&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;The verdict is in on the flu shot. Many medical experts now agree it is more important to protect yourself and your family from the flu vaccine than the flu itself. Let’s take a look at the reasons behind this verdict. From extremely toxic ingredients and lack of sufficient research to disabling and even deadly side effects, here are 20 reasons you’ll want to consider before stepping up for your annual flu jab.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="entry-content clearfix"&gt;

&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;This article is a compilation re-post of two great articles from &lt;a href="http://www.bewellbuzz.com/" target="_blank" title="BeWellBuzz.com"&gt;BeWellBuzz.com&lt;/a&gt;. I can highly recommend this site as a great source of information on health, wellness and natural health care.&amp;nbsp;BeWellBuzz.com was created to spread the wellness Buzz, “&lt;em&gt;dispelling dangerous myths, society norms and enlightening people that maybe there are better methods for them to live and be well.&lt;/em&gt;“&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;I have edited and added the relevant references to document these 20 reasons. So, don’t just take my word for it. Do your own homework as well. Follow the links to the information from the &lt;strong&gt;CDC&lt;/strong&gt;, documents for the &lt;strong&gt;FDA&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;World Health Organization (WHO)&lt;/strong&gt;; as well as, several other prominent doctors such as Dr. Joseph Mercola, Dr. Russell Blaylock and many other references.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;The most important thing is to first educate yourself. &lt;a href="http://wellnessachiever.net/3-keys-achieving-real-health-and-wellness/" target="_blank" title="3 Keys to Achieving Real Health and Wellness"&gt;Your health&lt;/a&gt; is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;YOUR&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; responsibility. It is not the responsibility of your doctor or pediatrician. It is not your insurance company’s responsibility. It is certainly not the responsibility of the government! This information will empower you to make this vitally important health care decision based on &lt;strong&gt;FACTS&lt;/strong&gt; rather than media hype.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h1 dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;20 Reasons Why The Flu Shot Is More Dangerous Than The Flu&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;h2 dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;1) There is a total lack of real evidence that young children even benefit from the flu shot.(&lt;a href="http://minnesota.publicradio.org/features/2011/10/documents/flu.pdf%20(9)%20People%20can%20do%20without%20yearly%20flu%20vaccinations" target="_blank"&gt;8&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;A systematic review of 51 studies involving 260,000 children age 6 to 23 months found &lt;strong&gt;no evidence&lt;/strong&gt; that the flu vaccine is any more effective than a placebo. Also the shots are only able to protect against certain strains of the virus, which means that if you come into contact with a different strain of virus you will still get the flu.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span class="embed-youtube" style="display: block; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2 dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;2) Injecting vaccines can lead to serious health problems.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;Medical journals have published thousands of articles revealing that injecting vaccines can actually lead to serious health problems including harmful immunological responses and a host of other infections. This further increases the body’s susceptibility to the diseases that the vaccine was supposed to protect against.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2 dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;3) The flu shot causes immunosuppression.(&lt;a href="http://www.collegiatetimes.com/stories/19357/people-can-do-without-yearly-flu-vaccinations" target="_blank"&gt;9&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;Ever noticed how &lt;a href="http://wellnessachiever.net/top-10-toxins-poisoning-kids/" target="_blank" title="The Top 10 Toxins that are Poisoning Your Kids"&gt;vaccinated children&lt;/a&gt; within days or few weeks develop runny noses, pneumonia, ear infections and bronchiolitis? The reason is the flu virus introduced in their bodies which creates these symptoms. It also indicates immunosuppression (i.e. lowering of the immunity). The flu vaccines actually &lt;em&gt;do not immunize&lt;/em&gt; but &lt;strong&gt;sensitize&lt;/strong&gt; the body against the virus.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2 dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;4) The flu shot contains additional immune sensitizing ingredients.(&lt;a href="http://www.articlecity.com/articles/health/article_366.shtml" target="_blank"&gt;10&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;Its a known fact that Flu vaccines contain strains of the flu virus along with other ingredients. Now think about the impact such a vaccine can have over someone with a suppressed immune system? If you have a disease that is already lowering your body’s ability to fight a virus, taking the flu shot will put your body in danger of getting the full effects of the flu and make you more susceptible to pneumonia and other contagious diseases.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3 id="watch-headline-title"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;What’s In A Flu Shot&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h2 dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;5) Flu shots contain mercury.(&lt;a href="http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/downloads/appendices/B/excipient-table-2.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;11&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://vaccineinfo.net/immunization/vaccine/influenza/flu_vaccine_warning.shtml" target="_blank"&gt;12&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;Mercury is a heavy metal known to be hazardous for human health. The amount of mercury contained in a multi-dose flu shot is much higher than the maximum allowable daily exposure limit. Mercury toxicity can cause memory loss, &lt;a href="http://wellnessachiever.net/conquer-depression-naturally/" target="_blank" title="How to Conquer Depression Naturally"&gt;depression&lt;/a&gt;, ADD, oral health problems, digestive imbalances, respiratory problems, &lt;a href="http://wellnessachiever.net/6-steps-heal-coronary-heart-disease-naturally/" target="_blank" title="6 Steps to Heal Coronary Heart Disease Naturally"&gt;cardiovascular diseases&lt;/a&gt; and many more such serious health ailments.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2 dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;6) The flu shot is ineffective and dangerous for elderly.(&lt;a href="http://minnesota.publicradio.org/features/2011/10/documents/flu.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;8&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;There is mounting evidence that flu shots can cause Alzheimer’s disease. &amp;nbsp;One report shows that people who received the flu vaccine each year for 3 to 5 years had a 10-fold greater chance of developing Alzheimer’s disease than people who did not have any flu shots. &amp;nbsp;Also with age the immune system weakens, thus lowering your ability to fight off infections. Introducing the flu virus in the bodies of elderly could have dangerous consequences.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2 dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;7) The CDC Advisory Committee cannot be trusted.