Vaccines and Immune
Suppression
By Dr. Mercola
Vaccines, all vaccines, are immune suppressing; that
is they depress our immune functions. The chemicals
in the vaccines depress our immune system; the virus
present depresses immune function, and the foreign
DNA/RNA from animal tissues depresses immunity.
Toraldo, et al found that the chemotaxis and
metabolic function of PMNs (polymorphonuclear
neutrophils) was significantly reduced after
vaccinations were given and did not return to normal
for months. Other indicators of immune system
depression included reduced lymphocyte viability,
neutrophil hyper-segmentation, and a reduced white
cell count. All vaccines are immune depressing to
some extent and that is the trade-off we are risking.
The medical thought is that we trade a small immune
depression for an immunity to one disease. Now let me
repeat, we are trading a total immune system
depression (our only defense against all known
disease - including millions of pathogens) for a
temporary immunity against one disease, usually an
innocuous childhood disease. Therefore, the trade is
not at all fair. Mullins puts it this way, "Are we
trading mumps and measles for cancer and AIDS."
The trade-off is not worth the risk. We are risking
getting many more diseases than we are "preventing"
from getting. [Later we will see that there is
literally no prevention.] Another good example is the
ritual of the yearly flu shot. There may be only two
or three varieties of flu viruses in each shot, hence
the names "Asian-Flu", "Japanese-Flu" "Indian-Flu" or
"Swine-Flu". But there are literally thousands, may
be millions of flu-causing viruses. Taking one or two
does not make sense and many people report getting
the flu after taking a flu shot. We do not know which
variety of flu will affect us each year and in each
locale. Therefore, the best method to avoid the flu
is to strengthen our immune system by eating properly
and getting all the essential vitamins and minerals
that our body needs. Only nutrition can build and
support a strong immune system, while vaccines help
to tear our immunity down. Vaccines have been linked
to AIDS and other immuno-deficient disorders as
well.
Vaccinations depress our body's immune functions and
that keeps us open to developing many other diseases.
It is very childish to think that we are going to
take one flu vaccine and never get sick from the many
varieties of flu that exist, especially since viruses
can mutate so fast when the conditions arise. Keeping
up with these fast mutating viruses can only be done
by priming our immune system with good nutrition and
keeping the conditions/environment for their growth
minimal. In other words, pathogenic viruses will not
grow where the conditions will not allow it. It is
the terrain which dictates our health and not the
germs/viruses themselves. Germs are pleiomorphic,
meaning that they can change with their environment;
rods become cocci, and vice-versa. Thinking that
germs cause disease means that we are not responsible
for our own health and we place that responsibility
in the hands of some one who has the means to kill
these germs with toxic chemicals (drugs), even if
those drugs/vaccines harm our body. Vaccines prevent
health! Vaccinations reduce our immunity in many
important ways:
1) Vaccines contain many chemicals and heavy metals,
like mercury and aluminum, which are in-themselves
immuno-suppressing. Mercury actually causes changes
in the lymphocyte activity and decreases lymphocyte
viability.
2) Vaccines contain foreign tissues and foreign
DNA/RNA which act to suppress the immune system via
graft-vs-host rejection phenomena.
3) Vaccines alter our t-cell helper/suppressor ratios
... just like those seen with AIDS. This ratio is a
key indicator of a proper functioning immune
system.
4) Vaccines alter the metabolic activity of PMNs and
reduce their chemotaxic abilities. PMNs are our
body's defenses against pathogenic bacteria and
viruses.
5) Vaccines suppress our immunity merely buy
over-taxing our immune system with foreign material,
heavy metals, pathogens and viruses. The heavy metals
slow down our immune system, while the viruses set up
shop to grow and divide. It is like being chained and
handcuffed before swimming.
6) Vaccines clog our lymphatic system and lymph nodes
with large protein molecules which have not been
adequately broken down by our digestive processes,
since vaccines by pass digestion with injections.
This is why vaccines are linked to allergies, because
they contain large proteins which as circulating
immune complexes (CICs) or "klinkers" which cause our
body to become allergic.
7) Vaccines deplete our body of vital
immune-enhancing nutrients, like vitamin C, A and
zinc, which are needed for a strong immune system. It
is nutrients like these that primes our immune
system, feeds the white blood cells and macrophages
and allows them to function optimally.
8) Vaccines are neurotoxic and slow the level of
nervous transmission, and communications to the brain
and other tissues. Now we know that some lymphocytes
communicate directly with the brain through a complex
set of neurotransmitters. Altering these factors will
also depress our immunity.
