degrades it. Because what glutathione does is counteract free radicals and oxidants, all the toxins that can enter the body.

We now fully understand why those treatments worked: because they addressed all the symptoms of the disease supposedly caused by SARS-CoV-2. Given that to date there is no scientific evidence of an actual sequencing and isolation of SARS-CoV-2, we suspect with many credible indications that COVID-19 disease is actually the side effect of the introduction of graphene oxide into the body by different ways. 

‘Researchers at Karolinska Institutet, the University of Manchester and Chalmers University of Technology have shown that the human immune system handles graphene oxide in a manner similar to pathogens, possibly leading to safer biomedical applications in the future.’ Source

Dr. José Luis Sevillano proposes a preventive treatment for Panamanian colleagues who at a conference were very interested in treating patients with zinc, glutathione, and N-acetylcysteine (NAC).  These antioxidants have been found to help the body detoxify graphene oxide.  

I highly recommend the article: “Unambiguous Signals for Graphene in COVID-19 Shots,” by Dr. Jesse Santiano M.D.

Of note:  The FDA is trying to ban NAC.  Coincidence?

Also, COVID broke out first in Wuhan, China where 5G was first rolled out in late November, 2019.

One definitely gets the feeling those in power do not want people to achieve health.

Another doctor addresses graphene oxide here.

Another doctor’s take on it here.

Excerpt:

As stated by this group of researchers:

The masks being used and currently marketed contain graphene oxide. Not only the ones that were withdrawn at the time, as indicated by the media, the swabs used in both PCR and antigen tests also contain graphene oxide nanoparticles.

The COVID vaccines in all their variants, AstraZeca, Pfizer, Moderna, Sinovac, Janssen, Johnson & Johnson, etc., also contain a considerable dose of graphene oxide nanoparticles. This has been the result of their analysis by electron microscopy and spectroscopy, among other techniques used by various public universities in our country.  Source

This article points out the graphene in face masks are nanoscopically thin, hexagonally-arranged flakes of carbon atoms.  Current science indicates that if the material is inhaled and gets into the lower lungs, it can lead to an inflammatory response at high enough concentrations. There is also evidence that the jagged edges of graphene particles can harm cells, also leading to damage. The author states he reached a “dead end” in his search for evidence on the release of graphene particles in face masks.  

He states lack of findings are a red flag because small quantities of this material have the potential to cause a lot of harm – 5-10 um in diameter could potentially be a health hazard.

The irony here is that hundreds of millions of dollars have been poured into studying the risks of engineered nanomaterials over the past couple of decades. Yet when it comes to real-world products and real-world risks, no-one seems to be asking the questions that count, or providing answers!  – Andrew Maynard

It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to see the potential problem here so poignantly pointed out by free-lance investigative journalist Jon Rappoport:

**UPDATE – August 2021**

In an interview with Dr. Mylo Canderian, Ph.D., developer of the graphene oxide patent as a Hematological Bioweapon in 2015, states those “vaccinated” with the COVID shots will all die within a maximum window of 10 years. 

  • The “vaccinated” having a 20% graphene oxide deterioration in their blood, barring any other input criteria, live for 8 years (10 years less 20%). 
  • Those with 70% graphene oxide deterioration will not live more than 3 years (10 years less 70%). 
  • When asked about what effect boosters have, Mylo replied it can all be determined through blood testing.  The more shots and boosters get the worse their blood will look under the microscope and the “quicker they will turn to fertilizer.”

Graphene oxide and 5G were the main sources of attraction at the Mobile World congress.  Bill Gates’ Microsoft patent made on March 26, 2020 for a “body Activity Data” apparatus #WO2020060606,  which is described as a “Cryptocurrency System Using Body Activity Data,” senses body activity of the user.

“Human body activity associated with a task provided to a user(1) may be used in a mining process of a cryptocurrency system. A server may provide a task to a device of a user which is communicatively coupled to the server(2). A sensor communicatively coupled to or comprised in the device(3) of the user may sense body activity of the user. Body activity data may be generated based on the sensed body activity of the user. The cryptocurrency system communicatively coupled to the device of the user may verify if the body activity data satisfies one or more conditions set by the cryptocurrency system(4), and award cryptocurrency to the user whose body activity data is verified.”(5)  https://operation-nation.com/bill-gates-microsoft-file-patent-for-dystopian-body-activity-data-implants/
The patent states that “conditions set by the cryptocurrency system” can be awarded cryptocurrency to the user.  In other words, if you are a good boy or girl you get points.  What happens if you aren’t a good boy or girl?
I posted about Gates’ push for vaccine tracking here: 
https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/04/03/gates-on-record-people-will-need-certificates-to-travel/ and here:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/04/02/us-govt-johnson-johnson-prep-for-1-billion-coronavirus-vaccine-doses-implantable-tattoos-google-app-to-monitor-people/  
Excerpt:

These ‘digital certificates’ are human-implantable ‘QUANTUM-DOT TATTOOS’ that researchers at MIT and Rice University are working on as a way to hold vaccination records. It was last year in December when scientists from the two universities revealed that they were working on these quantum-dot tattoos after Bill Gates approached them about solving the problem of identifying those who have not been vaccinated.