(&lt;a href="http://www.lewrockwell.com/2008/10/donald-w-miller-jr-md/dont-get-a-flu-shot-2/" target="_blank"&gt;13&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;The Center for Disease Control appoints a 15-member Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). This committee is responsible for deciding who should be vaccinated each year. Almost all the ACIP have a financial interest in immunizations. It’s all about the money and may have very little to do with your health and well being. The very people pushing these vaccines stand to make billions of dollars. This itself creates a doubt on how effective these flu vaccines really are.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3 id="watch-headline-title"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;Flu Vaccine Exposed: Think Twice!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h2 dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;8) Overuse of flu vaccines may be making flu viruses more deadly.(&lt;a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/09/26/flu-vaccine-exposed.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;14&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;Research shows that over-use of the flu-vaccine and drugs like Tamiflu and Relenza can actually alter flu viruses and cause them to mutate into a more deadly strain. Couple this with drug resistant strains and you have virtually no benefits with much risk.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2 dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;9) Several ingredients cause serious neurological disorders.(&lt;a href="http://therefusers.com/refusers-newsroom/swine-flu-vaccine-caused-paralysis-pre-pandemic-bird-flu-vaccination-proposed/#.Ult1hFBwq8E" target="_blank"&gt;15&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;There is enough evidence that shows that the ingredients present in the flu vaccinations can actually cause serious neurological disorders. In the 1976 swine flu outbreak(&lt;a href="http://www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/vaccine/guillainbarre.htm" target="_blank"&gt;16&lt;/a&gt;), many who got the flu shots developed permanent nerve damage. Flu vaccines can contain many harmful materials including detergent, mercury, formaldehyde, and strains of live flu virus. Is this what you want to put in YOUR body?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2 dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;10) The ridiculous guessing game of flu strains.(&lt;a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/09/26/flu-vaccine-exposed.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;14&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;Trying to guess what strain to vaccinate against each season has proved to be no more effective than a guessing game. This has been very true in recent years with the H1N1 strain. Moreover, getting multi-shots will only prove more dangerous as different strains of viruses and harmful ingredients are introduced into your body.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2 dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;11) CDC reports even more adverse events with Fluzone High-Dose.(&lt;a href="http://www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/vaccine/qa_fluzone.htm" target="_blank"&gt;17&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;Sanofi Pasteur’s &lt;a href="http://www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/vaccine/qa_fluzone.htm" target="_blank"&gt;Fluzone High-Dose&lt;/a&gt; is a new influenza vaccine created in 2010 for people over 65 years of age. Even though the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) insists that the vaccine is as safe as any other seasonal vaccine, the fact is that the shot is replete with side effects like pain, redness and swelling at the injection site, headache, muscle aches, fever, and malaise. All the listed negative symptoms were observed during clinical studies for Fluzone High-Dose.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2 dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;12) CDC expects at least mild, flu-like side effects.(&lt;a href="http://www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/vaccine/general.htm" target="_blank"&gt;7&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/qa/flushot.htm" target="_blank"&gt;18&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;The CDC says that the &lt;a href="http://wellnessachiever.net/shocking-truth-flu-deaths-flu-shot/" target="_blank" title="The Shocking Truth About Flu Deaths and the Flu Shot!"&gt;2013-2014 flu vaccine&lt;/a&gt; will also have the same side effects the 2010-2013 vaccines had. These include soreness, redness, tenderness, or swelling where the shot is administered and nasal congestion after the flu vaccine nasal spray.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2 dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;13) Novartis’ Monovalent Vaccine caused Guillain-Barre Syndrome, anaphylactic shock, &amp;nbsp;and death.(&lt;a href="http://www.fda.gov/downloads/biologicsbloodvaccines/vaccines/approvedproducts/ucm182242.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;19&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;The 2009 package insert for Novartis’ Monovalent Vaccine which was leaked on the internet created a huge uproar. Why? Because, its side effects, as stated on the insert, include: Guillain-Barre Syndrome, anaphylactic shock, vasculitis, and get this – death. This finding backed two studies conducted in 2007 and 2009, of which the latter found that, out of every million people diagnosed with flu, between 40 and 70 developed Guillain-Barre after getting the shot. However, this information didn’t stop Government health officials from pushing the vaccine into the market in 2010 and 2011.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h4 dir="ltr"&gt;

&lt;h2 dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;14) 2010 flu shot for children caused high rate of febrile seizures.(&lt;a href="http://www.theepochtimes.com/n2/health/flu-shot-seizures-children-42851.html" target="_blank"&gt;20&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/vaccine/febrile.htm" target="_blank"&gt;21&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;In December of 2010, however, the flu vaccine formulated specifically for children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years old was found to be causing a higher than normal incidence of febrile seizures&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2 dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;15) The World Health Organization reported in 2010 a link between H1N1 vaccine and narcolepsy.(&lt;a href="http://www.who.int/vaccine_safety/committee/topics/influenza/pandemic/h1n1_safety_assessing/narcolepsy_statement/en/" target="_blank"&gt;22&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;In February 2010, The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that 12 countries had recorded a possible link between the development of narcolepsy, a chronic nervous system disorder that makes people uncontrollably fall asleep, and the H1N1 vaccine. Finland, was one of those countries who openly admitted that the swine flu vaccine “conclusively” causes narcolepsy. &lt;em&gt;The Finnish government acknowledged that link and said that would &lt;strong&gt;pay for “lifetime medical care” for 79 children&lt;/strong&gt; who have been irreparably damaged by the swine flu vaccine.&lt;/em&gt; Narcolepsy wasn’t the only side effect admitted to be caused by swine flu vaccines: 76 of the 79 children also suffered hallucinations and “paralyzing physical collapses”.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h2 dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;16) H1N1 flu shot linked to miscarriages.(&lt;a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/030657_vaccines_miscarriages.html#ixzz2hfWKg3KR" target="_blank"&gt;23&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;A series of miscarriages were recorded in the US after June 2010 due to the H1N1 vaccination. Hundreds of cases were reported across the country, and most miscarriages took place within days of the vaccination.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3 id="watch-headline-title"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;Doctors speak out about H1N1 VACCINE DANGERS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;span class="embed-youtube" style="display: block; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2 dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;17) Flu shot increases risk of Alzhiemer’s disease 10 times!