Only the morons we have running the show would think it is best to make money
creating illness they can sell to. After they have destroyed humanity who is
going to do the work for them?
The sick will mine their ore and plant their food?
Amalgam, fluoride, GM foods, vaccines - the list goes on and on. They are

Vaccines, Depression and Neurodegeneration After Age 50
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/pages/vaccines-depression-and-neurodegeneration-after-age-50.aspx
By Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., CCN
It has been estimated that 14.8 million Americans suffer from major
depressive disorder and of this number 6 million are elderly. If we include
anxiety disorders, which commonly accompany depression, the number jumps to 40
million adults. At a cost of $44 billon dollars a year just for care of the
seniors, this impacts the national budget as well.
Depression later in life tends to last longer and be more severe than at
younger ages. It is also associated with a high rate of suicide.
Previously, it was thought that major depression was secondary to a
deficiency in certain neurotransmitters in the brain, particularly the
monoamines, which include serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine. While
alterations in these important mood-related neurotransmitters is found with
major depression, growing evidence indicates that the primary culprit is
low-grade, chronic brain inflammation.
In addition, we now know that inflammatory cytokines can lower serotonin
significantly and for long periods by a number of different mechanisms.
MSG and Depression
Researchers have also discovered that most people with major depressive
disease (MDD) have higher levels of the neurotransmitter glutamate in their
spinal fluid (CSF) and blood plasma. This is the same glutamate found as a food
additive-for example, MSG (monosodium glutamate), hydrolyzed proteins, calcium
or sodium casienate, soy protein isolate, vegetable protein concentrate or
isolate, etc.
Much of the free glutamate in the brain of depressed people comes from
within, that is it escapes from special cells within the brain itself
(microglia and astrocytes). Free glutamate, that is, existing outside the
neurons, is very toxic to brain connections and brain cells themselves --
mainly by a process called excitotoxicity.
This connection between high brain glutamate levels and major depression was
discovered quite by accident, when researchers observed that the anesthetic
drug ketamine could relieve depression for a prolonged period. Ketamine is a
powerful blocking drug for a class of glutamate receptors (NMDA receptors).
For quite some time it was known that depression could cause a loss of
neurons in the hippocampus of the brain-the area most important for recent
memory (declarative memory or working memory), the form of memory most affected
in Alzheimer's disease.
This shrinkage of the brain usually occurred with long-term depression, yet
it was shown, using sophisticated testing, that even without brain shrinkage,
memory could be adversely affected. Some antidepressants could not only reverse
the memory loss but could reverse the shrinkage as well.
The implication was that the elevated brain glutamate, via excitotoxicity,
was destroying brain connections and later killing brain cells in the
hippocampus and that the antidepressants were lowering brain glutamate levels.
Subsequent studies have confirmed that drugs that block excitotoxicity also
reduce depression and that some antidepressants reduce brain glutamate levels.
The Link Between Elevated Brain Glutamate and Inflammation
A tremendous amount of research has now demonstrated the link between chronic
low-level brain inflammation, elevated brain glutamate levels and major
depression. We know that as we age, the level of inflammatory immune cytokines
increase (such as interleukin-1Ã (IL-1), IL-6 and TNF-a). That is, the level
of inflammation in our body increases, with high levels being seen at the
extremes of life -- the 80s and 90s.
This progressive elevation in the body's inflammation increases our risk of a
number of inflammation-linked diseases, such as cancer, arthritis, muscle
weakness, fatigue, sleep disturbances, memory loss and confusion. People with
Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease have even higher levels of these
inflammatory cytokines -- much higher.
When inflammatory chemicals are elevated in the brain it makes brain cells
more vulnerable to a number of toxins, many of which are in the environment.
One study demonstrated, using a series of sophisticated techniques, that if
brain cells were exposed to low levels of a pesticide there was little toxicity
seen and that if you exposed these same brain cells to an immune stimulant
alone, little damage occurred.
But if you first exposed the brain cells to the immune stimulant, the same
low dose of pesticide could destroy a great number of brain cells.
The importance of this observation was that the vaccine made the brain cells
hypersensitive to the toxin so that even in concentrations that normally would
do not cause harm, could wiped out most of the neurons. One of the strongest
connections between an environmental toxin (pesticides) and a neurological
disorder is with Parkinson's disease.
The reason it is more common in the elderly is that they have the highest
levels of inflammatory cytokines. This also explains the high incidence of
Alzheimer's disease, which reaches incidences of 50% after age 80.
