Current childhood vaccine programs: An overview with emphasis on the Measles-

Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine and of its compromising of the mucosal immune system

Abstract

Both common observation and official statistics confirm that there have

been dramatic increases in chronic physical and mental illnesses in American

children, such as autism, asthma, and allergies since the introduction of the

MMR vaccine in 1978. Government health officials have denied a relationship with

vaccines, but U.S. Congressional hearings on vaccine safety (1999 to Dec. 2004)

revealed a total absence of vaccine safety tests that would meet current

scientific standards, so that it can be assumed that many vaccine reactions are

taking place unrecognized. Prior to the introduction of vaccines, the Th1

cellular immune system of the gastrointestinal and respiratory systems served as

the primary defense systems with the Th2 humoral immune system in the bone

marrow, serving a secondary role.

There is a school of thought that the " minor childhood diseases " of

earlier times, including measles, mumps, chicken pox, and rubella, which

involved the epithelial tissues of skin, respiratory, and/or gastrointestinal

tracts, served a necessary purpose in challenging, strengthening, and

establishing the dominance of Th1 cellular immune system during early childhood.

Current vaccines against these diseases, in contrast, being directed at

stimulating antibody production in the bone marrow, are bypassing the cellular

immune system and thereby tending to reverse the roles of the cellular and

humoral systems, with the former suffering from a lack of challenge. In

addition, the cellular immune system is being further compromised by the

powerfully immunosuppressive effects of the MMR vaccine. The time is overdue to

totally rethink and redirect our current childhood vaccine program.

Autism is 1 in 67 children today and it's impossible to have a genetic epidemic!