(&lt;a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/037323_flu_vaccines_junk_science_toxicity.html" target="_blank"&gt;24&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;Dr. Hugh Fudenberg, a world renowned immunogeneticist announced that you have a ten-fold increased chance of Alzheimer’s after receiving five flu shots. That’s &lt;strong&gt;ten times&lt;/strong&gt; more likely than no flu shots or one, not ten percent more likely.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2 dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;18) &amp;nbsp;In 2010, Australia banned flu vaccines in children.(&lt;a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/029586_Australia_vaccines.html#ixzz2hfKeUtFC" target="_blank"&gt;25&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;Vaccinated children were going into convulsions, began vomiting, exhibiting dangerously high levels of fever, and having seizures. The flu shot also put at least one child into a coma.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3 id="watch-headline-title"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;Vaccines, flu shots, autism, and alzheimer’s&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;span class="embed-youtube" style="display: block; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2 dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;19) No evidence of protection in people over age 65.(&lt;a href="http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=flu-shots-may-not-protect-the-elderly-or-the-very-young" target="_blank"&gt;26&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/10/17/dangerous-new-ineffective-flu-vaccine-released-for-seniors.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;27&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;A study published in the Cochrane Systematic Review in 2010 stated that there was no scientific evidence to prove that regular or seasonal flu shots protect people over the age of 65. The study concluded: “Evidence for the safety and efficacy of influenza vaccines in the over 65 is poor, despite the fact that vaccination has been recommended for the prevention of influenza in older people for the past 40 years.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2 dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;20) The Lancet published a study showing that the flu shot was only 1.2% effective.(&lt;a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/033998_influenza_vaccines_effectiveness.html#ixzz2hfXdZOmH" target="_blank"&gt;28&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;A study conducted by The Lancet in 2010 brought out some startling revelations about the effectiveness of flu shots. The study involved a control group of 13,095 adults who were not vaccinated. The group was monitored to see if participants had been infected by the influenza virus, but &lt;strong&gt;97% remained unaffected&lt;/strong&gt;. Only 2.7% or 357 people in the non-vaccinated group ended up contracting the virus. Of the group of adults who were vaccinated with a trivalent inactivated influenza shot, &lt;strong&gt;only 1.2% did not catch the flu&lt;/strong&gt;. The difference between the two outcomes is that&lt;em&gt; the flu vaccine only prevents the flu in &lt;strong&gt;1.5 out of every 100 adults&lt;/strong&gt; injected with the flu shot &lt;strong&gt;not 60%&lt;/strong&gt; as you’ve been told&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;Despite such studies and findings, you still have millions of Americans rushing to stand in line for annual flu shots. In 2010, 130.9 million people got the flu shot – an increase of 8 million people from 2009.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;Flu shots are indeed &lt;a href="http://wellnessachiever.net/shocking-truth-flu-deaths-flu-shot/" target="_blank" title="The Shocking Truth About Flu Deaths and the Flu Shot!"&gt;more dangerous than you could think&lt;/a&gt;, and it is best to rely on natural ways to protect against the flu rather than getting yourself vaccinated.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;Isn’t it interesting that the mainstream public health officials never promote the various proven ways to avoid the flu other than through vaccination? &amp;nbsp;How about spending some of the billions of advertising dollars teaching us natural ways to boost our immune systems and avoid the flu without harmful and sometimes deadly vaccinations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: helvetica;"&gt;There are several natural remedies for the flu that are far more effective and pose no danger whatsoever to our health. We’d do well to educate ourselves about the true motives of Big Pharma and think twice before going out to get a flu shot this season.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Many medical experts now agree it is more important to protect yourself and your family from the flu vaccine than the flu itself. Let’s take a look at the reasons behind this verdict. From extremely toxic ingredients and lack of sufficient research to disabling and even deadly side effects, here are 20 reasons you’ll want to consider before stepping up for your annual flu jab. &amp;nbsp; Update: You don’t want to miss this!&amp;nbsp;Influenza Vaccine Facts They Don’t Want You to Know! This article is a compilation re-post of two great articles from BeWellBuzz.com. I can highly recommend this site as a great source of information on health, wellness and natural health care.&amp;nbsp;BeWellBuzz.com was created to spread the wellness Buzz, “dispelling dangerous myths, society norms and enlightening people that maybe there are better methods for them to live and be well.“ I have edited and added the relevant references to document these 20 reasons. So, don’t just take my word for it. Do your own homework as well. Follow the links to the information from the CDC, documents for the FDA and World Health Organization (WHO); as well as, several other prominent doctors such as Dr. Joseph Mercola, Dr. Russell Blaylock and many other references. The most important thing is to first educate yourself. Your health is YOUR responsibility. It is not the responsibility of your doctor or pediatrician. It is not your insurance company’s responsibility. It is certainly not the responsibility of the government! This information will empower you to make this vitally important health care decision based on FACTS rather than media hype. Related Article:&amp;nbsp;The Shocking Truth About Flu Deaths and the Flu Shot! 20 Reasons Why The Flu Shot Is More Dangerous Than The Flu 1) There is a total lack of real evidence that young children even benefit from the flu shot.(8) A systematic review of 51 studies involving 260,000 children age 6 to 23 months found no evidence that the flu vaccine is any more effective than a placebo. Also the shots are only able to protect against certain strains of the virus, which means that if you come into contact with a different strain of virus you will still get the flu. 2) Injecting vaccines can lead to serious health problems. Medical journals have published thousands of articles revealing that injecting vaccines can actually lead to serious health problems including harmful immunological responses and a host of other infections. This further increases the body’s susceptibility to the diseases that the vaccine was supposed to protect against. 3) The flu shot causes immunosuppression.(9) Ever noticed how vaccinated children within days or few weeks develop runny noses, pneumonia, ear infections and bronchiolitis? The reason is the flu virus introduced in their bodies which creates these symptoms. It also indicates immunosuppression (i.e. lowering of the immunity). The flu vaccines actually do not immunize but sensitize the body against the virus. 4) The flu shot contains additional immune sensitizing ingredients.