The winter approaches and temperatures lowering, with coughs and colds becoming prevalent within the workplace, schools and on commuter trains! We know that, at this time of year, many people considered ‘more susceptible’ to the ‘flu virus, such as older people, or those with an underlying medical condition, may be contacted by their GP to have a ‘flu vaccination.
So, with this in mind, we’ve taken a look at the potential side-effects of the vaccination and how homeopathy can help fight ‘flu without the need to vaccinate, whilst building up the immune system to become more resilient for the future.
There has always been a strong case against the influenza vaccination, with new side-effects emerging each season. Indeed,. the evident dangers of the ‘flu vaccination led Australia and Finland into banning the immunization of children. There was, according to reports in Australia, an alarming increase in vomiting, fevers and seizures, caused by the vaccines, which led to the decision.
Finland is now expressing concern that narcolepsy, (a nervous system disorder characterised by extreme fatigue and daytime sleepiness), is appearing in children immediately following the vaccination. The Finland National Institute for Health (THL) has, consequently, taken the step of suspending the inoculation whilst they investigate further.
In neighboring Sweden, similar investigations are taking place.
The potential adverse reactions for adults are no less severe. If, according to studies undertaken, an individual has five ‘flu shots, during a ten year span, their chances of getting Alzheimers disease would be ten times higher than if they had one, two or none. This is due to the mercury and aluminium content in every ‘flu shot, and most childhood shots. The gradual accumulation of these two elements, within the brain, causes cognitive dysfunction which can result in Alzheimers Disease.
Statistically you are more likely to avoid ‘flu if you took nothing at all! Reports suggest the ‘flu vaccination has a 93.75% failure rate!
So is it any wonder that, with all this negativity, people look for alternative ways to combat the inevitable annual onslaught of ‘flu.
You will see below some common homeopathic remedies which have been found to successfully and safely treated colds, coughs and 'flu, without side-effects.
Aconite 30 C – use at beginning of illness, often when the exposure to cold winds have resulted in a chill. Appropriate if you have a fever and are sweaty and thirsty
