Vanity: Homemade Baby Formula
Vanity

Posted on 05/15/2022 5:12:01 AM PDT by TigerClaws

If you do a search for “homemade baby formula” on alternate search engines such as DuckDuckGo you’ll see a variety of stories - many written by doctors - on how moms can mix up formula.

But if you Google search the topic: all the stories are homemade formula is bad for your baby, you may harm or kill your baby, and don’t try this at home.

Posting this as a “vanity” as it’d be a good news story from some of our conservative reporters who visit FR.

This reminds me of the “horse paste” disinformation campaign last year against the perfectly safe Ivermectin.

“safe horse medication”

Our pet sitter, a very tech, was shocked when I told her Ivermectin was invented for humans in third-world countries. Those people take it daily to counteract parasites in the water. So many people think it’s primarily for animals.

You’re alive alright but you turned out somewhat cranky. These are women who, for various and valid reasons had to chose baby formula. The “simple” formula is indeed a tried and true 1950’s formula. Time marched on and physicians no longer advise it. No one had a premonition this would happen. These women DID NOT HAVE AN ABORTION and are following the instruction of their pediatricians. The tragedy of this is that our nation’s president will use this contrived shortage of formula to control this country and it’s citizens. There are no words to describe the treachery the left is capable of doing.

Is there a shortage of vitamin powders or mixes? I have to imagine that stuff is commercially available as an additive?

“They want us to buy their product, touted as the only safe alternative,”

And isn’t it the biggest coincidence, and oh so convenient, that Bill Gates now has an alternative for baby formula?

Oncologists use Ivermectin, fenbendozole, and a couple of other wormers to treat cancers. Brave search it.

My policy concerning the democrats is to presume the worst out of them.

If it’s the most evil, nefarious, deliberate action designed to hurt as many American citizens as possible, that’s what they are or will be doing.

And I have a pretty good track record with that criteria.

They want us to buy their product, touted as the only safe alternative, while the real reason is of course your money.

Which they market as safe when it really isn’t.

And I don’t think that money is necessarily the only motivating factor.

The destruction of the US and global depopulation also plays i to it. They are deliberately trying to destroy our bodies and health.

We live in a world of fear. We are now self helpless. Worry about everything.

What do people think hundreds of prior generations of people did? They didn’t have “approved” baby formula. Probably not all could breast feed so I’m sure they came up with something.

I bet our grandmas and great grandmas would know what to do.

We have to get away from the fear mongering. It is destroying our minds and lives.

When the baby formula crisis first emerged my wife asked: “What’s wrong with breast feeding?”. Then went on to say she as a baby was fed a homemade formula her mom made. Her brother could digest neither, so the special formula of her era was made from goats milk. I’m talking about backwoods people figured it out over 70 years ago when commercial baby formula was either non-existent or scarce.

Our society is treating this baby formula thing like its been around since the first newborn on earth. That babies will not survive without it.

It’s just one created crisis after another. Like my insurance agent said: “They are trying to wear us down, bit by bit”.

And like I say, this is just one of the many consequences of letting a stolen election go unnoticed.

Democrats can’t starve babies of moms if baby formula recipes are out there and replace us with illegal alien kids. My mom breastfed us all but I know there were times when she couldn’t or didn’t have the right amount and she fed us canned evaporated milk with a teaspoon of Karo syrup and water. Today’s elites have women so scared of doing things humans have done for hundreds of years. Goat milk was the go to back then. I’m sure this is part of the reason so many kids are allergic to so many foods too.

.....there are now mentions of a “safe horse medication” ...

And yet, the left will STILL talk about and denigrate Ivermectin as nothing but "horse dewormer pills."

Oh, the irony..... :0)

Google isn’t a search engine, it’s a propaganda engine: it doesn’t show you what you are looking for, it shows you what it wants you to see.

Put that on a shirt, sell it on Etsy, and you'll make millions. Brilliant.

There’s good gig money to be made in wet nursing. I imagine something like Uber, where lactating front-hole persons can be summoned via app. It could be given a clever name like Boober.

“Oncologists use Ivermectin, fenbendozole, and a couple of other wormers to treat cancers.”

Yes. As a cancer survivor I’ve been aware of the Ivermectin-cancer connection. Over a year ago I surmised that one reason Ivermectin was banned is because it helps cancer patients. Covid wasn’t the primary reason. If the cancer industrial complex is diminished, how does that help Big Pharma? It doesn’t.

I have to say that after I took my five-day regimen of Ivermectin when I had Covid, my overall health seemed to improve. I felt much better in every way.

I've read a couple of these fear-mongering articles. It seems the concern is that parents might use expired ingredients. Might fail to wash the bottles properly. Might fail to give their baby vitamin supplements. One article went on to tell of two babies who were hospitalized with neurological damage after drinking homemade formula. Vegan homemade formula.

None of these articles give workable solutions so presumably, babies should just starve instead?

And sadly, many will thanks to these articles and new mothers who believe everything they read in the MSM.
