Reason's to Reconsider the Flu Vaccination especially for Children

For everyone who has children and are concerned about the Swine Flu this year, I have been reading so much about the negative aspects and unknown outcomes of receiving the Swine Flu vaccination and encourage you to do the same before deciding to allow your children to be vaccinated.  The flu is usually not deadly and only those with compromised immune systems or an underlying health issue such as asthma should be concerned for any complications if they become ill.  So many toxic substances are added to vaccines in general and the Swine Flu vaccine is no exception.

Please do your research before any vaccination!  Is every vaccine necessary (29 vaccinations before age 2)?  Could the vaccine do more harm than good (especially the Swine Flu vaccination).  Here is a link to one interesting article I read "Do NOT Let Your Child Get Flu Vaccine -- 9 Reasons Why". 

1. This flu is simply another flu. It is not unusually deadly.
   
2. This is the first time both season and pandemic flu vaccines will be administered. Both seasonal flu and
   swine flu vaccines will require two inoculations. This is because single inoculations have failed to produce sufficient antibodies. This is an admission that prior flu vaccines were virtually useless. Can you trust them this time?
   
3. Adjuvants are added to vaccines to boost production of antibodies but may trigger autoimmune
   reactions. Some adjuvants are mercury (thimerosal), aluminum and squalene. Why would you sign a consent form for your children to be injected with mercury, which is even more brain-toxic than lead?
   
4. This is the first year mock vaccines have been used to gain FDA approval. The vaccines that have been
   tested are not the same vaccines your children will be given.
   
5. Over-vaccination is a common practice now in America. American children are subjected to 29 vaccines by the age of two. Meanwhile, veterinarians have backed off of repeat vaccination in dogs because of observed side effects.
   
6. Modern medicine has no explanation for autism, despite its continued rise in prevalence. Yet autism is
   not reported among Amish children who go unvaccinated.
   
7. Researchers are warning that over-use of the flu vaccine and anti-flu drugs like Tamiflu and Relenza can
   apply genetic pressure on flu viruses and then they are more likely to mutate into a more deadly strain.
   
8. Most seasonal influenza A (H1N1) virus strains tested from the United States and other countries are now resistant to Tamiflu (oseltamivir). Tamiflu has become a nearly worthless drug against seasonal flu.
   
9. Public health officials are irresponsible in their omission of any ways to strengthen immunity against the
   flu. No options outside of problematic vaccines and anti-flu drugs are offered, despite the fact there is strong evidence that vitamins C and D activate the immune system and the trace mineral selenium prevents the worst form of the disease.
   

Following the article Dr. Mercola discusses ways you can protect yourself and children without vaccinations.  One of which includes vitamin D as I had referenced in a previous post.  He goes on to list the different aspects of living a healthy lifestyle that so many other doctors and health care workers keep preaching for avoiding everything from cancer to diabetes.  I will summarize Dr. Mercola's list below however, for more detailed information please read his article.

1. Avoid sugar and processed foods: Decreases immune system

2. Adequate rest: Helps immune system work properly

3. Stress Management:  Have an action plan to control your stress

4. Exercise: Boosts immune system

5. Omega-3 fats:

6. Wash hands regularly

7. Garlic

8. Avoid hospitals and vaccines