(10) Its a known fact that Flu vaccines contain strains of the flu virus along with other ingredients. Now think about the impact such a vaccine can have over someone with a suppressed immune system? If you have a disease that is already lowering your body’s ability to fight a virus, taking the flu shot will put your body in danger of getting the full effects of the flu and make you more susceptible to pneumonia and other contagious diseases. What’s In A Flu Shot 5) Flu shots contain mercury.(11, 12) Mercury is a heavy metal known to be hazardous for human health. The amount of mercury contained in a multi-dose flu shot is much higher than the maximum allowable daily exposure limit. Mercury toxicity can cause memory loss, depression, ADD, oral health problems, digestive imbalances, respiratory problems, cardiovascular diseases and many more such serious health ailments. 6) The flu shot is ineffective and dangerous for elderly.(8) There is mounting evidence that flu shots can cause Alzheimer’s disease. &amp;nbsp;One report shows that people who received the flu vaccine each year for 3 to 5 years had a 10-fold greater chance of developing Alzheimer’s disease than people who did not have any flu shots. &amp;nbsp;Also with age the immune system weakens, thus lowering your ability to fight off infections. Introducing the flu virus in the bodies of elderly could have dangerous consequences. 7) The CDC Advisory Committee cannot be trusted.(13) The Center for Disease Control appoints a 15-member Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). This committee is responsible for deciding who should be vaccinated each year. Almost all the ACIP have a financial interest in immunizations. It’s all about the money and may have very little to do with your health and well being. The very people pushing these vaccines stand to make billions of dollars. This itself creates a doubt on how effective these flu vaccines really are. Flu Vaccine Exposed: Think Twice! 8) Overuse of flu vaccines may be making flu viruses more deadly.(14) Research shows that over-use of the flu-vaccine and drugs like Tamiflu and Relenza can actually alter flu viruses and cause them to mutate into a more deadly strain. Couple this with drug resistant strains and you have virtually no benefits with much risk. 9) Several ingredients cause serious neurological disorders.(15) There is enough evidence that shows that the ingredients present in the flu vaccinations can actually cause serious neurological disorders. In the 1976 swine flu outbreak(16), many who got the flu shots developed permanent nerve damage. Flu vaccines can contain many harmful materials including detergent, mercury, formaldehyde, and strains of live flu virus. Is this what you want to put in YOUR body? 10) The ridiculous guessing game of flu strains.(14) Trying to guess what strain to vaccinate against each season has proved to be no more effective than a guessing game. This has been very true in recent years with the H1N1 strain. Moreover, getting multi-shots will only prove more dangerous as different strains of viruses and harmful ingredients are introduced into your body. 11) CDC reports even more adverse events with Fluzone High-Dose.(17) Sanofi Pasteur’s Fluzone High-Dose is a new influenza vaccine created in 2010 for people over 65 years of age. Even though the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) insists that the vaccine is as safe as any other seasonal vaccine, the fact is that the shot is replete with side effects like pain, redness and swelling at the injection site, headache, muscle aches, fever, and malaise. All the listed negative symptoms were observed during clinical studies for Fluzone High-Dose. 12) CDC expects at least mild, flu-like side effects.(7, 18) The CDC says that the 2013-2014 flu vaccine will also have the same side effects the 2010-2013 vaccines had. These include soreness, redness, tenderness, or swelling where the shot is administered and nasal congestion after the flu vaccine nasal spray. 13) Novartis’ Monovalent Vaccine caused Guillain-Barre Syndrome, anaphylactic shock, &amp;nbsp;and death.(19) The 2009 package insert for Novartis’ Monovalent Vaccine which was leaked on the internet created a huge uproar. Why? Because, its side effects, as stated on the insert, include: Guillain-Barre Syndrome, anaphylactic shock, vasculitis, and get this – death. This finding backed two studies conducted in 2007 and 2009, of which the latter found that, out of every million people diagnosed with flu, between 40 and 70 developed Guillain-Barre after getting the shot. However, this information didn’t stop Government health officials from pushing the vaccine into the market in 2010 and 2011.

Narcolepsy wasn’t the only side effect admitted to be caused by swine flu vaccines: 76 of the 79 children also suffered hallucinations and “paralyzing physical collapses”.&amp;nbsp; 16) H1N1 flu shot linked to miscarriages.(23) A series of miscarriages were recorded in the US after June 2010 due to the H1N1 vaccination. Hundreds of cases were reported across the country, and most miscarriages took place within days of the vaccination. Doctors speak out about H1N1 VACCINE DANGERS 17) Flu shot increases risk of Alzhiemer’s disease 10 times!(24) Dr. Hugh Fudenberg, a world renowned immunogeneticist announced that you have a ten-fold increased chance of Alzheimer’s after receiving five flu shots. That’s ten times more likely than no flu shots or one, not ten percent more likely. 18) &amp;nbsp;In 2010, Australia banned flu vaccines in children.(25) Vaccinated children were going into convulsions, began vomiting, exhibiting dangerously high levels of fever, and having seizures. The flu shot also put at least one child into a coma. Vaccines, flu shots, autism, and alzheimer’s 19) No evidence of protection in people over age 65.(26, 27) A study published in the Cochrane Systematic Review in 2010 stated that there was no scientific evidence to prove that regular or seasonal flu shots protect people over the age of 65. The study concluded: “Evidence for the safety and efficacy of influenza vaccines in the over 65 is poor, despite the fact that vaccination has been recommended for the prevention of influenza in older people for the past 40 years.” 20) The Lancet published a study showing that the flu shot was only 1.2% effective.(28) A study conducted by The Lancet in 2010 brought out some startling revelations about the effectiveness of flu shots. The study involved a control group of 13,095 adults who were not vaccinated. The group was monitored to see if participants had been infected by the influenza virus, but 97% remained unaffected. Only 2.7% or 357 people in the non-vaccinated group ended up contracting the virus. Of the group of adults who were vaccinated with a trivalent inactivated influenza shot, only 1.2% did not catch the flu. The difference between the two outcomes is that the flu vaccine only prevents the flu in 1.5 out of every 100 adults injected with the flu shot not 60% as you’ve been told. &amp;nbsp; Despite such studies and findings, you still have millions of Americans rushing to stand in line for annual flu shots. In 2010, 130.9 million people got the flu shot – an increase of 8 million people from 2009. Flu shots are indeed more dangerous than you could think, and it is best to rely on natural ways to protect against the flu rather than getting yourself vaccinated. Isn’t it interesting that the mainstream public health officials never promote the various proven ways to avoid the flu other than through vaccination? &amp;nbsp;How about spending some of the billions of advertising dollars teaching us natural ways to boost our immune systems and avoid the flu without harmful and sometimes deadly vaccinations. There are several natural remedies for the flu that are far more effective and pose no danger whatsoever to our health. We’d do well to educate ourselves about the true motives of Big Pharma and think twice before going out to get a flu shot this season.</itunes:summary></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1054969981072872712.post-2157861553864429147</guid><pubDate>Sun, 05 Jan 2014 18:43:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2014-01-05T10:43:27.299-08:00</atom:updated><title/><description>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;

How many folks do you know who say they don't want to drink anything before going to bed because they'll have to get up during the night.
