More Facts on Dangers of Flu Mist |  |
"Look, first of all you have 2/3rds of the population on aspartame which interacts with all vaccines. Secondly, the CDC has admitted this is not the same strain as the flu that is here. Of course it couldn't be, its made from last year's flu vaccine. So even if someone wasn't using aspartame, all it can do is give you the flu. On an Ohio radio show Nov. 25,2003, a doctor stated 'If you have taken the flu shot more than 8 times in the last 10 years you have an 80% chance of getting Alzheimers'. Since aspartame is escalating Alzheimers anyway, and memory loss is so prevalent with aspartame its like #9 on the FDA list of 92 symptoms, people won't have a chance.

Immunize NATURALLYThe first question we should be asking ourselves is "Why Do We Get Sick?" in the first place. So: Why Do We Get Sick? The simplest answer is that we get sick because our immune system has weakened. But why does our immune system weaken? People get sick when the body lacks the proper nutrients to sustain a strong enough immune system to ward off viruses when they attack the body, allowing colds and flu to terrorize the body. It is scientifically impossible for the body to contract any disease when its immune system contains enough of the proper nutrients. Scientifically, colds and flu are just another sign of a deficiency in the body, but not a deficiency of a pharmaceutical drug or a flu vaccine. In this case, it is a deficiency of calciferol, metabolite, and amino acid. Research has found that by using these in the correct form, colds were defeated within 2 hours to 2 days without adding to the body's Proteolytic enzyme bank. Research has not been published regarding swine flu (incidentally, neither have the ingredients of the vaccinations they are encouraging you to take), but this same science should apply. Why do Insider Doctors and Scientists warn against flu vaccinations? In the 1976 swine flu outbreak, many who were vaccinated developed permanent nerve damage (over 4,000 cases reported). Flu vaccines can contain many harmful materials, such as: detergent, mercury, formaldehyde, ether, and many even contain some live flu virus. Is this what you want to put in YOUR body? How does a healthy immune system protect you? Here's the way they work. You contract a virus. The nutrient calciferol breaks down the cell wall of the virus. that leaves it open to destruction by the body's immune system. The "warrior" cells in the body attack and engulf the virus, rip it into pieces, and carry it back to the liver, where all toxins are processed. The "warrior" cells (like Macrophages, T-cells, etc.) are rehabilitated in the liver and sent back out to work again. The destroyed virus is flushed out of the body. The body is repairing itself every minute, every second, and every millisecond of every day. The spillage, or overflow, of the amount needed for repair is used to create hydrogen peroxide in the blood (yes, hydrogen peroxide). This substance kills viruses immediately on contact (that's why you use it to clean out a wound). It also assists in the increase of the population of disease destroying white "warrior" blood cells, which engulf and rip viruses into pieces. When we are experiencing stress, or fatigue, that overflow goes toward overcoming and neutralizing the bad effects of stress. If the body doesn't have enough enzymes and metabolites to keep these immune factors at its peak, we get sick. (As a side note: "Vitamins" D and C are NOT vitamins. They are metabolites, and as such can morph to destroy viruses.) What does the body need to boost the immune system? Doctors and Scientists recommend a minimum of 3,000 mg of metabolite, 5,000 i.u. calciferol, paired with 3,000 mg of amino acids to avoid colds, flu, or any other pathogen. That's it!!! (If you already have one of these, increases the amounts by 1 gram metabolite and 5,000 i.u. calciferol per hour, up to 50,000 i.u. per day...possible side effects - diarrhea. If the symptoms of the illness are gone in a few hours, continue the minimum daily amounts to keep the body's immune system prepared. If the illness isn't gone in 3 days, your medical care provider will want to know.) CALCIFEROL - The calciferol is in a specific, but erroneously named, form called Vitamin D3. 