This time of year, we're encouraged by the CDC to get a flu shot. This year there is a surplus of the vaccine, so the campaign to get everyone vaccinated is bigger than ever.
But did you know that people don't usually die from the flu itself, but from pneumonia, and the flu vaccines don't protect you from pneumonia? And some evidence points to flu shots causing Alzheimer's and Autism because of the mercury and aluminum formaldehyde contained in them. Other adverse reactions to flu vaccines are joint inflammation, arthritis, anaphylactic shock, and Guillain-Barre'syndrome, a paralytic autoimmune disease.
The good news is that Vitamin D will protect you from the flu. Our bodies produce Vitamin D naturally from sun exposure, but in the Fall and Winter our bodies can become deficient in the vitamin so supplementation may be needed. Cod liver oil is an excellent source of the vitamin. Dr. Mercola has more information on the subject of flu shots and the use of Vitamin D.
