Flu vaccines are made from the flu strain from the year before - so whatever mutation comes along this year, the vaccine will not prevent it. The vaccine always lags a year behind.
We seem to pick and choose the things that bother/frighten us, with regard to health, death, etc. This discussion is somewhat interesting to be present on this forum, considering this forum is totally about tobacco - governments throughout the world are attempting to make smoking in any form a socially unacceptable behavior. Medicial 'information' concludes that our practice of using tobacco will most probably affect our health at some point in our future. Yet, it appears, we don't accept this determination - we are growing, sourcing and smoking tobacco - that heinous plant - so potent that even someone smoking in the same vicinity as us can impact our health. So, why are we smoking? For whatever reason, we find this 'information' unacceptable. It instills no fear in us. Funny, no??
The 'umbrella term' of cancer, by the way, encompasses over 100 diseases. To presume that Essaic, or any other herbal or alternative therapy is a cure all for all of them is a bit of a misnomer. What these alternatives succeeded in doing - when they succeeded, which is normally based on anecdotal information - is rid the body of toxins so that the immune system would re-direct its effort toward cancer cells - sometimes successful, sometimes not. We each have cancer cells in us all the time - while we are healthy, our immune system does its job destroying them. And yes, I am pretty much an advocate of Vitamin C - if you do only ONE thing to strengthen your health, then this is the thing to do. And not just any old drug store Vitamin C, either - it needs to be a good quality product, preferably not in pill form, and combined with minerals so that it can be absorbed.....
