I Really Like This Drug!

I'm, apparently, the first client after their lunch break, the office is lit only by the natural sunlight gracefully covering the waiting lounge in the front. A few moments later more staff trickle in and I wonder where the Knight With Shining Extractors is hiding. Dori pulls out her Bible study and Bible. My facebook status is updated to let my friends around the world know I am, once again, occupying the dental chair.

"Come on back Kimberley". Kitty's up in her years. Sweet, gentle....all things that make a good dental assistant. The appropriate pink bib is clasped on and the nitrous helps my muscles surrender to my reclined vulnerable state. Oh, yah... Breath it in. Fall asleep if I like. Do to me whatever I'm paying for. Just don't let me feel any pain whatsoever. Kitty's very good at jibber jabbering. I'm a good listener. Especially when I can't respond. Is this dental bliss? Depends on the outcome of the procedure.

On the ceiling are a list of things that happened in the Bible. What's the second one? I'm not making the connection. Kitty reminds me, "Adam bit the apple". Bells go off. DUH! She tries to take my blood pressure. I've learned that dentists don't like to do invasive procedures if the client has an elevated blood pressure. No one's been completely upfront with me and just told it like it is. However, I'm guessing that it is a potentially fatal risk. Kitty keeps talking....sounds like she just wants me to stay updated on everything she's doing to prep me for my dental knight. She informs me that she's going to try another machine because that one won't take my blood pressure. A first try with the second one is a success. She likes the number. Okay, I'd like to just sleep in oblivion right now. Nice gas. Why do they call it laughing gas? Doesn't make me laugh. Just blissfully sleepy.

A'las, my knight in shining.....blue? Oh, it's that same color clinical professionals wear. I'd rather not relate that to one of my favorite azure colors I love so much. He was pretty smooth with that needle. Like, I didn't even see the thing. Oh, but that horridly familiar pinch. Okay. Doesn't seem so bad this time. None-the-less. I hate it still. The arm rest feels too small for a comfortable clinch. [the other spelling *clench* has a definition that now confirms my win in an argument I just had with Toby back in .....December? Something about AZ Cardinals clenching into the Superbowl. He didn't get it. Though I can't remember his response either. But anyway...."to assure the winning of *scored a touchdown to clinch the game*". Basically, what the Cardinals had done was assure themselves into the playoffs. Toby didn't get the connection. But that's alright. One day I'll be able to bring it up in the middle of NFL bantering and bring him up to speed]. I remember my last dentist. He was injecting my upper gum for a lazer surgery and that pinch was enough to make me want to hammer him. YOUCH. I clinched the arm rest, arched my back and he reminded me to, "Breath, Kimberley. Breath." Did I ever. Heavy.

Carlisi's last injection brought the tears. Thought I was going to hurl. All of a sudden the right side of my tongue was swollen. Started rubbing the uvula. Sticking the tongue out might help. Not really. A few minutes pass by. The left hand goes up. "I'm going to hurl." Kitty lifts up the bib. While my breakfast spews out she grabs the trash can. "I'm so sorry." She's gracious and says not to apologize. Off to the bathroom. Ok. That was just weird. Fortunately, I didn't get much of anything on my shirt. What a hellish way to start my day....oblivion bliss interrupted by ralph. Joy.

My knight walks back in. A little poking and prodding to make sure the numbing is complete. It is. Kitty and Carlisi apparently work very well together. They start talking about Judy. She is his queen of the home. Can't remember the name of his 13 year old. Some mentioning of a condition he has and Carlisi's frustration that after [how many] years doctors still can't tell them what's wrong and keeping his legs stiff and sore. I'd like to say what's wrong. First of all, doctors go through 12 years of pharmaceutical school [that's who write's the textbooks] and more often than not, can't tell you didly, but want to give you more experimental drugs [per instructions of the pharmaceutical industry, trickled down to the CDC and AMA] to see if your pain, discomfort, and wining can be eased. If it can't be eased, add more to the repertoire of experimental drugs and mindless jibber of how "this is what's happening.....yada yada." Basically fancy talk for "I don't know what the hell is wrong with you, but come back and we'll observe and experiment some more". Second, what I'm hearing basically sounds like polio. Poisoning of the fluid around his spinal cord. [Fibromyalgia brings on the same symptoms]. But he's probably had the vaccine, so "they" don't dare diagnose him with that. "They" don't want to give any reason for point any blame or doubt in the billion dollar industry of failed vaccination science. Crap science.

