Five Reason to Reconsider the Flu Shots For Your Child
 Here are five major reasons why this government push to vaccinate virtually all children with a yearly flu vaccine is so reprehensible:

  1. The majority of flu shots contain 25 micro-grams of Mercury, an amount considered unsafe for anyone weighing less than 550 pounds! And which groups are most sensitive to the neurological damage that has been associated with mercury? Infants, children and the elderly. 
  2. A study published in the issue of the Archives of Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine found that vaccinating young children against the flu appeared to have no impact on flu-related doctor visits or hospitalizations during two flu seasons. At first glance, the data did suggest that children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years derived some protection from the vaccine in these years. But after adjusting for potential relevant variables, the researchers concluded that "significant influenza vaccine effectiveness could not be demonstrated for any season, age or setting."
  3. The new policy ignores a large-scale systematic review of 52 studies, published in Cochrane Database of Systemic Reviews in 2006, that found no evidence the flu vaccine is any more effective for children than a placebo. The studies involved 260,000 children, age 6 to 23 months.
  4. If your child gets a flu shot, he can still get the flu (or flu-like symptoms). This is because it only protects against certain strains, and it's anyone's guess about which flu viruses will be in your area. 
  5. There are many studies supporting the hygiene hypothesis, which proposes that acquiring viral infections early in life is not a bad thing. It actually helps build your child's immune system, drastically reducing the risk for heart disease, allergies and asthma, as he/she grows older.

So why would you give your child a flu-shot--EVERY YEAR-- that has NEVER been proven effective, that can give him/her the very illness you're trying to prevent, and has potential long-term side effects that are far worse than the flu itself?

Instead, keep your child healthy with regular Chiropractic adjustments, get nutrition and a healthy lifestyle!
