To vaccinate or not to vaccinate.

[Guest guest]

I agree with the thoughts with regard to gut flora. A newborn has to develop that

over a period of time...they are not born with all of it intact, which makes them

particularly vulnerable. Being born by C section (which is way too common)

also has an effect on their immunity, in a positive way.

And of course there is commercial baby formula, which I believe contributes

to the many ills of our children.Who's never won? Biggest Grammy Award surprises of all time on AOL Music.

This article completely contradicts the findings of the latest study on the

MMR vaccine ..it is part of my site but its been sidelined by the interview

with ..I'll need to relocate it .The article gives a credible

account of what's happening when a multiple vaccine is administered.

The reason why all children do not succumb to the insult of the triple

vaccine is down to how efficient and robust the individuals immune system is

..

Our gut flora drives the immune system and antibiotics have profoundly

affected the quality of our gut flora ..we acquire out gut flora through the

maternal line , so the effect of poor gut flora is compounded with each

generation, hence the exponential growth in the autistic condition [ 60 fold

increase since the 1970's]

On the upside once the medical profession stops giving us the medical

equivalent of the " Emperors new clothes " and recognises yeast infections as

the cause of much illness then we can begin to treat the autistic condition

realistically.. I do not talk from the top of my head ..i am a cured Yeast

and Lyme victim ...

To vaccinate or not to vaccinate.

This decision frequently confronts pet owners, veterinarians and human

patients alike.

Let's review the facts of older vaccine technology and take a look at

some refreshing and reassuring new concepts.

A vaccine is a preparation of an altered form of a pathogen - virus,

bacteria, etc. - administered to a patient with the intention of inducing

that patient to produce his or her own protective antibodies against that

particular organism. The pathogen is altered in one of several ways so it

induces the immune response but does not produce the disease in the patient.

For decades, the trend was " more is better. " Vaccine combinations often

contained six or more disease pathogens.

If there was a disease out there, the pharmaceutical industry would

respond by creating a vaccine for it. They even created a vaccine for which

they had to invent the disease!

Vaccines were given indiscriminately, and boosters were given every year

simply because the manufacturer found it unprofitable to document longer

duration of immunity.

Vaccines, like all medicines, have inherent potential side effects,

especially the older ones. They are a stress on the patient's immune system,

demanding it gear up and perform some work.

In some instances, they can cause transient immunosuppression or

autoimmunity - confused antibodies that can't differentiate invader from

" self. " Sometimes additives to the vaccine called adjuvant are responsible

for adverse reactions.

Well, within the last decade, two trends converged on the " more is

better " philosophy - consumer awareness and improved technology. Consumers -

patients, owners, veterinarians - are more skeptical of indiscriminate

vaccination and have become more selective. This " less is better " trend

includes carefully selecting only appropriate vaccines for the patient and

minimizing boosters.

Currently, our veterinary associations advocate a core of essential

vaccines for each species, and all others are optional, catered to the

individual's exposure potential.

The pharmaceutical firms who manufacture the vaccines also are

cooperating. They are advancing developmental technology to minimize or, in

some cases, eliminate potential side effects and performing the necessary

studies to extend and document duration of immunity, thus reducing booster

frequency.

A brief history of vaccine evolution makes one appreciate this new

technology.

The oldest, rudest and crudest vaccine is the killed type. Here the

whole, entire pathogenic organism is killed so it cannot cause the disease.

It then is thrown into a blender with a little seasoning, put into a vial,

and there you have it - the most primitive vaccine.

Injected into the patient, this presents a massive, random antigenic

challenge. Most of these antigens are not even required for the induction of

immunity. Typically, only one or a few specific outer surface protein

antigens are responsible for immune stimulation. All excessive and

unnecessary antigens simply increase the likelihood of adverse reactions.

Killed vaccine is also by definition only a weak stimulant to the immune

system. An additive called adjuvant must be included to intensify the immune

response. Adjuvant is notorious for causing side effects.

Modified live virus vaccines evolved next as an alternative to killed.

Here the pathogen is modified by multiple passages through tissue culture.

It is still live virus, but has been attenuated so it is no longer capable

of causing the disease.

Advantages are it is more potent, requiring no adjuvant. Reversion to the

virulent state via mutation is possible, however. Thus, some viruses are not

suitable for this process, such as rabies and feline leukemia.

MLV vaccines also present way more antigen to the patient than is

necessary.

Thus, the clever evolution of the newest, latest and greatest DNA

recombinant - r-DNA - viral vectored technology. It's not really quite as

complicated as it sounds.

Let's use feline leukemia virus as an example. Researchers have

determined there are only two specific viral proteins required to induce

immunity in the cat. Inclusion of all the other leukemia virus proteins in

the vaccine is unnecessary.

The leukemia virus' DNA for these two antigens is incorporated by genetic

splicing into the DNA of a non-pathogenic virus. In this case, the canary

pox virus is used because it cannot replicate nor cause disease in mammals.

This DNA-altered, live pox virus is then injected into the cat, carries the

leukemia virus DNA into the cat's lymphocytes and induces antibody

production to protect against feline leukemia virus.

The irony here is Tweety Bird unknowingly steps forward to rescue

Sylvester!

This technology provides many advantages. There is no potential for

reversion to virulence because no whole leukemia virus is included. There is

no adjuvant additive. There is minimal antigenic challenge - only those

proteins necessary for immune stimulation are included and only one-fourth

the volume of previous vaccines is required.

This causes less stress on the immune system and less likelihood for

autoimmune or other adverse reactions.

To date, r-DNA canary pox virus vectored vaccine technology is available

for feline leukemia, rabies, canine distemper, corona and parvovirus and

borrelia (lyme disease.) It is also used in equine influenza and West Nile

vaccine. It is currently being studied in developing an HIV-1 vaccine.

Vaccine technology has made giant strides and is helping to relieve the

anxiety of choosing whether to vaccinate. Safety and efficacy have been

maximized, and adverse effects minimized.

Discuss the options with your veterinarian. An appropriately

individualized vaccine protocol can be outlined for your pet's specific

needs.

The MMR comment

Hello , I see today the medical profession today are indulging in a

little

self deception . They announce that there is no link with the MMR jab

and

autism . They base their statement on the fact that the immune system

does

not produce a reaction in the form of producing antibodies in

response to

the vaccine ...they have missed the point , the immune system is

damaged by

the vaccine, it basically collapses allowing pathogens to grow ..more

evidence on this is coming on stream from animal medicine where it's

becoming increasingly evident that animal vaccines cause unexpected

illness

..see my site for more on this ..

I am also interested in this issue. I recently learned that some

antibiotics are mycotoxins made from mold. I also discovered that a

certain percentage of the population cannot filter these toxins. I am

one of that population and am trying to get well after mold exposure.

Throughout our lives they give us antibiotics. These mycotoxins

accumulate in those of us who have this marker. If you are also

exposed to toxic mold you become very sick. The toxins just continue

to float around never leaving our body.

Recently my daughter started having some of the same symtoms and I

was able to recognize them. I took her to an allergist and he tested

for mold allergies. She was allergic to almost every mold they

tested for and my biotoxin savvy doctor told me she is being

exposed.

The doctor wanted to treat her with shots for mold which I

respectfully declined.

The thing that is shocking is that they don't have a clue about these

markers. If my daughter has this marker as I have she should not

have any mycotoxins at all. The sad thing is mycotoxin exposure

through these allergy shots for mold is not on their radar, never has

been and is not even being looked at. I have alerted a national

expert and I believe she will make sure that it gets investigated.

Thanks for the post. I'm glad you're better from Lyme and Canadida.

I am also getting better.

Sharon