90% of the population is deficient of this metabolite. Researchers have eliminated the threat of flu with 2,000 i.u.'s of Vitamin D3 daily, but it takes a few months to get the amount up to the healthy level of 65 nanos/mL in the system (flu occurs at about 15 nanos). Note: it is recommended that Vitamin D3 should NOT be consumed with Vitamin A (Retinol form) in order to receive the full benefit of the nutrient in the D3. METABOLITE - The metabolite is buffered mineral ascorbate - the same form originally created in the body, which no longer exists there. This is essential to the repair of the collagen matrix, which is the glue that holds the body together. It's most basic form is called Vitamin C, and is also used in diabetes reversal. Scientists recommend a minimum of 3,000 mg per day. AMINO ACIDS - The amino acids are lysine and proline in an exact ratio. Doctors discovered that the spread of all pathogens within the human body are blocked by a scientific minimum of lysine, but it takes a little while to get the level needed up to 1.1 lbs./150 lbs. of body weight. (Lysine is the component drug companies COPIED to prevent the spread of herpes, cold sores, and shingles.) What do you do next? After countless hours researching doctors and scientists discoveries, many of whom are Nobel Prize winners, the simple answers have been discovered. By adding calciferol, metabolites, and amino acids (in the proper proportions) to your body, colds, flu, and other viruses can be easily eliminated and prevented. We have developed an immune building Cold and Flu Kit which contains the proper balance of nutrients to build a strong and healthy immune system.

The dangers of the Flu and the Flu Vaccines By Dr. Joseph Mercola Like diehard fans camping out overnight to be the first in line for concert tickets to their favorite performer, people are waiting in long lines hoping to get the flu vaccine. Yes, it's that time of year -- flu season and the media and the government have stirred the public into complete panic mode. Headlines flood newspapers reading, "Vaccine shortage leads public crisis" and on the hour radio broadcasts are bombarding the public with reports that the flu epidemic is coming and there aren't enough vaccines to fight it. Before You Run Out to Get the Flu Shot ... Do Your Homework It's becoming increasingly difficult to separate facts from the hype created by the media and government officials. In order to make an informed decision of whether or not to get the flu shot, it is of utmost importance to do your homework. This involves doing thorough research of the safety issues surrounding the flu vaccination and then learning the preventative measures against getting the flu in the first place. The Target Markets for the Flu Vaccine: Elderly and Children Generally, the flu vaccine is recommended for people ages 65 and older and to those with serious medical conditions that could quickly worsen as a result of serious complications from the flu. Reports from medical journals widely vary in the effectiveness for the elderly, ranging from 0 to 85 percent. The CDC reports that 90 percent of deaths from influenza occur among the elderly. These kinds of statistics make it nearly impossible to credit the flu vaccine for prolonging lives in this age group, as 65 percent of all deaths (regardless of the cause) happen among the elderly. Further, there are potential dangers to the flu vaccine, particularly to the already vulnerable elderly population. Dr. Hugh Fudenberg, one of the world's leading immunogeneticists, states the chances of getting Alzheimer's disease is 10 times higher if an individual has five consecutive shots than if they have one, two or no shots. This is likely due to the thimerosol (a mercury-derived preservative) and aluminum content of the vaccine. Recommendations to give flu vaccinations to children were adopted on March 1, 2003. These recommendations include vaccinating children between 2 and 18 years who live in households containing children younger than 2 years of age. The most common type of flu vaccine given to children is called Fluzone, with each dose containing 25 ug of mercury. CDC recommendations include administering the flu vaccine to children beginning at six months of age and then on an annual basis, for the rest of their lives. Does the Flu Vaccine Really Work? The flu vaccine can actually weaken the immune system and make you more predisposed to the illness. The flu vaccine, whether in the shot or nasal form, is worthless at best and should be avoided. Not only are they loaded with toxic chemicals including mercury and aluminum, but many people come down with the flu shortly after receiving the shot. This is because it actually weakens the immune system, making the person more predisposed to the illness. The Dangers You Need to Know About FluMist First, it is important to familiarize yourself with the side effects of FluMist, which include cough, runny nose/nasal congestion, irritability, headaches, chills, muscle aches and fever. Ironically, all of these symptoms bear striking similarities to the symptoms of the flu. In