What's In A Flu Shot?

Isn't it strange how the government requires a listing of ingredients in the food we buy, but not in the vaccines we get? Don't you find that a bit odd? As the push for flu vaccines intensifies, more people succumb to these urgings. But what are the alternatives?

Personally, I find it both disturbing and sad that so many people succumb to the media hype. Around about the end of September, the ads on TV go into full swing, the doctors, pharmacists, and other 'professionals', along with co-workers, friends, family, etc., begin nudging us about getting our flu shot. It's a fear-filled circus sponsored by none other that the Mighty Drug Companies.

So sad.

As holistic practitioners, it's quite likely many here don't even consider a flu shot. In the event that you do (or are considering one), I thought it might be a good time to offer this up and nudge you in the other direction. There are a good many reasons why NOT to have a flu shot. Aside from the obvious reason, Dr. Ben Kim also gives some not-so-well-known facts about these vaccines on his site DrBenKimDOTcom. (sorry folks. No code allowed here. Just type it in.)

I've attached the video here (which, by the way, is also posted on Dr. Kim's site. The man has a terrific sense of humor!) It's quite short, so do take the time to have a look. It's funny too. And as we all know, laughter is some of THE BEST medicine, yes?

So remember: when everyone around you is getting ill, hold your ground! Keep laughing, eat well, exercise, meditate, drink lots of water and be sure to get plenty of good rest. You don't need a flu shot! Your body is fully capable of warding off this virus on its own.
