Re: vaccine shot
The top 20 ways to boost your immunity to colds and flu without using a vaccine
1) Take a vitamin D supplement every day. Check our Vitamin D guide for details about choosing the proper dosage. 2) Get as much sunlight as you can for as late into the year as you can manage. Even getting sunlight on just your face helps produce more vitamin D in your body. 3) Drink immune-boost beverages like organic Cocoa Mojo, which contains a blend of 4 medicinal mushrooms. And it tastes like a delicious hot chocolate! 4) Use a high-quality air filter in your home to filter out bacteria and mold spores that may be circulating inside your home. 5) Get regular exercise to boost your circulation and immune strength. This exercise should be frequent and moderate. Do not over-stress yourself at the gym, or your immune system will be temporarily compromised. 6) Take supplements especially designed to protect your respiratory tract. These include Lomatium, Osha, Elderberry and more. You’ll find many of these in the herbal medicine cabinets offered at the NaturalNews Store. 7) Take measures to minimize your exposure to immune-damaging chemicals such as those you’ll find in laundry products, cosmetics, personal care products and fragrance products. The artificial fragrance chemicals found in most of these products are carcinogenic and cause liver damage. 8) Get off all medications that you can safely eliminate! Work with a naturopath to accomplish this, of course, as quitting medications cold turkey can also be dangerous. Most medications suppress your immune system, liver function, kidney function and even your reproductive function. 9) Eat more meals that are rich in pungent spices. Eat more curry, which is rich in turmeric. Eat more ginger. Eat more cilantro, rosemary, thyme and other rich spices. This includes cloves and nutmeg, two spices you’ll typically find in eggnog drinks. These spices boost immune function and taste great, too! 10) Clean up your diet. If you’re eating cheese and drinking processed milk, those substances are to be avoided during the winter influenza season, especially. In many people, cheese and dairy products tend to cause sinus stuffiness, which is really a lack of sinus circulation. This can make you more susceptible to physically catching and harboring a virus floating around. 11) Boost your trace minerals intake, especially zinc. Both zinc and selenium are hugely important for immune function. Zinc is especially well known for functioning as a shield support against many viral attacks. One of the best ways to boost your trace minerals intake is to switch to a natural sea salt or a high-mineral salt. We’ll be offering these salts by Thanksgiving, by the way. 12) Move your lymph! Rebounders (mini trampolines) are great for this purpose. Jumping rope also works, as does just hopping in place for a few minutes each day. You can also do arm rotations and other simple movements to keep your lymph circulating. Lymph movement is crucial for immunity. 13) Take immune-protective herbal tinctures such as goldenseal, garlic, echinacea, osha root and elderberry. All of these herbs are found in the Enerfood Herbal Medicine Cabinet – intermediate. We also have a “basic” and “advanced” kit available. 14) While you’re at it, wash your hands more frequently. Many of the infections we receive during the flu season come from us touching contaminated surfaces and then touching our eyes, nose or mouth. The simple act of washing your hands can dramatically cut down on viral infections. 15) At the same time, demand high levels of hygiene by those around you. Ask them to wash their hands, for example. Ask them to boost their immunity with herbs, nutrients and supplements that really work. In fact, when others fail to boost their immune systems, it’s actually highly irresponsible on their part. Merely relying on a vaccine is actually putting other people at risk, since vaccines don’t work 99 times out of 100. 16) Have an emergency supply of colloidal silver available. Not only do you want the liquid colloidal silver, you may also want to consider an inhalable form of silver 17) Get plenty of sleep. A lack of sleep compromises the immune system. 18) Reduce your levels of chronic stress, if possible. Stress also compromises your immune system, and it even “uses up” nutrients in your body, leaving you nutritionally depleted. 19) Drink more “live” vegetable juice. If that sounds too cold, make yourself some warm but raw vegetable soups. Search online for recipes. My favorites include a raw avocado soup recipe using red peppers, to which I add some Tobasco sauce. You make these soups in a blender like the Vita-Mix. 20) Laugh a little! Watch some comedy movies, or spend some fun time with family and friends. Laughter boosts immune function at many levels. It’s good for your body and your mental health. Find creative ways to expose yourself to comical situations and you’ll benefit as a result. :-) |

