should Actually be emblazoned on the packaging of each vaccination, a large “BIO”label. Because like hardly any other medicine a lot more than that, an all-natural protection mechanism of the human body is stimulated happens when you Vaccinate, as fascinating as it is, hundreds of millions of years old process to the defense of viruses, bacteria, fungi and even pathogens that do not exist today.
A precautionary body’s immune system
The Trick is simple: Instead of waiting for an infection, the body produces in the bone marrow, as a precaution, special immune cells. These T-cells have the means of defense already in position, before the pathogen enters in the body. Because each individual T-cell produces a specific antibody, those Y-shaped molecules that recognize a specific target structure, bind to it and as interceptors. Although each of the T-cell produces only one specific antibody, so it can only attack a target. But as in the bone marrow, such as in a random number generator millions of T-cells, there are interceptors for virtually every potential enemy, might be today or in the distant future, attack. Initially, T-cells, the antibodies against the body’s own structures. You will be weeded out in the Thymus, an Organ above the heart. A Thymus-like tissue have been discovered by researchers, even in one of the most primitive Vertebrates, the “nine eye”, since 500 million years ago-existent type, a “living Fossil”. Even then, a “customizable existed, therefore,” an “adaptive immune system”. As soon as one or several types of T-cells via their antibody an intruder, they multiply, forming together with the so-called B-cells more and more antibodies and fight the infection.
But that’s not enough. The immune system remembers the pathogens it had to fight: The T – and B-cells, which multiply and against the intruder, had to proceed to change after surviving infection in memory cells and can last for years and years, even decades in the body. As soon as the pathogen shows up again, solve it within a few hours of an immune response, the pathogens have no Chance of propagating. The Patient is “immune”.
Vaccination gives the immune system a head start
However, not always it comes to memory formation. Although every man against every new pathogen, whether Ebola or HIV, has a certain Arsenal of suitable antibody, it is not enough the immune system of the time, sometimes, to stop the virus and prevent an infection, disease or even death.
this is where the Vaccination comes into play – to some extent, the precautionary the body’s own healing Activate force: It tricks the body an infection by diluted, attenuated, killed, similar or only parts of pathogens, are administered. The “controlled” infection is not sick, but gives the cells enough time to respond and to form memory, which makes the Vaccinated then years or life-long immune to an actual infection.
The vaccines that are used for this memory formation, are quite as “organic”. The first smallpox vaccination in the 18th century. Century with the powdered scabs of scars smallpox infected, or for people less dangerous cowpox. Meanwhile, it is not made use of such live vaccines is largely, instead, killed, or just a particularly immunogenic parts of the pathogen, most of the components of the case, the biologically natural way (biotechnologically, sic!) be prepared.
Adjuvants stimulate the immune response
Crucial for the success of the vaccination, the long-lasting protection, is the immune response. If only parts of the pathogen serve as a vaccine, the immune system to behaviour and memory formation. Therefore, many of the vaccines are mixed with Adjuvants beige, such as aluminum compounds or Oil, which provokes local irritation and inflammation, and the desired immune response is facilitated. As controversial as the Adjuvants are, have studies may the brought side-effects not yet confirm. But maybe these “Non-organic”accessories are now no longer necessary. Modern vaccines from the genetic molecules DNA and RNA do not need any amplifier any more, they’re even lovely enough for a protective, not already –”organic” in the pure state.
