President Trump’s Proposal to Eliminate Income Taxes: Can It Be Done? by Ellen Brown
Tariffs as Revenue Source: Trump proposes that increased tariffs could replace income taxes. This strategy aims to boost disposable income for lower-income households without taxing the wealthy.
Impact on Middle-Class Taxes: Eliminating income taxes for those earning under $150,000 could lead to a significant budget shortfall. Estimates suggest a revenue loss of $10 to $15 trillion by 2035.
Challenges with DOGE: The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) aims to find savings to offset tax cuts, but initial savings projections are much lower than anticipated.
Historical Context: Trump's tariff approach echoes historical practices before the income tax era. He cites the 19th-century U.S. reliance on tariffs for revenue.

Concentrated Wealth and Control by a Small Group:
A central tenet across several sources is the assertion that a minority of wealthy families and individuals, frequently identified as Jewish, hold immense and hidden control over global industries and finance.
The "bluemoonofshanghai.com" source explicitly states, "Many of the world’s largest companies are owned and controlled by Jews, many by a few individuals in the City of London... The world’s major oil companies are controlled by Jewish interests, as are the major pharmaceutical companies, many armaments manufacturers and world airlines, the overwhelming majority of the world’s shipping capacity, and many other industries one would not normally consider."
This source also claims, "virtually all of the media in the West, and many major media in other parts of the world, including film and book publishing, are owned or controlled by Jews."
Specific large corporations across various sectors (finance, oil, pharmaceuticals, media, FMCG, internet, fashion, armaments, food) are listed as being Jewish-owned or controlled, with staggering estimated combined market capitalizations.
The "Epilogue" of the "bluemoonofshanghai.com" piece asserts, "the real wealth in the world has never come from corporate ownership, but from financing wars, from owning the central banks of nations, and from theft and criminal activity on a vast international scale." It suggests corporate ownership is a reinvestment of criminal profits.
The source names specific families and individuals associated with this power structure, including Rothschild, Sassoon, Warburg, Lehman, Goldman Sachs, and others, claiming they represent "family dynasties that have been accumulating their fortunes for perhaps ten or even twenty generations."
Control over Central Banks and Fiat Currency:
Several sources highlight the perceived control exerted through central banks and the use of fiat currency.
The "bluemoonofshanghai.com" source claims, "European Jewish banking families, led by the Rothschilds, own or control the central banks of at least 30 nations, including the FED in the US."
This alleged control means nations "cannot print their own money but must borrow it from the (privately-owned) central banks – and pay interest on it."
The source estimates that "$100 trillion paid in interest" to these bankers from central bank ownership over the past century, stating this is "entirely without need or justification."
The "lewrockwell.com-The West Eats Itself.pdf" source criticizes fiat money and central banks, stating they are "antithetical to truly free markets" and "By increasing the money supply over time, central banks decrease the value of State-enforced currencies."
Exploitation and Theft of National Wealth and Assets:
A significant theme is the accusation that this powerful group has historically and currently engaged in systematic theft and exploitation of national assets.
The "bluemoonofshanghai.com" source details instances such as:
The looting of India via the British East India Company, allegedly led by a Rothschild, and the financing of the opium trade into China by Rothschild and Sassoon, who "accumulated wealth of more than $5 billion each, by 1835."
The control and alleged profit from diamond production in South Africa (DeBeers, a Rothschild company) and gold production from Rothschild-controlled mines.
The alleged manipulation of the German economy after WWI through the Treaty of Versailles and subsequent purchase of assets by Jewish bankers during hyperinflation.
The “Great Gold Robbery” orchestrated by Citibank and other banks, allegedly stealing gold from citizens in China and other countries in the early 20th century.
The scheme to literally “steal all the gold stocks from all the central banks and commercial banks in all countries of the world” in the 1930s, using the fear of WWII, with the US government allegedly acting as the enforcer for the FED, collecting gold and delivering it to the privately-owned FED. The source estimates this stolen gold to be worth "about $5 trillion" in today's dollars.
The seizure of German industrial and personal assets after WWI and WWII, with the US government and military allegedly acting as "hired thieves for the Khazar Jewish mafia in the City of London." The source estimates the value of seized German assets after WWII to be "$10 trillion in today’s dollars."
The “Hijacking Countries with Oil Production” like Iraq, Libya, and taking control of Syrian oil fields, with the US military allegedly acting as “The Banker’s Private Army.” The source claims Jewish bankers allocated themselves 65% of Iraq’s oil and confiscated all of Libya's and Syria's oil.
The process of “Privatisation” in Western countries, where government services and infrastructure are being transferred to private hands, allegedly resulting in "literally trillions in profits for the new leaseholders, and slowly bankrupting the nations."
The alleged use of the World Bank and IMF to indebt countries and then seize infrastructure and arable land when they cannot repay loans. Greece is cited as an example, where its entire infrastructure was placed in a Luxembourg trust outside of government control, valued at "about $3 trillion."
Manipulation of Economic Cycles (Recessions and Depressions):
The sources argue that economic downturns are not natural occurrences but deliberate actions by these financial powers.
The "bluemoonofshanghai.com" source claims, "It is not a secret that all such recessions have been deliberately inflicted on Western economies by these Jewish bankers for the past 200 years or more."
They allegedly manipulate the money supply and interest rates to create bubbles, then contract the money supply and raise rates to cause bankruptcies and buy assets cheaply.
The 1929 Great Depression and the 2008 financial crisis are cited as examples of such deliberate actions.
War Financing and Geopolitical Manipulation:
The sources assert that these bankers profit from war by financing both sides of conflicts.
The "bluemoonofshanghai.com" source states, "It is no longer much of a secret that these same Jewish bankers have typically financed both sides of most, if not all, wars in recent history."
Examples include financing the Union and the Confederacy during the American Civil War, and financing both Japan and Russia in the 1905 war while also selling weapons from Rothschild-owned factories.
The sources suggest the US government and military are used as tools to achieve the financial and political goals of these bankers, including instigating wars and seizing assets. The US is referred to as "the Bankers’ Private Army."
The "lewrockwell.com-The Real Evil Empire May Surprise You.pdf" source, written from the perspective of a former U.S. Air Force officer, critiques the U.S. military's role, stating, "My own Orwellian turn of phrase for such mania is: destruction is construction." He questions the U.S.'s self-perception as the "good guys" while engaging in bombing campaigns in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Yemen. He notes, "My country is on the wrong path, that the bloody path of bullets and bombs (and profiting from the same) is always perilous for any freedom-loving people to travel on."
