See book keywords and concepts |  In other words, the overuse of the flu vaccine is related to: (1) overzealous policy makers with good intentions but a lack of knowledge of the evidence; (2) the attitude that "it can't hurt"; and (3) the influence of the profit motive in selling millions of flu vaccines.
Most cases of the so-called flu are actually "influenzalike diseases," that is, infections caused by viruses other than the flu that are not prevented by the flu vaccine. In addition, the influenza vaccine does not prevent the most virulent forms of influenza, the ones that can actually cause death. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Later calculations showed that the relative risk of acquiring GBS during the six weeks after the vaccination was ten times higher if you had been vaccinated than if you had never received the swine flu vaccine.
The cases of GBS that resulted from the swine flu vaccine were no different, in terms of the severity of paralysis and weakness, from those that had emerged in nonvaccinated individuals, except for the fact that those who developed GBS without having been vaccinated were, as in my own case, far more likely to have had an acute illness in the month preceding GBS. | | Epidemiologists wondered if the cause of so many people developing GBS after getting the swine flu vaccine might have been a residual protein taken from the myelin of embryonic chicks that existed in the vaccine through all its manufacturing stages, though the idea that this myelin protein had caused a case of molecular mimicry was a guess at best. Back then, investigators could not imagine that the virus in the vaccine itself was the cause. Still, it seemed a freak occurrence having to do with something unique to the swine flu vaccine.
Then, in 1992, 1993, and 1994, it all happened again. |

See book keywords and concepts |  In an article entitled The flu vaccine Myth, Croft Woodruff presents the case that flu vaccines may actually increase the risk of developing neurological pathologies:
... according to Hugh Fudenberg, md, ... If an individual has had five flu shots between 1970 and 1980 (the years studied) her chances of getting Alzheimer's Disease is 10 times higher than if she had one, two or no shots. When asked why this was so, Fudenberg said it was due to the mercury and aluminum that is in every flu shot (and most childhood shots). |

According to test tube experiments,41 wild indigo stimulates immune function (page 255), which might account for its role in fighting the common cold and flu (page 269). In combination with echinacea, bone-set, and homeopathic arnica, as mentioned above, wild indigo has prevented and reduced symptoms of the common cold in double-blind research. |

Both of these left the entire country without adequate flu vaccine, creating an instant shortage panic. Now, imagine what would happen if there were truly a global killer flu; an influenza virus that mutated and made the cross-species leap from birds to humans. |

See article keywords and concepts |  So, along with the useless dose of the flu vaccine and the pain of getting jabbed in the arm with a needle, you also get, as a bonus, organic mercury, which is a heavy metal linked to neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. It's just one extra, free bonus that the medical community has included at no extra charge, because they are watching out for your health, of course. This is perhaps why people are literally killed each year from flu vaccine shots. |

See book keywords and concepts |  That's the idea behind Medicare's new reimbursement system, called "pay for performance," which offers small bonuses to hospitals for sweating the small stuff, like ensuring that heart attack patients get their aspirin and giving every Medicare recipient who walks through their doors a flu vaccine. This approach assumes that hospitals (and the physicians and nurses who work in them) fail to do what's right because there's no money in it, and that paying them will get them to focus on reducing undertreatment. |

However, a preservative-free vaccine in a single-dose syringe is available. It contains only trace amounts of thimerosal—a residual from early manufacturing steps. Thimerosal is used as a preservative in an amount less than 1 microgram (meg) of mercury per 0.5 milliliter (mL) dose. The regular injectable version contains 25 meg mercury/0.5 mL dose. Ask your doctor about it if you are getting a shot. |

Television stations and newspapers carried stories of the youngest Iowans who suffered. Blue-eyed Caitlin Mouw, just twenty months old, was the first Iowan to die. Her parents said the toddler was struck by both the flu and a case of pneumonia.
"They said it was a mild case of pneumonia, nothing to be concerned about," Dan Mouw, the child's father, told a reporter from KCRG-TV 9 in Cedar Rapids. "It's just an empty place in my heart where she used to be. |

Flu shot: It is possible to protect against infection by getting the flu vaccine. However, the vaccine does not protect against every strain of flu. It is recommended for the elderly, debilitated, immune compromised (people rk who have illnesses that affect their immune systems), asthmatics, and (p chemotherapy patients. Good hand washing is probably the best preventive measure against spreading flu germs. |

Then, in 1992, 1993, and 1994, it all happened again. People developed Guillain-Barre after widescale influenza vaccination programs, cementing the epidemiologic evidence that influenza strains other than the swine flu could also induce GBS. This isn't all that surprising, given Harley and James's discovery that molecular mimicry between a protein in a virus and a protein in the body could lead to autoimmune disease. But it was a startling realization at the time. |

