Do Face Masks Pose Serious Risks To Children & to the Healthy?

Does A Face Mask Pose a Serious Risk To Children or to the Healthy?

“Please don’t keep a face mask on your kids. My nephew went to get tubes in his ears. As mandated by the hospital, he wore a mask; 2 layers of woven fabric. They couldn’t get his 02 sats (saturation) over 87. They were bouncing from 80-87. Anything below 90 requires oxygen. They waited and waited until finally my sister had them remove his mask. After 2 breaths it jumped to 97.”

When I read those words, I wondered why a hospital would not be giving 02 if that happened!? We never face-masked anyone for any procedure in the ORs I worked in until this ‘Rona’ came along! A child’s O2 saturation should be above 95% at all times, and they let it get down to 80?

Parents: please advocate if this happens to your child.

The CDC does not recommend face-masking for children under the age of 2 due to risks of suffocation, but it being pushed anyway.

The WHO just stated June 8, that numerous studies show face masks are neither safe nor effective. So, we must keep these things in mind. 

The epidemiology of SARS infections doesn’t seem to affect children as significantly as influenza. “SARS is a relatively mild disease in this age group.”

But What About Masks on Adults?

Some may wish to wearing a face mask for short periods, but one should not attack and insult those who have chosen not to wear a face mask, as the studies below suggest is the wise choice.

Do a Self Test! Get a pulse oximeter for yourself, put on a mask, see what it does to YOUR 02 levels!

And here is a 4:30 minute video using a C02 meter:

Studies have indeed found significant problems with wearing such a mask. This can vary from headaches and carbon dioxide accumulation, all the way to serious life-threatening complications.

There is a difference between the N95 respirator mask and the surgical mask (cloth or paper mask) in terms of side effects.

The N95 mask, which filters out 95% of particles with an average size of >0.3 microns, impairing respiratory exchange more than a soft mask, is more often associated with headaches. (1) Among health care workers studied a third developed headaches and 60% required pain medications for relief.

In another case, during major surgery, surgeons themselves had a decrease in blood O2 saturation and an increase in pulse rates.

This drop in oxygen levels (hypoxia) directly causes a direct lowering of the immune system. (2)(3)(4) 

Hypoxia inhibits the type of main immune cells used to fight viral infections called the CD4+ T-lymphocyte. Hypoxia sets off a whole chain reaction that stimulates a powerful immune inhibitor cell called the Tregs.  Simply put, your mask likely puts you at an increased risk of infections and an outcome like the formation of cancerous metastases. (2)(3)(4) 

Cancer & Heart Risks from a Face Mask? 

Cancer grows best in an environment that is low in oxygen.

Cancer patients fare worse from face mask hypoxia as it pro-inflammatory and spurs the growth, invasion and spread of cancers. (5)(6)

Repeated episodes of hypoxia has been proposed as a significant factor in atherosclerosis, increasing all cardiovascular (heart attacks) and cerebrovascular (strokes) diseases. (7)

Oxygen Deprivation Associated With Onset Of Dementia

Oxygen deprivation in the brain can lead to some forms of dementia, including Alzheimer’s Disease. Cerebral hypoxia, induced through other forms of hypoxia, can cause brain damage, including brain cell death and other forms of mental deterioration.

Rebreathing Viruses 

When someone has any respiratory virus, they will exhale some of it with each breath. When wearing a face mask they will be constantly rebreathing the viruses, raising the concentration of the virus in the lungs and the nasal passages.

We not only rebreathe our own C02 and viruses, but it gets scarier!

Can a Face Mask Cause Us To Breath COVID-19 Virus Into the Brain?

The answer in 3 studies appears to be YES. See the links to the studies in the quote below!

Dr. Russell Blaylock brings us evidence in studies suggesting that in some cases the virus can enter the brain. (8)(9) “By wearing a face mask, the exhaled viruses will not be able to escape and will concentrate in the nasal passages, enter the olfactory nerves and travel into the brain.” (10)

Sadly, the experts aren’t telling those with lung diseases, such as emphysema or COPD, of the risks when wearing a face mask of any kind—which can cause a severe decline in lung function. This also includes patients with lung cancer or other cancers.

