The Epidemiology Of Influenza

February 14, 2011 by  

The Epidemiology Of Influenza

Medical authority has dominance in the public mind because there is tight control of the press, medical publications and the medical profession.

Pharmaceuticals can skew results of research until it becomes a scam. Everything is the road to profits. Sickness is a trillion dollar industry. There is every monetary incentive to keep the sick industry on the front burner.

Nowhere is there any more deception than with influenza. Only God knows how much the pharmaceuticals make on vaccinations which much reliable research has proved to be worthless. Also vaccinations kill. Many seniors and children pay with their lives.

The position of the medical establishment, of course, is that flu is caused by germs transmitted and transferred from person to person. If this is true, there are questions that have to be answered:

  1. Why has influenza mortality of the aged not declined as their vaccination rates increased?
  2. Why is influenza seasonal and where is the virus between seasons and epidemics?
  3. Why do epidemics end abruptly?
  4. What explains the coincidental timing of epidemics in countries of similar latitudes?
  5. Why did epidemics in previous ages spread so rapidly, despite the lack of modern transportation?
  6. If influenza is highly infectious, why doesn’t direct inoculation of the virus cause universal illness?
  7. Why did influenza hospitalization and mortality rates for older Americans significantly increase in the 80s and 90s, during the same time that influenza vaccination rates for elderly Americans dramatically increased?

The truth is that the germ theory of disease is where monumental profits are. The germ theory teaches that flu is contagious for humans by touch, coughing and through the air.

Also the germ theory of influenza is a great diversion. It has diverted attention away from the human environment within. This is the condition of the human immune system. The difference in our immunity is the simple answer of why some of us get the flu and others don’t.

Finally, after 100 years of deception and trillions of profits from the germ theory, the profound and multiple effects vitamin D has on human immunity has burst out and liberated millions from influenza for all who will listen. Watch out!

The medical profession got shoved into recommending vitamin D3 because of so much public acceptance. But as always they try to sabotage what is not theirs. They do now recommend vitamin D, but not enough to even prevent rickets in children.

They promote 200 to 400 international units a day. This is not nearly enough to protect against influenza.

The public is closer to adequate therapy by taking up to 10 times the amount of vitamin D3 recommended by the medical establishment. People should consult with their alternative doctor on how much vitamin D3 to take.

Healthcare Rationing In The UK — This Is America’s Future Under Obamacare
The United Kingdom’s National Health Service needs $30 billion over the next three years. They intend to squeeze most of that money out of seniors by denying them medical care.

Now any senior who needs a hip or knee replacement or cataract surgery will have to wait at least four months instead of the present three weeks. Just wait for Obamacare.

Our hope is that the new people in the House and Senate will repeal Obamacare. That would be too good to be true. There’s not a chance it will happen, and little chance it will be overturned by the courts.

If only the people in the U.S. and the UK knew how much better off they would be without any medical care at all. Too many drugs, too many operations and too much staph infection are combining to kill millions all the time.

    I used to inspect pharmaceutical plants and they are literally hell on earth. There is no safe or effective drug. None. Each has to be processed by the liver which eventually gets compromised leading to different system breakdowns. Temporary relief from a drug just means there’s a price to pay later – which will be bigger. This article on the germ theory is interesting, but not complete. Bob’s statement: “The difference in our immunity is the simple answer of why some of us get the flu and others don’t” is not really correct. The complete story cannot be explained in a few sentences. To learn more about the germ theory and immunity misconceptions, read the book Everlasting Health (amazon). You will finally see why germs cannot cause disease and have no power over you – absolutely zero. Your health is 100% under your control. That is a good kind of freedom to finally realize.

  • suzzanne

    For Joyce,
    What are your opinions on Wellbutrin, Lamictol, and Seroquel?Are there dangerous side effects for long time use?As a former Chemist there must be a reason you believe we should all stay away from pharmaceuticals.Are there homeopathics that can replace theses meds?

    • karolyn

      There is the mind. There is TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine). There are homeopathics. There is meditation. There are herbs. Many ways under the sun to keep your body healthy.

  • barbm

    before flu season began, i read on here that, if you aren’t going to take a flu shot, take vitamin d3. i’ve never had a flu shot and, at age 62, i don’t plan on ever taking one. it normally takes 10 or more years to get a drug through the fda, but that h1n1 flu shot was ready in a couple of months. trust it? hell no!! i’ve been taking 2000 iu of d3 for months now and have had no illnesses. i take an extra 2000 iu if i’ve been around somebody who is ill or has been exposed to someone who is. the last 2 februarys, i was on 3 different steroids plus 3 other meds for bronchitis that almost turned into pneumonia. take your d3, you’ll be glad you did.

    • karolyn

      I’m taking 5000 iu of D3 and still started to get a cold. At the first signs of a scratchy throat, I started sucking on Zicam (zinc). Lo and behold! No more cold. It never really developed and what minor symptoms I had were gone within 2 days.

      • http://donthaveone Beberoni

        Karolyn, get of the Zicam now. There are thousands of lawsuits against their makers right now, as it has been proven to cause what is called Anosmia, which is a complete loss of the sense of smell, and most that get this, end up later with a complete loss of the sense of taste. You need to stop taking Zicam now and research this. Hope this gets to you before it does this to you.

    Patriot, There are some things doctors do because the lawyers say they must. However, having know some people who died from colon cancer and knowing the side affects of my own illness, I would definitely have to agree with the doctors on this. Sometimes it’s just down right prudent to stop something before it even thinks of starting. After all dead is dead.
    Doctors aren’t always the bad guys.

    • http://donthaveone Beberoni

      Your right, doctors are always the bad guys. But you better get a second opinion on something like this. First year cost when they tell you that you have colon cancer, is like 34,000.00. Myself, Ive never had a colon check, and if I did, which I wont, and they told me I have cancer, they would not be allowed to cut on me, and I guarantee you Im not going to let them poison me with radiation and chemo. If God decides its time for me to go, and in that manner, then Im going. But Im not feeding some doctor and his clinic thousands of dollars of my insurance companies money, plus a portion of my own, when I felt good to start with. I still believe that if it isnt broke, dont fix it. Ive seen and heard the cancer horror stories some people have gone through only to find out they really didnt need to, and the doctors and clinics sucked them dry, and sorry, Im not willing to do that. Do I trust doctors? Absolutely not. Why? I dont trust anyone who stands to make a lot of money by telling me something that may not be true. And I have seen it many times, and I have seen many lawsuits over it, all revolving around a doctor needing money because he was living high off the hog and needed the cash. Nope, dont trust them, and they arent going to finger and probe this guy.

  • Art

    Oh yes by the way. For all out there who blindly condemn the so called “Obama Care” and the ignorant who support it. Please look it up. The entire bill can be found online. And as Nancy Pelosi so arrogantly suggested, “you’ll have to just read it to find out what’s in it”.

