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:

<strong>1.) </strong>There is a total lack of real evidence that young children even benefit from flu shots.&#160; A systematic review of 51 studies involving 260,000 children age 6 to 23 months found <strong>no evidence</strong> that the <strong>flu vaccine</strong> is any more <strong>effective</strong> 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.

<strong>2.)</strong> Medical journals have published thousands of articles revealing that injecting <strong>vaccines can actually lead to serious health problems</strong> 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.

<strong>3.) </strong>Ever noticed how vaccinated children within days or few weeks develop <strong>runny noses, pneumonia, ear infections and bronchiolitis</strong>? The reason is the flu virus introduced in their bodies which creates these symptoms. It also indicates immuno-suppression i.e. <strong>lowering of the immunity.</strong> The flu vaccines actually do not immunize but sensitize the body against the virus.

<strong>4.)</strong> 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 <strong>make you more susceptible to pneumonia and other contagious diseases.</strong>

<strong>5.) The Flu vaccines contain mercury</strong>, 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<strong> can cause memory loss, depression, ADD, oral health problems, digestive imbalances, respiratory problems, cardiovascular diseases</strong> and many more such serious health ailments.

And what about the elderly? Can the flu vaccine help them?

<strong>6.)</strong> There is mounting evidence that <strong>flu shots can cause Alzheimer's disease</strong>.&#160; 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. &#160;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.

Can we trust the authorities who are promoting the wide-spread use of flu vaccines?

<strong>7.) </strong>The Center for Disease Control appoints a 15-member Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).&#160; This committee is responsible for deciding who should be vaccinated each year.&#160; Almost all the <strong>ACIP have a financial interest in immunizations.</strong> It's all about the money and may have very little to do with your health and well being.&#160; The very people pushing these vaccines stand to make billions of dollars.&#160; This itself creates a doubt on how effective these flu vaccines really are?

<strong>8.)</strong> Research shows that <strong>over-use of the flu-vaccine</strong> and drugs like Tamiflu and Relenza <strong>can actually alter flu viruses and cause them to mutate into a more deadly strain</strong>.&#160; Couple this with drug resistant strains and you have virtually no benefits with much risk.

<strong>9.)</strong> There is enough evidence that shows that the <strong>ingredients present in the flu vaccinations can actually cause serious neurological disorders</strong>. In the 1976 swine flu outbreak, 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?

<strong>10.)</strong> Trying to guess what strain to vaccinate against each season has proved to be no more effective than a guessing game.&#160; This has been very true in recent years with the H1N1 strain. Moreover <strong>getting multi-shots</strong> will only prove <strong>more dangerous</strong> as different strains of viruses and harmful ingredients are introduced into your body.

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 main stream public health officials never promote the various proven ways to avoid the flu other than through vaccination?&#160; 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.

<strong>Right now he is actually giving it away...</strong> you can also buy it on Amazon, but if you grab one of the <strong>COMPLIMENTARY</strong> copies from his website he is going to <strong>donate $1 to Habitat for Humanity or Kiva.org - you even get to choose the charity!</strong>

<a href="http://www.losethebackpain.com/aff/index.php?w=7DayCure&amp;p=laroz&amp;a=9611"><span style="color: #f26422;"><strong>Click here to grab a FREE copy </strong></span></a>

Now, I've known Jesse for a long time and he is known as the<strong> "back pain relief guy"</strong> because he's helped so many people to finally get rid of their pain... and over the years, I personally have learned a lot from him...

But his new book is <strong>incredible</strong>... in it he puts together all of the pieces... see, most people when they have back pain usually get treatments that only mask the pain... and even then, the treatments only address the physical symptoms...

