“What’s Really in That Shot? Why Informed Consent Matters in the Age of Biologics”

· ·

A question we ask on our www.blessedbyhisblood.com membership questionnaire is this:

Have you used or been given an injectable product since 2020?

There is far more to the world of pharma than just synthetically derived drugs. The new-ish (and rapidly growing) class of medications known as biologics often contains cells or products derived from various animal forms—including humans.

(Side note: Did you know the vast majority of donated blood products collected in the U.S. are sold overseas to big pharma and research companies? And we wonder why they say there’s a blood shortage in local communities… 🙄)

More and more people are waking up to this, but the vast majority still assume that whatever is being given to them by the medical establishment is safe—and that someone else has done a proper risk assessment on their behalf.

If you believe you have the right to choose what does and does not go into your body, it behooves you to understandwhat a product actually is… and what you might unintentionally be doing to your body.

We frequently get questions from mamas wondering what to do when their doctor tells them they need a RhoGAM shot. My friend Alexandra (author of the amazing book Well Considered) outlines true informed consent regarding this topic—both on her website,  Just The Inserts, and in a downloadable PDF.

Only you can decide what’s best for you.

Is Your Antidepressant Just a Band-Aid? Why Root Cause Healing Matters

· ·

One of the pharmacy facts I am passionate about getting people to understand is this: EVERY medication out there only addresses symptoms… not root cause. And only addressing symptoms without addressing the cause would be like continuously patching cracks in a wall without addressing the shifting cracked foundation of a house.
We are so unique. Each one of us. In mind, body, spirit, soul, emotions, experiences. Mental health medications aren’t about “fixing” the problem….. they are the patch on the crack-y wall without addressing the foundational problem (which could be something as complex as a childhood trauma, lack of community, a toxicity, or something as seemingly simple as a nutrient deficiency).
To be clear, in my opinion, most mental health drugs should be listed as a type of drug very similar to drugs with addictive potential. No, your body will not ever “crave” Prozac, Lexapro or anything else in the SSRI or other psych med categories, but once you’ve been on them for a period of time, it can be incredibly hard to get off of them because your body and brain become rewired to depend on the medication. It then takes a fierce desire to correct that dependency, and that fierce desire includes working on oneself in all the areas ….mind, body, and spirit.
SSRI’s are by far the most common class of mental health meds. Roughly 1 in 6 people in the USA take them not knowing or understanding the ramifications of taking them long term. Informed Consent is so very important (and required by law, but rarely enforced 🙄 even if something goes really wrong… part of our broken medical system). How often does a doctor tell their patients what I just said above? 👆 How often does a doctor explain that what they’d like to do, with the patient’s cooperation, is to give them an opportunity to get to the root cause of mental health issues (with help from avenues of mind, body, and spirit professionals), perhaps agreeing to use medication on the short term to get over a hump but with the understanding that the medication would be used as a short term tool to be used while discovering the root cause and then healing from the traumas, toxicities, and/or deficiencies the body is experiencing. (I have much much more to say about this, but I would be writing a novel).
I have so much compassion for people walking through mental health crises, coupled with a desire to see people truly healed and walking in freedom….. and that won’t happen with long term use of these meds. In fact, over time, studies have repeatedly shown that one med will translate to multiple medications because of the side effect profiles.
You are worth doing the behind the scenes work. We all are 💖.

What I Have Learned in Working With 300+ People in Their Journey of Tapering

Red Dye #3: A Toxic Timeline of Health Risks and Lobbyist Influence

· ·

The FDA has announced today that it is revoking the use of FD&C Red No. 3 because it is linked to causing cancer in lab rats (a known issue for decades and already banned in many other countries). Of course, the International Association of Color Manufacturers is upset about this, and says it safe 🙄. Wanna bet they’ve had a really active lobbyist or two up in Washington DC helping the FDA make decisions that impact our health for the last many years?
Let’s talk about Red Dye #3….. Not only does it cause cancer in lab rats, it’s also known to:
❎ be linked to genetic changes which negatively affect immune response
❎can damage liver cells and alter the DNA of liver cells within 4 hours of exposure
❎ may contribute to ADHD symptoms
❎ affect thyroid function (leading to cancer)
Nontoxic red dyes have been used for thousands of years with dyes coming from natural sources: beet juice, purple sweet potatoes, and red cabbage are just three edibles and ARE currently being used as healthy food dyes.
Note: Red dye #3 is also currently used by pharma….. so anything with a pink or red tinge to it likely is suspect. According to the FDA, Pharma will not be required to phase out their use of red dye until 2028 (pharma lobbyists be lobbying over there in DC!).
Another note: Clearly, the cosmetics industry was not up on its lobbyist game back in 1990…..that’s when the FDA declined to allow Red #3 in cosmetics because it was potentially dangerous. (If you are having to reread this, I agree….. make this whole timeline make sense🤔🙄).
 

Vaccine Dangers For Pregnant Women

· ·

Good morning friends! This is an excellent factual article about the lack of proper testing of vaccines on pregnant women (really, there is very very little testing done on any medication on pregnant women in the pharma industry).
If you know someone who is pregnant, or a couple who may be thinking about creating a new little human this year, this is a great message to pass along.
Informed consent and then making educated decisions is where it’s at if we are to be healthy as a country.
A healthy, nourishing diet, de-stressing, removing toxic burden, and getting plenty of sleep are wonderful ways to make strong healthy next generation leaders.
