The Vaccination Debate
How do you feel about vaccination as standard protocol in America? Some say that immunization is the prize of preventative medicine, that it has eradicated diseases like smallpox and polio, while contributing to higher standards of child health and senior health. However, others feel that injecting perfectly healthy individuals with inoculated diseases to build up immunity is much more dangerous than health experts let on. Should you get your child vaccinated, or pass? Let's take a look at both sides of the story, shall we?
According to medical information, on one hand, vaccinations are needed because we cannot face the alternative. Plagues and disease epidemics once ravaged the globe in epic proportions, killing millions worldwide. Many health experts credit vaccinations with the eradication of smallpox and polio; once deadly killers. Additionally, immunization is considered to be one of the most cost-effective health prevention methods. According to the World Health Organization, every dollar spent on vaccines saves the average American $27 in health expenses. Hundreds of thousands of deaths have been prevented each year by administering a simple vaccine, experts say. They add that the new rotavirus diarrhoea vaccine will save 300,000-600,000 children each year and the new human papillomavirus vaccine will prevent 500,000 cervical cancer deaths.
On the other hand, Canadian author Guylaine Lanctot, M.D. wrote in the Medical Post, "The medical authorities keep lying. Vaccinations have been a disaster on the immune system. It actually causes a lot of illnesses. We are actually changing our genetic code through vaccination...10 years from now we will know that the biggest crime against humanity was vaccines." In one CDC study, it was discovered that measles outbreaks occurred in school districts that were 100% vaccinated and immune suppression contributed to increased susceptibility to other diseases! Moreover, health experts, like Dr. Viera Scheibner, claim there is no evidence that immunization actually works, and John B Classen MD argues that "long-term chronic toxicity" and other follow-ups were not adequately examined.
It's too late to go back in time and get rid of your childhood vaccination, but there are decisions you can make about future immunization. For instance, you may not want to receive a flu shot, in fear of actually getting the flu, which has happened in many cases. You also may not want to get a shot to prevent the human papiloma virus, which has resulted in 78,000 cases of adverse effects, including seizures, genital wart outbreaks, paralysis and 18 blood-clot-related deaths. There are many competing interests and arguments among the scientific community, government organizations, consumer watchdog groups and pharmaceutical companies, so weed through and decide for yourself what's in your family's best interest.

Today's Tip On Autoimmune Diseases
In health class you are taught about how the body has its own defense mechanism called the immune system. In a healthy body the immune system works to keep out infection and keep the body from developing colds, flues, and other diseases. It works around the clock to protect the body from outside intruders. But what happens when the immune system does not work as it should? It stops protecting the body and instead begins to attack it.
