out measles‚ diphtheria‚ and polio. Vaccines strengthen the immune system by helping the body to reject the viruses and bacteria that cause disease. Parents wonder if vaccines weaken the immune system. Evidence published in the January 2002 issue of pediatrics suggests that the opposite is true. This study explained that if a baby received all 11 vaccines at once‚ this would occupy only a tiny fraction of the immune system and-that part would quickly replenish. The most

Immunisation - facts and misconceptions Australian research shows that some parents are concerned about vaccine safety and effectiveness. However‚ the risk of complications from childhood diseases such as measles is much higher than the risk of immunisation reactions.

weakened the rats immune system. After a while they began to only give the rats the sweet drink without administering any Cyclosporine. The rats immune systems were still compromised‚ which meant that their bodies associated the drink with a weakened immune system. The study was then done on humans using Cyclosporine A and a strawberry milkshake. After a while the volunteers were administered a fake pill‚ which contained no drug‚ along with the same milkshake. Their immune systems were still compromised

The Immune System is a very complicated thing‚ and you can simplify it by comparing it to a defense in football. In football‚ you have three lines of defense‚ just like the Immune System. There is the defensive line‚ linebackers‚ and the secondary. The defensive line is like the first layer of defense‚ the linebackers the second line of defense‚ and the defensive backs the third line of defense. Each of them have their own responsibilities‚ but work together for the same goal. They work as a team

bacteria has many ways to shield itself by being caught by the body’s immune system‚ starting from right when it enters the body all the way until it’s too late and the damage has already commenced. When the borrelia burgdorferi is transmitted into the body by the tick it is covered with the tick’s saliva‚ which contains certain things that shield it from the human immune system. It can be weeks after the tick bite and the immune system still may be completely oblivious to it being there‚ and won’t produce
