All Flu shots have genetic material packaged in an envelope of proteins and fats, studded with antigens—that push the body’s immune system into action.
This is how it looks:
The Flu virus has the following:
FLU VIRUS PROTEIN
and
a) Traces of Egg Protein – used to grow the virus
b) Trace of Formaldehyde: makes the virus inert. Your shot has up to 100 (micro) mcg of formaldehyde, but your blood naturally contains 13,000 mcg.
c) Trace of Gelatin and
d) Trace of Thimerosal – used only in multi-vial. It keeps the flu shot free of bacteria and fungi. Our body breaks it down and eliminates within weeks.
By training, I am a American Board Certified Pediatrician. But in my younger years I grew up with natural alternatives. As a mom I have tried to incorporate both for my kids and it has worked wonders. And finally, as I am studying natural & alternative medicines, I realize the beauty and wisdom of living closer to earth. Hence in my practice I integrate both...for acute ailments I follow American Academy of Pediatrics recommendation but for simple and/or chronic conditions I prefer natural alternatives.
In western training we were raised to think that "health is the absence of symptoms and problems". But eastern sensibilities has educated me that "Health is state that allows one to use the full capabilities of their body, mind and intellect. Therefore, healthy living is a balanced state of well being: physically, mentally, socially and spiritually." This implies that healing is not a "one-pill-fits-all", but a personalized experience.
