The UCLA team began by exposing human blood cells to a combination of oxidized fats and diesel particles. They extracted the DNA from the cells and found that the combination of fats and particles turned on genes that triggered inflammation of blood vessels. The researchers verified their work by exposing cells either to cholesterol or pollution particles alone. They found that when cells were exposed only to cholesterol, or only to particles, the effects on the genes were not nearly as great. The team then duplicated the results in mice by feeding them a high-fat diet and exposing them to pollution in downtown Los Angeles.

REGiStRatiOnUsted puede llamar Nanette Contreras al (915) 740-5275 DON’T VACCINATE BEFORE YOU EDUCATE* by Mayer Eisenstein, MD, JD, MPH

Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus. False in one thing, False in everything. — Latin Expression

0th century medicine has been shown to be false in many of its assumptions while it has held physicians with non-interventionist philosophies to a higher standard than interventionist physicians. The unscientific reasoning, “I think therefore I believe” has replaced2 scientific evidence based decision making. How can we have trust in a medical system, which has been shown to be untrue in some of its practice? The answer is with great skepticism. Let us hope that scientific reason will prevail and the motto for the 21st Century will become “The scientific evidence points in that direction, therefore I believe.” All vaccine programs carry risk and benefit. Therefore, the goal should not only be the prevention of a specific disease by vaccination, but also the benefits must outweigh any potential long term negative side effects. Vaccine proponents claim that the benefits of childhood vaccination are undeniable. However, at the same time vaccine opponents point out that the incidents of autism, diabetes, and other chronic immune and neurological dysfunctions in children have increased dramatically in the last 30 years. This points out the difficulty in making an informed decision to vaccinate or not to vaccinate.
