Flu Shot Shortage: a Blessing in Disguise!

Here’s a Quiz to Discover the Truth about the Influenza Vaccine ... And What You Can Do Right Now!

EUGENE, Ore., Dec. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- It’s that time of year ... Flu Season ... when we turn our heads to cover our faces as people all around us cough & sneeze, trying to avoid the miseries of the flu..For people who think that the flu shot is the solution, please check out these answers:

TRUE or FALSE? Seniors are protected when they receive the flu shot.

FALSE! Most seniors are not protected. Vaccines work by stimulating B cells to produce antibodies to the foreign substance N in this case, the flu virus. But in order for an immune system to do its work and respond properly to the flu vaccine, it must operate efficiently. We know that oftentimes, the elderly and people with compromised immune systems do not produce enough antibodies. The result? Those who really need the vaccine the most wind up being unprotected.

TRUE or FALSE? Vaccinations are not always safe.

TRUE! Here’s why: The flu vaccine is prepared from the fluids of chick embryos innoculated with a specific type(s) of influenza virus. The strains of flu virus in the vaccine are inactivated with formaldehyde and preserved with thimerosal, which is a mercury derivative. Thimerosal can be very toxic to key organs in the body. Health authorities would like us to trust that vaccines are safe, but we’re discovering that we just don’t know enough yet about the long term effects of these vaccines.

TRUE or FALSE? The flu vaccine guarantees that we won’t get the flu.

FALSE! No one knows whether this year’s shot will work to prevent the flu.  In order for flu shots to work, the viruses used in the vaccine must be the same as those you’re exposed to in your environment. The Center for Disease Control states that a mere 27% of recipients are protected if N and only if N the correct viruses are chosen. Each year, the members of the World Health Organization (WHO) collect data on all the new and virulent flu viruses and vote on which three (3) are the most likely to inflict the most damage. WHO then recommends a vaccine that works only against those particular strains.

And if they pick the wrong three? ... hmmmm ...

TRUE or FALSE? Flu shots aren’t the ONLY thing that can keep us from getting the flu.

TRUE! There ARE ways to harness the body’s own natural defenses! While modern medicine seeks to bolster immunity by providing manmade substances to fight for us, “what we really need to do is stimulate or strengthen the body’s own defense mechanisms rather than substitute for them,” says Lorna Vanderhaeghe, author of “The Immune System Cure: Optimize Your Immune System in 30 Days—The Natural Way.” “This way the body’s natural balance is preserved.”
