Do Not Rely On A Flu Shot To Stay Healthy

Do Not Rely On A Flu Shot To Stay Healthy

I think it is safe to say that nobody wants to get sick; it’s kind of a given. Some take the proper precautions on a daily basis in order to stay healthy. They eat right, take the necessary vitamins, exercise, and get sufficient rest. It seems like this lifestyle would lead one down the road to excellent health. It seems that some have come to the conclusion that injecting a virus laden vaccine will do the job in making us immune to the flu. Have you ever wondered what exactly is in a flu shot?

The flu shot consists of three influenza viruses – The Influenza A strain, an H1N1 strain (the same name but unlike the pandemic 2009 strain), and the Influenza B strain. Apparently, the individual strains vary from year to year. According to the Center for Disease Control, the viruses in the flu shot are “inactivated” which means they are no longer capable of causing infection. Interestingly, they say that the viruses are never alive and they cannot be killed like bacteria. If they are “never alive” then why do they need to be inactivated?

One of the components used to “inactivate” the virus is a derivative of formaldehyde, a known highly toxic human carcinogen. Does that sound healthy to you? It reminds me of one of those drugs that cures one thing and causes 10 other problems to the body. Additionally, multi-dose vials of the H1N1 vaccine approved by the FDA contain thimerisol, a mercury containing compound. I am now convinced that I don’t want this shot anywhere near my body. How do you feel?

There are some who are forced to get this shot at their places of employment. I have a good friend who works as a nurse and she said that the flu shot was mandatory. If she refused to take the shot she would have to wear a mask for three months. It might seem a bit uncomfortable but the mask sounds very inviting to me.

Are you looking for a 100% natural way to stay healthy where you do not have to worry about injecting viruses with trace amounts of formaldehyde and thimerisol in your body just to stay healthy? There is a product called Immunocal – a very unique whey protein that boosts your immune system naturally. Its main component is an amino acid called cysteine, which is a precursor that your body needs to activate its main antioxidant called glutathione. Studies have shown that having high levels of glutathione promotes a very strong immune system. Try it as a natural alternative to the flu shot.