Quote by Gates to the Financial Times:

“YOU DON’T HAVE A CHOICE. NORMALCY ONLY RETURNS WHEN WE’VE VACCINATED THE ENTIRE GLOBAL POPULATION.”

Beyond the very real issue of graphene, masks simply do not work for viruses.  This has been shown with a large scale Danish study, a review of all the studies done, as well as through expert testimony.

Now, Tyson Gabriel, an industrial hygienist, safety engineer, and risk manager who trains doctors and has 20 years of experience implementing exposure prevention plans in industry, and is lead researcher for his team, has examined each mask study on the CDC’s website.  Also see these reports.

Our corrupt health ‘authorities’ also never mention the negative impacts of masks.

Researchers from Germany similarly questioned whether a mask that covers your nose and mouth is “free from undesirable side effects” and potential hazards in everyday use. It turns out they pose significant adverse effects and pathophysiological changes, including the following, which often occur in combination:

Increase in dead space volume

Increase in breathing resistance

Increase in blood carbon dioxide

Decrease in blood oxygen saturation

Increase in heart rate

Decrease in cardiopulmonary capacity

Feeling of exhaustion

Increase in respiratory rate

Difficulty breathing and shortness of breath

Headache

Dizziness

Feeling of dampness and heat

Drowsiness

Decrease in empathy perception

Impaired skin barrier function with acne, itching and skin lesions

The COVID-19 “vaccine” injured are being treated similarly to Lyme/MSIDS patients – as if they have mental illness or are making it up.  I’m thankful these stories are coming out – although they are highly censored.  These people, similarly to tick-borne illness patients, want to be seen and heard, but those in high places just want to push it under the rug.  The numbers of those reacting to these injections is much, much higher than is being reported.

“Healing Can’t Happen in a Bubble of Fear”

https://www.lymedisease.org/amy-scher-bubble-of-fear/

Amy Scher: “Healing can’t happen in a bubble of fear”

By Amy B. Scher

In order to fully heal, you are going to have to let go and lighten up (mostly on yourself).

That’s what I tell people when they are trying to micro-manage every itty bit of themselves and their protocols in order to heal. It may seem like an easy suggestion to follow after all they’ve been through. However it was personally one of the most difficult parts of healing for me to embrace.

I lived in a bubble of fear, worried that everything I did or didn’t do would make or break my healing. But  eventually, it became clear to me that healing will not (and cannot) happen in a bubble of fear. Fear is contradictory to the environment that is needed for wellbeing.

While much went into my ultimate recovery from Lyme, the act of lightening up and letting go had one of the most profound impacts on my journey.

When we suppress ourselves, we can end up feeling anxious, depressed, and sick. If healing is all about getting free to experience a full life again, we must also pay attention to freeing ourselves from the patterns and behaviors that no longer serve us.

Lightening up does not always come easy, but it’s so worth it, and it does come if we let it.

The tyranny of perfectionism

My parents raised me with all the love and silliness you’d expect from the hippies that they were. They always praised me as smart, sweet, artistic, and kind.

But instead of taking these compliments as truth, the part of me that analyzed and internalized everything contorted them into a rule: I must be perfect.

With no one else requiring this of me, I took perfection on as my calling, my purpose. As I grew older, the pressure of this piled on me like a thousand pounds. I strived to be the one who made everyone happy and was celebrated for great things, but I also longed to be one whose faults went unnoticed.

When I strayed from the person I thought I should be—by not getting perfect grades, not being the perfect friend, or making a mistake—my insides would clench. I spent a lot of time rehearsing in my head what things I could have done differently, better. Even though my parents didn’t seem  bothered by any of my imperfections, I worried I might somehow be less of a shining star to them.

By the time I’d been suffering with chronic illness and my body had been falling apart for a good long while, I had assigned much of the blame to myself. Somehow, I must have not done this life thing good enough, perfect enough. Now, perfection was something I owed to the people around me as an apology for being the glaring burden I felt myself to be. I tried hard to convince myself I deserved mercy in this new small life, yet still, even on my near-deathbed, I felt I wasn’t doing sick perfect enough.

