Vaccinations and immune malfunction

Dear ridecampers, do to the volume of mail I've received on this topic I'm
sending this post to the group, rather than individulally.
My research into vaccines began 10 years ago, when I was pregnant and
under the care of a holistically oriented lay mid-wife. The basic gist of
what I've discovered is this:
Vaccines stress the immune system. It is a healthy immune system, NOT a
lack of germs in the environment, which prevents disease. There are ALWAYS
germs in the environment. Vaccines are an unnatural stess to the immune
system. The method in which the virus/bacterium get into the body in
vaccinations is not dublicated anywhere in nature. A pathogens usual methods
of entry--the natural methods--set off alarm bells in the body, and the
immune system has time to "rev up" as it were. Think of two enemy armies at
war--the "natural" method of fighting is to march toward each other until
within fireing range, or to attempt to sneak up on the enemy. IN either
case, marching toward one another or knowing the enemy will sneak up on you
if he is able, you are put into a state of being "on guard." You keep your
gun oiled, your senses alert--ready to fire at the first sign of the enemy.
But suppose you do not know the enemy is anywhere near. Your at rest,
playing cards, guns unloaded etc.--suppose into such an "at rest" camp, an
invading army suddenly got "beamed." The kind of chaos you can imagine in
such a camp is the same sort of chaos the body is thrown into with injected
vaccines. Rather than confronting an immune system which is reved up an on
the alert, the pathogens face an immune system which is suddenly and
desperately trying to play "catch up" in face of a threat which set off no
alarms on its approach.
We are told the danger is not much--the viruses used are killed and/or
weakend. But these "altered" viruses have their own unique dangers. The
body often does not percieve them as a threat, and instead of responding to
them ACUTELY the body gives a half-hearted CHRONIC response. (an "acute"
response is a sudden and violent reaction to something, a "chronic" response
is usually much less violent, but ever on-going.)
For example, if you get a flu shot as child (or any other vaccine you
care to name), you may never get a case of full blown flu--and everyone
thinks, hey the flu vaccine worked! But you know, in the future you have
many, many days where you feel "off" or "not well." You get a lot of colds,
and just think you're whole life, "well, I'm just really susceptible to
colds"--or you develop adult onset asthma, or maybe MS, or you develop some
sort of immune system related disease such as lupus, or cancer--what has
happened is that your body did not respond vigourously and acutely to the
altered flu germs--they were killed or weakend, they came in by a route the
body could not recognize as an invasion, they set off no alarm bells which
would have triggered the immune system into a state of high alert. Instead,
the body sets up a late and weak counter-offense to a threat it does not
fully recognize--and sort of half-heartedly fights the flu CONTINUOUSLY from
then on. Not enough of a battle to cause symptoms, not even enough that you
are much aware of it (except on those days when you tire easily, or feel
"off," or sort of feel like you're "coming down with something" which never
fully manifests). The immune system, marvelous wonder of nature that it is,
can nevertheless only fight a battle on so many fronts at once--if it is
constantly fighting low grade flu, anytime it is stressed with more germs,
exhaustion, whatever, it has that much less energy to respond. The more
things we are fighting at any one time, the more likely we are to get sick.
(Multiple shots, anyone?)
Look at the Gulf War bets--those poor people received every shot in the
book, all at once, and then were thrown into a totally foreign environment
under high stress conditions. Now, years later, military hospitals are
choked with people suffering mysterious, hard to treat, and hard to diagnose
Gulf War Syndrome! Doctors say they are stumped, for the range of symptoms
experienced by the vets seem to cover all diseases! I wonder why! (As
stated, these people got every shot in the book, nearly--shot s which covered
all diseases for which there was a shot available--). Holistic practitioners
PREDICTED this outcome--they were ignored.
Also, an immune system stressed in this fasion may begin, after a time,
to respond to the entire body in a chronic fasion. When tthis happens, the
immune system attacks the body itself, as a foreign invader--we call it
auto-immune disease. Auto-immune diseases have just skyrocketed in the years
since mass innoculations became the norm. So has adult onset asthma, another
auto-immune response. So has childhood allergies and asthma.
Not only in humans--every species of animal which is the "beneficiary"
of mass innoculations, dogs, cats, livestock,--has seen an unprecidented rise
in mysterious auto-immune diseases since the advent of vaccines. Even many
"traditional" veterinarians report that they see a link between vaccinations
and diseases such as EPM, feline lukiemia, canine allergies etc.
One out of every 10 cats develop skin cancer at the point of
vaccination--and in response to this veterinarians are suggesting cats should
not receive thier shots at the usual point of injection--between the shoulder
blades--as the many nerves there make removal of the skin tumors difficult.
Hmmm, maybe the cat ought not receive the shots at all, eh?
All of this is only the tip of the iceberg, as far as the information I
have on vaccines and immune malfunction. I hope the post is helpful to those
of you who wrote requesting additional discussion--sorry I could not respond
to everyone individually--I'd be here for two-weeks. But please feel free to
e-mail privately if you've more questions, if I get too many requests, I'll
post to ridecamp as long as that is OK with Steph--(myself, I do feel the
health of our horses is a relevant topic, but that is only my opinion--)
