So many say no no no don’t get the shots but I really hate getting the flu I don’t when I get the shot......Flu can be horrible I rather be safe than sorry and I have had zero side effects from the shots Well, I got influenza and I hadn't had the flu shot -- this was about 15 years ago and I've never been so sick in my life, and I was absolutely flattened for about 2 weeks. NEVER AGAIN will I go without getting the flu shot!!

NEVER AGAIN will I go without getting the flu shot!! When my daughter was married she got the flu shot as her husband was so into pharma drugs and vaccines but since he's gone and she's on her own she does NOT get them, she's probably 95% holistic BUT she just got the flu a week or so ago and it got her down for about 2 days and she's back doing her life. A quick flu hit and it went pretty fast, she forgot to get on the Oscillo. Thinking back to her life and the flu shots, she would get the flu regardless when she was getting them. When I think of what's in those vaccines, I can't do that to my body.

To each their own I don’t trust homeopathic medicines just as you distrust traditional pharmacopeia...if it works for you fantastic!! I’ll stick with tried and true

Nope, I did not get my flu shot. Why? I take my chances. Just like those who do get theirs but some end up getting a strain of flu the vaccine does not protected against. I had the flu when I was about 7 or 8 years old. Was out of school for 2 weeks. Sick as a dog. No one else around me got the flu. I also had chickenpox,, I was 7 years old,,,,,, That was in the autumn, then about February,,, Yup I was 8 is when I caught the flu. From? Maybe the cows, or the pigs.. Perhaps the chickens.

Smitty45, I got the Asian flu when I was about 18 and that was over 60 yrs ago. All the years since then I've gotten mild flus but probably had some "shots" in between but probably not since I was in my 40's...
I don't want injected with mercury, aluminum, formaldahyde and whatever else goes in those "shots in the dark".
I do MUCH more than homeopathy but use it as an addition to what I do to keep out of the hands of pharma.

Influenza is a group of serious diseases which can kill. Influenza doesn't just get you down for a couple days. It's a very big deal.

At your age, if you come down with the flu, have you thought about who will be there for you, to nurse you back to health, cuz you'll be down for days, maybe weeks. Influenza not only weakens your immune system, influenza can easily turn flu into something much worse, pneumonia.

So true, Drifter! I got flu during the 1973 London Flu Epidemic which spread to North America. I ended up with pneumonia in both lungs, was flat on my back in bed for 3 weeks, lost 10 pounds, and is the only time in my life that I thought I might die. Just breathing was painful, and it took a second round of antibiotics to even begin to bring my high fever down. Even after recovery, it left me feeling weak for a long time. That scary event is why I have got my flu shots every year since!

I think many here don't think about the people who don't go for the vaccines do work on their immune systems..with their antioxidants: Vit C in higher dosing, grape seed extract, Vit E and other of the antioxidants that are pretty new in the last 20 some yrs...... there is an audience who don't "buy" the shots.... I had a terrible flu in 1956 or so.
How many here do the above?
Reminds me a bit about those who take diabetic drugs and then go on eating all the sugars and carbs they do....another topic but kinda along the lines.

Sounds like what my husband went through years ago. It wasn't fun seeing how badly he felt & how long it took to re-coop. Thank goodness he had some sick days & plenty of vacation saved up, which he had to use to stay home and recover. After that, he doesn't complain when I drag him into Rite-aid and get our vaccinations.
Those that think they will never get the flu, etc. are sure kidding themselves! Because of the anti-vaxxers is why childhood diseases are on the rise all over our country. I commend the children, when they turn 18 years old, that they go themselves to get vaccinated for everything, since their parents didn't believe in them!
And joymarty...if you would ever be hospitalized, you would be going through detox because no hospital will ever feed you all the supplements you ingest right now! Right now, in this thread, I only see an "audience" (whatever that means) of one, believing your anti-vaxxing message.

Drifter: I spent 4.5 months in hospital/rehabs back in 2016, staph infection in knee. Long ugly time in my life and docs were negligent in "finding" the infection. I had many of my supplements with ME and had friends bring me my magnesium supplies so I could sleep and protected them from the staff. Convinced the attending doc to make sure I got their Vit D, some potassium when I requested it and some others from the rehab pharmacies.
In my life If There is a Will, There is A Way. I have the Will.
So many around me were so sick and all the coughing, good grief, but not me. And I had a fear of getting sick in that environment but I did not. Took my Grape Seed Extract every day.
Docs finally found infection after 2.5 months of NOT being able to stand on my leg, and forget walking. I lived very healthy thru all that but for the infection in knee. I thought I'd lose my mind thru it all but I managed to keep it. A true nightmare and HOPE to never see another situation like these.
I truly believe the staph infection came from injections I was getting for my OA knee, had 4 good injections and the 5th one really hurt and I believe that's when it happened as I can and have gone thru the whole journey of this saga.

I take some supplements and also a flu vaccine. Thank goodness your drs found the source of the infection JM because your supplements were not going to cure it.
