Shot or not 2007 (flu Shots)
Shot or Not 2007
Welcome to another in our series of Shot or Not – continuing research, news developments and answers to your questions about vaccines and shots.
FLU SHOT UPDATE
As we’ve previously advised, don’t be afraid if you haven’t gotten the flu shot.Hopefully, this article will put you at some kind of ease.Keep in mind that even the most conservative and cautious of institutions, the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) states that, “the flu is not a serious disease”.
Yet it is a bother – can ruin the holidays, cause school and work absenteeism, make you feel lousy.What are sick days created for anyway?Five to twenty percent of the population in US contracts the flu each year – some having received the flu vaccine and some not.Whether you have or haven’t or will or won’t, the most important thing I’m going to say in this article is that you must support and invigorate your immune system.The kids too.Let’s look at some background.
The flu or influenza is a highly contagious respiratory infection caused by influenza viruses which enter the body through mucous membranes in the mouth, nose or eyes. Coughing or sneezing are methods of spreading the flu virus, as it becomes airborne and can be inhaled by anyone nearby.
For this reason, children (in constant contact with each other) contract the flu up to 3 times more than adults and often get sick earlier in the season than adults.Peak flu season falls between December and March.
Let’s recap important point about the flu shots:
1)If you think that getting the current flu shot is “better than nothing”, is this just a hopeful placebo?Is your conscience relieved that you are taking some kind of action?
2)What kind of action is this flu vaccine taking?Serious repercussions.It contains the toxic metals, aluminum and mercury. These have been known to cause brain and nervous system injury, such as autism, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s.
3)The flu vaccine may contain other toxic additives such as MSG or monosodium glutamate, which may cause headaches, bloating, hives or other food allergy symptoms.Formaldehyde, a potent environmental toxin, is also an ingredient.
4)An even greater concern is the Flu Mist vaccine. Inhaling this “chemical soup” can cause the potential for the viruses to enter directly into the brain.Intranasal injection of certain viruses has resulted in a serious brain infection called encephalitis.
It has amazed me this winter, especially post-holiday time, how many people have been sick.When I ask them if they had the flu, they usually say, “I don’t know”.They’ll explain that they had respiratory problems, were fatigued, some were tired, some not, most had coughing and all had extreme mucous that lasted for some, for weeks.Some had vomiting; some had nausea; some had headaches.What I’m leading up to here is that most people have a mixture of non-influenza viruses and thus, ILI or Influenza-Like Illness, not the flu.
The flu shot will probably have no action over these viruses.Real protection requires strengthening your immune system.Remember, viruses and bacteria have no stronghold over us, UNLESS our defense system is weak.So we build it; we build our internal army.
My favorite products for immune support and invigoration are:
Infectostat, a potent anti-viral
IMEncap, with antioxidant vitamins and powerful anti-viral and anti-bacterial herbs, Echinacea and goldenseal
Potent C, a powerful antioxidant and anti-viral immune support product
Stemplex with vitamin D and Super Blue Green Algae, which supports the natural killer cells in the body
FluMax Pro and PNU Pro, easy-to-administer sprays that help protect us from catching the flu virus and pneumonia, great for the entire family
These products should always be used, even if you do catch the flu or have another infection.You will recover more quickly and vitally.
Create your own Natural Medicine Cabinet with these products.To be equipped is to be empowered.Remember, the flu is not a serious disease.