4) Links of Vaccines to AIDS -
While the medical profession does not lightly discuss
AIDS and vaccines in the same sentence, there is much
evidence linking AIDS to vaccines. Buttram and
Hoffman state, "Indirect immunofluorescence
evaluation of T-lymphocytes from blood samples taken
... after vaccination revealed a temporary drop ...
in the helper/suppressor ratio after vaccination."
What that means is that immediately after vaccines
are given our blood "looks" like the blood of and
AIDS patient. AIDS is diagnosed when the T -cell
(helper to suppressor) ratios are depressed and
vaccines cause that same occurrence. Now is it any
coincidence that the countries where AIDS is rampant
most, are the same countries which received the most
vaccinations? It is no joke when one asks, "Are we
trading mumps and measles for cancer and AIDS?"
When we look into vaccine production we see the links
of vaccines to monkey viruses, like SV-40, which
causes immuno-deficiencies (similar to AIDS) in
monkeys. Some scientists feel that SIV and HIV are
very similar viruses and may be one in the same. If
it is found in monkeys it is called SIV and if it is
found in people it is then called HIV. Very likely,
it is the foreign nature of SIV which makes it deadly
to our immune system and our immune system goes on
the blink. Vaccinations and AIDS are clearly related,
and the medical literature shows us many links to
AIDS. The first Hepatitis vaccines made were
notorious for causing AIDS and were made from the
blood of the gay populations, who had high levels of
hepatitis and AIDS. Links of AIDS to the hepatitis
vaccines were numerous in the medical literature at
the time (the 1970s) of the first hepatitis vaccines
and people were afraid to take them for that reason.
Yes, one may fear hepatitis, but we also had a
greater fear of AIDS, which was more deadly and
serious a condition, although many more people
experienced hepatitis each year.
Many other views of how vaccines started the AIDS
epidemic are available, but none can be proven with
any degree of certainty. Whether HIV is a disease
similar to the SIV found in monkey, remains to be
seen. Is SIV and HIV the same virus? Is SV-40
involved in immuno-suppression and immunodeficiency?
There were reports of the smallpox vaccines delivered
to Haiti, Brazil and Africa containing HIV by the
London Times in 1987. Some persons have taken
conspiratorial views of AIDS, but none have surfaced
with any degree of veracity and it misses the point
... all vaccines are immuno-suppressive and
compromise the host's immunity. Whether they contain
actual HIV viruses may be disputable, they will
depress the immune system. Today more care is taken
in vaccine production and there are better methods of
locating and removing contaminant viruses, but
vaccines are still dangerous from their humble
beginning and set the stage for many other diseases
to follow suit many years later.5) True Immunity:
Where Does it Come From? Nutrition!
Science has glossed over the most valuable point of
health, ... nutrition. What is it that boosts our
immune system and gives one a vibrant healthy life?
... nutrition. What is it that allows one to over
-come the most devastating diseases known to mankind?
... Nutrition. What is the key factor for the
recovery of disease? ... Nutrition. What is needed
for the body to heal itself? ... Nutrition. What key
factor prevents disease? ... Nutrition. What is
missing from allopathic medicine today? ...
Nutrition! It is nutrition and only nutrition which
boosts our immune system and helps the body defend
itself from foreign pathogens. Herbs, foods,
nutrients and vitamin supplements are the
tour-de-force of our immunity and it is virtually
ignored by medical science in favor of drugs
(chemicals).
One can speculate many reasons why medical science
has chosen to ignore this most important aspect of
our health ... perhaps, because there is no profit in
broccoli and carrots. But regardless of profit there
is a side of science that altruistically searches for
truth. Herbalists and naturopaths for centuries have
cured devastating diseases with nature's remedies and
proper diet. Medicine has shunned diet and nutrition
(and herbs) as not having a place in scientific
medicine. But the lowly herb can cure more than an
equal share of allopathic man-made (synthetic) drugs
which although originally came from many herbs are
now toxic according to their dose and must be tightly
regulated.
The divergent paths of allopathic medicine and herbal
naturopathic remedies is seen in the philosophy of
vaccination. Vaccines are the only way modern
medicine has to "prevent" disease for they don't
believe in or use herbs or nutrition. Therefore,
toxic vaccines are their only tool to "promote
health". Herbalists and naturopaths, on the other
hand, see the person with a totally different point
of view and understanding. The person is taught how
to live with nature, how to eat naturally and how to
not create the environment for pathogens to grow.
