After 30 years of intensive research, much has been learned about how brain

cells work and what goes wrong when disease arises. One of the great enigmas has

been the connection between vaccinations and certain brain disorders such as:

 

Autism

ADD

ADHD

Gulf War Syndrome More common neurodegenerative diseases (Parkinsons disease,

Alzheimers dementia and ALS)

 

As we learned more and more about how brain cells should work, we discovered

that often normal processes, such as metabolism, could result in the

accumulation of powerful chemical byproducts, called free radicals, that have

the capacity to destroy these cells.

 

Free radicals, basically, are very reactive particles that bounce all around the

cell damaging everything they touch. Most originate during the process of

metabolism but can also arise from toxin exposure, irradiation and toxic metals.

Because they are so destructive, cells have a network of defenses designed to

neutralize them. This antioxidant network is composed of numerous components

that include vitamins, minerals and special chemicals called thiols (glutathione

and alpha-lipoic acid).

 

What Causes the Free Radicals

 

The idea that free radicals play a major role in all of the conditions listed

above is now proven--the big question is why are so many free radicals being

generated? In the case of autism, ADD and ADHD many came to support the idea

that mercury derived from vaccines was the source of the radicals. And it was

known that mercury could cause free radicals to be generated in large numbers

within the brain. Evidence connecting mercury to the autism spectrum disorders,

neurodegeneration and the Gulf War Syndrome is strong, but not exclusive.

 

Interestingly, all of these diseases also share another common event--over

activation of a portion of the immune system.

 

It is important to appreciate that only a certain part of the immune system is

overactive, because other parts, such as cellular immunity, are actually

diminished. In some instances, as with the childhood disorders, the problem is

congenital and in others it develops as a result of many factors such as aging,

toxin exposure, poor nutrition and excessive vaccination itself. Mercury can

impair immune function as well.

 

How Vaccines are Made

 

Basically, vaccines contain either killed viruses or bacteria, germ components,

toxic extracts or live organisms that have been made less virulent--a process

called attenuation. To stimulate an enhanced immune reaction against these

organisms, manufacturers added powerful immune-stimulating substances such as

squalene, aluminum, lipopolysacchride, etc. These are called immune adjuvants.

 

The process of vaccination usually required repeated injections of the vaccine

over a set period of time. The combination of adjuvants plus the intended

organism triggers an immune response by the body, similar to that occurring with

natural infections, except for one major difference. Almost none of these

diseases enter the body by injection. Most enter by way of the mucous membranes

of the nose, mouth, pulmonary passages or GI tract. For example, polio is known

to enter via the GI tract. The membranes lining these passages contain a

different immune system than activated by direct injection. This system is

called the IgA immune system.

 

It is the first line of defense and helps reduce the need for intense activation

of the body's immune system. Often, the IgA system can completely head off an

attack. The point being that injecting organisms to induce immunity is abnormal.

 

Because more and more reports are appearing citing vaccine failure, their

manufacturers’ answer is to make the vaccines more potent. They do this by

making the immune adjuvants more powerful or adding more of them. The problem

with this approach is that in the very young, the nutritionally deficient and

the aged, over-stimulating the immune system can have an opposite effect--it can

paralyze the immune system.

 

This is especially prevalent with nutritional deficiency.

 

An early attempt to vaccinate Africans met with disaster when it was discovered

that many were dying following vaccination. The problem was traced to widespread

vitamin A deficiency among the tribes. Once the malnutrition was corrected,

death rates fell precipitously.

 

Another problem we see with modern vaccines is that the immune stimulation

continues over a prolonged period of time.

 

This is because of the immune adjuvants. They remain in the tissues, constantly

stimulating immune-activating cells. With most natural infections the immune

activation occurs rapidly, and once the infection is under control, it drops

precipitously. This, as we shall see, is to prevent excessive damage to normal

cells in the body.

 

What Happens to the Brain With Vaccination?

 

It seems the brain is always neglected when pharmacologists consider side

effects of various drugs. The same is true for vaccinations. For a long time no

one considered the effect of repeated vaccinations on the brain.

