Vaccines work by introducing a weakened or dead form of a disease antigen. This stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies to fight the antigen without causing illness. The immune system then stores these antibodies to quickly fight the disease in the future. While rare side effects occur, vaccines have many benefits including preventing deadly diseases and reducing their spread through herd immunity. Widespread vaccination protects both individuals and communities as a whole from preventable diseases.
The document discusses several key points regarding vaccination and health outcomes:
- A study is being conducted comparing rates of chronic illnesses like autism, ADHD, and diabetes between vaccinated and unvaccinated homeschool children. Preliminary research found about 15% of homeschoolers are unvaccinated, providing a large sample size.
- The study aims to test the hypothesis that there are no differences in illness prevalence between the groups, and determine what factors are most associated with selected conditions.
- The study is a partnership between Jackson State University and the National Home Education Research Institute. It has been reviewed and approved by the IRB at Jackson State.

Immunization protects children from deadly diseases by making their immune systems resistant. It has saved millions of lives through vaccines for diseases like smallpox, polio, measles and more. Vaccines work by exposing the body to a weakened or dead form of the disease so the immune system can build defenses. While very safe, they come with minor side effects like soreness or fever in some cases. Maintaining high global vaccination rates keeps diseases from returning and spreading to new populations.
This document discusses the risks of vaccines and mandates for vaccination. It summarizes that where there are risks, individuals should have the choice to accept those risks. It notes that vaccine makers have no liability for injuries caused by "unavoidably unsafe" vaccines. Statistics are presented on payouts from the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program totaling over $3 billion. Concerns raised include lack of long-term safety studies, risks of adjuvants like aluminum, and vaccine failures resulting in outbreaks among vaccinated populations. The document argues that individuals who choose not to vaccinate for reasons of conscience pose no greater public health risk than those who are vaccinated.

The document discusses Japanese encephalitis (JE), a viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes that can cause brain swelling and potentially death. It notes that nearly 68,000 cases of JE occur annually across Asia and the Pacific, mostly affecting children. Symptoms can include high fever, seizures, and neck stiffness, with complications including coma, paralysis, or death. Pigs and wading birds can carry the virus and infect mosquitoes, which then transmit it to humans. There is no cure for JE, but vaccination is recommended for those living in or traveling to high risk areas, especially when engaging in outdoor activities in rural locations.

This document discusses the risks of several common childhood vaccines:
1) Hepatitis B vaccine - It questions the need to vaccinate infants against this disease that is rarely contracted in childhood. It notes the vaccine's link to adverse effects like multiple sclerosis.
2) Hib vaccine - It argues the reduction in Hib disease may be due to replacement by other pathogens causing similar symptoms. It also cites the vaccine's link to diabetes and adverse effects reported to VAERS.
3) Polio vaccine - It discusses past issues with the oral polio vaccine potentially causing polio and shedding live virus. It raises concerns the early polio vaccines were contaminated with SV40, which may have contributed to increases in
This document discusses various health issues affecting society such as neurological disorders, cardiovascular diseases, cancers, and mental health disorders. It attributes the rise of these non-communicable diseases to factors like toxic food, lack of activity, toxic medical care, and toxic lifestyles. Various studies and data are presented arguing that vaccines, pharmaceutical drugs, and modern western diets high in processed foods and industrial oils are significant contributing causes of the growing chronic disease burden through their toxic and epigenetic effects. Alternative views of health, disease, and medical treatment are proposed focusing on homeostasis, allostasis, and lifestyle-based primary prevention approaches.
Early childhood immunization programs provide a series of vaccinations to strengthen children's immune systems and protect them from diseases. The history of vaccines began in the 18th century with experiments on smallpox. Today, vaccines help prevent life-threatening illnesses like polio, measles, and pertussis. While vaccines have largely eradicated diseases and saved lives, some concerns remain regarding potential side effects, the use of animals in testing, and debunked claims linking vaccines to autism. Ongoing research aims to improve vaccine safety and effectiveness.