Heart Attack and Water - I never knew all of this ! Interesting.......
Something else I didn't know ... I asked my Doctor why people need to urinate so much at night time. Answer from my Cardiac Doctor - Gravity holds water in the lower part of your body when you are upright (legs swell). When you lie down and the lower body (legs and etc) seeks level with the kidneys, it is then that the kidneys remove the water because it is easier. This then ties in with the last statement!
I knew you need your minimum water to help flush the toxins out of your body, but this was news to me. Correct time to drink water...
Very Important. From A Cardiac Specialist!
Drinking water at a certain time maximizes its effectiveness on the body
2 glasses of water after waking up - helps activate internal organs
1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal - helps digestion
1 glass of water before taking a bath - helps lower blood pressure
1 glass of water before going to bed - avoids stroke or heart attack
I can also add to this... My Physician told me that water at bed time will also help prevent night time leg cramps. Your leg muscles are seeking hydration when they cramp and wake you up with a Charlie Horse.
Mayo Clinic Aspirin Dr. Virend Somers, is a Cardiologist from the Mayo Clinic, who is lead author of the report in the July 29, 2008 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
Most heart attacks occur in the day, generally between 6 A.M. and noon. Having one during the night, when the heart should be most at rest, means that something unusual happened. Somers and his colleagues have been working for a decade to show that sleep apnea is to blame.
1. If you take an aspirin or a baby aspirin once a day, take it at night.
The reason: Aspirin has a 24-hour &amp;quot;half-life&amp;quot;; therefore, if most heart attacks happen in the wee hours of the morning, the Aspirin would be strongest in your system.
2. FYI, Aspirin lasts a really long time in your medicine chest, for years, (when it gets old, it smells like vinegar).
Please read on...
Something that we can do to help ourselves - nice to know. Bayer is making crystal aspirin to dissolve instantly on the tongue.
They work much faster than the tablets.
Why keep Aspirin by your bedside? It's about Heart Attacks.
There are other symptoms of a heart attack, besides the pain on the left arm. One must also be aware of an intense pain on the chin, as well as nausea and lots of sweating; however, these symptoms may also occur less frequently.
Note: There may be NO pain in the chest during a heart attack.
The majority of people (about 60%) who had a heart attack during their sleep did not wake up. However, if it occurs, the chest pain may wake you up from your deep sleep.
If that happens, immediately dissolve two aspirins in your mouth and swallow them with a bit of water.
Afterwards: - Call 911. - Phone a neighbor or a family member who lives very close by.- Say &amp;quot;heart attack!&amp;quot; - Say that you have taken 2 Aspirins.
Take a seat on a chair or sofa near the front door, and wait for their arrival and ...DO NOT LIE DOWN!

&lt;span id="yui_3_13_0_rc_1_1_1381341445831_9572" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Hi all its been a while since my last post a very good friend of mine shared some great information with me as usual I just had to pass it on, HAPPY READING ALL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;

&lt;span id="yui_3_13_0_rc_1_1_1381341445831_9550" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;One type of natural blood thinners are substances that &lt;a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3726797" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;block vitamin K&lt;/a&gt; known as &lt;a href="http://www.feingold.org/sas.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;salicylates&lt;/a&gt;. The most well known of these is aspirin, but many foods, such as preservatives and flavorings, also contain salicylates or aspirin-like substances. Some individuals are known to be aspirin or salicylate sensitive. I'm one of those salicylate sensitive types, but I have found that I can eat more salicylates as long as I eat a balanced amount of vitamin K foods. (Vitamin K plays an important role in the body's in blood clotting processes. The "K" in vitamin K gets its name from the Danish word for coagulation.) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I think this is because by thinning the blood they increase a person's blood circulation, which in turn speeds up the metabolism and makes a person feel warmer. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
FLEX will be the first to tell you the truth regarding high-protein diets. And the truth is that they not only will help you build more muscle and strength but also help you drop &lt;a class="kLink" href="http://www.flexonline.com/nutrition/eating-right/high-protein-diet-does-fact-increase-fat-loss#" id="KonaLink1" style="position: static; text-decoration: underline !important;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue; font-family: &amp;quot;PT Sans&amp;quot;, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; position: static;"&gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: #b00000; font-family: &amp;quot;PT Sans&amp;quot;, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; position: relative;"&gt;bodyfat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Researchers from Laval University (Quebec City) reviewed all the literature on protein and fat loss and concluded that following a high-protein diet does in fact increase fat loss. This may be due to  the fact that high-protein diets increase metabolic rate and decrease hunger.&lt;br /&gt;
They also concluded that dairy proteins, such as whey and casein, are best for building muscle, yet the kind of protein consumed, plant or animal, had no effect on fat loss.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;The take- home point here is to eat 1–1.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight each day from a variety of protein sources, &lt;/strong&gt;such as lean beef, poultry, eggs, fish and dairy. Be sure to use whey and casein protein powders to enhance muscle growth, as well as aid fat loss.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;REFERENCE: &lt;/strong&gt;J-A Gilbert et al., “Effect of proteins from different sources on body composition,” &lt;em&gt;Nutrition, Metabolism &amp;amp; Cardiovascular Diseases, &lt;/em&gt;in press, 2011.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: lime;"&gt;10 Terrific Benefits of Ginger&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 1. Haven’t been feeling hungry? Eat fresh ginger just before lunch to stoke a dull appetite and fire up the digestive juices.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 2. Ginger improves the absorption and assimilation of essential nutrients in the body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 3. Ginger clears the ‘microcirculatory channels’ of the body, including the pesky sinuses that tend to flare up from time to time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 4. Feeling airsick or nauseous? Chew on ginger, preferably tossed in a little honey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 5. Can’t stop the toot-a-thon? Gas—oops—guess what?! Ginger helps reduce flatulence!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 6. Tummy moaning and groaning under cramps? Munch on ginger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 7. Reeling under joint pain? Ginger, with its anti-inflammatory properties—can bring relief. Float some ginger essential oil into your bath to help aching muscles and joints.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 8. Got a surgery done? Chewing ginger post-operation can help overcome nausea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 9. Stir up some ginger tea to get rid of throat and nose congestion. And when there’s a nip in the air, the warming benefits of this tasty tea are even greater!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 10. Bedroom blues? Try adding a gingery punch to a bowl of soup. (Pss...the Ayurvedic texts credit ginger with aphrodisiac properties)&lt;br /&gt;

