Your Immune System, How It Works And How

Vaccines Damage It

"Chronic illnesses are now so common, having a sick child seems

to be the new normal.Children are supposed to be vibrant,
healthy, free of disease." - Janet Levatin MD, Pediatrician.

The Theory
Medical theory is that if your child is exposed to a weakened version of the disease, he will produce
antibodies to that disease and become immune, so that he will never contract the illness.
At first glance, this sounds like a solid principle, BUT it only focuses on one small aspect of the
immune system, the antibodies, and fails to look at all the other functions responsible for protecting
your childs health.
So, how does the immune system work?
The immune system is also made up of the skin, mucous membranes in the nose and throat, ears and
eyes, nasal hairs, saliva, the spleen, intestines, tonsils, the thymus gland and even the brain. All of these
parts work together in a holistic way to bring about a whole body immunity, which is only in part to do
with antibodies.
The skin acts as a barrier to prevent bacteria entering the body. It also filters out toxins through fever,
which is the purpose of a fever when your child is ill.
The nasal hairs prevent foreign particles from travelling up the nose, and the mucous membranes
excrete a substance which is anti-bacterial.
 Tonsils help prevent respiratory diseases and illnesses such as Polio, and saliva contains substances
which destroy and neutralise microbes.
The spleen and intestines, among other organs, deposit fats and vitamins around the body and protect
against viral and bacterial invasion.
The thymus gland produces thymus cells, known as T cells, which are antibodies to infection.
There are various glands (nodes) in the body that drain it of toxins and useless material. For instance,
the cervical nodes drain the head, neck and chest.
The pituitary gland in the brain directs all of the systems above, so if the brain goes wrong, so does
the immune system. It sends electrical impulses to all areas of the body, stimulating cell re-generation
and muscle growth. These electrical impulses also stimulate the thymus gland the centre of immune
function.
What effect does vaccination have on this immune function?
Vaccination the act of artificially acquiring a disease so as to become immune to it is flawed in a
number of ways. Firstly, a vaccine contains many hazardous chemicals and not just the viruses to
immunise against. These each have their own toxic affect on the body. Secondly, the route of entry is
different to a naturally occurring disease. Most natural diseases would enter through the mouth or the
nasal cavity, not the skin.
Vaccination breaks the skin with a needle and injects foreign matter into the blood supply.
This bypasses the skins role in immune function, as well as the tonsils, the mucous membranes, and so
on.
Normally, the body produces extra antibodies after being primed by the tonsils that there is impending
infection. Therefore, if the infection takes hold, there will be an army of white blood cells, ready to
neutralise the infection.
In the case of vaccination, this infection goes straight to the blood, with no prior build up for the body,
and there are no extra immune cells to deal with it.
Also, with vaccination there is more than one disease present (e.g. measles, mumps, rubella all in one),
whereas naturally a child would never contract 3 diseases at the same time. This puts additional strain
on the immune system.
What problems can this cause?
Injection of vaccine via this unnatural route can use up 70% of the immune systems resources, instead
of the usual 3 to 4% with a wild occurring disease (according to Cynthia Cournoyer, What About
Immunizations?, Dennis Nelson Publishers, 1991).
Because the body has no extra antibodies waiting to counter the vaccine, it can go into overdrive in an
attempt to deal with the situation, taking much needed vitamins away from bones and other organs, to
use for the production of more antibodies. This means that the other vital systems go short on vitamins,
in extreme cases leading to bone fractures caused by the immune response leaching vitamins to cope
with the vaccine. This lack of vitamins can also cause bruising and retinal bleeding and haemorrhaging,
