Lance D Johnson via Natural News – In the midst of the 15th-century Black Plague, a group of spice traders turned thieves defied the odds, robbing plague victims and their graves without succumbing to the deadly disease. Their secret? A potent blend of essential oils that protected them from infection. A new study links unvaccinated women near COVID-19-vaccinated individuals to menstrual irregularities, suggesting possible vaccine “shedding.” The study raises concerns about mRNA vaccine safety and the lack of pre-rollout shedding studies. Critics highlight censorship of women reporting menstrual changes and call for transparency in vaccine research. Researchers urge further investigation into vaccine component transmission and emphasize the need for informed consent. In a groundbreaking study published in the International Journal of Vaccine Theory, Practice, and Research, researchers uncovered a startling connection: Unvaccinated women who were in close proximity to individuals who received COVID-19 vaccines reported experiencing menstrual irregularities similar to those reported by vaccinated women. Unvaccinated women who were in close proximity to individuals who received COVID-19 vaccines reported experiencing menstrual irregularities similar to those reported by vaccinated women. The findings, which suggest the possibility of vaccine “shedding,” have reignited debates over the safety of mRNA vaccines and the Biden administration’s aggressive push for mass vaccination without adequate long-term testing. The study, led by researchers including Dr. Brian Hooker, Chief Scientific Officer of Children’s Health Defense (CHD), analyzed survey data from 3,390 unvaccinated women with no prior COVID-19 infection. Of these women, 85.5% reported being within six feet of a vaccinated person, and 71.7% experienced irregular menstrual symptoms within one week of exposure. The study’s authors noted that the timing and severity of these symptoms were statistically significant, raising questions about whether vaccine components could be transmitted from vaccinated to unvaccinated individuals. The study found that unvaccinated women who had daily close contact with vaccinated individuals outside their households were at the highest risk of menstrual irregularities, including heavier bleeding (34%), early period onset (28%), and extended bleeding (26%). Interestingly, women who lived with vaccinated partners or household members did not show the same increased risk, suggesting that environmental factors or prolonged exposure to larger groups of vaccinated individuals may play a role. Dr. Hooker emphasized that while the study does not definitively prove vaccine shedding, it provides compelling evidence that warrants further investigation. “This important study affirms that women exposed to individuals outside their household who received modified mRNA jabs for COVID-19 indeed experienced significantly higher levels of menstrual issues…” he told The Defender. Vaccine mandates and censorship put women at risk The study’s findings have reignited criticism of the Biden administration’s handling of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout. The administration and its allies on social media platforms actively silenced women who reported menstrual irregularities following vaccination. In 2021, a Facebook group with over 20,000 members sharing personal testimonies about menstrual changes was abruptly deleted, stifling crucial conversations about vaccine safety. Tiffany Parotto, founder of MyCycleStory and a co-author of the study, highlighted the importance of giving women a voice. “The need to research these occurrences and give a voice to the women who were silenced was obvious,” she wrote. The study also raises questions about the lack of pre-rollout shedding studies for mRNA vaccines. Nicolas Hulscher, an epidemiologist at the McCullough Foundation, pointed out that the FDA issued guidance for shedding studies in 2015 for gene therapies but failed to apply the same standards to COVID-19 vaccines. “Why didn’t our regulatory agencies conduct shedding studies before mass product rollout?” he asked. The study’s authors called for increased funding and research into the potential transmission of vaccine components, emphasizing the need for transparency and informed consent. Dr. Pierre Kory, president emeritus of the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance, described the findings as “highly compelling” and urged regulatory agencies to take immediate action. Heather Ray, a science and research analyst with CHD, criticized the systemic gaslighting of women who reported adverse effects. “Over the past four years, women have continually been gaslighted, censored, and silenced by the media, the medical system, and government agencies regarding their experiences with the COVID-19 shot,” she said. The study’s findings underscore the need for a more cautious and transparent approach to vaccine development and distribution. While the Biden administration and social media platforms have dismissed concerns about menstrual irregularities, this research highlights the importance of listening to women’s experiences and conducting thorough safety studies before mandating experimental treatments. As the debate over vaccine safety continues, one thing is clear: women’s health should never be an afterthought.