addition, research has shown an increased risk of Bell palsy following intranasal flu vaccination, according to the Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety (GACVS). The makers of the nasal flu vaccine in the study decided not to market it the following season due to the risk. According to GACVS, the greater risk of Bell palsy following immunization with this vaccine may have been due to specific vaccine components, or simply to use of the intranasal administration route. It is therefore possible that such complications of vaccine administration may also apply to other nasal vaccines. The new live-virus vaccine (FLUMIST), which is squirted up the nose, was licensed by the FDA in June 2003 for use in healthy individuals between the ages of five and 50. It is not recommended for pregnant women or those with asthma, chronic lung or heart disease; chronic underlying medical conditions such as diabetes or kidney disorders; immune suppression or immune system problems; children or adolescents receiving aspirin therapy, anyone allergic to eggs; or those with a history of Guillain Barre syndrome. It should not be given simultaneously with other vaccines. FLUMIST's vaccine live virus is shed after vaccination so the vaccinated are advised to avoid close contact with immune-compromised individuals for at least 21 days. Some hospital personnel are asking those recently vaccinated with FLUMIST to avoid visiting patients in hospitals to prevent the risk of transmitting the vaccine strain virus to sick patients. Source: http://www.mercola.com/2004/oct/27/flu_options.htmBy Dr Sherri Tenpenny www.nmaseminars.com News reports have been flooding us with articles warning that the impending flu season may be the worst in years. Even though it is difficult to separate the facts from the hype, a close evaluation of the flu vaccine will reveal that serious questions must be raised about the recommendations that are routinely touted, namely high efficacy with little risk. Anyone considering a flu shot should become informed about the substances coming through that needle, and should be determined to investigate the safety and efficacy issues that are still unresolved. The vaccine virus Each year, a new vaccine is developed that contains three different viruses (one influenza B and two influenza A strains). CDC officials select the new viruses based on which viruses were prevalent during the flu season in China and Australia the previous year. The CDC admits that the viruses selected for the new vaccine are chosen on the basis of an “educated guess.” [i] What’s in a flu shot? The influenza virus is grown in “specific pathogen-free” (SPF) eggs. Eggs are tested for a variety of agents—usually between 23 and 31—to confirm the absence of those specific pathogens. Laboratories limit the number of agents that are screened due to the shear abundance of potential viruses and/or bacteria to choose from. In addition, screening for every potential agent would be cost prohibitive.[ii] If none of the tested agents are detected, the vaccine is reported as “pathogen free.” However, it should be understood that there is a distinct difference between “pathogen free” and “specific pathogen-free.” In its July 1996 report, the Institute of Medicine acknowledged that “although it is not possible to produce a completely uncontaminated animal, it is possible to produce an animal [or egg] certified to be free of specific pathogens.”[iii] Viruses that are harmless to their animal host, however, may be potentially harmful to humans. During the manufacturing process, antibiotics (neomycin, polymyxin B and gentamicin) are added to eliminate stray bacteria found in the mixture. The final solution can contain the following additives in any combination: Triton X-100 (a detergent); polysorbate 80 (a potential carcinogen); gelatin; formaldehyde; and residual egg proteins. In addition, many of the influenza vaccines still contain thimerosal as a preservative. Thimerosal (mercury) is being investigated for its link to brain injury and autoimmune disease. Does the flu shot protect? There are no guarantees that the influenza viruses selected for the vaccine will be the identical strains circulating during a given flu season. In fact, it has recently been announced that this year's flu vaccine does not include the strain that is being reported by doctors in the community called the “A Fujian” strain. Outbreaks have been reported in Texas, Colorado and elsewhere[iv] that involve strains that do not match the current flu vaccine. CDC tests have confirmed that more than 80 per cent of the 55 strains of influenza virus isolated thus far are the A Fujian strain. Even so, the CDC still maintains that the current vaccine could provide cross-protection against the new variant, but the fact is, no one knows for sure. Moreover, the majority of illnesses characterized by fever, fatigue, cough and aching muscles are not caused by the influenza virus. Non-influenza viruses (e.g., rhinoviruses respiratory syncytial virus [RSV], adenoviruses, and parainfluenza viruses) can cause symptoms referred to influenza-like illnesses (ILI). Certain bacteria, such as Legionella spp., Chlamydia pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and Streptococcus pneumoniae, have been documented as the causes of ILI.