When the body is periodically cleansed, disease is
not a problem. Allopathy desires to force health by
giving the body more toxins (vaccines) to deal with
in a futile and erroneous attempt at "preventing"
disease. Yet, vaccines cause illnesses, many
diseases, numerous disorders and set the stage for
cancerous grow while depressing our body's ability to
fight off pathogens. Allopathy depresses important
body functions, while making the body more toxic.
Naturopathy helps the body eliminate toxins while
supporting the body's immune functions.
Therefore, there are many points in which allopathic
medicine and naturopathic medicine diverge and
differ. Yet, the laws of our land only allow
allopathic methods (vaccinations) of disease
"prevention" and not other more effective and less
damaging methods of prevention, i.e., homeopathy and
naturopathy. Many religions refuse vaccines on
religious grounds, because vaccines are contrary to
their beliefs and vaccines are blood products grown
on aborted fetuses and human and animal tissues.
Vaccines grown on animal tissues, aborted fetuses,
and cancer cells would be against anyone's fair
judgement and common sense, regardless of religious
beliefs. Therefore, it is common sense which mandates
our opinions against putrid vaccines, as well as
religious beliefs.
It is no secret anymore that proper nutrition builds
good immunity, when the medical literature is full of
studies on the intimate details of our immunity as
related to nutrients. The fact that nutrition plays a
large role in one's health (and immune functions) can
no longer be suppressed by prejudice. The
over-whelming science today substantiates nutrition
as a key factor in our health. Nutrition boosts our
immune system like nothing else can. Field stated,
"it is accepted that nutrition is important in the
development and function of the immune system."
Harbige noted that "Nutrition and nutritional status
can have profound effects on immune functions,
resistance to infection and auto-immunity in man and
other animals." Scrimshaw and SanGiovanni state that
"infections, ... have adverse effects on nutritional
status. ... Conversely, almost any nutrient
deficiency, if sufficiently severe, will impair
resistance to infection." Chandra (Am J Clin
Nutrition, 1997; 66(2):460s-463s) also noted,
"Nutrition is a critical determinant of immune
responses and malnutrition is the most common cause
of immunodeficiency worldwide." Chandra and Chandra
(Prog Food Nutrition Sci, 1986;10(1-2):1-65) stated
that "the immune system plays a key role in the
body's ability to fight infection and reduce the risk
of developing tumors, autoimmune and degenerative
disease."
Yet, although this information is new to us now, it
is not new to everyone. Many people have always
maintained that a strong immune system began with
good nutrition. Roger Williams, Linus Pauling, Ewan
Cameron, Adelle Davis, John R Christopher, Jethro
Kloss, and many other notable nutritionist have
claimed nutrition was important to our health for
many years, but were ignored. Profit of man-made
chemicals came before the health of the patrons, many
asked to suffer needlessly in the name of science
when they could have been cured by a simple herbal
remedy or a food. Nutrition has been down-played in
the last 80 years in favor of patent-able drugs
(man-made chemicals). Perhaps, the penicillin era was
the greatest cause of the downfall of nutrition as a
part of our health. The search for the magic bullet
began with Paul Erlich's compound 606, and continues
to this day. We think that cancer must be cured from
without by a man-made chemical, while we ignore the
inner terrain and the body's natural innate abilities
(to heal) within ... governed, of course, by
nutrition. Hopefully within the next decade great
strides will be taken in nutrition and health to make
up for lost time. Many physicians are learning
nutrition and herbology and homeopathy on their own
time. Their patients will be the better for it. As
more nutritional oriented physicians become
available, the people will have a choice and a place
to turn to when in need. Nutrition Produces Health
and Vitality! Vaccines Prevent Health! 6) Vaccines
and Cancer -
"I never saw cancer in an un-vaccinated person."
Dr W B Clarke, circa 1909
We don't usually associate vaccinations with cancer,
but there are many citations in the medial literature
where vaccines caused cancers. Sometimes cancer
occurred at the site of injection and sometimes a
lymphatic type of cancer would occur many years later
in locations. Vaccines cause cancer. Yes, not
everybody gets cancer after receiving a vaccine, but
their body has been seeded with the ingredients for
cancer to grow. Picture cancer as a window of
opportunity. Once that window is opened, cancer can
grow. Dr Vincent's work with Biologic Terrain
Assessment (BTA) found that all children were pushed
into the cancer "window" after vaccines were given.
