Vaccines are a double sided sword. The decision of vaccinating or not vaccinating could either save a child’s life or it could put the child in danger. Vaccines have actually been scientifically proven to save roughly 285 children’s lives every hour from preventable diseases. That comes out to be 2.5 million sons and daughters! The Center for Disease Control estimated that 732,000 American children were saved from death and 322 million of childhood illnesses were prevented for the past 22 years.…

Many wonder if vaccinations are really necessary or if they are even safe. Vaccinations are what allow people the American Dream because it saves lives which enables an individual to achieve happiness. While vaccinations help prevent diseases in America, some believe the potential harmful effects carry too high a risk. Limiting vaccinations would cause an outbreak in diseases because vaccines prevent the disease from forming. Vaccinations have lowered the risk of getting a disease, but the…

treatment course. Why Do You Have Recurring Yeast Infections $ The Genetic Link Candida albicans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen, and it’s the fungus most responsible for vaginal yeast infections. The immune response in healthy individuals will usually clear up infections, but a compromised immune system causes a significant increase in the risk for Candida infections. Genetic mutations might make some women more susceptible to Candida albicans because these genetic defects can’t…

The Good Benefits of Drinking Warm Lemon Water in our Body We, humans need vitamins to be healthy especially Vitamin C which strengthens our immune system. Our immune system fights or protects us from diseases and bacteria that try to enter our body. One example of the fruit which is rich in Vitamin C is lemon and was thought to have grown first in Assam (region found in Northeast India) and Northern Burma or China. Lemon is widely used as a cleaning agent, for culinary uses, industrial uses…

Besides all the aspects that can affect our healthy immune system like pollution or lack asleep, one of the leading causes for an unhealthy immune system is stress. Over use of your “neurological pathways” can produce negative hormones which can affect or change the cells of your body’s immune system due to stress. When these cells are altered, they can cause your body’s immune system to over-respond or even under-respond, to any type of bacteria or virus that your…

Meningitis. Common bacteria causing meningitis are E Coli, Neisseria meningitides, Streptococcus pneumoniae and H influenzae. Common viruses causing meningitis are herpes virus, adeno virus, enterovirus etc. In children or young adults who have weak immune system this can be caused by fungus and atypical organisms such as Mycoplasma. In India meningitis due to tuberculosis is also common and should be strongly suspected if symptoms are slow in onset and…

immunocompromised individuals as they pose risks. To address this issue, expanding upon the concept of vaccines as a preventative-focussed method is potentially beneficial when creating new interventions and monitoring the correlation between varying immune system function and vaccinations can be considered a viable factor during the development of these interventions. Using cancer patients as the specific demographic of immunocompromised individuals this essay will explain why current vaccine…

Since vaccines have been in effect, the decrease of our population has decreased greatly. Although the pros about vaccines were great, the cons also made a big impact on the patients who were receiving it. Many incidents happened and it has caused many controversial issues throughout centuries. Even though the cons are outrageously dangerous, vaccines should be mandatory to our society today. Therefore in the past, there were many cases of diseases spreading. Diseases are contagious though…

Hepatitis C Hepatitis C, or Hepacivirus, is a virus that when contracted destroys the liver. The virus can never be fully cured, but people who have contracted it can take medication to control the symptoms. The virus is contracted through blood products or from mother to infant during pregnancy or nursing. The virus was found by multiple scientists at the Centers for Disease Control, in 1989. The scientists found that Hepatitis C was the result of nearly every case of hepatitis that wasn't…

pathological situations, dysbiosis is observed with a loss in overall diversity – an occurrence, which leads to such conditions as inflammation and identification of these bacteria by the immune system. This in turn mounts an immune response to the gut bacteria, which were originally not recognized by the immune system. Metagenomics are utilized by scientists to not only figure out the composition of the different gut bacteria, but also to give information about their genome and therefore more…
