A discussion of ASIA which is the known autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants.  This is important information when considering vaccinations and immunizations that contain chemical adjuvants.  Reactions are known to happen and in some individuals can be quite severe and long-lasting.

Join JP Saleeby, MD  and  Roxanne Altman, FNP-C in this discussion of this condition.  Q&A will follow (live and archived).
