Flu season is here again, and you may be thinking of getting a flu shot. But before you get vaccinated, you may want to consider some natural alternatives that may be both safer and more effective. Vaccinations are often linked to worse health problems than the ones they are designed to prevent. In Japan, vaccinations have caused such reactions as allergies, multiple sclerosis, respiratory disease, leukemia and rheumatoid arthritis. In this country, the flu virus vaccine has been linked to a disease called Guillain-Barre, which can cause paralysis and even death. I believe that a safer way to reduce your chances of suffering from the flu in the coming months, is to naturally improve your immune system, through nutrition, stress reduction and chiropractic. Certain vitamins and minerals can improve your immune system, specifically vitamins A, B6, C and E, as well as Beta-Carotene, copper, zinc and selenium. Such Herb's as Cat's Claw, Golden Seal and Echinacea are also powerful boosters of the immune system. Homeopathy remedies also helps your boost your body's immune system. Stress reduces your ability to resist disease, so look for ways to release it. One of the best ways is to exercise, which increases endorphins that enhances your mood. Exercise also increases resistance to disease. One study showed that women who walk 45 minutes per day have fewer colds than sedentary people. And finally you may want to visit your local chiropractor. Chiropractors work with the spine and nervous system. Which is the communication system of the body. On that system we have life energy and electrical impulses flowing, when they flow without interference excellent health is expected and as a result you feel fantastic physically and mentally. But when there is interference, we have a breakdown or reduction in health, well-being, function or performance. So our goal in chiropractic is to locate those points of interference and remove them. The body will then red-balance and heal itself. Which it has the ability to do, inborn. As long as the interference has been removed.