[v] Notably, these microbes are not part of the flu vaccine. Unless an organism’s antigen is contained within the vaccine, there is no protection conferred by the vaccine. It is estimated that most adults will average 1-3 episodes of ILI, and most children will average 3-6 episodes. The CDC also admits that “many persons who have been vaccinated against influenza can still get the flu”[vi] A serious concern: Alzheimer’s Disesase Hugh Fudenberg, MD, an immunogeneticist and biologist with nearly 850 papers published in peer review journals, has reported that if an individual had five consecutive flu shots between 1970 and 1980 (the years studied), his/her chances of getting Alzheimer's Disease is ten times higher than if they had zero, one, or two shots.[vii] Dr. Boyd Haley, Professor and Chair of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Kentucky, Lexington has done extensive research in the area of mercury toxicity and the brain. Haley’s research has established a likely connection between mercury toxicity and Alzheimer’s disease. [viii] In a paper published in collaboration with researchers at University of Calgary, Haley stated that “seven of the characteristic markers that we look for to distinguish Alzheimer's disease can be produced in normal brain tissues, or cultures of neurons, by the addition of extremely low levels of mercury.”[ix] Does this prove that the mercury contained in the influenza shot can be directly linked to Alzheimer’s? No, absolutely not. But further research in this area is critically needed because the absence of proof is not the “proof of absence.”[x] Flu vaccine now for children The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) adopted a resolution effective March 1, 2003 that expanded the use of the influenza vaccine to include children aged 6-23 months. The recommendations also included vaccinating those aged 2 to 18 years who live in households containing children younger than 2 years of age.[xi] The flu vaccine most commonly given to children is Fluzone>, a trivalent vaccine grown in chicken eggs. Harvested with formaldehyde and containing the recommended ratio of 15 ug of each of the three prototype viral strains, each dose of Fluzone> also contains 25 ug of mercury.[xii] The new CDC recommendations include giving the influenza vaccine to children beginning at six months of age and then annually, for the rest of their lives. Children less than age 9 receiving their first flu shot, two doses of vaccine are recommended, with a minimum interval of one month between the two doses. However, the CDC does not provide a direct reference to substantiate this recommendation.[xiii] On June 17, 2003, the FDA approved an intranasal influenza vaccine for use in healthy persons aged 5–49 years. Flumist> is a live-virus vaccine that can cause a litany of problems. (for further information on Dangers of FluMist) Alternatives? If you choose not to receive the flu shot, have a discussion with your doctor regarding other options. However, some simple and possibly quite effective things you can do for yourself to prevent the flu include: 1) avoid white sugar;[xiv] 2) exercise regularly; 3) get adequate sleep; 4) eat a healthy diet, omitting trans-fats; 5) drink plenty of purified water daily and 6) wash your hands. A common way people contract viral illnesses is by rubbing their nose or their eyes after their hands have been contaminated with a virus. The CDC states, “the most important thing you can do to keep from getting sick is to wash your hands.”[xv] We are so used to taking medications—for prevention and treatment—that it is difficult to comprehend that these modest recommendations are really the most powerful ways to minimize the likelihood of getting the flu. Making the decision You may decide to consult a physician who is schooled in alternative medicine to assess a variety of options for you and your family. What is most important, in the end, is to become as informed as possible regarding your options for keeping healthy and avoiding the flu. REFERENCES [i] Sabin, Russel and Reynolds.
