Never have never will.

We should know by now flu shots are for the flu from the previous year, they cannot make it for the strain that's coming...total bullshit I say.

I tend to use Echinacea by Vogel before I catch anything,for me that is the best brand sold at the Health food stores. I would not take the stuff in drug stores, that is the crap they test and not receive good results. I first used this for psoriasis which knocked it out of my system, I took it internally and externally. I was once told by a doctor (whom I introduced it to) she went to a function at Sunny brook hospital and found some doctors do use it but cannot inform their patients about it and NO I get nothing for this info from Vogel. Just go into a health store and ask for the best brand see what they give ya.

As we get older our body's resistance gets weaker, the flu kills many elder patients every year. I have been taking the flu shots for the past eight years and it made a difference, before that, the flu would knock me down for at least a week, now ,during the flu season I just get a cold for a day or two. But, don't take the vaccine too early, it is only good for three months, I will be taking mine in early December, because the peak of the flu season is during the Xmas and New Year holidays, that's when people mix and mingle in crowded places.My son was a non believer of the flu shots but one year he got very sick and went to the emergency , the doctors then advised him to have the flu shots, he has been taking it for the past three years, he is a doctor.

My hubby, who has type 2 Diabetes, has been taking it for the last 10+ years and swears by it.

I hardly get the full blown flu.....I would get sinus infection which almost always move to my chest and I get bronchitis (at least once a year), so several years ago, I took the flu shot for two consecutive years and found that it did nothing to keep away the bronchitis, so I haven't taken it for about 5 years now.  knock on wood......no bronchitis for the last two years either!!

I haven't heard anything on that but I walked through the mall today by my place and saw many of ole geezers sitting around waiting for their shot at a,"flu shot fair." Chances are I won't be seeing most of them after the winter, shot or not.

Another thing. Some people get carried away with this flu thing. They get a sniffle and some coughing with runny nose, they say they caught the flu. Most of what I see are people not dressing for the weather. Last Sunday I took my buddy and his son to the arena for hockey practice. When it was over the kids were walking outside with beads of sweat running down their heads without head covering. I gave my buddy heck because his son was one of those kids and should know better. The son always refused to wear head covering and just last year he had developed pneumonia.

It works for some.and does not for others. I am one of those that it works for. I use to get colds and flu alot...the kind that hurts like hell and last for at least couple of weeks. Started taking the flu shots I think about 11 or 12 years now and I don't remember the last time I had the flu. As for the cold.. lucky if it last 3 days. I will not stop taking them and they do not make me sick. In order for it to work you have to be consistent.
