TH1 vs. TH2

From Larry Cook...

In the vaccine world there is a LOT to learn and a lot that we could consider to be very important to understand. After years of digging into this topic, with an eye usually for the Big Picture, I believe one of the most important things we all really need to understand is how the body responds to a naturally acquired infection via a cell-mediated TH1 immune response AND a humoral TH2 immune response which sets the body up for IMMUNITY, versus a vaccination that only stimulates a humoral TH2 immune response through toxic adjuvants designed to create antibodies (at great cost to the immune system). And vaccine "effectiveness" is measured in antibodies, not immunity.

The use of toxic adjuvants (like aluminum) to stimulate a humoral TH2 immune response causes an ongoing agitation in the immune system which lowers IMMUNE CAPACITY which is one reason why vaccinated children stay sick longer and get sick more often. The immune system can't get rid of the toxins oftentimes and the immune system stays in this state of shock so to speak as it constantly tries to fix a problem which then gives rise to chronic health problems, autoimmune conditions, eczema, seizures, asthma, allergies and all manner of illness that we see in the vaccinated population.

Vaccine free children, on the other hand, go through the infection process in the correct order (TH1 then TH2) where TH1 accounts for around 80% of the immune response and TH2 is like the clean up of everything and the tagging process via antibodies to create lifelong immunity.

Now, I have simplified this a lot. Learn this. Dig into it when you see it. This is a major key to be sharing with parents on the fence. Remember, vaccine injury may be scary, but dying from a disease is SCARIER. We must demystify this and so understanding this particular piece of the puzzle will help. Much of our movement has been focused on vaccine injury. That is of course, important. But we need to start placing more emphasis on natural immunity and why vaccination is a terrible way to go about "preventing" disease since it does not confer immunity and causes all sorts of problems in the long run. Which, by the way, is the reason why the CDC will never fund a true vax vs unvax study - parents would just stop vaccinating.

P.S. I know I write long run-on sentences, but I kind of like them.
