Guest guest Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 here's all the " info " he gave me to look into. Iwould like some feed back on this..put it into light for me. make it make sense for me from the " non-vax " point of view. thanks! I don't know much about the body or how it works but here's the info the dr. gave me: FYI, THIS IS AN ACTUAL PRINTED PAPER THEY HAND OUT AT THE OFFICE TO ANYONE QUESTIONING VACCINES! " An infant's immune system is too weak for vaccines'?? (what paper says to do/say) *Take a moment early on and briefly descibe the power of the human immune system *The immune system has the capacity to respond to extremely large numbers of antigens; possibly 10 thousand or more * 2 billion CD4 T lymphocytes can be replenished daily *T and B lymphocytes are abundant in a " lock and key " ability to deal with antigens individually; therefore no " immune system overload " ** The Ocean Analogy** When an infant is in the mother's womb, they're in a sterile environment. When they enter the birth canal and are born, they're no longer in a sterile environment. Bacteria quickly begin to live on the baby's skin, their nose, their throat. The average person has trillions of bcteria living on the surface of their body. We are able to make an immune response to these bacteria. If we didn't, they would invade the bloodstream and cause death. Each bacterium has 2,000-6,000 proteins that our immune system is able to handle. If you consider all 14 vaccines given to children, it's probably 150 immunological components or proteins. That's literally just a drop in the ocean. -Dr A.