This document provides guidelines on adult immunization for Indian women. It summarizes the key adult vaccines recommended in India including tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis (Tdap), human papillomavirus (HPV), influenza, measles, mumps, rubella (MMR), and varicella. For each vaccine, it outlines the target populations, dosing regimens, contraindications and precautions. The guidelines aim to promote awareness of the importance of adult immunization for preventing disease and maintaining health.
The document discusses the history and causes of allergies. It notes that allergy rates have tripled over the last 20 years. Potential causes discussed include the hygiene hypothesis (decreased exposure to bacteria), vaccinations, toxic food proteins from GMOs and preservatives, and genetics. Specific food additives and preservatives like sodium benzoate, sodium nitrate, and MSG are highlighted as potentially increasing health risks such as cancer and neurological diseases. The impacts of a lack of gut bacteria diversity from excessive antibiotic use and a lack of exposure to microorganisms are also discussed in relation to the hygiene hypothesis.
This document discusses the importance of immunizations and vaccines. It notes that vaccines protect individuals from specific diseases, protect others by preventing the spread of diseases, and can help eliminate diseases altogether. Examples are given of diseases that vaccines exist for, such as measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis A & B, influenza, pneumococcal, rotavirus, diphtheria, pertussis, polio, and chickenpox. For each disease, the related vaccine, symptoms, and potential complications are outlined. The importance of immunizations in preventing epidemics and life-threatening illnesses is emphasized.
This document presents arguments for both requiring vaccinations for children (the pro position) and allowing exemptions (the con position).
The pro position argues that vaccines are safe and effective, saving millions of lives each year. Major health organizations affirm vaccine safety. While rare, adverse reactions are typically minor. Vaccines protect community immunity. Several deadly diseases have been eradicated through vaccination.
The con position contends that vaccines can cause serious side effects in rare cases. Some argue certain ingredients in vaccines, like thimerosal, aluminum, and formaldehyde, are potentially harmful. Others believe medical choice should be left to individuals and parents, and that mandates infringe on religious freedom.
The document discusses adult immunization, including defining immunization and providing rationales for adult immunization programs. It reviews the disease burden of vaccine-preventable diseases in the US and India and provides recommendations for adult immunization schedules in both countries. Challenges to adult immunization are also discussed.

Safety studies on vaccine ingredients like thimerosal and adjuvants are limited. There is little data on the new H1N1 vaccine's safety and effectiveness since normal testing will be bypassed. The document recommends boosting immunity through healthy lifestyle choices instead of relying on vaccines.
AAC Family Wellness (NY) - Vaccine Talk 2014stellablue
This document provides information about vaccines to help parents make informed choices. It discusses the history of vaccines and the rising vaccination schedule. Some key facts presented include that immune systems are not mature at birth and vaccines contain neurotoxins. Statistics are provided showing rising rates of chronic illnesses in children. The effectiveness and safety of certain vaccines is questioned. Natural immunity is compared to acquired immunity from vaccines. The document encourages examining risks and benefits of individual vaccines and knowing your legal rights to exemptions.
Vaccines are tested for safety and effectiveness before being approved and continue to be monitored. They prevent dangerous diseases and have reduced vaccine-preventable disease rates. While vaccines carry some risk, these risks are small and far outweighed by their benefits in preventing illness, disability, and death. Common concerns about vaccine safety have been disproven by numerous studies and scientific reviews. Maintaining high community immunization rates protects individuals who cannot receive vaccines due to age or immune status.
This document discusses vaccination standards and immunization schedules for adults and pediatrics in the United States for 2019. It was authored by Dr. Luis J. Lugo Vélez and covers information from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) such as their role in developing vaccination recommendations and meeting schedule. It also includes the recommended vaccination schedules for children/adolescents and notes from various schedules. Additionally, it discusses diseases prevented by vaccines and compares morbidity rates pre-and-post widespread vaccination.