Skepticism towards Public Figures and Corporations:
Prominent figures like Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg are not seen as independent creators of wealth but as fronts or agents for the powerful financial interests.
The "bluemoonofshanghai.com" source posits that figures like Gates and Buffett giving away their wealth at the end of their lives is a result of "obligations due to financing" from the hidden financiers.
The rapid success of companies like Google, Facebook, Tesla, and Amazon is attributed to "both heavy financing and intense planning originating elsewhere" from these financial powers.
Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter and his satellite system are viewed as being financed and directed by the City of London bankers for strategic (military) purposes, not originating from Musk himself, as his companies are alleged not to be profitable enough to fund such ventures.
Criticism of Israel and its Relationship with Western Powers:
The sources express strong criticism of Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, particularly in the context of the ongoing conflict in Gaza and relations with Iran.
The "unz.com-Fed Up With Benjamin Netanyahu by Philip Giraldi.pdf" article includes comments portraying Netanyahu as manipulative, clinging to power, and having a "disastrous" impact on US-Israel relations.
Comments in this source refer to Israel as "genocidal" and call for its disarmament.
The relationship between Israel and its Western backers is described as reaching a "tipping point," with the national interests of the U.S., Britain, and Europe increasingly at odds with "Zionist-globalist agendas."
Some comments suggest that the U.S. and its allies are being used by Israel for military action, referring to "slave troops" doing the fighting in Yemen.
There is speculation about whether President Trump's perceived independence from Netanyahu might put him at risk, referencing the possibility of him being "JFK’d" if he tries to "cut Israel loose."
The source claims Netanyahu has been "spying on [Trump] and his decision making" through officials in his cabinet.
The influence of the "voracious Jew lobby" is mentioned as a factor hindering a shift in US policy.
One comment characterizes Judaism as "constant, unending, war between the Chosen and the rest. Xenophobic hatred and unquenchable blood-lust."
Critique of the U.S. Government's Role:
The U.S. government is consistently portrayed as acting in service of the powerful financial interests, rather than its own citizens.
The "bluemoonofshanghai.com" source repeatedly asserts that the US government and military are doing "its master’s bidding" and acting as "The Banker’s Private Army" for the City of London Jewish bankers.
This includes absorbing the costs and casualties of wars that benefit the bankers, not the US.
The "unz.com-President Trumps Proposal to Eliminate Income Taxes Can It Be Done by Ellen Brown.pdf" source discusses the idea of the US government issuing its own currency (Greenbacks) instead of borrowing from the privately-owned central bank, referencing Lincoln's assassination after implementing a similar policy as a cautionary tale. Comments on this article highlight the perceived threat this poses to "globalist cunts" and "Rothschild Bank."
Discussion of Women's Reproductive Health:
The "coffeeandcovid.com" source includes a brief, unrelated excerpt focusing on the finite nature of a woman's ovarian reserve and follicles, describing them as the "functional core" of the reproductive system.

Summary
This piece from coffeeandcovid.com covers several significant topics, starting with the author's commentary on proposed changes to immigration policy, specifically regarding the potential suspension of habeas corpus during an "invasion." The author then discusses recent trade negotiations with China and the UK, highlighting what they see as a significant, overlooked detail: the potential establishment of a permanent 10% baseline tariff as a new source of government revenue. Finally, the article examines a recent rat study suggesting a link between mRNA vaccines and reduced ovarian reserve, raising concerns about potential impacts on global fertility rates and criticizing public health authorities for a lack of further research.
Discuss Habeas Corpus Debate.
Based on the sources provided, the debate surrounding Habeas Corpus centers on its potential suspension in the context of immigration and national security. A story in the New York Times reported that Trump officials were considering suspending Habeas Corpus for detained migrants1. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Steven Miller reportedly stated that the writ of habeas corpus could be suspended in a "time of invasion," asserting that the Constitution is clear on this point1.
The source explains that "Habeas corpus" is Old Latin for "show the body" and functions as the legal system's emergency brake, requiring the government to produce an arrestee in court and justify their imprisonment2. It forces officials to provide evidence or release the person, thus preventing secret or indefinite detentions2. While often referred to as a "right," the Constitution expressly refers to the writ as a "privilege"1....
Historically, according to the source, the writ has been suspended four times in American history, and in all four instances, the suspension was enacted by presidents, contrary to an initial suggestion by the Times that only Congress could do so3.... Congress retroactively authorized Lincoln's suspension two years after the fact, which was the only time Congress was involved in the four historical suspensions3....
The debate also involves the interpretation of what constitutes an "invasion"4.... Three federal judges have challenged the Administration's invocation of an "invasion" in the context of migrant entries4. The source suggests that suspending the writ might become necessary if courts make it impossible to remove large groups of foreign nationals without time-consuming individual due process6. A central legal question is whether millions of illegal entries of foreign nationals can be considered an "invasion," even if non-traditional5. If this situation is deemed an invasion, the Constitution expressly allows due process to be temporarily suspended5. James Madison, during the Constitutional Debates, argued that the general government should be empowered to defend the Union in cases of "imminent danger"5. In Federalist No. 43, Madison explicitly included "insurrections" and "domestic violence" as threats akin to foreign invasions, requiring federal intervention7.
The source notes that the specific question of whether something that looks like an invasion is a "real" invasion has not been decided by courts, which have historically deferred to the political branches, especially during emergencies7. A court ruling on the constitutional validity of a presidential "invasion" declaration would push courts into new and potentially shaky legal territory7. The New York Times article is criticized for lacking balance by not quoting experts who support the position that suspending Habeas Corpus could have historical or legal merit6.

Discuss US Trade Policy.
Based on the provided sources, the discussion of US trade policy touches upon both historical practices and recent proposals under the current administration, often linking economic policy with broader themes of national funding, debt, and international relations.
Historically, the sources describe US involvement in international financial and trade-related matters, often highlighting the role of powerful banking interests. The construction of the Panama Canal and Suez Canal is mentioned as being financed by Jewish money1. As part of the Monroe Doctrine, the US reportedly used its power, including the CIA and military, to install certain bankers as "investment managers" for the cash assets and central bank holdings of countries under its control, including in Latin America and other nations where the US overthrew governments1.... These bankers allegedly invested the funds in New York real estate, profiting significantly while paying low returns to the nations2. The US is also described as having a habit of invading, forcing open, and emptying the gold vaults of central banks in these countries2.
