HEALTH TIP FOR THE WEEK:
The verdict is out on flu shots. Many medical experts now agree it is more important to protect yourself and your family from the flu vaccine than the flu itself. Let’s take a look at the reasons behind this verdict:
1.)
There is a total lack of real evidence that young children even
benefit from flu shots. A systematic review of 51 studies involving
260,000 children age 6 to 23 months found no evidence that the flu
vaccine is any more effective than a placebo. Also the shots are only
able to protect against certain strains of the virus, which means that
if you come into contact with a different strain of virus you will
still get the flu.
2.)
Medical journals have published thousands of articles revealing that
injecting vaccines can actually lead to serious health problems
including harmful immunological responses and a host of other
infections. This further increases the body’s susceptibility to the
diseases that the vaccine was supposed to protect against.
3.)
Ever noticed how vaccinated children within days or few weeks develop
runny noses, pneumonia, ear infections and bronchiolitis? The reason is
the flu virus introduced in their bodies which creates these symptoms.
It also indicates immuno-suppression i.e. lowering of the immunity.
The flu vaccines actually do not immunize but sensitize the body
against the virus.
4.)
Its a known fact that Flu vaccines contain strains of the flu virus
along with other ingredients. Now think about the impact such a vaccine
can have over someone with a suppressed immune system? If you have a
disease that is already lowering your body’s ability to fight a virus,
taking the flu shot will put your body in danger of getting the full
effects of the flu and make you more susceptible to pneumonia and other
contagious diseases.
5.)
The Flu vaccines contain mercury, a heavy metal known to be hazardous
for human health. The amount of mercury contained in a multi-dose flu
shot is much higher than the maximum allowable daily exposure limit.
Mercury toxicity can cause memory loss, depression, ADD, oral health
problems, digestive imbalances, respiratory problems, cardiovascular
diseases and many more such serious health ailments.
And what about the elderly? Can the flu vaccine help them?
6.)
There is mounting evidence that flu shots can cause Alzheimer’s
disease. One report shows that people who received the flu vaccine
each year for 3 to 5 years had a 10-fold greater chance of developing
Alzheimer’s disease than people who did not have any flu shots. Also
with age the immune system weakens, thus lowering your ability to fight
off infections. Introducing the flu virus in the bodies of elderly
could have dangerous consequences.
Can we trust the authorities who are promoting the wide-spread use of flu vaccines?
7.)
The Center for Disease Control appoints a 15-member Advisory Committee
on Immunization Practices (ACIP). This committee is responsible for
deciding who should be vaccinated each year. Almost all the ACIP have a
financial interest in immunizations. It’s all about the money and may
have very little to do with your health and well being. The very
people pushing these vaccines stand to make billions of dollars. This
itself creates a doubt on how effective these flu vaccines really are?
8.)
Research shows that over-use of the flu-vaccine and drugs like Tamiflu
and Relenza can actually alter flu viruses and cause them to mutate
into a more deadly strain. Couple this with drug resistant strains and
you have virtually no benefits with much risk.
9.)
There is enough evidence that shows that the ingredients present in
the flu vaccinations can actually cause serious neurological disorders.
In the 1976 swine flu outbreak, many who got the flu shots developed
permanent nerve damage. Flu vaccines can contain many harmful materials
including detergent, mercury, formaldehyde, and strains of live flu
virus. Is this what you want to put in YOUR body?
10.)
Trying to guess what strain to vaccinate against each season has
proved to be no more effective than a guessing game. This has been
very true in recent years with the H1N1 strain. Moreover getting
multi-shots will only prove more dangerous as different strains of
viruses and harmful ingredients are introduced into your body.
Flu
shots are indeed more dangerous than you could think, and it is best
to rely on natural ways to protect against the flu rather than getting
yourself vaccinated.
Isn’t
it interesting that the main stream public health officials never
promote the various proven ways to avoid the flu other than through
vaccination? How about spending some of the billions of advertising
dollars teaching us natural ways to boost our immune systems and avoid
the flu without harmful and sometimes deadly vaccinations.
