As we continue to look at the science of the immune system,
we will see why immunizations are not a normal part of the process, and why
they have no part in keeping you healthy.
Your body recognizes a shot for what it is, a poisonous invader, yet the
response is completely different from a naturally acquired invasion of the same
disease.
Did you know that 80% of your immune system is in your gut?
All of the bacteria in your body are called the Bionome. You can control the
80% in your gut; the other 20% is beyond your control, for good or bad. As
science learns more about our defense mechanisms, they are realizing that
antibodies to disease are but a small part of our lines of defense.
Unfortunately, antibody titers are all that conventional medicines approach to
disease control cares about. A TH1 response occurs in reaction to naturally
obtained infectious diseases. A TH2
occurs with vaccines and with a few other areas of body responses, like toxin
and allergy mediation.