Stroke is a major global health problem, being the second leading cause of death worldwide. An estimated 33 million people have a stroke, with 16.9 million being first strokes. In the US, 795,000 people have a stroke each year, with one occurring every 40 seconds. Stroke is also a leading cause of disability. The causes of stroke include hemorrhagic from weak blood vessels and thrombotic from blood clots. A 2014 statement found that neck manipulation may be associated with an increased risk of stroke, though a direct causal relationship cannot be certain. Chiropractic care appears to have a very low risk of stroke, around 1 in 5.8 million cases. The risks of other medical procedures and

The document discusses strategies for preventing and treating the flu. It recommends basic hygiene practices like hand washing, coughing into your elbow, and avoiding touching your face. Getting the flu shot is also recommended, though its effectiveness varies year to year. For treatment, rest, hydration, and over-the-counter medications can help relieve symptoms, and anti-viral drugs directly target the virus. Maintaining high levels of glutathione through diet and supplements may help reduce flu symptoms and duration based on clinical studies.
This document discusses vaccines and their importance. It begins by introducing the topic of vaccines and explains that there are many different types of vaccines that are important to receive yearly shots of. Vaccines can save lives through the medicines they contain by stimulating an immune response. The document then discusses several different types of vaccines in more detail, including live-virus vaccines, killed-virus vaccines, toxoids, and other types. It emphasizes that vaccines are administered by medical professionals to protect against diseases.
This document discusses autoimmune diseases and provides statistics about their prevalence. It notes that autoimmune diseases affect one in 12 people, and one in 9 women. Common autoimmune diseases include lupus, multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis. The document also suggests that environmental factors may be contributing to rising rates of some autoimmune diseases.
The document discusses the importance of immunization through vaccination. It explains that vaccines work by introducing a weakened form of a disease antigen to stimulate antibody production and immune system memory. This allows the body to fight off the actual disease in the future. While vaccines carry small risks like soreness or fever, they have greatly reduced the risks of severe illnesses and complications. The document urges immunization as a key preventative public health measure to reduce disease transmission and protect those who cannot receive vaccines.
This document discusses the history and impact of vaccines. It begins by covering early methods of variolation and vaccination pioneered by Jenner. It then explains what vaccines are and how they work to trigger an immune response without causing illness. The document outlines the types of vaccines and provides many examples of vaccines used to prevent viral and bacterial diseases. It discusses how vaccines have reduced disease rates and transformed medicine. Herd immunity is explained through graphics. The document closes by addressing vaccines for adults and the anti-vaccine movement sparked by Wakefield's fraudulent 1998 study linking the MMR vaccine to autism.
This document provides an overview of vaccines and their history and effectiveness. It discusses:

10 Benefits an EPCR Software should Bring to EMS Organizations Traumasoft LLC
The benefits of an ePCR solution should extend to the whole EMS organization, not just certain groups of people or certain departments. It should provide more than just a form for entering and a database for storing information. It should also include a workflow of how information is communicated, used and stored across the entire organization.

2. What is health? What does it mean to be healthy? Feel Good Absence of Symptoms Don’t get sick often
3. The Flu vs a cold Influenza Virus Rhino Virus Over 863 different strains Immunity forever! (forever only if infected naturally, vaccine immunity is unknown) Effects the sinuses, nasal passage, throat, lungs, and ears. Are passed by direct contact or thru the air (coughing, sneezing, etc.) 6+ month immunity Only a few strains infect humans Effects the nasal passages, sinuses, and throat (upper respiratory only) Is passed by direct contact (saliva/mucus) Rotavirus effects the stomach and GI systems (ie: food poisoning)
4. Myth VS. fact Does the flu shot actually protect us from the flu? It is true that 4000/year in Canada die from the flu? Is the flu shot safe?
5. Myth #1 The flu shot protects us from getting the flu FACT: Research has shown that the effectiveness of the flu shot has been overestimated. - Dr. J. Anthony Morris (formerly Chief Vaccine Control Officer at the US Federal Drug Administration) "There is no evidence that any influenza vaccine thus far developed is effective in preventing or mitigating any attack of influenza. The producers of these vaccines know that they are worthless, but they go on selling them anyway."