My head is spinning amidst all the poking, prodding and pulling. The nitrous is doing wonders relaxing my muscles. But my neck is starting to feel a bit tired of the forced positionings. My head's being handled like it's trying to get away from the metal poking and clenching. G - I wonder why. Oh , no. Not the drill! I hate that thing. There's that familiar dreaded smell from high speed friction between teeth and rotating metal. Or is that smoke I'm smelling? Now I've got the perfect visual: Masked dentist with a smoking drill.

What was scheduled to take only an hour and a half...turned into four hours. Five less teeth later, it's back to reality with the anesthetics wearing off making room for pain. Cheeks feel swollen...sure look it too. The gauze is annoying. Back to Dori's house. Help Mav into his seat and race home to my bed. Soothing instrumental satellite music is now in order. Forgot the tylenol. Drat. Mav's all cozy in front of Spongbob and Patrick. Nickelodeon rocks. My mouth is bordering throbbing pain. Can't sleep. Three hours later Dori brings my kids home from school and the forgotten tylenol. Yeah, some relief! In and out of consciousness turns into comfortable sleep for the rest of the night. Mike does wonders bringing home pudding, instant mashed potatoes, a beautiful blue shirt for me, feeds the kids, puts them to bed....etc. I'm well aware of it by morning. Next week the entire process starts all over again. Dread.

I'm hungry for something yummy. Something Asian. But everything on my Asian list of favorites is solid food. Stuff to be avoided for a couple days. Ah, homemade egg drop soup. That I can most definitely do! Some culinary bliss can still be produced and enjoyed. In the pot goes a whole cut up chicken, bay leaves, ginger, garlic, onion, celery.....mmmm......

Gift Defined

I find it incredibly intriguing that anyone would define the professional education [tested into certified practitioning] as a "gift" of healing.

The "gift" of any ability has been traditionally defined as acquiring [said] ability without prior experience, training, education...etc. Something almost parallel to supernatural. When Jesus walked on the earth, He had and used the obvious gift of healing which required no use of herbs, adulterated drugs, medical equipment[s]...etc.

A wise practitioner does not put himself or herself above all other human beings and assume the position of authority over the well-being of inquiring clients. Twelve [or more] years in medical school tends to create such an egotistical mindset that "I, as your chosen doctor know more than you and you should seriously think ten times before questioning the validity of my bold requirements/suggestions". There are several things wrong with such an approach to any fellow human being just because they have not been professionally educated in the field of medicine:

1. [the #1 obvious] Practitioners make the mistake of putting themselves up on a pedestal and talking down to their inquiring fellow human being.
2. The above is followed by the psychological and verbal act of denying the client's ability to question and think for themselves...and educate themselves as to how they ended up in the doctor's office, and if what the doctor is saying and prescribing helps put the pieces together in their mind.
3. It's unfortunate, but doctors are actually educated in believing and behaving as if an "uneducated" individual has no business taking their God-given responsibility in questioning all medical claims and suggestions. So, this is how they respond to clients.

There are a few reasons why all trust and liability should not be fully surrendered to practitioners. On July 26, 2000, one of the US medical community's most respected and honored public-health experts, Dr. Barbara Starfield, revealed her findings on healthcare in America.