Another significant historical event mentioned is the US confiscation of privately held gold in 1933 under President Roosevelt, reportedly through a measure that forced citizens to surrender gold to the privately owned Federal Reserve in exchange for paper money3.... This action, described as a bailout of the Federal Reserve Bank5, was followed by a significant devaluation of the US dollar, which allegedly benefited the FED owners4. Lawsuits challenging these actions were reportedly unsuccessful, with courts determining citizens had no recourse despite the government's actions being deemed illegal and unconstitutional4.
The sources also detail the US Silver Purchase Act of 1934, which nationalized US silver stocks and authorized the Treasury to purchase silver at a price significantly higher than the market rate, primarily from foreign countries6.... This policy, reportedly executed through US banks operating in China, is described as having a devastating impact on China, which was on a silver standard, causing a large flow of silver from China to the US7. Separately, Citibank is mentioned as having convinced Chinese citizens to deposit gold, which was later shipped to the US on military vessels and turned over to the FED for paper8.
Following World War II, the "Gold Standard" (Bretton Woods Agreement) was established, theoretically requiring countries to back their currency with gold reserves to maintain stability and avoid inflation9.... Nations settled accounts in US dollars, based on the premise that dollars were exchangeable for gold10. However, facing financial pressure from the Vietnam War, the US reportedly couldn't meet France's demand to exchange dollars for gold in 197110.... According to the sources, Jewish bankers, including Rothschild, who were owners of the FED and the City of London, unilaterally ended the Gold Standard, refusing to convert foreign dollar holdings to gold10.... This action is described as imposing a "stunning financial penalty" on the world and devastating the values of other nations' currency reserves11.... At the time, US Treasury Secretary John Connally is quoted as saying, "It’s our currency but it’s your problem"11.
Historically, from 1789 to 1913, tariffs were the principal source of revenue for the US government, and the US was considered proportionately wealthiest during this period13. President William McKinley's 1890 tariff was nearly 50%13.
Regarding recent US trade policy under the Trump administration, the sources discuss ongoing trade negotiations with countries like China and the UK14.... Negotiations with China reportedly began despite expert predictions that China would not negotiate while tariffs were in place15. Corporate media is criticized for being wrong on this point and on the claim that tariffs only hurt American consumers15. China is described as having been a poor economic partner for a long time, engaging in currency manipulation, intellectual property theft, and corporate espionage17.
An initial "trade deal" with the UK is described as an incremental agreement, involving mutual tariff exemptions for certain industries (cars, steel, and beef) and retaining a 10% minimum tariff on everything else16. This initial deal is expected to create $6 billion in new tariff revenue for the US and $5 billion in new markets for American farmers, a result seen positively by industry groups like the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association16.
A significant policy highlighted is President Trump's commitment to maintaining a permanent 10% baseline tariff across all trade, even after trade agreements are finalized18. This policy, confirmed by the Press Secretary, is described as an "economic nuclear bomb" and a "shocking revelation"18....
This permanent tariff is speculated to be part of a broader plan to potentially replace the income tax or a portion of it, by funding the government through externalized border tariffs instead of internal income taxation19.... This approach is framed as a "fiscal coup d’état" and a return to how the US government was funded before the income tax19....
Specifically, the proposal involves potentially abolishing income taxes for individuals earning less than $150,000 annually, which would affect a large percentage of workers21. The potential revenue loss from this tax cut is estimated at $10 to $15 trillion over 10 years, averaging $1 trillion per year13. The administration proposes to offset this loss with tariff revenues and savings from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)13.... However, initial projections suggest that even high estimates for tariff revenue ($100-$280 billion/year) combined with projected DOGE savings ($150 billion/year) would cover less than half of the projected income tax loss13. Furthermore, these figures do not address the existing national debt ($36.21 trillion) or the projected $1.9 trillion deficit13. The interest payments on the national debt alone are projected to be $1.2 trillion in 2025, which is more than the estimated revenue from tariffs and DOGE combined13.
Commentary on this proposed shift in fiscal policy varies. Some commenters question whether tariffs and DOGE savings can generate sufficient revenue22.... Others suggest alternative tax systems like a national sales tax24 or argue for radically cutting government spending, particularly on the military, to reduce the need for current revenue levels22.... Some see eliminating income tax and returning to tariffs as a positive step to starve the government or revert to constitutional principles25....
An alternative method of government funding, discussed in the context of escaping the current debt system, is the government directly printing debt-free money ("Greenbacks") through the Treasury to buy back debt and fund productive investments like infrastructure, rather than relying on taxes or borrowing from the private banking system29.... China's use of policy banks is cited as a model for directing funds into the economy without causing hyperinflation, provided the money finances commensurate growth29.... Historical concerns about hyperinflation and the suppression of Lincoln's Greenback policy are also mentioned30....
Finally, the sources note that the Trump administration's trade and economic policies may be intertwined with foreign policy and the influence of certain groups. Disagreements between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu are reported to include points about the administration's tariff plan37. The influence of the "Israel Lobby" on US foreign policy, including negotiations impacting trade and economic relations with countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia, is discussed by Philip Giraldi and several commenters37.... Some suggest that Trump's attempts to disengage from certain foreign involvements, such as in the Middle East, align with his goal of downgrading the US Empire and cutting costs, which could impact trade relationships45....

Discuss Political Arrests.
Based on the sources, the discussion of "political arrests" primarily centers on specific instances and broader concerns about government control and the potential for punitive actions against individuals or groups.
One notable incident discussed is the arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka at an ICE detention facility in New Jersey for alleged trespassing1.... According to one source, this occurred the day before the article was written, and the mayor was trying to enter the facility to "inspect conditions"3. He reportedly made himself an "odious nuisance" and was repeatedly warned before being arrested and criminally charged3. Former Trump attorney Alina Habba reportedly announced this news on Twitter4. Charges had not been dropped, and the Mayor was required to appear in court5. This event is presented by one author as part of ongoing "arrests stories" that suggest "no one is above the law"2. New Jersey Democrats, including Governor Phil Murphy, defended Mayor Baraka, calling him an "exemplary public servant"5.
Beyond this specific arrest, the sources touch on themes related to government power and control that could encompass political arrests or detentions:
•
Potential Suspension of Habeas Corpus: There was consideration by Trump officials to suspend the writ of habeas corpus for detained migrants, with White House Deputy Chief of Staff Steven Miller stating it could be suspended in a "time of invasion"6. Habeas corpus is described as the legal system's emergency brake that requires the government to produce an arrestee in court and justify their imprisonment, preventing secret or indefinite detentions7. Suspending this privilege could allow for prolonged detention without justification7.
