Special
Flu Shot Report
"Here
come the fear mongers...just in time for the flu vaccine marketing season.. Fear is used to persuade
Americans to roll up their sleeves and hand over their children to be
vaccinated. Years ago, people developed resistance the old
fashioned way: By getting the flu. And then
when that type of flu came around again years or decades later, they either
didn't get sick or had only a mild case. The vaccine marketeers
want to take that away from our population. What will that make us? Vaccine
dependent, of course." - Barbara Loe Fisher,
co-founder of the National
Vaccine Information
Center
Three important reasons to avoid the
flu shot:
- The flu shot contains formaldehyde, gelatin
and traces of chicken cells.
- The flu shot contains viral contaminants that have been linked to cancer.
- You can get the flu shot - and all the risks
that go with it - and still get the flu!

Another good reason to avoid the shot: to avoid Alzheimer's
Disease
According to Hugh Fudenberg,
MD, the world's leading immunogeneticist and 13th
most quoted biologist of our time (over 850 papers in peer reviewed
journals), if an individual has five consecutive flu shots
their chance of getting Alzheimer's is ten times higher! (1)
How does the flu shot
cause Alzheimer's? Dr. Fudenberg
states the mercury and aluminum in flu shots (and many childhood shots as
well as some RhoGam shots) cross the blood-brain
barrier causing brain damage. Alzheimer's is expected
to quadruple. Are flu shots the reason? (2)
Flu hysteria is on the way (again)
Reports claim that "Influenza kills 30,000 to
40,000 Americans every year." (3) That is simply not
the case. According to the Centers for Disease Control, the number of people who die of the flu are a fraction of
that. Here is what the CDC says:
In 2002: 753 died of the flu (4)
In 2001: 267 died of the flu (5)
In 2000: 2,175 died of the flu (6)
In 1999: 1,685 died of the flu (7)
Those who die of the flu are
mostly frail, sickly, weak, malnourished and unhealthy to begin with. For
people in reasonably good health, dying from the flu is, in fact, very rare -
research even shows the flu shot does not affect mortality of elderly people.
In conclusion - the flu shot is dangerous and useless.
Flu shot does not save lives
The ads say "The flu
shot saves lives," but research reveals it's
not so. The flu vaccine isn't preventing
death in the elderly, the "high risk group" that is told to get a
flu shot to reduce mortality, according to a study in the Archives of
Internal Medicine. (8)
Although immunization
rates in those over 65 have increased 50% in the past 20 years, there has
been no decline in flu-related deaths. In addition to ineffectiveness, the
flu shot's typical ingredients include aluminum (associated with Alzheimer's
and seizures), mercury (linked to brain damage, ADHD and autism) and phenol
(a carcinogen).
In fact, mortality rates
for those over 85 between 1968 and 2001 showed no change as well. The authors
add: "Studies substantially overestimate vaccination benefit"; a
diplomatic way of saying it's useless.
If you get the flu avoid aspirin
and TylenolT
Researchers found that flu
sufferers who took aspirin or acetaminophen (Tylenol) stayed sick an average
of 3.5 days longer than people who did not take the drugs.
The researchers discuss
the purpose of a fever and note how confused the medical profession is when
it comes to fever. "In spite of centuries of clinical experience and
recent intense investigation, it is still not clear whether fever is noxious
per se, or if the benefits of antipyretic therapy outweigh its costs."
(9)
Natural healthcare
providers have always understood the value of fever in fighting infection and
cleansing the body of toxins. This was recently underlined in a paper showing
the following:
The flu protects against cancer
In a research study
appearing in The Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology, scientists
discovered that those with a history of colds and flu also had less breast,
colon, rectal, stomach and ovarian cancer.
The association between.infectious diseases and cancer risk was
investigated. [Those with] carcinomas of the stomach, colon, rectum, breast,
and ovary.were interviewed. A history of common
colds or gastro-enteric influenza prior to the interview was
found to be associated with a decreased cancer risk. (10)
In another study, subjects
who reported a history of colds, flu and other infectious diseases had a 30%
reduction in risk of brain tumor. (11)
Natural healthcare
providers have traditionally warned against suppressing the symptoms of colds
and flu stressing that's how your body heals,
detoxifies and cleanses - which are protective against cancer.
Do you have a
caterpillar egg deficiency?
Researchers have
discovered that repeated vaccination at a young age substantially increases
the risk of influenza at older ages. This is possibly due to overall
weakening of the immune system. However, getting the infection naturally
appears to strengthen the immune system and decreases the risk of being
re-infected. Natural appears to be better. (13) Note: The authors did not
even look for Alzheimer's increases due to flu shots, a subject increasingly
under discussion.
Good news - majority not getting flu shot. Common sense is still
alive!
In a National Foundation
for Infectious Diseases survey conducted Aug. 31-Sept. 3, over half of those
interviewed said they would not get the flu shot. Among reasons cited: 43%
said the flu is not serious enough to warrant vaccination and 23% said they
still got the flu even after being immunized. (14)
In conclusion
Rather than see the flu, colds, fevers and
nasal discharge solely as uncomfortable, we should know that they operate in
our best interest: to heal us, to cleanse us and to detoxify us. Preventing
symptoms from expressing themselves may set us up for more
serious disease in the future. That doesn't
mean we should ignore a sick person. Illness is a time of rest and
recuperation. Ill people need comfort, proper nutrition and support.
Many people who wish to
avoid medical suppressive therapies such as aspirin, Tylenol, antihistamines,
decongestants and other drugs designed to prevent symptoms instead turn to
nutrition, chiropractic, homeopathy, naturopathy, acupuncture and many other
natural "expressive" healthcare systems so their bodies will get
the full benefit from their symptoms - cleansing, healing and improved
health.
