Vaccinations,
Auto-Immune Disorders, Allergies and Leaky Gut Syndrome
Hello Fred,
My son is 21, has had
type-one diabetes since age 2, and also has what they call severe ADHD.
Both of these conditions developed after the MMR vaccine that he had at 18
months of age.
I read that the type-one
diabetes is due to the injection of animal proteins into the bloodstream, with
the animal DNA, combining itself with the human DNA of the insulin-producing
beta cells, resulting in antigenic complexes, and autoimmune destruction of
these antigenic-beta cells.
I personally do not believe
that there is such a thing as "ADHD". I have observed my son
throughout the years, and I believe that the so called "ADHD" is
really a mild case of Autism. I also believe that the pharmaceutical
companies KNOW this, and simply do not want to admit how many autistic children
in this country they have created with mercury (Thimerisol)
in vaccines. Besides, this bogus ADHD
diagnosis creates profits for them in their sales of prescription METH
(also known as Ritalin).
I cannot tell you what
a hard life of suffering my son Marc has had with these 2 illnesses.
This is what drives me..... to find something truly
powerful to heal him.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Denita
Hi Denita,
With your permission, I am
including your letter with this article, because people need to know what you
and your son have had to endure.
It is outrageous that pharmaceutical
firms in the
An Internet search of Thimerosol, a mercury-based preservative used in vaccines
and many household products, such as contact lens drops and storage solutions brought
up about 152 references, many of them condemnatory, well-documented studies,
reinforcing your assertion about the dangers of this substance.
Again, an internet search of
the phrase “hazards of vaccinations” brings up about 7952 references. Many
websites are written by or reference reputable medical researchers and many
list clinical studies that document the hazards associated with
vaccinations. Yet the official position
taken by the majority of medical professionals is that the advantages of
vaccinations far outweigh the risks.
Now we have several
generations of children who are young adults who were vaccinated and are having
to deal with compromised immune systems, suffering from serious auto-immune
disorders. As you state so insightfully,
I read that the type-one diabetes is due to the
injection of animal proteins into the bloodstream, with the animal DNA,
combining itself with the human DNA of the insulin-producing beta cells,
resulting in antigenic complexes, and autoimmune destruction of these antigenic-beta
cells.

Injecting attenuated (weakened)
viral proteins intramuscularly or intravenously is supposed to stimulate the
immune system to manufacture antibodies against the disease without causing the
full-blown disease. What can happen is
the vaccine protein fragments, recognized by the body as foreign substances,
can enter healthy body cells, bypassing the immune system’s “seek and destroy”
function, where they become part of the cell structure or DNA and RNA. When this occurs, the immune system, trained
to seek out and destroy, begins attacking the cells that harbor the vaccine
proteins. Then one has an auto-immune
disorder in which the immune system appears to be attacking healthy body
cells.
Live viruses are programmed
to enter cells, mimic body cell proteins and graft themselves into the cell’s
replication apparatus, the DNA and RNA in the chromosomes. If they become part
of the DNA, they are then replicated during mitosis and meiosis. When this occurs, more serious mutagenic
disorders can develop. It can take years
for such disorders to surface and become noticeable.
Vaccinations can actually be
a “free ride” for viral matter to enter the bloodstream and accomplish their
mission. Much safer and more sensible
would be to assist the body through proper nutrition and hygiene to build a
strong immune system, nature’s way of dealing with invading
micro-organisms. There are several lines
of defense micro-organisms must penetrate to successfully establish themselves.
VACCINATIONS AND MAD COW DISEASE
The ability of BSE (Bovine
Spongiform Encephalitis) or “Mad Cow” disease to establish itself via ingestion
of aberrant protein fragments called “prions” can
follow a similar route and cause strikingly similar neurological effects. The only difference is that the prions are usually ingested. This means they must be able to pass through
the digestive tract wall and enter the bloodstream unaltered.
A possible reason for this
ability to survive the digestive process unscathed may be Leaky Gut
Syndrome. According to Dr. Christiane Northrup’s studies, abuse
or overuse of over-the-counter pain-relief medications and other
pharmaceuticals can weken the digestive tract until
lesions or small openings appear in the wall of the digestive tract. When this occurs, food monera
(small particles) can pass directly into the bloodstream, as occurs in the case
of vaccinations.
If this is the case, then
the rise of auto-immune disorders can be seen as the outcome of allowing
foreign protein fragments to enter the bloodstream either via vaccinations, or
Leaky Gut Syndrome. In both cases, the immune system, programmed to recognize, seek
out and destroy foreign protein particles, is just doing what it was designed
to do.
The best way to assist the
immune system so that it can serve our interests most effectively would be to
stop taking over-the counter and prescription drugs that can weaken or irritate
the digestive system. Concurrently, a
diet that de-emphasizes animal-source proteins such as Macrobiotics,
should be practiced. Vegetal-source
proteins are recognized by the immune system as food, not hazardous materials,
and are safer to consume. Bacteria that
inhabit them are less likely to be hazardous to our health. Steaming and thorough cooking further
minimizes the risk of infection. DNA and
RNA of plant materials are not similar to mammalian DNA and RNA, so they are
less likely than mammalian DNA and RNA to be taken up and grafted into the DNA
and RNA of our body cells.
