A few years ago my doctor insisted on my having it for flue and pneumonia. Just in 10 days after this I got the flue, much worse than the ones I had in previous years.Hardly had I got rid off the flue as I developed pneumonia. It was a shocking months of taking all kinds of tablets to get better.But this is not all. In a week I had another flue and in the following month I had another kind of pneumonia... No vaccines any more! You’re absolutely right about the vaccination.

I noticed the flu shot section completely by accident as I was most interested in reversing bone loss. I do have a comment. Going back approx. 20 years it seemed I would get severe bronchitis every year, sometimes more than once, and several times I was close to being addmitted to the hospital. For probably 10 years now I have been getting the flu shot and have not had one instance of bronchitis, sometimes mild flu symtoms but nothing that puts me in bed. So I am sceptical about quitting the practice, as I really felt so sick it was scary. Thanks for listening. Truly, Chris Byrne Hello Vivian, I am really interested in everything I’m reading.

Your article on the flu shot was of great interest to read as for years I have been against taking it until my doctor persuaded me to take the shots twice. I refused to take them from now on as after taking the 2nd one I came down with flu-like symptoms. I am 67 years of age and have always taken multi-vitamins and calcium with Vitamin D but have learnt that Vitamin D3 is best to take. Have you heard of a supplement called Tre-en-en by GNLD? This has been introduced to me by a friend and I am just wondering how beneficial this is. Thanks again for all your articles. Best wishes. Hi Vivian,

We have never opted to take the flu-shot as we are an overall healthy family and aside from a once or twice incidence with the "24 hour stomach bug" when the kids were younger, have not dealt fortunately with "the flu". My oldest and only daughter started college this year. On an academic scholarship and a top student at any University in the country she was fine and healthy and on her way. She got the seasonal flu shot based on the media hype and being in an environment "everyone needed the flu shot" this past October. Her life has changed. Within 8 hours she awoke with rash and fever, it has been a cycle of steroids, rheumatogists, fevers, and heartache since. A track potential she now has documented asthma and persistent heartburn because of the steroids necessary to control her fevers. QUESTION THE FLU SHOT AND THEN QUESTION IT AGAIN. If I could only go back to the phone call, Mom, everyone is getting the flu-shot and ___ can take me today. He is getting his too, do you think it's OK? I can only hope my answer hasn't permanently changed my babie's life. I am the mother of 4.

It is so clear to me - the big picture. apparently, our beloved Dr. Oz makes lots of money off the flu shots being given, and apparently, his wife would not get the flu shot for her kids.

Your comments would be appreciated. You say “The human body is fully equipped with mechanisms to stave off viruses and germs”

As a hospital nurse, I am exposed to many viruses, bacteria, and every type of body fluid. I decline the flu shot my employer encourages us to take each year. I count on divine intervention, rest, exercise, diet and supplements to keep me well. I have not missed a day of work in about a decade. Unfortunately, we are expected to vaccinate all patients who fall into certain high risk groups. These patients are already compromised and we are expected to "distract" their immune systems at a vulnerable time. I do what I can to avoid giving these injections which are ordered per protocol and not for the individual by the MD. I am very suspicious when there are millions of dollars to be made by mass treatments. Thank you for the interesting information on the flu shot.