The truth is this: I was unloved by myself long before my physical body went astray. And it had become painfully obvious that this pattern was crushing my being and assaulting my immune system. At some point, I decided that if I didn’t lighten the f**k up, this pattern of perfection was going to kill me. I sensed that maybe it had already started to in some way.

The self-criticism trap

You cannot bully yourself into doing enough good or being good enough to feel good—and good enough to be loved, especially by yourself. That’s just not how it works.

Thanks to Stanford University’s Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education, we now have scientific data that shows us how and why self-criticism isn’t healthy. (Although we probably didn’t need scientific proof on this one). Self-criticism “makes us weaker in the face of failure, more emotional, and less likely to assimilate lessons from our failures.”

In fact, in a 2012 study published in the US National Library of Medicine, a link between self-compassion and negative states such as depression and anxiety was apparent across 20 studies. Because self-compassion is associated with lower levels of self- criticism, and self-criticism is known to be an important predictor of anxiety and depression, this is where we’re going to start our work.

Even outside of these examples, there has been much information that’s emerged over the years on how positive emotions, including love and acceptance, have a direct impact on your physiology, particularly your nervous system. If you beat yourself up all the time about what you are or aren’t doing, it makes sense that your system would read that self-criticism as danger and stress and react to it in just that way.

The practice of self-compassion is learning to lighten up on yourself just as you would with someone close to you who you loved and cared for. You’ve probably been criticizing yourself for a long time. If this hasn’t worked yet, it’s probably time to try something new

Release attachment to symptoms

During my experience with illness, I spent a lot of time obsessing over every new sensation in my body. I was in a state of constant overdrive, trying to figure out what each symptom was from or how to make it go away. I always alerted my doctors, who also seemed perplexed by what they meant, which of course made me feel even more worried.

Ultimately, I started to approach my body and its symptoms as not warning signs of something severe (as long as my doctor had already been notified), but as just something my body was doing that may not have a clear-cut explanation. I learned how, sometimes, to just let my symptoms be, releasing the massive amounts of energy I spent consumed by trying to solve them.

This is what I learned: sometimes they mean nothing.

We spend so much time analyzing our symptoms, guessing what they could mean, and obsessing over when they’ll go. And sometimes, we need to do that. But other times, we need a break. The truth is that despite all of our incessant “figuring out,” sometimes we just won’t know what our body is doing. We also won’t always know what healing might be taking place despite the raging symptoms. I had my worst month of symptoms came just before I turned a corner toward healing.

Give yourself permission to live a little

I spent most of my life in California, where I ate organic food, held my breath when I walked by a smoker, and focused on controlling my environment to control my health. After I was diagnosed with chronic Lyme, I became even more attuned to my lifestyle and surroundings—afraid that every misstep would kill me.

The turning point for me happened when I was in India in 2007, where I had traveled for stem cell treatment. That was my first hint that I needed to learn to let go. I had to. No choice. No time to get used to an entirely different world and medical system.

At the request of one of the nurses, I had given the staff at the hospital a list of foods I could and could not eat. On the could list: protein and veggies. On the could not list: everything else. Over the years, my brain had been programmed with messages like dairy is bad because it causes inflammation, sugar feeds the Lyme bacteria, and carbs are evil. And while maybe some of that has truth to it, being ridiculously strict about my diet only caused me more intense stress.

When the doctor saw the list, she came to my room with it and asked, “But what about your healthy cells? They need some sugar. Dairy is not bad for them. Carbs are okay in moderation! Each night, you can have a small amount of red wine and chocolate. You need some pleasure too.” All I could think was, Are you trying to kill me?

An epiphany

It wasn’t until I was squatting on a mud-smudged grocery store floor that what she said began to sink in. My whole existence for years had been dedicated to “killing” Lyme. I had built my entire life around Lyme disease, the one thing that I didn’t want. What about the rest of me?

“Mom! Look!” I had found a packaged chocolate lava cake, the kind where you add hot water to the plastic tray full of batter and it magically puffs up into dessert. It was inflatable chocolate cake, and it was a miracle in a country that was hard for me to find food I enjoyed.

This is when I had an epiphany that informed the rest of my healing journey:

What if, in my furious effort to find the cure, I had been missing something critically important all along? What if I loosened the death grip I had on my own life? What if healing is beyond what you eat and how perfectly you take your supplements? What if enjoying life and lightening up didn’t look like healing, but was a tiny step toward it?

