Re-entering Online Writing after a Decade Hiatus
I'm a former blogger itching to write publicly again
Hello, again.
I’m Alix Mayer. I was disabled and brain damaged by six travel vaccines I got for a vacation in the 1990s. At the time, I was running a worldwide customer research group for Apple Inc. My symptoms and sudden inability to read forced me to take a medical leave of absence, and I never returned to corporate America full-time. I’ve studied vaccine safety and efficacy since 2002 after I gave birth to healthy twins, but it was not until 2009 that I learned it was the vaccines that caused my life-long illness.
Having earned an MBA from a top University, I never expected this to be my life. I was inspired to be in corporate America by my two Chicago-based patriarchal lineages. One, by my adoptive father’s family history: my great, great grandfather became the most famous butcher in the world, Oscar Mayer. Two, I was inspired by my birth father’s family history of providing company-saving operations consulting to the Wrigleys and selling them a gum-base business around 1900, making the family über-wealthy for generations. My aunt famously wrote the Doublemint Twins ad in the 1940s. She was cool.
Successful business seemed to be what my family did. I thought I’d be CEO of a Silicon Valley start up by the time I was 30. It didn’t seem like work to me. Business was always fun.
Alas, that was not to be, but my vaccine injury has shown me my life’s work. My life’s work is to help others be more informed about medical choices so they can make better decisions.
As a corporate researcher I didn’t do my research before getting vaccines. I call that my Runner Up Darwin Award. I didn’t die doing something stupid, but I have a lifetime disability. Never again.
I took a break from blogging but I’m BACK!
I don’t feel alive unless I’m writing. I started my first blog in 2005 and was immediately addicted. Writing also helped immensely with my cognitive rehab. It was much better than pushing plastic cars and trucks around the maze my speech therapist gave me. Until I took a break from my blogs in about 2012, I had written and published almost 900 articles, mostly about health and medicine, but also about being a mom in Silicon Valley. Wellsphere named one of my blogs the #1 “Best General Medicine Blog” in 2011. And my video placed #1 in a Natural News Natural Health Video Transformation contest.
A divorce sidelined me for a while.
I’ve been Chairman or Board President of a vaccine safety non-profit since 2020. I co-founded the original California Chapter of Children’s Health Defense. In 2023, we separated from CHD and became Free Now Foundation, continuing the same work to defend medical freedom through our winning lawsuits. We work to prevent the medical police state and to keep the government out of the parent-child and doctor-patient relationships.
These days I’m obsessed with COVID fraud
How did they do this to us? When did the plans really start? How many laws were broken and how did they get away with it? How deep does the psy op go? What is the psychology behind mass compliance with a product that never worked and which is the most deadly product ever released on the public? Who knew early, and who acted early to let the public know of the fraud, and what was the response when these brave thought leaders went public?
I write when a topic haunts me
I have a heavily managed recovery from my vaccine injury. I’m not known for keeping a schedule since I give myself grace to deal with the many dietary mistakes of mast cell activation disorder and food reactions. Mast cell activation disorder and food reactions are the remaining disabling issues from my vaccine injury from thirty years ago. The medical profession says that those with mast cell disorders will have miserable lives since the condition is so difficult to manage and there is no known cure.
I am proud to say that with tenacity, research, and avoiding more pharmaceuticals as much as possible, I’ve overcome at least fifty other disabling conditions that were caused by the vaccine injury.
I decided that with mast cell disorder, I don’t beat myself up if I don’t have a regular bedtime or get up at a regular time in the mornings. One dietary mistake gives me sub-clinical tachycardia that lasts 6 to 8 hours, during which time I cannot sleep. I take supplements, monitor my heart rate with a pulse oximeter, and need to wait until the reaction goes away before attempting to sleep. Sometimes that doesn’t occur until 4 a.m. or later. Needless to say, it’s highly disruptive and I don’t feel great the next day.
Same goes for writing and publishing. I was born a Type A. I wish I were a writer who could schedule 2 to 4 hours per day to write. I wish I could set my alarm for 5 a.m., exercise and write before everyone else is awake. I can’t. And I will not beat myself up over it. Chronic illness forces one to be more Type B. It ain’t easy.
I have also lived in pain 24/7 since 1996 when I was injured by vaccines. I’ve reported this to countless doctors and they always write, “daily headaches.” I correct them every time: No, I have had a permament headache, 24/7, since 1996. Please don’t flipping write “daily headaches.” That minimizes it. I also deal with body pain and back pain. I manage pain in addition to the mast cell disorder, but I’ve made a ton of progress on the pain lately thanks to many incredible practitioners.
And, I know I’m getting off topic here since this section is about how often I’ll publish, but I just went mostly carnivore and made some other dietary changes thanks to working with an amazing genetic nutritionist. I am loving my new diet, as the mast cell reactions are far fewer, and even my perma-headache has vastly improved!
I’m so incredibly grateful for my team of practitioners and dear friends. I’d be nowhere without them. And I’m grateful to my children who don’t quite understand why I do this work, but I fight for their future and the future of their peers.
At any rate, when a topic haunts me, I will write a Powerpoint presentation or write an article. I like to present publicly and give interviews and will post links here. Socially, you may never know I push through the sleep loss and pain. My motto, like so many with invisible chronic illness is: Fake it ‘till you make it! And I’m making it!
I’m preparing for my healthiest year yet! 2024!
I also hope to be interviewing people who knew something was amiss with the COVID narrative and who did something about it. A show I will call: We Knew. We Acted.
I Hope to Converse with You Soon!
I hope you decide to subscribe and participate in this new Substack community. I’ve so enjoyed the Substacks of my friends and colleagues.
Thank you for being a warrior for yourself, your children and so many others with chronic conditions. I choose condition vs disease as I believe many of our ills are manmade and man-inflicted, such as yours. This great travesty waged on humanity these past few years from experiments exacted on us by our own government does have a silver lining; many of us are more aware and are learning to better self-advocate than ever in our history. I for one will never trust the medical complex or a government agency. There is no reason to not do one’s own research. I feel fortunate compared to many of those whose stories I hear, as I was diagnosed with late stage, never treated Lyme and two co-infections, one of which (Babesia), prevents me from donating blood. As a un-vaxxed individual, I need pure blood though I cannot repay the gift. I struggled for years with pain and fatigue with no real answers until finally learning the root cause and how to manage my discomfort with proper diet and nutrition as well as non-drug/surgery options for the subsequent neuropathy. I have never succumbed to the depression that comes with the constant discomfort, and feel grateful I can continue to learn and hopefully help others. I look forward to reading your articles and please let me know if I may ever be of service in your endeavors either way anything I’ve learned along my journey. There are some fabulous folks here on SubStack who have immense knowledge about protocols to return our bodies to their natural balance and protect them from the emerging onslaught of technology, pharmaceutical experiments and a polluted environment. I’d be happy to share those I’ve found. We are in this great effort to thrive together. God bless you.
That's a great restart, Alix. And you're doing great work making California sane again with your Free Now Foundation.
Its your life, and you've become an expert in dealing with vaccine injury, but just want to make sure you are aware of Marc Girardot's work. He has come up with the bolus theory of vaccine injury. Essentially, he posits that intravasculr injection results in damage to endothelial lining, resulting in vessels that don't maintain a proper barrier, such as a leaky blood brain barrier causing brain fog, autism, or your 24/7 headache.
And, all these injuries are potentially cured by oxygen therapy, which stimulates stem cells to repair the damage. You and your readers should check him out at Covid Myth Buster on Substack.
