Medications are not without side effects on health. Even if they are supposed to treat a pathology, they sometimes cause other dysfunctions, unfortunately more serious. So, discover in this article the dangerous side effects of drugs and vaccines that are often required to cure and prevent certain diseases.
According to Professor Henri Joyeux, the body is able to defend itself without outside help and the addition of external elements can sometimes damage it instead of doing him good. This is the case, for example, of certain vaccines that are compulsory for children when they have harmful effects on their health, such as:
Rubella, Mumps and Measles (MMR) Vaccine: This vaccine can cause serious neurological system disorders, especially in children. The National Vaccine Information Center of Belgium has also identified several notorious side effects including lupus (autoimmune disorder of connective tissue), aseptic meningitis (inflammation of the lining of the brain), convulsions or the cardiomyopathy (weakening of the heart muscle).
Varicella Vaccine: Varicella vaccine can cause serious effects, especially if you have allergies. According to the report of the World Health Organization (WHO), the serious complications that have been reported with varicella vaccines are pneumonia, hepatitis, meningitis and severe rashes.
In addition, some drugs greatly affect health such as:
Antibiotics: According to French researchers whose study was published in the journal Science of November 2017, taking antibiotic imbalance intestinal flora and this can impact the survival of people on immunotherapies (treatment intended to increase or to cause immunity of the body by the injection of antibodies). On the one hand, antibiotics alter the balance of the digestive flora, causing bloating, stomachaches or nausea, and on the other hand, they unbalance the vaginal flora. In addition, antibiotics, as they destroy the good bacteria in the body, weaken the immune system.
Antidepressants: Influencing serotonin (happiness hormone), antidepressants are prescribed in case of depressive episode. However, they do not reduce the risk of recurrence and are the cause of side effects including lower blood pressure, decreased libido or digestive disorders.
In addition, some scientists have discovered that a single dose of antidepressant is enough to change the architecture of the brain, since these drugs have a direct action on the nervous system. In addition, according to a Canadian study of 300,000 people, taking some antidepressants may even lead to brain hemorrhages and lower blood pressure in the elderly.
Influenza vaccine: Although it is very useful for the elderly and those already suffering from influenza, some influenza vaccines contain high amounts of mercury, a preservative. Mercury can have toxic effects on the nervous system, digestive system, lungs, kidneys, skin and eyes.
According to the researchers, administering this type of vaccine is not always useful because some people develop a natural immunity and do not need outside help to fight the flu. In addition, because the manufacture of the vaccine is launched a few months before the outbreak, the vaccine is not always adapted to the viruses responsible for the latter. In addition, according to the study published in the British Medical Journal, the H1N1 flu vaccine has caused several cases of narcolepsy (an uncontrollable sleeping sickness).
Vaccines against HPV (papillomavirus):
Human papillomaviruses belong to a family of viruses that attack the cervix and progressively develop from so-called precancerous lesions. Gardasil is the preventive vaccine for this type of cancer. However, TGA (Australian Therapeutic Administration) has raised the fact that the side effects of the product have not been tested before. According to the report of investigative journalist Heidi Stevenson, the Gardasil vaccine consists of two additive ingredients that can damage the female reproductive system. These two ingredients are L-histidine and polysorbate 80. In addition, Professor Henri Joyeux does not encourage the taking of this vaccine.
According to him, the smear is the surest way to prevent cancer of the cervix because it can detect risky lesions
