Before 1986, seniors were advised to avoid vaccines, so as to not over-tax their immune systems. After 1986, vaccine manufactures ceased to be liable for vaccine damage, and vaccines became pushed on seniors.

I remember having measles. I think I had it twice! Does that mean I have an immunity against it or should I have another shot? I am 70 and in very good health!

I believe this article is very informative for not only caregivers and their families; but to the general public. I have working in the health field as a receptionist for nearly 15 years. During that time, I have been trained the importance of medical prevention. The old adage: "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." The United States is a fortunate society. That has the ablity to educate and inform the people it governs. Not only, do we have one of the best medical facilities, docoters, nurses and other medical educators; but we are a society that strives on keeping its citizens informed about proper health care. This article should be copied or saved by individuals who care for aging adults or even handed out ot patients by their primary care provider. Thank you for this informative article.

Along with many antioxidants, we give our mother lypospheric vitamin C which is very effective in dealing with viruses especially FLU viruses. Vaccines are full of so many chemicals that it actually SHOCKS and WEAKENS the immune system initially which could actually trigger the sicknesses listed above. My mom has been doing well w/o vaccines.
