Cause of the Obesity, Type 2 Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome Epidemics, Vaccine Induced Immune Overload versus Nutrition Overload

There is an epidemic of obesity, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome and associated conditions. Patients with these conditions often have markers of increased inflammation. Many researchers have published that nutrition overload caused the epidemic of obesity and the associated inflammation which leads to type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. A contrasting view has provided extensive evidence that vaccine induced immune overload has caused an epidemic of inflammation and this inflammation caused epidemics of obesity, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. The data reviewed in these manuscripts provides proof that immune overload, not nutrition overload has been the major contributing factor for the epidemics and inflammation associated with the epidemics. Several lines of evidence are reviewed including evidence that inflammation precedes obesity in many patients, the lack of inflammation in many obese patients, an epidemic of inflammation in thin patients, and an epidemic of obesity in children under 6 months of age. The failure to control the obesity epidemic is blamed on the focus on nutrition and ignoring the root cause, vaccine induced immune overload. Once a patient has developed metabolic syndrome with type 2 diabetes providers are too frequently subjecting their patients to further immune overload by administering yearly influenza vaccines and many other vaccines. This action makes metabolic syndrome more difficult to reverse. The plan to reduce obesity must be focused on preventing immune overload and not blaming patients for their diet. The epidemic of obesity can be reversed through discontinuation of vaccine practices that result in immune overload.