which is why some vaccine damaged babies have been falsely labelled as shaken baby syndrome
cases. These type of vaccine injuries are similar to those caused by trauma.
The massive surge of antibodies created by the vaccine can also cause the body to become
hypersensitive and this is responsible for the increase in allergies and auto-immune diseases. Allergies
are an over-exposure to toxic elements which the body is unable to cleanse itself of.
If the adrenals, which include the pancreas, the pituitary gland and the spleen, become over-stimulated,
for instance, by vaccination, this can cause the body to become toxic and unable to regulate itself. This
has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, asthma and bronchitis, to name a few. Over-stimulating the
adrenals also causes a decrease in circulation of blood round the body, and atrophying of vascular
vessels.
It is in this state of dysfunction and chemical overload, from vaccines, pollution, junk food,
pharmaceutical drugs and so on, that our bodies become less able to stay healthy.
When the body is in its ideal state of harmony, there is no need for "immunity." In such a state of
harmony and balance, the thymus functions properly as the central regulator for the proper digestion of
elements and all that is taken into the body is digested and excreted. (Stonebridge Associated
Colleges, 2005).
In the time immediately following vaccination, when extra vitamins are being used up to fight the
vaccine, this may actually make the person more susceptible to the disease. For instance, in the Merck,
Sharp and Dohme LTD product information for HIB vaccine, it states: Cases of Haemophilus B
disease may occur in the weeks after vaccination, and in Lederle Hibtiter information sheet, Cases of
HIB disease, although rare, may occur after vaccination. This is known as PROVOCATION disease,
i.e. disease caused by vaccine.
Live vaccines are more likely to pass on the disease to their recipient or his close contacts, as the
viruses are excreted in urine, faeces and saliva for upto 3 weeks after each shot.
The polio vaccine was changed from the live oral vaccine to part of the injectable, killed 5 in 1,
because the only cases of polio in western countries were caused by the vaccine.
Vaccine caused diseases are often more severe than the naturally occurring disease. For instance,
ATYPICAL measles, only got by vaccinated children, is much more serious because the vaccine
suppresses the childs rash, which is his means of excreting the toxins, and this leads to the toxins being
pushed deeper into the body and affecting the major organs and sometimes the brain, as atypical
measles encephalitis.
Vaccine viruses can also attach themselves to cells, organs and brain tissue and cause cancers,
disabilities and brain injury, as in the case of a boy who became autistic and had a seizure disorder after
his MMR jab at 15 months. Great Ormand Street Childrens Hospital tested him at 13 years of age and
found remains of vaccine viruses in the injured parts of his brain. (The Sunday Express, 6 October
2002).
Antibodies to brain tissue have also been found in blood tests of autistic children.
Disease Mutations
Even with inactivated vaccines, it is possible for the killed virus or bacteria to mutate into a different
form of the disease. For instance, a 16 year old Canadian girl died of Meningitis B after her boyfriend
had been given the Meningitis C vaccine. Lab tests confirmed that the vaccine can mutate into B form
and infect both the recipient and his or her close contacts. (Pulse, doctors magazine, 20th November
1999).
Large numbers of chronic diseases have evolved in the place of infectious disease, since the
introduction of mass vaccination, including ME, Lupus, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, Autism (previously
known as Kanner Syndrome, discovered by Dr. Kanner in the 1940s), MS, Ebola virus, AIDS, Lichen
Planus, Vulvodynia and other hypersensitivity conditions, not to mention the rife and uncontrollable
rates of cancer, heart disease, asthma, eczema and other allergies. Even meningitis was extremely rare
before the 20th century. This increase in chronic disease may be because vaccination skews the
immune system towards an antibody (T helper cell 2 - TH2) response instead of the perfectly balanced
TH1/TH2 response that it was designed to be.

