Six good reasons to Avoid getting the "Flu" Shot
Contributed by: Dr. Arvay   on 11/10/2008

By: Sheryl Walters

Every year it is reccomended that people get a flu shot to avoid spending time feeling horrendously bad over the winter. Elderly people are especially warned that without a flu shot, their health could be in serious jeopardy. In recent years, this warning has been extended to children, and more recently even teenagers. Yet there is mounting evidence that flu shots do not guarantee a healthy winter, and in fact they cause far more harm than good.

Here are 6 reasons to avoid getting the flu shot.

1. There is absolutely no evidence that flu shots actually work. The flu shot is only able to protect against certain strains of the flu, so if you come into contact with a strain you are not protected from, then you will still get the flu. This is in fact not uncommon. In 2004, The National Vaccine Information Center reported that the vaccine given that year did not contain theflu strain that caused the majority of flu outbreaks that year . A study published in the Lancet in August revealed that there was no correlation between the flu shot and reduced risk of pnemonia. Further a large study of 260,000 children between 23month and 6 discovered that the flu vaccine is no more effective than a placebo. This was reported in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews.

2. The flu vaccines as well as other vaccines contain Mercury, which is a seriously health compromising heavy metal. Vaccines contain Thimerosal, which is made up of Mercury. The amount of Mercury contained in a multi-dose flu shot is 250 times higher in Mercury than what is legally classified as hazardous waste. Side affects of Mercury toxicity are vast and include depression, memory loss, attention defecit disorder, anger, oral cavity disorders, digestive disorder, anxiety, cardiovascular problems, respiratory issues, thyroid and other glandular imbalances, and low immune system to name a few.

3. The flu vaccines contain antibiotics such as neomycin, polymyxin B, and gentamicin which are added to eliminate stray bacteria found in the mixture. Evidence shows that antibiotics wipe out beneficial bacteria that is needed for optimum health. Antibiotics ironically lower the immune system and cause candida overgrowth.

4. Vaccines contain Polsorbate 80 as an emulsifier. This highly toxic agent can seriously lower the immune system and cause anaphylactic shock which can kill. According to the MSDS sheet at Science lab.com, section 11, polysorbate 80 may cause reproductive effects, cancer, and may be a mutagenic, (change the genetics), in animals. According to PubMed.Gov, neonatal rats that were injected with small doses of polsorbate 80 had serious damage to their reproductiveorgans, often resulting in infertility. Imagine that are reccomending this for young girls! It's no wonder that the infertility rate is skyrocketing each and every year.

5. There is growing evidence that flu shots cause Alzheimers disease due to the aluminum and formaldehyde combined with mercury since they are more toxic together than they are alone. Some research suggests that people who receivedthe flu vaccine each year for 3 to 5 years had 10 times greater chance of developing Alzheimer's disease than people who did not have any flu shots.

6. With so many potential side effects, it seems clear that the flu shot is potetially dangerous while not making a difference anyway. In addition, it is also completely unnecessary. Everything that we need to enjoy amazing health is right here on planet earth. Nothing man made is ever, ever needed in order to ward off illness and live vibrantly.

Here are some powerful ways that you can ensure you don't get the flu this year, without injecting yourself with extremely toxic flu shot.

*Make sure that you get plenty of sunshine over the winter. Research continually indicates that the winter flu is often a result of vitamin D deficiency from lack of sun. If you live in a place without sunshine, take cod liver oil, find a place that offers sunshowers (natural tanning beds), and if it is sunny go outside as much as you possibly can no matter how cold it is. Raw unpasterized milk is another vitamin D abundant food.

*Exercise, exercise, exercise! When you get out and get your body moving, you are much less likely to get sick. Yoga for example is a fabulous way to get fit, relieve stress, and boost the immune system.

*Eat plenty of immune boosting foods such as garlic, vitamain C containing fruits and fresh green juices (broccoli, cabbage, cucumber and celery.) A diet rich in live foods is a sure way to stay healthy all year long.

*Cut out sugar. Sugar supresses the immune system and causes disease. Today there are so many wonderful healthy alternatives such as agave nectar and xylitol that it is totaly unnecessary to ever consume sugar.

*Deal with emotional stress. Anger and stress suppress the immune system.
Yoga, meditation, counseling, naturaltherapies, and plant medicines can transform stress and help you live with abundant health in mind and body.

*Get plenty of sleep. A lack of sleep suppresses the immune system, but this is reality for millions of people. Find ways to make life less hectic so that you have more time to catch those zzzs.


A note from Dr. Joe: Every time you get adjusted there is an immune boosting effect that makes your body a flu fighter. Get adjusted and avoid the flu!!
