Forget the Flu Shot

Ah, yes. It’s the end of fall season again. That means windy weather and cozy sweaters. Unless you’re from Miami, like I am, in which case it means 98 degrees with 100% humidity and 80% chance of afternoon thunderstorms. Personally, I prefer the freezing rain and hailstorms.

Along with this beautiful change of season comes the overbearing flu shot propaganda. There’s no escaping it. Everywhere you turn, there are offers to get your free flu shot at your local Walgreen’s or Costco. Next thing you know, they’ll be offering free flu shots at the McDonald’s drive-thru window.

We even get the flu shot ads over here in Israel as well. I find it so frustrating. Once again, Big Pharma turns up the volume on the fear button, causing us to regard the flu as a death sentence. For most of us, the flu is a mild to moderate virus that lasts for about a week. It’s certainly uncomfortable, but is it really worth jabbing yourself with all kinds of toxic heavy metals, detergents, formaldehyde, monkey kidney cells, and on and on?

Let’s use some common sense here: First, the CDC (Center for Disease Control) cannot predict which strain of flu will be most prevalent the following season. They manufacture their flu vaccines starting in January, so they can roll them out in September. Can anyone figure out how in the world they are able to predict which strains will prevail six to nine months in advance? Guess what: they can’t. With over 144 strains of influenza, I think it’s safe to say that betting on the flu strain in the coming year is almost as impossible as betting on the winning lotto numbers. Almost.

Second: injecting yourself with a toxic cocktail in the name of good health is nothing short of insanity. That’s like saying you’re going to smoke your way to healthy lungs. They’re both just impossible.

Third: if you want to avoid the flu, boost your immunity! Take vitamin D, vitamin C, elderberry, superfoods, eat right, and get enough sleep (yeah, right.)

This repeated flu hysteria is symptomatic of a much greater problem in western medicine: instead of treating the cause of the illness, they focus on fighting the illness itself. Why is this problematic?

It is completely illogical to attempt to rid the body of an illness without addressing the root of the problem. Most illnesses are symptoms of an imbalance in some organ or system in the body! They don’t usually appear out of thin air. Think about this – our bodies are fighting off germs and viruses all of the time, yet we’re usually not sick all of the time. When we get sick, it is because the foundation of our health has been compromised, whether in our general immune systems or in some organ of the body. Therefore, most illness are treatable and even curable! And I am certainly including cancer in that group.

The key to healing is in strengthening the body, not destroying it for the sake of getting rid of the disease. Take the typical example of fever. While it is certainly uncomfortable and even painful, a fever is the body’s way of burning up the pathogen that’s contaminating it. So by reducing the fever, we’re actually sabotaging the body’s efforts at healing itself. Now, I’m not saying that I don’t promote taking painkillers; I actually do. Even I don’t believe in suffering beyond what you can handle without going insane.

The entire approach is completely backwards.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: there are many times where modern medicine is lifesaving. We absolutely need to be grateful for the amazing treatments we can benefit from in an acute situation. But let’s understand that chronic, long-term situations are symptoms of an underlying issue.

With proper diet and exercise, you can reverse diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, lower cholesterol, lose weight, gain bone mass, and on and on. As I wrote in Doctors of Death and Take Back Your Health, it’s your responsibility to do your research, and don’t be afraid of going against your doctor’s recommendations. Even doctors aren’t right all of the time.

So here are the two main points of this article in my ongoing series against modern medicine. First: you can’t achieve true healing by destroying your body with toxic treatments. Second: true healing is not accomplished by fighting the illness itself. Bonus: the illness is a symptom of an underlying imbalance in the body.

Repeat these three points over and over again until you’re hypnotized and achieve a higher state of consciousness that I like to call, “CRITICAL THINKING.” Hashem gave us brains so that we can use them to the best of our ability. Let’s not let Him down.

To your health!