The link to depression was also serendipitous
Doctors using immune cytokines to treat patients with cancer or hepatitis
found that one third of the patients developed major depressive illness within
days of the treatment and that it resolved only when the treatment was
terminated. Other studies, in which inflammatory cytokine levels were measured
in people with major depressive illness, also found most had high levels of
these inflammatory chemicals.
To their surprise, they found that many of the antidepressant medications
commonly used lowered inflammatory cytokines levels and that patients who
failed to respond had the highest level of the cytokines.
So, how is this linked to excitotoxicity?
Neuroscientists have known for some time that inflammatory cytokines cause
the brain to release higher levels of glutamate -- the more intense the
inflammation, the higher the brain glutamate level. The highest levels are
found in the prefrontal lobes and limbic system, the areas most related to mood
control. MSG also increases brain inflammation.
Vaccination and Brain Inflammation
A great number of studies have shown that when you vaccinate an animal, the
body's inflammatory cytokines not only increase dramatically, but so do the
brain's inflammatory chemicals. The brain has its own immune system that is
intimately connected to the body's immune system. The main immune cell in the
brain is called a microglia. Normally, these brain cells are lying throughout
the brain in a resting state (called ramified).
Once activated, they can move around, traveling between brain cells like
amoeba (called amoeboid microglia).
In the resting state, they release chemicals that support the growth and
protection of brain cells and their connections (dendrites and synapses). But
when activated, they secrete a number of very harmful chemicals, including
inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, complement, free radicals, lipid
peroxidation products, and two excitotoxins -- glutamate and quinolinic acid.
In essence, these brain immune cells are out to kill invaders, since the
body's immune system sent an emergency message that an invasion had occurred.
With most infections, this phase of activation last no more than a few days to
two weeks, during which time the immune system successfully kills off the
invaders.
Once that is accomplished, the immune system shuts down to allow things to
cool off and the brain to repair what damage was done by its own immune system.
What researchers knew was that during this period of activation, people
generally feel bad and that what they experience closely resembles depression
-- a condition called "sickness behavior". Most of us have experience this when
suffering from a viral illness -- such things as restlessness, irritability, a
need to get away from people, trouble sleeping, fatigue and difficulty thinking.
Studies have shown that there are two phases to this "sickness behavior"; one
in which we have the flu-like symptoms and a later onset of depression-like
symptoms that can last awhile. They have also shown that all of these symptoms
are due to high levels of inflammatory cytokines in the brain, which come from
activated microglia.
A number of studies have also shown that after age 50, people have
exaggerated and prolonged "sickness behavior", much more so than younger
people. This is one of the reasons why many elderly hang onto flu symptoms for
months after exposure.
There is also another immune phenomenon that plays a major role in
vaccine-related brain injury. Researchers discovered that when you vaccinate an
animal, the brain microglia immune cells turn on partially (called priming),
that is, they are in a state of high readiness. If the immune system is
activated again soon after (days, weeks to months), these microglia explode
into action secreting levels of their destructive chemicals far higher than
normal. This overreaction can be very destructive and make you feel very
depressed.
Stimulating your immune system with a vaccine is far different than
contracting an infectious illness naturally. Vaccines are made of two
components -- the agent you wish to vaccinate against -- for example, the
measles virus; and an immune system booster called an immune adjuvant.
These adjuvants are composed of such things as aluminum compounds, MSG, lipid
compounds and even mercury. Their job is to make the immune system react as
intensely as possible and for as long as possible.
Studies have shown that these adjuvants, from a single vaccine, can cause
immune overactivation for as long as two years. This means that the brain
microglia remain active as well, continuously pouring out destructive
chemicals. In fact, one study found that a single injection of an immune
activating substance could cause brain immune overactivation for over a year.
This is very destructive.
Flu Vaccines and an Expanding Vaccine Schedule for the Elderly
Public health authorities and physician societies are in an all out campaign
to have every elderly person vaccinated every year with the flu vaccine as well
as a growing number of newer vaccines. When I was practicing neurosurgery, the
hospitals had an automatic written order on all older patients' charts
mandating a flu vaccine, unless it was countermanded by the physician, which I
always did.
Now, they are giving the shots in malls, tents and every available site they
can muster. And worse still, using lies and scare tactics to frighten the
elderly into getting the shots (such as the bold lie that 36,000 elderly die of
the flu every year).
As you age, your immune system, including that special immune system in your
brain, releases significantly more inflammatory immune cytokines than when you
were younger. This serves to prime the microglia, as discussed. So, when you
get your first flu shot your microglia overreact and does so for a very long
period -- perhaps years.
