Is coronavirus Vaccine a Ticking Time Bomb?
Polydrugged for Insomnia…Madness article link
Polypharmacy is an enormous health crisis throughout our country. It’s one of the many reasons I do what I do …. the education….the leading people thru the process of learning to care for themselves by reading their own bodies and understanding the holistic options available to them…. the empowerment of personal care ownershipđâ¤!
This story…. it started with eye drops. It’s not an isolated incident. This kind of story happens every single day very innocently. I’ve watched it happen to patients throughout my pharmacy career.
There is a time and a place for Western medicine, but it behooves a person to enter into Western medicine treatment with eyes wide open, well armed with research, an advocate or two, and a willingness to look into all types of care options.Â
The average American adult is currently on 4 or more prescription medications đ….. not including over the counter (OTC) remedies.Â
It can be a slippery slope and it’s not the consumer’s fault…. other than placing too much trust in a profit driven system.
This is why I do what I do.Â
Defy the system.Â
Don’t be normal or average. You are worth more than that.Â
God created you to use your gifts and talents in unique and beautiful ways…. not too medicated to even think clearly.

Controversial Alzheimer’s Drug Considerations
Alzheimer’s disease is a scary enough diagnosis all on its own. Navigating the path of quality care and treatment brings on a trauma all its own.
When the FDA does a questionable job of approving a medication for use, that doesn’t make the situation any easier. In fact, it makes it all that more difficult. Surely “they” wouldn’t approve a drug that wasn’t both safe AND effective?
Interesting facts about the recently (June 7th) approved Alzheimer’s drug Aduhelm:
* Approved by the FDA DESPITE the nearly unanimous conclusion of an independent panel of experts convened (by the FDA itself) that there was inadequate evidence that the drug was effective in slowing cognitive decline in patients with Alzheimer’s disease.
* High dose therapy of the drug over an 18 month period was found to slow the progression of the disease by four months in one study. A second clinical trial failed to show any slowed progression of disease.
* The drug itself will cost an estimated $56,000 per year per patient.
* Potential side effects were found to be common. Brain bleeds and brain swelling was seen in 41% of patients treated with 10mg of Aduhlem.
I don’t know….. potential brain bleeds and brain swelling âď¸ seems like a potentially pretty high price to pay for a $56,000/yr drug that may or may not work.
A well informed patient or care giver is absolutely critical when navigating the healthcare system. Do your research friends.

More Curious Pharma News
We are created to think, reason, and use the intuitive gifts the Holy Spirit gave each one of us. Otherwise, we’d be not much different than a sea cucumber….. tho, these curious beasts still intuitively know when and how to protect themselves!Â
Does the following article make you pause? Pfizer is suspending distribution of Chantix because “heightened levels of the carcinogen NDMA was found in some lots of the pills.”Â
Furthermore, ” Pfizer told Reuters the distribution pause was ordered out of abundance of caution while further testing is conducted. The FDA approved varenicline, which is marketed as Chantix, in 2006.” (their words, not mine)
Meanwhile, the distribution of a certain product (ALSO made by the same company) continues……. despite the rising deaths (to date, the VAERS numbers exceed 6500 cumulatively) and is most likely a gross underestimate of actuality. That number is not reflective of only Pfizer. It includes the other media darlings who are producing a similar product that continues to be offered to people worldwide despite its “emergency approval ” status to combat something that has less than a 0.1% death rate.Â
Does that seem odd to you? The carcinogen factor of Chantix hasn’t officially even killed anyone (yet), and it’s an FDA approved product that has been around for more than 15 years.
Saturday ponderings…..
