Never Get Flu Shots

[Guest guest]

This needs to be reposted....ladies, be careful with your health.http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2000/11/26/flu-shots-part-two.aspxWhy I Never Get Flu Shots by Chet DayReprinted with permission from Chet Day's Health & Beyond Every year about this time, quite a few people write me and ask,"My Doctor tells me to get my annual flu shot. Should I do it?" Well,

I don't diagnose or prescribe, and what you do with yourbody remains

entirely up to you and your doctor (if you still go to adoctor), but

I'll gladly tell you what I do regarding flu shots...I avoid them like the plague.In

fact, at age 52, I've never had a flu shot, and it would take aMarine

nurse and at least four burly wrestlers the size of JessieVentura to

hold me down and give me one.Perhaps you already sense I have strong feelings about flu shots?These feelings stem from personal opinion, reading, and dramatic personal experience.First

off, I don't think toxic chemicals and virus strains grown onliving

tissue belong in the human body, even when they're packaged insterile

glass vials.Since my family and I don't rely on doctors anymore,

I don't haveaccess to an insert that reveals the composition of this

year's fluvaccine, but I did find some general information at the Concerned Parents for Vaccine Safety web site, where I learned about some of the ingredients used to make vaccines.Do you want any of the following vaccine constituents 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 associatedwith Alzheimer's disease and seizures and also

cancer producing inlaboratory mice (it is used as an additive to

promote antibodyresponse) 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. Vaccines

are also grown and strained through animal or human tissuelike monkey

kidney tissue, chicken embryo, embryonic guinea pig cells,calf serum,

and human diploid cells (the dissected organs of abortedhuman fetuses

as in the case of rubella, hepatitis A, and chickenpoxvaccines).Well,

I refuse to put all of the above in my body, and I hope whenyour doctor

starts telling you it's time for your annual flu shot thatyou'll

require him to defend the annual injection. You or yourinsurance

company's probably paying eighty bucks for a visit, so getyour money's

worth.Have your doctor read you the insert that comes with the vaccine.Then

have him/her explain why it makes sense to inject toxicchemicals into

the human body and how such substances can aid thedelicate immune

system.Related Stories:Six Ways to Avoid the Winter Flu - And Flu Shot Isn't One of ThemRisks of FluMist Vaccine Beware of Colds If You Are Under Stress Chances

are he/she will fall back on questionable statistical anddemographic

explanations that the medical establishment has used fordecades to

justify immunization.Try to engage your doctor in a

non-confrontational discussionbecause this is an opportunity for

him/her to actually give someserious thought to what he/she is

injecting into bodies of patients dayafter day after day.Many

traditional doctors who haven't studied diet and lifestylearen't going

to change unless we help to educate them to what drugs andvaccines may

really be doing long-term to people.Okay, to speak from personal

experience for a moment, let's lookover our shoulders to 1990, a time

period before the Day family turnedto natural methods of building

health.In February of 1990, right after my wife's major cancer surgery in January, her doctor recommended a flu shot.Almost immediately after the injection, my wife started feeling ill.Overnight she came down with the worst case of flu she'd ever had.She went to bed and literally didn't get up again for more than a few hours at a time for years afterwards. Only now, almost a decade later, is she finally regaining full health and energy.I don't have space or enough heart yet to tell my wife's entire story, though I'll do it one of these days, but if you'll click here,you

can read an article written by another CFIDS sufferer, an articlethat

shows the cause and effect connection between flu vaccines andterrible

immune disorders.Okay, I'm a realist so if was still thinking

traditionally, part ofme would almost buy into the typical rationale

for flu vaccines, thatso many people are spared the annual flu and only

a few die or havetheir lives ruined after being injected.I'd buy into that if I were convinced that injecting a filthy substance into the body actually made sense.Unfortunately,

once I stopped buying into the big medical lies abouttheir drug, cut,

and burn system, I started questioning all of it.And when one

digs into the vaccine history (check out the Swine Fluvaccine if you

want a real horror story) and scientific research(especially in

Europe), it quickly becomes apparent that nobody really knows what these toxic stews of chemicals and microorganisms do in the human body.Well,

readers and a few medical professionals have called me asimple-minded

dolt on more than one occasion, but since 1993 I'veapproached the

yearly flu shot hype with the understanding that if Ieat and live

properly, I won't have to worry about catching the flu. The flu vaccine I use -- eating and living as close to nature as I can -- actually works.Not

only that, but it doesn't cost a dime, and nobody's going tohave

his/her life ruined because of a "bad batch" of vaccine thattriggers

some mysterious autoimmune disease that lays a person out ofcommission

for years.But let's say you don't want to eat and live close to nature.Okay,

I can understand that, but my next question would be "Which isbetter?

Some rest time with the flu or having toxic chemicals injectedinto your

bloodstream?"I mean, seriously, before I got healthy I almost

looked forwardto a yearly bout with influenza because it meant I could

go to bed andget some rest instead of working practically every waking

moment of mylife.I might add that I haven't missed more than two consecutive days of work from an illness for almost five years,so

a non-vaccine approach does work for me. This non-drug approach

hasresulted in a level of health that continually amazes me,

especiallywhen I see other men and women my age who are miserable and

withoutenergy. Men and women who spend all too much of their time

driftingfrom doctor to doctor in endless pursuit of solutions that

don't get tothe cause of their problems -- diet and life style.Revolutionary New Krill for Women — Perfect for Female HealthFind Out More Dr. Mercola's Comments: Chet Day is right on target here. He is one of the few newsletter writers that I am in virtual 100% agreement with. I

have heard some authors state that there is a directcorrelation of the

number of flu shots one has and the incidence ofAlzheimer's. This would

be due to the aluminum and mercury that is putin every flu shot.I

could not agree more with his recommendations. I am fond ofproviding

the following answer to people who ask me if they should geta flu shot.I tell them "Only if they want to get the flu".I am glad to see Chet has gone for five years without missing two consecutive days of work. In the last 20 yearsthough,

I have not missed one day of work due to an illness. Now mydiet and

lifestyle program has NOT always been perfect, far from it.But for the

most part I am following an optimized program.The only

miracle here though is that God has given us suchwonderful bodies that

if even come close to following an optimal diet,exercise and rest, we

will have a high likelihood of immunity fromillness.Related Articles: Flu Shot is Not Cost Effective For Adults But is For Children?
