Such a Sad State of Affairs

3/11/2017

Sometimes tears well up in my eyes and spill over onto my cheeks. I feel helpless and hopeless and there is nothing I can do to change the plight of the world. It does not matter so much for myself anymore, because I am entering the sunset of my life, but I have a baby granddaughter, new to the world, and I sometimes feel as though it is the worst time of any time to bring children into the world, yet I love her with my heart and soul and am so happy she is here. I want to help. 

Humans are being controlled and poisoned. I have no idea who is behind the scheme to enslave the human race, but I see evidence of it daily and my heart sinks because I feel powerless. We work longer hours and more days just to make ends meet and the cost of living continues to rise. But the food we are able to procure is tainted and it is making our children and indeed ourselves, very sick. I sometimes teach school as a substitute in the area, and since I began my career teaching in 1977, the numbers of kids who cannot function has risen to the point where in some areas it is half the class. Why? And diseases like autism, which were not even heard of way back then, are so prevalent today, especially in boys. Why? 

There is plenty of evidence out there to prove that we are what we eat and unfortunately, the food offered in the stores, is so full of chemicals that it is unfit for consumption. We feed animals GMO crops that are heavily coated with glyphosate and many other chemicals and then we eat that meat. The latest trend is to eat grass fed meat, but that is not easy to find and when one does find it, the cost is triple so it is not affordable. Dairy products are unfit as well. Where I used to live, near Vancouver, one farm converted their pasture land to a sod farm. The sod was heavily sprayed with many chemicals to provide green weed free lawns for consumers, but the grass clippings were fed to the cows in the dairy. Do you see?

I have arthritis and it is flaring much more than I would like it to. I did partake in pizza a few times this month. It is what is offered as the hot lunch at school. I bought some organic salad and found when I opened the plastic container, that the greens were already bad. This has happened many, many times. I put the salad back in the fridge, telling myself I will return it. After all, it costs more than five dollars, but I live rurally and I am not going to make a trip to town to return a box of salad greens. The fuel would be more than five dollars there and back. So, by the time I do go, the salad is just green mush and I do not know where I put the receipt and the greens are composted. Even organic greens and produce are permitted to contain things I do not want. Tetracycline to treat apples is one of those things. I am terribly allergic to tetracycline and although the quantity of exposure is minimal, there is intolerance and build up and who knows if that contributes to the auto immune condition of arthritis even more. NO pizza allowed, peel organic fruit, gosh, what is there to eat?

But for my baby granddaughter, where are the answers? Vaccines are deadly, containing a host of poisons that have rendered countless children and adults blithering idiots. That new documentary, Vaxxed, is trying to show that the rise of autism, which is 800%, is directly linked to vaccinations. Why? What is behind this and is it in every country or just North America? We cannot eat grain here because it is poisoned with the gross amounts of chemicals and suddenly, those chemicals have caused holes in our guts, which then have secondary issues of thyroid problems and even mental illness. It is all related. We know that now. And we cannot fix it easily. I won't be around when it is fixed, and I am hoping somehow I can shield my granddaughter from the ill effects of all this food related tragedy. And then I just collapse in a chair and think that this is so much beyond anything I can do at all, that I cry. Even though I have a grass fed farm, procuring organic grain is impossible here. The best I can do is find someone who only sprays once prior to planting and not again until the next year. That is better, but not the solution. My birds do eat grain, but not the sheep or goats. The piggies do too, so I am not going to keep them and will just not eat pork. I am happy with lamb and beef and eggs from my birds and will grow a bigger garden this year and preserve more food. I ferment a lot too, and there is always something on the go bubbling away. Great! for me and I am still compromised with arthritis, so what about everyone else who has to eat what comes from the store? I am so sad for the world. So sad.

It is a very sad state of affairs. Right now I'm 7 months pregnant, and am being recommended to take the DTaP vaccine, which is the combo shot containing Tetanus toxoid, diphtheria toxoid, acellular pertussis vaccines. The last time I had a vaccine was in 2004, and it was the DT vaccine (Tetanus toxoid, diphtheria toxoid). The last time I had a pertussis vaccine was in the early 1990s. I'm being recommended to get the DTap right now to provide protection against pertussis (whooping cough) for my baby.

If I had known that it's a recommended vaccine to be current on when pregnant, I would have been more likely to get it a year or more ago, so that I wouldn't be taking it while pregnant. Now? I honestly don't know what to do, whether to get the shot or not. There is, apparently, a lot of whooping cough going around, in Canada, if not specifically in my town, and it can be really bad, even deadly for babies. But on the other hand, I really dislike the idea of getting any kind of vaccine, especially when I'm pregnant.

Congratulations! You will be such a wonderful parent.

No one can make the decision re the vaccine for you. You will have to decide. I will say that my youngest son would have died in utero had I had that vaccine.

Best of everything to you, Lynne.