6. Flu vaccine overestimated Canadian Medical Association Journal, Dr. Demicheli “only 1 of 4 vaccinated adults will acquireprotection against the illness.” In this meta-analysis (of 100s of studies), 50% vaccinated got the flu, 48% that didn’t get the vaccine didn’t get the flu. What the heck? There was statistically no difference between the vaccinated and non-vaccinated groups. 1 in 4 vaccinated developed antibodies, while all those getting the flu naturally developed antibodies. 25% or 100% chance of never getting that strain of flu again? What would you choose?
7. Flu vaccine - children Dr. Joshi MD, Science Daily, May 2009 “children who had received the flu vaccine had three times the risk of hospitalization , as compared to children who had not received the vaccine” But do kids have a higher mortality rate than adults if infected? “Almost two-thirds of the dead children had epilepsy, cerebral palsy, or other neurodevelopmental conditions like mental retardation. All of these neurological conditions are associated with childhood Vitamin D deficiency. Exacerbating the problem further, many of these kids take anticonvulsant drugs, which lower Vitamin D levels.” - CDC 58 million American children are Vitamin D deficient; 7.6 million are severely deficient. (over 79% of children in the US do not get enough Vitamin D)
8. Why doesn’t it work? CDC: 863+ strains of flu have been identified 3 are chosen for the flu shot How do they choose? In April they guess to determine which strains will be most virulent in September/October when the flu peaks They are often wrong. 3/863 odds are not easy for anyone. 0.0034%! Who can blame them? But should pharmaceutical companies be making billions off these odds?
9. Myth # 2 4,000 Canadians die each year from the flu. FACT: Most of these cases are actually not due to the influenza virus. Statistics: In 1987 there was a sudden rise in flu deaths: US: 20,000 deaths rose to 40,000 deaths Canada: 1,500 deaths rose to 4,000 deaths What happened??
10. Fuzzy math in 1987 Miscalculation of 3x 8x Feel like this guy yet? In 1987, the CDC and Health Canada added in cases of pneumonia to the flu death statistics WHY? “statistical recalculation” by the AMA and CMA What was the real reason? 1987 & 1988 were the first years of flu vaccine surplus for the pharmaceutical companies. Who are the big investors in medical journals? Pharmaceutical companies
11. Indirect association "Typically, influenza causes death when the infection leads to severe medical complications... [and as most such cases] are never tested for virus infection... ...CDC considers these figures to be very substantial undercounting of the true number of deaths from influenza. Therefore, the CDC uses indirect modeling methods to estimate the number of deaths associated with influenza."
12. Media fear mongering “There is a dramatic disconnect between what the science is discovering about this flu virus and what is being broadcast over the media outlets. This is a very mild flu virus infection for 99.9% of the population.” New England Journal of Medicine
13. Myth # 3 The flu shot is safe, side effects are mild FACT: The flu shot can be deadly! 40% of hospital health care workers refuse the influenza vaccine every year. What do they know that we don’t?
14. Flu shot side effects Side effects of the flu vaccine injection include: mild soreness, redness, and swelling where the shot was given fever runny nose, nasal congestion or cough ache and muscle aches wheezing abdominal pain or occasional vomiting or diarrhea sore throat cough, chills, tiredness/weakness headache life-threatening allergic reaction 2001: 1,800 Canadians had an adverse reaction to the shot Underreported by 90% or higher
15. More serious side effects GuillainBarre Syndrome “inflammatory demyelinatingpolyneuropathy (AIDP), an autoimmune disorder affecting the peripheral nervous system, leading to paralysis” 1976 Swine flu epidemic: 30 people in the US died from the vaccine, 500 contracted GuillainBarre How many deaths from H1N1?? O
16. What’s in a flu shot? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWfCnjnShnM Ethylene glycol (antifreeze) Phenol, also known as carbolic acid (this is used as a disinfectant, dye) Formaldehyde, a known cancer-causing agent Aluminum, which is associated with Alzheimer's disease and seizures and also cancer producing in laboratory mice (it is used as an additive to promote antibody response) Thimerosal (a mercury disinfectant/preservative) can result in brain injury and autoimmune disease Neomycin and Streptomycin (used as antibiotics) have caused allergic reaction in some people. Aborted fetal tissue
18. H1N1 www.cdc.gov “rates of seasonal influenza-associated hospitalization during an influenza season are highest when seasonal influenza A (H3N2) viruses predominate compared to years when seasonal influenza A (H1N1) or influenza B viruses predominated” The H1N1 flu peaked mid-October, and most vaccines were given early November. It takes at least 30 days after vaccination for antibodies to develop, and give the body immunity. Testing for H1N1 was discontinued in August 2009. Of all suspected cases, 2% were positive for H1N1. All others were Influenza type A. Those that received the H1N1 vaccine were 2-3x more likely to become infected by Influenza Type A (admittedly more dangerous than H1N1 itself).
