Hey there, Mama. If you’ve landed on this page, chances are you’re doing what so many of us have felt called to do — dig deeper.
This section of my blog is dedicated to sharing the vax-related resources that changed my life and my children’s lives. You’ll find links to studies, books, websites, product recommendations, and other parents’ stories that helped me make informed decisions about vaccines — and I hope it can help you feel empowered too.
First and foremost: Trust your gut.
If you’re a new mom, please hear me when I say this — your instincts are powerful. If something feels off, look into it. Ask questions. Don’t silence that voice in your heart. I didn’t, and it changed our lives.
Our Story
When my oldest son was a baby, we followed the recommended vaccine schedule. But as the months went on, I started noticing things — he wasn’t hitting milestones, he wasn’t talking or engaging with the world the way I hoped he would. It felt like I was trying everything, but nothing was clicking. And every appointment where vaccines were scheduled, I had this deep, sinking feeling in my stomach that something wasn’t right.
I tried to brush it off. After all, doctors said it was “normal.” They told me reactions like fevers, screaming, or changes in behavior were just coincidences — not related. But I couldn’t ignore it anymore. We decided to postpone further vaccines, and after our pediatrician said we had to stay on schedule or leave, we found a new doctor who respected our concerns.
That’s when things changed.
We gave my son Earthley’s vaccine detox, and within two weeks, he began talking more and catching up on milestones. My heart was so full — and also broken — wondering what might have happened if we’d kept going down the path we were on.
With my second son, I felt torn again. We gave him his shots, and not long after, he began screaming inconsolably — stiff as a board, clearly in pain, day after day. We were told it was my milk — that I was the problem. But my mama heart screamed, no way. I started digging into the vaccines he had received, and what I found — high rates of “inconsolable crying,” brain inflammation (encephalitis), and more — broke me.
I trusted my gut again. We stopped his vaccines at 2 months. I slowly brought back breastfeeding, and he thrived. No more pain. No more screaming. Today, at 18 months, he is talking, counting, healthy, and so full of life. Many would call it a coincidence — but I know better.
Why I Created This Page
I know this journey is controversial. I know people will have strong opinions. But this isn’t about what the internet thinks of me — this is about my children. It’s my job to protect them, and that means doing the hard work, the long nights of reading inserts, listening to stories, finding doctors who listen, and questioning the narrative when things don’t add up.
This page is here to share the same resources that helped me.
You might make a different decision for your family — and that’s okay. My goal isn’t to convince you one way or another. It’s to encourage you to think critically, ask questions, and never ignore that gut feeling. Because it’s there for a reason.
