First, asthma cases shot up, along with hay fever and other common allergic reactions, such as eczema. Then, pediatricians started seeing more children with food allergies. Now, experts are increasingly convinced that a suspected jump in lupus, multiple sclerosis and other afflictions caused by misfiring immune systems is real.
And what about activating an infant's immune system with dozens of vaccines? Think that has an effect on the body? Read the complete article HERE.

"But perhaps the strongest evidence comes from studies comparing thousands of people who grew up on farms in Europe to those who lived in less rural settings. Those reared on farms were one-tenth as likely to develop diseases such as asthma and hay fever."
I'm sure the rural kids got all of their vaccinations like the urban kids, so that couldn't possibly be the cause, could it.
All of the researchers like the complicated answer when the simplest one is usually the best. They should just stick to the KISS rule and things would become alot clearer.
