Vaccination Protocols

"If vaccination cause harm to some children and if we cannot accurately predict which kids will be hurt, then mass vaccination programs, by necessarily, protect the public's health at their expense"
-Eric L. Hurwitz, assistant professor at the School of Public Health, Department, at UCLA

Immunization Natural Options

In the United States, vaccine safety has traditionally taken a back seat to the department and rapid deployment of vaccines. After decades of immunization, we still lack procedures for gathering long term safety data.

Recent events such as the withdrawal of the recently approved rotavirus (identified as a cause of severe diarrhea)and changes in the Hepatitis B vaccination schedule due to harmful mercurial preservative are reasons to question a conflict of interest in regards to those who sit on the FDA advisory panel.

Therefore, lack of confidence in vaccine safety may not be a misconception but a justifiable concern. As of now there is no mandatory 'informed consent', in fact there is a campaign to promote mandatory immunization and its safety.

Identifying Those at Risk

Obtaining an accurate family history is vital in assessing potential risks. Undesirable effects from vaccine-related insults primarily fall into 3 miasmic categories:
Psoric- Rashes, changes in personality, bowel lymphoid changes, asthma
Sycotic - Excess behaviors or conditions such as ADD and allergies, illness affecting organ metabolism and growths
Syphillinum - neurological insult to the brain, autism, seizures, destructive behaviors

It may be beneficial to minimize vaccine-related side effects by assessing familial history and treating both the husband and wife for the predominant miasms prior to conception and treating the child after birth prior to immunization. Consider PCFH's miasm formulations.

Considerations

Take Vitamins C, A, B12, Fatty Acids and Ginseng to assist the immune system develop antibodies. Recognize that material antibodies can diminish the vaccination effect, i.e.-measles. Be selective and request the HIB vaccine early and obtain isolated monovalent vaccines at staggered times to reduce the overall load. Some believe it is best to wait until after 2 years of age to vaccinate (except HIB and possible tetanus) so the thymus and immune system matures. If not vaccinating, be cautious to minimize exposure (daycare, sick relatives, exposure to other children) and build the immune system (Consider PCHF's Immune System Simulator and Hi Potency Echinacea Liquesence).

 

PCFH's Immunization Formulations

Childhood Immunization Detox, Vaccinosis Nosode Drops, Travel Immunization Detox, Pet Immunization Detox

Pre-Exposure / Pre-Vaccination

During periods of known exposure or upcoming immunizations, use the isodes or nosodes in the following manner: Prior to exposure or immunization , begin using an initial isode/nosode daily dose of 5 drops (sensitive patients may need to start with this dose once weekly). Continue this dose and gradually increase to BID or TID for several weeks (sensitive patients will need longer to build up to this dose). If using more than 2 or 3 formulas, you may need to stop one formula before introducing another and take a longer period of time to finish all formulas. If not using traditional vaccination afterwards, repeat the prophylactic homeopathic isode/nosode dosing schedule (see below) every 3 months up until 3-6 years of age and then dose once monthly thereafter for maintenance.

Acute Vaccine Reaction

Determine which isode/nosode formula(s) is/are most specific to the patient's need. Do not use more than two at any one time to avoid overburdening the immune system. You may wish to use PCHF's Immune System Stimulator and/or Anti-Inflammation Drops along with the isode/nosode formulas (NOTE-Asthma Drops, Attention Deficit Drops, Epilepsy Drops, or Anti-Hives drops may be necessary depending upon patient presentation). Dose according to the 'Accute/Subacute' guidelines found in the PCFH catalog. Continue dosing until symptoms show signs of remission. Seek second opinion if symptoms continue or worsen past 48 hours. A drainage formula such as Lymph Stim Liquescence or Whole Body Detox should also be considered. Traditional homeopathic remedies such as Thuja, Silicea and Malandrinum may also be used for the ill effects of vaccines (NOTE-these are included in PCHF vaccine formulations).

 

Chronic Effects of Immunization

It is suggested to choose the most indicated isode/nosode remedy and dose for 3 weeks and give 10 days off before repeating or starting a new remedy. The use of the best-indicated drainage product is important (see PCHF's Detoxification paper). In sensitive individuals, the dose may need to be started at 5 drops in water once weekly and slowly build up over several weeks to attain a daily or several times daily dose.

 

Traveling and Effects from Travel Immunization

It is advised to use immune strengthening protocols before traveling or receiving immunizations. This assists the body in fighting infection and establishing good antibody response. Immuno Tone, Immuno Complex, and Immune System Stimulator will assist this effort. Use DiGest Plus or Herbal Bitters prior to meals while on the trip. Use Travel Immunization Detox as described in the Pre-Exposure/Pre-Vaccination part of this paper. The daily use of Cinchona, Sulphur and Arsenicum may assist the body not contract illness while traveling. PCHF's Food Poisoning Detox is a must to also have on-hand.

 

Prophylactic Homeopathic Therapy

There is evidence that nosode therapy will provide a level of protection. It yields less protection compared to vaccination protection yet offers little risk.

