5. Why avoid excess vaccines?
From the moment a child is born she is literally injected with the belief that her immune system is not capable of doing its job properly without some artificial means like vaccinations and other drugs. Furthermore, nowadays the treatment for common childhood ailments consists mainly of allopathic drugs such as antibiotics. Of course, there may be times when such drugs are necessary, but all too often they could be substituted by a safer and more natural approach.

Swarn Bhasma preparation, ingredients, how to make:
Purified Gold leaf is ground with lemon juice, and applied with a paste of Rasasindhura (Mercurial compound). It is kept in a closed container, heated in absence of air in 400 – 500 degree Celsius for 4 -5 hours. To get Gold Bhasma. Studies shows that by classical bhasmikaran process as described in texts of Ayurveda,there is reduction in the particle size of gold to dimension of about nm. Swarna Bhasma is prepared by Putapaka method. This method involves mainly three steps i.e Shodhan (Purification of gold to haul out physical impurities), Bhavna (wet grinding for reduction of particle size) and Maran (incineration for further reduction in particle size under temperature). These procedures of Bhavna and Maran are repeated several times on the metal as the classical references. Atomic absorption spectroscopy revealed that Swarna Bhasma contain 92 % gold. Swarna Bhasma principally constituted to globular gold particle of nm.

13. Research
Research reveals that Swarna Bhasma possesses immunomodulatory, free radical scavenging activity, analgesic antistress activity and safe.
56-57 nm gold ash acts on peritoneal macrophages, phagocytic index, free- radical scavenging activity, brain catecholamines, 5 HT and plasma corticosterone levels.
(Pharmacol Toxicol., Indian J Med Res. Indian J Exp Biol. Immunopharmacol Immunotoxicol.)
Swarna (Gold) is one of the most non-reactive metals known to mankind till date. In this context for making the Swarna
therapeutically useful, there are mainly two requisites. First is reduction in particle size of the element. The second most important criteria is existence of metal in human body in ionic form.
Swarna Bhasma increased counts of peritoneal macrophages and stimulated phagocytic index of macrophages. Bajaj et al (2001)
Mitra et al (2002) evaluated the free- radical scavenging activity of Swarna Bhasma
Shah et al (2005) observed that Swarna bhasma restored restraint stress induced elevation in levels of brain catecholamines (norepinephrine, epinephrine and dopamine), 5 HT and plasma corticosterone to near normal levels.
Toxicity study shows that chronic administration of Swarna Bhasma is non toxic as judged by various laboratory and histological parameters.

It is a traditional Ayurvedic saying that one should not eat green leafy vegetables in the month of Shravan, curd (yogurt, dahi) in the month of Bhadon, milk in the month of Ashwin and pulses in the month of Kartik. 
In Shravan, as Vata or movement is aggravated. In bhadrapad curd and fermented products aggravates Pita.