 

This was based on a mistaken conclusion that the brain was protected from immune

activation by its special protective gateway called the blood-brain barrier.

More recent studies have shown that immune cells can enter the brain directly,

and more importantly, the brain's own special immune system can be activated by

vaccination.

 

You see, the brain has a special immune system that operates through a unique

type of cell called a microglia.

 

These tiny cells are scattered throughout the brain, lying dormant waiting to be

activated. In fact, they are activated by many stimuli and are quite easy to

activate. For our discussion, activation of the body's immune system by

vaccination is a most important stimuli for activation of brain microglia.

 

Numerous studies have shown that when the body's immune system is activated, the

brain's immune cells are likewise activated. This occurs by several pathways,

not important to this discussion. The more powerfully the body's immune system

is stimulated the more intense is the brain's reaction. Prolonged activation of

the body's immune system likewise produces prolonged activation of the brain's

immune system.

 

Therein lies the danger of our present vaccine policy.

 

The American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Practice

have both endorsed a growing list of vaccines for children, even newborns, as

well as yearly flu shots for both children and adults. Children are receiving as

many as 22 inoculations before attending school.

 

What Happens When the Brain's Immune System is Activated?

 

The brain's immune system cells, once activated, begin to move about the nervous

system, secreting numerous immune chemicals (called cytokines and chemokines)

and pouring out an enormous amount of free radicals in an effort to kill

invading organisms. The problem is--there are no invading organisms. It has been

tricked by the vaccine into believing there are.

 

Unlike the body's immune system, the microglia also secrete two other chemicals

that are very destructive of brain cells and their connecting processes. These

chemicals, glutamate and quinolinic acid, are called excitotoxins. They also

dramatically increase free radical generation in the brain. Studies of patients

have shown that levels of these two excitotoxins can rise to very dangerous

levels in the brain following viral and bacterial infections of the brain. High

quinolinic acid levels in the brain are thought to be the cause of the dementia

seen with HIV infection.

 

The problem with our present vaccine policy is that so many vaccines are being

given so close together and over such a long period that the brain’s immune

system is constantly activated. This has been shown experimentally in numerous

studies. This means that the brain will be exposed to large amounts of the

excitotoxins as well as the immune cytokines over the same period.

 

Studies on all of these disorders, even in autism, have shown high levels of

immune cytokines and excitotoxins in the nervous system. These destructive

chemicals, as well as the free radicals they generate, are diffused throughout

the nervous system doing damage, a process called bystander injury. It's sort of

like throwing a bomb in a crowd.

 

Not only will some be killed directly by the blast but those far out into the

radius of the explosion will be killed by shrapnel.

 

Normally, the brain's immune system, like the body's, activates quickly and then

promptly shuts off to minimize the bystander damage. Vaccination won't let the

microglia shut down. In the developing brain, this can lead to language

problems, behavioral dysfunction and even dementia.

 

In the adult, it can lead to the Gulf War Syndrome or one of the more common

neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinsonâ's disease, Alzheimer's dementia

or Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS).

 

A recent study by the world-renowned immunologist Dr. H. Hugh Fudenberg found

that adults vaccinated yearly for five years in a row with the flu vaccine had a

10-fold increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. He attributes this to

the mercury and aluminum in the vaccine. Interestingly, both of these metals

have been shown to activate microglia and increase excitotoxicity in the brain.

 

Direct Effect of the Cytokines

 

Various cytokines have been used to treat cancer patients as well as other

common diseases.

 

Studies of the effects of these cytokines on brain function reveal some very

close parallels to the diseases we have been discussing. For a more in-depth

study of these effects I suggest you read my article appearing in the Journal of

the American Nutriceutical Association (volume 6 [fall], Number 4, 2003, pp

21-35) and in the summer issue 2004 of the Journal of the American Association

of Physicians and Surgeons.