The landmark Starfield study, “Is US health really the best in the world?”, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, came to the following conclusions:

Every year in the US there are:

12,000 deaths from unnecessary surgeries;
7,000 deaths from medication errors in hospitals;
20,000 deaths from other errors in hospitals;
80,000 deaths from infections acquired in hospitals;
106,000 deaths from FDA-approved correctly prescribed medicines.
The total of medically-caused deaths in the US every year is 225,000.

This makes the medical system the third leading cause of death in the US, behind heart disease and cancer.


Having relayed all that information, one should make note that I do so soly to extend caution to those that believe doctors make zero mistakes in diagnosis, recommendation or procedures.  While the above stats are rightfully alarming, there is still much to appreciate in modern medicine.

An Avalanche Of Reports Of Adverse Reactions To The H1N1 Swine Flu Vaccine – And Yet World Health Authorities Continue To Insist That It Is Safe

Is the swine flu vaccine safe? Only a small portion of the population has been vaccinated in most areas so far, and yet already there is an avalanche of reports of adverse reactions to the H1N1 swine flu vaccine. Reports are pouring in from all over the world even though the mainstream media seems extremely hesitant to report on these cases. You see, most of the time the mainstream media doesn't want to report on a "rare" reaction to the H1N1 swine flu vaccine because they do not want to "alarm" the public. The feeling in the mainstream media is that the benefits of being vaccinated far outweigh the risks. Of course that is a complete load of nonsense. When you read the reports of adverse reactions to the vaccine in this article, keep in mind that the majority of vaccine side effects such as autism, neurological disorders, autoimmune diseases, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, paralysis, infertility and cancer can take weeks or months to show up. To have so many reports of adverse reactions show up so early is a very troubling sign - and yet world health authorities continue to insist that the H1N1 swine flu vaccine is perfectly safe.

Well, if you read our previous article entitled " Shocking H1N1 Swine Flu Vaccine Miscarriage Stories From Pregnant Women", you would already know that the swine flu vaccine is most definitely NOT safe for pregnant women.

But is it safe for the population as a whole?

No.

Even the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases is openly admitting that "there's no vaccine, there's nothing, that is 100 percent safe".

But do the benefits outweigh the risks?

Consider that question as you read the following reports from the mainstream media about adverse reactions to the H1N1 swine flu vaccine.....

-A 14 year old boy who lives in Virginia is struggling to walk after coming down with a reported case of Guillain-Barre syndrome just hours after receiving the H1N1 swine flu vaccine.

-Although only a very small percentage of the French populaton has been vaccinated, one young woman in France has already been diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome after taking the H1N1 swine flu vaccine.

-At one school in Sweden where the students were mass vaccinated with the Pandemrix H1N1 swine flu vaccine, 130 of the 233 students at the school called in sick the day after the vaccination.

-Nine students in Mississippi were recently rushed to the hospital after experiencing severe reactions to the H1N1 swine flu vaccine.

-One child in Michigan was recently left paralyzed after taking the FluMist H1N1 swine flu vaccine.

-A 21 month boy in Germany has died a horrible death after getting the H1N1 swine flu vaccine.

-In Canada, one man's 17 month old son developed a fever the day after receiving the swine flu shot and suffered a seizure four days later and was rushed to hospital.

-In Brooklyn, one six year old girl with epilepsy was given the H1N1 swine flu vaccine without permission and she reacted so severely to it that she ended up in the hospital.

-A major German newspaper is actually admitting that at least seven people have died so far in Germany following an injection with the H1N1 swine flu vaccine Pandemrix.

-A 4 year old boy in Sweden was reportedly on the edge of death after taking the H1N1 swine flu vaccine.

-Officially, a total of 8 people have died from the H1N1 swine flu vaccine so far in Sweden.

- A third woman in Portugal has lost her baby after taking the H1N1 swine flu vaccine.

-The Jerusalem Post recently reported on the death of a 75-year-old man two days after he had received the H1N1 swine flu vaccine.

