Vaccines & Immune Problems: Mercola

Vaccines and Immune Suppression Dr. ph 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.

9) 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.