    Read the entire bill “law”, and it’s very long. Then you will see why intelligent Conservatives are against it and of course why mindless liberal Socialists are the way they are. But I guess that’s pretty obvious anyway.

  • 45caliber

    The vaccinations may not work – but I have had no flu and less colds after taking one than before when I didn’t. So something appears to be working. Since it has never affected me negatively, I’ll continue taking the vaccination each year.

  • Patriot

    It seems like my parents, friends and many others over 50 that their Dr’s are automatically recommending a colonoscopy, does anybody know
    why and should you just automically do this?

    • jim

      Yes colonoscopies can be LIFE SAVING!! Any polyps that are discovered that might turn cancerous can be painlessly eliminated, before they grow into a very Serious cancerous state!! VERY IMPORTANT!

    • Carlucci

      Personally, I would not have a colonoscopy. Two very popular D.J.s here (Walton & Johnson) are always talking about how dangerous they are, and that the lame stream media never talks about the dangers and side effects of this “procedure”.

      I do colon cleanses instead. Much safer and you will pass polyps if you have them. It sounds weird, but they look like un-popped popcorn kernels. You will also pass plaque that builds up on the colon walls. Think about it – if you get plaque on your teeth, and heart disease is all about plaque building up in the vascular system, and Alzheimer’s is all about plaque build-up and inflammation in the brain, then it stands to reason that there is plaque in the colon.
      I have done cleanses for years and not only do I feel much better physically after doing them, I feel better mentally – my attitude is much more positive and relaxed. I also regularly take multi-vitamins and minerals, along with extra D-3 (5000 i.u.s, and Vitamin C crystals mixed into juice) to keep my immunity up and vascular system clean. I also take enzymes for digestion, and Nattokinese to keep the blood clean of fibrin, and flowing properly.

      I’ve only had one mammogram in my life and it was such an awful experience I said I’d never do it again. All of that hard squeezing and pressure can’t be good. If there was a cancerous tumor in there, it could burst and spread cancer much faster. Thermography is the way to go.

      I’ve come to the conclusion that if anyone in the mainstream recommends something (and they always recommend allopathic medical treatments), go in the opposite direction first and try the holistic approach. That almost always works for me. The only time it didn’t was when I had recently had cataracts. So glad I went ahead and had the surgery. Last night was the first time since I was five years old that I didn’t have to wear glasses to a movie! It was awesome………..

    • http://donthaveone Beberoni

      I have been reading a lot on this, and it seems all indicators point to that this is a cash cow for the medical industry. They have created this panic, and from all the reports Ive read, something like 200,000 colon surgeries that were deemed unneccessary are performed each year, as it is a high billing thing for them to rape your medical insurance programs. Where they get this information from, I dont know, whether it be lawsuits, or what, but I know people who are convinced they should have this done every six months, and do colonoscopies or whatever they are called, and it seems they always find a polyp and need to operate, and it gets billed big bucks. My father is 85, and he has never had one. No prostate exam, no colon check. Im 52, and myself and the people I all grew up with dont do this, and Im not scared. I may be wrong, but as a man of faith, hey, if God says Im going to die that way, guess what, Im going to die that way. But Im not going to worry myself into it. Many people do that. I trust the medical advise and the drugs they are pushing about as much as I trust the lawyers and judges and politicians who think of themselves as above us all, and have prostituted things to where they are lining their pockets with cash, not caring about people. I dont trust them, and I sure as heck are going to trust them with telling me Ive got this and that and they need to operate, when Im feeling just fine. I guess I know my body, and I know when its working right, and its working right. I fully believe, that if it isnt broke, you dont fix it. And when I cant trust what they are telling me, Ive got to trust my own body. They can keep their fingers and scopes out of me. Thank you very much.

    I know for a fact based on personal experience that the germ theory is correct. I have not had the flu since 1983. I have only had a cold when I didn’t follow the rules. No anti-bacterial soap is necessary, that is a total scam and sterilizes the skin making us prone to any disease. The use of simple soap is all it takes to clean the skin. Even going through the motions of washing your hands with just plain water is enough.

    The secret: Never, ever put your hands near your face when in public unless washing them first. Especially when shopping or in a public place Don’t touch your face, rub your nose or eyes, or touch your mouth. If you must, go to the restroom and wash first, then scratch. This applies to the entire trip home. Put away your groceries or what have you, then wash your hands with soap and water. Anti-bacterial soap is not necessary. I know it’s hard to find soap any more, but it’s still out there. Also make sure you keep a safe distance from anyone who might have a cold. People with the flu will more than likely be home sick already.

    • barbm

      you should wash your hands as soon as you get in the door so you don’t get germs on your door handles, light switches, cabinets, fridge, etc.. and don’t put your food in the part of the grocery basket where little kids ride. germ city!!!

    • Deanna

      Art, You can never sterilize skin, only inanimate objects! The way to stay healthy is too boost your immune system, stop smoking, no drugs- illegal, get 8 or more hours of sleep every night, decrease stress as much as possible, eat plenty of vegetables and fruit 5 or more servings per day.Exercise at least 3 or more times a week. Drink bottled water without floride, floride is a poison and is not good for you. Have lots of support systems, friends and family members. Take prescription drugs only when needed and in the smallest dose possible, all drugs are foreign to the system, and should be used sparingly. Be careful with supplements not all are good for you. Get vitamins from foods!

        I guess maybe I should do some of those things more, as I probably am lucky if I eat fruit twice a month, as I just dont crave it. Dont get me wrong, I can eat a whole watermelon, a cantelope, honey dew, half a dozen apples, oranges, grapes, even raisans, but I dont crave fruit and dont hardly eat it. And vegetables, the only ones I dont eat are brussel sprouts and broccoli and spinach. But I dont eat many vegetables either, except potatoes. I love to eat steaks, hamburgers, pasta, country fried steak, mashed potatoes, beef and noodles, pizza, chili, burritos, in fact, a lot of mexican dishes. So maybe Im getting my veggies in with all the beans I eat, but other than that, I dont intentionally make a can of corn or green beans, or peas or asparagus, which I like to eat. Maybe I should more. I am totally healthy, other than hauling around 30 extra pounds of fat that Ive put on since taking a desk job and hurting my back a year ago, but its coming off, so maybe I should take your advise, and eat some more fruit and veggies. I know it cant hurt, that is for sure.

  • Carlucci

    whoops………..I thought I was posting to the other article – ! My bad.

    My two cents regarding the flu. Stay in bed, get plenty of rest and sleep, take some Zycam, eat some hot chicken soup with fresh ginger, sip some Canada Dry ginger ale if you are feeling nauseated. Stay hydrated with plenty of purified water, juice, etc. Take Vitamins D3 and C. Take some elderberry syrup. Try a warm to hot baking soda bath to relax if you have a fever. Be careful getting in and out of the tub as the soda makes the water real soft.

