A lot of parents and people are asking themselves should they get vaccinated to avoid getting H1N1 influenza symptoms or should they avoid it all together? There is a lot of talk out there about the additives in the vaccination. If your doctor has recommended you get the vaccination based on a health condition, there are ways to avoid the harmful effects and preservatives.
First consult with your doctor to find out if the vaccination has any of the harmful ingredients. Often times a doctor will have two different kinds of flu shots. The first will be normal less expensive mixture with has a very small amount of preservative. That preservative can contain Mercury which is attributed to a number of debilitating conditions. Almost all preservatives at some point may cause complications as a person ages.
The second kind of flu shot will be those stripped of ingredients that are known to cause complications. These are a little higher priced and are gentler on a person's system.
The second choice is obviously the better of them both, yet there is still another choice that is by far the safest. A person can ask for a prescription for the flu vaccine. This prescription can be taken to a compound pharmacy where the patient has complete control what is put into their body.
Now although a person gets the vaccine, there is no scientific study showing it is effective in stopping the flu or influenza. There is more proof that just eating healthy and taking care of you is enough to stop a virus. Add in supplements and a person can basically shield themselves against the worst of an onset.
There are some studies that have shown eating just organic vegetables can improve a person resistance to flu by 76%. Even if a person gets the flu vaccine, they can raise their protection by adding in healthy choices into their everyday meals and supplementing with vitamin D.
Staying healthy during the flu season is no easy task. If under the care of a doctor for a medical condition always consult your health care provider before changing any health plan. For all others that are contemplating not taking the vaccine, there are healthy choices that can have the same if not better effect on a virus. Most flu and colds enter the body through the nose, throat or gut. Supplements are now available which can shield the body from an invading virus.