Kentucky Now to Offer Incisionless Procedure for Uterine Fibroid Relief

The AHA! Team — Wed, 05 Jun 2024 08:41:48 +0000

University of Kentucky via Newswise – UK HealthCare is the first in the state to offer the innovative Sonata® Treatment for women suffering from debilitating symptoms caused by uterine fibroids, including heavy periods.. Fibroids are benign growths in or around the uterus. They are very common in women of child-bearing age and can range in size from a grape to a grapefruit. Nearly 3 out of 4 women in the United States will have uterine fibroids before the age of 50. Not all fibroids require treatment, but symptoms often include heavy menstrual bleeding and painful periods that interfere with daily activities. These symptoms may worsen over time if left untreated. Nearly 3 out of 4 women in the United States will have uterine fibroids before the age of 50 “Fibroids are the most common solid pelvic tumor in women, up to two-thirds of women will have one or more fibroids before menopause, and many are symptomatic,” said Mark R. Hoffman, M.D., chief of the Division of Minimally-Invasive Gynecologic Surgery in the UK College of Medicine and an OB-GYN at UK HealthCare. “We see hundreds of patients with fibroids every year in our Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery clinic every year.” According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, more than 200,000 women each year are treated for uterine fibroids with the most common and surgical solution, a hysterectomy, which is a significant surgical procedure to remove the entire uterus. Traditionally, fibroids are treated with minimally invasive procedures such as hysterectomy or myomectomy, but a new, less invasive procedure may be an option for those seeking relief. Transcervical fibroid ablation (TFA) is a less invasive alternative to a hysterectomy or myomectomy. The fibroids are treated inside the uterus, so there are no incisions or scars. The Sonata® System, used in TFA, combines real-time ultrasound imaging with targeted radiofrequency ablation. One by one, the fibroids are targeted and reduced in size, preserving the healthy uterine tissue and providing quick, long-lasting relief. In a clinical trial, the Sonata Treatment was proven to reduce symptoms while getting half of the treated women back to their normal activities the next day. Average return to activity was two days. TFA can be used to treat almost all symptomatic uterine fibroids. This brief, outpatient procedure preserves the uterus and does not require an incision or anesthesia. Patients can return to work and activities in days, not weeks; much sooner than with traditional surgical procedures. More than 200,000 women each year are treated for uterine fibroids “This is a new, novel procedure that provides an alternative to hysterectomy, is outpatient with a same day discharge and has minimal recovery,” said Hoffman. “Patients can be back to full activity in a matter of a few days.” For more information about the Sonata® System and uterine fibroid relief, contact the UK HealthCare Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic and schedule an appointment with one of the following providers: UK HealthCare is the hospitals and clinics of the University of Kentucky.

CONFIRMED: COVID-19 Injections Alter Women’s Menstrual Cycle, Study Reveals

AHA Publisher — Mon, 29 Aug 2022 07:00:22 +0000

Sara Middleton via NaturalHealth365 – One of the earliest concerns raised over the COVID-19 shots from Pfizer and Moderna, which were manufactured and designed with genetic technology, was the possibility that these shots could disrupt human fertility. Part of this concern is based on research showing that the lipid nanoparticles containing mRNA from the jabs can travel around the body and interact with different organs, including the ovaries. Such concerns were quickly suppressed by mainstream media. But new survey data adds to the growing evidence showing that if not fertility directly, the shots CAN impact women’s health by altering their menstrual cycle. Nearly HALF of All Women Surveyed Suffered Changes to Their Menstrual Cycle Following COVID Shots A July 11, 2022 article posted on the website Science (title: “Thousands report unusual menstruation patterns after COVID-19 vaccination”) points to the concerning trend of menstrual cycle changes following COVID shots. They cite survey data based on an overall sample of 165,000 respondents. Reporting in Science Advances, after first making their paper available in February as a preprint, the survey researchers found that based on earlier data, nearly half (42 percent) of responding women bled more heavily than usual during their post-vax period. In another survey subset, two thirds of postmenopausal women reported breakthrough bleeding, as well as 40 percent of individuals undergoing gender-affirming hormone therapy. The authors conclude that “increased bleeding can occur post SARS-CoV-2 vaccines” while acknowledging that their sample may not be truly representative of the greater population and that the 42% statistic is much higher than other studies which have also also revealed menstrual irregularities post-jab. Despite the growing evidence that these shots may at least temporarily alter a woman’s period, the researchers, along with the covering Science article, continue to insist that the COVID shots overall have not been proven to negatively affect fertility. “Generally,” the authors write in their preprint, “changes to menstrual bleeding are not uncommon nor dangerous, yet attention to these experiences is necessary to build trust in medicine.” Indeed, some research, including a January 2022 prospective cohort study published in the Journal of American Epidemiology, suggests that infection with SARS-CoV-2 itself, as opposed to COVID-19 vaccination, may actually be associated with a short-term decline in male fertility. However, this is still a relatively nascent area of COVID vax research, and future investigative work is needed to give us more clarity over whether and how these shots may impact reproductive health. Especially since – as the Science article notes – “clinical trials of COVID-19 vaccines didn’t look for effects on the menstrual cycle.” If Not the Shot … Here Are Seven Other Things That Can Impact a Woman’s Menstrual Cycle As a woman, your menstrual cycle can offer good clues to your hormonal balance and overall health and wellness. Menstrual irregularities “usually aren’t serious,” Mayo Clinic says, but they can “sometimes signal health problems.” Here are seven possible causes of abnormal periods, in addition to vaxxes, pregnancy, and breastfeeding: Eating disorders (e.g., anorexia nervosa) Extreme weight loss Excessive exercise Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) Premature ovarian failure (also known as primary ovarian insufficiency, this refers to the loss of normal ovarian function before age 40) Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which is a potentially life-threatening infection of the reproductive organs Uterine fibroids (non-cancerous growths in the uterus), which can cause heavy and/or prolonged periods If you have any concerns about your menstrual cycle, talk to a trusted healthcare provider.
