Flu Vaccination

The medical community would have you believe that it is essential to vaccinate yourself and your family against the flu.  Many people blindly rely upon the advice of their doctor, and don’t realize that they are the customer, the boss, and that their doctor is the employee!  We all have a choice to be informed consumers, and that includes the relationship that we have with our medical providers.  Your doctors may not always be aware of or tell you the risks of what they recommend to you.  There are many dangers in vaccines.  Here’s what your doctor isn’t telling you (for whatever reason) when they recommend vaccination against the flu (or other unnecessary vaccinations for that matter).

The flu vaccine is developed each year based on the “best guess” method.  This means that a guess is made of which strains of the flu may be most prevalent that particular season.  These vaccines contain a live virus that supposedly inoculates people against getting the flu, but what if another strain, or several strains are what is being passed around that year?  You’ll still get the flu and have exposed yourself to nasty toxins from the flu vaccine in the process!

The flu vaccine contains any number of toxic ingredients.  Among these are detergents, formaldehyde, and mercury.  Yes, Mercury, a heavy metal that is known to cause a host of maladies ranging from digestive issues, respiratory issues, cardiovascular disease, memory loss, attention deficit disorder, and neurological dysfunction.  It is well known that an accumulation of heavy metals can cause neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.  It is estimated that the risk for developing Alzheimer’s in the elderly is increased tenfold by receiving the flu vaccination for three to five years consecutively.  The flu vaccine contains much more mercury than the allowable daily limit for exposure.  The amount of mercury in a typical .5 milliliter flu vaccine is approximately 25 micrograms or 50,000 parts per billion (PPB).  The Environmental Protection Agency classifies a hazardous waste liquid at 200 PPB, and the limit for potable drinking water is 2 PPB.

The ineffectiveness of flu vaccinations is well documented.  It does nothing more than lower the body’s immunity, causing side effects in the process.  The symptoms from these side effects can lead to nasty cases of respiratory and pulmonary distress.  This can be particularly dangerous for people that already have a suppressed immune system due to their decreased ability to fight off viruses, since the vaccine can increase their risk for getting the full-blown effects of the flu, and their susceptibility to contracting other contagious diseases.

Truthfully, the push to get vaccinated is really about making money, and not about what’s good for public health and well-being.  Government agencies and pharmaceutical companies make a lot of money on this industry alone; as a result it’s in their best interest to promote vaccination.

Rather than being vaccinated against the flu, you might be better off to opt for boosting your immune function.  There are multiple ways to do that, but here are some suggestions:

– Increase your intake of Vitamin C.  Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps your body to stay healthy and ward off viruses through its immune supporting functions.  It also provides support to the cardiovascular system, and the eyes and skin.

– Consider taking Vitamin D3 as an additional supplement.  Vitamin D is known to support the health of the immune system, brain, and nervous system.  It also helps to regulate insulin levels and aid in managing diabetes.

– Consider taking probiotics.  Probiotics have the capacity of boosting your immune system through their detoxification effects on the colon.  The relationship between a healthy immune system and a healthy gut is at least 70%.

– Oregano essential oil is known for its immune-boosting properties.  It also has the ability to fight and/or ward off infections due to its antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and anti-parasitic qualities.

Heavy Metals

What are “heavy metals”?  Generally speaking, heavy metals include arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, lead, manganese, mercury, nickel, selenium, and thallium. They are called “heavy” because of their relatively high atomic mass or density, weighing in at 5 times or more of that of water. These metals can accumulate in the soft tissues of the body at very low concentrations and cause harm or death to humans, animals, and even plants. Even though the concentrations of these substances may be low, the accumulation over time of small doses can cause them to multiply in strength. One or two micrograms can be enough to cause toxicity or death.

Heavy metals can accumulate in our bodies from a variety of sources.  Vaccinations are a primary culprit, which contain high levels of Mercury. However, old style silver fillings contain the same dangerous substance.  If left to accumulate over time, heavy metals can cause toxicity levels in our bodies that create imbalances and dis-ease.  These imbalances can encompass a variety of maladies to include blindness, endocrine system disruptions, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

What can be done to reduce the accumulation of heavy metals? Many people are now choosing to avoid vaccinations such as the flu shot, and are becoming more educated and vigilant in identifying ways to live a “cleaner” lifestyle.  Anything from buying organics meats, fruits, and vegetables to avoiding the use of pesticides and fertilizers are becoming standard choices.

Several chelating methods are also an option for drawing metals and toxins out of our bodies.  These include substances such as fiber, that can bind and draw toxins from our organs and digestive tract, and keep them away from the brain. There are also certain essential oils that have been proven to be effective in releasing heavy metals from our tissues.  Care must be taken in these processes so as to not cleanse and detoxify too aggressively, or there may be unpleasant symptoms to contend with.