If you’re not a fan of breakfast foods, make a mini pizza in minutes by topping a whole-wheat English muffin with tomato puree, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.everydayhealth.com/healthy-recipes/cheese.aspx"&gt;low-fat shredded cheese&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, and any chopped vegetables you like. Then, pop it in the oven until the cheese is melted.&lt;br /&gt;
Like your pizza authentic? There’s nothing wrong with heating up a slice of last night’s whole-wheat veggie pizza for a fast breakfast either, Melissa Joy Dobbins, MS, RD, an instructor at the Kendall College School of Culinary Arts in Chicago and an ADA spokeswoman, says.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
(NaturalNews) The typical American diet is a deadly one, consisting primarily of  toxic and acid-forming foods like processed sugars, artificial sweeteners,  refined grains, conventionally produced meats and dairy, and hidden genetically  modified organisms. All this, combined with a plethora of other challenging  environmental factors (such as lack of rest, psychological stress, and  pharmaceutical drugs), mean it's no wonder that more and more people are being  diagnosed with chronic, degenerative illnesses or otherwise deadly conditions  for which modern conventional medicine claims to have no known cure.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One  of the basic underlying problems with this unsustainable lifestyle - and there  are many - is the average consumer's lack of understanding that the body must  balance the blood's pH levels at a slightly alkaline level of 7.365 in order to  survive. When a person ingests food to "burn" for fuel, the digestive and  metabolic process transforms it into a kind of ash which is either acidic or  alkaline. The laws of modern biochemistry further explain that it is not the  organic matter of foods (whether the food itself is acidic or alkaline), but  their inorganic matter (such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, sulfur,  phosphorous; that is, how they break down in our bodies), that determines either  the acidity or alkalinity of this ashy residue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For this reason, and  because all foods in nature contain both acid and alkaline-forming elements  according to the &lt;i&gt;Conscious Living Center&lt;/i&gt;, balance is either achieved or  thwarted as a direct result of the &lt;a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/foods.html"&gt;foods&lt;/a&gt; we choose to eat. Too many acid-forming foods can have dire consequences for our  health, with "acidosis" being a common diagnosis in diabetics, for example. This  is because when the nutrients required to maintain this slightly &lt;a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/alkaline.html"&gt;alkaline&lt;/a&gt; state cannot be obtained from food, the body will instead draw from its own  stores, like the bones or other vital tissues - damaging its ability to repair  itself and detoxify heavy metals, thereby making a person more vulnerable to  fatigue and illness. And the margin for error is small. Even an only slightly  acidic pH of 6.9 can actually lead to coma and death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of course, the  ultimate goal is balance. Eating too many alkalizing foods can lead to its own  fair share of complications over time, but the risk of this is seemingly less  likely, given the current sorry state of today's highly addictive consumerist  diet. To combat the effects of such a diet, here are six of the most  alkaline-forming foods to work into your everyday meals:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2 style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #274e13;"&gt;1. Root vegetables&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
Due to the healing "yang" nature of these foods in  traditional Chinese medicine, and their tendency to be more rich in minerals  than many other vegetables, it may be safe to say that you can't get enough of  them. Look for radishes especially (black, red or white), as well as beets,  carrots, turnips, horseradish and rutabaga. Ready to eat after steaming for just  15-20 minutes, root vegetables will help you feel both satiated and better  grounded.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2 style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #274e13;"&gt;2. Cruciferous vegetables&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
These are the veggies we all know and love,  made even more delicious with just a small amount of healthy, homemade sauce  like pesto. Choose from broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and the  like.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2 style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #274e13;"&gt;3. Leafy greens&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
These include kale, Swiss chard, turnip greens and  spinach - of which spinach may in fact be the best pick. Known especially for  its rich vitamin K and folate content, spinach is also packed with vitamins,  minerals, phytochemicals, antioxidants and fiber, helping to improve digestion  and even vision.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2 style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #274e13;"&gt;4. Garlic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
A true miracle food, garlic appears at the top of innumerable  lists of foods that encourage overall health, and alkaline-forming food is no  exception. Among its other benefits are its ability to promote cardiovascular  and immune health by lowering blood pressure, cleansing the liver and fighting  off disease.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2 style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #274e13;"&gt;5. Cayenne peppers (capsicum)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
As part of a family of potent, tropical  peppers which contain enzymes essential to endocrine function, cayenne is among  the most alkalizing foods. It is known for its antibacterial properties and is a  rich supply of vitamin A, making it a helpful agent in fighting off the harmful  free radicals that lead to stress and illness.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2 style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #274e13;"&gt;6. Lemons&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
Lemons may be the most alkalizing food of all. As a natural  disinfectant, it can heal wounds while also providing potent and immediate  relief for hyperacidity and virus-related conditions, as well as coughs, colds,  flu and heartburn. Lemon also works to energize the liver and promote  detoxification.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So it can't hurt to think twice about what's on your  plate at your next meal, but &lt;i&gt;not doing so&lt;/i&gt; might. Just applying that  age-old motherly advice to "eat your vegetables" can be a solid first step in  achieving better health.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
(NaturalNews) Dr. Oz's recent attack on organics has left a large number of  people shocked at his &lt;a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/038157_Dr_Oz_organic_food_sellout.html"&gt;betrayal  of the organic consumer community&lt;/a&gt;. Yesterday, his Facebook page was being  absolutely inundated with posts from people calling him a "betrayer" and asking  why he would attack organics and start promoting feedlot beef and food made with  pesticides and GMO.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
