Useless flu vaccine program

[Guest guest]

Flu vaccinations can do more harm than good, in my opinion, if they contain

the preservative thimerasol, (a mercury compound). For those of us with

compromised immune systems, I say, forget the vaccine.

Yes, it's not the healthy way at all to rid the flu !

But then we are aware that's it's all about cash flow to keep the wheels

of so called progress up and running.

Blind and dangerous is what they are.

Dear group,

In homeopathy there is a remedy called Influenzinum which you can get as a

prophylactic. (Of course there is the old Occilicoccinum most health food

stores sell too) Influenzinum 30c taken once a week as a a flu is rolling

around often helps prevent getting the bug. http://www.helios.co.uk is a

great English homeopathic pharmacy that will ship to most points on the

globe. The selection, quality and price of the remedies are unbeatable. They

also have a remedy made from AIDS (an AIDS nosode)

Medical Journal Author Questions Benefits of Flu Vaccine

There is no proof that Ontario's $38-million universal flu vaccine program

has had

any impact in limiting the spread of the illness, a leading epidemiologist

says.

Dr. Vittorio Demicheli, head of the regional epidemiology unit in

Alessandria, Italy,

says that claims about the cost effectiveness of widespread vaccination are

dubious and the stated aim of the program, to ease pressure on emergency

rooms

during flu season, is illusory.

" There is absolutely no evidence that universal vaccination has ever

achieved such

a goal, " he writes in today's edition of the Canadian Medical Association

Journal.
