Guest guest Posted January 9, 2001 Report Share Posted January 9, 2001 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.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2001 Report Share Posted January 10, 2001 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. http://Community.webtv.net/Library-Info-/doc Believing Will Get You There... =+ http://community.webtv.net/MOLECULARROCK/NEWVOTINGSYSTEM http://community.webtv.net/Legal-Pages-/doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 10, 2001 Report Share Posted January 10, 2001 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) Mike In a message dated 01/09/2001 3:10:08 PM Eastern Standard Time, saul@... writes: << >From HealthMall today: ----------------------------------------- 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. >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
