Why
Vaccinations Can Be Hazardous to Your Health
A vaccine contains weakened
(“attenuated” is the term used in medical journals) forms of
disease pathogens. Modern vaccine
theory is based on the work of an English country doctor Dr. Edward Jenner (1749-1823). Dr. Jenner discovered that farmers who
were in daily contact with cattle would often develop cowpox, but hardly ever
contract smallpox, a scourge of
Modern medicine took the concept further by
isolating and attenuating disease micro-organisms and inoculating cultures of
avian, animal or human tissues, or chicken eggs, the most commonly used culture
medium for vaccines.
A problem with this method is that protein
molecules from the medium used to culture the vaccines contain proteins foreign
to the human body. If we eat animal
flesh or an egg, it is digested (broken down) into simpler amino acids before
entering the bloodstream. The
digestive process in most cases changes protein molecules so they don’t
trigger an immune reaction when we eat them. This is not the case for vaccines, since
they are injected undigested, directly into the bloodstream, where they then
circulate throughout the body.
When the body detects the presence of the
foreign proteins, an immune response is triggered. Killer cells (white blood cells or
phagocytes) are then sent out to consume the cells containing the foreign
proteins and protein fragments.
This process is nature’s way of protecting the body from being
overwhelmed by invading organisms and eventually succumbing to them.
If the body survives, it also produces
templates, called antibodies, which are reserved to protect the body from
future attacks of micro-organisms with similar genetic codes. This process is called the natural
immune response and creates natural immunity. Such natural immunity is created by
allowing the body to undergo a full-blown immune reaction to a disease.
According to vaccine theory, by exposing the
body to protein fragments from the disease organisms one is trying to develop
immunity to, the immune system is stimulated to create antibodies that will
protect one from a full-blown, natural immune reaction. In this way, the theory goes, one can enjoy immunity to disorders without having to
suffer from actually getting sick.
However, there are two main problems from trying to “trick”
our bodies in this way.
These problems are as follows:
1) Upon being vaccinated the body has protein
fragments of disease organisms floating around in the body. The protein fragments are attenuated or
weakened so they will stimulate a mild immune response. However, the body is not always
stimulated sufficiently to mount an adequately robust response to create
antibodies while also destroying the foreign protein fragments. The foreign protein fragments then get
absorbed into body cells. T-Cells,
sensing they are there, but unable to reach them directly, attack the body
cells that harbor them. This can
lead to auto-immune disorders, like multiple sclerosis, arthritis and cancer,
which are essentially degenerative disorders caused by
the body trying to destroy cells that contain the foreign protein
fragments. Getting vaccinated can
subject one to low-grade fevers that can persist throughout life due to the
immune system trying unsuccessfully over a long period of time to rid the body
of foreign protein fragments left behind from childhood vaccinations. Ultimately, the immune system is
weakened or destroyed by this prolonged battle and degenerative disorders whose
etiologies have baffled medical science can be the result.
2) Another hazard of vaccinations is the fact
that foreign proteins from the culture medium, though they are supposed to be
filtered out during vaccine manufacture, can remain in the vaccines. By injecting them the body is then
exposed to other foreign protein fragments that can also lodge themselves in
body tissues. The immune system is thereupon triggered in an attempt to
eliminate them. A low-grade and
chronic fever of unknown origin then occurs to assist their removal. However, again, this low-level response
often proves equally ineffective at resolving the problem initiated by the
injection of foreign proteins into the bloodstream. The protracted auto-immune response can result
in eventual debility and the appearance of many disorders that baffle modern
medical research to resolve.
The best way to avoid illness in general is to
eat right, get enough sleep, try not to worry or overwork, get enough fresh
air, sunshine and pure water to build and maintain a strong immune system. One should also fill one’s life
with loving relationships and enjoy a spiritual life based on love. Then when one is exposed to pathogenic
micro-organisms, the body’s strengthened immune system will protect from
developing life-threatening illnesses.
One may experience discomfort as the immune system rallies and defeats
the invaders, but it will soon pass, leaving a body that now has natural
immunity to that particular disease and is ready to successfully battle and
overcome any future mutation of the illness.
A big problem facing the world today is the
widespread prevalence of many people whose immune systems have been weakened
from unhealthful living habits, unhealthful living conditions, smog, pollution
of air, water and lack of sunshine, and even vaccinations, that were invented
to help protect one from disorders, but which in the case of persons with
weakened immune systems can actually add one more challenge that such people do
not need.