Day 1: Use Childhood Immunization Detox or Vaccinosis Nosode Drops 3 to 4 time daily for a minimum of 3 days.
Day 4: Use Viral Immune Stimulator for a minimum of 3 days.
Day 7: Use Virus Nosode Drops for a minimum of 3 days.
Day 10: Use Bacterial Immune Stimulator for a minimum of 3 days.
Day 13: Use Mycological Immune Stimulator for a minimum of 3 days.

It is suggested to repeat this protocol every 3 months to maximize protection. After 3-6 years old, you may wish to treat monthly wish one maintenance dose of each on separate days.

Making An Informed Decision

Vaccination is among one of the most controversial topics in alternative medicine today. The issue elicits more emotion concerning a child's healthcare than any other topic. Both these pro-vaccination and anti-vaccination present logical arguments to support their views. However, further examination reveals these opinions are based upon bias, limited thinking,. Erroneous statistics and faulty studies providing little assistance to resolve this issue. This newsletter will discuss the controversies and suggest alternative treatment options.

 

Vaccination Concepts

Protecting the public from such devastating diseases as whooping cough, polio and the smallpox is a noble cause. Vaccination practiced by conventional medicine is based primarily upon two concepts.

1. Eliciting an antibody response
2. Herd Immunity

Number 1 above is done by introducing enough antigen to illicit an immune response without causing disease to protect the body from subsequent exposure. Number 2 suggests that immunizing the majority of the population assists protection and the eradication of the disease.

Those against conventional immunization claim that among other factors, the immune response is not primarily an antibody related one but involves an interaction of the T-cells, cytokine/interleukin and antibody systems. In addition, they would claim that based upon the individual's predisposition and genome expression that universal vaccination, without assessment of these predispositions, creates an increased likelihood of vaccine-based reaction due to overburdening the immune system and the use of preservatives and other additives that can potentially be avoided.

The idea of vaccination is loosely borrowed from homeopathic and isopathic principles of like treating like, however the larger material dose of a vaccine is in higher concentration than would homeopaths would consider safe.

Vaccination Requirements

Vaccination is at an all time high covering 95% of children in the United States. Legal requirements vary from state to state however it became a federal requirement under the Clinton administration to have record of vaccination if on federal assistance. Most states allow for medical or religious waivers but parents must insist on these rights as they are not offered as an alternative. The current childhood immunization schedule calls for 21 vaccinations to be administered by 6 months old. There are 38 vaccinations by the time a child reaches school age.

Vaccine Types and Concerns

Various types of vaccines are used with each having their pros and cons:
· Killed - produce a weaker response and therefore must be repeated and given in large quantity
· Modified Live - less virulent and capable of reproducing, stimulate a stronger and longer lasting response. NOTE- these have been known to revert back to an infectious state and create harm in vaccinated and non-vaccinated groups
· Subunit - components of the active micro-organism. NOTE- other strains or prions may attach themselves to these subunits and pass unnoticed to those inoculated.

Vaccine Manufacturing

Most vaccinations today are of the killed variety. One exception to this would be the Varivax (Chickenpox) vaccine. Manufacturers are removing the Thiomersal (Mercury, used as a preservative) due to its being considered now a carcinogen. A few vaccines are converting to Calcium Phosphate instead of using Aluminum Phosphate instead of using Aluminum Phosphate to assist in eliciting a strong immune response. Other ingredients being used during the production of vaccines. These include: formaldehyde, preservatives such as phenols, benzyl alcohols, benzalkonium chloride, chlorobutanal, phenylmercuric salts, polysorbate, sulfite, MSG, gelatin stabilizers, aluminum hydroxide, neomycin and the various hosts that are used to cultivate the pathogen such as egg, rabbit, horse, cow, monkey, chicken, pig.

Vaccine Terminology

· Monovalent vaccine - one isolated vaccine
· Ployvalent vaccine - i.e.-DTP, MMR
· Vaccine interference - Antigen overload on the immune system due to the use of polyvalents (Exceeds level of immune system to respond resulting in immunosuppression)
· Herd immunity - protecting the majority protects the whole
· Molecular mimicry - protein of antigen similar to body's and the immune system will create an 'autoimmune' response

Pro-Vaccination

· Elicits an antibody response
· Effective, simple and natural
· Up to 100% protection
· Reduction of impairing and death related diseases
· Need to have the complete 'herd' protected to yield results
· Outbreaks have occurred due to the 'exemptors' (those who have not been vaccinated)
· Studies show no conclusive evidence of SIDS or Autism being related to vaccination
· Faculty of Homeopathy in Great Britain states that homeopathic remedies do not affect antibodies and recommends it not be substituted for standard immunization

"The earliest trauma to the individual is the deepest trauma to the individual" -Samuel Hahnemann, MD

