1. Natural Immunity Versus Vaccination

This is a partial viewing of Lesson 1 from my Vaccine Free Parenting Course.

Natural Immunity Overview

There are four layers of the immune system: skin, mucous membranes, lymphatic and blood. When a child acquires an infection naturally, the body mounts a full TH1 cell-mediated immune response, as well as a TH2 humoral immune response. This fully activated immune response will create lifelong or near lifelong immunity: if exposed again the child will not go through the intense infection process. By contrast, the vaccination process uses toxic adjuvants to aggressively over-stimulate the TH2 humoral immune response, bypassing the critical TH1 cell-mediated immune response. This causes antibodies to be created against the injected antigens, but does not trigger the same intricately orchestrated immune system response as a natural infection (the immune system is much more complex and extensive than we believed when they began developing vaccines – the science of vaccines is based on a nearly century-old theory of the immune system), and does not actually confer immunity – hence the need for booster shots. Vaccine “effectiveness” is thus measured in terms of antibody production, rather than true immunity.

A child can still acquire or manifest the very disease s/he is vaccinated against, and this does in fact often happen during disease outbreaks. Not only this, but the vaccination process itself may exhaust and disturb immune capacity, and lead to chronic health issues – seizures, autoimmune conditions, autism, allergies, asthma, lifelong damage and death. The longer term and cumulative risks of vaccines are in truth not examined or considered by those who make or test them, by public health authorities or by legislators seeking mandatory vaccination laws. They fail to ask or investigate a most basic and crucial scientific question: namely, whether mass vaccination causes or contributes to today’s surging chronic childhood illness rates.

Dr. Richard Moskowitz, MD and Dr. Thomas Cowan, MD, give an in-depth look into the differences between natural immunity and vaccination in their books Vaccines: A Reappraisal and Vaccines, Autoimmunity, and the Changing Nature of Childhood Illness, respectively. True immunity – whereby the body will not go through the major infection process again – can only occur when BOTH the TH1 and TH2 immune response have been fully activated (the adaptive and innate systems, in addition to the interferon system, the microbiome, the neural system). This only happens when the infection process begins through normal routes of entry (e.g., mucous membranes as opposed to injection). This natural immunity process resolves the infection with a full immune response; whereas with vaccination, rather than preventing disease, the infection is actually prevented from ever being resolved. This is why “outbreaks” happen in vaccinated individuals, and have nothing to do with the unvaccinated or “herd immunity.”

The acute response that happens when an infection happens naturally – coughing, rash, fever, etc. e.g., symptoms – is an indication that the ENTIRE immune system is activated to expel the viruses or bacteria causing the infection, while simultaneously creating cellular memory that will know what to do when exposed again – what we call “immunity.” We must also note that the infection process during childhood primes the immune system for future encounters with OTHER infections, and may even reduce incidence of disease processes in later life, as indicated by rates of naturally acquired measles and the later occurrence of cancer.

Symptoms are evidence of the body purging waste (and toxicity). When we have an infection that allows the body to purge, we are also purging carcinogenic or toxic substances we have accumulated that may lead to cancer or chronic illness. Exley’s recent study on individuals with familial AD, shows that these individuals accumulate aluminum in their brains. 

Historical Perspective

Death from infections declined dramatically prior to the introduction of most vaccines due to better sanitation (plumbing and waste removal), refrigeration to prevent food spoilage, improved nutrition, cleaner drinking water, the use of powerful natural and holistic healing remedies, the ending of child labor and the overall improvement of living, which allowed for robust health. For example, death from measles in the USA declined 99.96% before the vaccine was ever introduced. A healthy immune system has the ability to go through the infection process without incident in the vast majority of cases; and typically if there are complications, these are due to nutrient deficiencies or other treatment or susceptibility issues, not a lack of toxic vaccines. Understanding of the history of vaccination and how vaccines never actually saved us from infections – and if anything, have made our situation worse – can be found in Dr. Suzanne Humphries, MD seminal work, Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, and the Forgotten History.

Germ Theory versus Terrain Theory

Proper nutrition is the bedrock of true “preventative medicine” and terrain theory. Conceptually, this means that the overall state of health – the TERRAIN – is far more responsible for infection and/or complication from infection than the “germs” (bacteria, fungi, viruses, etc.). “Germs” or pathogens are drawn to the unhealthy internal environment like mosquitoes to stagnant water.

Here is an example: Vitamin A supplements could save 600,000 lives per year, and may even prevent measles itself: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/08/110825193059.htm

Evidence exists showing measles cases occur more often near areas of poor air quality & higher pollution. Vitamin A, which is an effective treatment for measles, also helps to mitigate the negative health effects of air pollution (clean the tank rather than vaccinate the fish).

Funny enough, the Air Pollution Control Act was enacted in 1955 and the Clean Air Act in 1963 (measles vaccine introduced). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28388516

Vitamin C is possibly the single most important immune stimulating factor in existence; it’s not just for scurvy anymore! Adequate Vitamin C is preventative, while high doses can treat all infectious illnesses and intravenous use (IV) is effective against the worst infectious diseases known. High dose vitamin C has cured virtually every disease there is, including polio and tetanus.

Selenium is a trace mineral strongly associated with viral defense.

Vaccination Overview

Vaccines “work” by aggressively over stimulating the humoral TH2 immune system with toxic adjuvants – often aluminum – in order to cause antibodies to be created against injected antigens. However, those antibodies are merely a marker of contamination, as Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, DO has explained, and do not represent immunity.

Vaccination effectiveness is measured in antibody response, not immunity (“real world effectiveness” cannot be evaluated by measuring antibody production). For example, consider the FDA pertussis/baboon study. While acellular pertussis vaccines trigger the development of robust antibody responses, they do not prevent infection or colonization of the bacteria (same degree as natural infection). Antibodies do not correlate with protection of infection. Also seen in the following case study on tetanus.

Vaccination effectiveness is even worse in neonates and infants (than in older children and adults) due to poor generation of T-cell and B-cell memory – resulting in inadequate adaptive immunity. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4135535/

Efficacy of the toxoid (ability to protect) has never been studied in a vaccine trial. It has been inferred from protective antitoxin levels of 0.1 IU/mL tested in guinea pigs. However, there are many case reports where a person has an antibody level greater than the level deemed to be  “protective” and the person contracted the infection (Dr. Sherri Tenpenny).
