Avoid the Flu Shot

Why, you ask? The flu shot is just a way for the pharmacuetical industry to make money off your fears. The flu shot is only around 30% effective in preventing influenza. Side effects and toxic chemicals in the flu vaccine make protecting yourself through healthy lifestyle choices safer. According to Dr. Mercola.com, toxic ingredients in vaccines include:

  • Ethylene glycol (antifreeze)
  • Phenol, also known as carbolic acid (this is used as a disinfectant, dye)
  • Formaldehyde, a known cancer-causing agent
  • Aluminum, which is associated with Alzheimer's disease and seizures and also cancer producing in laboratory mice (it is used as an additive to promote antibody response)
  • Thimerosal (a mercury disinfectant/preservative) can result in brain injury and autoimmune disease
  • Neomycin and Streptomycin (used as antibiotics) have caused allergic reaction in some people.

Vaccines are processed with animal or human tissue, which is too disgusting to even get into. So, if you are vegetarian or vegan for ethical reasons, vaccines are not for you.

Thermosal in vaccines is linked to autism. Funny, how autism rates have skyrocketed along with the use of vaccines on children. In most countries, thermosal is banned. While it has been phased out of most vaccines in this country, thermosal is still present in routine vaccinations given to newborns.

Due to all the risks associated with the flu vaccine and others, I suggest protecting yourself from disease in other ways. It is important to get plenty of rest, eat a balanced diet, plus get a little sunlight and excercise everyday. You can greatly reduce your risk of cold & flu by washing your hands regularly, taking appropriate dietary suppliments, and finding ways to reduce stress; like meditation, listening to relaxing music, or practicing yoga.