When you crack open your <strong>complimentary</strong> copy you will discover:
<ul>

<strong>Right now he is actually giving it away...</strong> you can also buy it on Amazon, but if you grab one of the <strong>COMPLIMENTARY</strong> copies from his website he is going to <strong>donate $1 to Habitat for Humanity or Kiva.org - you even get to choose the charity!</strong>

<a href="http://www.losethebackpain.com/aff/index.php?w=7DayCure&amp;p=laroz&amp;a=9611"><span style="color: #f26422;"><strong>Click here to grab a FREE copy </strong></span></a>

Now, I've known Jesse for a long time and he is known as the<strong> "back pain relief guy"</strong> because he's helped so many people to finally get rid of their pain... and over the years, I personally have learned a lot from him...

But his new book is <strong>incredible</strong>... in it he puts together all of the pieces... see, most people when they have back pain usually get treatments that only mask the pain... and even then, the treatments only address the physical symptoms...

When you crack open your <strong>complimentary</strong> copy you will discover:
<ul>
	<li><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">Why <strong>traditional treatments always FAIL</strong> to deliver lasting relief</span></span></li>

By: Dr. Al Sears, M.D.

The many health benefits of taking Coenzyme Q10 have been established - increased energy, improved metabolism, weight loss, cell protection, and better cardiovascular health - are already well established.

In fact, research shows CoQ10 may <strong>promote neurological health</strong> as well.

Yet many patients I talk to in my practice tell me they don't feel any different after they start taking CoQ10.

When they show me the bottle, I immediately know why.

As it happens, most of the CoQ10 they are taking <strong>never makes it to their cells</strong> where it can do the most good.

In fact, most people over 50 have a hard time converting CoQ10 into its usable form. The lion's share of the valuable CoQ10 enzyme <strong>disappears</strong> - making it impossible to give your cells the protection and nourishment they need.

Fortunately, I've found a simple way to solve this problem forever ... make sure you maintain healthy levels of CoQ10 in your cells all year long ... and enjoy the increased energy, vitality, and health that CoQ10 can deliver when it actually gets absorbed into your bloodstream and delivered to your cells!

and <strong>better</strong> than the ordinary kind.

by Frank Shallenberger, MD

If you've ever known anyone with Alzheimer's disease, you know how heart-breaking it can be. Not only does it destroy a person's mental abilities and dignity ... but it wipes out the person's very personality, leaving behind a mere shell of a human being. The body is there for you to see, but the person you know and love no longer exists.

That's exactly what happened to my colleague Dr. Mary Newport and her husband Steve. As Mary describes it, "I was watching my husband of 36 years fade away."

Things didn't start out that way, of course. For most of Steve's life, he was known for his <strong>quick wit</strong> and <strong>sharp mind</strong>. He could do complicated math in his head ... take apart computers and repair them ... fix practically anything else without instruction. If he didn't have a tool to do something he would "invent" one and make a usable prototype. He was also a voracious reader. And he loved kayaking, cooking, landscaping, and caring for his two daughters.

Indeed, on the day the couples' first daughter was born, Steve left his corporate job as an accountant so he could work from home. He took over as manager of Mary's medical practice, handing all the accounting and administrative tasks. The practice grew by leaps and bounds.

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>Tragedy Strikes</strong></span>

But then Steve's memory started failing him. At first, it was little things, like misplacing his keys and forgetting appointments. But then the lapses became more serious. He started making errors with the accounting and payroll. Forgetting whether had had made the bank deposits. Missing tax deadlines.

A psychiatrist diagnosed him as having depression, and put him on antidepressant drugs and psychological counseling. But of course, that didn't help. Steve's memory continued to get worse. He started getting lost while trying to drive home. He couldn't even remember how to turn on the car's windshield wiper.

By now it was clear that Steve had dementia. Mary wrote in her journal: "It has been a nightmare to watch his decline. Every night, we hold each other before we go to sleep and I wonder how many more times we will get to do this."

Mary took Steve to a neurologist, who put him on the drugs Aricept, Namenda, and Exelon. But still, Steve continued to worsen. He'd spend his days walking around the house confused, wearing only one shoe. He couldn't remember how to use a spoon or how to get water out of the refrigerator. At a family reunion, he no longer recognized close relatives. He even forgot that he had fathered his oldest daughter.