-The Chinese government is admitting that two people have died in China after receiving domestically manufactured H1N1 swine flu vaccines.

-A 42 year old Canadian woman who had been vaccinated for the H1N1 swine flu has now died from the virus.

-Another woman in Canada collapsed and had to be taken to the hospital in a stretcher after getting injected with the H1N1 swine flu vaccine.

-At least 10 people in the Northwest Territories have reported allergic reactions to the H1N1 swine flu vaccine.

-A journalist working for the German news magazine Der Spiegel reported that he became extremely ill with an extremely high fever, chills and severe nausea just days after receiving a swine flu vaccine.

But the reports above are just the tip of the iceberg. There are a whole lot more problems that we aren't hearing about.

For example, the following are actual reactions to the seasonal flu vaccine and to the H1N1 swine flu vaccine as reported by a registered nurse in Nashville, Tennessee.....

*Regular Flu Vaccine- Two hours after administration, the patient had a severe burning sensation in their hands and feet, headache, and nausea/vomiting.

*Regular Flu Vaccine- Numbness of the arm where the shot was administered for two days.

*Regular Flu Vaccine- Increased/abnormal pain with rash at the injection site for two to three days.

*Regular Flu Vaccine- Approximately two to three weeks after vaccination, the patient experienced Bell's Palsy. Bell's Palsy is a condition in which the patient experiences facial drooping/paralysis due to malfunction/inflammation of cranial nerve VII. The patient also experienced body aches, headache, and malaise for 1-2 weeks. Bell's Palsy is idiopathic/ cryptogenic in nature, and a diagnosis is formed after ruling out other possibilities. The patient's physician stated that the Regular Flu Vaccine could have caused the Bell's Palsy.

*Swine Flu Vaccine- Increased Body aches, nausea/vomiting, and headache for 2 weeks for two separate patients.

*Regular Flu Vaccine- I spoke with an older African American male about his grandfather...He stated his grandfather was a perfectly healthy fellow who took no daily medicines and had no medical conditions. The grandfather took his first Seasonal Flu Vaccine at the age of 70 and died two days afterwards. This also happened to my great grandfather as explained to me by my grandmother. Both seasonal flu victims were healthy with no medical conditions, took no daily prescribed medicines, were elderly but phsycially fit and died with 2-3 days of vaccination.

*Regular Flu Vaccine- Chest pain, nausea/vomiting, and severe headache was a complaint of multiple patients...occurring within 3-6 hours of administration.

Not only can the swine flu vaccine cause horrific side effects, but for some people it can even mean potential death. A 4 year old boy from Rochester, Minnesota almost died after getting the H1N1 swine flu vaccine. Just check out the video news report below....

A couple of readers on our sister site, Bird Flu Pandemic, have also reported severe reactions to the H1N1 swine flu vaccine.....

Ann:

My friend was diagnosed w/GBS today. She had the H1N1 vaccine on Tuesday. She woke up friday morn. with one side of her face paralized, now almost her whole face is paralized. She is starting blood and plasma transfusions tonight. She will be transferred to Barnes hospital soon for more extensive testing. To those who laugh at the severity of this strange, unknown sickness and vaccine I hope you stay informed and not ignorant.

Carrie:

I am a healthcare employee…..the only vaccine offered to employees was the live vaccine. I decided to get it and be the “guinea pig” instead of my toddler. Received the nasal spray on Tuesday, woke up Wednesday with a sore throat and stuffy nose, Thursday had a terrible chest congestion/cough with fever and splitting headache, Friday all symptoms were worse and I couldn’t breathe! I was diagnosed on Friday with H1N1 and pneumonia….. good thing I got the vaccine, huh?

On another blog, one reader reported a very sad H1N1 swine flu vaccine horror story.....

rsmitty:

Amy got her H1N1 flu shot today and had a nasty reaction. Just wanted to let everyone know so they can beware if and when you get yours. I am not getting one myself.