Chocolate cake, just like the other lessons I learned, would become part of my protocol; one that brought me joy and helped to teach me that the healing journey doesn’t always look like perfection. Sometimes it looks like lightening and loosening up.

Some great advice in here.  I couldn’t help considering the COVID debacle that’s been thrust upon us.  The same advice about being unable to heal while in a ‘bubble of fear’ is also true for a virus.  Fear is an emotion that will zap your strength and lower your immune system by putting you in hyper-drive, yet this is precisely what our corrupt public health ‘authorities’ have foisted upon an unsuspecting public.

Firstly, accepting death is #1 on the list toward living fully while on planet earth.  Secondly, (despite the denial by public health authorities and a complicit main stream media) there are effective treatments for both COVID and Lyme/MSIDS.  Obtaining good medical help is crucial, and in my experience Lyme literate doctors (LLMD’s) are probably your best bet for both illnesses as they are open-minded, up to date on the science, and willing to go outside the box.  When I felt like I was on death’s door from COVID, my LLMD utilized his knowledge once again and squared me away.  I write about the treatment that worked here. Within 1-2 doses I felt like a new person – demonstrating the importance of effective treatment.

These attributes are what make a good doctor, yet for both diseases we are clearly seeing the monopolization of medicine where doctors not following the narrative are censored, bullied, maligned, and persecuted.

It’s an old, old tactic that continues to be deployed.

Heart Inflammation Linked to COVID Vaccines in Study of U.S. Military, Department of Defense Confirms

**UPDATE March 2022**

More reported military DEATH from COVID shots than from COVID.

U.S. attorney: 1,100% increase in military deaths following COVID shots. 

HIV protein added to shots to disable autoimmunity (disarm your immune system) so lipid nanoparticles can get through your cellular defense.  Those getting COVID shots are testing positive for HIV and those getting three shots have destroyed their immune systems.

**Update, Aug. 21, 2021**

Despite documented adverse reactions, deaths, and heart inflammation, COVID jabs are now mandated for the military as of Sept. 15, despite being experimental, fast-tracked injections approved under mysterious circumstances. Soldiers with natural immunity are now fighting back by filing a lawsuit against the Pentagon, the DOD, FDA, and HHS. Also, America’s Frontline Doctors have filed a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) against mandating these dangerous injections for military members with existing immunity.  The military in fact has existing laws and regulations providing exemption from vaccination for those with natural immunity, however commanders have already told servicemen and women that religious, medical, and serological exemptions will be denied.

Guess how many soldiers have died from COVID?  Would you believe only 26 (as of Jun 25, 2021)?  According to U.S. Army Dr. Theresa Long, only 12 were in active duty.

And yet, they are now mandated to get injections that have caused more injuries and death than all injuries and death combined in a 30 year history of VAERS, which is known to only capture about 1% of adverse events.  According to a doctor who served 9 years as a Navy physician and surgeon and who also studied bioweapons:

… the “vaccine” program has ostensibly killed more of our young active duty people than COVID did.  Dr. Lee Merritt

Heart Inflammation Linked to COVID Vaccines in Study of U.S. Military, Department of Defense Confirms

In a study published June 29 in JAMA Cardiology, researchers described 23 cases of myocarditis in healthy military members who developed the condition within four days of receiving the Pfizer or Moderna COVID vaccines.

By Megan Redshaw

A new study of U.S. service members found higher than expected rates of heart inflammation following a COVID vaccine.

A new study of U.S. service members found higher than expected rates of heart inflammation following receipt of a COVID vaccine. It’s a finding Defense Department researchers say should call attention to the condition, known as myocarditis, as a potential side effect of vaccinations.

In a study published June 29 in JAMA Cardiology, U.S. military physicians described 23 cases of myocarditis in previously healthy males who developed the condition within four days of receiving a COVID vaccine.

A total of 23 male patients (22 currently serving in the military and 1 retiree) with a median age range of 25 years were evaluated between January and April 2021 for acute-onset chest pain following vaccination with an mRNA COVID vaccine.

All military members were previously healthy with a high level of fitness. They were physically fit by military standards and lacked any known history of cardiac disease, significant cardiac risk factors or exposure to cardiotoxic agents.

Seven military members received Pfizer’s COVID vaccine and 16 received the Moderna vaccine. Each patient had a final diagnosis of myocarditis without infectious, ischemic or autoimmune etiologies identified. Diagnoses were reviewed and met the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) case definition criteria for probable myocarditis.