 

One can see:

 

Confusion

Language difficulties

Disorientation

Seizures

Memory problems

Somnolence

Low-grade fevers

Irritability

Mood alterations

Combativeness

Difficulty concentrating

A host of other behavioral problems

 

In the child, brain immune over-activation has been shown to be particularly

damaging to the amygdala and other limbic structures of the brain. This can lead

to unusual syndromes such as the loss of theory of mind' and h“ Alice in

Wonderland syndrome.†It has also been shown to damage the executive functions

of the frontal lobes.

 

In essence, what is lost is that which makes us social human beings, able to

function in a complex world of ideas and interactions.

 

Several studies have indeed shown elevated levels of cytokines in autistic

children. It is also interesting to note that these cytokines, especially

interleukin-1ß and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a) dramatically increase

the damage produced by excitotoxins. So, what we see is a viscous cycle of

immune activation, excitotoxin and cytokine excretion, and free radical

production. The latter starts the cycle all over again.

 

The Role of Autoimmunity and Viral Persistence

 

Studies in autistic children have shown that a state of immune attack on the

brain is occurring. Similar findings are seen with neurodegenerative diseases

and the Gulf War Syndrome. It must be appreciated that this autoimmunity was

triggered by the vaccinations and by organisms contaminating the vaccinations.

Once started, the immune reaction cannot stop, thus triggering all the

destructive reactions I have discussed.

 

Dr. Garth Nicolson has shown a direct connection between mycoplasma

contamination of vaccines and the 200 percent increased incidence of ALS in Gulf

War veterans. The disorder is produced by the same mechanism described above.

 

Another, even more common, problem is the use of live viruses in vaccines. The

reason live viruses can be used is that they are weakened by passing them

through a series of cultures--a process called attenuation. These attenuated,

non-disease-causing viruses are then injected in hopes of stimulating the body

to produce an immune attack.

 

The problem with this idea is two-fold.

 

First, we now know that in far too many cases these viruses escape the immune

system and take up residence in the body--for a lifetime. A recent autopsy study

of elderly individuals found that 20 percent of the brains contained live

measles viruses and 45 percent of the other organs contained live measles

viruses. Similar findings have been described in autistic children and the

measles virus is identical genetically to the one used in the vaccine.

 

The second problem is that most of these viruses were found to be highly

mutated. In fact, different mutations were found among viruses in various organs

in the same individual.

 

This has been a secret kept from the public.

 

These attenuated viruses undergo mutation brought on by the presence of free

radicals in the tissues and organs and they can mutate into virulent,

disease-causing organisms. Recent studies have confirmed this frightening

finding. In fact, a large percentage of Alzheimer's disease patients have live

viruses in their brain as compared to normal individuals.

 

Once these live viruses are injected, they cannot be removed. Because the

viruses stay in the body, they will be under constant free radical exposure,

which can increase during times of stress, illness, exercise and with aging. It

is the free radicals that cause the virus to mutate.

 

In essence, the viruses can exist in the brain, or any organ, either silently

and slowly producing destruction of the brain or spinal cord or producing sudden

disease once the virus mutates to a highly lethal form.

 

Conclusions

 

We have seen that the policy of giving numerous vaccinations to individuals,

especially infants and small children, is shear idiocy.

 

A considerable number of studies have shown conclusively that such a practice

can lead to severe injury to the brain by numerous mechanisms. Because the

child's brain is undergoing a period of rapid growth from the third trimester of

pregnancy until age 2 years, his or her brain is at considerable risk from this

insane policy.

 

We have also seen that live-virus vaccines and contaminated vaccines hold a

special risk in that the viruses tend to persist in a substantial number of

individuals and that free radicals can cause the latent viruses to transform by

genetic mutation into disease-causing organisms later in life.

 

It is vital that anyone scheduled for vaccination follow a schedule that allows

no more than one vaccine every six months, allowing the immune system time to

recover.

 

Live-virus vaccines should be avoided.

 

This was recently illustrated by the switch from the live polio vaccine to the

killed virus. All cases of polio after the introduction of the vaccine, in the

developed world, came from the vaccine itself. This was known from the

beginning.

 

Finally, it is vital that anyone undergoing vaccination should start nutritional

supplementation and adhere to a healthy diet before vaccination occurs. Vaccine

complications are far fewer in individuals with good nutrition.
