Alternatives to the Flu Vaccine

 

 

 

I can think of very few more insane holiday events than having parents and

children wait in long lines at shopping malls, supermarkets, hospitals and

clinics to get a flu vaccination, worrying that the supply might run out before

they step up to get the shot. They have been convinced that the flu vaccine will

save them from the terrible flu bug that has already killed six children in

Colorado and six people in Oklahoma. It is a dangerous way of thinking, as you

will read below.

 

When I first started practicing medicine over 20 years ago, the flu vaccine was

only indicated for those over 60 years if age or with chronic health conditions.

Now, experts are predicting that we will see even more flu vaccinations

recommended than we have already seen. A Mayo Clinic professor and a member of

the CDC advisory committee on immunization predicted that we will continue to

see a broadening of the recommendation for influenza immunization.

 

The new FluMist nasal spray, which costs three times as much as the injectable

form of the vaccine, was supposed to be the answer to the nearly unavailable

shot. While FluMist was expected to be a hit among the needle-shy, the company

said in November that it had distributed just 400,000 doses of the spray,

although it had made about four million. The demand for it is now sharply

rising. However, one important point you need to know is that BOTH forms of

these vaccines are full of toxins, like mercury, aluminum and phenol. Still,

these vaccines are now recommended ANNUALLY for just about everyone. Can you

even begin to imagine the cumulative toxicity of injecting phenol, mercury and

aluminum into your body every year?

 

Why Flu Vaccine Isn't Good For You

 

Beyond the toxins in the vaccines, though, those who obtain the immunization are

in for a big surprise: the flu vaccine will actually do little to protect them

from the flu. The influenza virus is merely an innocent bystander. Most people

have been lead to believe – by the pharmaceutical powers that dominate

conventional medicine and really like your money – that viruses like the flu bug

are the problem. They are not the problem. The real problem is that many people,

in fact most people in the U.S. now, have weakened and impaired immune systems

that are unable to function as they’re designed to because of our horrendous

dietary habits (the same culprit behind the obesity and chronic disease

epidemics in the U.S.)

 

So pay close attention to this fact: If you are one of the many whose immune

system has been impaired by the “American diet” rich in sugars, grains,

processed foods, fast foods, and all the other junk, putting so much faith and

credence in a single vaccine against the flu is like fireproofing one door in

your house when the rest of your home is saturated in gasoline. A vaccine won’t

“save you” from the flu, much less from far more serious diseases, because your

underlying defenses – your immunity – are seriously dysfunctional, and there are

far too many potential “invaders” to ward off via the artificial means of

vaccination.

 

Still many people, apparently the majority of people, allow themselves to be

brainwashed with the hype surrounding vaccinating against the latest flu bug. It

is a vicious cycle of thinking, really, as there will be new resistant strains

of flu bugs, and then more new bugs after that and after that, and so the

perceived “need” for vaccines against them will rise … until everyone is

injecting or inhaling these things in such a frenzied manner that you’d think

they were all addicted to heroin or cocaine. And the drugs companies will

continue laughing all the way to the bank.

 

How to Stop Worrying About Flu Vaccinations for Good

 

Avoid the brainwashing. It only takes stepping back from the hype for a moment

to realize the following is just pure common sense: if your body’s immunity

level is where it is naturally supposed to be, you won’t have to worry about

this flu vaccination issue every winter. For that matter, you’ll get to be much

less concerned about getting cancer, heart disease, and all of the other very

serious chronic diseases out there, too. Because your body, when you are eating

the proper diet, is designed to stave off these bugs and all the “bad” invaders.

 

It constantly amazes me how many people ask “should I take this vaccine” (or

some pill) and, when I tell them they should instead focus on eating properly if

they want to avoid the flu, other illnesses and disease, and all the drug

company hype, they look at me as if I were speaking Swahili. Most Americans want

a quick fix, but while that might work in other areas of their life, the quick

fix approach is not healthcare.

 

On that note, it’s important to remember the revealing study researchers did

over 60 years ago. In 1938, the only laboratory animal that could contract polio

by experimental inoculation was the monkey. All other laboratory animals were

completely resistant to the polio virus, including the rabbit. The researchers

could not infect these rabbits with polio – that is, until they lowered their

blood sugar in a way that also occurs in humans after they eat sugar. So the

take-home message is that if you want to avoid the flu, avoid sugar like the

plague. Avoiding sugar is the single most important physical factor that you can

address to avoid the flu.

 

What Should You Do if You DO Get the Flu?

 

Preventing the flu (and other illnesses) as described in greater detail below is

obviously " your best medicine. " But if you do get the flu, one of the most

important and simple things you can do is to use hydrogen peroxide in your ears.

Yes folks, simple hydrogen peroxide, about a half of a capful in each ear,

several times a day, is more than likely to abort the flu reaction. I didn't

believe it when I first saw it, but I have now seen many hundreds of cases that

have been rapidly aborted with the use of hydrogen peroxide. You can read my

original posting on peroxide for this purpose. It costs less than a penny, so

you really don't have much to lose. Give it a try. I can guarantee you that it

is less toxic and more effective than any flu vaccine on the planet.

 

But again, please remember the ultimate treatment for the flu is proactive

prevention. Eat the right foods, avoid the junk, get plenty of rest and stay

emotionally balanced - all presented in detail in my new book -- and you and the

flu symptoms will likely never meet.
