Buck, my pneumonia came back when I stopped taking the antibiotic. But the homeopathic cough syrup totally got rid of it. Doctor told me I wasn't contagious so I went to program in the town flying hall. Sugar free lozenges kept coughing in check and if not, then I was only 3 blocks from home so could easily transfer myself. Last autumn I drank echinecea tea and that and healthier eating habits kept me from getting sick at all til the pneumonia this past August. Anyway, the flu shots have both mercury and aluminum in them and aren't necessarily helpful for the current flu happening. This is a controversial position on it.

Get one if you like, from an accredited place. I worked for a company once that offered us all the flu shot (many years ago when it was *really in vogue* to get one), and I was one of the employees that took them up on it. Came to find out, that the guy was a huckster and that was his Christmas con. He was featured in the paper and on the news and that is how us employees found out. I never did find out what he shot us up with, but it must have been safe. I haven't had a flu shot since :). ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com> wrote: So, what is wrong with getting flu shots? -Buck