    • Warren the Wordsmith

      Loved your apology, whoops … My Bad! That’s a jewel and I will use it when necessary. Also appreciated your remedies. I avoid doctors like the plague but will see them for check-ups and thyroid output for that is an important and less known potential ticking time bomb. No flu shots; I take all the news hullabaloo about flu with serious doubt. Positive attitude is also a big help. Blessings for good health to all, WtW

    • http://donthaveone Beberoni

      Your Zicam has thousands of lawsuits against it right now, as it has been proven to cause what is called Anosmia, which is a complete loss of the sense of smell. And most that have gotten this, have immediately had it followed by the complete loss of the sense of taste. So seriously, I would advise you to stop taking this poison very soon, unless you dont want to smell and taste anymore.

  • Carlucci

    I think Ron Paul would be wonderful as president, but he might be too old for the job. That is nothing against him personally. He might be far more effective digging up more dirt against the FED and exposing it for all to see.

    As far as Trump, at least he had perception and sense not to invest with Bernie Madoff.

    We have a miraculous human body. Do not be brainwashed into putting anything synthetic into it; including vaccinations, meds,drugs,or lotions. These substances are seen as toxic to the body because they are synthetic; therefore the long list of side effects. Be aware of what is in a vaccination: Aluminum,lead,antifreeze,MSG,mercury, acetone, phenol, glycerin, formaldehyde, yeast, alum, aborted baby tissue, animal DNA, polysorbate 80 and more… of course it causes Alzheimers, Autism, and a slew of other maladies.

  • rosina

    Thankfully, I have always refused flu shots, especially after a friend was so ill AFTER the shots. The third year he landed up in hospital with bronchial pneumonia. I told him NEVER to have another shot. he hasn’t and has remained well.
    I also take vitamins and try to eat properly, but never too much so weight remains the same or less than age 20yrs.
    If I catche cold, it is my own home-made chicken soup and finally, the best, the hot toddies made with line or lemon uice, honey, hot water and a good shot of SCOTCH! THE BEST REMEDY!

    Yea, and this trillion dollars will be used to defeat any change in “status quo” of public perception.

    General Willness money can’t buy.

  • Elvira

    The American people have been lied to and duped into believing that they need to take a pill for every itch and twinge. There is a conspiracy involving the medical profession, big pharma, the FDA and the legal profession. One protects the other while they feed off the lies they spew out to the public. Ever notice that nearly all the TV commercials are for drugs and one of the favorite phrases is “ask your doctor” about taking whatever drug is being palmed-off as good for you. Big pharma knows it has the doctors in it’s back pocket or else they would not be so bold in these commercials.
    Most “legal” drugs are little more than poison and are meant to keep you sick and unhealthy. I ask you, Does the medical profession and big pharma really want you to be in robust health? Of course not, they want everybody on the edge of death. It is all about greed and making billions of dollars in profits.
    Eat good food, take herbs and natural vitamins and stay away from all the poisons you are being fed.
    Recipe for good health:
    1. Eat good, wholesome food.
    2. Drink plenty of water.
    3. Exercise regularly.
    4. Get adequate sleep, at least 8 hours/night.
    5. Pray for good health.
    6. Stay away from doctors and drugs, unless you are injured.

    • Joyce from Loris

      Elvira, add to the “drink plenty of water” the fact it should be pure water, not this poison that the cities provide. The chemicals that are added to the city water are a death warrant, all detrimental to the human body. Just ask your city to give you a list of the chemicals that are added, and a Material Safety Data Sheet on each chemical. It will scare the pants off of you. The cities literally FORCE people to pay them to poison them.

    • http://igoogle PEH

      RIGHT ON ELVIRA! KUDOS to one doctor over 20 years ago who absolutely refused to give me or any one of his patients a flu shot. His wise and very practical reason was that since there was such a wide variety of flu strains and vaccines were produced sometimes a year in advance, he advised me to trust my own immune system in conquering flu and that, in itself, would be my own “immunization” should I happen to get a “flu.” The body is a wonderous complex system and when coupled with the right food (read all labels and discover what processed food contains)coupled with a general healthy active life style, it is one of the best types of preventive health care. I ‘buckled’ under and took the pneumonia vaccine and was sick for a week and the provider was arrogant enough to insist it was not the vaccine (Daaa–I hadn’t been sick for nearly five years.
      The TV ads for drugs would be comical if not so tragic. There are the illegal drug pushers, and the drug manufacturers are the ‘legal’ drug pushers, but the message is the same–’better living through drugs.’ YUK! By the way, if I had to ‘tell my doctor that I had liver problems’ or any other problem, I would certainly find another doctor! Gimme a break!

  • Patriot

    Everybody knows that a Federal Judge ruled against ObamaCare as being unconstitutional and our government ignored the order. This was 14 days ago, our Federal Government is in contempt of court and nothing is being done! Does that mean they are above the law?

    • spitfire

      Yes I think THEY believe they are above the law, and most of the population, is too scared, and stupid to do anything about it. We as a population “would cause our forefathers to roll over in their graves”, for our irresponsible behavior in regards to government. WE and I say WE, simply allow them to have their way. All of us need to take to the streets in protest to the way things are being done.

      • bob wire

        People by nature, tend to not want to do the right thing and select to leave it up to someone else to do. This is a sad truth and I would expect objecting and protest for the mentioning.

        If your ass falling off was just your business it wouldn’t be such a problem and a difficult issue to solve.

        But we know that’s not the way it works, ~ Air , water and food supplies must be guarded by and for us all. There is a common vested interest to see this is done. and, ~ now the head of the camel is in the tent.

        “Needed” being the operative word here. They manipulate the FDA and Congress; get drugs on the market that are harmful; do not want to cure anything because they would go bankrupt. They want to control anything that goes into our bodies that might be helpful. If the government puts too tight controls on herbs and supps., it will force out the smaller guys and give Big Pharma free reign to control that too; so they lobby for tighter restrictions on natural cures. They thrive on illness. Sound like nice guys, don’t they?

        Read it, and by my opinion author of this has very good imagination.
        Vaccinations against bacteria work. And it is proven. Vaccinations against viruses doesn’t work. And it is known fact too. Huge doses of man made vitamins are not too effective and sometimes even harmful. And big industry to promote them behind the as well.

      • DaveH

        William,
        It seems to me that to make a statement like that about the author, the burden of proof is on you to back it up.

      • karolyn

        Big Pharma is way bigger than the vitamin industry.

      • Michael

        William – agree 100% with your comments. Nice to see rational thoughts rather than conspiracy nutjobs.

      • DaveH

        Rational, Michael, because he agrees with you? That’s pretty narrow minded. If you don’t agree with the facts as presented by the author, then provide us some proof rather than your personal attacks.

    BOT- I haven’t had flu shots for the last 5 years. I’ve been taking care of myself. Boosted my immune system with exercise, probiotics (encapsulated), healthy eating habits, organic meat & veggies when I can afford it and find it, et…
    When I did get sick (thanks to my business travel hubby) – made ‘cold’ soup, got some echinecea spray, and drank hot toddies before bed. Cold soup is chicken broth, ginger, garlic, onion, salt, cayenne and astragalus root (or extract). You can googleit for teh recipe.

