I know of at least one medical doctor who advises his patients to only
take a flu shot
if they are at risk because of severe respiratory problems. That doctor
had a serum reaction to a flu vaccination nine years ago and was
surprised to learn what all is in the flu shot. He learned that a
person is exposed to more virus in one flu shot than the average person
is exposed to in a lifetime!!! Plus, these encapsulated viruses are
never eradicated from your body. They go into hibernation which in my
opinion over time makes them perfect candidates for mutation and
autioimmune problems such as TM.
Of course we already know that other viruses can be and are the
culprits, i.e.,
Hepatitus B, Herpes, etc. The question
remains as to whether the occurance rate is now higher or awareness is
more keen.
The doctor above thinks the incidence rate is on the rise! We TMer's
may be the tip of the iceberg. I certainly hope not!!!
To answer your question simply, yes I believe we have a responsibility
to tell those who are interested but we don't have to become evangelists
until more is known.
I, for one, am telling everyone who will listen not to take a chance on
a flu shot!!
I would rather have the worse bout of flu in history for a week or so,
than have to deal with this TM for Lord knows how long!!!!!