Many elderly report that the flu shot gave them the flu. Proponents of
vaccines, retort with a condescending laugh; that it is impossible because the
flu vaccine contains killed flu viruses. In truth, what these people are
reporting is a prolonged, intense "sickness behavior" response to the vaccine.
To the body, it is worse than getting the flu.
Remember, no one is recording the number of elderly who die after getting the
flu shot, especially if they die months later, which can happen with sickness
behavior, especially if they have a preexisting chronic illness or are infirm.
The Shocking Truth
With the elderly already having increased inflammatory cytokine levels both
systemically and in their brain, stimulating these primed microglia so that a
chronic overstimulation of the brain's immune system is triggered, will not
only increase their risk of developing one of the neurodegenerative diseases,
but will also substantially increase their risk of developing major depression.
Remember, this also increases their risk of suicide, and even homicide,
dramatically.
Anxiety is a major problem with depression, and vaccinations will greatly
worsen the condition. In fact, vaccination, especially multiple vaccinations,
will maintain the brain in a state of inflammation that will be
self-perpetuating, because the excess release of glutamate in the brain, as
well as glutamate in the diet, will further enhance microglial activation and
excitotoxicity.
Those who are prone to developing one of the neurodegenerative diseases, such
as Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease will be at a drastically
increased risk as we have seen experimentally when even animals exposed to
subtoxic concentrations of environmental toxins and vaccinated develop
neurologic worsening.
Most people use pesticides in their home, and studies have shown that the
concentrations in homes are sufficient to trigger Parkinson's disease in
susceptible people. Vaccinations, as these studies have shown, will greatly
increase that risk. Most doctors are completely unaware of this important
research.
You must keep in mind that "health authorities" urge the elderly to get the
flu vaccine each and every year. This will keep the microglia in a primed and
even activated state continuously. Recently, neurologists announced that the
incidence of neurodegenerative disease had been grossly underestimated and that
neurological diseases of aging were increasing at a frightening rate. They have
no explanation.
Over the last three decades the number of elderly receiving yearly flu
vaccines has risen from 20% before 1980 to over 60% today.
If this were not depressing enough, now the public health authorities and
medical specialty societies are adding a whole new set of vaccines for those
above 50 years of age, including the pneumococcal and meningiococcal vaccines.
What is being completely ignored by the promoters of these vaccines is the
effect of multiple doses of immune adjuvant that accompany each of these
vaccines.
Let's say you see your doctor and he talks you into getting the flu vaccine,
the pneumococcal and meningiococcal vaccine all during the same office visit.
That way, he can save you extra office visits. What your doctor ignores is that
he is giving you three doses of powerful immune adjuvant all in one sitting,
which means that your body and brain are assaulted by a massive dose of
powerful immune activators, which have been proven to activate the brain's
immune system to dangerous levels, even when given as a single dose.
Proof of this mechanism exists not only in animal studies, but in humans as
well.
Mercury and Aluminum
There are other ways that vaccines can cause havoc in the brain. Most
vaccines contain aluminum compounds. A multitude of studies have shown that
aluminum, especially if combined with fluoride, is a powerful brain toxin and
that it accumulates in the brain. With each vaccine injection, a dose of
aluminum is given. These yearly aluminum inoculations accumulate not only at
the site of the injection, but travel to the brain, where it enters neurons and
glial cells (astrocytes and microglia).
A number of studies have shown that aluminum can activate microglia and do so
for long periods. This means that the aluminum in your vaccination is priming
your microglia to overreact. The next vaccine acts to trigger the enhanced
inflammatory reaction and release of the excitotoxins, glutamate and quinolinic
acid.
You must also appreciate that any infection, stroke, head injury or other
toxin exposure will also magnify this inflammatory brain reaction initially
triggered by your vaccines. Studies have now indicated that the more one's
immune system is activated the more like he or she will suffer from one of the
neurodegenerative diseases.
Mercury is also a powerful activator of brain microglia and can do so in
extremely low concentrations -- in nanomolar amounts. Because of its numerous
reactions with sulfhydral compounds in the body (which are ubiquitous), mercury
can poison a number of enzymes, both systemically and in the brain. Of special
concern is the ability of mercury, especially ethylmercury (the kind found in
vaccines called thimerosal) to inhibit the regulation of brain glutamate
levels. (It does this by inhibiting the glutamate transfer proteins that
control the removal of glutamate from outside the neuron, where it does its
harm.)
