Here are some flu vaccine facts that will help you make an informed decision about whether or not you should get one.
The CDC (Center for Disease Control) states that the best protection from flu is to either get a shot or get the nasal spray vaccine. However, there is some dispute on the actual benefit of the flu vaccine.
Most of the problems with vaccine are related to an ingredient called thermisol. All vaccine manufacturers commonly use this as a preservative for many vaccines.
Thermisol is based on mercury and that makes it toxic. Though the majority of the people have no complains it can cause long term damage and even instant allergic reactions in others.
Thermisol has been banned from use in many health care products but so far the authorities have done nothing to stop its use in vaccine preservation. Recent studies are showing clear evidence that thermisol is related to autism and Alzheimer's. Because of this some states have banned the use of such vaccines on pregnant women and children.
Thermisol is a neurotoxin. Which means that it causes damage to the nerve tissue. The human body can deal with mercury in small quantities but an accumulation over time can be very destructive as the body is not able to flush out the poison.
Though one shot per year does not contain enough thermisol for dangerous toxicity, some people do not have bodies that are good at taking out toxins and this can cause a "building up" of mercury in the system. A flu shot is not the only place where you get mercury. It can enter the body from several other sources as well and the flu shot may simply be contributing a small part.
If you do plan to get a flu shot then make sure that you get one that is free of preservatives and hence free of thermisol. These preservatives must be specially asked for.
A flu shot also contains dead influenza viruses. The FDA and WHO decide which strains of the virus should be cured for that year based on which antibodies mobilize in the body. There is no single flu shot that can protect you against all known strains of the flu virus.
The nasal spray form of the flu vaccine contains live but weakened influenza viruses and is only meant for people between the ages of 5 and 49 and who are in good health.
You should not take a flu shot or spray without consulting your doctor because it can often conflict with other medical conditions, medications, and trigger allergies.
