i had something a couple of years ago, not quite
sure what it was, but it put me down for two days. sweat, chills, stomach
problems, i slept probably 30 of that 48 hours, and i could hardly walk to the
kitchen for water. my mother thought it was extremely funny when i came out of
my room, leaned on the doorpost, and went crosseyed. if it hadnt been for the
sleeping, i think i might have gone nutty from the misery of
it.

Ken,
I have heard people
say that they had "a touch of the flu" or they missed work for a day or two
because they "had the flu. Marylynn's post at
one point includes the flu, with colds, as being "uncomfortable".
"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."
I
know what the flu can be. In February of 2005 I experienced the real deal. A
cough and fever turned to deliriums while a blizzard raged outside. I was
shivering constantly. The bed sheets were soaked with
sweat. My wife tells me I drank 2 gallons of fluid
(water, juice, Gatorade) a day, yet I don't remember urinating. I
didn't sleep, at least as I know sleep, for three days. When I closed my eyes,
lights flashes, scenes shifted, images morphed grotesquely; jet engines
wailed, dogs barked, and for hours on end, a two bar Robert Johnson phrase
played repeatedly. My head pounded; I coughed
andcoughed.
By the time
the roads were clear and I got to my doctor, I was greatly improved. The dogs
had stopped barking and I had slept a bit the night before. He said I had the
flu; "The real deal". Since I don't smoke, don't have asthma, or a history of
respiratory problems ..... in fact no history of illness, he let
me go home. I babbled a bit about what I had gone through. He said "You are
healthy and strong. You got the virus and for some reason your immune system
failed you. You succumbed and had to weather the full blast.You can see why
people die from it. It can be a killer."
I am scared by the flu ... "the real
deal". Though old (56), I'm hardly frail. I got a flu shot (1st time ever)
last year (Nov 2005), but am not getting one this year. "For some reason
your immune system failed you" sticks in my mind. I think I know
why my immune system failed me that time. I think I can avoid it now. I firmly
believe that good food and water, exercise, and sleep, along with stress
management and plenty of song and laughter are the cornerstones of good
health.
I certainly would not
criticize anyone, especially one who is frail (including a compromised immune
system) from getting a flu shot. I'll induce a mild fever, sweat and
detox with a 30 minute run each day, but keep tylenol or ibuprophen on
hand in case someone's fever starts to approach meltdown.
Best of Health to All,
Tom

I
guess you can read what you want to read, but I went to the CDC website and
they say that infleunza is responsible for an average of 36,000 deaths and
114,000 hospitalizations each year. Where does this woman get her
information? It's comforting to know that it is mostly frail, sickly,
unhealthy people die from the flu. As I get older and may become frail and
sickly I'll be very glad that a simple vaccine will be able to prevent my
premature demise. Ken

Personally, I never get the flu shot and now reading this tells me that
I've made some good choices in that matter. Mary Lynn Rev.

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.