In essence, mercury, in the concentrations being injected with vaccines,
triggers excitotoxicity, increases brain free radicals and lipid peroxidation
products, inhibits critical brain enzymes, inhibits antioxidant enzymes and
impairs DNA repair ability. The flu vaccine contains enough mercury to do all
of these things. You must keep in mind that each flu vaccine adds to the
mercury supplied by your last vaccine -- that is, it is progressively
accumulating in your brain.
In addition, the aluminum in the vaccines also primes microglia, and when
combined with mercury is infinitively more toxic to the brain. Now, if this is
not enough, we also have to consider the contamination of vaccines with foreign
viruses and viral components. Studies have shown that this is not a rare
occurrence, with up to 60% of vaccines being contaminated in one study of
several major manufactured vaccines.
When confronted with this fact, vaccine proponents just shrug their shoulders
and say -- "We don't think these things are harmful."
Yet, the studies say otherwise.
It has been found that insertion of viral fragments, not even the whole
virus, is sufficient to trigger the brain's microglial system and subsequent
excitotoxicity, leading to progressive brain degeneration. This is accepted to
be the mechanism by which the HIV virus causes dementia in a great number of
AIDS victims. Fragments of the virus (gp140 and Tat) are engulfed by the
microglia and this triggers chronic brain inflammation and excitotoxicity. The
herpes virus and measles virus can do the same thing.
Danger of Live Virus Vaccines
A number of studies have shown that live viruses used in vaccines can enter
the brain and reside there for a lifetime. One such study, in which autopsied
elderly were examined for the presence of the measles virus, found that 20% of
the brains had live measles viruses and 45% of other organs were infected.
These viruses were highly mutated, meaning that they could be just as potent as
other measles viruses, but could be even more virulent.
Worse, is that in most cases they cause a smoldering destruction of tissues
without the obvious symptoms of infection, which has been shown in a number of
studies.
Live virus vaccines are made using a process to attenuate the pathogenic or
disease-causing virus by passing it through a series of cultures. The problem
is that the reverse can also happen within the body. A number of studies have
shown that when we produce free radicals in our body (and we produce tons of
such radicals over a lifetime), it mutates the viruses residing in our tissues.
This is what was found in the autopsy study I referred to above.
Likewise, these viruses can trigger brain inflammation and degeneration,
which has been shown in a number of studies -- that is, there exist a chronic
degeneration of the brain over years or decades. Because it is so far separated
from the time of the original vaccine, physicians just attribute it to old age
or heredity. Anything but the vaccines.
Virologists are also concerned that such mutated live viruses can also infect
other people, leading to outbreaks of disease totally unsuspected by health
authorities.
Conclusion
Current recommendations by the CDC for adult vaccinations include a total of
14 separate inoculations with infectious agents and powerful immune adjuvants.
To be fair, some of these are for special medical risks and conditions, such as
high-risk behaviors, illegal drug use and HIV infected individuals.
If we eliminate these, women will be exposed to 10 inoculations and men 7,
should they follow CDC guidelines, which doctors follow.
According to CDC recommendations, multiple vaccinations for a single disease
are separated by no more than 4 weeks, which is close enough together to
produce priming and subsequent hyperactivation of brain microglia. We have seen
that this can trigger a smoldering process of brain inflammation and
excitotoxicity that can not only result in depression, anxiety and high suicide
rates, but can increase one's risk of developing one of the neurodegenerative
diseases as well.
We have also seen that in many cases a person will be injected with several
vaccines during a single office visit and that this means their body is exposed
to a very large dose of immune adjuvant. Compelling studies, using many animal
species as well as humans, have shown that this overactivates brain
inflammatory mechanism that can last for years.
In addition, several additives to vaccines, such as mercury and aluminum, are
powerful brain toxins that are known to accumulate in the brain over years and
can trigger brain inflammatory/excitotoxic mechanisms. Vaccine contaminants,
such as bacteria, mycoplasma and viral fragments can also produce prolonged
brain inflammation and neurodegeneration.
Because the elderly already have high levels of inflammatory cytokines, they
are at a special risk. The very young (babies and small children) are at a high
risk because their brains are undergoing the most rapid development at the very
time they receive the greatest number of vaccinations -- the first two years of
life. In fact, they receive 22 vaccines during the first year of life, one of
which contains a full pediatric dose of mercury.
Like adults, they receive many inoculations (up to 9 inoculations) in one
office visit. This is insane and in my estimation, criminal.
Nasal flu vaccines are even worse, because they introduce a live virus into
the nasal passages, which can then travel along the olfactory nerves, which
leads to the very part of the brain first and most severely affected by
Alzheimer's disease. A number of studies have shown that viruses and bacteria
can pass along this route to the brain.