George Ohsawa,
the founder of Macrobiotics, advised the people of our world to consume meat as
little as possible. Macrobiotics is
essentially a way of eating that can sustain health without the necessity of
meat-eating for strength and vitality. If
meat is consumed, Mr. Ohsawa recommended that it be
consumed only in small amounts, and that it be “de-animalized” as much as
possible.
What he meant by this is to
cook it thoroughly to break down the DNA and RNA in its cells and render the
proteins as non-reactive as possible.
For example, slow cooking of small bits of meat or chicken in a soup or
stew would make its proteins much safer to consume. It would also insure de-activation of any
bacterial agents it might contain.

The Cow Milk - Diabetes Connection
The Physician's Committee
for Responsible Medicine published an article summarizing a report that
appeared in The New England Journal of Medicine. Regarding IDDM, the article
states: "the culprit appears to be a cow milk protein, called ‘bovine
serum albumin’,
which differs just enough from human proteins to cause the
human body to react by producing antibodies."
The antibodies created in
response to this cow milk protein (BSA) attack the insulin-producing beta cells
of the pancreas, and destroy them.
Diabetes first becomes apparent when 80-90% of the beta cells have been
destroyed.
The connection between the
BSA and childhood diabetes is so strong that the Physician's Committee for Responsible
Medicine says: "...
Researchers noted that
"the prevalence of childhood diabetes parallels the consumption of cow's
milk."
Macrobiotic Wisdom
Michio Kushi, the macrobiotic
educator, has taught that we should eat as far down the food chain as
possible. That is, the predominant diet
should be plant-origin foods, since these are not as likely to confuse the body
as to what it should create antibodies against.
There is wisdom in such
advice that is now becoming apparent through modern scientific study of the
immune system disorders. Mammalian flesh
and milk product consumption can trigger auto-immune disorders, as indicated by
the studies cited above, whereas simpler life forms do not as frequently. Immune disorders start once the body mistakes
food proteins (or attenuated proteins in vaccines) for invaders, and produces
antibodies against them. Normally, a
healthy immune system can distinguish which is which. Vaccinations may in some individuals become
the trigger that makes the body progressively lose its ability to distinguish
food proteins from body cells. Since
human and mammalian cell protein are similar, antibodies can confuse which is
which, and begin attacking human body cells.
Some people’s systems become
so sensitized they react (i.e., are allergic to) a wider variety of
substances. In such cases, tests can be given, or people
can try different foods and note their body’s reactions to these foods. These methods can enable people to identify
which substances set off the allergic reactions. Allergies are symptoms of potential immune
system disorders which can develop into more serious disorders over time if the
cause is not addressed.
For example, some people find
they are allergic to wheat. People with
celiac disorders, Crone’s disease, etc. have identified that the protein
in wheat, called gluten, causes an allergic reaction. That is, their bodies identify wheat protein
as a foreign invader and produce antibodies against it. This to me indicates a more serious immune
system disorder because wheat protein is very dissimilar to the body’s protein
makeup. An allergy to wheat protein
indicates a more profound inability to distinguish what is beneficial and what
is hazardous to the health of the body.
In Yin/Yang terms, an
ability to clearly differentiate what is friend and foe is Yang; if this
ability becomes confused, this indicates a Yin condition. Therefore, Macrobiotics would conclude that
simply by consuming a more Yang, primarily vegetarian Macrobiotic diet, while
temporarily avoiding the foods which trigger auto-immune or allergic reactions,
one would be able to gradually improve the immune system’s ability to
differentiate friend or foe among proteins ingested.
I think diet has a role to
play in immune system disorders. Dietary
extremes, such as a habitual consumption of foods and beverages sweetened with
refined sugar, coupled with meat-based meals, which is typical fare in
fast-food restaurants and the modern diet, can make the body both overly
sensitized (Yang) and unable to differentiate (Yin) food proteins from protein
of hostile organisms, such as viruses and bacteria. The result is a dysfunctional, out of
balance, immune system. The value of
Macrobiotics lies in its ability to restore balance to the immune system and
body in general, due to the Yin/Yang balance inherent in the Macrobiotic way of
eating.
In my own case, I used to suffer
from hay fever, which is an allergy to certain types of molds, ragweed,
pollens, etc. After I had been
Macrobiotic for a number of years, this sensitivity diminished until it was no
longer troublesome. I was very grateful to be able to help my body
restore its ability to function properly, thanks to Macrobiotics.
In conclusion, since parents with children
suffering from allergies and asthma are cautioned not to have their children
vaccinated, it would seem that any children would be at risk of developing
serious auto-immune disorders from receiving vaccinations. Much safer and more effective would be to
emphasize natural immunity through education of parents, educators and medical
personnel to the immune-building advantages of practicing a healthy, balanced
dietary regimen such as Macrobiotics.
The best way to avoid all life-threatening disease is to teach people,
especially parents, how to create good health by practicing the balanced,
sensible approach to nutrition called Macrobiotics.
If such a practice were
adopted world-wide, the improvement in world health would raise economic and
social health standards to levels unachievable by vaccination programs now
being promoted through World Health Organization (WHO) and other charitable,
well-intentioned, but misinformed benefactors and philanthropic organizations
worldwide.
