in all fairness I need to say a friend of mine brought up the following concerning information about the flu shot that I have never seen in any of the documents I have read. I think it is so important that we research ALL the facts and I thought I would add his information now -

"The best protection from infectious diseases (and the flu) is a robust immune system and healthy daily habits - NOT the flu shot.In fact, if you have taken the flu shot more than 8 times in the last 10 years you have an 80% chance of getting Alzheimers. Now THERE'S an encouraging fact!That said, get the facts about the flu shot. Although it's becoming increasingly difficult to separate facts from the hype created by the media and the government, the facts are out there.There are potential dangers to the flu vaccine. Two years ago I had a reation to the flu shot that made my head spin for 6 weeks - literally. I experienced Benign Positional Vertigo within 24 hours of the shot and I couldn't get out of bed.I would encourage you to do some research and consider visiting a Naturopathic Doctor. There are alternatives for staying healthy and you should look into them. "

So be very thorough in your research because I had NO IDEA. Not like any of you would have run out and got a flu shot just because I said to or anything lol. Just be informed!

Yes Beth, one of the BEST ways to stay healthy is to WASH YOUR HANDS, OFTEN. I have a friend who is an ER nurse and she doesn't get the flu shot. She washes her hands often, doesn't "touch" alot of things like handrails on stairs, door handles (she'll use her body to push), when she comes home from work her nursing uniform comes off (including her shoes) Before she goes into the house. She has a spare "clean" pair of shoes in her trunk. She does this to prevent her family from picking up hospital germs. Another biggy is to keep your hands away from your face. Try it, it's amazing how often we touch our face!