19. H1N1 vaccine and kids Wouldn’t you rather your children have natural immunity that will protect them from H1N1 for the rest of their lives? National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease found that 75% of small children below age 35 months received no protection from the H1N1 vaccine and that 65% of children between the ages of 3 years and 9 years received no protection from the vaccine
20. Natural protection 10 Steps to a titanium immune system that will help you fight off any bug that comes your way! Did you know: If all the bacteria & viruses were killed in the world, we would die very shortly. Only 5% of all the bacteria & viruses in the world are pathogenic to humans.
21. Influenza Did you know that influenza is inactivated/killed by: Sunlight Disinfectants Vitamin D (1000 IU/day) or 20 minutes of sun exposure on bare arms Hand washing Your bodies’ immune response!
22. Step 1: avoid sugar & processed foods Sugar leads immediately to a depression of the immune system. Average Canadian consumes: 53 tsps of sugar everyday! 13 tsp of sugar in pop High Fructose Corn Syrup: more potent than sugar What happens around flu season? Oct thru March: Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s Eve, Valentine’s Day... too much sugar & alcohol
23. Step 2: Hydration Water flushes the body of toxins We’re mostly water. In the very least, 2 Liters of water per day is necessary. We should be eating plenty of raw fruits & vegetables to also add good water soluble nutrients to our hydrated bodies.
24. Step 3: Sunshine Sunshine on our bare skin converts Vitamin D to a usable form. (20 min on bare arms is sufficient during spring & summer) What does Vitamin D do?: Strong bones Increases immunity Prevents cancer Prevents autoimmune disorders Increases energy And research is coming out with more everyday! During the winter: take at least 1000 IU of Vitamin D3/day.
25. Step 4: omega 3 fatty acids Omega 6 :Omega 3 ratio is off in Western diet. “Several sources of information suggest that human beings evolved on a diet with a ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFA) of approximately 1 whereas in Western diets the ratio is 15/1-16.7/1.” “Excessive amounts of omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and a very high omega-6/omega-3 ratio, as is found in today's Western diets, promote the pathogenesis of many diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, and inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.” Good sources of omega 3: Organic flax seed (ground) Small fish/krill Too much mercury in large fish Organic vegetables Grass fed, organic, free range meats & eggs Omega 3 supplements from small fish/krill
26. Step 5: exercise 30-60 minutes of moderate exercise 5 times/week Walking Strength training Yoga, pilates Stretching Interval training Mouse study: Mice that got moderate exercise everyday (equivalent to 30-60 minutes/day for humans) got sick less often, and ate a normal diet which maintained their body weight. Mice that were sedentary or exercised hard (2+ hours/day in humans) got sick more often, and had more symptoms, lost more weight, and ate very little when sick (a sign of severe illness in mice).
28. Step 7: get the flu And get a fever! At 103 degrees F: bacterium are killed At 104 degrees F: viruses are killed Having a temperature is good, but watch and wait for these signs in children: Extreme listlessness Extreme fatigue Hallucinations Cancer Research & Clinical Oncology study: “A history of common colds or gastroenteric influenza was found to be associated with a decreased cancer risk.” It IS ok to get sick! What kills more people every year: Influenza or Cancer?
