Are Vaccinations Advisable?

Meghan:

I have come to be very cynical about any commercially produced vaccination against viral infections. The main reasons are:

  1. I have never seen any credible scientific studies on people that vaccinations are of benefit, and I don’t think any exist;
  2. It is counter-intuitive that an antibody to a killed viral fragment will have an immune benefit for another distantly related viral strain; and
  3. I distrust anything that has been granted a monopoly to make money for one company and the Federal Government by agencies who are paid by the profits from vaccine sales. This complex relationship used to be called “a pig in a poke.”

I have never seen clear benefits from the flu vaccination, only dangerously worse cases of the very flu that is trying to be avoided.

In short, I wouldn’t subject anyone I cared for to a vaccination campaign, but there are many ways to build a stronger immune system, and I would help them do that.

Good luck,
Dr. Thomas Lee

Hello,

I have a three-year-old daughter. She has yet to receive the Hepatitis B vaccine series. She will be attending a preschool program in the fall and I was told that I need to have the vaccine before then — in addition to the flu vaccine (which recently became a requirement).

Do you feel it is safe to get the vaccine now that she is older? I am still concerned.

Also, what do you feel about the flu shot?

Thank you in advance for your advice,
Meghan

Travelers Advice

Dear DG:

The NaturoDoc Store is a source for things that would be protective before, during, and after exposure to the Swine Flu if we can get them to the person soon enough. Use the Search button to view these products:

Do NOT take any vaccination. Dr. Lee’s reasons for this opinion are available in a separate posting.

If face masks and gloves are offered on flights, definitely use them. Do practice frequent hand-washings and keep hands out of your mouth.

Above all, don’t panic. With proper nutritional support and the use of good immune boosters such as we’ve mentioned, a healthy immune system can respond to this challenge if you are exposed. If you’re caught traveling right now, maintain a positive mental outlook and surround yourself with protection for your health. When you get home, stay home for a day or two and make sure you’re not going to be a conduit of this bug to others.

We wish all travelers good health at this time.

Best wishes,
NaturoDoc

What is NaturoDoc going to recommend as protection against swine flu? Are you going to show something prominently on your website? I haven’t got any of my arsenal of supplements with me and I’m worried. Should we wear those face masks and latex gloves on our flight home? It’s pretty scary per the news. What are you thinking?
