heres another real life story

my dad always took the flu, he's in his fifties approaching the 60s. every year my mom forced him to take the free flu vaccine at work. then i told them to stop and now he never feels sick or hardly is a better word. my dad also states that he's happy and also complained at how my mom forced him to take it causing him to be sick for several days after getting the vaccine.

For me i never took the vaccine cause i was chicken with needles. varicella vaccine i had to take bc it was required for college. flu for me i will never take ever!

Dr. Bob Marshalll of Round Rock TX, past pres. of the Int'l and Amer Assn of Clinical Nutritionists says studies done outside the U.S. show that if you take Nucleotides when you first have signs of a cold or flu the symptoms will be gone in one day or less. If the problem gets a grip on you it will take about three days. Marshall is at www.prlabs.cc He is presently training health professionals (many of which are M.D.s) all over the U.S. in alt hlth practices. He has Nucleotides. Gary Burgess

Thank you, Dr. Mercola, for your research on the flu virus. This will be the first year I H A V E N O T

T A K E N A F L U S H O T, A N D I A M P R O U D!!!!!!!!! I now join the ranks of my husband and my mother-in-law, who did not live to be the age of 90 by taking vaccinations, including the flu shot. She eats right, takes MELALEUCA Vitamins and has the good sense to stay in when viruses are out there. She is still quite active. My husband and I need to make an appointment to visit her, phone her and she babysits her 2 year old GREAT-granddaughter, regularly. Quite remarkable, isn`t it??

While Vitamin D may indeed be an effect way to fight and or prevent the flu, take a look at this study which suggests that flu shots do indeed work to prevent its occurrence and dangerous effects. Check it out at:

I worked in a skilled nursing facility as a CNA and saw the upswing of illnesses after patients received their vaccinations. Another misuse of medications occurs in assisted living facilities. The medications there are distributed by caregivers who are not trained and not even CNAs. When I worked in assisted living facilities, I often found that those distributing medications bordered on illiteracy. The caregiver will force the helpless resident of that facility to take their medication because if the resident refuses, then the caregivers ability to do her job will be questioned by management or even her coworkers. There are more and more assisted living facilities being built and more people, who already feel insecure about their aging issues, are being placed into a community where they feel the social pressure to get flu shots or whatever else is the pharma industry's latest money making system.

Even if I wasn't a biased, yet informed doctor (chiropractor), the evidence against vaccines (outside of medically based data), shows that the immunization information out there is bunk. I have an anthropological background and if you follow the decline of the prevalence and incidence of any disease, you will find that it directly cooresponds with the introduction and refinment of public health technologies. Clean water and not being surrounded by poop go a long way in building health. GO FIGURE!! It is only after WWII that the pharmeutical takes credit for this 200+ year long trend.

I will also pose this question: If I tell people (patients or not) not to get vaccinated-what do I gain? Answer- NOTHING, only healthier fellow human beings! One more question: When the pharma industry promotes, markets, leverages and scares people into vaccinations, what do they gain? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

does anyone know if the flu shot can lead to food allergies if administered too early in childhood?

thanks!

Both of my elderly parents had flu shots last winter...and both caught Flu'.

However, I do have trouble with the hypothesis of Flu' being a Vit D deficiency, since on that basis we would not see large flu outbreaks in sunny climes....and that is simply NOT the case!

"This explanation actually makes perfect sense..... (er, no it doesn't, sorry!)

The vitamin D formed when your skin is exposed to sunlight regulates the expression of more than 2,000 genes throughout your body, including ones that influence your immune system to attack and destroy bacteria and viruses. Hence, being overwhelmed by the “flu bug” could signal that your vitamin D levels are too low, allowing the flu virus to overtake your immune system."

Since almost dying of pneumonia as an infant I have had annual flu shots most of my life - and up until my teens so did everyone in the family.

I know my youngest brother has been dyslexic his whole life - but I would be so upset if these shots contributed to the remaining 'ics' in my family :(

It's too bad that they probably spread their lovely flu viruses by dropping them from a plane.

I am a nurse who does not believe in many things in conventional medicine. I have watched countless cancer patients die from so-called "treatment" and not the cancer. You can choose to believe the brainwashed ideology from authoritarian white coats or you can pick up books and studies and sprout your own decision-making tree. The flu shot is wreckless and only provides a number of companies with more profits. After caring for a Guillian-Barre patient who developed the GB from a flu shot, I have always denounced the blasted thing. No matter what the field, whether nursing, engineering, etc., there will always be more sheep than leaders because it's the lazy way out. No amount of money or big-named advice is worth the risk of mercury in your body.

I worked with an ex-Air Force engineer who told me that as a rule, he never got a flu shot, because while he was in the service, he had gotten sicker that ever before in his life after receiving a mandatory shot. Around 1998 I got the first flu shot in my life during a "health fair" at the company where we both worked. I ended up feeling achy, listless and generally sick for about six weeks after that, ruining half of November and all of December for me. What''s the point? Get the flu for real and feel rotten for six weeks, or get a flu shot and feel rotten for six weeks. I'll never get a flu shot again.

Am I the only one who'd rather suffer through having the flu than risk suffering through these things that are much, much worse (and more permanent)?

A physician told me that they stopped putting murcury in the flu shots! interesting huh? and you say that there are safe tanning beds? I have never heard of a "safe" tanning bed...I thought they were all harmful. I'll have to find this link on your website.

thanks

I only got one flu shot and developed flu like symptoms when I had it. I felt it wasn't worth it anymore so I stopped getting the flu shot. My brother is in the Armed Forces at the moment, and I don't know if he had been jabbed repeatedly. But as for myself, I don't need the flu shot to prevent me from getting the flu. Especially if I develop flu like symptoms. And with mercury being contained in vaccines, I totally avoid them.

One time, a nurse asked me if I had the Hepatitis B vaccine (i.e. genital Hepatitis); I lied and said I had it. But I didn't have it because of one reason -- I'm a virgin and I am unlikely of forming a lasting, long term relationship. Much less even buying the services of a prostitute (I have Asperger's Syndrome, and had it since I was first vaccinated).
