What do you know about the flu vaccine? Don’t believe what you hear. Here is some of what I know:
1) Common vaccine ingredients that you do not want in YOUR bloodstream?
- Ethylene glycol (antifreeze)
- Phenol, also known as carbolic acid (this is used as a disinfectant, dye)
- Formaldehyde, a known cancer-causing agent
- Aluminum, which is associated with Alzheimer's disease and seizures and also cancer producing in laboratory mice (it is used as an additive to promote antibody response)
- Thimerosal (a mercury disinfectant/preservative) can result in brain injury and autoimmune disease
- Neomycin and Streptomycin (used as antibiotics) have caused allergic reaction in some people.
2) Vaccines are also grown and strained through animal or human tissue like monkey kidney tissue, chicken embryo, embryonic guinea pig cells, calf serum, and human diploid cells (the dissected organs of aborted human fetuses as in the case of rubella, hepatitis A, and chickenpox vaccines). Want that junk in your body?
3) The number of deaths arising from the flu are statistically inaccurate and misleading, to say the least. But, with good advertising and the right blend of “scare tactics” people will take almost anything. $$$$
4) The odds of picking the right strain of virus among all the possibilities is like a bad trip to Las Vegas, it is a huge gamble. In addition, what about the mutated strain that no one has any experience with? This has happened many times over the last several years… the “scientists” picked the wrong strain to emerge, made the vaccine anyways, and then promoted sales under the premise that “well, it’s better than nothing”. Are you kidding me? Yet, the sale of flu shots hit all time highs every year.
5) People do die from the flu. People also die from taking the flu vaccine! Allergic reactions to all types of medicines- including the flu shot is not something you will hear a lot about. After all, where is the $$$ in sharing that info with the public, i.e. commercials, warnings in print and media, etc?
6) More people in the practice got sick last year, who got the flu shot, compared to those that did not!
7) What you MUST understand is that people are dying from the flu because they are already sick and have compromised immune systems. The ultimate treatment for the flu is proactive prevention – there is no side effect with this method. Eat the right foods, avoid the junk, get plenty of rest, stay well adjusted, and stay emotionally balanced - and you and the flu symptoms will likely never meet.
As far as doing my best to not get sick… I would rather have a shot of seltzer water than a cocktail of dangerous chemicals that statistically have a higher chance of making me sick than offering a “cure”!