•
Digital Control and Compliance: The sources discuss the rollout of digital IDs like Real ID and centralized digital bank currencies, suggesting they are tools for a "system of control"8.... This system could potentially use computer algorithms to determine what individuals can purchase or with whom they can transact based on compliance9. While not directly "arrests," this highlights a concern about mechanisms for controlling individuals based on their behavior or beliefs, which could potentially lead to actions against those deemed non-compliant9.
•
Government Hostility to Religion: One source argues that Western governments treat religious faith as a disease, citing instances of law enforcement agencies in the US, UK, and continental Europe arresting Christians praying silently outside abortion facilities10. It also claims the FBI spied on Americans celebrating the Traditional Latin Mass during President Biden's term10. These actions are characterized as undermining religious freedom and deeming non-partnering religions as national security threats, akin to the hostility shown by former communist regimes11.
•
Other Mentions of Detention/Arrest: A federal judge ordered the immediate release of a Tufts University student after being held for 6 weeks in detention12. Commentary in one source also claims that British citizens are arrested for criticizing Israel13.
Furthermore, commentary in the sources includes more extreme ideas related to political or punitive arrests and detentions, such as the suggestion of arresting Netanyahu14 or even arresting, rounding up, and publicly executing "banksters" in a show trial process15. One commentator contrasts this idea with what they perceive as an existing "orwellian police state from hell" in the US, despite narratives portraying countries like Russia and China as authoritarian police states15.

Discuss mRNA Fertility Study.
Based on the sources provided, there has been a significant discussion regarding an mRNA fertility study and its implications. A recent peer-reviewed animal study was published in the Journal Vaccines under the title, "Impact of mRNA and Inactivated COVID-19 Vaccines on Ovarian Reserve"1.... This study reportedly made the rounds and was seen as "more terrible news for the jabs"1....
The study involved giving rats human-equivalent doses of either Pfizer's mRNA vaccine or Sinovac's inactivated spike vaccine2. Researchers then examined the rats' ovarian tissues a few weeks later2. The findings were described as "extremely sinister"2. Both types of vaccines were found to disrupt normal ovarian function by reducing the number of healthy egg follicles and increasing the number of dying or damaged ones2. Hormone levels related to fertility, particularly "anti-Müllerian hormone" (AMH), dropped significantly, with the most sharp decrease observed in the mRNA group2. This suggests the vaccinated rats had fewer eggs and showed significant signs of reproductive stress2. Follicles are the functional core of the female reproductive system, containing immature eggs, and women are born with a fixed number, which is called the ovarian reserve and determines reproductive lifespan and fertility potential4.
While the study was conducted on rats, the sources note that their ovarian follicles and reproductive hormones are remarkably similar to humans, making them widely used in reproductive research, and the fundamental biology is the same despite some differences in timing and hormonal cycles5. The study showed damage to the follicles and disruption of hormone signaling related to fertility by reducing AMH levels5. This finding could plausibly explain the widespread reports of disrupted menstrual cycles following covid vaccination5.
Although the study did not directly assess "fertility outcomes" (i.e., actually getting pregnant), it demonstrated clear changes to the structures and hormones that make fertility possible6. It is argued that the study demolished the idea that there is no evidence of harm6. The findings are described as conclusive evidence of harm, though not yet conclusive proof, being strong, consistent, biologically credible, and peer-reviewed6.
The results of this study are discussed in the context of plunging worldwide fertility rates, particularly the sharp acceleration in decline observed between 2021 and 2023, which coincides almost exactly with the global rollout of mRNA covid vaccines3.... In some countries, birth rates have dropped significantly (7%-15% year-over-year) without clear alternative explanations7. The study provided a plausible mechanism for this observed decline: vaccination-induced follicular loss, reproductive hormone disruption, and increased ovarian apoptosis (cell death)8. It is suggested that even small, temporary disruptions in fecundity (the ability to conceive) across large populations could have macro-level effects, potentially leading to a global birth rate collapse viewed as a "slow-motion extinction event"8.
One source asserts that the covid mRNA injections are reducing birth rates as part of a "full-fledged effort to depopulate the planet"9.... Another study mentioned, involving 1.3 million Czech women, reportedly showed a 33% decrease in pregnancies among vaccinated women compared to unvaccinated women11. Data on the biodistribution of the spike protein damaging organs, including testes and ovaries, is also mentioned as posing a significant risk to the human genome itself12.
Critics of the public health response question why authorities are not urgently conducting large-scale reproductive follow-up studies on women of childbearing age using easily detectable markers like AMH13. The reluctance to blame vaccine manufacturers and government proponents is considered a poor reason to delay this urgently needed research13. It is argued that identifying the cause is the first step towards developing interventions, reversals, and informed screening14. Public health experts are characterized as "corrupt, sold-out, and useless"15, and there is hope that a new administration might fund more research15.
Additionally, in the context of breastmilk benefits, one source notes that many conditions breastmilk prevents often follow vaccination16. Breastmilk's protective abilities are linked to reducing the Th2 immune response, which the source states is a major problem with many vaccines that tend to provoke this response while suppressing the Th1 response16.... While not directly tied to the fertility study, this information from the sources links vaccines to potential immune system disruption and subsequent health issues.

Discuss Global Fertility Decline.
Based on the sources provided:
The debate surrounding global fertility decline in these sources centers on the potential impact of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines1....
A recent peer-reviewed animal study is highlighted, which reportedly links mRNA vaccination to plummeting global fertility rates1.... This study, conducted on rats, compared the effects of Pfizer's mRNA vaccine and Sinovac's inactivated spike vaccine3. The findings indicated that both vaccines disrupted normal ovarian function, leading to a reduction in healthy egg follicles and an increase in dying or damaged ones3. Hormone levels associated with fertility, particularly anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), also dropped significantly, with the sharpest decline observed in the mRNA group3. The sources interpret this to mean the rats had fewer eggs and significant signs of reproductive stress3.
While acknowledging that rats are not humans, the sources state their ovarian follicles and reproductive hormones are remarkably similar, making them suitable for reproductive research4. The study is said to have shown that vaccination, especially with mRNA, disrupts hormone signaling related to fertility by reducing AMH4. This finding is suggested as a plausible explanation for widespread reports of disrupted menstrual cycles following COVID-19 vaccination4. The sources claim this study, while not directly looking at pregnancy outcomes, showed clear changes to the biological structures and hormones that make fertility possible5. They argue the findings "demolished the idea that there’s no evidence of harm" regarding vaccine impact on fertility and that there is now "conclusive evidence of harm, even if not conclusive proof"5.