Dr. Blaylock goes on to say:

“The fact that this virus is a relatively benign infection for the vast majority of the population and that most of the at-risk group also survive, from an infectious disease and epidemiological standpoint, by letting the virus spread through the healthier population we will reach a herd immunity level rather quickly that will end this pandemic quickly and prevent a return next winter. During this time, we need to protect the at-risk population by avoiding close contact, boosting their immunity with compounds that boost cellular immunity and in general, care for them.”

So a parting reminder to parents: don’t let anyone do a procedure on your child (or an adult, for that matter) in a mask without oxygen—which should be standard practice in all hospitals!

Hi! I’m Jacqueline!

Thanks for being part of this journey with me.
Welcome to my own little place on the internet! Home is where I love to be. I feel there is no greater place to incubate souls. These days you’ll find me using my experiences here to write about herbal remedies and natural health research — a big passion of mine. But being a wife and mother is not easy. It is challenging and potentially lonely. I get that. I wanted to create a place to connect with and support other moms for creating a natural, healthy, and fulfilling home life.

    This is complete garbage wrapped in pseudoscience. As a former RN, you should be ashamed of yourself.

      Sadly, Jenni, you have apparently ignored opening the numerous links that lead to peer-reviewed studies that have not been tainted by the current efforts to construct a narrative to increase fear!
      You are also stating that you – an RN- are greater in knowledge and experience than the scientist and phDs performed and wrote the studies. Lastly, you are ignoring the cardiologist and heart surgeon with a 40 year practice.
      The pride does not escape me!

        Good response Jaqueline.

        As a licensed Doctor, I am in agreement with your blog. I am appalled at the pride and severe shaming from fellow health care providers who just repeat a narrative & refuse to look at real facts and research. Keep standing for truth sister 🙂

    Thank you for this post Jacqueline!! Well written, well researched and well documented. I could not disagree with Jenni’s statement more. And correct me if I am wrong, but are you not also, in fact, a former RN?! Keep up the good work, I appreciate the time and effort you put in to providing accurate data.

      Hi, Rhonda! Yes, I am an old heart OR circulating and scrub RN. I ran a busy heart room for many years before I did specialized home care for 1 elderly patient in order to pay for and get (relative to the OR) rest before attempting 3 GIFT procedures to conceive and hopefully solve our almost 20 year infertility issue. https://deeprootsathome.com/now-i-value-life/

    Jacqueline,
    I can’t thank you enough for this post. I am a mother of 6 and Nonna of 13! (And NUMEROUS “Adopted” children and grandies ) I have been diagnosed with COPD. Was doing great and off O² until my autoimmune disease attacked my lungs in October. Fortunately I was weaned off all but 1ltr at night (w/C-PAP) until Rona. Now when forced to mask, my bp rises and 0² plummets. NONE OF MY 9 Dr’s think it has to do with the mask! I was also FORCED TAPERED of of my anxiety med because I take an opiate for Chronic intractable pain (long story). I took them together safely for years. I think I’d be fine, except am EXTREMELY claustrophobic, so the mask makes me crazy! I will be showing this to all my Dr’s! Thanks again, and God bless!

    Jacqueline, I appreciate that you always posts links to reputable sources and studies!
    I have to wear a mask all day at work, and always get a headache. I often pull it off or down to get some “real air.” So yes, it gets touched a lot! I use many of your recommended things to fight off viruses, so I am trusting God to keep me healthy.
    Jenni is apparently blinded by the mainstream media and the health industry, which are ignoring science.
    However, she may not be claiming to be a nurse herself, but rather stating that you are a former RN, and that she thinks you are wrong.
    Your response was very good, but she may not have a science background. I think most of those people tend to just rely on (believe) MSM.
    Keep up the good work!

    I am a practicing RN and I couldn’t agree more with the studies and points presented! There is no science supporting the use of masks and they are simply not needed… causing more harm than good. I fear the misinformation will be so hard to correct! Thank you for your dedication to truth!