In fact, in one study scientists sprayed a bacterium into the nose of mice
and observed a rapid development of Alzheimer's type plaques in the mouse's
brain.
So What Should Older People Do?
First, studies have shown that the primary cause of immune deficiency in the
elderly is purely dietary. The carotenoids, such as beta-carotene,
alpha-carotene, canthaxanthin, lutein and lycopene significantly enhance the
immunity of the elderly. Zinc, magnesium and selenium are also essential. One
should also avoid omega-6 oils (the vegetable oils: corn, safflower, sunflower,
canola, soybean and peanut oils), since they greatly enhance inflammation and
depress immunity. The EPA component of fish oils (omega-3 oils) is also a
powerful immune suppressant. DHA is not.
A healthy immune system means that you can fight infections efficiently and
rapidly.
Regular exercise, such as brisk walking or weight exercises three to five
times a week also boost immunity, while extreme exercise suppresses immunity.
Sugar and refined carbohydrates also suppress immunity and inflame the brain.
Exercise protects the brain from aging effects and from degeneration.
Adequate sleep is also vital to both brain health and good immune function.
Pubic health officials and spokesmen for the major medical societies are
lying to the public concerning vaccine safety. We now possess sufficient
information from a great number of studies to halt this disastrous vaccine
policy. We are facing a medial disaster in this country, which is already well
on its way.

Dr. Mercola's Comments:
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/02/26/how-vaccines-can-damage-your-brain.aspx
First, Iâd like to thank Dr. Russell Blaylock for his highly
informative article on this vital issue. He is one of my main contributing
editors, and a valued colleague and friend. As a board-certified neurosurgeon
who has written over 30 papers published in peer-reviewed scientific journals,
Dr. Blaylock is an expert in the field of excitotoxicity. His papers on the
connection between excitotoxicity and fluoride neurotoxiocity, and autism and
the Gulf War Syndrome have received praise from leading authorities in each of
these areas of research.
I realize that the issue of vaccination is quite controversial and is one of
the bedrocks of "prevention" in conventional medicine and that anyone who
opposes them is viewed as a dangerous quack and threat to the public health. I
understand this because this was precisely the view I had when I graduated
medical school.
However, after more than two decades of practice, I encountered hundreds of
vaccine casualties that spurred me to carefully review the evidence, and I came
to a completely different conclusion.
Those at Greatest Risk are Getting the Most Vaccinations
Both infants and the elderly are high-risk groups when it comes to the
destructive impact vaccines can have on their health. And yet, these are the
two groups targeted with the most recommended vaccines â often being given
multiple shots at a time.
I strongly encourage you to review the evidence before you expose yourself or
your children to these potentially dangerous injections. I am convinced that
their questionable benefits are far outweighed by their dangerous side effects.
As Dr. Blaylock explained in detail above, vaccinations are highly
neurotoxic, and are associated with many neurological disorders, such as:
Degenerative Brain Disorders
ADD
Autism
Epilepsy and convulsions
Mental Retardation
Depression and Anxiety
Central Nervous System Disorders
Paralysis
Guillain-Barre Syndrome
Nerve Deafness
Blindness
SIDS
For example, autism was virtually unheard of before vaccinations; its
emergence precisely parallels mass vaccination programs. ADD and learning
disorders in children are also now being traced to childhood vaccinations.
Brain damage, at any age, is by far the most common adverse reaction associated
with vaccinations, although their actual numbers are not often reported
correctly.
Donât Trade the Flu for Dementia
Vaccines, ALL vaccines, are immune suppressing, meaning they lower your
immune functions. The chemicals and adjuvants in the vaccines depress your
immune system; the virus present depresses immune function, and the foreign
DNA/RNA from animal tissues depresses immunity -- that is the trade-off you are
risking.
The medical thought is that itâs okay to trade a small overall immune
depression for immunity to one disease. However, this trade is not at all in
your favor when you consider the fact that youâre trading a TOTAL immune
system depression, which is your main defense against ALL known disease --
including millions of pathogens, for a temporary immunity against just one
disease. And thatâs optimistic; many vaccines simply do not work and offer no
immunity whatsoever.
There are alternate and vastly safer methods of protecting yourself and your
children against disease, and it all begins with a truly healthy diet, as
outlined in my eating plan.
Of course, drug manufacturers and the governments they have purchased don't
want you to believe that the foods you consume, and the lifestyle habits you
adopt are the PRIMARY SOLUTIONS to establishing immunity to diseases and living
longer.
Avoiding vaccinations of all kinds tends to look like the better choice the
more you know about the subject, and doing your research could literally mean
the difference between life and death.
