To keep this simple. I will never get the flu shot. The most important reason is because I get adjusted. In 1975, Ronald Pero, Ph.D., chief of cancer prevention research at New York’s Preventive Medicine Institute showed that people receiving chiropractic adjustments immune systems were boosted as much as 200%. Another major reason is the fact that Vitamin D has been found to be just as effective in preventing influenza than the toxic flu shot, without the side effects. The top reasons are the ingredients which include most notably MERCURY (250 times the EPAs toxic recommendation) and:
- Formaldehyde — a known cancer-causing agent(used to embalm the deceased)
- Aluminum — a neurotoxin that has been linked to Alzheimer’s disease
- Triton X-100 — a detergent
- Phenol (carbolic acid)
- Ethylene glycol (antifreeze)
- Various antibiotics: neomycin, streptomycin, gentamicin – which can cause allergic reactions in some people
3 Key Reasons not to get the Flu Shot
1. The majority of flu shots contain 25 micrograms of mercury; an amount considered unsafe for anyone weighing less than 550 pounds! And which groups are most sensitive to the neurological damage that has been associated with mercury? Infants, children, and the elderly.
2. No studies have conclusively proven that flu shots prevent flu-related deaths among the elderly, yet this is one of the key groups to which they’re pushed.
3. If you get a flu shot, you can still get the flu (or flu-like symptoms). This is because it only protects against certain strains, and it’s anyone’s guess which flu viruses will be in your area.
Vitamin D Recommendation
| Age | Dosage |
| Below 5 | 35 units per pound per day |
| Age 5 – 10 | 2500 units |
| Adults | 5000 units |
| Pregnant Women | 5000 units |
| WARNING:There is no way to know if the above recommendations are correct. The ONLY way to know is to test your blood. You might need 4-5 times the amount recommended above. Ideally your blood level of 25 OH D should be 60ng/ml. | |

To prevent the flu, get adjusted and take vitamin D. Chiropractic corrects subluxations that result in interference of the nervous system by placing pressure on nerves. Since the nervous system controls all functions of the body -- including the immune system -- chiropractic care can have a positive effect on immune function.

I also refuse flu shots. I eat right, I exercise, and I get adjusted regularly. The key to avoiding the flu is to build a strong healthy body.
