Addressing the Vaccine Dilemma




While doing your research on vaccinations, keep the above questions in mind.



THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW:



The immune system is an individual's mechanism for recognizing and responding to a pathogen. Our immune system is something we have evolved over millions of years. People who are alive today have evolved to fend off most of the pathogens we are exposed to.



THE IMMUNE SYSTEM



The immune system is complex and made up of many components that work together to protect us from any harmful microorganisms that can get into our bodies to infect us and make us sick.



SKIN Component:
SKIN (impermeable), mucus membranes (semi-permeable): we need them to absorb food and oxygen from our environment to live, and excrete wastes.



CELL-MEDIATED Component:
CELL MEDIATED system involving INFLAMMATION and SPECIALIZED BLOOD CELLS. This involves chemicals that cause inflammation (definition, redness, pain - local or systemic - fever, malaise,



Why fevers are seen as bad:
Some fevers if left too long and too high, can cause potential complications. Homeopathy helps the body move through and recover from the fever faster, with less complications and suffering. It is supportive, not suppressive.



HUMORAL Component:
HUMORAL system which is the antibody production. While the body is fighting off the germs, another part of the immune system is making antibodies to the specific germs that have invaded. These antibodies circulate in the blood long after the germs are killed off and eaten. Their job is to recognize these same germs if they ever show up again and stick to their surface when they do. The humoral system is the only part of your immune system that a vaccine affects.



How do Conventional Vaccines Work?



Vaccines are injected in modified form to avoid causing a fever the immune system's natural response (fever/inflammation). There is no involvement of the cell mediated system. You don't get sick. The viruses are not disposed of in the way that your immune system is naturally designed to do. You may have viruses migrating to the susceptible tissues. This may be correlated to an increase in the potential for chronic diseases including autoimmune diseases. When an infection that we haven't been vaccinated for comes along, the compromised immune system may be challenged to fight it off properly.



Many people who have been vaccinated end up catching a various strain of the disease anyway, and it may present in an altered form that is harder to recognize and treat. There is a potential to experience a more severe with complications such as what has been know as "Masked Whooping Cough" for example.



CHILDREN
Development of the immune system: Developmental stages



Newborns are not able to form antibodies specific to different diseases. They get these from mother through colostrum (mother's milk secreted with antibodies and high protein content). The colostrum lasts 1 to 5years. During these growth stages, they can mount inflammation process including fevers and discharges. The ability to form antibodies to specific diseases happens from after first 12months up to age 5. The immune system development is fully mature by age 6.



What is Suppression?
A generalized reaction to attempt to rid the body of a viral pathogen is usually fever or runny nose. The body will attempt to isolate the pathogen in one spot in order to deal with it, normally the middle ear. If you give antibiotics, the child appears better for a short time. The fever is suppressed and the body is not able to completely get rid of the virus. When suppression wears off, the body tries again which results in another cycle of fever, ear infection etc... and the cycle begins again.



Are all vaccines safe for all individuals?



Just like one person can eat peanuts, and another one can die from eating them; People have allergies to all sorts of things: house dust, pollens, pet dander, different foods. People can also be sensitive to the different substances that are found in the vaccines that are used as preservatives and stabilizers. This includes formaldehyde, mercury, and aluminum.



What happens?



Viruses can make proteins that stick on the outside of our cell membranes that makes the body see its own cells as foreign invaders, so it attacks them. The body sees its own cells as foreign and attacks those tissues. This can happen in the joints, nerves, connective tissues and intestinal linings. This is shown in the experience of Rhuematoid Arthritis, Multiple Schlerosis, Sclreoderma, Celiacs and Crohn's Diseases.



Learning from Mistakes?



Hospitals in Japan started vaccinating in the delivery room. After 37 infant deaths, the Japanese government raised the DPT (diptheria, perussis, tetanus) age from 3 months to 24 months and stopped the delivery room vaccinations. The results were that SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) disappeared. Other deaths and complications fell dramatically, too.



HomeoImmunePro (HIP)



A 15 year study to assess the safety and efficacy was done for this protocol by Dr. Isaac Golden with the Australia University. The protocol was designed to target the infectious diseases that are appropriate in this era according to what is most of concern for parents (the infectious diseases that are commonly found and dangerous for children). This study's statistics showed that the protocol is 90.4% effective.



For the Homeopathic Immunization Protocol a Homeopathic Remedy is administered in the patients mouth (oral dose). It comes in either a liquid, water based form or a pellet/tablet form. These are put into the mouth to be touched by the blood vessels in the gums and under the tongue for immediate entry into the blood stream. The basic HIP protocol covers for the following diseases: Pertussis (Whooping Cough), Influenzae, Polio, Meningitis, HIB Meningitis, Tetanus, Pneumococcal infections (includes infections of the brain, blood, lungs and middle ear).



Although negative reactions to the Homeopathic Immunizations are statistically rare, the reactions are short lasting (up to two days long) and do not have lasting effects. If there is a reaction, the symptoms may include fatigue, irritability, and some mild symptoms mimicking those of the disease targeted.



OPTIONS: Vaccinate as suggested by conventional health authorities; Vaccinate only against diseases which you feel are potentially very dangerous (most omit MMR and HepB); Vaccinate for some diseases, and use HIP for the rest; Use HIP only against diseases which you feel are potentially very dangerous; Use HIP against all the diseases suggested by orthodox authorities; Only use general methods to constitutionally strengthen your child in order to provide disease specific immunity.



Options: (taken from Dr. Isaac Golden's Homeoprophylaxis publication).



Vaccinate as suggested by conventional health authorities;
POINTS FOR: substantial protection, support of the orthodox health system, you will not be criticised
POINTS AGAINST: risk of short-term and long term correlated damage.



Vaccinate only against diseases which you feel are potentially very dangerous (most omit MMR and HepB);
POINTS FOR: Substantial protection, Support of orthodox health system
POINTS AGAINST: criticised by some in orthodox system



Vaccinate for some diseases, and use HIP for the rest; Use HIP only against diseases which you feel are potentially very dangerous;
POINTS FOR: Substantial protection, Support of few in the conventional medical system
POINTS AGAINST: criticised by some in orthodox system



Use HIP against all the diseases suggested by orthodox authorities;
POINTS FOR: Substantial protected against the diseases you've chosen to cover.
POINTS AGAINST: criticized by most in the conventional health system



Use HIP against all the diseases suggested by orthodox authorities;
POINTS FOR: Substantial protection, Positive effects on general health
POINTS AGAINST: Criticism by many in the orthodox medical system.



Only use general methods to constitutionally strengthen your child in order to provide disease specific immunity.
POINTS FOR: Partial protection against all of the diseases in the vaccine program, High level of overall health, according to their individual constitution.
POINTS AGAINST: Criticism by many in the orthodox medical system.