  • McDaddy

    JVR,
    Slams on Obamacare are not gratuitous. There are many reasons to be against this illegal imposition. Simply from a common-sense point of view, it is a losing proposition. I’ll try to keep it brief: 1) there will be fewer doctors because those doc’s close to retirement will go ahead and retire (too many hoops to jump through w/ the gov input) and many bright, young people that would’ve gone into medicine will choose otherwise because they can make same or more $$ without the headaches of gov’t run healthcare. 2) with 35 million new people now gaining “insurance” and fewer docs to take care of them, you will end up with long lines and poor service. 3) since many of the 35 Million are illegals and won’t pay a dime towards the costs of this “insurance”, the system will suffer financially – resulting in higher taxes and the gov’t cutting back on treatments and meds that were once available. Also, 4) because there will be fewer incentives for companies to make money off new technologies (because the gov’t will be cutting back on expensive treatments) the new technologies will no longer be developed – resulting in a leveling off effect of improved treatments. Final analysis, this is a gov’t ‘power grab’ that will not advance our healthcare system, but hurt it irreversibly.

    • BigBadJohn

      young people that would’ve gone into medicine will choose otherwise because they can make same or more $$ without the headaches of gov’t run healthcare.
      **************************88

      I do not agree with that at all. Currently at least 50% of medical school applicants are turned away. You want to talk down unions? The AMA is the biggest, richest, most powerful union in the USA. They pretty much dictate how many new doctors graduate per year. If more doctors graduated each year – that ALONE would drive down the price of health care.

      • http://LibertyAlert Bud

        Talk about ignorance. The AMA represents fewer than 12% of the physicians and is not a union. The AMA makes its income from selling the coding used on insurance forms. Young persons with a brain will not go into medeicine when the government pays them less each year and threatens them with imprisonment.

      • DaveH

        Agreed, John. But we can’t force doctors to educate others. I think it would help a lot though if we got the Government out of the Licensing business. The only requirement should be honesty. If they say they had 8 years of medical schooling and they hadn’t, then the Government should get involved to punish those fraudulent doctors. Otherwise, Government should butt out and let people do their own choosing. If people choose to go to a witch-doctor, that should be their choice, not the Governments’.

      • LindyMaeUSA

        Here’s another prophetic word from a “Founding Father” who saw into the future of our beloved Country:

        “Government is not reason. It is not eloquent. it is FORCE.
        Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.”
        ~George Washington

      • http://donthaveone Beberoni

        Absolutely. And when the government decides to interfere with the free market of medicine, and dictate not only to us, as to who we can go to and what kind of service we can receive, and for whom I might add, and then tells the doctors what they can provide, and how much they can charge for this and for that, there are going to be a whole lot of doctors retiring, and a whole lot of youth deciding they arent going to spend 8 years in medical school to come out and make 100 grand a year, because of government stipulations and interference. You will sign in, and they will tell you to come back in 3 weeks, and you go home and die of a heart attack before they can treat you, as is what happened to a gentlemans father I had the priveledge of fishing with for a week in Canada, before their socialized medicine system killed his father, just as I listed before. You wait your turn. And you will get less quality care, pay higher premiums, and get lesser coverage. Only the bum that wont work will benefit. Those are the facts.

  • Donald

    I have been getting flu shots for more than 50 years and I have never had the flu even when I was not following a particularly healthy life style including not getting enough sleep.

    • Conservative at Birth

      I have never had a flu shot and never will. The last time I had a flu virus was 1973.

    • BigBadJohn

      I quit getting flu shots because every time I got a shot – I got sick.

      I have not had the flu for 30 years and only get colds once in a while. Yes I load up on vitamins.

      • http://donthaveone Beberoni

        A lot of people dont know, that when they give you the flu shot, they are actually shooting the flu into you, figuring your bodies anti body system will fight it off, and make you stronger and resistant to it. Problem is, for one, a lot of people dont have a strong anti-body system, and two, why inject the crap into yourself? I know more people that get sick from it who take this shot, than those who dont take it. I try to keep all that junk out of my body, so I dont take it, never have, and I have not had the flu since I was a little kid, for over 40 years now Ive been flu free. And I think Ill keep it that way. The only good advise a doctor ever gave me, was to get plenty of liquids and greens, so I drink a 12 pack and golf 36 holes on the week ends. There you go.

    • spitfire

      I have not gotten a flu shot every year, but when I do, I never get the flu. This year I did not get the shot, and I have something that is awful. I’m very healthy, but very susceptable to this crap that is trying to invade my lungs.

      One more thing, the weather surely has nothing to do with it, because I am currently living abroad, and the flu season coincides with the USA almost exactly. It never gets below 70degrees F.here. If I ride on public transportation and get near a person that is sick and coughing, in not more than two days I have it.

      NOt everything the scientists or medical community says is a lie. We not live longer, in part due to medicine. Take a look at what people died from in the 19th century, and part of the 20th, and you will see that medicine is working. So I only partly agree with this article.

      • http://donthaveone Beberoni

        That would probably explain it. A whole lot of people, and I mean a whole lot of people, get sick when they go overseas, as they are now being exposed to new germs and viruses that are foreign to your bodies system, and your anti-bodies dont know what to make of them. If you can take it, and are strong enough, and can let your body naturally fight them off, your system will make itself strong and resistant to these new viruses and bugs. But if your system has been compromised a lot in the past with doses of antibiotics, chances are your going to need to keep taking them to get better.

    • DaveH

      That proves nothing, Donald. I have never had flu-shots and have only had the flu once in the last 15 years. Everybody’s body is different. Some of us were blessed with very robust immune systems, others were not.
      Given the human inclination to fudge data to support our beliefs, the only real proof of the efficacy of a treatment is in a double-blind study. There have not been any double-blind studies to prove the efficacy of flu shots.

      • DOGS FIGHT

        Some of us have strong immune systems, period. I, despite eating crap every day, will probably get a heart attack when I am 40 from clogged arteries, but the last time I was sick was when I was maybe 10. I have extremely pale skin and can’t tan to save my life, so maybe that really ehlps me to produce vitamin D from the smallest amount of sun exposure…. Some of us never get sick, and some of us can get any women they desire….

      • DaveH

        Dogs,
        Don’t worry about that tan. I wish I could turn the clock back and protect my skin more than I did from the sun.

      • http://donthaveone Beberoni

        I agree, and Im different that you, in that I tan easily and can be in the sun all day and it doesnt bother me. When I was young I worked with road crews doing seeding and sod laying. I was the only white guy working with a bunch of illegal aliens. After a couple of weeks, I was darker skinned than the Mexican guys were, and they marveled at how dark I was. So evidently skin tone has nothing to do with having a strong immunity system. I fully believe it is heriditary, but some have destroyed theirs by using pharmaceutical drugs.

