Tila Tequila has some crazy things to say. Check out the level of bigotry and anti-science (anti-reality) that she spouts in her post.
Firstly, the picture there is not a real pic of a vaccination. The needle is too big. There is too much fluid in the syringe. It's being put in the arm (for babies and infants, it is usually put in a thigh). There are no rubber gloves. Showing a fake picture to bolster a point will always make one lose credibility points ;)
The statement "stabbing them with sharp needles" I actually found funny as I then would question and ask "if one should stab with a dull needle?" Of course, she is using "stab" to spread fear. I know, because I have a phobia of needles myself and that is how my irrational fear can interpret it, but then I let my rational side win and realize it is not stabbing (violently piercing, thrusting gesture) but an injection and I calm myself down enough to get it done.
The whole idea of "early trauma" is questionable. Babies go through a lot (like the birth process) and usually come out fairly resilient. Early childhood trauma can be caused by stress from accidents, physical trauma, abuse, neglect, and exposure to domestic and community violence. A vaccination does not fit into any of these categories. Physical trauma would be injuries severe enough to warrant medical attention.
Calling it "satanic ritual abuse" is just nonsensical. I think she is delusional in that her belief system allows her to call anything she disagrees with as the work of Satan. I suppose she would fit right in with the Westboro Baptist Church folks. Satan, of course, is a work of fiction and believing a work of fiction is that level of real is dangerous thinking.
This statement is just laughable: "You're just going to trust MAN". I don't know if she is referring to male or referring to man-made vs natural. Maybe both?
She uses the old "do you know what's in it" ploy about vaccines. Yes. Yes we do. She uses the common claim about mercury. This is sorta true. Some vaccines (not all) may use Thimerosal which contains mercury bound as an ethyl which does not bioaccumulate. The stuff to worry about is mercury bound as a methyl. It is easy to confuse the two if one is not educated in such things. The aborted fetus claim is simply not true.
She then goes off and states that some children are purposefully targeted " to inject them with chemicals that changes their DNA to turn them homosexual or transgender etc." Conspiracy Theory much? ;) This doesn't even make sense. How do they get hundreds of thousands of doctors, nurses, pharmacists all in on this nefarious practice? How do they decide which children to target? The scope of this claim is just too huge that it is implausible.
Also, what chemicals are able to change DNA to cause a person to become homosexual or transgender? All I can picture here is some Alex Jones level nuttiness
Her Facebook page is splattered with other anti-LGBQT rants, obviously due to her extremely conservative religious views. In an odd sense of irony, at least she isn't stating that they chose that lifestyle. But then again, she's not saying they were born that way either. Sigh. It's amazing how much these people have to warp things to make it fit their silly narratives.
Her claim of unvaccinated children having stronger immune systems is just plain nonsense. Her child may just be lucky to not have contracted any serious viruses. There are so many cases of unvaccinated children losing their lives to preventable diseases, especially in the past decade as we see certain diseases make a strong comeback due to anti-vaccine proponents.
Taking medical advice from Tila is not a good thing. She clearly has little to no knowledge of the things she is against. She should just stick to porn and reality tv shows (and even that is debatable).

Stranger Danger
Spreading misinformation, even with good intentions is not a good thing. We need the most correct information to make the best decisions instead of other mistakes. Don't spread this "abduction" video that has been debunked (3 years ago) and shown to spout false information. You could be adding to needless fears and causing greater anxiety.

Hair Scam
Be wary of Mutli-Level Marketing promotions of "challenges." Recently there have been some for hair and nail growth. One of the claims are that it can make your hair grow longer (1-4"/month). You hair growth rate is usually determined by your genetics and can range from 0.5-2 inches per month. That rate can be reduced by a poor diet, stress and other factors.
These challenges usually involve the taking of supplement that contain keratin and biotin and other ingredients.
Biotin: The pills can have a Biotin dosage of 5000mcg. The daily recommended intake of 30-100mcg. This is unnecessary mega-dosing as a lack of biotin in the body is rare. You should not be taking any pill or supplement like this without a consultation with a family physician.
Keratin: Hair loss has actually been noted with ingestion of liquid keratin products. It may be possible to have too much keratin causing rough, dry skin and course hair. Since keratin is a protein, too much of it can cause the kidneys to work harder to excrete it in the urine called proteinuria and can lead to renal insufficiency. Again, do not take supplements/pills without consulting a family physician.
MSM: Has shown some, but limited positive results for treating allergies, repetitive stress injuries, certain bladder disorders like interstitial cystitis, wounds and arthritic knee pain. It can have side effects if taken orally such as diarrhea or gastrointestinal discomfort. Why this is in a hair product, I'm not sure. I can only assume that they may be trying to link it to hair retention somehow.
The disclaimers also state that certain statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. Also on one site, there is small print about the testimonials stating "are purely cosmetic in nature and do not claim to cure/treat/prevent any skin & hair related disorders. "
The cost of one such product is $55 for 60 pills. You can find other products in the hair/nail section of a drugstore with similar ingredients for much less if you are so inclined to want to go this route.
My advice would to stay clear of these mlm products. They often use shady selling techniques to get you buy into the whole system, let alone the products. They use testimonials as scientific proof of it actually working is slim to non-existent. The testimonials are usually swimming in biases and credulity.

CBC Market Place Neuroreset Neuroconnect
I recently was brought into CBC Marketplace to film some parts for an episode helping to debunk a product that was promoted on CBC Dragon's Den. I was there for 9 hours over two days. Of course a lot didn't make the final product (like my foot twisting illusion) but I feel it was still good.
Here is the CBC Marketplace episode:
https://youtu.be/P-Kl0XkZuCw
After the show aired, the chiropractor revealed his physicists that helped develop his product.
Looking up on them, the first one, Kronn, does have some past credentials, but has since jumped aboard the crazy train.
Here are just a few of his products he promotes.
The first one is a water-based cleaner. It states on the product label that there are no chemicals. Ummm....water is H2O (two hydrogen and one oxygen molecules). Those are chemicals. I assume there is nothing else in there but water. This product claims to get rid of energetic pollution around you...whatever that means lmao. This reminds me of the woman who was using a spray bottle outside pointed to the sky trying to get rid of condensation trails from planes.
The second is a crystal that does supposedly amazing things like make you come alive. I guess that is helpful for zombie types. The icing on the cake though is I now have an awesome new phrase "magnetic sense of confidence". How laughably awesome is that? lolololololol!
And finally here we have "intelligent elixers" that I guess during meditation help you achieve success. I seriously cannot stop laughing. This place is just too hilarious. But seriously, if I used this to help achieve the manifestation of my highest intentions of debunking this nonsense, would that then become a paradox? lmaololololololol
I have to stop or I'm going to die of laughter. Any credibility this guy had is now completely lost. Indeed a fool and their money are easily separated with these.
