[Joan Pandas Mom]

Are or have any parents gotten Flu shots? I'm trying to decide if I should get one.

We have never gotten flu shots and do not plan to. They are full of toxins and apparently they don't really work in preventing the flu. My doctor says tens years of flu shots will triple your chances of getting alzheimers due to the mercury in the shot. We had great success using holistic methods to fight the flu last year and my kids had H1N1 and it lasted a day or two. We used chinese herbs and tea, extra vitamin d when they were feeling sick, probiotics and vitamin c. I know this is controversial but this is what we are doing and I have a lot of confidence in my MD who advises against the shots.

No one in my family, including me nor my husband, are getting a flu shot.

Not for us...ever again!

[Johnsmom]

Nope not us either!

Our family will not be getting flu shots or mist. Our daughter had a mild exacerbation last year after receiving flu mist.

Everyone in our family will be getting the flu shot.

I've never even thought about the flu shots for myself and my husband. My one son has had his last week at a well visit, and my other 3 are getting theirs next week.

 

I guess this is something I should discuss with my husband. He got the flu pretty bad last Oct, and a couple of weeks later was dealing with panic attacks for several weeks. So, I'm guessing that the flu shot would be good for him too.

Please be careful. So many of the flu shots still contain mercury.

Our pediatrician recommended AGAINST the flu shot for everyone in our family, given the PANDAS. She mentioned there are a few non-PANDAS kids in her practice that are having "complications" from the shot.

All adults in our household will be getting the flu shot.

Mercury can cause or aggrivate autoimmune disorders, so most for most families here, mercury would be the last thing on earth they would want. Over 80% of all flu shots have the full amount of thimerosal (mercury based preservative)in them.

 

My kids are already vaccine injured, we have given enough to the herd, no more shots for us either! That's all we need is for me to go down with a vaccine induced neurological injury! OYE!

Never again. The FluMist in Oct last yr set off PANDAS in my DS6. Dr T said no more vaccinations ever for DS, except in extreme circumstances.

Here is one of the studies I remember that links mercury to autoimmune disease:

But mercury is so toxic that it can damage in so many ways. It has no business in medical products.