  • Mike

    How about we over turn Obama and force him to Produce his REAL birth Certificate and School records.
    Congress needs to close down until Obama produces evidence that he is a Natural Born Citizen.
    To fix government we must start at the top and work our way down.
    WHERE’S THE REAL BIRTH CERTICICATE AND SCHOOL RECORDS Mr. Obama. Congress Must demand this information First and before anything else is move through the Congress.
    Do we or Do we not have a ligal president?

    • JR

      Not to come to his defense, but show me were it is written in the constitution or the amendments that he has to show his birth certificate or school records to any Joe blow birther? There is none.
      Until the constitution is amended or a federal law that is anchored in the existing text of the constitution is crafted, he does NOT have to produce anything to anyone but the election committee. As long as they are fine with the proof, the constitution is satisfied.
      We can’t cry to uphold the constitution and then sweep it aside if it does not further our goals….that doesn’t work.We have to take the constitution as it is, the good, bad, and indifferent…unless we set out to change it. And because of the above mentioned lack of clear direction in the constitution, I fear that all those state laws about the birth certificates for new elections will be thrown out in supreme court…as they should be. Moreover, with all the brew ha ha that part of the conservatives generate about this, it has a big chance to blow up into our face. What will we do if just about by the next election Obama out of the “goodness of his heart” decides to show his birth certificate….it will make us all look like conspiracy nuts and idiots….and thus many voters will vote for him simply because they do not want to be associated with our site. I would trust him that this whole controversy is premeditated as a way to help his re-election….one thing you can not say about him, and that is that he is stupid…nope, it is my believe that he is not only brilliant in his moves but also devious.
      And if you believe that he will not be able to produce a valid certificate, let me remind you that he has at his disposal the whole apparatus of federal corruption such as the FBI and CIA…the worlds best organizations for anything fake…..fakes so good, they can never found out….that’s what those organizations do and they good at it.

      • http://LibertyAlert Bud

        Article II of the constitution “No person except a natural born citizen or a citizen of the United States…shall be eligible to the office of the President.” We have not seen a legitimate birth certificate, because Obama was either born in another country or his birth certificate shows his middle name to be Mohammad.

      • http://Google.com Gary G.

        TOO TRUE, I’ll have a Bud for you!

      • Babs

        You need to re-read the Constitution. One of the MAIN requirements stated for President is “must be a natural born citizen” of the United States.

      • jim

        You are RIGHT ON, much to the chagrin of these mindless obamabot Idiots!!

      • DOGS FIGHT

        I agree, the whole Obama birth certificate issue is a side issue. Look, whoever Obama is, he is taking a wrecking ball to our country. I don’t care if Obama has 25 birth cirtificates showing him to be the most constitutionaly eligible citizen to run as President in our nation’s history… This man has got to be stopped. The only people I see voting for him are delusional people who want America to go down burning in flames, or people who are simply not informed.

      • Grinch 58

        JR. That’s a great point. And, if you care to do some research, you would find that at least 1 U.S. Military officer has successfully sued the administration in civil court to avoid following orders…i.e. deployment. Look this up-you won’t find it publicized on ABC or CNN.

        This is one way in which we can show he is a fraud.

        I understand by your comments, you seem not to believe our President is a phony? Let me explain something to you-would you spend millions of dollars to avoid having to show your long form birth certificate? Why would he argue and fight over this? Not one dime of anyone’s money should have been spent on defending this-tells me all I need to know. FACT: The state of Hawaii has yet to produce an official, long form birth certificate, which is required under that State’s law.

        I am not saying Obama was not born in Hawaii. But, what I am saying is why would you go to such great lengths to fight having to produce an original certificate? C’mon-that doesn’t get you in the common sense gut?

        IF I am not mistaken, haven’t two of our officers now filed suit to avoid having to take orders from our “commander in chief?”

        How about proof to the American people? With help from what I would call a criminal conspiracy he has avoided the obligation to prove he is eligible at all.

      • http://donthaveone Beberoni

        But it does say you have to be a natural born citizen now doesnt it pal? And if he is, just why has he spent over a half million dollars now or more, in legal fees, to keep from having to show it? Doenst that make you wonder just a little bitty bit as to why? Hmmm. If it looks like a skunk and smells like a skunk, you better believe its probably a skunk.

  • Joyce from Loris

    We, as a race, have forgotten all the old remedies that kept our ancestors alive and well. The most important one is PREVENTIVE measures. We should eat right, sleep enough hours, and very important… keep your stress levels down. Learning alternative methods of healing yourself is not difficult, using the internet. I worked in the pharmaceutical industry as a chemist for almost 15 years. I would not take medication if you held a gun to my head. I KNOW what’s in it! Physician, heal thyself.

      Are you saying as a former chemist that you wouldn’t take any medication? What are your thoughts on the drug Wellbutrin?My sister takes a cocktail of Wellbutrin, Lamictol, and Seroquel at night.She has been for 2 years now.I think it has done damage to her,but we need to find out a homeopathic alternative.She has been diagnosed Bi-polar.Interested in your professional opinion.Suzzanne

      • Joyce from Loris

        These drugs will make her suicidal, if you aren’t careful. You need to get her to a naturalist healer close to you as soon as possible. These drugs don’t help, they just “medicate”, and are almost as big a problem as bi-polar.

      • http://donthaveone Beberoni

        A deadly mix, and they will destroy her sooner than later. Ever listen to these commercials for all these new drugs they are pushing? My gosh, the side effects are worse than the symtoms they are treating. People cant sleep, take this. Then the commercial says, “side effects are suicide, murdering rages, bleeding ulcers, heart attacks, strokes and your arms fall off”. Of course, Im exagerrating here, but most of these drugs cause more problems in treating the thing you take them for. Go to the health store, or talk to an amish doctor. They can cure you with herbs and roots and stuff. Dont let the pharmaceutical chemicals kill her, because they will.

  • jvr

    • MK

      You’re joking right?

    • Conservative at Birth

      Because it leads to rationing, and the bureaucrats in some far off place will decide who gets what medical care and when. It is as simple as that. Are you an ostrich?

      • Richard Pawley

        The UK has a shortfall on the state run health care and they need to raise well over a TRILION POUNDS to make up for it (or so I recently read – haven’t had the time to check it out). The rationing has already begun and it will be the elderly who pay (with their shortened lives). Anyone who is counting on the government to care for them had better wake up while they can still learn to care for themselves. Our nation is broke BROKE and more and more foreigners are getting smarter and not lending us the money so we can squander it on super trains to nowhere and all kinds of other grandiose schemes as congress has been doing since 2006. If this new congress doesn’t make really big cuts soon, then the big inflation and the tripling of food prices (and fuel) that I have long written about will be sooner rather than later. May God help us. The government, soon, will not be able to help itself.

        Canadian healthcare is in the same boat…10yrs a trillion dollars with only $34 million people. How cam Obama take care of $300 million people for the same trillion dollars???

