A Perplexing Journey

I blog about; life with my loving husband, & our cats Siggy, and Maddie. Stuff in the news, my crafts, memes, photo posts & various other things that catch my fancy. I really like working at home, my husband appreciates my roll as housewife, and I find it my most rewarding job yet. We still hope to have children, though we still don't have any yet.

Vaccinations, swine flu, and building immunity.

On Facebook I just joined a group called "I will NOT take Vaccines for "Swine Flu"!!"

The reason is simple, many of us are already immune or working on immunity. This summer so many people have been sick. Think about it, does it make sense then to get an injection for something your body is already conquering?

I have not had a flu shot since 1995. Yes I get sick, but I did back when I'd get the shots too. I'd get sick from them even, so I stopped getting them in high school.

From what I have been hearing about swine flu it spreads fast, with how many of us have been sick this summer I'm sure a good chunk of us already have our bodies working on building immunity. Every flu season I tend to be one of the first to get sick, before a vaccine is available, & while multiple strains go around each year, I often wonder if what someone is injected with isn't something they've already dealt with & built their immunity for by the bug running it's course; an injection then is pointless & only runs the risk of harming ones body because of the other things found in an immunization injection.

Dealing with rheumatoid arthritis I have to keep myself healthy as much as possible. But I've found I fair better by eating right and taking my vitamins than by flu vaccines. The following video helps support this idea.

I stopped getting flu vaccines as well; sometimes they get it right and sometimes they don't, so why? I do practice good healthful eating, meditation, and exercise--the best immune boosters around.
Enjoying your site. Thanks for following me!
