Preparing For This Year's Flu

The yearly hype about the flu shot has begun, so it's time to consider your response. First and foremost -- assume that you won't get sick! In fact, I hesitated to use the above title and corresponding image for this article because it may just serve to prime your belief that you'll get the flu. All the hype about the flu each year serves as a "no-cebo" that has the opposite effect of a "pla-cebo" -- that is, it instills a belief in you -- and thus your body -- to become susceptible to the flu.

Here is one thing you can do in response to any no-cebo. Say the words: I am an infinite being and I am not subject to that. This does not apply to me. I hereby cancel and refuse it.

Next, know that taking a flu shot is marginally helpful (already, reports are stating that it will prove to be only 20% effective this year) and potentially harmful. Be aware that almost all flu shots (and definitely those you get at a place like a pharmacy or grocery store where they vaccinate lots of people) include a dose of mercury and/or aluminum in them. Some health writers believe that the flu shots given regularly to the elderly (despite the fact that they have been shown to be less effective for infants and the elderly) are contributing to the increase in Alzheimer's disease.

On an immunological level, a flu shot merely primes your immune system to focus itself on a particular flu antigen or antigens. If you become susceptible to a different flu, you will get no protection and will likely become even sicker than you normally would, because your general immune response has been weakened by this erroneous focus. Indeed, getting a flu shot every year perpetuates and deepens this general immunological weakening.

So what to do?

First, be as healthy as you can be so that you are not susceptible to disease. Eat well, get rest, exercise, get sun, drink water, and perhaps add in a few supplements like Vitamins C and D3. Get a "homeopathic checkup" with your practitioner and take a suitable constitutional remedy if necessary.

Next, build up your knowledge and remedy kit to be prepared, just in case. I have written before about common flu remedies. Some practitioners also advise taking the remedy Influenzinum preemptively, made from the year's flu shot. Personally, I have never done this. Another useful remedy to have on hand is Oscillococcinum, which studies have shown to be effective at nipping a flu in the bud if it is taken at the first sign of symptoms. This remedy is made from duck liver, and ducks are known vectors for the transmission of the flu.

Finally, it pays to be aware of the developing genus epidemicus for the year -- that is, the set of particular symptom pictures emerging and the corresponding remedies that are proving effective. One homeopath who performs this service admirably is Paul Herscu ND. You can keep tabs on his thinking for this year's flu at his website. For this year, so far, he is suggesting keeping in mind Nux Vomica (a very common flu remedy and one that has benefited me personally many times in acutes) and Phosphoric Acid, especially in cases of extreme fatigue (a less commonly-used alternative to the standard flu remedy associated with deep fatigue, Gelsemium). For young children, he is finding that their chronic remedy is most helpful, as well as Chamomilla for fussiness and clinginess.

Bottom line: prepare yourself with flu remedies and knowledge, engage in healthful practices, and assume that you won't get the flu!

Another Excerpt from Dr. Richard Moskowitz's New Book on Vaccination

Boston homeopath and family medicine doctor, Richard Moskowitz, MD, has always been an important writer in the area of health, homeopathy, and vaccination. His new book, Vaccines: A Reappraisal is now available on Amazon. Happily, in advance of the book release, he shared a series of book excerpts with the homeopathic community. I asked and was granted his permission to share them with you too. Enjoy!

More From Chapter 11: The MMR Vaccine

"The MMR broke new ground in targeting three normal diseases of childhood that most children eventually came down with and almost all recovered from. It remains a bone of contention between the 'vaccine establishment' who promote it aggressively, on the one side, and the uncounted tens of thousands of parents, at the very least, who are convinced that it killed or damaged their children, on the other.

That it causes autism and other forms of brain and neurological impairment in very large numbers of susceptible children has already been proven beyond a reasonable doubt, and recently verified by a senior CDC scientist, who remorsefully confessed to his role in the government's cover-up of its own in-house data to that effect for at least 15 years.

Nor is autism by any means the whole story of the harm that it has done, which includes Guillain-Barré syndrome, acute disseminated encephalo-myelitis, encephalopathy, epilepsy, inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes, arthritis, bleeding disorders, a considerable spectrum of other autoimmune diseases, and death.

But perhaps its most important and commonly overlooked complication is what it fails to provide, namely, the enormous health benefit of coming down with and recovering from the natural diseases, measles, mumps, and rubella, which not only primes the immune system to perform its crucial role of repelling other infections, but also protects the organism from a variety of chronic diseases later in life. In the developed world at least, centuries of adaptation had fashioned relationships with these viruses that were as close to ideal as can be imagined.

In short, the only possible reason for mandating the vaccine was to showcase the effectiveness of the vaccination concept, by reducing the ubiquitous footprint of the disease; this it has most certainly done, and in spectacular fashion. But at what cost? In exchange for a counterfeit immunity that was never more than partial, temporary, and incomplete, we have brought about an unhealthy reprogramming of the immune systems of all children, favoring chronic, autoimmune responses at the expense of the acute, vigorous responses they were designed for, and thereby rendering our descendants a lot sicker than they would have been if we had simply left well enough alone."