      • Ellen

        American’s wouldn’t want to accept the reality of their rationed healthcare. My Canadian friend’s mother has been waiting for over a year to see a doctor about an incontinence problem. When she finally gets in to see him, that appt. will only be the consultation. Then, she gets to wait again for the treatment. They also have a shortage of primary care doctors, so people have to go to clinics now. We refer to those as ‘doc in a box’ in the US and generally don’t have a high opinion of the care they provide. They’re generally used in situations when our regular doctor isn’t available (ie: Sunday afternoon).

Or you can stick your head in the sand and think its free, but you really need to know, if you dont already, its not free. Someone is paying for it, and its me and others like me that work for a living. Why do people from Canada spend their own money not only to travel down here, but to have surgeries here, if their free stuff is so good? Ever consider just why someone would do that?

  • Michael

    Think if those in charge wish to cull the population down to 500 million and still progress. They can not do it with war,famine, disease. But they can do it by fear of diseases and mandatory vaccinations. Be aware.
    Many in the medical profession will not let their children get vaccinated.

    • JC

      I have never had a flu vaccination in my life, and I can’t remember the last time I had so m uch as a sniffle. Has to be at least 15 years.
      There is no way they can make a comprehensive vaccine when influenza mutates from person to person. It’s a scam of the highest order from the biggest lobby in Congress…Big Pharma.
      And yes they are going after our natural cures, read: CODEX

      And Michael touches on an important idea….
      maybe, just maybe we’re being trained (like Hamsters) to respond to fear based propoganda in order that we be trained to stand in line to have “chemicals” injected in to our bodies. (Paranoid? maybe)

      We have instructed our children to leave the school if they start injecting kids with anything at all.

      • Richard Pawley

        I’ve heard of families who had it on file at the school, NO VACCINATIONS without parental approval, but those files were conveniently misplaced and the kids were given shots anyway. Smart idea telling them to leave until you know what is going on. To many parents don’t care these days. If we could do away with the Department of Education in Washington we could save a fortune and not have to endure so much of the crap that goes on, the same is true with several other departments that employ thousands but benefit only the big corporations or the union bosses.

    I have been sick for a month now, my husband got it two weeks ago. We both NEVER get sick…can’t say that now. We are on a strict and faithful regimen of optimum vitamin intake, yet we still got sick. I think that comes from living remotely, then when we are exposed, we have no immunity. After this I will never be able to get my husband to go into town! No flu shots for us, but from all I’ve heard about them, they’re pretty ineffective against the multitude of flu strains floating around out there. Our neighbor, who I’m pretty sure gave this to us, called Saturday to say that she was finally diagnosed with H1N1, even though she had a flu shot. Great…we are off to a clinic again today to see if we have the same…never had a flu like this before! I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy…even BO!

        Gary G may be correct. Onions a a very good food to help you alkalize you body’s pH. That helps in keeping you from getting sick.

        I have read about placing open onions around the house to attract viruses from the air. However, I have no idea if it works. I just concentrate on maintaining an alkaline state in my body by eating correctly, and if necessary, taking powdered supplement.

        I like onions and garlic fried in olive oil. Sometimes I put it on hamburgers and sometimes I just have it with a raw tomato between two slices of bread with butter. I love the taste.

I can eat bread and butter for a desert and sometime do if I feel like I want something after I have finnished eating.

      Try some Citricidal, it’s cheap and you can get it online for less than 20 bucks. It lasts a looooong time. You only use a couple of very small drops in juice. It’s from the grape seed and is a natural antibiotic. Propolis is a natural antibiotic too. Hope it works for you, works for me.

      • ValDM

        I have been using a citricidal for washing vegetables (gets the “residue” off) and using it as a disinfectant in the bathroom and kitchen for the last 5 years. But it isn’t from grape; it’s from the grapefruit seed. You can find it in any healthfood store marketed by Nutri-Biotic company. The name on the bottle is GSE.

      Vitamin C, in large doses, is death to viruses, while not hurting the body. Take 400-1000 mg daily, and 1000 mg every hour if a flu gets started, and watch the flus go bye-bye.

      I inhaled smoke at work and so damaged my hair cells in the bronchial tubes, and am susceptible to colds and flu’s…but Vitamin C stops them cold.

      If interested, I can tell you what finally convinced me…an experiment when I was much younger.

      Airline passengers use Vitamin C successfully too!

      But yous need bigger doses than just an orange!!

      I did NOT take the H1N1 shot, since I got enough mercury in my body from work I was in. And Mercury is a brain poison. Lewis Carroll talks in one of his stories about the Mad Hatter…mad from too much mercury. Maybe that explains our irrational politicians?

        Make sure those strawberries are organic. Like popcorn they are one of the top ten most polluted foods and the FDA has recently approved something so deadly to spray on strawberries that scientists in labs using it have to wear breathing equipment when even handling a few grams. I’ve never believed in these conspiracy theories to reduce the population but when I see the insane things going on at the business controlled FDA I really have to wonder. How can it be only about money? Are they totally ignorant? They will be just as sick and dead as everyone else. Strawberries are used in ice cream and jam and yogurt and that’s just one item. It’s almost like they are trying to make the worst terrors of the Book of Revelation come about, famine and disease. With the Internet we could inform ourselves and look up what is really going on. We would truly be better off without the FDA if we had the Internet but then the government wants the ability, like RED CHINA and recently Egypt, to be able to close down the Internet because the ‘sheeple’ might be confused by what the president called ‘to much information’. Oh, well, if the new congress gets conned by the old one and doesn’t cut the spending dramatically then we will have so much inflation it won’t make much difference anyway. Recently read that FEMA was no longer saying that we needed to have a three day supply of food on hand at all times, but a two month supply? Does anyone know if that is true? Can’t believe they are tying to prepare us for what is coming. Many countries around the world are trying to build up a food supply and China with 24% of the world’s people but only 7% of the world’s farm land is having the worse drought in 200 years. I have a whole chapter on FAMINE in my book, “THE LAST DAYS OF THE LATE GREAT UNITED STATES and the Great Famine that Followed.” This time China has enough money that they can bid up the price of grain to where they can buy it, if necessary, no matter how high it goes, and we still use 24% of our corn for fuel, and we can’t even drill for our own oil. Makes one wonder who really does run the country. It certainly isn’t Senators Common Sense. Doesn’t the President realize that his daughters are going to have to grow up in what this country could turn into it he succeeds with congress’s help in wiping out the middle class? They say things are looking better but my sources say another market hit is likely before the years ends. Best to prepare for the worst while you are hoping for the best and if congress doesn’t cut the spending till it hurts you can count on prices tripling but not for houses as more foreclosed last year than in 2009 and it doesn’t look good for 2011.

        Hello VaIDM, The best vitamin C in the world so far is Lypospheric vitamin C, or nanospheric vitamin C …..

