Frank Mangano: With all the talk about vaccines in the news today, I really wanted to tackle this issue head-on.  And who better to talk to about vaccines than one of the foremost experts on the power of all-natural treatment, Dr. Cynthia Foster.

If you know anything about Dr. Foster and her life story, then you know how uniquely qualified she is to be discussing the effectiveness—or lack thereof—of vaccinations.  Just as she was beginning her studies at the University of Texas several years ago, she was severely impacted by a bevy of symptoms that literally threatened her life.  Throughout her first year of medical school, she experienced migraines, throbbing chest pains, and seizures.  Doctors were befuddled as to the diagnosis, and perhaps more importantly, at a complete loss for what they could do to help relieve her symptoms.  Every treatment they tried seemed to make her symptoms worse.

But thanks to her stick-to-itiveness, and with the help of a registered nurse that specialized in holistic treatment, her symptoms virtually disappeared in a matter of months!  In the 11 years since, she’s completely free of those symptoms and has been able to take and treat diseases as they come.

Best of all, though she’s a staunch advocate of holistic treatment, she’s a traditionally trained medical doctor.  That’s right; she still finished medical school, even though she became disillusioned by traditional treatment due to her own experience.  That’s why she remains firm in her belief that healing is best achieved through “education, not medication.”

You can find out more about Dr. Foster at her web site, but let’s get to the interview, shall we?

So, without further ado, I present to you Dr. Cynthia Foster.  Thanks so much, Cynthia, for talking with us today.

All right, let’s get right to the guts of it as it pertains to vaccines:

Why should people avoid getting vaccines when you have organizations like the CDC and the FDA actively promoting them?  After all, if they weren’t safe, wouldn’t they be at the forefront in advising people not to get vaccinated, especially considering the state of medical liability claims against hospitals?

Dr. Foster: This is a very complex and highly charged issue nowadays and I don’t know if I can answer every question about the safety of each and every vaccine, but I can bring up and discuss many issues about vaccines that no one is talking about.  At the very least, it’s going to make all of us think twice about vaccinations.

The safety of vaccinations has always been somewhat in question.  This is due not only to problems with purity but to the toxicity of vaccine adjuvants, substances that are added to vaccines to increase immune response to the vaccine.

Why should vaccine manufacturers care so much about liability?  This year, they’ve been granted full legal immunity against any and all lawsuits arising from any injuries caused by the swine flu vaccine.  On the surface, it looks as if this was done because the swine is a “national health emergency” and there is simply no time to test for safety.  Underneath this, though is another issue—that vaccine manufacturers are paying out more and more money each year to people who have been damaged by their vaccines.  One might think they’ve gotten tired of paying.

To understand this fully, you have to know what types of vaccines are available, the components they contain and how they are manufactured.

Now, in order to produce a vaccine, we must have the outer protein coat of the virus (called hemagglutinin).  This is the part that the body’s immune system recognizes, and this is the part against which the body will produce antibodies when it is exposed.  Once those antibodies form to the virus, the person is protected against infection.  How long they are protected depends on many things.  For some organisms, antibodies can protect a person for life.  For example, once a person has produced antibodies against chickenpox, that person, for the most part, is protected against chickenpox for life.

On the other hand, there are organisms that mutate and change their protein coat.  This makes the antibodies ineffective since the organism has changed its protein coat, and this coat is what the antibodies must attack by producing an exact match of molecules that will glue onto the protein coat perfectly and then destroy it.  If the antibody is not an exact match, then it will not work.  This is like a lock and key mechanism.  You have to have the right key or you cannot unlock the door.  So we have to have an exact match of an antibody against a protein coat, otherwise, the immune system cannot attack the pathogen (virus).

Cold and flu viruses mutate so quickly that it is next to impossible to produce a vaccine in time to have an exact match of antibodies against the virus.  The process of making a vaccine takes around six months.  After six months, a virus may have mutated a few times, and then you no longer have an exact match and your vaccine is worthless.  Many vaccine manufacturers attempt to guess which strains of virus will infect the population in advance, and they make up vaccines before the cold and flu season hit.  The only problem with this is that no one has ever been able to correctly guess with 100 percent accuracy which viruses are going to infect during the next cold and flu season.

This is what doctors are aiming for when they administer vaccines.  They are looking to produce that exact antibody by introducing a protein coat of a harmful organism, knowing that the human body will form an exact antibody match against it.  In theory, this is a great concept.   However, from concept to completion, there have proven to be many problems that interfere not only with the effectiveness of vaccines, but the safety of them as well.