The sources note that global fertility rates have been declining for years, with socioeconomic trends such as delayed childbearing, urbanization, and falling marriage rates typically cited as reasons6. However, they point to a sharp acceleration in this decline during 2021-2023, a period that coincides almost exactly with the worldwide rollout of mRNA covid vaccines6. Some countries reportedly saw birth rates drop 7%-15% year-over-year during this time, which the sources describe as far beyond typical demographic variation and without any clear alternative explanation6. The rat study's results showing follicular loss, hormone disruption, and ovarian cell death are presented as a plausible mechanism for how vaccination could reduce fecundity (the ability to conceive) in women, even temporarily7. It is suggested that small disruptions across large populations could have macro-level fertility effects, potentially leading to a "slow-motion extinction event," particularly in societies already below replacement birth rates7.
Within the broader narrative of the sources, this decline in birth rates is presented as part of a "full-fledged effort to depopulate the planet"8.... This effort is also claimed to involve shortening lifespans through the mRNA injections8.... Entities like the Club of Rome and the UN are mentioned as having shifted population forecasts from growth to collapse by the end of the century8.... One source suggests these updated forecasts could be "predictive programming" or an adjustment based on a "mass poisoning event" via the covid virus and mRNA injections8.... The sources also raise concerns about the biodistribution of the spike protein damaging organs like the testes and ovaries, posing a potential significant risk to the human genome itself and potentially leading to future issues with sterility16.
The sources argue that public health authorities should be urgently conducting large-scale reproductive follow-up studies on women of childbearing age17. They contend that reluctance to blame vaccine manufacturers and governments is a poor reason to delay this research17.... Identifying the cause is framed as the necessary first step to developing interventions and solutions17.... One source expresses hope that President Trump's new HHS will notice the rat study and fund more research19.

Summary
This source argues that natural milk, particularly breast milk, is far superior to synthetic infant formulas. It delves into the complex and irreplaceable bioactive molecules and nutrients found in breast milk that are crucial for infant development, including immune support, brain growth, and protection against various diseases. The author suggests that the shift towards formula is a problematic business strategy that has negatively impacted infant health, emphasizing the numerous health benefits breastfeeding provides for both the baby and the mother. The source also briefly touches upon how hospital birthing practices can interfere with successful early feeding, highlighting the importance of supporting natural breastfeeding from the start.
Discuss Breastmilk benefits.
Based on the sources provided, breastmilk is presented as a highly beneficial and uniquely suited form of infant nutrition, offering advantages for both the infant and the mother1.... It is described as "Nature’s Perfect Food"3.
Here are some of the benefits and characteristics of breastmilk discussed in the sources:
For the Infant:
•
Contains Complex Bioactive Molecules: Breastmilk contains a variety of complex bioactive molecules that continuously aid the growth and health of the child3.
•
Growth Factors: It includes numerous vital growth factors that facilitate the development of systems like the gastrointestinal tract3.
•
MicroRNA: MicroRNA in breastmilk is protected from digestion and can be absorbed by the infant. It guides tissue development, regulates critical gene expression, helps prevent allergies (including food allergies), and contributes to the development of the immune system3.
•
Antibodies and Immunoglobulins: The mother produces a unique set of antibodies and immunoglobulins that protect the infant against pathogens encountered by the mother while the infant's immune system is developing, and also guide the infant's immune system development4.
•
Cytokines: Key cytokines like TGF-β, IL-6, and IL-10 play critical roles in promoting oral tolerance, supporting immune system development, and enhancing intestinal epithelial proliferation and repair4. Breastmilk also inhibits immune cells from shifting to a Th2 state (which is associated with autoimmunity) and can balance a Th2 response4.
•
Enzymes and Antimicrobials: It contains various enzymes that help the infant digest the milk and release peptides important for immune system development and eliminating pathogens5. It also has other molecules like lactoferrin, lysozymes, mucin, interferon, and fibronectin that inhibit microbial growth5.
•
Anticancer Activity: A protein in breastmilk shows potent anticancer activity against over 40 types of cancers without harming normal cells and has been used to treat cancer in humans. It also has powerful antimicrobial activity and improves bacterial sensitivity to antibiotics5.
•
Endogenous Cannabinoids: These are present and are important for human development, influencing appetite, mother-child bonding, immune function, brain development, and motor function6.
•
Colostrum: The first milk released by the mother, colostrum, is noted as the most potent milk6.
•
Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs): These support the growth of healthy gut bacteria (like bifidobacteria and lactobacilli), reduce inflammation, and contribute to immune system development7.
•
Essential Fatty Acids and Lipids: Essential fatty acids, cholesterol, and other unique lipids are crucial for brain and eye development and cognitive function (including academic success)7. The absence of these in infant formula is believed to be a reason why breastmilk is much healthier7. Human breastmilk contains bile salt-stimulated lipase, an enzyme specifically adapted for infants to enhance fat and cholesterol digestion and absorption, which is absent in cow's milk and most other commonly consumed milks (like formula)7. Cholesterol is also needed for hormone production, including a testosterone surge in infant boys in the first 1-3 months8.
•
Highly Bioavailable Nutrients: Nutrients like iron are highly bioavailable, meaning lower concentrations are needed compared to formula, which prevents them from interfering with the absorption of other critical nutrients (such as iron in formula interfering with zinc absorption)8.
•
Reduced Risk of Health Issues: Breastfeeding is associated with a lower risk of being overweight or having dysfunctional metabolism (halving the risk of diabetes)9. It's also linked to lower rates of infections (pneumonia, ear infections) and hospitalizations9, lower rates of gastrointestinal issues and allergies (half as likely to develop asthma)10, and being half as likely to die from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)10. Breastfed infants are less likely to develop cancers, particularly leukemia10, significantly less likely to develop autism or ADHD11.
•
Improved Development and Cognition: It is linked to improved brain development (particularly white matter growth)10 and improved cognition (verbal/spatial skills, mathematical ability, working memory)10. Breastfeeding for 12 months was associated with a three-point increase in IQ (and 0.8 points for each additional month), and higher educational and financial success later in life10.
•
Protection against Conditions Linked to Vaccination: Breastmilk's ability to prevent conditions that often follow vaccination is likely due to its role in reducing the Th2 immune response, improving physiological zeta potential, and reducing the allergen burden seen with formula feeding11. This is particularly important for premature infants, who are less likely to be breastfed and more vulnerable to vaccine injuries11.
