Vaccinations

• A lot of emotion surrounds the decision to either have your child vaccinated or not, mostly because there isn’t much data about the long-term effects of vaccinating children.

• It is important to note that Dr. Larson is neither an anti-vaccination or pro-vaccination proponent, it is just important that people know the facts when making an informed decision In the 1950s children between birth and the age of six received seven various vaccine doses.

• In 2013, that number rose to 36, and this year, the total number increased to 48 doses to cover 40 different types of vaccines.

• That equals a 400% increase in dosages in less little than seventy years.

• The pharmaceutical companies that develop the vaccines have done a lot of research on the short-term effects of vaccinating kids, and they insist that the risk for their short-term health are very low.

• What has been understudied is both the long-term effects of vaccinating children and what the combination of so many vaccines have on a child’s overall health and well being.

• After nearly a century, the science is still very ambiguous

• Last month a study was published in the Journal of Translational Science that took a look at the data related to the health of vaccinated versus non-vaccinated children.

• The researchers set out to compare 600 children to measure two major objectives in youths ages six to eighteen.

• 39% of the participants in the study were not vaccinated.

• The first objective of the study was to quantify the incidence of acute and chronic conditions comparatively between vaccinated and non-vaccinated children ages six to eighteen.

• The second objective was to study neural developmental diseases, specifically three main ones, autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactive disorder, and broader unclassified learning disorders and disabilities related to neurological degradation, to find if there was a difference between the kids who were vaccinated versus the kids who were not.

• The results for objective one was that the risks for two acute diseases whopping cough and chicken pox were lesser in the vaccinated group versus the non-vaccinated group.

•  But, for all the other acute conditions that they studied those children who received the vaccination had a higher incidence of acute illness or there was no significant difference.
• One specific acute illness, which was significantly different, was that children who were vaccinated had an increased risk of developing pneumonia by as much as 420%, or an odds ratio of 5.2:1, versus children who were not vaccinated.

• Other acute conditions that they studied showed that there was no statistically significant difference between those children who were vaccinated and those who were not, they both had about equal risk and incidence of getting acute conditions no matter which group they belonged to.

• More shockingly, when they studied the chronic conditions of autism spectrum disorder and ADHD, the vaccinated group was at a 320% greater risk of developing these types of conditions.

• When it came to other chronic neurological conditions like broad spectrum learning disabilities, the risk was as high as 420%, or an odds ratio of 5.2:1, if the child was vaccinated versus non-vaccinated.

• When it came to chronic conditions, things such as allergic rhinitis, which included things like seasonal allergies and hay fever, those who received vaccinations had an odds ratio of 30:1, which means that they were as much as 2900% greater risk of developing allergies than their non-vaccinated cohorts.

• So, according to the latest study done, the only benefit that the researchers could find between the vaccinated and non-vaccinated group was that the vaccinated children had a lower risk for chicken pox and whopping cough, on all other spectrums they were at great risk long-term chronic and acute conditions or there was no statistical significance of risk.

• Just one study, it is a great insight into where further research should continue, not conclusive, it might suggest that before you have your child vaccinated, you do the research to ensure that it is a decision you are comfortable with and you know what types of risks you might be exposing your child to.

• If you are considering whether or not to vaccinate your child, it is important to take it out of the realm of emotions and find the science that supports your ultimate decision, the April release of the Journal of Translational Science is an excellent place to start.

Prolozone® is a homeopathic/oxygen-ozone injection technique developed and pioneered by Dr. Frank Shallenberger. It is excellent for all forms of musculo-skeletal and joint pain including chronic neck and back pain, rotator cuff injuries, degenerative and arthritic hips and knees, degenerated discs, and shoulder and elbow pain. Because in many cases Prolozone actually corrects the pathology of the disorder, there is a 75% chance for the chronic pain sufferer to becoming permanently pain free.

Prolozone is a form of non-surgical ligament reconstruction and is a permanent treatment for chronic pain. Prolozone is a connective tissue injection therapy of collagen producing substances and ozone gas which can reconstruct damaged or weakened connective tissue in and around joints. These substances are injected into the damaged connective tissue in and around a joint to rebuild the damaged areas.

By repairing the connective tissue this is all that is needed to permanently reverse chronic pain.

Prolozone Therapy is an injection technique similar to Prolotherapy that uses ozone. The use of ozone causes the joint to heal much more quickly than in traditional Prolotherapy. This is because ozone is a highly reactive molecule and when injected into a joint capsule it is able to stimulate the fibroblastic joint repairing abilities.

Prolozone is derived from the word ozone and the Latin word “proli” which means to regenerate or re-build. It literally means re-building tissues with ozone. It is important to understand what the word Prolozone actually means. “Prolo” is short for proliferation, because the treatment causes the proliferation (growth, formation) of new ligament tissue in areas where it has become weak.

Ligaments are the structural “rubber bands” that hold bones to bones in joints – acting like the body’s shock absorbers. Ligaments can become weak or injured and may not heal back to their original strength or endurance. Ligaments will also not tighten on their own to their original length once injured. This is largely because the blood supply to ligaments is limited, and therefore healing is slow and not always complete. To further complicate this, ligaments also have many nerve endings, and therefore the person will feel pain at the areas where the ligaments are damaged or loose.

We can think of our joints as the hinge on a door. Until the hinge is fixed the door just isn’t going to open or close right and it’s the same exact story with our joints. If we are athletic or if we are just getting older there is some gradual and natural degeneration of the moving parts of the body due to ongoing recurrent mechanical stress, and failure of tissues to repair. This can come from lack of nutrients, lack of circulation, aging and inflammation. When this happens the ligaments, tendons, and cartilage become dehydrated and weaker. This results in laxity and more abnormal mechanical stress and shearing forces on the joint. Abnormal shearing forces and torsion cause more joint dysfunction. This leads to a progressive separation of the ligaments from the superficial covering on the bone called the periosteum. This pulling on the periosteum creates a space, which the body fills in with new bone. These new parts of bone are called osteophytes. They are the premier signs of degenerative arthritis in & around the joint. Osteophytes and joint laxity result in a reduced range of motion, which causes strain on surrounding muscles which then become either over or under worked leading to more dysfunction & pain.

Prolozone causes repair and tightening of the lax structures, partially torn connective tissue and ligaments. Prolozone halts the pain/inflammation cycle. This allows for better circulation, increased blood flow carrying nutrition, and hydration of the damaged tissues. This allows for a healing environment within the joint to develop and results in increased range of motion and decreased pain.