      Blessings- Rachel, thank you so much for your insight and encouragement! It is an uphill fight as there are so many corrupt voices today pushing a terrible agenda:

      From the retracted hydroxychloroquine study that was falsified: https://deeprootsathome.com/serious-misconduct-retraction-of-major-lancet-hydroxychloroquine-study/

      To the suppressed (hidden) studies that showed vaccines increase brain injuries and chronic diseases in Kids: https://deeprootsathome.com/buried-evidence-rises-again-chronic-disease-immune-systems-injuries/

      To the ignoring of Doctors Offit, Hotez, and Fauci as they warn the coronavirus vaccine may/will trigger a lethal immune Rxn: https://deeprootsathome.com/doctors-warn-immune-reaction/

      I hope these will help arm you with information when confronted!

      Many blessings, friend!

    Touche, Jacqueline! I met you at a function for Daniel Fowl in San Antonio YEARS ago, and just found you again via Heidi St John on Instagram. I have never believed this scam/plannedemic from Day One and neither have any of my four daughters. (As I type this, I am actually testing my oxygen saturation levels with an oximeter with a mask on and off! BTW, my dear husband, Todd, went on to glory in Jan 2019…He was asymptomatic and by the time he was diagnosed, it was metastatic Stage 4 adenocarcinoma. So now I have his oximeter…) Anyway, I am so grateful I’ve found you again and look forward to fighting this craziness with you and others!

    Thanks for sharing this with all of us! I am no doctor but I have experienced the lack of oxygen that comes with masks. A couple of weeks or so ago I was wearing one of those tight fitting cloth masks and couldn’t breathe after 5 minutes of wearing it. The inside of my mask was super hot and when i took it off the inside was slightly damp. I can’t imagine having it on all day……. This makes perfect sense, hopefully we can stop having these mandatory.
    Blessings!

      Rachel, I am sorry you have had to experience that! You are a perfect example of what happens to millions of people! Even in surgery where the rooms are kept incredibly chilly 65 degrees, it can get steamy inside with moisture molecules, and that even decreases any 02 exchange through the barrier more.
      Thanks for your comment!

    Even though Facebook block this, I think this is a very important article. It is crazy how the original ad was littered by Google with face mask ads Quest! Just really poor on Google’s part and really poor on Facebook’s part that they won’t allow all the truth about masks to be known. I am one of those people who is oxygen O2 levels measured by a pulse ox unit starts dropping with a Max and I don’t get enough air with my allergies and Asthma. That is with the thinnest of scarves. I won’t wear a mask ever. It is a violation of my HIPAA rights. And a violation of my medical privacy rights to even have to give a reason why I’m not wearing it. And I should never be denied service in a store or other business because of it. But I was nearly denied a heart echocardiogram for a bad valve because I didn’t want to wear a mask inside the building inside the room where they were doing the sonogram. Such poor practices. Making me do things they know will make it so I can’t breathe.

    Thank you for this! I am required by work to wear a mask. Fortunatately I am not usually in any store for long and can remove it during drive time. I made several masks and wore them until I realized the ones provided by work are more ‘breathable’ (1 layer of knit fabric vs 2 layers of woven cotton fabric). The first few days back at work were the worst!
    It was very ironic that as I read your article, I saw ad after ad for masks. 😔

    Thanks for the wonderful post, Jacqueline!
    I recently stumbled upon your articles, and I’m loving them so far.
    As someone with asthma, I can agree with this article wholeheartedly.
    Our local grocery stores just implemented mask requirements, and after just a short trip, I was lightheaded and struggling to breathe. I was so sure I was going to pass out! As the one who does most of the shopping, this is so frustrating! The end of this craziness can’t come soon enough.

    Hi Jackie!
    It was a blessing to meet and speak with you at church today. I visited CBF with your friend Karen Malek. I began 2 sprays of TSR on the way home to Lafayette. I would like to buy 3 bottles. I have the link to Conseva and assume I buy it thru that link and reference your name. Karen said the cost is $158 for three bottles which includes shipping. Again, so good to meet you friend!

    Because of Christ,
    lori

      Hi, Lori,
      Yes, it was so great to meet you and your friends! It was a pleasant surprise. Karen is a dear friend!
      Here is the link for you to use: https://inspiredhealthtrs.cosevatrs.com/ It should say my name Jacqueline at the top of the page.
      Just start at 1 spray a day and do that for a week so you don’t start too fast.

      I will email you the schedule now.

      Blessings,
      Jacque
