Vaccines & Sick Buildings

Researchers Suggest Sick Building Syndrome May Be Caused by Vaccinations

“New research at the Chaim Zabludowicz Center for Autoimmune Diseases identifies sick building syndrome as autoimmune syndrome induced by adjuvants.”

A new term recently entered the medical arena, ASIA, or autoimmune inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants, sometimes called Shoenfeld's syndrome.

Adjuvants are additives included in vaccines to cause the immune system to respond more strongly. They may include things like aluminum, thimerosal (mercury), and squalene. These adjuvants have been associated with defined and non-defined immune mediated diseases in both animal and human models. In extreme cases, a potentially deadly cytokine storm may be possible.

“In recent years four conditions: siliconosis, the Gulf war syndrome GWS), the macrophagic myofasciitis syndrome (MMF) and post-vaccination phenomena were linked with previous exposure to an adjuvant,” says head researcher Israeli. “Furthermore, these four diseases share a similar complex of signs and symptoms which further support a common denominator.”

These diseases were classified under Shoenfeld's syndrome by researchers Shoenfeld and Agmon-Levin.

Israeli and colleagues suggest adding sick building syndrome under the classification of autoimmune inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants. Nine out of ten main symptoms are present in all 5 conditions.

Sick building syndrome is a set of clinically recognizable symptoms without a clear cause reported by occupants of a specific building. New research at the Chaim Zabludowicz Center for Autoimmune Diseases identifies sick building syndrome as autoimmune syndrome induced by adjuvants.

Several similar syndromes, including SBS, multiple chemical sensitivity, repetition stress injury, the side effects of silicone breast implants, the Gulf War syndrome (GWS), chronic fatigue syndrome, irritable
bowel syndrome, and fibromyalgia may be related.

Shoenfeld and Agmon-Levin further propose several major and minor criteria, which, although requiring
further validation, may aid in the diagnosis of this newly defined syndrome.

A new term recently entered the medical arena, ASIA, or autoimmune inflammatory syndrome induced by
adjuvants, sometimes called Shoenfeld's syndrome.

The safety of vaccines is a very controversial subject. In some cases, there is a 50/50 split in the populations’ trust of some vaccines. Less than half of medical professionals take the flu vaccine for themselves. Where there is this much controversy, a safety issue is definitely going on that is not being properly addressed.

Adjuvants are already known to trigger the development of inflammatory illnesses in people who are genetically susceptible. Therefore, some people are choosing not to vaccinate or are selectively choosing vaccines for only the most dangerous diseases. May adult and childhood vaccines may also be requested without the addition of adjuvants when available.

Symptoms of Shoenfeld's syndrome include seemingly unexplained:
Pain, Chronic Fatigue, Poor Coordination’ Brain Fog, or Confusion, Bowel Problems

"Adjuvants are additives included in vaccines to cause the immune system to respond more strongly. They may include things like aluminum, thimerosal (mercury), and squalene."

Thimerosal is a preservative used in vaccines. Aluminum and squalene are among the adjuvants used in vaccines. You can find an extensive list of vaccine ingredients here:

Adjuvants, as the article states, are used in vaccines to 'strengthen' the 'immune response' as measured by the amount of circulating antibodies in the blood of the vaccinated.

Unfortunately, this does not necessarily correlate with actual
immunity ie: some people with 'robust' immune response prove NOT to BE immune, while some with no measurable response prove to BE immune.

Putting this in plain language: this is yet another test of surrogate markers that has no actual connection with immunity or lack of immunity. Nevertheless, it IS accepted practice among the Pharma/Medical community. Moreover, many of the adjuvants are highly toxic and Pharma is forever experimenting with new compounds to create ever more robust but meaningless responses.

Full disclosure: I did NOT vaccinate my children way back in the 80s when you actually had to go to libraries to do your research.