Statistics Supporting Vaccination

· 1985 - Measles caused 125 cases and 3 deaths at a Christian Scientist School
· 1991 - Amish communities in 5 states had 890 cases of rubells
· 1987 - Measles cases among Amish were 130 (1.7% among immunized and 73.8% among non-immunized)
· 1992 - Polio in the Netherlands affected 68 people, paralyzed 59 and killed 2-none immunized
· 1974 - Showed no deaths from Pertussis so Japan stopped immunizations. 1979 - A Pertussis outbreak that resulted in 13000 cases and 41 deaths.
· 1995 - Mitchell study in NZ showed that vaccinated children experienced a lower incidence of SIDS than non-vaccinated children.
· OPV and its supposed relationship to GBS (Guillain-Barre Syndrome) does not hold up (Lancet 1998) as there is seasonal variation and some increases were noted prior to OPV immunizations being introduced.
· Immunization has reduced measles in the U.S. by 99%.
· Vaccines weaken immune systems? Yes and no. Circulating T4 cells did decrease because they went to the site of the vaccine injection, normalized in 1 month

 

Anti-Vaccination

· Antibody is not necessarily the desired response
· Causes early trauma to the immune system
· Can cause serious side effects
· Not introduced naturally due to method given and the binders and fillers
· Many items used in the manufacture of the vaccines are known allergens
· Vaccine may introduce undesired foreign organisms or genetic material
· No long term studies regarding the combined effects of multiple immunizations given together
· Studies are faulty with inappropriate conclusions
· Lack of individualization with the therapy
· No guarantee of long term benefit
· Hygiene, sanitation and nutrition are the keys.
· Do not vaccinate until after the age of 2 years old (except in the case of HIB)

Statistics Against Vaccination

· Jamie Murphy states that 40-65% of inoculated disease in the USA occurs in vaccinated groups
· Deaths due to immunizations are most prevalent in children 1-3 months old
· Due to underreporting, as many as 120,000 children annually could be seriously injured
· Stephanie Cave, MD states that at 2 years old, the average child receives 237 mcg of mercury exceeding the EPA level of .1 mcg per kg (NOTE - EPA has no jurisdiction over drugs)
· Leo Kanner identified Autism in the 1930's (Thiomersal was introduced then) and IV chelation is of little value as Thiomersal stores in the gut
· Wakefield states measles dropped 85% before the introduction of MMR vaccine, he noticed 100% lymphoid hyperplasia in Autistic children
· O'Leary has shown evidence of the measles virus in 96% of the GI lymphoid tissue of Autistic children and 76% among Crohn's sufferes
· 'Background Susceptibility' - previous exposure of mother increases the risk of a child becoming autistic upon MMR immunization
· Simian virus transferred to humans via polio vaccine
· 1975, Germany halted pertussis vaccination and the incidence has dropped
· Mary Megson, MD correlated deficiency of vitamin A in children getting Autism after vaccination
· V. Singh, MDM at Utah State studied 400 cases of autistic related 'hyperimmune responses' in which the immune system attacked the nerve shealths. 55% of these followed DPT immunization
· CDC has reported measles outbreaks in schools with vaccination levels of 98 to 100%
· Japan report demonstrated a live measles virus in mononuclear cells of children with autoimmune hepatitis
· Flu shots among the AIDS population raised the viral burden without protecting them (only 44% created antibodies to the flu)
· Asthma occurred in 10.69% of children immunized with DPT versus 1.97% of non-DPT immunized (448 patient study)
· Increased incidence of gelatin food allergies were found among those having systemic vaccine reactions

Various Facts to Consider

· Legal suits against vaccine manufacturers are on the decline due to better research and improvement of vaccine techniques. Some claim the money for reparation is no longer readily available.
· There were 11,365 adverse effect reported last year yet the FDA estimates that this is underreported by an estimated 90%.
· Severe and life threatening events occur in 1 of 600,000
· The Institute of Medicine panel investigates adverse vaccine responses was distressed over the number of vaccine related events in which there was inadequate information to determine causality.

To Vaccinate or Not?

This is ultimately a personal choice. Many feel a moderate approach should be considered by selecting vaccinations to be administered at specific times such as HIB in the first 15 months of a child's life and giving monovalent immunizations instead of polyvalents. A parent has approximately 9 months until the child starts walking to be concerned about tetanus.

Most alternative practitioners agree that infants immune system should be allowed to become more mature before the onslaught of forced foreign materials are injected. Breast feeding as long as possible and avoiding daycare assists in minimizing the risks in the first two years of a child's life while the immune system is maturing. The body has a unique ability to armor itself against trauma and this occurs from an adaptive survival mechanism, meaning the body has an innate intelligence in which it learns from the various traumas it has been previously exposed to. Deep early traumas affecting the immune system, some believe, will play an integral part in their individual gene expression exposing inherent weaknesses and dictate to what degree the person may respond to later traumas or stressors.

Common side effects or adverse conditions resulting from immunization can be as follows: localized swelling and pain, seizures, autism, immune dysfunction, retardation, learning difficulties and in rare events, death. These side effects were most common in children 1-3 months of age and due to underreporting, the figure could be as high as 120,000 children per year are seriously injured.

 

Conclusions and Considerations

There is evidence to suggest a protective effect from some form of immunization however there can be extreme risks involved. Individualization of care by evaluating the child and parents may point to those who may be predisposed to these risks. Miasmic support, breast feeding, avoiding of daycare exposure and proper nutrition consisting of Vitamins C, A, B12, Fatty Acids and Ginseng to accentuate the effect of the immunization to establish antibody response are all facts to consider.
