Each year we all hear reminders to 'get your flu shot' from primary care physicians, in the media, and even from family members and friends who have only the best of intentions. The problem is that not many people know what is actually in that vaccine or flu shot they've been taught or trained to recommend.
Chet Day, of Health and Beyond, suggests, "Have your doctor read you the insert that comes with the vaccine. [Every vaccine comes with an insert listing all of its ingredients.] Then, have them explain why it makes sense to inject toxic chemicals into the human body and how such substances can aid the immune system. Chances are they will fall back on questionable statistical and demographic explanations that the medical establishment has used for decades to justify immunization. So, try to engage your doctor in a non-confrontational discussion because this is an opportunity for them to begin to give some serious thought to what they are injecting into the bodies of patients day after day... Many traditional doctors who haven't studied diet and lifestyle aren't going to change unless we help to educate them to what drugs and vaccines may really be doing to people long-term."
The following is a list of some ingredients used in common vaccines, which can easily be found on the CDC (Center for Disease Control) website. As you read, ask yourself 'Would I knowingly put ANY of these into my body?'
