MD125, I didn't read the posts you are responding to (came in late on this conversation), but aren't they talking about the principles of immunization, adaptive immune response, or immunological memory,and not "pills" for blood pressure, etc.,e.g. (as/per Wikipedia) "A case of somatic genetic memory is the immunological memory of the adaptive immune response in vertebrates. The immune system is capable of learning to recognize pathogens and keeping a memory of this learning process, which is the basis of the success of vaccinations. Antibody genes in B and T lymphocytes are assembled from separate gene segments, giving each lymphocyte a unique antibody coding sequence leading to the vast diversity of antibodies in the immune system. If stimulated by an antigen (e.g. following vaccination or an infection with a pathogen), these antibodies are further fine-tuned via hypermutation. Memory B cells capable of producing these antibodies form the basis for acquired immunological memory.[4] Each individual therefore carries a unique genetic memory of its immune system's close encounters with pathogens. As a somatic memory, this is not passed on to the next generation. One Bavi MOA is alleged to be "unblocking" of the body's ability to immunize itself against a "non-self" cancer.
Pardon me if I've misinterpreted the thrust of the discussion....