But Dr. Oz's attack on organics is not the action of  a lone madman who has lost touch with reality. It's part of &lt;b&gt;a coordinated  P.R. campaign that has been organized against organics&lt;/b&gt;, Natural News has  learned, and it's being run behind the scenes by one of the most prominent P.R.  companies in America.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
Their tactics resemble that of Big Tobacco in the  20th century, which promoted cigarettes by linking them to freedom and  "coolness." Today, as Dr. Oz's TIME Magazine article nauseatingly demonstrated,  the P.R. strategy is to try to &lt;a href="http://www.cornucopia.org/2012/11/organic-food-justice-for-the-99/"&gt;link  organics with "elitism" by calling people who eat organics "the snooty 1%."&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1 style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #38761d;"&gt;Where did Oz get his talking points?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
Dr. Oz was not the author of the  talking points highlighted in his article, I believe. Those were likely handed  to him by the P.R. firm behind the attack on organics, and this same P.R. firm  (which shall go un-named for the time being) also has links to the "No on 37"  campaign in California that got caught breaking federal law, &lt;a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/037699_Monsanto_criminal_misconduct_No_on_37.html"&gt;fabricating  FDA quotes and impersonating police organizations&lt;/a&gt; in order to steal the vote  away from the YES on 37 campaign.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
The way the plot works is to recruit  influential people, then convince them to put their names on highly  manipulative, derogatory stories about organics that are placed in mainstream  media rags such as TIME Magazine or the New York Times, often dubbed the "toilet  paper of record."&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
Roger Cohen at the New York Times recently put his name  on a story that called people who eat organics "&lt;a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/037094_Roger_Cohen_New_York_Times_organic_foods.html"&gt;delusional  cult members&lt;/a&gt;." That article implied that people who choose organic food  suffer from a mental disorder. For that article, Natural News gave him the &lt;a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/037094_Roger_Cohen_New_York_Times_organic_foods.html"&gt;2012  Idiot of the Year Award&lt;/a&gt; (which, in retrospect, may have been premature as  Dr. Oz is definitely in the running now...)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
The world recently learned  that &lt;b&gt;TIME Magazine suffers from hilarious nutritional illiteracy&lt;/b&gt; when its  own managing editor, Rick Stengel, recently declared that canned food was  nutritionally identical to organic food. &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g96_BsOVZCk"&gt;Click  here to listen to Robert Scott Bell and Jerry Doyle break down this outrageously  ignorant statement&lt;/a&gt; from TIME Magazine's editor. This is all part of the same  orchestrated plot against organics that we saw Dr. Oz spewing  recently.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
Dr. Oz joined the ranks of the food sellouts by claiming that  &lt;a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/038157_Dr_Oz_organic_food_sellout.html"&gt;people  who eat organic foods are "snooty" and "elitist" and even "undemocratic,"&lt;/a&gt; as  if choosing organic food is somehow anti-American. Real Americans eat pesticides  and GMOs, Dr. Oz implied!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
Who is behind this massive P.R. effort to  destroy organics? The usual suspects, of course: All the same corporations that  were behind the "No on 37" campaign. The near-victory of YES on 37 freaked them  out, and they realized they cannot win the GMO labeling issue long term, so the  only way to defend their territory and profits is to &lt;b&gt;make healthy food seem  un-cool and elitist.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
It is my belief that &lt;b&gt;Dr. Oz is part of an  organized plot to destroy organics&lt;/b&gt;. Influential people are being approached  and recruited. Mainstream media publication of the hit pieces is being  "arranged" at high levels. Talking points are being crafted by master  manipulators. And the whole thing is funded by the obvious opponents of  organics: &lt;b&gt;Pesticide companies&lt;/b&gt; and biotech firms.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1 style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #38761d;"&gt;Why is organic better, actually?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
Organic certification is one of the  best things to come out of the federal government. Run by the USDA, organic  certification audits the &lt;i&gt;process&lt;/i&gt; of food production, handling and  packaging. A farmer who obtains USDA organic certification must be able to prove  the he used no synthetic chemicals on his farm. Everything that goes onto the  plants -- fertilizer, insecticides, etc. -- must be from a stringent list of  acceptable organic items such as neem oil for insect control. This is all  audited for compliance, both at the paperwork level (showing purchase receipts,  for example) and physically at the farm.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
At the food formulator and  packing level, organic certification means you follow a very stringent  &lt;i&gt;process&lt;/i&gt; for tracking raw materials, blending food products, packaging and  labeling them.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
Both farmers and food packers are &lt;b&gt;audited once a  year&lt;/b&gt; by a USDA-approved organic certifier. This includes an on-site  inspection which covers detailed requirements including cleaning solutions for  machinery and even rodent control. Toxic rat poisons, for example, are not  allowed to be used in a certified organic facility.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
In great contrast to  organic food production, a non-organic operation can spray any toxic sludge they  wish on crops in the field, including sludge laden with heavy metals. Food  packing and handling can take place in a warehouse that's chemically fumigated  with toxic, cancer-causing chemicals. There are no requirements that food  batches be tracked or tested for possible contamination. A non-organic label  means, essentially, "almost anything goes."&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
Because of the requirements  of organic certification, &lt;b&gt;organic foods consistently test as far lower in  synthetic chemicals&lt;/b&gt;, and of course genetically modified foods are not  allowed to be labeled "organic" at all. Organic foods are higher in nutrients,  and their production method &lt;b&gt;is more kind to the planet&lt;/b&gt; because synthetic  chemicals are not sprayed on farms and then washed into streams, rivers and  oceans.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
Dr. Oz apparently does not care about any of this. He wants you  to eat foods sprayed with synthetic chemicals that pollute the planet. He wants  you to eat foods laced with toxic pesticides, herbicides and unknown quantities  of heavy metals. He wants you to think that eating more agricultural poison is  "cool" and that demanding clean, non-GMO, non-poisoned food is "elitist" and  "snooty."&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