See book keywords and concepts | | For people who have a choice between types of flu vaccine, I recommend FluMist, which contains no mercury and is often available at pharmacies without a prescription.
The flu can be life-threatening for some people. For that reason, if you have risk factors for developing complications from the flu (see below) and aren't eligible to use FluMist, I recommend that you consider getting a preservative-free flu shot in October or November. If a preservative-free vaccine is not available to you, you should still get a flu shot if you fall into any of the following groups... |
Tom Bohager
See book keywords and concepts |  For example, the flu vaccine is comprised of inactive flu virus. When presented to the immune system, the inactive virus acts as a Wanted poster, alerting the immune system to be on the watch for live flu virus when the body is exposed. Short-term immunity, on the other hand can be transferred passively from one individual to another via a serum containing antibodies. In this way, infants are protected by antibodies they receive from their mothers before birth and during breastfeeding. |

See book keywords and concepts | | And yet there is no evidence that the flu vaccine does anything at all. There are no controlled trials that show that a flu shot prevents deaths in children or the elderly. The only positive studies are of patients with COPD, probably because COPD patients have marginal lung function and preventing any flu infections will have a greater impact.
Dr. | | Most cases of the so-called flu are actually "influenzalike diseases," that is, infections caused by viruses other than the flu that are not prevented by the flu vaccine. In addition, the influenza vaccine does not prevent the most virulent forms of influenza, the ones that can actually cause death. | | And even that estimate is optimistic because a substantial number of the elderly who die from influenza are immunocompromised and won't benefit from a flu vaccine anyway.
Pending legislation in the form of the Flu Protection Act will revamp U.S. flu-vaccine policy by requiring the CDC to pay makers for vaccines unsold "through routine market mechanisms." The bill will also require the CDC to conduct a "public awareness campaign" emphasizing "the safety and benefit of recommended vaccines for the public good."
And let me remind you that flu vaccinations are not innocuous. |
Russell L. Blaylock, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  I always warn elderly patients against taking the flu vaccine. Instead, use nutritional supplementation and a healthy diet. It is much more effective and far less hazardous. Multiple studies have shown that the reason the elderly are so susceptible to the flu is because of age-related immune deficiencies, which I will discuss in chapter nine. At any rate, over 50 percent of the time, flu vaccines contain the wrong antigen and will not protect you, and a significant number of the vaccinated elderly actually contract flu because of the vaccine. |

See book keywords and concepts |  What makes matters worse is that there has never been a properly controlled clinical trial with the flu vaccine. Because we don't know anything about its long-term effects, we may be unknowingly producing generations of people with debilitated immune systems and chronic diseases. Flu vaccination is an unproved and unscientific practice and nothing in the scientific literature can certify or guarantee its safety. The most effective way to fight infections, including the flu, is to prevent it. There is no substitute for a health-increasing regimen. | | If it is so dangerous to touch amalgam, it certainly is dangerous to keep it in the mouth 24 hours a day, year after year, or get it injected in the blood with the flu vaccine!
The World Health Organization (WHO) issued a report showing that mercury absorbed from amalgam fillings is up to ten times higher than mercury absorbed from environmental and dietary sources. It is noteworthy to point out that patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Alzheimer's disease have up to ten times the normal mercury levels in their brains. | | Duck, dog, and rabbit viruses were present in the rubella vaccine, avian leucosis virus in the flu vaccine, and pestivirus in the MMR vaccine.
What most people don't know is that some polio vaccines, adenovirus vaccines, rubella and hepatitis A and measles vaccines have been made with aborted human fetal tissue. Dr. Davis found what he believed were bacterial fragments and poliovirus in these vaccines from time to time which may have come from that fetal tissue. In addition, he also found "fragments" of human hair and human mucus. | | Besides the subvirion, plenty of other substances are added to the flu vaccine, most of which you would never want to consciously ingest. These include:
• Hemagglutinin antigens that cause clumping of the red blood cells, leading to cardiovascular disease.
• The enzyme neuraminidase, which cuts out neuraminic acid from the cell membrane, weakening all of the trillions of cell membranes in the body.
• A white crystalline substance called allantoin, a toxic animal waste product. Due to its high nitrogen content, allantoin is used as fertilizer; it leads to kidney and bladder stones in humans. | | Like so many other live virus vaccines, the nasal spray flu vaccine called FluMist contains MSG in the form of monosodium glutamate. Monosodium glutamate is described as a "mutagen and reproductive effector" by the Centers for Disease Control in their Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances.
More and more personal care products that are labeled "organic" actually contain free glutamic acid (MSG). Soon soaps, shampoos, and other body care products will have glutamate surfactants in them, as well as products that contain hydrolyzed proteins. | | Seniors, of course, are one of the core target groups for the flu vaccine program. So every year we're told how older people are particularly vulnerable to the flu. We're also told that government officials are holding their breath over their fear of a devastating flu pandemic. We're even told that about 36,000 people die of flu-related complications in the United States each year, and most of those deaths are elderly people. The reality of the matter is quite different, though. How many people do you think died of the flu last year? Less than 175, according to Sherri J. Tenpenny, D.O. |
