Guest guest Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Hi, Tea Tree Oil and Melaluca are the same essential oil...a good inexpensive brand is Wyndmere which can be had at some health food stores and possibly Whole Foods. -mary In a message dated 11/07/09 12:49:23 Mountain Standard Time, thesweetattack@... writes: where do you get it, and what brand...

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Kami..I was told by my rheumy that I needed the shot because the nasal has the live vaccine and I can't have that. I got both the flu and the H1N1 shot this year. Hugs..a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Hi Kami....that is a shame. Other places seem to have an overabundance of both. and you can't get one of the injections. I know alot of schools around my area and giving the shots. Hope you find someplace. and don't forget to fill out the registration form or you'll have to do it where you get your shot. it just makes it go faster. You can get that form online at the flu.gov sites....or wherever you get info on the shots. Hugs..a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I am calling around today as well. The problem I have found was that there seems to be an overabundance of the INTRANASAL vs shot. My doctor told me he would be getting it in late January but could not guarantee it would be the shot! *~ Kami ~* [ ] h1n1 I have an appointment to get my H1N1 shot today. It was pretty frustrating -- the Arthritis Foundation recommends we get them, but they weren't available to me because I'm 65. Then they opened it up to everyone, but not much vaccine was available. So I'm driving to another suburb to get mine today. Whew! dd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Hi, I finally got my H1N1 on Friday at Walgreens. They told me they wouldn't last the weekend with the quantity they have so I made an appt. for my mom, who is 86 to have one. I went home and got her, now we are both all set. Heidi in Mass.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 For some reason, PA has decided to allow the Dept of Health to distribute the vaccination which means they can pick and choose who gets what. Right now, the only thing available is intranasal and we all know that is a big no no..... I guess I will just continue to wait and HOPE that they get some shots!!!! *~ Kami ~* [ ] H1N1 Go to flu.gov site and there you will get answers to your questions and also find out areas that will be giving out the flu vaccine. You can also call your local health clinic and they may be able to find locales for you. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Hi a, I had to pay $18.00 for mine, but at this point I don't care anymore. I had checked with my Drs. office and they don't know when they'll be getting another round, it would have been free there. It didn't cost anything for my mother there as she has Medicare. CVS and RiteAid are doing them as well, just call first to make sure they still have them and to lock in an appt. Walgreens has been very organized, there has been no line, just go fill out the paperwork, and be done. Good Luck! Heidi in Mass. [ ] H1N1 Hi..I did hear walgreens has the shots in. did they charge you for them or were they free? Hugs..a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I used flu.gov . They have a flu locator that can be used to find out where it is available. Joyce M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 I would avoid the vaccination at all costs. There has been a ton of info posted on the WWW about the pros & cons of vaccination. Just do a Google search for swine flu vaccination and you will see.... hth Kendra On Sun, Jan 10, 2010 at 12:03 AM, ine Helfenstein <phelfen1@...> wrote: > Hi, > > what are your thoughts about getting the swine flu vaccinations, when one is not doing well with Lyme? > > ine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Amazing this story is in the mainstream media! The investigation centers on drug companies that pressured the WHO to declare a pandemic so they could rake in billions. Who didn't know this? Just to add to the info base... I fought with my son's doctors and employers, who all wanted him to get a shot (and of course, me too). Didn't happen and isn't happening. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,582749,00.html .

I think from what I have heard that the government is going to soon make it manditory for everyone to have it. That means just like the shots kids have to have before school starts, if they don't get it, they can't go to school. I am prepared that if it comes to that, my kids will NOT get the H1N1 shot and they will not go to school! I've read and heard way too many things about what it has in it and I saw a YouTube video of a girl who took the shot and now she can no longer walk forwards, but backwards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Cindi, I love the fact that you feel the way you do about taking the H1N1 vaccine. This vaccine, no matter if we have Lyme or not, will destroy not only our bodies neurologically but also our children. Vaccines are not mandatory in this country, yet if your child hasn't had them up to date, they are not allowed in school. What is up with that? I went to YouTube today and put in H1N1 vaccine and came up with all kinds of videos related to it and how damaging it can be. I urge everyone with or without Lyme to please educate yourselves for your families sake. Even if it comes down to our children not going to school or you not going to your job because the government requires everyone to have it, DO NOT TAKE IT! Don't ask me how we will all deal with that issue, I have no clue. All I know is that we can't stand by and take something that THEY know is going to destroy us! Gosh, I hope I don't sound like a crazy person, I'm really not! I just feel really strong about this subject. Sorry if I went on a tangent! a ________________________________ From: Cindi Callanan <cindicallanan@...> Sent: Mon, January 11, 2010 1:11:43 PM Subject: Re: [ ] H1N1  Amazing this story is in the mainstream media!

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Dr. Mercola posted an article about H1N1 vaccine that also showed it's only 25% effective. So, everyone who gets the vaccine is exposed to all the toxins in it, yet only 1 out of 4 people who get it are even protected from the H1N1 flu. Yet everyone is being pushed to get the vaccine. Ridiculous the control vaccine companies have.
