I?m sorry to break the news to you. For some of us, getting a flu shot is never an issue; we have better ways to fight the flu. But for those of you who do choose to use this avenue, let me explain to you a little about how flu shots are designed.
Basically, every year, scientists try to figure out which strains of the flu virus are most likely to cause illness. They pick the top three, and combine them to make a flu vaccine. Yes, vaccine are by definition designed to give you the flu. The idea is that the body actually develops antibodies to fight off the minor attack. So in the future should the real thing attack, your body will be well defended.
Well, guess what? This year?s flu bug is not only particularly nasty, it also was not included in the flu shot. In other words, those who get the flu are little better off than those who didn?t. Maybe even worse off, because their bodies have to deal with the pathogens and viruses the flu shot puts into their system.
The three most effective protectors from the flu are eucalyptus oil, elderberry extract and Xlear nasal wash. For more info on these products, call me or do a search on Google. 503-774-5151
