Has your child been vaccinated and protected against harmful diseases? Childhood immunization plays an enormous role in the health of our children today. “Nearly everyone in the U.S. got measles before there was a vaccine, and hundreds died from it each year. Today, most doctors have never seen a case of measles” (“What Would Happen If We Stopped Vaccinations,” 2014). Thanks to many years of immunization, the incidence for diseases such as polio, measles, and tetanus has been rare. The…

Years of research have perfected using solar devices to pasteurize water, and the results have been very successful. Many scientists have developed ways to render the power of the sun to destroy viruses, diseases, parasites, and bacteria found in water, mostly using solar cookers or solar ovens. This newfound procedure for pasteurizing water could be the solution for people in developing countries lacking access to clean, drinkable water. Many lives will be saved if all people have access to…

People want to be green and alternative which is fine. I support a less is more practice of medicine. I tried to avoid giving medication, but I strongly recommend vaccination." "In my practice, I have seen kids with tetanus, mumps, chicken pox, rotavirus, and invasive pneumococcus. We had a bad pertussis (whooping cough) outbreak in Okinawa a few years ago in the schools. As a medical student, I took care of a 23 year old woman who delivered her second baby and then had a radical…

Australia in a fact file published in August 2013 stated, 'Tens of thousands of deaths of Australian children were prevented, during the 20th century, by form of immunisation, and the benefits have been companioned by the launch of newer vaccines. Rotavirus vaccine has reduced hospital admittance and deaths from infant diarrhoea, hepatitis B and human papilloma virus vaccines have protected thousands of adults from liver and cervical cancer, and many others have prevented infections in…

Since the early 2000s, it has been common that vaccines are mandatory for schooling and jobs, but a closer look brings them into question. “There is a wide spectrum of vaccine complications, which have been identified and acknowledged in the medical literature and by the Institute of Medicine,” (nvic.org). Very much like prescription drugs, vaccination includes the risk that it may cause harm or may not work at all. Vaccines should not be mandatory for any reason, and it should be the parents’…

There are many types of vaccines such as the live vaccines, and the killed vaccines. Also, there is the toxoid vaccines and a subunit/conjugate vaccine. The live vaccines have live germs in them and some live vaccines are the flu vaccine and the rotavirus. The killed vaccines are the vaccines that contain weakened or dead germs in them. Some of these vaccines include Polio and Hepatitis A. The toxoid vaccine are ones that are made out of inactivated toxins. These include the Diptheria vaccine…

Bullying, (both cyber and in-person), an inferiority complex that can be brought on by the fashion and fitness industry, and of course the leading cause in deaths in Americans under the age of 18 car accidents. These are just three things that parents cannot really protect their children against, and with the countless other problems and hazards in the world why would you not want to protect you r child against all that you could. Starting with vaccinations, I’ve recently read numerous articles…

Immunization: “the creation of immunity usually against a particular disease; especially treatment (as by vaccination) of an organism for the purpose of making it immune to a particular pathogen” (Merriam-Webster). This method of eradicating a disease has gone on for many years, dating back to the 1700’s, when Edward Jenner studied Cowpox and small pox immunity. Immunization first began in the United States in 1721 when a Puritan Minister Cotton Mather, encouraged smallpox vaccination in…

This paper will discuss two different issues disinfectants and antimicrobial agent susceptibility testing/resistance. To better understand disinfectants we will further explore topics such as: the meaning of bactericidal, bacteriostatic, virucidal, and fungistatic; the importance of using a control culture when evaluating disinfectants; factors that can impact the activity of disinfectants; microorganism having different responses to disinfectants; and identifying the microorganism susceptible…

Children Should Be Vaccinated In the late 1700s, Edward Jenner, a doctor in England, inserts fresh cowpox lesion from a woman into a boy. After this experiment, the young man never contracts smallpox. The success of this preventive treatment created the idea of vaccination. This led to the development of vaccines for many other contagious diseases. Prior to the development of the measles vaccine, millions of Americans contracted the disease every year and thousands were hospitalized. (Kluger).…
