I have never had a flu shot. I prefer to let my immune system get all the exercise it needs to keep me healthy.

I have not had the flu in over 25 years. I used to get it each year in my early twenties. Since I was directed to a high nutrition supplement regimen about 25 years ago, I rarely get even a cold.

I read a study last year that showed that the elderly who have routine flu shots of five or more years in a row have double the rate of Alzheimer's Disease.

Flu shots are designed to stress the immune system. Live but weakened virus flu shots are less of a problem. Dead virus flu shots can cause more problems.

If anybody is interested, I will post more later.
