FLU SHOT FACTS
It is that time of year again when many people are making the decision about whether to receive the flu shot. Our hopes in providing the following article is to provide you with facts that will better enable you to make informed decisions. The flu vaccine, consumed faithfully by the public without question each year, is not without problems. The vaccine contains formaldehyde, a known cancer causing agent. It also contains the preservative thimerosal, a derivative of mercury, a known neurotoxin linked to brain damage and autoimmune diseases. Aluminum is another flu vaccine ingredient and is also a toxic heavy metal that has been associated with an increased incidence of Alzheimer's Disease. The influenza epidemic that hit North America so strongly in January 2000 was the worst in 5 years. Of interest is the fact that a large percentage of the elderly that contracted the flu did so despite having had their flu shots. One nursing home in Toronto recorded 32 cases of the flu; of those who became ill, 31 had been vaccinated against the flu the month before. Please make an informed decision about this, and have all your questions answered. Vaccines are drugs and can come with side effects that can impact your health now and in the future. Don't forget - inside of us, we already have everything we need to be truly healthy and an immune system that is designed to fight infection ! Consider everyday immune boosting nutrition. Maintain an alkaline diet and take vitamin A and C. ACCORDING TO HUGH FUDENBURG, MD - the world's leading immunogenetisit and 13th most quoted biologist of our time (nearly 850 papers in peer review journals). If an individual has had 5 consecutive flu shots between 1970 - 1980 (the years of the study) his/her chance of developing Alzheimer's Disease is 10 times greater than if they had 1, two or no shots. When asked why Dr. Fudenberg stated that it is due to the mercury and aluminum buildup that is in EVERY flu shot (and in almost all childhood shots). The gradual mercury and aluminum buildup in the brain causes cognitive dysfunction. ALZHEIMERS is now expected to QUADRUPLE. Dr. Fudenberg's comments are from his speech at the NVIC International Vaccine Conference, Arlington VA September, 1997. Alzheimers to Quadruple statement is from the John's Hopkins Newsletter of November, 1998.

FLU SHOT FACTS
Just got this in an email with no website reference so I can't vouch for it' accuracy, but it does pose some interesting questions if the facts are indeed straight.

FLU SHOT FACTS
I believe they quit using mercury as a preservative a few years ago.

FLU SHOT FACTS
Vaccination benefits outweight its side effects. There are side effects in taking any kind of medications. One must determine the risk/benefit and make that decision on there own. Presenting fact on one side is no different than a drug representative coming in to the office and bragging about their product. If you present two sides, then most people will definitely choose flu shots.
And by the way, thimerosal is a preservative in may things. |

FLU SHOT FACTS
personally, I dislike needles and conspiracy possibilities (does anyone really believe there is not something in those shots that will make you prefer McDonald's fries over Jack n the Box?) more than I dislike the flu.
