AUTISTIC NO LONGER

I am so thankful for the Weston A. Price Foundation. It is because one of my friends went to a presentation by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride over ten years ago and then shared the infor­mation with my wife that my daughter was able to have a full recovery from autism, even having a psychologist re­assess her and take her diagnosis away.

I am concerned about potential efforts to mandate the coronavirus vaccines, whether it be by governments or by churches, schools, businesses or employers. Due to this concern, I wrote a paper that tells my daughter’s story and recounts the journey that brought us to where we are at on vac­cines, while weaving it together with alarming facts about vaccine safety. My goal was to tell a story that would be compelling to people who are neutral or on the other side, that would tug on their heartstrings, put a face on people who are labeled “anti-vaxxers,” help them to see the reasonableness of the choices we made and encourage them to accept us and not support efforts to push us out of society.

My family and I are patients under the care of a doctor who uses informa­tion from Weston A. Price to guide him in his medical practice. He was so thoroughly impressed with my paper that he suggested I send a copy to you. I thought it might brighten your day to know just how much of a positive impact your work has had on me and my family. You can read my paper at livinginfaith.network/blog/.

ACTION ALERT = ACTION

I wanted to thank you for your February 2 Alabama action alert, and let you know that I have contacted all of my district’s representatives and senators—by phone and email—urging their support for Alabama House Bill 214, which would prohibit employers from taking adverse actions against employees (or prospective employees) based on Covid-19 vaccination status, and would also prohibit ticket issuers from denying entry to entertainment events based on vaccination status. I have also contacted every member on the House Business and Commerce Committee about this bill.

Without your notification, I would not have known that this bill had been introduced! With your email, I was able to take action. I am so grateful for the work that you (the WAPF team) do, and I am doing my part here in Alabama to support the future we all wish for!

5G TOWERS EVERYWHERE

Thank you for your recent attention to the dangers of 5G wireless technol­ogy. It seems that the government is moving ahead on placing 5G towers everywhere.

According to the Biodynamic As­sociation’s latest news magazine, “Pre­cision agriculture is the term used to describe farm management conducted with the use of information technol­ogy.” I translate that as Big Brother managing farms with the use of 5G microwave technology.

Recently proposed legislation in­dicates the government’s intention “to promote the expanded deployment of fixed and mobile broadband Internet access on unserved agricultural land.” This is all part of their plan to put 5G technology everywhere—until it kills us all, I guess.

We also received a notice of infor­mation classes from the University of Idaho. The October 2019 offering, en­titled Off the Grid, “Highlights emerg­ing mobile data technology in natural resources for situational awareness, communication, real-time positioning, and wearable technology.” I would translate this as telling us how they plan to put 5G towers in our forests so they can watch what we are doing, increase cell phone coverage, know exactly where we are at any time, and provide Internet connection for the Internet of Things’ smart devices, which they hope we will be wearing on our bodies, so that those of us who are off the grid can be watched and monitored just like these people who have smart meters in their homes.

The websites for these two bits of information are: congress.gov/ bill/115th-congress/house-bill/4881 and uidaho.edu/extension/forestry. We need to get people off their behinds before 5G is turned on in their towns. I believe those in Britain and the many U.S. cities already on line are finding it is already too late to save themselves.

COMMISSION OF EXPERTS

Compliments to WAPF for your su­per work! Here is some information that you may find useful. Almost one year ago, when this crazy Covid stuff started here in Italy, the government created a super commission of “experts” to face the “pandemic.” Guess who was put at the head of such a body of experts? A doctor? A virologist? A biologist? An expert epidemiologist?

None of the above! It was Vittorio Colao, one of the top-ranking manag­ers in Vodafone and Verizon, which at the same time were developing 5G in Italy. Coincidence? Or did they need a very strictly coordinated action between lockdown and deployment of 5G towers?

THE MISSING STUDY

Initially, the Swiss halted at least some of the 5G rollout due to health concerns. Per capita, Switzerland had far fewer coronavirus cases than the nearby countries of France, Spain and Germany, where 5G was going full steam ahead. Unfortunately, that “halt” was short-lived and soon reversed.

The telecom companies easily persuaded Swiss politicians to allow them to continue with their 5G rollouts because they insisted there weren’t any studies linking 5G with any health problems. Our media have been inform­ing us lately that much of the 5G rollout is now complete!

And guess what? Today we’re being told that our country is experienc­ing a sharp increase of Covid infections, and that Covid-related deaths have risen to over one hundred per day. We’re told to expect heavy lockdown measures to be taken in the next few days.

