She can't think that there would have been no repurcussions from the shot. I know when my cousin's son had his, a few years ago, my gramma who was recovering from a heartattack wasn't allowed to be around him for 6 weeks! So, if they're telling people with weakened immune syst. to stay away from people who have had it, what does it do to those they give it to who have weakened immune systems?

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2000 Report Share Posted August 18, 2000 i am sorry to hear about your grandpa's passing. may he rest in peace. see, to me this is a great example - they'll say, oh he died of the flu. they do not take into account (or state it) everything else that contributed to what made it such a bad case of the flu for him, and why it progressed into viral pneumonia. i was reading a story on an immunization board from a lady who lost her 10 year old to chicken pox and now she is a crusader for the shot. well, in the story they mention how he had this that and the other health problem and he was on medication already for these problems and had a very compromised immune system to begin with. was it these diseases that killed these people? yes! is everyone at the same risk of the diseases being so deadly in them - NO! are there way to prevent the disease becoming so deadly in most people - YES! and are shots the way to do that - NO! that is the deception. basically, not vaccinating is not going to protect you against any natural disease and vaccinating isn't going to either. making yourself infertile ground for disease to grow and thrive is the only way to keep the buggies away! *smile* chris > << oh wait the flu already is this major killer - i > forgot). >> > My hubby's 85 yr. old grandfather died from complications of the flu.

" I wonder if you would mind if I ask a few questions. Did you all eat the same thing/things (living under the same roof)? (I have heard than most " flu " cases are from bad food, ie., food poisoning) Has the family recently been under some kind of stress (or celebrating some good fortune)? How many of the people in your family were taking some medication (or supplements, vitamins, other treatments)? Did this flu bug afflict other people in the neighborhood (as in the familiar phrase, " the flu bug is going around " ). As you may have guessed from my questions, I don't buy the germ theory of disease, but I am always willing to " take another look " . db Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicodin only works for fever because ************************** youre right about the ER. i took garrett on friday night and it was packed with people with high fevers. everyone was holding a barf bucket and crying. it was like a scene from a bad movie. its bad this year. take care of yourselves. ive been taking tylenol and tylenol sinus- and dramamine for nausea. i didnt want to take anything stronger. im feeling alittle better but MAN!!!!!!!! this is the pits. i lost 6 pounds as of today- i'll put it back on but thats ok. the flu diet is not a popular one.
