 | How our immune system and vaccines work Part one of ?. This video is part of a series I'm working on about how vaccines work, their dangers, and the common myths spread about vaccination by the anti-vaccine movement. This video covers how our adaptive immune system works, and how vaccines "teach" our adaptive immune system to recognize pathogens. Part 2: Do Vaccines Cause Autism? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEQB8decrxE |
 | Immunity Community A creative route to understanding the relationship between the innate and adaptive immune system. This video was created for UCSD's immunology class (BICD140) by me and a few of my friends from school. Enjoy the journey:) |
 | Cure for the common cold I teach you how to get rid of the common cold in one day. I also explain how it works. My approach is unique. *I forgot to mention that you need to cough too. Cough a couple of times every time you do the 5 minute blow nose routine. Instead of suffering the next day and the day after that when symptoms are the worst, this method can fix you up good; you can probably go back to work the next day feeling something similar to a minor hangover. There would be no residual coughs. How do you know if you may have a cold? From my own experience, I may feel tired. I may be sneezing, having a chill, having a temperature, and definitely having a runny nose. If you watch this video then blow your nose a few times on the second day after you get the cold, you've definitely wasted your time. You need to follow my technique the moment you think you have a cold. You need to practice hygiene as mentioned. You need to blow nose every 5 minutes for at least 50 times. It takes work but it definitely worked for me. At the very onset of a cold, the nasal passage is still clear. Blockage happens by the next day due to inflammation and thicker mucus. If you go home and rest, you would be incubating the virus, unnecessarily increasing viral load. The opportune time to get rid of the virus is at the very beginning. This technique works by enhancing the effectiveness of the anatomic and physiologic barriers -- components of innate immunity. Because innate immunity is amplified by a very *large* factor, we delivered the cold virus a swift kick in the butt. The immune system is about all components (innate and adaptive immunity) working together. Since we helped the innate response along, the humoral response component has very little to do and can finish the job a lot quicker. Until scientists can come up with a better mechanism to quickly leverage the effectiveness of the humoral response (vaccines, etc), innate immunity is the best mechanism we have at our disposal. It's something we can readily affect. The cold virus mutates so quickly that the adaptive response has to go through the complete cycle instead of starting from memory. This is why it has a lag time. By getting viral load down to a low level, the humoral/adaptive response has an easier task in eliminating the virus (when it eventually kicks in). It also evokes a milder, or even unnoticeable immune response, resulting in less misery and quicker recovery. I followed this technique starting from the 2005 cold season. Near the end of 2006, I had cured myself 3 times. This gave me high confidence in the theory. Then it was time to confirm the efficacy for real. I infected myself with a very nasty cold virus; instead of avoiding a sick co-worker, I talked to him a lot. We were working on some project. I ended up taking a day off while he was off for the entire week. After that he had coughs through the entire month. As for the flu, I think doctors already did autopsies to find out where the largest concentration of virus particles are. I have read that the flu virus inhabit the digestive track. In that case, maybe the patient should have the stomach pumped. Also, it should be easy to conduct experiments to find out at what pH level most of the virus population can be killed. Acid is corrosive/reactive so it should be a detrimental to most micro-organisms, with exception to perhaps stomach bugs like H. Pylori. One just has to be careful to avoid burning the lining of the stomach. But like I said, I'm just not interested in the flu. I got tired of the cold and I went all out looking for a remedy. I think this is it. I meant to make this video a long time ago but didn't because I'm lazy. Then I found AndrewBravener's video by chance. In it he was suffering with a flu. This gave me some motivation to make the video. Thanks Andrew for letting me spam his videos. Go watch his channel and subscribe. http://www.youtube.com/user/AndrewBravener Oh and my accent really sucked. I didn't realize it would be that bad! Oh well, maybe it's a caveat that you have to suffer a little bit in order to get better. scarlett johansson thewinekone david bohm janis kuby Paperlilies thehill88 casicamly dna rna renetto pebble bed reactor pbr ataturk saving jane come down to me britney spears stephen morse jenner pasteur immunology humoral cell-mediated IL-4 Richard A.

 | Brainwashing Is Still Evolving The more difficult something is to believe in, the more the mind can firmly believe it is true. That familiar statement: "The closer one gets to god, the more the devil tries work through the people the closest of all to you, to try and lead you away from the truth" A new breed of destructive mind control is evolving. Most dictionary and encyclopedia definitions of the word 'cult' are out of date. 1. No remote location or training camp is required now. Some destructive groups now operate within society and have evolved such that only a short physical distance from home is required to complete the indoctrination. Some can even complete the process within your own home. The UK was in disbelief when it produced its own homegrown suicide bombers. A stack of evidence indicates they were each absolutely convinced what they were doing was the will of a one and only true god. 2. 'Cults' do NOT require an individual leader or personality, that is a thing of the past. A collective or a non-geographic internal governing committee can be used in place of a single visible leader. 3. The desire to become like a central, personality leader figure or guru is not required. Instead, a desire to become a collective personality model, which is typified by a movement is often enough. 4. Not always required for the member to confess or provide secrets about himself, but this may happen anyway. 5. Diet and sleep deprivation not always required, providng other parts of the process are potent enough. The destructive cult is a part of human progress, just like evolving viruses are part of the adaptive bodily immune system. Terrorism will never be solved by conventional military action, no more than firing a pistol at an ants nest ever eliminate it. In the meantime, if you are ever asked: "Do you think I am brainwashed?" DONT judge, you cannot honestly say "Yes" OR "No" But if a loved one insists, to be fair you can only split your answer, since you are simultaneously replying to more than one personality within your loved one, not one. One of these parts will be extremely judgemental, so avoid interacting with that 'person' at all costs. If you can understand what this means, then you will know how to answer. Where to start?
