Thread Name: BS: Flu Shot Yesterday, Flu Today?
Subject: RE: BS: Flu Shot Yesterday, Flu Today?
What a racket it is!

The medical practitioner I go to, and who, I might add, is far and away the best medical practitioner I have ever found in my entire life, believes that flu shots are generally more harmful than the flu they are supposed to protect you from. And furthermore, that they kill more people than the flu does.

And I believe it too.

I have never gotten a flu shot. I never seem to get the flu either. Sometimes I get a mild cold, but I can't recall getting anything I would term "the flu" since maybe the mid-70s.

There's plenty of alternative literature out there about what flu shots do to you. I suggest doing a little reading. But...if you continue trusting the mainstream medical associations like the AMA and their partners in crime, the drug companies, then you won't do that alternative reading.

Fine with me. It's up to you how you decide to deal with your health and up to me how I decide to deal with mine.

I take no flu shots. No antacids. No laxatives. No painkillers (except a rare aspirin for a migraine). No antibiotics. No antidepressants. No mood-altering drugs of any kind. No drugs to suppress a runny nose (which is the body's attempt to detoxify itself). No stimulants. No muscle relaxants. No prescriptions.   No F-ing meds whatsoever.

Instead....drink enough water, get enough exercise, get enough sunlight, maintain a positive mental attitude, find activities and people in your life that make you happy, eat real food (specially fresh vegetables), and remove any major causes of stress. You will get quite healthy with such a lifestyle, and your immune system will be strong...but it won't make any money for the AMA or the drug companies! If 120 million people did it, the AMA and the drug companies would be pretty much out of business, except for dealing with physical traumas resulting from accidents. They're good at fixing structural damage like that, because they treat the body like a dumb, helpless machine, not an intelligent, self-healing organism.
