Guest guest Posted August 28, 2002 Report Share Posted August 28, 2002 Recently released data that children who live with pets from birth are 50% less allergic to all respiratory irritants than other children. theory: the superclean environment we raise our kids in has hurt their immune systems by denying them important childhood exposures. other factors that should now be studied are things like use of antibiotic cleansers and widespread vaccination for harmless diseases like measles (yes I know a very small % of malnourished children living in overcrowded neighborhoods get serious sequelae of measles. However, public health measures and nutrition have had ten times the impact of vaccines on measles in america) .. it would seem more prudent to treat those at risk and leave the rest of us alone. there has been some speculation that vaccines promote autoimmunity. I used to think this was a direct toxic effect, but now I wonder if it is really because natural immunity is thwarted and aberrations thus occur.

Their contention was that research showed that the vaccine destroyed the vitamin A in the cell wall and prevented communication into the cell. One of their main protocols was to administer cod liver oil. Those with or who treat children will probably be more up to date.