It seems that the world—includ­ing Switzerland—is becoming that “missing study”—too late to stop the technocrats from getting their way and in turn sickening and killing us Swiss, too.

CRACKDOWN IN SWITZERLAND

Recently three long-time room­mates went on a hike in the mountains with two close girl friends; they were in a wild and isolated place, far from everything—five of them in all, in accordance with the drastic limitation on gatherings prescribed by the Swiss government.

While they were quietly enjoying their meal, with absolutely no one else in sight, a policeman appeared unex­pectedly. They had been spotted by a drone. The picnickers each received a fine of one hundred Swiss francs for not adhering to a two-meter separation, one from the other.

As soon as they returned from their hike, they appealed the fine of five hun­dred francs, but the authorities advised them that they were already registered in the “criminal record” and that if this fine were not paid within three days, they would additionally get at least one day in jail and a penalty charge of two hundred Swiss francs per person.

Wearing the mask is now manda­tory in the street and shops; the fine for not wearing the mask in the street or any public space is two hundred fifty Swiss francs. If a Christmas celebra­tion includes more than ten people, the fine is five hundred francs; and fifteen hundred francs for breaking a quaran­tine or isolation order. Stores with an insufficient protection plan must pay one thousand francs.

Anyone who engages in prostitu­tion (on the street, by phone or Inter­net) is now subject to a fine of three thousand francs, immediate cell phone seizure and several days in jail. Police officers have even deliberately created fake profiles on social networks by pos­ing as clients responding to ads for the sole purpose of busting sex workers!

RADIO WAVE EXPOSURE

During WWII, I was a telegraphist in the New Zealand Navy. The radio waves were directed into our metal room, on a metal ship, where we did Morse code for hours on end. A lot of us got sick. I got pneumonia and the mumps, and many others got serious flu. Most interesting, we recognized that the Navy telegraph operators were prone to psychological problems— some anger and strange behavior in normally mild-mannered men. So if radio waves have this effect, imagine what 5G can do!

BPA IN THERMAL PAPER

Great article by James Kirkpatrick on BPA in the latest Wise Traditions, but the sidebar at the end of the article, “Avoiding BPA,” contains an egregious oversight: BPA has been documented to transfer from thermal paper to the body through mere dermal exposure, and it’s a huge amount. Do a search for BPA and thermal paper on DuckDuckGo and you will find many articles.

The amount of BPA someone is exposed to by merely handling paper receipts on a regular basis dwarfs ex­posure from plastic touching your food and drink.

PLASTICS ARTICLE

I’m a huge fan of WAPF but I was very disappointed in the article about plastics (Fall 2020). In my opinion, that article should not have been published at all by WAPF and was an insult to all we are trying to accomplish. The article feels like a promotional piece for the oil and plastic industry; not at all sup­portive of the health of the people or the planet. With all the “statistics” quoted, it also gives the impression we should trust and believe in the agencies and corporations that profit heavily from this industry.

Alice Rogers

Editor’s Response: The author of the article on plastics provided data to show that whether we like it or not plastics are not going away any time soon—because of their strength-to-weight ratio, low cost of production and moldability. Plastics provide the casing for our telephones (landline or iPhone), the insulation for virtually all electrical wiring, the bottle for our organic shampoo, the seating in rapid transit vehicles—plastics are an inevitable part of modern life, which none of us can escape, no matter how environmentally minded we may be. Kirkpatrick then provides some common-sense strategies for minimiz­ing plastic pollution, along with a plea to make the industry responsible for recycling and for more efforts to de­velop biodegradable plastic packaging.

NEW WAYS TO RUIN OUR FOOD

Over the past couple of weeks I’ve had about a dozen phone calls about a new ultrafiltered milk product, which is now available in one of the major supermarkets here in Queensland. The authorities claim that forcing the milk through an extremely fine filter at high pressure does the same as pasteurizing so it’s safe for human consumption.

I’ve explained each time that the high pressure that destroys the cel­lular structure of both milk and cream will result in creating a substance that our digestive system and microbiome would not recognize as nutrition or even food, so the best thing to do is leave it on the shelf in the shop.

By the way, since February 1, 2021, the radiation of all fresh local fruits and veggies came into practice throughout all of Australia.

A FLYER ON COVID?

Thank you so much for the article by you and Dr. Cowan, “The Contagion Fairy Tale” (Winter 2020)! Is there any possibility that the article could be put into an inexpensive flyer or brochure booklet form? There is such a need for something like that.

