Flu Facts and Fiction
This
information is purely for you, the consumer, to learn more about the
pros and cons of the flu shot. This is one of the most common questions
I receive, especially in the late summer and early fall. This is
not in any way a chiropractic issue and being as such, I do
not make any recommendations either way, but encourage you to be
informed before making the choice. We should have control over
what we put into our bodies.
There are over 900 viruses that can cause human flu. Viruses
mutate quickly, so the idea that one can pick which bug is going to be
"out" the next winter season is preposterous. Even if
you could know which virus would be the next bad bug, it would mutate
into a different form making any vaccine against it worthless.
So fact # 1: The flu vaccine does not work. The government
says so every late winter when they realize that, once again, they
picked the wrong virus. "But it is still good that you got
it" -- Oh really, why is that?? A study done a few years
ago stated that it is especially not effective in the elderly.
Yet they target this group with scare tactics and so on.
Pregnant?? RUN AWAY FROM THIS POISON.
The flu vaccine is loaded with chemicals including mercury, formaldehyde,
ethylene glycol (radiator fluid) and aluminum. Both mercury and
aluminum are known to settle in the brain and be a contributing cause
of Alzheimer's disease. See the videos below for more
information. Fact # 2: The flu vaccine is not safe for
ANYONE to have.
Per the Nuremberg
trials post World War II, human experimentation is immoral and
illegal. While the US claims that upwards of 36,000 people die
annually of the flu, their own records show this number to be in the
hundreds (* see video below). As with any disease process, those that die
of the flu, usually die from complications such as pneumonia
because of a weakened immune system. This is the result of other
conditions like cancer, malnutrition and so on. The best remedy
for the flu (regular or swine) is PREVENTION. This absolutely
includes chiropractic care! During the 1918 flu pandemic that
killed upwards of 40 million people (it was at the end of WW I so
there was wide spread malnutrition and poor living conditions), the
chance of dying with the flu if under the care of various health
care providers was as follows:
Medical care: 1 out of 17 died. Osteopathic care: 1 out of 36 died.
Chiropractic care: 1 out of 886! This ratio was repeated from
town to town and state to state in the USA.
How could this be? Getting
specifically adjusted boosts the immune system (as was proven with
various studies done over the past 20 + years). This is accomplished
by an increase of your white blood cells (the germ fighters) of up to
400% each time your spine is adjusted. So YES, get adjusted
regularly. Enuf said here.
Onward to nutrition. Vitamin D3.
Vitamin D3. Vitamin D3. Do I need to say it again? IF
you have NOT had your levels checked yet, see me or your MD for a
script. The test I prefer is called 25 (OH)D. Depending on
your levels, I will recommend to first, boost your blood concentration
of D, and then, maintain this throughout the winter. Other
claimed benefits of D by different studies include help with depression, anxiety, better bone
density and improved energy levels. It is imperative that you
take natural Vitamin D known as Cholecalciferol or D3. The
artificial stuff (D2 or ergocalciferol) is made by radiating fungus
and does not exist naturally in the human body. It is not
effective in raising Vitamin D levels, is cheaper and is the type of
Vitamin D found in that prescription your medical doctor gave you. We
have D3 available in 1000 and 5000 unit capsules as well as in 1000
unit liquid drops. A tablespoon of Cod Liver Oil contains 1200
units of D3. No, it does not taste bad!!
Other immune boosting supplements include
Vitamin C (recommended daily through out the winter and spring).
We have 2 different chewable tablets as well as a buffered
(non-acidic) capsule. Daily probiotics (good bacteria) are
essential. We carry chewable and capsules. Astragalus
Root is excellent as well as garlic, selenium and zinc. We also
carry a product called LDM-100 which is made from the desert parsley.
Native Americans used this for respiratory infections (flu) as it is
effective against bacteria, viruses and fungus infections. I
recommend adults take a half a dropper full (diluted in water or
juice) daily. At the first sign of a bug, take a dropper full 3
or 4 times a day or more if severe. Remember, all of our
supplements are high grade products that we make available to you at
wholesale prices. Our fish oil is the same brand sold in a local
health food store at more than half the price!!
Other things to do include the common sense stuff: Exercise
regularly, Relax and have fun, Get 8 or more hours of sleep a day, Drink
plenty of good water, Avoid sugar, artificial and refined foods
(junk food, Etc.), Stay home if you are feeling ill, Wash your hands
regularly and do NOT use a lot of soap when showering or bathing.
Many authorities recommend avoiding regular daily bathing in the winter.
The oil on your skin is an important defense against bacteria and
viruses. If you wash it off, you loose this barrier (as well as
washing away any Vitamin D you made over the past 48 hours). I
suggest using soap only where you may needed it and just rinse off with
water everywhere else. (Google the Hygiene Hypothesis). If
you do get the flu, drink plenty of liquids (water) and rest. For
infections that seem beyond your ability to fight, see your medical
provider to counter the possibility of a secondary infection.
Let's go back to the Swine Flu of 1976.
Government health authorities spread panic, rushed a vaccine to
production, which lead to 517 cases of paralysis and other very serious
problems, and 23 cases of death, from Guillane-Barre Syndrome. Yes, all
this was from the flu vaccine, not the flu. What was the actual toll of
the swine flu of 1976 itself? 13 actual cases of the flu, with one
resulting death. So, mortality-wise, the flu vaccine was 23 times
more deadly than the flu itself. Will history repeat itself? Many
suggest that this new flu is man made because it is a combination of
swine, bird and human. How is this possible? A lab
experiment gone bad? Greed leading to an experimental vaccine gone
wild? Mutation (unlikely)? The more man moves away from
nature, the price we all pay will be higher. I know that my family
will not be a human test tube. Please click on the below web sites