Benefits and Risks of the Annual Flu Shot
Should you get an annual flu shot?
The final decision is yours, and should be made with your doctor.
My purpose is to give you the behind the story facts.
I’m not vehemently pro or anti vaccines. For the record, I’ve never gotten an annual flu shot and don’t intend to. However, in recent years I have been vaccinated against both Hepatitis B and Hepatitis A.
The most important misconception that’s all too prevalent—and the pro-vaccine media barrage promotes it—is that vaccines “protect” you.
Too many people falsely believe that the flu shot acts as a “pre” antibiotic that someone kills the flu virus before they’re even infected with it.
That’d be wrong even if flu viruses could be killed by antibiotics. Which they can’t.
Vaccines are teachers.
Think of your immune system as an army protecting your body from invasions. Your army contains hundreds of millions of weapons (called antibodies). Every possible invader can be killed by one particular antibody.
When you’re invaded, though, it takes up to a week for your immune to learn which antibody works against that particular virus, bacteria or parasite. After that, however, your immune system works as hard as possible to manufacture much more of that antibody and use it against the invading infection.
After the invasion is defeated, your army stores the information about the invader and the antibody into a special biological database (called memory B cells). So if that particular germ infects you again, your immune system can begin effectively fighting back right away.
Vaccines are dead or weakened germs that the flu shot dumps upon the shores of your body for your immune system to find. Your immune system reacts to the threat by trying out antibodies just as though it were a full-scale invasion. After a time, it learns which antibodies to manufacture to defeat that particular strain of virus, and stores that information in the memory B cells.
Therefore, if you’re exposed to a live version of that virus during the coming flu season, your immune system can immediately meet the threat by rolling out the big gun antibodies.
That’s what vaccines do—they train your immune system to defeat a particular virus by giving them a safe, trial-run invasion. They don’t do the actual fighting . . . that’s up to your immune system.
And that’s an important point. Because the stronger your immune system is, the better it defends you, vaccine or no vaccine.
A strong, well-equipped army (that is, a healthy immune system) is better able to fight off an infection than a weak, poorly-equipped army (an unhealthy immune system).
Flu shots are most recommended for people who have weak immune systems: the very young, the very old, the very sick, HIV+, organ transplant recipients, cancer treatment patients and everyone who’s otherwise immuno-compromised.
The medical establishment believes that a weak army has more need for the training provided by the flu vaccine than a strong army, and this makes sense.
No matter your age or health, you should also understand that a strong immune system is better than a weak one, and do all you can to boost your immune system through:
Getting plenty of sleep
Getting regular moderate exercise
Eating healthy foods
Taking immune system boosting nutritional supplements such as Vitamin C, beta carotene, Vitamin E, zinc and selenium.
The various strains of influenza viruses are monitored around the world by the World Health Organization (WHO) through the U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC) and other participating laboratories. Many hospitals and clinics send in samples from flu patients.
Every year around February, influenza experts meet and use this information to make their best, informed guess about which three strains of influenza are most likely to circulate during the coming winter.
They’re experts, so they make scientific guesses, but they don’t have a crystal ball. They can and have been wrong.
Vaccine manufacturers then take six to eight months to manufacture vaccines against those three strains of influenza.
For the upcoming 2007 flu season, the shot contains antigens (inactivated and live, attenuated viruses) for these three influenza strains: A/New Caledonia/20/1999 (H1N1)-like, A/Wisconsin/67/2005 (H3N2)-like and B/Malaysia/2506/2004.
What if the strain of influenza that actually circulates this winter is not one of the above?
You are still vulnerable to infection. So even if you get a flu shot, you should not stop practicing good hygiene. Don’t get close to people sneezing or coughing. Wash your hands often.
Viruses for these vaccines are grown in hen’s eggs, so you should not take the flu vaccine if you have a history of severe hypersensitivity to eggs, such as anaphylaxis.
According to the Center for Disease Control, “Manufacturers might use different compounds to inactivate influenza viruses and add antibiotics to prevent bacterial contamination.”
As with all medical procedures, having a foreign substance injected into your bloodstream involves a certain degree of risk. The FDA and manufacturers guard against contamination, but it’s been present in vaccines in the past. FluMist, which is inhaled, does avoid puncturing the skin.
Three people recently died in Isreal following administration of flu shots. It’s not yet known that the influenza vaccinations even caused or contributed to their deaths (they were old and in poor health anyway—but those are precisely the people most recommended to get flu shots), or how. But this cases illustrates that despite all precautions, there is still some small risk.
One of the big arguments vaccination opponents have made is the use of Thimerosal as a preservative in vaccines. Thimerosal is an organic compound that contains about 50% ethylmercury.
According to the FDA’s online tables dated September 5, 2005, Thimerosal is being phased out from vaccines. There’re only trace amounts in influenza vaccinations from some manufacturers. There’s none in FluMist.
Consult with your doctor, but whether you get a flu shot or not—your best defense against any disease is a healthy immune system.

Types of Flu shot reactions?

What exactly is in a flu shot vaccine? Is formaldehyde one of the ingredients?
I got my flu shot last Friday (so tomorrow makes a week), and my arm is still bothering me. It was sore that evening and the next day. Now it’s almost like it’s throbbing and weak. I feel like I can’t lift with that arm. I’m allergic to formaldehyde, and I heard that it might be one of the preservatives used in the vaccine. I can’t believe that it’s still bothering me and a week has passed. I will call the doctor in the morning.
