I was delighted when I found this article as like you I had had all these ideas about vaccines in the back of my mind for a while and Dr. Incao has described them perfectly. I am hoping better delivery systems for vaccines (such as in probiotic bacteria - as described in this [url=http://www.ei-resource.org/news/general-environmental-health-news/probiotics-may-offer-more-effective-and-less-painful-vaccinations/]article[/url]) will go some way to increasing the accuracy of the vaccination "shot gun". Ideally we need effective screening before vaccinations are given to avoid giving them to those susceptible to adverse reactions. RT - Vaccinations can potentially make us ill in a variety of ways. The doctor who wrote this article suspects they cause a shift in how the immune system works in some people that makes them more susceptible to allergies and chronic illnesses such as autoimmune disease, chronic fatigue syndrome and Gulf War syndrome. Some people also have allergic reactions to the vaccines themselves. This would cause symptoms to appear quickly after the shot. Other possible causes of illnesses after vaccinations include reactions to mercury preservatives (thimerosal) and other additives such as aluminium hydroxide although these are still vigourously debated. - Maff Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:39:17 +0100 http://www.ei-resource.org/articles/gulf-war-syndrome-articles/how-vaccinations-work/#comment-1018 hi how to vaccinations make us ill - rt Sat, 31 Oct 2009 13:36:22 +0100 http://www.ei-resource.org/articles/gulf-war-syndrome-articles/how-vaccinations-work/#comment-696 Once again maff, thanks for the link, I skimmed it the first time and I just finished reading it a second and it basically sums up most of my concerns about vaccines and the immune system. I pretty much have everything Dr. Incao says on a back burner in my brain and it is driving me crazy. I read a neuroimmunology article that was saying pretty much the same thing about increased Th2 and Th 1(Th2>>>Th1) activation in autistic children and little IL-10 compensation in comparison to control children. [u]Elevated cytokine levels in children with autism spectrum disorder[/u] Molloy et al. 2005 And they concluded: Children with ASD had increased activation of both Th2 and Th1 arms of the adaptive immune response, with a Th2 predominance, and without the compensatory increase in the regulatory cytokine IL-10. My son had atopic eczema when he was younger, likely caused by a Th2 response to food allergies or his environment. My youngest son who is too young to tell if he is autistic has atopic eczema as well(and hasn't been to his first vaccination), so I am scared to vaccinate him cause I consider him at high risk already having immune/allergy issues. My oldest(3rd) son had speech delays but never atopic eczema and he is not autistic. Honestly I and most sensible people don't think vaccines cause brain damage in healthy people, but there are subgroups of the population that are going to be environmentally susceptible, it can't be avoided. I have found several studies that indicate atopic eczema(Th2 immune response) to be very prevalent in autistic children. Honestly Dr. Incao said it so well, every single person is so incredibly unique in their genetic make up and vaccines are basically a shotgun with little accuracy or consideration for variability or susceptibility in the population. And then we wonder why swine flu is killing more children than adults. I just wonder how long we can ignore what we know and science is telling us, Until autism is 1 in 10 and variants of the rhinovirus begin to start killing people? - epigenitics Mon, 06 Jul 2009 01:06:21 +0100
