Flu shot
Please, please, please find all the information you can find before injecting this very toxic poison into your body. Below I have put a video of a young woman who's life has been permanently disabled by one shot.
Look back over your life and count how many times you've actually had the "flu". Personally, maybe, twice. Most people catch a rhinovirus which is responsible for the "common cold" NOT the flu.
Ways to prevent the common cold AND the flu:
1. Wash your hands
2. Take a good multivitamin
3. Get plenty of rest/sleep
4. Keep your spine clear of interference (there is a direct link between your nervous system and immune system)
5. Exercise
6. Stay away from eating sugar and processed foods.
Following some simple guidelines will help ensure you do not come down with an illness. If you do catch something follow the same advice as above. Drink plenty of fluids. Allow your body to run a higher temperature. Viruses live in a very narrow temperature range. The fluctuations in body temperature are what actually kills the virus. Fever reducers prolong the illness. Antibiotics DO NOT WORK against a virus!
For those who do catch the flu, it will not be fun. You'll miss work, school, parties, etc... But, your body is designed to fight it and develop resistance against that particular flu strain. Next week you'll be fine. Granted, some people are drastically affected by the actual flu virus, .01% of Americans. For those, I am sorry. But I feel the vaccine does much more damage on a much wider scale than the virus could affect.

Cervical Cancer Vaccine
British Schoolgirl Dies After Vaccination
AOL / Wire Services
(Sept. 28) - A 14-year-old British schoolgirl died Monday, shortly after receiving a cervical cancer vaccination. Local health authorities launched an "urgent" investigation but say a link between the death and the drug has not been established.
The teenager was administered Cervarix, a vaccine for the human papillomavirus (HPV), at her school in Conventry, England. She became sick soon after and was sent to a hospital where she died.
"No link can be made between the death and the vaccine until all the facts are known and a post-mortem takes place," said Dr Caron Grainger, the joint director of public health for NHS (National Health Service) Coventry. "We are conducting an urgent and full investigation into the events surrounding this tragedy."
At least three other girls at the school who received the shot also reported mild symptoms, such as dizziness and nausea, but were not hospitalized.
The batch of Cervarix vaccine used at the school has been quarantined.
Cervarix, manufactured by UK-headquartered GlaxoSmithKline, has been used for the past year in Britain's national immunization program. It is estimated that about a million girls have already safely received the vaccine. It defends against two HPV strains which cause about 70 percent of cervical cancer cases.
In the United States, a panel of vaccine experts at the FDA voted overwhelmingly earlier this month that Cervarix appears safe and effective for girls and women ages 10 to 25. If the FDA follows the group's advice, as it usually does, Glaxo would begin competing against Merck's Gardasil, which has controlled the U.S. market since 2006.
