Is there such a thing as Flu Season...?
Or is this the time of year the weather turns colder and the added stress of preparing for the holidays wears down an already compromised immune system and more people get sick?
Personally, I believe this is the reason so many people get sick in the winter months.
This is the time of year we are urged by TV commercials, medical personnel, doctors and pharmacies to get a flu shot.
Are flu shots a good idea?
Some say yes. While others emphatically say "No!"
You may have a strong opinion on this topic. Or, you may not think too much about it. For those of you with inquiring minds who want to know the truth of the efficacy of flu vaccines see the facts listed at the end of this article.
Here is some good news!
You DO NOT have to get sick!
When you choose to fortify your immune system with some added health elements during this germ-laden stress-filled time of year - it is possible to successfully navigate the holidays without getting sick.
DAILY STRENGTH FOR THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
1) Eat plenty of fresh organic fruits and vegetables
2) Take the following daily:
- 1,000 milligrams Vitamin C; Ascorbic Acid powder
- 325 – 400 mg Magnesium Citrate; Calm is a good brand
- Take a High Quality Probiotic / Prebiotic* (see below)
Daily smoothies are a great way to get your daily dose of vitamins and minerals.
Tasty Option: We add the above list of ingredients to our favorite fruit smoothie recipe:
Mike & Michele's Live-Loving Fruit Smoothie
Of course you can swallow these vitamins separately – but if you hate swallowing vitamins – like I do – adding them to a tasty smoothie helps me take them daily.
* TAKE A HIGH QUALITY Probiotic / Prebiotic Supplement:
Pay for quality. Your health depends on it. When choosing a probiotic look for at least 40 billion CFU’s (colony forming units) and these three things:
1. It lists its Sub-strains 2. It contains prebiotics 3. It does NOT require refrigeration
Three top tested Probiotic & Prebiotic Formulas:
1) Complete Probiotics Platinum by: 1MD's https://1md.org/product/probiotics
2) PRO-45 by: Live Well Nutrition – Available on Amazon
3) Critical Care 50 Billion by: Renew Life – Available on Amazon
TWO “EMERGENCY” OPTIONS FOR FIRST SIGNS OF COLD OR FLU:
You can choose to take either one of these two emergency options at the first sign of cold or flu symptoms. Or even both of them!
ADDED BONUS – it is perfectly safe to utilize both of these options at the same time. You will not hurt yourself; in fact, you are DOUBLING DOWN on ridding yourself of germs and fortifying your immune system. The truth is – the 100% Natural Option is quite unpleasant – but it works! It’s up to you.
100% NATURAL OPTION #1
Immunity Health Dink Shot
1/2 cup fresh filtered water
2 cloves minced garlic
2 teaspoons fresh minced ginger
Juice 1 lemon
1 Tablespoon organic apple cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1-2 teaspoons raw organic honey
Directions
1. Mince garlic cloves - for best results use a designated garlic mincer; or fine meshed grater
2. Grate fresh ginger; removing fibrous strands
3. Separate into two servings.
Down the shot & have an additional tall glass of water to drink right after taking this IMMUNITY SHOT.
You can double or triple this recipe and keep refrigerated for convenience.
Immunity Shots can be utilized 2 - 3 times daily until all symptoms go away.
TIP: Grating Fresh Ginger
It will take 2 - 3 inches of fresh pealed ginger to equal two teaspoons. A little extra garlic & ginger in the recipe is fine.
To best utilize fresh ginger:
Use a fine mesh grater and grate ginger - removing fibers & scraping grated pulp from the inside of the grater.
INCREASED SUPPLEMENTATION OPTION #2
- 2,000 Vitamin C; taken throughout the day i.e. 1,000 am, 1,000 pm
- Zinc lozenges; or Zinc
- Colloidal silver; take according to package directions (look for Nano particles, much more effective and high PPM, like 20 or 30)
- Goldenseal; alcohol-free & organic if possible, according to package directions
- Oregano oil; package directions; it’s hot so take it with food
- Beta Glucan Immune Response; available online or local health food stores
- Kyolic Garlic (aged, organic)
After all symptoms of impending cold or flu are gone – go back to 1,000 Vitamin C daily and discontinue the other supplements, but keep on hand for the duration of the season.
Now For Some SERIOUS Flu Shot Efficacy Information
The following is an excerpt from an informative article from Mike Adams - The Health Ranger at NATURAL NEWS:
“Flu Season” is a term coined by the pharmaceutical industry in order to foster the idea that every year – during Fall & Winter – everyone needs to line up for a flu shot.
Flu shot’s consist of a concoction of chemicals that force your immune system into an acute response that theoretically protects you from catching this year’s flu strain.
Do they work?
No.
No tests or trials are performed on the concoction of chemicals used.
In fact, the drug insert for FLUVAVAL Influenza Virus Vaccine (pictured below) states there have been no controlled trials adequately demonstrating a decrease in influenza disease after vaccination with FLULAVAL.
Flu vaccines consist of known poisons and carcinogens. Here is the list of harmful ingredients in FLUVAVAL:
"Thimerosal, a mercury derivative, is added as a preservative. Each ... dose contains 50 mcg thimerosal. Each dose may also contain residual amounts of ovalbumin, formaldehyde, and sodium deoxycholate from the manufacturing process."
Toxic side effects include facial paralysis and more
If you keep reading the FLULAVAL vaccine insert, you'll eventually get to a section called "Postmarketing Experience."
This subhead means here are all the side effects reported by actual users after being vaccinated. In other words, these are the results of turning the human population into vaccine guinea pigs.
A FEW SIDE AFFECTS LISTED:
Here are just a few side effects listed for this flu vaccine:
• Eye pain and chest pain
• Arthritis
• Dizziness, tremors and losing consciousness (syncope)
• Convulsions and seizures
• Gullain-Barre Syndrome
• Cranial nerve paralysis or limb paralysis
• Swelling of the brain
• Partial facial paralysis
Here's a more complete list of some of the adverse effects typically listed on flu shot vaccine insert sheets:
Blood and Lymphatic System Disorders: Lymphadenopathy.
Eye Disorders: Eye pain, photophobia.
Gastrointestinal Disorders: Dysphagia.
General Disorders and Administration Site Conditions: Chest pain, injection site inflammation, asthenia, injection site rash, abnormal gait, injection site bruising, injection site sterile abscess.
Immune System Disorders: Allergic reactions including anaphylaxis, angioedema.
Infections and Infestations: Rhinitis, laryngitis, cellulitis.
Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Disorders: Muscle weakness, arthritis.
