apparently PEG is in almost every shampoo, conditioner, soap, cosmetic food etc. I started getting rashes and after a long process of research found it’s the polyethylene glycolic doing it. Then comes my appointment for a colonoscopy. I’m told I need to take miralax and I just happen to see the ingredients PEG. Unbelievable I already know I’m having reactions to this ingredient on my outside skin and now I’m told it’s safe to take internally. No, no, no. So I tell my dr and pharmacist who I need to convince. So unbelievable I was able to take a magnesium substitute but that’s my last test. How can we trust drs when they are so ignorant of toxic substances. They’ve made it so you can only afford Pharma medicine and not natural medicine that gets to the root of the problem. It’s not covered by insurance. I’m an older woman so disgusted with our medical system. What to do? Carol

The other common use of this is with seniors who go in for any medical procedure. Can't have any poo in the gut when doing surgery. There is a link between Miralax and cognitive decline. Dr'.s have no idea what miralax does to the gut, but give it to all the patients and patients obey to their own detriment.

I would also bet this plays a role in the allergic response to PEG in many people.

From a reader who asked me to post this for her: "I am a pediatric chiropractor and have been working w/ a little girl almost 5 yo who has been on miralax since she was a baby - bed/pant wetting and constipation. She has retained primitive reflexes which is why she is still wetting her pants. And she had many subluxations from birth that prevented her nervous system from being able to control when she needed to go and being able to go consistently. With chiropractic and magnesium support ONLY she is able to understand her body's natural cues and having regular bowel movements.

"Gentle chiropractic helps!!!

"There are so many alternatives to medications, so many herbs and foods that can help. Also need to clean up the liver on these kids!!

"It is shameful that western medicine is injuring so many families. Parents are blessed to have you sharing this info!"

To this day nobody will believe me that I received Guillain-Barre Syndrome from a colonoscopy. It was either the prep that did it or the device they were using wasnt properly sterilized. They tried telling me I ate undercooked chicken. I never eat undercooked chicken. I said maybe the person who you had in this room before me ate undercooked chicken but not me. I havent seen a doc in six years. Never felt better.

Wow. This is amazing. I wonder if anyone has had successful breakthroughs after keeping their children on Singulair Montelukast Side Effrcts Support & Discussion Group? Also causing long-term issues that vary but many are focused on neurological, anxiety, etc. That fb group has more than 20,800 members.

One of my teens took MiroLAX starting at 10 mos old for several months after having unexplainable severe constipation without diet/lifestyle changes. Trued prunes, milk of mag, oils, etc but nothing worked.

Then as a young child took Singulair daily for a few years & has experienced everything from Night Terrors/Day Terrors, Anxiety & reacted to a 🥕 & now is proud owner of a dead pancreas. I am sure all the chemical damage was causing her little growing body issues before we even knew it.

Love your work Jennifer. Keeping you & family in my prayers always.

Forget the treacherous fake science. All big pharma drugs can cause you big time problems at any time. I take nothing from big pharma in my mid 70's and lovin' it, not even OTC garbage.

I was told by a Dr that miralax along with colace etc is like laying bricks in your intestine. Some pooh gets through but it is not emptied. In our son's case who was hospitalized/instutionalized for 3yrs after having a cat 5 brain bleed, he was given some form of it daily. He wound up having to have an ostomy bag after numerous rounds of problems with his colon.

As a nurse, I see this product used every day. It's especially evident in orthopaedic post-op patients because of the constipation caused by the opiates for pain, lack of mobility, etc. And of course, the elderly patients. I had no idea it was potentially harmful. I have always offered alternatives to people in most situations (prune juice to start with), but this has given me another product on my list of suspect products! Thank you!

The other side of this is that I have a blood condition and my haematologist recommended I start a weekly injected treatment, the base of which is PEG. I asked what side effects are associated with it and he said 'some of my patients report flu-like symptoms for a day or so afterwards. It's pretty safe'. I chose not to go ahead, and he wasn't surprised (knowing my hesitance with any medication), and then told me to hold on as long as I could with the oral med, as a pharmaceutical company is working on a new medication which is looking promising, and should be available in five years or so. As he told me this, his demeanor changed noticeably - head dropped, eyes averted, voice less confident. I took that as confirmation that my stance on minimising the use of drugs is RIGHT.

This is the same doctor who told me in 2021 that I could leave the office and safely go and get any covid 'vaccine', despite my condition which makes me hugely at risk of developing blood clots! He said 'Do you know why we aren't hearing about clots in the news any more? It's because we know how to treat them!' I almost choked, as we all know the reason is because the media were told what they could and couldn't report, and the government was pushing the 'safe and effective' barrow, as well as censoring anything that would harm the message that vaccines are the biggest part of their arsenal against sickness.

The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.

TRIPHALA

When we have a cold or have dead parasites inside of us, we get constipated.

It is very important to avoid constipation. Dead parasites have the tendency to block our bowel movements. They remain inside and worst, they intoxicate us. It is the same when we have a cold. The priority number one should be to avoid that.

Take triphala and it is not a laxative. It has a lot of other benefits. It is part of ayurvedic medecine. Do your own research.

I buy this brand. It is Organic and at a very good price. I am not related to this company or make money here.

Was the fix a fecal transplant, perhaps? If so, why wasn’t that called out? Powerful therapy for dysbiosis.

My son had a Meckle Diverticulum. We didn’t know until he was 14 years old and it perforated. They had us give him miralax on and off because no one put 2 and 2 together. He now has chronic hives and severe gluten sensitivity. I suspect it is from the miralax since they didn’t start until he was taking the miralax (I also suspect vaccines) I wish I had known then what I know now.

Amazing piece Jennifer, thank you!! This is such important information as I often worry about children taking MiraLAX and then getting the mRNA vaccine.

While MiraLAX contains a single ingredient, PEG 3350, the lipid nano particle in both mRNA vaccines is incapsulated with PEG 2000, a little smaller molecule than what's in MiraLAX. However, it needs to be noted this is just an average molecular weight. Quite frankly it's the smaller molecules we are concerned about being absorbed; based on the lab work we are conducting we are seeing smaller molecules in PEG 3350 based laxatives. With the widespread use of PEG in our everyday use products, many of us have antiPEG antibodies. As a matter of fact, a german study just showed that as many as 83% of the population has some level of these antibodies. This is what may be leading to the hypersensitive reactions we are hearing about with the mRNA vaccines! Just a few years ago the FDA issued a PEG warning for anaphylactic and cardiopulmonary reactions to a couple of ultrasound agents - https://www.acr.org/Advocacy-and-Economics/Advocacy-News/Advocacy-News-Issues/In-the-April-24-2021-Issue/FDA-Warns-Against-Some-Ultrasound-Contrast-Agents

I appreciate you sharing our story, there are many likes ours in our FB group, parents against miralax.

My husband has Parkinson's Disease, and one of the side effects is constipation. When a friend told me that they had used MiraLax for her husband, also with Parkinson's, with great results, I bought some for my husband and it worked off and on. One day I tried it and had a horrible couple of days with awful gas, multiple stools, and generally yucky feeling. I'll never take that again!

When my husband went on hospice, and hadn't had a movement for about 10 days, no matter what, he was prescribed a strong liquid laxative and I was told to discontinue the MiraLax. He hasn't had any since, and tomorrow it will go in the trash!