Quite a few years ago, I came to question the validity of the Pasteur germ theory of disease. I subscribed to Dr. Roy Kupsinel’s information-packed publication, Health Consciousness, for several years. It was full of information about the dangers of dental amalgam, the dangers of vaccination and criti­cism of the germ theory—on which the entire vaccination agenda is based.

I began to think that if something wasn’t done to bring this criticism of the germ theory to the attention of the pub­lic, it was going to be used to destroy our society and our health freedom, pri­marily because of the argument I kept hearing the pro-vaxxers use that, while it’s okay to put one’s own health at risk by not being vaccinated, it is not okay to put the health of others at risk—such as the immuno-compromised or those on chemo, etc.—by not being vaccinated.

But I never ever envisioned some­thing as bad, as totally crazy, as this “pandemic” of 2020.

Several years ago I made up a bro­chure entitled “Vaccination is Based on Fraud.” The two points I tried to make in the brochure were: the Pasteur germ theory has been questioned since the time of Pasteur; and vitamin C is known to be an “absolute virucide” for many of the diseases we’ve been told we need to be vaccinated against.

Since this info had impressed me so greatly, I wanted others to know about it. I have no scientific background but I gave it my best shot and have been passing out my brochure for years.

So please do seriously consider putting out a brochure or pamphlet of some sort. The world needs something like that from people with your exper­tise and knowledge—inexpensive and easy to read and understand.

In fact, while out with my husband today for a walk on the snowy roads, we met a neighbor for the first time. We stopped to chat a few minutes. The Covid “pandemic” issue came up and I just up and told him that I thought it was a fraud and a hoax. He agreed! I wished so much that I’d had a flyer or pamphlet to give to him.

A BIG THANKS

I would like to say thank you from the depths of my heart. I’m a thirty-four-year-old happy-go-lucky person who was misled into believing that a vegetarian diet was the way to go and so I was a vegetarian from age fourteen to twenty-six. I had four miscarriages over the course of about eight years.

Thanks to a good friend and my acupuncturist, we were guided to the wonderful, insightful world of Stan­dard Process and the Wise Traditions diet. We now have the most wonderful, happy, smart and beautiful little two-year-old girl. I wish more women who thought they were barren knew about this wonderful life-changing avenue right at their fingertips.

Thank you also for your articles on the contagion myth. I can clearly recall telling my mom when Nextell phones came out that my inner ear would burn and itch after a phone call. So the 5G dilemma is not at all surprising. It baffles my mind that this is such an obvious and logical reason for health issues, and yet it seems the majority of the human race doesn’t even consider it.

Still, we are confused as to why people in the same household end up with the same symptoms? This is what makes people think it is contagious.

Editor’s Response: The reason people get sick at the same time is that they are subjected to the same poisons—it may seem like “con­tagion” but there is always another explanation—EMFs, toxic water or air, poisons like DDT, etc. Physicians used to think that scurvy was contagious because they had no other explanation for why people in the same ship got sick with the same symptoms. Now that we know scurvy is caused by vitamin C deficiency, no one would claim that it is contagious.

DEATH IN GIBRALTAR

I had to share this at once as it came out today—it is so sad. In the first ten days of administering almost six thou­sand doses of the experimental Pfizer Covid vaccine in Gibraltar, fifty-three people have died—almost 1 percent of doses. Reportedly only sixteen people had died “from Covid” up to this point. It would seem that the media are blam­ing an increase in deaths not on the vaccine but on Covid. Sadly, we’ve seen this same pattern in other countries.

DISPOSAL PROBLEM

I just listened to a Robert Ken­nedy Jr. (Children’s Health Defense) interview with Jason Shurka. He talked about an aspect to getting mercury out of vaccines, in the late 1990s. I had not heard it before.

RFK said that it became clear that the mercury had to be removed from childhood vaccines. But the industry had a big issue in that they had so many doses already made that they would have had an expensive hazardous waste disposal problem because of the mer­cury already in the vaccines getting on their hands!

They decided they would dump this hazardous waste into children’s bodies instead so they wouldn’t have to pay for the hazardous waste disposal of the mercury. They did this until all the already-manufactured vaccines containing mercury were used up—they disposed of them in chil­dren. Apparently that took until about 2003. Maybe you already heard this, but I’m dumbfounded and further horrified by it.