For the Mother:
•
Post-Pregnancy Benefits: Breastfeeding promotes better infant bonding, enhances maternal mood, aids in post-pregnancy weight loss, and reduces the likelihood of developing postpartum depression12.
•
Reduced Cancer Risk: Each childbirth lowers the risk of breast cancer by 7%. Breastfeeding over 12 months reduces the risk of breast cancer by 4.3%, ovarian cancer by 34% (up to 91% with extended breastfeeding), and decreases the risks of endometrial cancer12.
•
Reduced Risk of Other Health Issues: It also decreases the risk of high blood pressure12.
The sources also note that warming breastmilk in a microwave destroys many critical nutrients8, and pasteurization of donated breastmilk also destroys many vital components8. Hospital birth procedures can sometimes interfere with early breastfeeding and skin-to-skin contact, which are critical for both infant benefits (like receiving colostrum and setting feeding rhythm) and maternal benefits (like oxytocin release for lactation and uterine contraction)13.... A "baby friendly" hospital or being informed about hospital birthing processes and having support are highlighted as important15. The complexity of breastmilk is so great that the sources argue it's unlikely a synthetic substitute could ever fully replace it9.

Discuss Infant formula problems.
Based on the sources provided, there are several issues discussed regarding infant formula:
•
A classic business strategy involves replacing something freely available with a patentable commodity that people are then forced to purchase1. The switch away from natural milk to infant formula is characterized in this way, resulting in a $90.91 billion annual market for formula sales2.
•
According to one source, this switch away from natural milk has resulted in two major problems2.
•
Firstly, infant formula is described as being full of unhealthy components2. These unhealthy components are said to promote allergies and obesity2. For example, the first ingredient in formula is often corn syrup, followed by seed oils2. Federal law is stated to require seed oils in infant formula due to a law based on flawed nutritional science from the 1960s that has never been updated2.
•
Secondly, breast milk is described as containing many vital components that are impossible to synthetically replicate3. These include numerous vital growth factors4, microRNA4, a unique set of antibodies and immunoglobulins5, key cytokines5, a variety of enzymes6, a protein with potent anticancer activity6, endogenous cannabinoids7, human milk oligosaccharides8, essential fatty acids, cholesterol, and other unique lipids crucial for brain and eye development8.
•
Fats critical for brain development, eye development, and cognitive function are either not present in infant formula or are present at relatively low levels, except in animal milk substitutes8. The absence of these fats from formula is believed by many experts in the field to be one reason why breast milk is significantly healthier for infants8. Human breast milk also contains bile salt-stimulated lipase, an enzyme absent in cow's milk and most other commonly consumed milks (like formula) which is specifically adapted to enhance the digestion and absorption of fats and cholesterol in human infants8.
•
Highly bioavailable nutrients, such as iron, are also found in breast milk, meaning lower concentrations are needed compared to formula9. Iron added to infant formula can interfere with the critical absorption of zinc9.
•
Microwaving formula (or breast milk) to warm it destroys many critical nutrients9.
•
Formula feeding is also linked to a higher total allergen burden, which is stated to exacerbate existing autoimmune processes10. This is particularly consequential for premature infants, who are less likely to be breastfed and more vulnerable to vaccine injuries10.

Discuss Breastfeeding support.
Based on the sources provided, here is information regarding breastfeeding and support for it:
The sources highlight the importance of support systems for mothers to ensure successful breastfeeding1. The health and diet of the mother are noted as factors that impact the quality of breastmilk1. Breastmilk is described as nature's perfect food, containing complex bioactive molecules and invaluable nutrients beneficial for infant development and health2.... It is argued that the complexity of breastmilk makes a synthetic substitute unlikely to ever replace it5.
Several factors related to the birthing process and early infant care are discussed as impacting breastfeeding:
•
The sources suggest that benefits attributed to breastfeeding are also seen in mothers who avoid more invasive hospital birth procedures6.
•
It is noted that mothers who undergo invasive birthing procedures are significantly less likely to breastfeed, which, according to the source, illustrates a critical need for society to reexamine how children are brought into the world and raised6.
•
Skin-to-skin contact, which is often prevented at hospital births, is presented as providing immense benefits to infants and mothers, including stimulating the maternal release of oxytocin, a hormone necessary for lactation6.
•
Infants separated from their mothers during the first week of life were half as likely to breastfeed in one study mentioned6.
•
The early period following birth, specifically the first 30 minutes and the first several days, is described as critical for the infant to set the rhythm of feeding and obtain colostrum, and for the mother through oxytocin release from suckling which helps expel the placenta and minimize postpartum blood loss7. For these reasons, it is considered critical to ensure this early feeding occurs, and if possible, artificial nipples like pacifiers or bottles should not be introduced during this time7.
•
Analgesia during childbirth or delaying the start of breastfeeding has been shown to impair the infant's ability to breastfeed8.
•
Because of these factors, the sources suggest it is important to be informed about the hospital birthing process, have appropriate support while there, and deliver at a "baby friendly" hospital if possible8.
While acknowledging breast milk's benefits, the sources also mention that in cases where a mother's milk is not enough for her infant, a supplemental natural infant formula can be beneficial, but only if it is composed of natural ingredients providing critical nutrients and uses raw rather than pasteurized milk to preserve vital nutrients and prevent it from becoming a potent allergen9. However, pasteurizing donated human breastmilk, a common practice, is said to destroy many vital components10.
The sources also caution against practices like swaddling infants, noting that while viewed as safe if done correctly, the author is not a fan as infants should be moving, and swaddling has been repeatedly linked to doubling the risk of sudden infant death and developmental hip dysplasia8.
Beyond the immediate impacts, breastfeeding is linked to numerous long-term health benefits for infants, including lower rates of infections, gastrointestinal issues, allergies, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, and certain cancers, as well as improved brain development and cognition5.... For the mother, breastfeeding offers short-term benefits like improved bonding, mood, weight loss, and reduced postpartum depression, and long-term benefits including reduced risks of breast, ovarian, endometrial cancer, and high blood pressure13. Some of the conditions breastmilk prevents are noted as often following vaccination12.

Discuss Early feeding importance.
Based on the sources provided, the importance of early feeding, particularly breastfeeding immediately after birth, is highlighted as critical for both the infant and the mother1....
Here's what the sources say about the importance of early feeding:
•
The first milk released by the mother, known as colostrum, is described as the most potent milk a mother releases3.
•
The period immediately following birth is considered critical for setting the rhythm of feeding and for the infant to obtain the mother's colostrum, which is only present for a few days2.
