EXPLAINING IMMUNE FUNCTION: WITHOUT PUTTING YOU TO SLEEP!

Is it possible to explain immune function without causing narcolepsy? {sudden unintentional sleep}

Well, here goes…

The immune system acts like an army within our body that defends us from disease. It responds (under normal conditions) when the body detects a foreign unknown entity (ex virus, bacteria fungus, etc…) It creates cells that attack this entity, destroy it and prepare it for removal from the body. We don’t realize our immune systems are working 24/7 365 days a year because we don’t see them “in action,” UNTIL a particular foreign invader overwhelms our defenses. While we’re “healthy,” it appears to operate in a similar manner as a computer virus protection program that works in the background (without the computer user’s awareness) preventing computer viruses from attacking and damaging the computer.

Our immune system is divided into two separate components. COMPONENT ONE (known as the HUMORAL COMPONENT) is primarily responsible for attacking “germs” while they float around in our body fluids. COMPONENT TWO (known as the CELL MEDIATED COMPONENT) is primarily responsible for attacking the germ as it invades the cells.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DEVELOPING IMMUNITY THROUGH DISEASE vs. DEVELOPING IMMUNITY THROUGH VACCINATION?

When a germ invades the body it commonly enters through our mouth or nose. This causes COMPONENT ONE to “kick in gear” and begin the battle. A good healthy immune system will use its “FIRST COMPONENT to effectively battle most of the “invaders.” Often, some of the enemy survive our initial defenses. Germs that survive COMPONENT ONE can begin to invade the cells of our body ( ex viruses) in order to reproduce. COMPONENT TWO is then stimulated by the body to begin producing cells to attack these surviving germs. The battle results in the destruction of the foreign invaders leaving many dead cells for the body to clean up and remove via the kidneys and/or the colon.

To build and maintain a healthy immune system, we need to provide our body with REAL FOOD, EXERCISE, STRESS REDUCTION, etc… that strengthens and fortifies its effectiveness and efficiency. It is important to remember that vaccinations do NOT ACT AS SUBSTITUTES for these ESSENTIAL RESPONSIBILITIES.

 The purpose of the vaccine is to artificially introduce a germ into the body to stimulate an immune response WITHOUT causing the individual to actually “get sick.” A weakened, dead or partial bacteria or virus is injected into the person reducing the risk for illness, however, it also reduces the effectiveness of the immune response. To get over this hurdle the vaccine has a substance (such as aluminum) {also known as an ADJUVANT} that intensifies the immune response to the germ, aluminum and every other ingredient (preservative) in the vaccine. This creates a strong ANTIBODY response.  Sounds pretty good, right?

Although increased antibodies are produced with vaccinations, an imbalance has been discovered between COMPONENT ONE antibodies and COMPONENT TWO antibodies. Why is this significant? This imbalance can produce undesirable results including ALLERGIC DISEASES and OTHER HYPERSENSITIVITIES. This seems like a simple problem to fix. If additional vaccines are used to correct this antibody imbalance the response should produce a healthy patient. Right? Unfortunately, when this was attempted, the outcome produced intensified ALLERGIC DISEASES AND HYPERSENSITIVITIES. (J Clin Invest, January 1999, Volume 103, Number 2, 175-183 – http://www.jci.org/articles/view/5155/version/1)

 Our technology has significantly advanced since our vaccines were first introduced, however, we have not reached a level of understanding that sufficiently explains the complexity of the human immune system and the potential harms we artificially create by assuming we can control its actions. The more we are willing to do to naturally strengthen our immune systems the better off we are. Whether you support or oppose vaccinations, they should NOT be relied on EXCLUSIVELY to prevent disease.

So, was it short and interesting or should I patent it as a cure for insomnia?
