It is what everyone is talking about. The Flu (don don don!) The conversations I have had with people the last few weeks has been really eye-opening. People are freaking out and scared to death of the flu. Of course, this has absolutely nothing to do with the media (note sarcasm!) I can’t tell you the number of people that have told me how fearful they are of getting the flu and asking if they should get the flu shot.

WARNING…

My stance on this topic may ruffle some feathers. My goal is not to get you to think the way I do, but just to get you to think.

People are making their decisions based on fear, not truth. In my opinion, that is the WORST place to make any decision from. In my research, The British Medical Journal has published articles that has proven the flu shot ineffective in preventing the flu, it’s funny how the media doesn’t mention those studies. The media is playing up the drama and feeding those with more fear.

Here are some common ingredients in the flu shot, this is listed on the CDC website.

“Formaldehyde is in the common flu shot. It’s a known carcinogen. Another ingredient in the flu shot is a mercury containing a compound called thimerosol, which impairs neurological and immune systems. There are also detergents, antibiotics, chemicals, and allergens…that cause infertility – including other ingredients that are unsafe for human consumption.”

Yet it is recommended that people get this shot every year? At what long-term expense to our health?

Back to my point, which is that fear is the worst place to make any decision from. How many decisions are you making from fear? Each year I choose to pass on the flu shot (my whole family passes), and do things that enhance and support my immune system. I eat well, get good sleep, workout, play, and nourish my mind/body/spirit.

I have been around plenty of people the last few weeks that were sick. If the germ theory is true, why didn’t I get sick? How can some people in the same family get sick and others don’t. Well, I will share what I have found to be true. It all has to do with the health of your immune system to naturally fight off illness. If you aren’t doing things to support it, it will not be working at 100%! That is the Key, to naturally boost your immune system, not inject it with harmful chemicals of which you don’t the long term effects.

Exercise
If you have been fearful of “catching” the flu, do some research. Get the facts. Weigh your options. What do you find to be true? Don’t just listen to others (including me) just because. Also ask yourself what other decision are you making from fear? What consequence does that have on your life? Choose a new place to make a decision from, like your truth.

Affirmation
I make all my decisions from my truth.
I choose to create my own path, the one that is right for me.

Make it an OUTSTANDING week! It’s your choice!