•
Newborn infants are eager to latch in the first 30 minutes following birth2.
•
Early feeding, specifically the maternal oxytocin release stimulated by suckling, is important for the mother as it helps to expel the placenta, contract the uterus, and thus minimize postpartum blood loss2.
•
Ensuring this early feeding occurs over the first several days of the child's life is considered critical2.
•
Introducing artificial nipples, such as pacifiers or bottles, during this critical early period should be avoided if possible2.
•
Practices such as analgesia during childbirth or delaying the start of breastfeeding have been shown to impair the infant's ability to breastfeed4.
•
Skin-to-skin contact, which is often prevented in hospital births, provides immense benefits to infants, including making them less likely to cry, and to mothers by stimulating the release of oxytocin, a hormone necessary for lactation1. One study mentioned found that infants separated from their mothers during the first week of life were half as likely to breastfeed (37% versus 72%)1.
•
The sources suggest that societies should re-examine how children are brought into the world and raised, noting that mothers who undergo more invasive hospital birth procedures are significantly less likely to breastfeed1.
•
Being informed about the hospital birthing process, having appropriate support while there, and, if possible, delivering at a "baby friendly" hospital are important steps to support early feeding4.

Discuss Natural milk components.
Based on the sources, natural milk, specifically breastmilk, is presented as a highly complex and beneficial substance for infant nutrition, often referred to as "Nature's Perfect Food"1. Its composition is far more intricate than can be synthetically replicated2....
Here are some of the key components and characteristics of breastmilk discussed:
•
Complex Bioactive Molecules Breastmilk contains a variety of these molecules that continuously support the growth and health of the child1.
•
Vital Growth Factors Numerous vital growth factors are present, which facilitate the development of the infant's systems, such as the gastrointestinal tract1.
•
MicroRNA This component is protected from digestion and can be absorbed by the infant1. It guides tissue development, regulates critical gene expression, helps prevent allergies (including food allergies), and contributes to the development of the immune system1.
•
Antibodies and Immunoglobulins The mother produces a unique set of these to protect the infant against environmental pathogens she has encountered while the infant's immune system is still developing4. They also guide the development of the infant's immune system4.
•
Key Cytokines Cytokines like TGF-β, IL-6, and IL-10 play critical roles in promoting oral tolerance, supporting immune system development, and enhancing intestinal epithelial proliferation and repair4. Breastmilk also helps inhibit immune cells from shifting to a Th2 state (associated with autoimmunity) and can balance a Th2 response4.
•
Enzymes Breastmilk contains various enzymes that help the infant digest the milk and release peptides important for immune system development and eliminating pathogens5.
•
Other Bioactive Molecules Inhibiting Microbial Growth These include lactoferrin, lysozymes, mucin, interferon, and fibronectin5.
•
Protein with Anticancer Activity A protein in breastmilk shows potent anticancer activity against over 40 types of cancers without harming normal cells and has been used to treat cancer in humans5. It also possesses powerful antimicrobial activity and improves bacterial sensitivity to antibiotics5.
•
Endogenous Cannabinoids These are present and are important for human development, influencing appetite, mother-child bonding, immune function, brain development, and motor function6.
•
Colostrum The first milk produced, colostrum, is noted as the most potent type of milk6.
•
Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs) These support the growth of healthy gut bacteria (such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli), reduce inflammation, and contribute to immune system development7.
•
Essential Fatty Acids, Cholesterol, and Unique Lipids These are considered critical for brain development, eye development, and cognitive function, including academic success7. The source suggests the absence or relatively low levels of these in infant formula (except in animal milk substitutes) is believed by many experts to be a reason why breastmilk is significantly healthier for infants7. Human breastmilk specifically contains bile salt-stimulated lipase, an enzyme absent in cow's milk and most formula, which is adapted to enhance fat and cholesterol digestion and absorption in human infants7. Cholesterol is also necessary for hormone production, including a surge of testosterone in infant boys during the first 1-3 months8.
•
Highly Bioavailable Nutrients Nutrients like iron are highly bioavailable, meaning lower concentrations are needed compared to formula, which helps prevent them from interfering with the absorption of other critical nutrients (such such as iron in formula interfering with zinc absorption)8.
The source highlights that the complexity of breastmilk makes it unlikely that a synthetic substitute like infant formula could ever fully replace it2.... This contrasts with infant formula, which is described as often containing unhealthy components like corn syrup and seed oils (required by outdated law)9 and lacking many of the vital components found in breastmilk2. Furthermore, warming breastmilk (or formula) in a microwave destroys many critical nutrients, and pasteurization of donated breastmilk also destroys many vital components8.

Subject: Review of the critical differences between natural breastmilk and commercial infant formula, the benefits of breastfeeding, and factors influencing breastmilk quality.
Executive Summary:
This document summarizes key points from "The Hidden Secrets of Natural Milk - by A Midwestern Doctor," which argues that natural breastmilk is a complex and irreplaceable source of nutrition and developmental support for infants, far superior to processed infant formula. The article highlights the vital bioactive components in breastmilk, their roles in infant health and development, and the numerous documented benefits of breastfeeding for both infants and mothers. It also emphasizes the significant impact of maternal diet and lifestyle on breastmilk quality and infant health, and critiques the common practices surrounding infant feeding and childbirth in modern society.
Main Themes:
The Superiority of Natural Breastmilk over Processed Formula: The core argument is that natural breastmilk, designed by nature, provides a level of nourishment and developmental support that cannot be replicated by synthetic infant formula.
Complex Bioactive Components in Breastmilk: Breastmilk is not just food; it's a dynamic biological fluid containing a vast array of components crucial for infant health and development beyond basic nutrition.
Extensive Health Benefits of Breastfeeding for Infants: Breastfeeding is linked to significantly lower rates of numerous illnesses, improved cognitive function, and reduced risk of chronic diseases later in life.
Significant Health Benefits of Breastfeeding for Mothers: Breastfeeding provides both immediate and long-term health advantages for mothers.
The Critical Role of Maternal Diet and Health: The quality of breastmilk is heavily influenced by the mother's nutrition and overall health, suggesting that a healthy maternal lifestyle is essential for optimal infant feeding.
Critique of Modern Practices Affecting Breastfeeding: The article implicitly and explicitly criticizes modern medical and societal practices, such as widespread use of formula, certain hospital birth interventions, and maternal consumption of unhealthy foods, for hindering successful breastfeeding and negatively impacting infant health.
