We’re in the midst of flu season. Every year, the centers for disease control (CDC) determines which strain of the flu they’ll recommend to the general public, with the support of major pharma with the infrastructure to develop and distribute the vaccine. While many vaccines have been shown to be useful like rubella, pertussus, etc., the influenza vaccine is rather hit or miss.

Swine Flu

Remember the swine flu amongst others, that was supposed to be an epidemic threatening the lives of millions? It went without a whimper. Epidemiologists assume the flu which has been current in Asia last year are the one we’ll find this year. Unfortunately, they often guess wrong and admit that, though they believe it’s worth having. The marketing of the influenza vaccine, from the regional drug store chain to your regional doctors office or hospital thus starts.

Are we treating a “what if” disorder and if so, when a genuine life threatening pandemic arises, will the people take it seriously after all the false alarms? Seniors are especially cautioned to take the vaccine as well since they’re thought to be more vulnerable. Is the annual Flu vaccine really good public policy or are there any other approaches to better build your immune system naturally? What’s not often talked about would be the side effects most frequently because of the often unpredictable way a person’s body will make an immunity to the thing that was injected inside of them.

Reactions

Sometimes, these reactions can be worse than the flu itself. Here are some other ways to receive your flu inoculation which are demonstrated to work.

  • Have children. Starting a household has a great side effect; an improved immune system. This works as your child who is exposed to other kids will bring home some horrible bugs that give you a child who’s sick. Those exact bugs once shared, assist you to develop improved immunity, while making you feel awful. The key point to notice here is the improved immunity which will make your body more able to remain fitter even when exposed to a lot of viruses.As a side note, many pediatricians are likely to have good immune systems (unless they have some issue preventing the immune system from functioning normally due to their constant exposure to your kids ).
  • Go on a crowded train or some other crowded area. Going on a train, plane or some other enclosed area will expose you to several viruses and bacteria. With every exposure, your body will build anti bodies to shield itself. A properly functioning immune system may react violently to specific viruses or bacteria leading to a chilly or short term illness. This is how you build immunity. If you would like to get inoculated against the latest problems affecting us today, this is much more efficient than have the flu inoculation, because you’re exposed to many more possible illnesses than the government agency sanctioned flu shot has the capability to stop, without the side effects of the flu shot.
  • Don’t be germ phobic. Many individuals are frightened of getting what others possess. They are constantly using hand sanitizers and steer clear of crowds. This is very likely to create your immune system weaker. Constantly being exposed to viruses and bacteria really helps our bodies immune systems in most situations, since hardly any plagues exist in our contemporary society. Unlike the recent film contagion, which reveals a deadly virus which has the capacity to wipe out humanity, few of the things we’re exposed to have that potential to do damage, and in the film, 3/4 of the individuals developed a natural immunity to the organism which emanated out of a kitchen in Asia.
