A.S.I.A. - Autoimmune Syndrome Induced by Adjuvants
A new syndrome (ASIA) was described in 2011 that suggests a mechanism for some of the previously unexplainable autoimmune disorders that had been appearing in both animals and humans.
The research suggests that adjuvants used in vaccines (among other uses) are triggering autoimmune reactions in susceptible individuals, causing their immune system to attack and break down vital organs and tissues. One theory of the mechanism is that the adjuvants, after sensitizing the immune system to them, become embedded into organs where the body's defenses continually attack them, destroying the surrounding tissue. Another is that white blood cells carry the adjuvant (particularly aluminum) into any areas where inflammation is occurring, creating a toxic condition for those sites.
If you ask your doctor or veterinarian what causes autoimmune disorders, they will generally respond with something like "We really have no idea why that happens". If you ask them about the ASIA syndrome, they will most often tell you that they've never heard of it, probably because it's too recent to be taught in the colleges, and the average doctor has not seen the research papers that have been published in their journals.
This syndrome has been greatly under-researched, and in fact has been disparaged by people who refuse to do any research to either confirm or refute science.