Mary did everything she could for Steve. She cooked for him, gave him his medications, helped him get dressed.

She also tried to enroll him in studies on new experimental drugs. But Steve scored so low on the mental exam that he didn't qualify for the studies.

When Steve took the Mini Mental Status Exam (MMSR), he scored a 14 out of 30, which indicates severe dementia. And when he took a test where he was asked to draw a clock from memory, this is what he drew:

<img class="size-full wp-image-6922 aligncenter" title="cell" src="http://www.bewellbuzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/cell.jpg" alt="" width="249" height="207" />
<p style="text-align: left;">And that's not all. When Steve took a genetic test for Alzheimer's, he tested positive for the leading Alzheimer's gene. And when he had an MRI of his brain, the MRI found a shrinking of the hippocampus and damage to his frontal and parietal lobes.</p>
Still, there were <strong>brief moments</strong> when the old Steve would make a brief appearance. Sometimes he'd be able to hold a coherent conversation. Sometimes, he would even say something clever or crack a joke. One day, Mary asked if a certain phone call came and he said "no." Two days later, he remembered the call and what the caller said.

In Mary's words, it was "Strange to have no short-term memory and yet the information was filed somewhere in his brain. I knew he was locked up in there somewhere, if only there was a key to open up the areas of his brain that he didn't have access to."

<strong>Little did Mary know that she would soon find that very key.</strong>

A  deficiency in copper can lead to osteoporosis, joint pain, lowered  immunity, and since copper is essential for the absorption of iron, anemia. Conversely, over-consumption  of copper will lead to cramps, diarrhea, and vomiting in the short term,  and can lead to depression, schizophrenia, hypertension, senility, and  insomnia in the long term. The stomach needs to be acidic in order to  absorb copper and thus antacids interfere with the absorption of copper,  as do milk and egg proteins. The current RDA for copper is 2mg. Below  is a list of high copper foods.

<strong>Pumpkin Seeds</strong>
Pumpkin seeds contain 3.1 mg of copper per cup or 156% of the RDA.

<strong>Oysters</strong>
Six medium oysters contain 2.4 mg per cup or 120% of the RDA.

<strong>Sunflower seeds</strong>
Sunflower seeds contains 2.3 mg per cup or 115% of the RDA

<strong>Sesame Seeds </strong>
Sesame seeds contain 1.9 mg per cup or 95% of the RDA.

<strong>Walnuts </strong>
Walnuts contains 1.9 mg per cup or 93% of the RDA.

<strong>Soybeans</strong>

There are many rare diseases about which not much is known because they occur in so few people, and so, they have not been researched adequately.

By definition, rare diseases are those that affect fewer than 200,000 people in the US. Some of these might affect thousands of people and yet others might affect not even ten people. Nevertheless, a disease is still a disease and comes with its own set of problems. What makes rare diseases problematic is the limiting amount of research done on them and the fact that the ways to control them are equally few.