ELECTRICIANS REFUSE

I recently had lunch with an elec­trical lineman from Michigan who told me that his electrical workers union refused a job to install 5G in the area. See this link for electrical workers from around the world who have signed an appeal against 5G: 5gspaceappeal.org/engineers.

It is interesting also to note that much of the 5G controversy that I found on the web pre-dates the pandemic, as though the defenders of 5G have gone silent since Covid-19.

DANGERS OF IVERMECTIN

People are recommending the heartworm drug ivermectin for treat­ment of Covid—be warned!

My first exposure to Ivermectin was many years ago when my young dogs were diagnosed with demodectic mange. Unfortunately, this happened before I understood how to keep my dogs healthy, and I didn’t yet know about WAPF principles. Mange is a skin disease and a sign of a poor im­mune system, likely brought on by vaccines, flea and heartworm meds, and anesthesia drugs. ivermectin, the main ingredient in heartworm medications, is a last-ditch treatment (administered orally in higher doses). While the ivermectin helped at first, we watched our dogs decline steadily throughout treatment, and eventually they needed to be euthanized. Like giving a cancer patient poison, ivermectin took a bad health situation and made it worse.

Fast forward to 2019 I became aware of unusual activity in Samoa. The government began routinely giv­ing their citizens ivermectin for an extremely rare tropical disease. Less than two thousand people worldwide per year get this disease. Subsequently, cases of measles began to rise. Enter the World Health Organization, UNICEF, etc. with a ton of money to help with na­tional vaccinations. After many babies were injured and even killed, Facebook censorship against anti-vaxxers reached new heights and a Samoan protester was arrested. Then came police lock­downs and mandatory vaccines.

Ivermectin is now being lauded, even within natural health communi­ties. We need to raise the alarm. No chemical is better than herbs, vitamins, minerals and amino acids along with a daily non-SAD diet. Do not take ivermectin in any form. You need a functioning immune system, now more than ever!

Name Withheld

HUNGER PAINS

I used to suffer from what I could only call “food emergencies.” In my pre-WAPF, super-malnourished state, as a mother of both a toddler and new-born baby boy—having had an early miscarriage between the two—I was reduced to living in a near-animalistic, instinctual frame of mind, what I now refer to as “basic-survival mode.” I’d go from feeling okay after eating a meal to suddenly having alarm bells going off throughout my body. There’d be no warning, just a sudden, intense need to eat right away. I compulsively carried nuts and water in my car with me at all times and would nearly panic if I ran out. It seemed like I could never feel full, nor carry that sense of fullness with me for any amount of time. I’ve also described it as feeling like there was a trap-door at the bottom of my stomach that would suddenly swing open and leave me feeling even more hungry than before I ate! It was a night­mare.

Finally I discovered WAPF, and I quickly came to see that so many of my symptoms seemed to stem from vitamin A deficiency. So the first thing I implemented was daily cod liver oil. I realized that it was the missing piece, the thing I needed in order to absorb the nutrients I was eating. And it didn’t take long for me to feel the difference. Of course, incorporating a full-fat, tra­ditional diet is the long-term solution, but I believe that putting cod liver oil first helped me heal faster than anything else I’ve added since. Just two weeks on cod liver oil ended my insomnia. The dark clouds that I didn’t even realize I’d been living under started to break, and I found myself having pleasant thoughts and even found myself giggling—the sound of it actually startled me, it had been so long since I had laughed.

An added bonus: my fertility cycles have only gotten better and better throughout the years.

WISE TRADITIONS PODCAST

Thanks to WAPF for all it has done to bring Price’s work and insights to the world. It clearly has touched so many lives positively, mine and my family’s among them.

My dad gave me a membership a few years ago but I wasn’t in the frame of mind to pay much attention to keep up the yearly membership myself until I was preparing to deliver my first son and I realized I felt like I knew nothing about how to keep him and us healthy. I kept up regular fermented cod liver oil doses while I was pregnant along with intakes of raw milk and cheese. He is now a thriving, smart, kind four-and-a-half year-old, and so beautiful to boot!

When I was pregnant with our twin boys (now one year old), I rediscovered Wise Traditions through the podcast. Hilda Labrada Gore is a gem and we are all so lucky to have her brilliance, her compassion and her enthusiasm for this lifestyle each week on the podcast. I renewed my subscription and applied to become a chapter leader.

This lifestyle has so many answers for so many questions that folks are asking, and I feel compelled to do my part to bring the information to others and share and delight in the well-being it brings to our lives.