Skewed TH1/TH2 Response

Vaccinations induce antibodies by a T cell Helper 2 response. Antibodies are thought to protect the
individual from parasites, toxins and other 'outside' environmental exposures. This is known as the
humoral response.
TH2 is an anti-inflammatory, suppressive component of the immune system and is the dominant part of
the immune system that is at work during a mother's pregnancy. Although it makes antibodies, it
doesn't react with an inflammatory response that could potentially damage the developing fetus. The
neonates passive immunity is therefore TH2 based.
There is also a T helper 1 (TH1) response, known as the cellular response which helps to bring about
immunity within our cells to viruses, yeast, cancer by inducing an inflammatory response from the
cells. TH1 response stimulates skin reactions to diseases (inflammation, rashes etc) and
hypersensitivity reactions. We have both TH1 and TH2 to balance out our immune response so that we
can produce antibodies to infection without incuring too much inflammation and tissue damage.

The British Medical Journal wrote:

'Th1-type cytokines tend to produce the proinflammatory responses responsible for killing intracellular
parasites and for perpetuating autoimmune responses. Interferon gamma is the main Th1 cytokine.
Excessive proinflammatory responses can lead to uncontrolled tissue damage, so there needs to be a
mechanism to counteract this. The Th2-type cytokines include interleukins 4, 5, and 13, which are
associated with the promotion of IgE and eosinophilic responses in atopy, and also interleukin-10,
which has more of an anti-inflammatory response. In excess, Th2 responses will counteract the Th1
mediated microbicidal action. The optimal scenario would therefore seem to be that humans should
produce a well balanced Th1 and Th2 response, suited to the immune challenge.'

Put basically, we need a balanced amount of T cell 1 and 2 in order to have a healthily functioning
immune system.

What vaccination does is over-stimulate the TH2 immune system, which simultaneously suppresses
TH1. This causes vaccinated individuals to become hypersensitive to toxins, allergens and bacteria
while not responding to viruses, yeast and cancer. This is a large reason why we now have 1 in 3
people who get cancer and an epidemic of children with asthma, eczema, hayfever and food allergies.

BMJ also wrote:

'Many researchers regard allergy as a Th2 weighted imbalance, and recently immunologists have been
investigating ways to redirect allergic Th2 responses in favour of Th1 responses to try to reduce the
incidence of atopy.'

Their investigations involve developing more vaccines rather than just letting the immune system
function as mother nature designed it to.

This over-activation of TH2 gives us a hypersensitive immune system that over-reacts to bacteria,
toxins and environmental pollutants, increasing the likelihood of eczema, asthma, hayfever, RH
arthritis, MS, type 1 diabetes, food allergies and other inflammatory diseases. The down-regulation of
TH1 means that the immune system will under-respond to challenges in the cells, for instance, cancer
and yeast. In addition to crazy cancer levels, many people have chronic yeast problems such as
vulvodynia, intersital cystitis, recurrent candida infections, UTI's, gum infections and more.

Depression and anxiety have also been on the increase in recent decades and it isn't just because of
greater awareness. Recent discoveries have found that inflammation can trigger anxious and depressed
behaviours.
In 2008, researchers used BCG vaccine to induce anxious behaviour in rats. Brain, behaviour and
immunity wrote:

'Although cytokine-induced sickness behavior is now well-established, the mechanisms by which

chronic inflammation and depression are linked still remain elusive. Therefore this study aimed to
develop a suitable model to identify the neurobiological basis of depressive-like behavior induced by
chronic inflammation, independently of sickness behavior. We chose to measure the behavioral
consequences of chronic inoculation of mice with Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG), which has been
shown to chronically activate both lung and brain indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), a tryptophan-
catabolizing enzyme that mediates the occurrence of depressive-like behavior following acute innate
immune system activation. BCG inoculation induced an acute episode of sickness (approximately 5
days) that was followed by development of delayed depressive-like behaviors lasting over several
weeks. Transient body weight loss, reduction of motor activity and the febrile response to BCG were
dissociated temporarily from a sustained increase in the duration of immobility in both forced swim
and tail suspension tests, reduced voluntary wheel running and decreased preference for sucrose (a test
of anhedonia). Moreover, we show that a distinct pattern of cytokine production and IDO activation
parallels the transition from sickness to depression. Protracted depressive-like behavior, but not
sickness behavior, was associated with sustained increase in plasma interferon-gamma and TNF-alpha
concentrations and peripheral IDO activation. Together, these promising new data establish BCG
inoculation of mice as a reliable rodent model of chronic inflammation-induced depressive-like
behaviors that recapitulate many clinical observations and provide important clues about the
neurobiological basis through which cytokines may have an impact on affective behaviors.'

So if you have a family history of auto-immune disease, allergies or cancer and you have depression or
anxiety that isn't due to a stressful situation, you are probably chronically inflammed.
Vaccination doesn't strengthen the immune system, it skews it towards a TH2 response and this
imbalance causes disease.
We are killing ourselves in our quest to prevent childhood illness, as mother nature is stronger than
man, so tampering with immune function can have disastrous consequences for all.