Most Important Ideas and Facts:
Infant formula as a "poor imitation": The author describes processed infant formula as a "poor imitation of what nature created" and links its widespread use to "a myriad of problems for humanity." The financial incentive behind the formula industry is highlighted, with formula sales being a "$90.91 billion annual market."
Unhealthy components in formula: Infant formula is criticized for containing "unhealthy components that promote allergies and obesity," such as corn syrup as the first ingredient and seed oils, which are required by federal law based on "flawed nutritional science from the 1960s that was never updated."
Irreplaceable components in breastmilk: Breastmilk contains "many vital components which will never be possible to synthetically replicate." These include:
Growth factors: Essential for the development of systems like the gastrointestinal tract.
MicroRNA: Guides tissue development, regulates gene expression, prevents allergies, and contributes to immune system development.
Antibodies and immunoglobulins: Produced by the mother to protect against environmental pathogens and guide infant immune system development.
Cytokines (TGF-β, IL-6, IL-10): Support immune system development, promote oral tolerance, and enhance intestinal health.
Enzymes: Aid digestion, release beneficial peptides, and directly inhibit microbial growth.
A protein with potent anticancer activity: "Against over 40 types of cancers" without harming normal cells, and also has powerful antimicrobial activity.
Endogenous cannabinoids: Important for appetite, bonding, immune function, brain development, and motor function.
Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs): Support healthy gut bacteria, reduce inflammation, and contribute to immune system development.
Essential fatty acids, cholesterol, and unique lipids: "Critical for brain development, eye development, and cognitive function (e.g., academic success)." Their absence or low levels in formula are seen as a major reason for breastmilk's health advantages. Breastmilk contains bile salt-stimulated lipase, an enzyme specific to human infants for fat and cholesterol digestion.
Highly bioavailable nutrients (e.g., iron): Allow for lower concentrations in milk compared to formula, preventing absorption issues.
Colostrum's significance: The "most potent milk a mother releases is the colostrum (the first milk)." Colostrum from cows is also noted for having healed various illnesses and injuries.
Benefits of breastfeeding for infants (Specific examples):"Lower rates of infections (e.g., pneumonia, ear infections) and lower hospitalization rates (e.g., for infections)."
"Lower rates of gastrointestinal issues... and allergies (e.g., being half as likely to develop asthma)."
"Being half as likely to die from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome."
"Being less likely to develop cancers (particularly leukemia)."
"Improved brain development (particularly white matter growth)."
"Improved cognition (e.g., verbal and spatial skills or mathematical ability and working memory)." Breastfeeding for 12 months was associated with a "three-point increase in IQ" and higher educational/financial success.
"Being significantly less likely to develop autism or ADHD."
Potential link between breastfeeding benefits and vaccine outcomes: The article posits that breastmilk's ability to prevent certain conditions "often follow vaccination" and suggests it may be due to breastmilk "reducing the Th2 response, improving the physiologic zeta potential, and reducing the total allergen burden seen with formula feeding." Premature infants are highlighted as being "significantly less likely to be breastfed and significantly more vulnerable to vaccine injuries."
Benefits of breastfeeding for mothers (Specific examples):Promotes "better infant bonding," enhances "maternal mood," aids in "post-pregnancy weight loss," and reduces the likelihood of "postpartum depression."
Each childbirth lowers breast cancer risk by 7%, and breastfeeding over 12 months reduces the risk of "breast cancer by 4.3%," "ovarian cancer by 34% (and by up to 91% with extended breastfeeding)," "endometrial cancer and high blood pressure."
Impact of early feeding practices: Skin-to-skin contact after birth is crucial for infant benefits and stimulating maternal oxytocin release (necessary for lactation). Infants separated from mothers in the first week were "half as likely to breast feed (37% vs. 72%)." Early latching in the first 30 minutes is "critical for both the infant... and the mother." Avoiding artificial nipples in the early days is recommended.
Negative impact of medical interventions on breastfeeding: Analgesia during childbirth or delaying breastfeeding can "impair the ability of the infant to breastfeed." Mothers who undergo "invasive birthing procedures are significantly less likely to breastfeed."
Maternal diet and breastmilk quality: "Breastmilk production is highly dependent upon maternal nutrition." A "healthy diet full of the fats and nutrients... will produce significantly better quality breastmilk." Conversely, "junk food, nutritionally inadequate foods... unhealthy fats (e.g., trans fats or partially hydrogenated vegetable oils)... or other forms of junk food" lead to "significantly less nourishing" breastmilk. Vegan mothers are noted as potentially having issues with nutritionally inadequate foods.
Concentration of beneficial substances in breastmilk: Iodine, essential for infant growth and development, is present in breastmilk at levels "20-50 higher than that found in the mother’s plasma." Maternal iodine deficiency is a concern.
Historic observations on diet and health: Referencing dentist Weston Price, the author notes how "degenerative changes... and a myriad of human diseases would consistently occur when societies switched from their traditional diets to modern processed foods," linking this to deficiencies in Vitamins A, D, and K₂, which have declined in breastmilk due to modern diets.
Allergens and toxins in breastmilk: Substances consumed by the mother can pass into breastmilk, including "dietary peanut allergens, COVID vaccine antibodies and vaccine mRNA." Certain maternal foods (chocolate, pasteurized milk, eggs, gluten, MSG, soy) can trigger infant reactions (crying, poor digestion, rashes). Environmental toxins (pesticides, flame retardants) and certain medications can also concentrate in breastmilk.
"Colic" as potentially linked to diet or other issues: The author suggests "colic" might encompass "vaccine encephalitis" or "variety of (painful) issues in the GI tract or the infant still being hungry after feeding." Dietary colic is often due to "unhealthy formula or allergen containing breastmilk" and can be addressed by changing maternal diet or using natural formula.
Observations of healthier infants: The author notes observing infants who are "dramatically more alert, engaged, joyful and full of vitality" and finding that their parents "prioritized avoiding the common sources of ill-health infants are exposed to (e.g., by having a safe home birth, avoiding vaccinations and avoiding processed infant formulas)."
Conclusion:
The article presents a strong case for the unique and indispensable nature of natural breastmilk for infant health and development. It highlights the biochemical complexity of breastmilk and the extensive range of benefits derived from breastfeeding for both infants and mothers. The author emphasizes that optimal breastmilk quality is dependent on maternal health and diet and suggests that many common infant health issues are linked to deviations from natural feeding and childbirth practices. The piece serves as a call to action for parents and society to prioritize natural approaches to infant feeding and health, moving away from processed alternatives and potentially harmful interventions.