Now those children who don't develop cancer were
(obviously) able to negate that cancer "window" with
good nutrition. It is the environment which allows
cancer to grow in the first place, and vaccines
create that environment. When the cancer is at the
site of the vaccine injection, it is hard to deny a
causal relationship. Miraculously, doctors tell their
patients it is co-incidental or unrelated to the
vaccines.
Yet, it was known in the 1800s that vaccines clog our
lymphatics and contain toxic materials which could
lead to disease, even cancers. Even Jenner himself
had trouble with his vaccines causing diseases, and
death. He was nearly lynched in one town for his
specious concoctions. Our lymphatic system is
designed to carry our lymphocytes throughout our body
and maintain control over our cellular immunity.
Therefore, the injection of large molecular sized
proteins (foreign tissues in the vaccines) will clog
our lymph-nodes and create problems for the lymphatic
system. Therefore, it is no mystery that vaccines and
lymphatic diseases, like leukemias and lymphomas, are
related.
"Syphilis, phthisis, scrofula, cancer, erysipelas and
almost all diseases of the skin, have been conveyed,
occasioned, or intensified by vaccination." Dr
William Hitchman
"Cancer and other vile diseases are daily inflicted
on virtuous families by vaccination."
Dr Edward Haughton, BAMD, MRCS
"Experts say 98 million Americans who took polio
shots in the 1950s and 1960s may get a deadly brain
cancer from the inoculations ... Researchers at the
University of Chicago Medical Center say that a virus
contaminated the polio vaccine and they have now
found genetic material from the virus in a number of
brain cancer victims."
Dr Jacob Rachlin quoted from Weekly World News of
Lantana [FL]
Of course, anything which depresses our immunity will
eventually lead to cancer, since it is our immune
system which cleanses and eliminates mutated
(cancerous) cells from our body daily. If this is not
done, cancers will grow and develop unchecked by our
immune system. Therefore, a healthy immune system is
needed to protect us from cancer and Vaccines Prevent
Health.
Vaccines and Auto-Immune Disease - [The injection of
foreign animal DNA/RNA.]
Auto-immune disease is common-place today, but were
very rare just a few years ago. Does anybody wonder
why one day we are healthy and the next day our body
no longer recognizes our own cells as self? Could the
injection of foreign animal DNA/RNA have anything to
do with our epidemic rise in auto-immune disease
today? Bart Classen, MD has done some remarkable
research on vaccines and auto-immune diseases,
especially Diabetes mellitus, which he sees as a
marker disease for all auto-immune conditions. His
research finds that the more that vaccinations are
given the more diabetes (and auto-immune diseases)
appears. Dr Classen's research found that this held
true for many animal models; after receiving vaccines
they experienced increases in diabetes. Then he
carried his research to include vaccinated human
populations. He found that in retrospective studies
of vaccinations in five different human populations,
this fact held true also. The more vaccines one
received the more was their incidence of diabetes
(and auto-immune diseases).
Now it is interesting that the increases in diabetes
included Juvenile-onset diabetes, which we are told
today is a profoundly "genetic" disease. Yet, Dr
Claussen's studies revealed that vaccinations [any
vaccination] can cause increases in Juvenile-onset
diabetes, too. Now one theory said that the antigenic
structure of the measles/mumps virus was similar to
the antigenic structure of the beta cells (which
produce insulin) in the pancreas. So when our body
makes antibodies to fight off measles virus, those
antibodies attack the pancreatic beta cells, too.
Viola diabetes!
Vaccines create the foundations for auto-immune
disease when foreign animal tissues are injected into
our blood streams. It alters our genes ("jumping"
genes) and creates havoc in our lymphatic system.
Auto-immune conditions are more common today than
before massive vaccination programs began in the
1940s. Auto-immune conditions such as ALS, MS, RA,
and Diabetes are severe diseases and not to be taken
lightly. They alter people's lives for ever and cost
more than money when we consider the time involved,
the stress involved, and eventually death ensues.
There is even some speculation that auto-immune
conditions may be behind the brain conditions they
see in autism and there is some talk in the medical
literature of auto-immunity to brain cells. If the
body can not even recognize its own cells, then it
has been tricked into thinking that those cells are
no longer self. Why does this occur? Could AIDS be an
auto-immune condition where the lymphocytes are
reacting against each other? What about the myriad of
neurological disorders, kidney disorders, blood
disorders and the many diseases associated with
vaccinations? When we are looking for excellent
health, we need to avoid auto-immune disorders. One
must remember that Vaccines Prevent Health!
[Note: Dr Classen feels that Diabetes is an indicator
(marker) disease for auto-immunity.
