Authentic resistance has two meanings. The first reminds us that the human body has an innate ability to heal itself called the immune system which is highly developed and far more intricate than any medical doctor would have us believe.
The key to unlocking a new born babies immune system is via human breast milk and the design is to achieve this process slowly over a number of months.
When any person, young or old is in a state of “dis-ease” due to bacteria, viruses or stress, their immune system has been designed to authentically resist the invaders which it does every day – hour by hour.
The second meaning reminds each person that alongside the right to informed choice they have the right to informed refusal to any medical procedure that they deem unwise or unsafe for themselves or their dependants.
Participants can learn how to authentically resist any pressure or coercion that is perceived by them to contravene the Health and Disability Commissioner Act 1994.
Participants of the course are given the tools and resources to easily access evidence based research from scientists and medical doctors so they can feel confident in their health choice.
Who are we?
Erin Hudson and Sheena Roberts from Authentic Resistance
Erin Hudson has worked within the health sector for over 30 years, as a nurse, a naturopath, and a childbirth educator. She currently holds the position of Senior lecturer at the South Pacific College of Natural Medicine.
Her interest in informed consent was ignited during the years where she was contracted as a consumer representative for the Midwifery Review process.
Erin believes that parents must keep the right to decide whether to vaccinate their families or not and it should be based on information from the medical literature available. To vaccinate for the “greater good” in her opinion is not a good enough reason.
Together with Sheena Roberts, she offers seminars and workshops for families who are struggling to find credible research around the topic of vaccination and natural immunity.
These workshops incorporate how to managing childhood illnesses with natural medicine and Informed Consent is fundamental to this paradigm.
Sheena Roberts worked as an authorised vaccinator for 10 years. During this time she became intrigued and subsequently passionate about informed consent, or more concerning, the lack of understanding or emphasis on informed consent.
She has worked for 30 years in the healthcare sector, primarily as a registered nurse and for 20 years as a childbirth educator. During this time Sheena has raised 4 children essentially within the medical model of care.
Sheena co-facilitates with Erin Hudson a number of workshops and courses related to maternal and child health. Sheena also teaches independent holistic antenatal classes in central Auckland. When time allows, Sheena also teaches movement exploration classes.
