Joseph Mercola, DO on the Decline of Mercury and Increase of Aluminum in Vaccines
Mercury (thimerosal) exposure has declined significantly since it was eliminated from the single-dose vials of most childhood vaccines, yet autism rates have continued to skyrocket. This has led many to assume that mercury isn’t a problem, and anyone questioning the safety of vaccines is considered to be a hysterical wingnut. However, while mercury use has […]
Barbara Loe Fisher on the Importance of Balanced Cellular and Humoral Immune System Responses
Humans and infectious microbes have coexisted for as long as humans have walked the earth, and the human immune system has developed an efficient way of dealing with viral and bacterial infections. When infected with a microorganism, the body’s first line of defense is for the cellular or ‘innate’ part of the immune system to mount an inflammatory response. This response then signals the humoral or ‘learned’ part of the immune system to produce anti-inflammatory chemicals and…
Michael Bennese, DC on the Misapplication of the Theory of Herd Immunity
The theory of herd immunity was a term applied to the general immunity to a pathogen in a population based on the acquired immunity to it by a high proportion of members over time. It was never intended to describe potential group immunity gained from vaccination. This distinction is important. Vaccination is not synonymous with immunization, although the terms are used interchangeably. Natural immunization from disease is a complex interactive process involving many bodily organs…
Russell Blaylock, MD on the Constant Activation of the Brain’s Immune System
The problem with our present vaccine policy is that so many vaccines are being given so close together and over such a long period that the brain’s immune system is constantly activated. This has been shown experimentally in numerous studies. This means that the brain will be exposed to large amounts of the excitotoxins as well as the immune cytokines over the same period. Studies on all of these disorders, even in autism, have shown high levels of immune cytokines and excitotoxins…
Joseph Mercola, DO on the Difference Between Natural Immunity and Vaccine-lnduced Immunity
[T]here’s a significant difference between natural immunity and vaccination immunity. When children are born, they develop natural immunity to hundreds, thousands, millions, and even trillions of microorganisms that they breathe in, eat, and touch through their skin. Their immune systems at the lining of their airways, at the lining of their intestines, and on their skin are actively protecting their body from the outside world. Those immune systems that are intricately and specifically…
Michelle Rowton, NP on Vaccine Injury to NICU Babies
I think what a lot of people don’t realize in a closed space like NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) is that they’ve decided that we need to vaccinate these babies on-time. Two months after they’re born… bam!—there it goes. This baby could be four months early and still supposed to be inside their mother, weighting three or four pounds and getting the same amount of vaccines as a 200 pound man. … I’ve sat in a room with our on-call staff of physicians and practitioners (when they say) ‘Oh wow, this is…
