What is a vaccine? What is the Immune System and How does it Work?

With so much being said these days about vaccines and immunity, I thought it would be good to define these.

Vaccine: a preparation that is administered (as by injection) to stimulate the body's immune response against a specific infectious agent or disease such as a bacterium or a virus.

Many vaccines are made from the virus itself, either weakened or killed, which will induce antibodies to bind and kill a live virus. (Merriam-Webster Dictionary)

Definition of a Vaccine: A vaccine is a biological preparation that provides active acquired Immunity to a particular infectious disease. A vaccine typically contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe, its toxins, or one of its surface proteins.

The agent stimulates the body's immune system to recognize the agent as a threat, destroy it, and to further recognize and destroy any of the microorganisms associated with that agent that it may encounter in the future. (Wikipedia “vaccine”, with references)

Definition of a vaccine: A vaccine forces your immune system to make antibodies against a specific disease, usually with a dead or weakened form of the germs. Then, if you come into contact with them again, your immune system knows what to do. (WebMD www.webmd.com)

This is called acquired, adaptive, or natural immunity.

Because the adaptive immune system is constantly learning and adapting, the body can also fight bacteria or viruses that change over time. (from the below reference).

What is the secret for getting results with supplements?
How to decide which supplement you really need?

Are you discourged because you have failed to find the right supplement to fix you health challenge?

The trick is understanding the condition so you get the right supplement.

You must educate yourself on what it really takes to build health. Specifically health in the part of the body that you have your attention on or which is creating a larger problem to your health.

And this is not just being told what helps to build Your Health, but getting the understanding of why it will build health.

An example is something which I’ve worked with for over 15 years, deciding which supplements for neuropathy. I’ve seen many many supplement companies start up (and sometimes fail) that sold supplements for neuropathy. They each had a different idea of what to use that will diminish the pain and symptoms.

Some worked to give some of the B vitamins but usually had additionally things like anti-oxidants and herbs. Anti-oxidants will actually bring some relief and stop the progression of nerve damage (which is what neuropathy is) and the herbs will just cover up symptoms. One supplement even claims that enzymes are what will make nerves healthy again but it mainly includes things that cover up the symptoms.

Covering up the symptoms, I know that it is very welcome to the neuropathy sufferer. But it sometimes isn’t strong enough and the results wouldn’t last – you definitely wouldn’t want to stop taking it.

I remember when I first discovered a supplement for neuropathy that I still recommend.

Why did I know that this Nerve Support Formula worked – it had the ingredients that I knew gave to body what it needs to restore health to the nerves. I was educated on the subject and I know what was needed. (You can check Nerve Health to find out why these vitamins are needed)

It occurred to me that it is true for any health problem. If it is the liver – what does the liver need with what is going on, in order to build health for the liver? The same idea went for the heart, the digestive system, etc. etc. It even works with immunity. What does the body need in order to have a healthy immune system that would ward off any variant of any virus, bacteria or fungus? Interesting idea.

So, I used to call MCVitamins, "How to Survive Despite a Fast Food Lifestyle". This came about because the food that people consume creates all sorts of deficiencies, not to mention the chemical medicines, the pharmaceuticals that also create problems.

I changed it to Get Educated and Take Control of Your Health.

Understanding what is going on with your body and the health challenges you are experiencing will let you look and see which supplement you should chose to create health.

MCVitamins has always been about finding the right supplement formula that we found to work, and will help you and always will. But when you understand what health is and how it is created, you can be in control of things and make the right choices.

Drugs that Create Dramatic Emotional Changes

When you’re in a close relationship with someone who is using drugs, their frightening and dramatic emotional changes can be intensely disruptive. But it’s very common for the person being frightened by these changes to not really understand what is happening to their friend or loved one. Why are they so distant or paranoid all of a sudden? Why do they suddenly disappear for hours or days and then come back and act like nothing happened? Why don’t they seem to relate to their families or friends in the same way anymore?

A major answer is drug or alcohol abuse. When drug use becomes a long-term habit, it can wreak havoc on a person’s nervous system, overall health and mind. Greater awareness comes in the form of being able to recognize the mental effects of drug abuse when they are present. At least you will know what you are dealing with and you will know what kind of help to look for.

Here are the emotional and mental changes you might see as a result of some of the most commonly abused drugs.
