Towards the end of summer, the big Pharmaceutical companies start their marketing push for the next flu season. Because, the flu shot is really just a way for those big companies to make some extra cash.

You can’t go anywhere without hearing about this supposed Holy Grail of medicine. Doctors tout it, friends and family tell you that you need to get it, and there are ads all over the place. But my opinion, among many more natural health practitioners including Dr. Mercola, probably the most recognized integrative doctor in the country, believe that it’s *toxic* and you should not put this stuff in your body!

Here are the FACTS that you need to know before you do get the flu shot:

FACT: 97% of all flu shots contain 25 micrograms of thimerosal, a form of ethyl mercury that is extremely toxic to humans.

FACT: Mercury is tied to Autism, Alzheimer’s and a number of other major diseases.

FACT: There are no safety studies before releasing the vaccine.

FACT: There is no proof that the flu vaccine will protect
you or give you immunity.

FACT: The flu shot does NOT prevent illness in most people, and can even do the opposite. It can weaken your immune system and make you more predisposed to illness.

Of course in the end this has to be a personal choice, but as with EVERYTHING you take, I suggest being a smart consumer and doing your research before you take ANYTHING!

In my opinion it would be more advantageous to keep you immune system strong so that you can avoid getting sick in the first place, instead of putting something toxic in your body… here I go using logic again!

In love and service,