She lost her hearing, got diarreah, felt like she was going to pass out, heart heart was very racey, she felt like she couldn't breath, she was slurring her speech, her head felt very blurry/foggy etc.. She really did not want to get it to begin with and the doctor talked her into it. She said she will not get it again that's for sure. She said she thought she was gonna die. And as if she had a stroke. She is fine now but it took awhile for her to feel better. They kept her in the office for a while to keep an eye on her.

The following reports are from one site that has been documenting reactions to the H1N1 swine flu vaccine in Canada.....

Audrey:

So the call Aaron got Wed about the 18 yr. old Scott who had a stroke!!!! I talked to the girlfriends mom Kerrie who is our friend. He is still in a coma. They said it is bacterial, and brought in a specialist from the states. He is bleeding from his brain, and many internal organs. Last night Kerrie left me a message saying the doctors, and specialist have spoken with the parents and admitted it is due to the h1n1 vaccine!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pregnant:

" i heard some of the nurses and staff talking today about kids who have gotten the h1n1 shot….i think a boy under or just 2 died from the shot (I will ask around for confirmation), and a lot of kids have gotten really sick from the shot, some kids have gotten swine flu from the shot. i talked to 4 people today that got the shot and got really super sick. i’ve been here since thursday…i went to my OB’s clinic and they are giving out shots to pregnant women in the clinic, and the place was packed. they have tried to vax me 3 times but i have refused!"

Barb:

a friend of mine today shared that her daughters friend ( a teenager) had taken the vax, and that same day she was bathing and became instantly ill… she felt light headed to the point of passing out, couldn’t communicate, managed to get her house coat on, head spinning and got down stairs opened the front door so she could yell out for help because she didn’t know what was happening to her. she passed out at the door.

The following reports are from a Facebook group called "h1n1 Vaccine Reactions".....

Pamela Genge-Way:

I had my vacine last friday around 2:00pm and around 10:00 that night, I started breaking out in hives. Have never had hives before this. All the hives started joining together, crazy itchy!!!! I was like I had a sunburn over my whole body. Started to swell in the arm, hands, legs, feet, chin, and lip. My feet is still swollen, but not itchy now. Thank God!!!

Melissa Steinhart:

My 3 yr old got the shot, 2 days later came down with a runny nose, high fever (103) and massive headache. 36 hours later, the fever went away, but the headache remained. No one at her school was sick or is sick, so I know it was this shot. NO WAY am I getting the 2nd one..
Heather Noëll:

I have a friend who's elderly aunt received the H1N1 vaccination and then died of swine flu two weeks ago.

Sheryl Colbourne:

My 10 month old son had his needle on Sat morning... 9 hours later he developed a Fever of 100-102 and very soar leg, didnt want to walk or crawl.

Jennifer Griffith:

My doctor is treating a 4 yr old who was perfectly healthy before he got the Swine/H1N1 vaccination a few weeks ago. His brain swelled, and he was given 2 weeks to live as his body is shutting down. As of today he's alive, but my doctor is not sure if he's going to make it.

Lisa Engle:

ran into a mom who was LIVID after vaccinating her son last week. his arm is still swollen and splotchy, he's had a fever and been vomiting since.

Mona Tannous:

Took my 2 yr and 10 month for shot yesterday. My 10 moths seems ok with no reaction. My 2 yr daughter didnt sleep all night. Started with very sore arm and I think joint pain since she was pointing to her knees. Then she started low grade fever. She vomitted. Then she woke up again complaining of stomach pain and vomitted another time!

After reading these stories, are you sure that you want to get yourself injected with the H1N1 vaccine? Thanks to the U.S. Congress, if you live in the United States and you get the swine flu vaccine you cannot sue anyone if something goes wrong. You alone will be responsible. Are you sure that you want to have a toxic stew that could include mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde, Triton X100 and Polysorbate 80 (among other goodies) injected directly into your bloodstream?

Are you sure?