Here's a look at 20 diseases that are considered rare by the National Institute of Health:
<ul>
	<li><strong>Gigantism </strong>- As the name suggests, sufferers of this disease grow inveterately tall and heavy. This is because there is a benign tumor in the pituitary gland that causes more secretion of the growth hormone than is required. As a result, these people also have larger organs that could cause numerous problems such as profuse sweating and breast milk secretion.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
	<li><strong>Pica</strong> - Typically found in young children and some pregnant women, pica is classified as a rare disease which causes people to eat things like paper, clay, paint, and even dirt.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
	<li><strong>MSUD</strong> - MSUD or Maple Syrup Urine Disease is an inherited disease and occurs when there is accumulation of amino acids in the body because the body cannot break them down. The symptoms of this disease can start in infancy and cause various problems such as seizures, delays in development, and vomiting. The name is derived from the smell of the urine, which smells strangely like maple syrup.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
	<li><strong>Situs Inversus</strong> - Can you imagine how it would be if your heart was not on the left but on the right side of your body? It's not science fiction or a scene from a B grade film, but fact. People suffering from this condition have the internal organs of their chest and stomach lying in the mirror positions of where they originally should be. People with Situs Inversus should wear some sort of identification to prevent doctors from making mistakes during emergencies.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
	<li><strong>Trigger Thumb</strong> - Just imagine how frustrating it can get if your thumb or finger got locked down in one position! People who have this disorder find that their thumbs or fingers get stuck in the locked position which can then straighten with a painful snap or even remain stuck.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
	<li><strong>Scurvy</strong> - In the olden days, sailors used to suffer from scurvy because they had vitamin C deficiency. Scurvy exists even today in the US, with mostly malnourished adults facing problems such as bleeding gums, gum disease, skin lesions and swollen joints resulting from the condition.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
	<li><strong>Wilson's Disease</strong> - Wilson's disease is a genetic disorder where people store excess copper in their tissues, even those such as the brain and the liver. Although the body requires some amount of copper, an excess of the same can cause liver failure and other problems as well.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
	<li><strong>Foreign Accent Syndrome</strong> - The joke in many a sitcom is now officially a disease. People who switch accents are not doing it for fun as in the sitcoms, however. These people suffer from Foreign Accent Syndrome, where brain trauma or multiple sclerosis can cause people to change their accent. The causes are still unknown.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
	<li><strong>Stiff Person Syndrome</strong> - As suggested by the name, people suffering from this neurological disorder face stiffness in muscles and rigidity, as well as painful muscle spasms.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
	<li><strong>Carcinoid Syndrome</strong> - Ever thought that blushing was cute? Not for those who have Carcinoid Syndrome. Carcinoid tumors which cause secretion of excess serotonin result in wheezing, hotness, and constant facial blushing.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
	<li><strong>Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome</strong> - People suffering from CVS face severe episodes of vomiting that can go on for days and then disappear without a trace for some time.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
	<li><strong>Peeling Skin Syndrome</strong> - Those suffering from this disease find that the skin of their hands and feet or even other parts of their body are constantly peeling away. There is also itching and redness in the skin due to this disease.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
	<li><strong>Platelet Storage Pool Deficiency</strong> - There are many platelet abnormalities out there, and this is the term usually used to describe them. This disease causes nose bleeds, excessive bleeding during surgery, and bruising as well.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
	<li><strong>ACDC</strong> - This is an extremely rare disease, so rare that only nine people in the US are known to have this disease. ACDC stands for Arterial Calcification due to CD73 Deficiency, which causes calcium to accumulate in the joints of the hands and feet and in the arteries below the waist.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
	<li><strong>Conversion Disorder</strong> - Sometimes after an extremely traumatic event, people are unable to see or move. This sudden blindness or paralysis is termed Conversion Disorder.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
	<li><strong>Ochronosis </strong>- External tissues in the ear cartilage or eye turn blue or black, and it can even occur throughout the body. Over time, these areas can completely degenerate.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
	<li><strong>Hairy tongue </strong>- Excess growth of bacteria on the tongue can make the tongue look like it has got a black, hairy texture. This is harmless and can be treated with antibiotics.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
	<li><strong>Ochoa Syndrome </strong>- Infants suffering from this disease are usually trying to smile but instead, their face looks like they are grimacing. These people also have a urinary abnormality which causes incontinence. This can later on develop into renal failure, which can become fatal.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
	<li><strong>Eagle Syndrome</strong> - Something stuck in your throat? It could be a calcified ligament or elongated bone which also causes ear and throat pain and difficulty in swallowing.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
	<li><strong>Progeria</strong> - Another rare disease wherein children are born normal but begin to develop wrinkles and hair loss like old people when they are just a year old.</li>
</ul>
