Six Good Reasons to Avoid the Flu Shot

(NaturalNews) Every year it is recommended 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 a 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 that 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 the flu 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
pneumonia. Further, a large study of 260,000 children between 23 month
and 6 discovered that the flu vaccine is no more effective that a
placebo. This was reported in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews.


2.The flu vaccines, as well as all 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 deficit
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 Polysorbate 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 polysorbate 80 had serious damage to their reproductive organs, often resulting in infertility. Imagine that they are recommending 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 Alzheimer's disease due
to the aluminum and formaldehyde combined with mercury since they are
even more toxic together than they are alone. Some research suggests
that people who received the 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 potentially 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 the 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, unpasteurized 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, vitamin 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 suppresses the immune system and causes disease.
Today there are so many wonderful healthy alternatives such as agave
nectar and xylitol that it is totally unnecessary to ever consume sugar.
·Deal with emotional stress. Anger and stress suppress the immune
system. Yoga, meditation, counselling, natural therapies 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
is a reality for millions of people. Find ways to make life less hectic
so that you have more time to catch those zzzzs.