Vaccines Cause Immune Suppression

Immunostimulation Versus Immunosuppression
after Multiple Vaccinations: the Woes of
Therapeutic Vaccine Development
Three articles in this issue of Clinical Cancer Research show how multiple vaccinations can lead to
immunosuppression. Moreover, two studies in patients show that granulocyte macrophage colony-
stimulating factor (GM-CSF) as an adjuvant immunostimulant to different kind of vaccines can lead to
adverse outcome in terms of relapse-free and overall survival. Modulation of regulatory T-cell activity
may be required to overcome this outcome and may be crucial for the successful development of
therapeutic vaccines.

Cancer Patients Injected With Cancer Vaccine

Caused 'Early Melanoma Deaths'
Ninety-seven patients with resected melanoma (stage II-IV) were enrolled, stratified by stage, and
randomized to receive a cellular melanoma vaccine with or without GM-CSF. The primary endpoint
was delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) response to melanoma cells. Antibody responses, peripheral
leukocyte counts, and survival were also examined.

Results: The GM-CSF arm showed enhanced antibody responses with an increase in IgM titer against
the TA90 antigen and increased TA90 immune complexes. This arm also had diminished antimelanoma
cell delayed-type hypersensitivity response. Peripheral blood leukocyte profiles showed increases in
eosinophils and basophils with decreased monocytes in the GM-CSF arm. These immune changes were
accompanied by an increase in early melanoma deaths and a trend toward worse survival with GM-
CSF.

Conclusion: These data suggest that GM-CSF is not helpful as an immune adjuvant in this dose and
schedule and raise concern that it may be harmful. Based on the discordant findings of an immune
endpoint and clinical outcome, the use of such surrogate endpoints in selecting treatments for further
evaluation must be done with a great deal of caution.

Partial CD4 Depletion Reduces Regulatory T

Cells Induced by Multiple Vaccinations
Results: Multiple vaccinations, rather than boosting the immune response, significantly reduced
therapeutic efficacy of adoptive immunotherapy and were associated with an increased frequency and
absolute number of CD3+CD4+Foxp3+ T regulatory (Treg) cells. Anti-CD4 administration reduced the
absolute number of Treg cells 9-fold. Effector T-cells generated from anti-CD4treated mice were
significantly (P < 0.0001) more therapeutic in adoptive transfer studies than T cells from multiply
vaccinated animals with a full complement of CD4+ cells.

Conclusion: These results suggest that CD4+ Treg cells limit the efficacy of multiple vaccinations and
that timed partial depletion of CD4+ T cells may reduce suppression and tip-the-balance in favor of
therapeutic antitumor immunity. The recent failure of large phase III cancer vaccine clinical trials,
wherein patients received multiple vaccines, underscores the potential clinical relevance of these
findings.

1 in 5 Americans Suffer From Allergies
If springtime breezes bring you sniffles, you can take comfort in the knowledge that you are not alone.

For reasons that researchers do not fully understand, allergies to pollen, dust, pet dander and food have
become more prevalent among Americans in recent decades. Today, one out of every five Americans
suffers from allergies, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.

We don't know why the incidence of allergies is on the rise, said Maya Jerath, M.D., Ph.D., an
assistant professor in the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine and director
of the UNC Allergy and Immunology Clinic.

Nor do researchers understand why an allergy develops in the first place. That has baffled people and
continues to baffle people in this field a lot, she said.

An allergy is an immune reaction to a harmless substance, such as a pollen grain or peanut protein.
Instead of ignoring the substance, the body produces antibodies to mount a fight against it. Allergy
symptoms can range from itchy eyes and sneezing to life-threatening anaphylactic reactions.

The causes of allergies remain elusive in part because the immune system's role is complex, Jerath said.
The system must defend the body from countless foreign invaders in food, water and the air around
you.

Significantly for allergy sufferers, the immune system must also learn to distinguish particles that are
dangerous from those that are not. For most people, this learning occurs during early childhood.

If it doesn't get adequate exposure to certain things, those regulatory mechanisms don't get set up,
Jerath said.

