Allergies
The theory goes that dirt contains bacteria, especially mycobacteria, which stimulate one part of the immune system, whereas routine vaccination stimulates a different part of the immune system. Since these two parts of the immune system (the Th1 cells and the Th2 cells respectively) normally inhibit each other, the modern, sanitised, disinfected and vaccinated child is bequeathed a hyperactive Th2 system, and the Th2 system is specially designed to flush parasites from the wall of the gut with a massive release of histamine. Hence hay fever, asthma and eczema. Our immune systems are set up in such a way that they ‘expect’ to be educated by soil mycobacteria early in childhood; when they are not, the result is an unbalanced system prone to allergy.
