Greetings!

Recently, I started noticing flu shot "clinic" signs all over the place- pharmacies, apartment complexes, the airport! It has actually been a bit shocking and not a day goes by without some mention of the potential upcoming "epidemic" and what the government and pharmaceuticals are going to do about it.

I think it is really important to share my experience and research with you, so you can decide what YOU are going to do about it!

I see more people get the flu with the influenza shot, than those who have not. Go figure.

I will try not to get on my soapbox and be the ranting ND with this issue, but honestly, it really makes me mad. I think the vaccines are a racket, and our kids are about to be used as guinea pigs. To vaccinate or not to vaccinate is a very personal choice, but one that I think should be done having lots of information.

So in this installment of How to Stay Healthy this Winter, Part II, I will be, or rather I will let some experts shine some light on this matter. To vaccinate or not to vaccinate is a very personal choice, but one that I think should be done having lots of information.  In this case, I think the risks outweigh the benefit.

Next week, I will cover Alternatives to the Flu Vaccine- How to Prevent and Treat the Flu Naturally- for kids and adults. It is quite simple and definitely effective. So stay tuned.

And a pleasant reminder to you all-my SF Essential Cleanse class starts this Wednesday October 14th.

Remember, healthcare reform starts with you, but you gotta know what to do.

Flu Vaccinations: More Harm than Good

Ok, so the flu is not fun, but for the most part, it is a very manageable and non-life threatening illness for most of us in the civilized world. So why are people in such a panic over it?

I honestly can't answer this question without getting into conspiracy theory sort of stuff, but what vaccineI can do is give you information about the "regular" influenza and H1N1 ("swine" flu) vaccinations, and why I think they are more harmful than the actual flu itself.

Please note that I do recognize that the fevers that can accompany the flu can be scary. And the flu can be dangerous for those with respiratory weaknesses, like asthma. There are great ways to support the respiratory tract naturally, so I encourage you to consult with your friendly local naturopathic doctor if this is a concern for you or your loved ones. 

In general, the vaccine topic is a loaded and complex issue, and one that I really encourage parents to educate themselves about, rather than going with the flow. To vaccinate or not to vaccinate has to be a personal choice, but when it comes to the flu, I feel there is way more bad than good.

A Toxic Crapshoot

According to the CDC, "Each year's influenza vaccine is made up of three strains of the virus, based on an educated guess of which viruses will be most active during the upcoming influenza season. Three strains out of thousands of influenza subtypes and strains.  Often the vaccines do not match up with the strain that is going around.

So what's in it besides the 3 strains? Here is a great comedic and fairly accurate explanation.  What's in a Flu Shot?


Safe until proven dangerous.  Huh?


How about questionable until proven safe? Here is a video from the National Vaccine Information Council, a vaccine watchdog group, run by a very articulate and informed mother whos child suffered a vaccination injury. She talks about the fastracking of the H1N1 vaccine and how children are going to be the first ones to receive this experimental vaccine without clear scientific evidence that they are safe.  Also lays down some basic prinicples and guidelines that all parents and adults should know about when receiving vaccinations.  Part of the issue with random clinics all over the place is the lack of tracking of potential side effects and lack of record keeping in one's medical chart.


Thimerisol- What is it? Didn't they stop using it?


Nope, both the influenza and multi-dose H1N1 vaccines contain Thimerisol.  Thimerisol is an adjuvant that contains mercury amongst other toxic substances.  Thimerisol acts not only as a preservative, but it's toxic nature actually helps to increase the production of anti-bodies to the virus. This is a great video where Robert Kennedy Jr. discusses the impact of Thimerisol on children. Older generations got a maximum of 20 vaccinations over a lifetime.  Kids today get an average of 40 vaccinations, and they start at birth with thimerisol containing vaccines.  They are receiving approximately 400x the FDA's approved safe amount of mercury. We know that mercury has been implicated in autism, learning disorders and immune dysfunction, just to name a few.

Is the H1N1 ("Swine") Flu Vaccine Necessary?
Did you know the H1N1 flu is actually getting weaker and is less intense than the regular seasonal flu?  Here is an MD infectious disease specialist weighing in and saying he would not give his kids the H1N1 vaccine.
