When it comes to the flu, many people are in a difficult place. No one wants to get the flu, but many feel uncomfortable with flu shots. There is a long held belief that flu shots are the only way to beat the flu. Luckily, this is not the case.

Vaccines are extremely controversial, and for a good reason. Mike Adams of Natural News has recently compiled some information about flu vaccinations.

“Scrutinizing the existing studies that claim to support vaccines reveals that flu vaccines simply don’t work. And when vaccines aren’t available or the formulation is wrong, there’s no spike in death rates, indicating quite conclusively that these vaccines offer no reduction in mortality.”

Adams continued: “Flu vaccines only produce antibodies in people who don’t need vaccines. At the same time, they fail to produce antibodies in people who are most vulnerable to flu. Thus, vaccines only work in people who don’t need them.”

Mike Adams is not the only one that disapproves of H1N1 vaccinations. On Oct. 9, 2009 – Health freedom attorney Jim Turner filed a lawsuit in Washington D.C. in an urgent effort to halt the distribution of the swine flu vaccine in America. On behalf of plaintiffs Dr. Gary Null and other licensed health care workers of New York State, the lawsuit charged that the FDA violated the law in its hasty approval of four swine flu vaccines by failing to scientifically determine both the safety and efficacy of the vaccines.

News reports in Canada recently validated the concerns of many people. “Four Canadian studies involved about 2,000 people, health officials told CBC News. Researchers found people who had received the seasonal flu vaccine in the past were more likely to get sick with the H1N1 virus.”

The risks associated with vaccines can by avoided by utilizing the body’s natural methods for withstanding illnesses like the flu. Listed below are some of the seven most useful ways to ward off or defeat the flu.

Fitura Power-Immune: Made from 12 of the most powerful antiviral herbs known to man, This tincture is most effective when used as a form of prevention. By taking it regularly the body can steadily build its immune system, something that cannot be fully accomplished instantaneously.

Ultimate Defense: Rather than a group of dead isolates or synthetic chemicals, this is an herbal detoxification aid, in a live, enzyme-containing complex. The human immune system and its general health depends upon live nutrients for the healthy function of prevention and defense mechanisms.

Detoxifiber Fiber Blend: Ideally the recommended 25-30 grams of daily fiber would all come from our diets, but getting that last bit can be difficult, especially since many of us do not eat enough fiber rich foods. Wise use of this fiber blend will make up the difference between reality and the more ideal, health promoting amounts of fiber that humans need.

CaroC Whole Food Concentrate with Vitamin A and C Complexes: Vit A and C are essential to healing processes, such as cellular growth and repair mechanisms, skin support and function and the repair of smooth muscle tissues.

Portable Far Infrared Sauna: These saunas emit light waves which are part of the sun’s natural light spectrum called far infrared rays. By penetrating deeper into the body Far Infrared Rays are able to draw out toxins and boost the body’s immune system.

Ionic Detox Foot Bath: When water is ionized these ions are able to enter the body through the 4,000 large pores of the feet. Then the circulatory and lymphatic systems transport the ions throughout the body. These ions neutralize oppositely charged toxins in the cells that are normally slow to exit the body. In this way, all the body’s organs can become energized and stimulated to function optimally. The body then rids itself of these toxins through its normal processes of urination, defecation and sweating.

Being frustrated by the flu can be discouraging, but there is no need to worry. Using one or more of these natural methods to prevent or fight the flu virus will go a long way to optimize your immune system and keep you in good health.