I have never had flu...lots of other viral illnesses, but not flu. I try my best to look after my health. I take vitamin D supplements. I wear gloves when I am out an likely to be touching hard surfaces which may harbour the virus...wash my hands often(no wonder they are like elephant leather). I stay very active.....it is not possible to do anything else with the tinlids and Ma to look after. I do not eat cheese or have much dairy in my diet....it creates phlegm(it might not do the same for you)....I have two fresh oranges most days during the winter. Over the years my chest has become something of a problem....maybe it is inherited, or maybe it is as a result of working in two dusty industries - the cotton mill and the Carborundum Co....my maternal grandmother had bronchitis most winters. When I am in for a bout of bronchitis I do not even get the symptoms of a head cold...no runny nose, a tickly throat maybe, but that is it. I may submit to having the vaccine when I feel 'elderly' at the moment I am just middle aged( or that is how I feel). I am not against others having the vaccination if that is what they wish(and they feel it is of benefit to them)...it is just not for me. |
Re: vaccine shot
OK Chris so you're good at cut and paste - but it would save me a lot of time if you could include links to your sources - but have managed to track them down anyway.
I don't disagree with a lot of the suggestions about how to boost your immune system - but I take them with a pinch of salt when they are listed on a site whose purpose is to sell the very supplements named in the list. Top 20 ways to boost your immunity to colds and flu without using vaccines As for the Cochrane collaboration study not only have I read the article that you cut and pasted which is available on several websites but I have also read the original Cochrane study and I will now cut and paste from that... The results of this review seem to discourage the utilisation of vaccination against influenza in healthy adults as a routine public health measure. As healthy adults have a low risk of complications due to respiratory disease, the use of the vaccine may be only advised as an individual protection measure against symptoms in specific cases. [The study only looked at results from healthy adults between 16 and 65. These are not the ones currently being offered the flu vaccine in the UK.] The content and results of previous versions of this review have been extensively misquoted especially in public policy documents. Two types of common misquotes are the generalisation of evidence from this review to all age and risk groups and the generalisation of estimates of effect to all outcomes (especially complications and deaths). The misquotes then assume that the performance of influenza vaccines is uniform across all age groups and from symptom prevention to all outcomes. Both generalisations are not supported by any evidence and seem to originate from the desire to use our review to support decisions already taken. The misquotes appear to be based on both the abstract and Plain language summary (which is what you would expect from a superficial reading of the review by people with a specific agenda). The universal immunisation of healthy adults should achieve a number of specific goals: reducing the spread of the disease, reducing the economic loss due to working days lost and reducing morbidity and hospitalization. None of the studies included in the review presented results evaluating the ability of this vaccination to interrupt the spread of the disease. Some studies presented data on reduction of working days lost and showed a very limited effect. Similarly a very limited effect was found on morbidity and no effect was found on hospitalization. Given the limited availability of resources for mass immunisation, the use of influenza vaccines should be primarily directed where there is clear evidence of benefit. [So it is currently offered only to the over-65s and others with various health problems.] We are not aware of other systematic reviews on this topic. [So more work needs to be done.] |

Re: vaccine shot

It is now known that industry funding of influenza vaccines studies determines publication in high prestige journals and higher citation rates than other types of funding. In addition industry funding is associated with optimistic conclusions, but the quality of the majority of influenza vaccines studies is low, irrespective of funding. A previously cited review showed a complex web of interrelationships between these variables http://www.bmj.com/content/338/bmj.b354, but how this impacts on policy making is unknown. |

Re: vaccine shot
Just been to docs for my annual ECG as most of you will know i have heart problems so i have a regular checkup once a year.
while i was there the nurse took blood checked urine and checked blood pressure Then she asked if i had had my flu injection i told her no and although the wife had received a letter asking her to go i had not got mine. she said you should have got it as they have all been sent out. so i got my flu injection as well she said if i caught flu on top of my heart condition the extra strain could be very bad including death (her words) anyway i mentioned this thread on accyweb and she said they want all people who have heart or breathing problems asthma etc to have the flu injection to help there immune system . But anyone that is healthy and has no health problems don't need the injection as they prefer them to build up an immunity naturally as for staff having the injection she said it was voluntary its there to stop them catching flu and passing it on to patients. |

This is the second time you have put up a video of some person of doubtful intelligence spouting the same views as you.
This is not the ideal way to convert people to your way of thinking. It is like asking people to believe that that some stranger who sat next to them on a bus has the solution to all world problems. I consider that you are misguided into thinking that you can 'convert' people by these methods, and really you should reconsider whether you are wasting your time trying. I realize that you have good intentions, but your methods are having the opposite effect to that which you intend. |

