(13,141 posts)and believe that the human immune system is terribly
weakened in our times, from too much pharmaceutical
intervention, + poor nutrition, unhealthy lifestyle,
general ignorance.
I have never had a flu shot, never thought I needed one
as I'd never been sick with more than a mild case.
Didn't even understand why people got the vaccination,
to be honest.
Till last winter. I was working in a classroom; there
was a visiting grandmother. She sat across the table
from me, didn't appear sick, but coughed a few times.
I became so sick I wanted to die. Flu --> pneumonia,
incapacitated and weak for weeks.
So keep up the excellent attitude, and good healthy
habits -- and welcome to DU. Be forewarned that on DU
if you say much about alternative medicine or against
vaccinations you will be assaulted, insulted, ridiculed,
stalked and vilified, all in the name of science.
(LOL... that's an exaggeration, but not much.) If and
when this happens, remember it is a very small number
of vocal people, not representing the entire forum.
