Guest guest Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 Hi everyone...it's a personal decision whether to get the flu shot or not, but we decided not to as we have every other year and this link addresses the concerns that I have regarding flu shots. I haven't personally verified everything said in this article but it gives you a little something to start with if you want to use it as a starting point in looking for more info to base your decision on. Anyway, whether you decide to get it or not, I hope you all have a healthy and happy holiday http://www.mercola.com/2003/dec/13/flu_vaccine.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 this link addresses the concerns that I have regarding flu shots. I'm always a tad uneasy about a website where they are promoting their own agenda (i.e. books, products, etc) but of course the drug companies are promoting their flu vaccine too. I practice some complimentary medicine (I prefer that term to alternative medicine) but am very leery of a lot of it because in my findings it's based on a lot of hocus pocus and anecdotal evidence. Too often people touting herbals and other treatments prey on sick people like me who have tired of getting no relief from the traditional medical community. I'll get off my soapbox now. I've got to research this flu vaccine thing more thoroughly. <g> Marilyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 Marilyn, You're a woman after my own heart. Don't believe anything that you haven't verified at the source I agree about taking things with a grain of salt when somebody's trying to sell you something. Too bad I didn't have a better link handy. I too plan to do more research before I consider getting stuck. let me know if u find an especially good resource and I'll do the same if you want.