      • Richard Pawley

        I take Yaeyama brand Chlorella but any good brand might work. A few tiny green tablets a day, 600 cost less than $15 from vitacost.com, will draw out heavy metals from the human body according to experiments conducted by German scientists. I take two or three per day, my sister takes five. Some take ten a day (what the scientists used). While it is nearly a perfect food but you wouldn’t want to live off of it.

      • L.J.

        Hadn’t thought of that. That is funny and just might be the case. Can’t figure how people can become so deluded in their thinking. The only reasoning I could come up with was: “they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” ~ 2Thess. 2:11-12

      To increase the effectiveness of your immune system TAKE LOTS of VITAMIN D or GET OUT IN THE SUN!!! It is that simple, like the solution to most problems! This BS about sun harming you is to STOP you from having a decent immune system! Of course, if you stay out in the sun tanning all the time it can actually harm you! Too much of almost ANYTHING is no good. Look at eating huge amounts of food, for example! It will and does kill millions of Americans! THAT is how NOT to get sick, by the ability of YOUR immune system to do it’s job!! It IS that simple!! Of course, your “Doctor” (really should be called pharmacologist) won’t tell you this, it would cost them too much $$$$. In my humble opinion. YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT!

    • Richard Pawley

      I just took my daily 5,000 IU D-3 capsule but if I had a flu and couldn’t go out and sit in the noon day sun (or thereabouts) for a half hour each day in shorts or a swimsuit (with no sunscreen), I’d take that capsule every waking HOUR for at least five days, maybe a week, but no more. I already take 16 times the so-called daily amount of Vitamin C in an our all-food natural vitamin and mineral capsules but my wife takes an additional gram of “C” on top of that. I took her to a popular but somewhat crowed restaurant on Saturday for Valentines Day, a place we had not been to in over two years and now I have a sore throat. I just took one of her 1000 mg of Advanced C and I will be gargling my throat with warm water and sea salt in the next few minutes. If I had a cold or the flu I’d avoid all sugar and alcohol which turns to sugar until well and which germs feed on (didn’t do that yesterday but didn’t realize I was getting something). Remember too, that your body can use minerals (which most Americans are deficient in) without vitamins but it can’t use vitamins very well without minerals. Much to learn but it’s worth it. Never heard of what you take but it’s important that all supplements be natural, made by God and nature, not in a laboratory. Synthetic substitutes just don’t cut the cake. I’ve taken a made from nature vitamin and mineral supplement for nearly thirty years and for the past four or five something called ALIVE that I get from a place in Florida ( http://www.vitacost.com ) which helps keep me that way. Tried to get my dad to take it but he liked his brands better so he passed on three months ago at 97 missing his goal to reach a hundred. Be sure to get plenty of sleep and believe it or not chicken soup will help too. I’ve never written a book on nutrition but mention it in all my books. If you have been sick for a month your immune system is definitely weak. Look to what you eat to build it up, only organic grass fed meat and eggs, and whole grains if you can eat them, not the genetically engineered stuff sold in American supermarkets, nothing with soy in it or canola oil, or GMO corn or sugar from beets (now GMO too). No milk or cheese or ice cream with artificial bovine hormones. I use USDA organic coconut oil that I get from vitacost and organic butter. You can’t eat what most people eat and not get the diseases that most people get. I don’t eat hogs but heard that organic pork, while rare is very good. I’d go for deer before I’d go for pork however, no matter how good it is. My mom, however, ate pork for years and she lived to be 92. Never kiss a pet or let a dog or cat sleep in bed with you. Lots of things to learn. God bless you and I hope you are soon well.

  • s c

    Avoid the rush. Start taking at least 5,000 IU of D3, and stock up while you can. Or, you can load up on flu shots and take your chances.
    Take care of your immune system, cut back on your bad habits and learn to eat right. Seek out nutritionists. Put your faith in things that keep you healthy.

    • karolyn

      Absolutely right, SC. People don’t need to rush to the doctor for evey sniffle. That’s why our healthcare system is so screwed up. I had a cold over Christmas, which is unusual for me, although I haven’t been eating as well as I should. When I felt the first symptom again last week, I got Zicam, which is just zinc, and sucked on them for a couple of days. The cold was knocked out before it even got started, leaving me with just some phlegm needing to be coughed out of my throat. Just like with anything else, people need to be educated; and I do my share whenever possible. Long live Dr. Mercola!

      • Wanda Murline

        Many years ago, I had really bad sinus drainage that would cause my throat to coat and I would end up with fever and have to see the doctor. This went on monthly. One day my usual doctor was out and his assistant saw me. He told me that if I would gargle with Hydrogen Peroxide, it would remove the film on my throat and I would not get so sick. Haven’t been back for that in over 30 years. It is awful to gargle with, so I take a cold coke with me to start drinking after spitting it out…I also hold my nose while gargling, but it works. Maybe some of you can use this information. Also, drinking cranberry juice of taking cranberry capsules with help stop urinary tract infections…found that out from an Air Force doctor in the 60′s…don’t have many of them either. Oh yes, take a handful of Acidolphus if you feel a fever blister coming on…it will knock it out almost overnight before it turns into a big sore.

      • ValDM

        Taking a regular dose (500mg/daily) of the amino acid L-Lysine will prevent a herpes flare-up, which is what a fever blister is.

      • Bruce D.

        I have found Zinc to be a very important nutrient in my body makeup and take it every day. The immune system is important to health, no doubt. I cannot even remember the last time I was sick. I pay absolutely no attention to germs other than normal cleaning practices. As a snack I like to eat cucumber, tomato, and carrot cut up and raw with vinegar . I like it and do not think you can get sick if you do that. At least I don’t.

      • Bruce D.

        I would like to add that zinc and a liquid blood tonic called TanKwe Tonic are the only things I take in supplement form.

      • stuart

        If you are usimg the hyd. peroxide from the pharmacy, dont.Get 35% food grade hyd.peroxide on line.Agood company is at. http://www.Pureh2o2ForHealth.net/purecontactus.htm

      • BarleyWheets

        READ the Label or talk to your pharmacist. They took the zinc out of Zicam recently so its NOT nearly as effective as it once was.

      • karolyn

        On the label there are two ingredients, both “zincum,” so it has to be some form of zinc.

      • Christin

        I read that Zicam is not a good product and people have lost their sense of smell using it…
        Has anyone else read anything about this product?

        If you just want “zinc”, best to go to a Natural Vitamin Shop or Whole Foods store and buy natural additive free zinc in capsule form.

    • BigBadJohn

      At least as long as your vitamins are still legal.

      A number of pharmaceutical companies are incorporating natural substances into their new products. How long do you think it will be before the big money buys enough votes to give pharmaceuticals a monopoly over natural cures? Regardless of what party is in power!

      • DaveH

        They’ve already pushed us in that direction, BigBad, with the euphemistically named “food safety bill” which gives the FDA greater powers over the our food industry. Don’t think for a minute that Big Government won’t use that power to hobble the competitors of the Government’s favored Crony Capitalists.
        As Government Grows, Corruption Flows.

