In a very interesting study (done on mice), researchers found that certain acupuncture points protected the brain from inflammation due to immune system activation (specifically it inhibited microglial activation). Some of the top brain scientists (e.g., Russell Blaylock, MD - neurosurgeon) believe that microglial cell activiation may be one of the causes of the wide variety of neurological disorders attributed to vaccinations. Therefore, if you would like to vaccinate your children but are worried about the risks, acupuncture may be one way to get the benefits of vaccination while minimizing the risk of adverse events. Please note that the timing may be important. In this study, treatments were administered 2 hours post injection and then every 48 hours thereafter for one week. The study used GB34 and Lr3.