Such is the sad truth about a man who has sold out to the  propaganda interests of the biotech and pesticide industries. Organic food is  "undemocratic," he says, implying that if everybody just ate more GMOs and  chemicals, then we'd all be more "equal." Huh? Yeah. That's how warped the P.R.  has become on all this: Let's all be &lt;b&gt;equally poisoned&lt;/b&gt; and call it  "democratic."&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1 style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #38761d;"&gt;You are going to see the attack on organics ramped up&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
Watch for more  high-level attacks on organics from major newspapers and magazines. Based on the  information I have received so far, it appears this P.R. propaganda effort --  which smacks of the tactics of &lt;a href="http://www.prwatch.org/prwissues/1999Q2/bernays.html"&gt;Edward  Bernays&lt;/a&gt; -- is actively recruiting high-level people who agree to put their  names on op-ed pieces that are essentially &lt;b&gt;ghost-written by the biotech  industry&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
It is very common, by the way, for drug companies to &lt;a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/033388_medical_journals_ghostwriting.html"&gt;ghost-write  "scientific" papers that are placed in so-called "science journals"&lt;/a&gt; under  the names of prominent scientists who are paid to take part in the conspiracy.  The pharmaceutical industry got &lt;a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/029945_HRT_drugs_medical_journals.html"&gt;caught  red-handed fabricating papers in this way about hormone replacement  therapy&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
So don't think this tactic is unusual. It happens every day  in America behind the scenes of the corporations that manufacture toxic  vaccines, prescription drugs or GMOs. It's "business as usual" for those who are  trying to pretend their poisons are somehow "scientific."&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
Beyond the  fraudulent authorship of papers and articles, the P.R. propaganda effort also  involves distributing a list of distorted, manipulative talking points to news  organizations and TV talk shows. They include points like "organic is elitist"  or "not all Americans can afford organic food, therefore it's un-American to  recommend organic to everyone." Watch for talking heads on the evening news to  start mindlessly repeating these talking points in the days ahead.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1 style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #38761d;"&gt;Natural News is going to call out those who betray organics and sell out to  corporate interests&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
As more journalists and celebrities betray the organic  movement and put their names onto these propaganda articles, &lt;b&gt;Natural News is  going to name them&lt;/b&gt; and call them what they are: TRAITORS to the movement, to  the planet, to honest agriculture and to the American people.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
Remember:  Organic food is simply honest food. It's real food, the way your parents or  grandparents might have grown it. Organic food is grown without pesticides or  other synthetic chemicals, and it represents &lt;b&gt;the only real future to  sustainable food on our planet.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
Even more importantly, organic food  doesn't promote &lt;a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/037786_Roundup_pesticides_Parkinsons.html"&gt;Alzheimer's,  cancer and other diseases like synthetic pesticides do&lt;/a&gt;. For people who wish  to lead healthy lives free from the disease-causing contamination of synthetic  chemicals and &lt;a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/037249_GMO_study_cancer_tumors_organ_damage.html"&gt;cancer-causing  GMOs&lt;/a&gt;, organic food is the best insurance against developing chronic  disease.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
Anyone who attacks organic foods is attacking health,  sustainability and the environment. They betray everything that matters to  informed consumers who want to know what they're eating.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Any person  who attacks organics is a traitor to humanity&lt;/b&gt; and a sellout to the  Monsantos, DuPonts and Bayers of the world. It is a despicable stance to take,  as these companies have been involved in some of the most heinous crimes against  humanity ever recorded in the history of the world. Bayer, for example, saw &lt;a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/036484_Bayer_Nazi_war_crimes.html"&gt;its own  chairperson convicted and sentenced for the company's role in &lt;b&gt;Nazi war  crimes&lt;/b&gt; in World War II&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
This is partly why &lt;a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/037681_Monsanto_DuPont_evil_corporations.html"&gt;Natural  News has announced a &lt;b&gt;lifetime boycott&lt;/b&gt; of the chemical pesticide  companies&lt;/a&gt; who committed outright fraud to defeat the GMO labeling ballot  measure in California.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1 style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #38761d;"&gt;If you don't support organics, you have no credibility in the realm of  health&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
For any person who wishes to retain any credibility whatsoever with  the informed public, there is only once acceptable stance on this issue: The  whole-hearted support of organic and non-GMO agriculture. Anyone who is not  advocating organic farming methods is encouraging the destruction of the  environment. Anyone who is not advocating organic food consumption is  encouraging chronic disease among the population. Anyone who is not fighting for  the full-disclosure labeling of GMOs is selling out humanity to the most evil  corporations in the world -- the biotech giants.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
For a person to have any  credibility whatsoever in the realm of health or food, they must first establish  that they embrace clean, pesticide-free food (organics) and that they support  honest labeling of such foods (GMO labeling). If a person fails on one or both  of these counts, &lt;b&gt;they have zero credibility in the realm of  health.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
You will note, by the way, that Dr. Oz never overtly  advocated GMO labeling. He invited Jeffrey Smith on his show for a few minutes,  then kicked him off the stage to bring on a biotech shill who blatantly lied to  Dr. Oz's audience about GMOs. It was all part of elaborate theater to pretend to  be "balanced" on the issue while actually pushing a collection of corporate lies  about genetically modified foods.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
Dr. Oz is finished as a person with any  credibility among those who are informed. And any other person who puts their  name on a P.R. propaganda piece that attacks organics will suffer a similar  fate: Widespread ridicule followed by a collapse in their support base (and  hence their influence).&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
To announce that you are opposed to organics in  2012 is the moral equivalent of announcing you support Hitler in 1945. The  informed public is far beyond the point where they can be manipulated into  thinking that eating more pesticides and GMOs is somehow patriotic or even  healthy. They're much smarter than that, and any person who attaches their name  to this outrageous P.R. propaganda plot to destroy organics is going to see  their own credibility and reputation destroyed instead.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
Good riddance, I  say. It's time we stopped listening to quack authority doctors who betray  humanity and sell out to corporate interests. &lt;/div&gt;