      • L.J.

        Thanks for teaching me the perfectly truthful phrase, “As government grows corruption flows.” Also thanks for all of you posting your health supplement advise. I will pass it on to friends and family

    • LindyMaeUSA

      Bob: Kudos for that daring and truthful article! I greatly admire people who are NOT “Politcally Correct” and SAY it LIKE IT IS!!

      We’ve known for YEARS that “Big Pharma” (and this government!) have IMMEDIATE access to simple, INEXPENSIVE cures and treatments for MOST of the major diseases known to mankind, INCLUDING CANCER but those rapaciously greedy animals refuse to present those miraculous and life-saving drugs and treatments to the general public! But, “WHY NOT?” you ask?

      #1: There’s NO MONUMENTAL PROFIT for “Big Pharma” to save peoples’ lives compared to the HUGE TRILLIONS they’ve been raking in for decades by keeping those cures a secret from society in general.

      However, IF you’re any part of the “Rich and Famous,” (i.e. David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, et al) you’ll live well into your 90′s and longer, because your status will provide any and all “cures and treatments” to prolong YOUR life to the fullest extent that YOUR MONEY CAN BUY!

      #2: The New World Order has an agenda to annihilate 2/3 of the earth’s population! What easier (and more profitable) way to accomplish that goal than to withhold medicines and treatments which would easily extend the live-span of you and me!

      • http://FarTooMuch.Info Russ Lemon

        U.N. Agenda 21 is referenced in article 406 of the ‘Food Safety Act’. There is evidence the glyphosate herbicide used on some genetically modified foods [corn, soy, cotton-seed, canola, sugar beet and now alfalfa], prevents that food from absorbing essential nutrients [calcium, iron, zinc, copper, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum]. Without organic or non-GM foods or supplements, this destroys the immune system. Fluoride in the water and in some foods displaces iodine in the body causing loss of energy and weight gain. Who knows what they are putting into the air [aluminum?]

      • Christin

        Russ,
        Agenda 21 in Article 406 in “The Food and [NOT] Satety Act”… wow, they are emboldened!

        “Soft Kill”
        Poisoning you to sickness and death through contaminated water, air, soil, food, and bad drugs… they call medicines.

        No mercury preservative-filled flu shot for me.

      • L.J.

        Glad to see someone brave enough to report the truth about immunizations. Some doctors just laugh at you when you tell them that the flu shot caused not only you to get the flu but your family as well. It is also unbelievable how aggressively some doctors pressure you into injecting your newborn babies with chemicles and diseases. Some try to convince you that there is no longer any mercury in the vaccines when everything you research says that there is. Studies are linking the newborns Vitamin K shot with higher incidents of childhood cancer. The shot is more than 100 times the vitamin K dose a person would need and the ingredients are so bizzare such as hydrollic fluid. We were so pressured with the Vit. K shot that we finally caved on that one. In their veiwpoint I guess God messed up and needs man’s intervention of a vitamin K shot so that newborns wont bleed to death. In our first baby, there was a noticeabl decline in mental developement after a couple of rounds of vaccines but nothing permanent, thank God. A friend’s baby ended up in ICU after the MMR shot but eventually recovered. Even after going through all that she kept pressuring me to just not think about it and go get the vaccines! The Drs. and hospital staff give you paperwork to warn you that your baby could suffer many serious side effects including death but then they are shocked that you wont sign it and let them inject your baby. Parents have to decide for themselves what they feel is best for the health of their child. Drs., friends, and family should not be so quick to judge as both decisions have risks. Most parents could never agree to give the vaccines after reading the medical research and statistics on thinktwice.com and the horrific accounts given by parents who have suffered so as a result of vaccines.

    • William

      Even one piece a day of fresh garlic can dramatically improve your immune system and also it can help to recover from flu and other since
      it can kill virus directly. As about vitamin D3 – mostly what you can get is synthetic. Doesn’t work hat good. Sometimes it even can make some harm. Best try to be outside and maybe some tan will help your body to generate it itself.
      Medical scientists knew that vaccination is not efficient against virus infections. So entire fly vaccination is a scam. Yes it may help some people. The same time it harm others. Definitely it is a milky cow for medical industry.

      • Bruce D.

        Rush Limbaugh never had the few in his life. He let a doctor talk him into getting a flu shot and soon after he came down with the flu for the first time in his life.

      • Ed

        I guess Rush was protected by those illegal drugs he was taking.

        I’m sure he agrees that we should make all illegal drugs legal and stop vaccinations altogether. So if you do get sick from things like the flu virus, you will be so high you won’t mind it all.

    • EddieW

      A bit heavy on the Vitamin D-3…No Doctor would reccoment such a high dose!! D-3 at 1000 mg, even every other day is totally sufficient!!! Add a 500MG Vitamin C, and no cold can touch you..Any flu can be gotten rid of in 3 days with great tasting Elderberry Syrup!
      Hopefully everyone is aware of the really bad things in vaccines, that cause far more health problems, than they “cure”!!!

    • Karen

      Very true, on Vitamin C and Vitamin D3!! I take both and (Thank GOD) have not had the flu or a cold for quite a while. The last time I had a flu shot (2 years ago), I got sicker’n a dog! Then they started with the H1N1 craziness and I was done! No more!

    • Merry

      If you want to avoid the flu, and other viruses, simply get pure, whole elderberry concentrate. A simple food, not a medicine, and a form with no preservatives or anything added to it – is made in Kansas. Wyldewood Cellars is the brand I have used for 16+ yrs, and never had a flu shot in my life. I am 63, and won’t take one.
      Elderberry has been used for thousands of years for it, but you cannot patent a natural substance, so pharmaceutical companies will never market it and it grows native so no fad berry from another country. Miami Medical School did a clinical study on elderberry last year and published it in the Journal of Phytochemistry. Proved that there is a bioflavinoid specific to elderberry that encapsulates and neutralizes virus cells – effectively prevented H1N1 in their study.
      Has worked on all of them so far for me. Costs about $10 a month to take it, and we have used it on family members of all ages. Helps allergies, asthma, diabetes (in Mosby’s Nursing Drug Reference it says elderberry has an “insulin like quality” – but it helps with blood sugar levels), and elderberry was recently shown to help with chronic lung disease. I was given “maybe” 2 yrs to live with chronic obstructive airway disease in 1994, so I guess it helped me anyway.
      Oh, and Wyldewood Cellars Elderberry Juice Concentrate was featured on “The Doctors” TV show too – as one of the 40 ways to avoid the flu.
      Just FYI – not a commercial.

      • Ed

        An annual flu shot is cheaper than paying $10 a month for juice.

      S C:

      Are you an insomiac? I have noticed your posting times…
      Checking your body’s pH on a regular basis is also a good idea to help you keep tabs on your overall health. It can be tested with ltmus paper and should be at least 7.4.

      If your pH is below 7.4 you are heading for an acidic condition in your body and that allows disease to develop.