All patients presented with acute chest pain and significantly elevated cardiac troponin levels (10-fold to 400-fold the upper limits of their respective reference ranges) with symptom onset within 12 to 96 hours following COVID vaccination.CHD Calls on FDA to Take COVID Vaccines Off the Market – Submit a Comment

According to the study, physicians expected to find eight or fewer cases of myocarditis among the 436,000 male military members who received two mRNA doses. But 20 military members developed inflammation after their second dose, including 14 after the Moderna shot and six after the Pfizer shot. Three developed myocarditis after their first vaccine.

Cardiac symptoms resolved within a week of onset for 16 patients, but seven continued to have chest pain at the time of publication.

The researchers stated that while the true incidence of myocarditis is unknown at this time, the presentation pattern and clinical course suggest an association with an inflammatory response to vaccination.

The team concluded that increased attention to myocarditis as a potential adverse event following vaccination is warranted.

New study supports link between mRNA COVID vaccines and heart inflammation

A separate study published in JAMA Cardiology on June 29 investigated seven cases of acute myocarditis. Four cases occurred within five days of COVID vaccination between Feb. 1 and April 30.

All four patients had received the second dose of an mRNA vaccine and presented with severe chest pain, had biomarker evidence of myocardial injury, were hospitalized and had test results consistent with myocarditis.

“It is possible that these four cases of acute myocarditis represent a rare, potential adverse event linked to mRNA COVID-19 vaccination,” researchers wrote. “The findings from the present report raise the possibility of an association between mRNA COVID-19 vaccination and acute myocarditis.”

An association between COVID vaccines and myocarditis was first reported in Israel with a case study in February involving a 19-year-old male.

On April 26, details leaked from an Israeli Health Ministry report raising concerns among experts about a possible link between the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID vaccine and myocarditis.

A preliminary report by an Israeli committee tasked with monitoring vaccine side effects found 62 cases of myocarditis, including two deaths, in people who received the Pfizer vaccine. Fifty-six cases occurred after the second dose of the vaccine, and 55 cases occurred in men — most between the ages of 18 and 30.

The two patients who died were reportedly healthy until receiving the vaccine and had no pre-existing conditions.

On April 27, Reuters reported the U.S. Department of Defense was investigating 14 cases of heart inflammation among people who were vaccinated through the military’s health services.

On June 2, Israeli health officials confirmed a probable link between the Pfizer’s COVID vaccine and dozens of cases of heart inflammation in young men following the second dose.

As The Defender reported June 10, the CDC’s advisory committee acknowledged a higher-than-expected number of cases of heart inflammation among 16- to 24-year-olds who recently received a second dose of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccines.

Based on a May 24 report from the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Technical Work Group (VaST), the CDC on June 1 updated its website with the following language:

“Data from VAERS [Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System] show that in the 30-day window following dose 2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccination, there was a higher number of observed than expected myocarditis/pericarditis cases in 16–24-year-olds.”

On June 23, the ACIP said there was a “likely association” of “mild” heart inflammation in adolescents and young adults after vaccination with an mRNA COVID vaccine and a warning statement was warranted.

The safety panel acknowledged more than 1,200 cases of myocarditis or pericarditis in 16- to-24-year-olds who received an mRNA COVID vaccine, mostly occurring in males after the second dose.

As The Defender reported June 28, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration added a warning to Pfizer and Moderna’s fact sheets indicating an increased risk of myocarditis and pericarditis following vaccination.https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?dnt=false&embedId=twitter-widget-0&features=eyJ0ZndfZXhwZXJpbWVudHNfY29va2llX2V4cGlyYXRpb24iOnsiYnVja2V0IjoxMjA5NjAwLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X2hvcml6b25fdHdlZXRfZW1iZWRfOTU1NSI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJodGUiLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X3R3ZWV0X2VtYmVkX2NsaWNrYWJpbGl0eV8xMjEwMiI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJjb250cm9sIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH19&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1409604910971297795&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fchildrenshealthdefense.org%2Fdefender%2Fheart-inflammation-linked-covid-pfizer-moderna-vaccines-u-s-military%2F&sessionId=585e2914ed5412234524c7067130bcbd183a1c9d&siteScreenName=ChildrensHD&theme=light&widgetsVersion=82e1070%3A1619632193066&width=550px

According to the latest data from VAERS, there were 1,342  cases of myocarditis and pericarditis (heart inflammation) in all age groups reported in the U.S. following COVID vaccination between Dec.14, 2020 and June 18, 2021.

Of the 1,342 cases reported, 835 cases were attributed to Pfizer, 458 cases to Moderna and 45 cases to Johnson & Johnson’s COVID vaccine.