Re: vaccine shot
Just for a brief foray back to the topic, yep, I'm having my flu jab next week, courtesy of my employers who obviously feel that the outlay is worth it in terms of the manhours missed through illness. Incidentally there are over 400 staff at our place and only about 40 have requested the jab. Seems a bit daft not to when it's free and I get bad laryngitis in winter so it may keep that at bay!
On another note , all the bitchiness and nonsense on this thread have once again reminded me why I am no longer a frequent visitor to what used to be a really entertaing, fun website.Schoolyard name calling and dumbass conspiracy theories have ruined it.:( |
Re: vaccine shot
I had my 'flu jab today, the district nurse who comes to see my wife had arranged for both of us to have it at home. I wasn't bothered about having one but the nurse persuaded me to.
Since having my evening meal I have started having a bad headache and feeling drowsy. Maybe it is because of the jab, maybe not, but it's too late to worry now, it isn't the two pints I have just had because they don't normally affect me. |

Re: vaccine shot
Had a flu jab on Weds this week I'm sure it's the first jab of any kind I've ever had. I must admit I'm sceptical about it but with me having T2 Diabetes and related illnesses and my Wife expecting our first Baby (my 2nd) I thought I need to look after myself better in the future if I want to stay around.
My Mother refused me any jabs as an infant and at school because of the 3 in 1 jab you have as a baby giving my Sister brain damage (proved in court) and she had to spend the rest of her life devoted to raising her. Both died at an early age 20 and 40s and I have tried to resist any medication up to a couple of years ago. So as someone who has reasons not to take medicine/jabs etc I think it's really up to the individual to decide for themselves what is right for them some posts on here really don't help some vulnerable people who might get benefit from the jab but are now put off. I've had no reaction yet, my Wife had it last year and always gets colds etc but was fine last Winter so I thought go on then even though I had all sorts going on in my head. :eek: Anyway hopefully I'll still be here next year and I will post on this thread to say get in done :D |
Re: vaccine shot
Shurm you are right.......each one of us has to weigh up their own risks against any perceived advantages. We all have a responsibility to ourselves.
However, your comment on some of the posts being counter-productive...maybe scaring some people off the jab when they should have it, fails to recognise that without adequate information, or the ability to find information, an informed choice cannot be made. I hope the flu jab works for you, and that you continue to remain healthy. Just a small aside here....the flu jab that your wife had last year would not have prevented her getting the common cold.....it was just luck :) |

Re: vaccine shot
Today while visiting a elderly relative there was a knock on the door,i said i'd answer it and opened the door to find 2 NHS nurses, i assumed they was visiting to change my relatives bandages and let them in,turns out they were there for the flu jab :eek:
They started by asking if my relative had been suffering any flu symptoms to which the answer was "no" then they got out there 'box of poison' to which i said "you might as well put that away he's not having a flu jab" to which they both looked at me like they just found me drowning puppys in a lodge "why is he not having one" one of the nurses said "because i don't trust them and he's low-ish risk as he does'nt get out much" "we've had ours the other said" to which i just laughed and after them trying there best to convience my relative the jab was for him and my relative saying he's ok and didn't want it they packed up and went to leave,On the way out i asked "whats your personal view on vaccines" to which the senior nurse turned and said " if it wasn't good for us they wouldn't give it us would they" :eek::eek: Just hope my relative stays flu free this 'flu season' and i've not made a bad call(time will tell) :) |
Re: vaccine shot
I took Ma to the doctors today...she wasn't seeing the doctor, but the HCA, (to have her bloods done)......she got the flu jab at the same time. I don't want it, but would not influence ma in her decision to have it.
The HCA who did the bloods was sniffling and sneezing - obviously in the throes of a heavy cold........I hope neither of us get it from being cooped up in that little room with her. |
Re: vaccine shot
Just to update- we both had the jab late September. I have to say that within a few days we both started sniffling and blowing our noses. We still are. My wife says she won't have it next year, I can't decide. It may just be coincidence but I suppose if your body is going to develop antibodies there must be something to react to in the jab. A very mild case of flu?
Still, a bit of sniffing and blowing is better than getting the full flu |

The stuff about research is not new to me. I was at the Astra Zeneca company in Altrincham way back in the late 80's and was discussing drug research...one of the associates there told me tales which really worried me and made me question stuff that we, as medical professionals, had been taught. This man was so disillusioned with the research work (and the manipulation of results) that he left research and became a chiropodist...at much less money, but more peace of mind. |

Re: vaccine shot
It is important(in the sense of making sure something is safe) to have all the results of all the research... any missing research results mean that the whole of the study is flawed......and results skewed in favour of the company producing the drug/vaccine.
Drug companies frequently pull the plug on research that is uncomplimentary to the product(which means the profits will be dented) and fail to publish results which show the drug/vaccine in anything other than the best light...which in simple terms means - they LIE! |
