Hate To Say "We Told You So!" - But...
Flu Shots for Elderly May Not Save Lives
It seems that for all the fuss and bother about flu shots - with the shortages, long lines, dire predictions, black marketeering, people going to jail - really weren't worth all the trouble.
Now, with studies showing that these much ballyhoo'd inoculations are doing little or nothing for the initial target market - seniors - the powers-that-be are looking to shift their focus to the next "ripe" market: children.
Here's my prediction: look for dire warnings of doom 'n' gloom; "studies" showing that some minuscule number of children will die from the flu (unless they receive a flu shot, of course!), and that only by making sure that kids have these shots so they don't get the flu will we "save the lives of thousands / tens of thousands / millions of children."
Here's a more reasonable approach: Make sure that everyone - kids, adults, and seniors - are properly nourished with the full compliment of optimal dose daily vitamins, minerals, and trace minerals so that their immune systems can function effectively. Then, let's stop feeding our kids sugar! Numerous studies have shown that sugar intake significantly and predictably suppresses immune function for several hours - each and every time! That bowl of sugar-coated cereal and big, sweet glass of orange juice that little Johnny or little Suzy had for breakfast sent them off to school with a compromised immune system, just waiting to receive the next bug that comes along from one of their classmates.
Eat healthy, limit or eliminate sugar and refined grains (white trash foods), and ensure proper nutrition by taking optimal dose multiple vitamins - how easy does it get to ensure a healthy immune system and a flu-less flu season?
First, be sure to taka a "cover all your bases" multiple like Maxi Multi (most improtant), because a deficiency of even one vitamin, mineral or trace mineral (27+ are essential in human nutrition), can leave "chinks in the armor" of your immune system. Next, have Dr. Myatt's special trio of Immune Formulas on hand to use at the first sign of exposure.
Given the risks including lack of protection from viruses, "just say no" to the flu shot and protect yourself more completely by staying truly healthy. That's our recommendation and what we do for ourselves during flu season.
