Wow, the flu struck and knocked me flat for a week....slowly getting back to normal and trying to gain back the 10 pounds lost in the process.
While in the doc's office last week, he says, "People die from this flu" (uhh, well, thanks for letting me know that just now). He also told me to get a flu shot next year.....still not sure about that one....
So, anyone with strong opinions on the flu shot?
Only thing this year is hubby says they only put three strains in each shot and this year they missed the mark. He had the shot but still got a bad case of the flu.
ReplyDeleteWe get it every year and never get sick from it and have had no flu. Is it the injection or would we not get it anyway? We can't take a chance. Eat lot's of chocolate to gain some weight.
ReplyDeleteI believe that as long as you eat well, get lost of exercise and sleep, your body can recover quite efficiently from the flu. I also think that high doses of Vitamin D and Omega's can also help increase your immune system just as effectively as a flu shot, if not more effective, without the risks associated with the vaccine. Ever since our family started this regimen, we have not had the flu, and anything we have caught has been pretty mild. That's three years running. Not coincidence I think!
