Do You Really Need a Flu Shot?

Do you really NEED a flu shot?

Each year the public is bombarded with the importance of getting their flu shot. The combination of the medical establishment, the media, and the government, are all telling you there is a possible flu epidemic just around the corner. They also tell you that the Flu will probably be worse this year then last.

Just drive down the street and you will see many shopping centers with signs out saying: Flu shots available here . A few weeks ago I was visiting in the Washington D.C. area and caught on a local T.V. broadcast where a local Maryland fair ground was going to have Drive-Thru Flu Shots ! Amazing!

Everyone involved with making sure you get your flu shot will tell you that it saves lives. Let’s take a closer look at this.

How many people really get the flu?

In a recent study conducted by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) it was found that only 13.4% of the people that were sick with flu like symptoms actually had the flu. The remaining had ILI, or "influenza like illness".

You see most people that complain of having fatigue, fever, aching muscles, and cough think they have flu. They do not. Instead they have a condition associated with many different "germs" such as rhinoviruses, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), adenoviruses, parainfluenza viruses, Legionella spp., Chlamydia pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Streptococcus pneumoniae. The point is these people have many of these illnesses but not the flu.

Is the flu shot effective?

Many, many studies that have been conducted by highly regarded publications have documented and concluded that flu shots are ineffective in humans of all ages. This point is of little regard to the organizations, groups and even our government who continue to promote the flu shots .

How many people Die of the Flu?

The media will tell you that 30,000 people die of the flu each year. This is just not true !

Government statistics lump flu and pneumonia deaths together. Flu deaths are only a small fraction of the total. In 2002 when flu plus pneumonia deaths were reported at 60,000 only 753 were from the flu . In 2001 only 267 people died from the flu . How can this justify the use of a dangerous untested vaccine to give to millions of people?

Want to Know What is Contained in a Flu Shot?

• There are 25 micrograms of mercury (thimerosal) per dose in most flu shots . The CDC has deemed that figure to be 5 times the maximum amount judged to be safe for a 110 lb. person. So why do the companies manufacturing these vaccines continue to put a chemical that is considered to be one of the most poisonous known in our flu shots ? A chemical that is proven to be poisonous to the brain, gut, liver, bone marrow and kidneys.Small amounts can cause nerve damage!

• Formaldehyde (formalin) One of the major components in embalming fluid . This substance is poisonous if ingested. It is a probable carcinogen . Formaldehyde has been linked to gastrointestinal, liver, reproductive system, immune system, and respiratory system poisoning. The types of cancers it is linked to are many including: lymphatic, nasopharynx, brain, colon, and also leukemia.

• Other compounds that are found in the flu shots  can cause anything from allergic reactions to mental retardation,  spermacides, and some are even being linked to cancer . Here are a few: Chicken embryos, Gentamicin sulfate & polymyxin b (antibiotics), sodium phosphate, gelatin,  Polysorbate 80, neomycin sulfate, Monosodium glutamate (MSG) Sodium deoxycholate,  octoxynol-10 (triton x-100) / octoxynol-9 ( polyethylene glycol-p-isoctylphenyl ether; octylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol, and of course beta propiolactone.

Are you sure you need a flu shot?

On a personal note: Go ask your doctor if they get a flu shot . Or, ask them if they give their children  a flu shot. I think their answer will surprise you, I know I sure was surprised at the answers I got from doctors I’ve  asked. It seems that they usually do not, or if they do, they make sure it is a mercury (thimerosal) free type.

Note: The Flu vaccine should not be given to anyone with a known systemic hypersensitivity to any component of the vaccine .

It should also be noted that it is very nearly impossible to know before exposure if a child or an adult is allergic to any thing in the vaccine . Ask parents of Autistic children about this. It’s a real eye opener.

Fortunately there are all natural health supplements from Waiora that have proven to detox the body of these heavy metals and toxins . NCD and Agarigold also is proven to break down viral components and boost your immune system . They can be administered safely in both child and adult doses on a daily basis and are quite effective at helping to reduce the body’s toxic burden.

Would you rather get a flu shot full of toxins that are proven to make you  ill, or try these proven, safe and effective, all natural products ?  You choose…
