have you got your flu shot yet?

If you have the reasons are pretty obvious. If you haven't, why haven't you?

Just curious

The jury is still out on the flu shot Amber. Many specialists will tell you that when they make a decision of what flu to combat, they really have no idea of the strains that will be affecting North America....And it hasn't got any resistance to any mutated Avian Flu.

Many of the mass flu vaccinations still contain Mercury.....so beware, in certain cases, the shot has been known to kill or cripple!!

The best advice is to:

• Eat properly (chicken soup and broccoli) lots of fruit & veggies
• Get plenty of rest, especially when you are tired
• Exercise at least 3-4 times a week for at least 20 minutes each time
• Don't catch a chill, it can make you 4 to 5 times as prone to get a cold.
• Wash your hands with warm, soapy water on a regular basis, especially before eating

'Tis true. The shots only target 3-4 different types of Flu. It's not penicillin after all. No silver bullet. There are also side-effects to worry about, like blindness. Only those who are susceptible to the flu should have it IMHO. Talk to your doctor BEOFRE asking for any treatment advertised.