For that reason, some researchers believe that a lack of exposure to microorganisms early in life may
precondition a person to allergies. This explanation, called the hygiene hypothesis, suggests that
growing up surrounded by many other children, dirt or livestock helps the immune system develop a
tolerance to harmless irritants.

The spectrum of post-vaccination inflammatory

CNS demyelinating syndromes
A wide variety of inflammatory diseases temporally associated with the administration of various
vaccines, has been reported in the literature. A PubMed search from 1979 to 2013 revealed seventy one
(71) documented cases. The most commonly reported vaccinations that were associated with CNS
demyelinating diseases included influenza (21 cases), human papilloma virus (HPV) (9 cases), hepatitis
A or B (8 cases), rabies (5 cases), measles (5 cases), rubella (5 cases), yellow fever (3 cases), anthrax (2
cases), meningococcus (2 cases) and tetanus (2 cases). The vast majority of post-vaccination CNS
demyelinating syndromes, are related to influenza vaccination and this could be attributed to the high
percentage of the population that received the vaccine during the HI1N1 epidemia from 2009 to 2012.
Usually the symptoms of the CNS demyelinating syndrome appear few days following the
immunization (mean: 14.2 days) but there are cases where the clinical presentation was delayed (more
than 3 weeks or even up to 5 months post-vaccination) (approximately a third of all the reported cases).
In terms of the clinical presentation and the affected CNS areas, there is a great diversity among the
reported cases of post-vaccination acute demyelinating syndromes. Optic neuritis was the prominent
clinical presentation in 38 cases, multifocal disseminated demyelination in 30, myelitis in 24 and
encephalitis in 17. Interestingly in a rather high proportion of the patients (and especially following
influenza and human papiloma virus vaccination-HPV) the dominant localizations of demyelination
were the optic nerves and the myelon, presenting as optic neuritis and myelitis (with or without
additional manifestations of ADEM), reminiscent to neuromyelitic optica (or, more generally, the
NMO-spectrum of diseases). Seven patients suffered an NMO-like disease following HPV and we had
two similar cases in our Center. One patient with post-vaccination ADEM, subsequently developed
NMO.
Overal, the risk of a demyelinating CNS disease following vaccination, although non-negligible, is
relatively low. The risk of onset or relapse of CNS demyelination following infections against which
the vaccines are aimed to protect, is substantially higher and the benefits of vaccinations surpass the
potential risks of CNS inflammation. This does not in any way exempt us from learning the lessons
taught by the reported cases and searching new and safer ways to improve vaccination techniques and
increase their safety profile.

MODERN CHILDREN ARE SICKER THAN THEY WERE IN

THE 1940's AND 50's
"In 1947 I was a nursery nurse student working in a nursery for
little babies whose mothers needed to work as they were
illegitimate and so no fathers were getting a wage.

The babies were very well and very sweet. There were colds and
flu occasionally and scabies now and again.

There was NO asthma, eczema, epilepsy, hyperactivity, cardiac

disease or cot death. Cot death started in 1957 after DPT was
started.

You need to be in your 80's to remember what life was like.

Babies died of pneumonia because the houses were so cold but
NOT of the awful diseases they have now."

Autoimmune Tissue Scurvy Misdiagnosed as

Child Abuse
Abstract
Requests from distressed parents and relatives seeking help after having been falsely accused by
doctors of injuring their children are not uncommon. Viraland parasitic infections and vaccines cause
an autoimmune disorder, Tissue Scurvy, misdiagnosed as child abuse. This report presents the
evidence. Method. Relevant hospital and laboratory reports of three children were examined for
evidence of Tissue Scurvy as the cause of the neurological lesions, fractures, bruises and hemorrhages
found on them. Results. In all the cases in which appropriate histories and tests were done there was
evidence that the doctors either misinterpreted the laboratory evidence or they were unaware of the
significance of abnormal tests suggesting Tissue Scurvy as the cause. Conclusion. Some doctors are
unaware of the pathophysiological processes of autoimmunity, haemostasis and osteogenesis and are
misdiagnosing vaccine induced Tissue Scurvy, absence of Vitamin C within the cell, as Non-accidental
Injury.
