Vaccine for Inflammation in the Works

Story Highlights

  • Scientists are working on a vaccine for autoimmune, inflammation-induced mental health issues using soil-derived bacteria.
  • Vaccines have been implicated in increasing the risk for neuropsychiatric issues in children.
  • Vaccines and all other immune-system activators act by provoking an inflammatory response.

Christopher Lowry, PhD and a team of researchers from the University of Colorado at Boulder are working on a vaccine to prevent inflammation-induced mental illness.1 The scientists are working with Mycobacterium vaccae, bacteria found in soil that has demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties in animal subjects. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not yet approved human trials, but Dr. Lowry hopes to create a vaccine for inflammation-induced mental health issues.

A number of neuropsychiatric issues have been linked to vaccination. A pilot study by scientists from Yale University and Pennsylvania State University, for example, showed that children who had received a flu vaccine had an 80 percent higher risk of being diagnosed with an eating disorder within three months compared with non-vaccinated controls. The risk for a obsessive-compulsive disorder was 23 to 27 percent higher three to 12 months following vaccination.2

Vaccination Produces Inflammation by Its Nature

The idea of vaccinating against inflammation may meet with challenges, as vaccination depends on inducing an inflammatory reaction as its mechanism of action. As explained by nephrologist Suzanne Humphries, MD, “A vaccine by definition, causes repeated, chronic inflammation at set time intervals. Vaccines are designed to create peripheral inflammation…”3

The inflammatory response itself is crucial to any immune response, whether a natural trigger such as an infectious agent, an antigenic challenge, a physical stressor or vaccination. It is inflammation that signals the arrival of operatives of the immune system into the area of infection or damage, as indicated by the five “cardinal signs” of inflammation: redness, heat, pain, swelling, and loss of function.4

It is when the normal, healthy inflammatory response does not recede once the threat has been neutralized that inflammation may become chronic, resulting in any of over 100 potential autoimmune disorders including lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, Crohn’s disease and fibromyalgia to name just a few.5

Vaccination of patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) can be problematic. Typically, anti-inflammatory therapies not only blunt the inflammatory reaction necessary for a vaccine response but also increase the likelihood of patients developing infectious diseases.6 Some concern has also been expressed that vaccination itself could act as a trigger for autoimmune disorders.7

According to immunologist and diabetes researcher Barthelow Classen, MD, the inflammatory responses generated by repeated vaccinations can and do produce the chronic inflammation and immune system overload that can lead to some of the more prevalent autoimmune disorders seen in today’s children.8 He adds that most patients do not even realize that they are suffering from the adverse effects of vaccines. 

“Chronic inflammation is a serious health problem in the U.S. and around the world and all potential root causes should be fully investigated, including vaccination,” noted journalist Rishma Parpia in a 2016 article in The Vaccine Reaction.9

To propose that an inflammation-mediated mental illness (or any inflammation-based disorder) could be prevented with a vaccine designed to stimulate further inflammation is certainly an interesting concept that merits careful study.

  1. I have heard an awful lot of ridiculous, asinine, stupid, oxymoronic, unbelievable, mythical-status crap coming out of big Pharma in my life. This takes the cake. So they’re going to vaccinate against their vaccines? That’s the best thing they’ve ever said!! I can’t stop laughing.

  2. Why do those with power want to make easy, hard. Simply eat an anti-inflammatory diet, eliminate everything white which is most sugars/carbs.

  3. Sooooooo you are making a vaccine to put a band aid on one of the symptoms that the vaccines are creating but no doubt it will make the problem even worse. It just boggles the mind this stuff!

  4. Through The Teacher’s Lens ??
    They have too much research funds and too much busy time‼️
    Research in America is a black hole?where money disappears‼️
    Mismanagement of this and that of many other U.S. government agencies is a most burdensome weight on all of our shoulders‼️

  5. Let’s not overlook the fact that vaccines are suppose to prevent illness. They are proposing to use this “vaccine” as a TREATMENT (a drug). I knew this was coming. Ever wonder why/how there are so many “vaccines” in the pipeline? I’m certain they want to use them as treatment drugs, and since vaccines (biologics) do not require safety testing that drugs do, calling them vaccines by-passes the trouble and expense of proving they work before putting them on the market. Sneaky, and wrong.

  6. Shouldn’t these ‘scientists’ be made aware that bacteria is not virus, since the premise of vaccine functionality rests solely upon the mechanisms specific to virus. As a soil-residing bacteria, this bacteria should be in our gut, not injected into muscle. As this beneficial bacteria is found in soils that are healthy and alive, then food growing in those soils would bring those little guys into our systems via the digestive tract, where they can live happily in the intestines to produce 80 percent of our serotonin and other brain-supportive chemicals. But hey, all of the beneficial soil bacteria has been killed off in order ‘to feed (line) the world (big pockets).’ I’m with No Consent on this one; though not a medication per se due to the bacterial element, the precedent of established mandates for vaccines guarantees a precious return. Sneaky and wrong is right.

  7. Trust me Trump put kennedy in charge of exposing vaccines. Hes working on telling people to build immune ,not vaccines. Its all in due time
