The manufacturers of flu vaccines are quick to point out that their products are a key to making it through the winter without succumbing to the flue. There has been no serious flu epidemics for nearly 4 decades but the flu vaccines are administered to millions of people every year.
This brings up the question as to why healthy people willingly inject themselves against a harmless little virus that mutates every year and needs a new vaccine. The truth is that most of these people are just hoping that the vaccine shot will see them through the chilly days without having to lose up on work and spending several days in bed.
Influenza always begins in the Far East and then moves towards the West by early winter. It peaks out between February and March. There are three basic types of influence (named A, B, and C). The A type of the influenza virus has become the dominant among the three strains.
The reason you need a vaccine every year is that the virus mutates into a new strain making the previous vaccine useless. The protection of any vaccine lasts only for around 6 months. In effect, you are vaccinated against a new virus every year.
The real problem is that the manufacturers do not know what new form the virus will take every year. The vaccines are grown using live viruses in eggs. These injections can cause illness and injury in people who suffer from egg allergies. People with an immune system disorder or heart disease are at a much higher risk level. Taking a flu shot under these circumstances can be really harmful.
For a normal person in good health there is nothing to concerned about. Staying away from vaccines actually signals the immune system to work harder to keep the disease out whereas taking regular shots weakens the same immune system and increases risk of infection.
Having a strong immune system also means that you are protected against the yearly mutation of the virus. Immune suppression is another concern to be addressed when you are considering a flu vaccine shot.
People prone to infections typically have a large number of stones in the gallbladder or liver. Gallstones can easily cause immune suppression. Cleansing the bladder is a good idea. In fact, people who have gone through the process of detoxifying their liver and gall bladder have reported that they rarely ever catch cold or the flu.