29. Step 8: fruits and vegetables Adult males: 11-13 servings/day Adult females: 10-12 servings/day Children: 7-9 servings/day Antioxidants, enzymes, energy There are over 400 antioxidants in one apple! Supplement with Juice Plus 17 servings of fruit & vegetables in 4 capsules For every adult that signs up for 1 year, one child (age 3-18, 19-24) gets free supplements for 1 year.
30. Step 9: avoid acidic foods Cancer and infections grow in an acidic environment Acid forming foods: Red meat Dairy (is broken down directly into sugar) White flour Chemicals Medication, NSAIDS, pain killers
31. Step 10: regular chiropractic care HIV study, Atlanta, Georgia HIV patients receiving adjustments increased their CD4 cells by 52% CD4 cells: “main target cells for HIV. CD4 lymphocytes (a type of white blood cells) are key in both humoral and cell-mediated immune responses.” Dr Ron Pero, PhD Cancer Study Of those people receiving lifetime chiropractic care: Healthy people: 100% boost in immune function Cancer patients: 400% boost in immune function Interleukin 2 levels: “a biological response modifier that stimulates the growth of certain blood cells in the immune system that can fight cancer.” Each injection of Interleukin 2: costs $30,000 in the US.
32. Chiropractic and 1918 Flu pandemic Journal of Chiropractic and Osteopathy: MD patients: 1 in 15 died DO patients: 1 in 886 died Chiropractic patients: 1 in 1,635 died At Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa: 4735 chiropractic patients 1 death 1:4735
33. Neuroimmunology & chiropractic Your brain and nerves control EVERYTHING in your body! Any inflammation in the nervous system will decrease your body’s ability to heal itself. Our immune system is our best defense! What is the first system to develop in your body? Nervous System What does the nervous system control? Cardiovascular System? Respiratory System? Digestive System? Sensory and Motor System? Immune System?
34. What do chiropractors do? Make sure your body and brain can communicate freely, so your body can heal itself.
35. If you get the flu... Our bodies are self healing- if you take good care of yourself, your body can fight off almost anything! Even the best of the best get sick occassionally. Let your body rest, stay home, and get back into work/school when your body is ready. Remember: Our bodies are much more intelligent than the credit we give them. The body is regulating and controlling itself constantly, without any thought by you. Treat it right, and it will treat you well.
36. Be well prevention is best Eat Well Fruits & Vegetables Decrease animal products Stay hydrated Omega 3s, Vitamin D Think Well Decrease your stress level Don`t listen to the fear inducing media Move Well Exercise regularly Wash your hands Get regular chiropractic care
37. Have a Happy and safe Holiday and Flu Seasondr. christinehaferdr. Enricodolcecore
Editor's Notes
Welcome to our Flu Season Workshop everyone! You may wonder why a chiropractic office wanted to have a workshop on the flu- well, it’s simple. Our goal at this clinic is to combine nutrition, exercise, stress relief, and chiropractic care to help you obtain a titanium strong immune system. Prevention is the best and easiest way to make sure your body can withstand any bug or disease floating around.
Here are 3 big myths associated with the flu before we get into what you can do to protect yourself.
It is very important to note here that children that often die from the flu, or get very ill, typically have very low Vitamin D levels. Or they’re on medications that deplete Vitamin D.The influenza vaccine is highly publicized with very good marketing, but it’s just not effective. If I had 3 billion to spend on marketing, I guarantee you, I would spend it on something people might actually need for their health.
This is modern science?
Was the flu more deadly and virulent in 1987?
Now, statistical analysis is showing that those 1500 deaths in Canada in 1987 may have actually been closer to 500. We went from a miscalculation of deaths 3x the actual number to a miscalculation in 1987 to 8x the actual number.
If someone is going to tell me that I need something in my body, I don’t want to hear that it’s not a direct cause association... Where is the cause and effect?
What’s the 2nd leading cause of death in North America? Cancer. (It’s certainly NOT the flu).
