Be sure to get the vaccine without the mercury containing preservative thimerasol - mercury is not good for anyone, but is especially bad for people with immune disorders like MG. Research and you will see for yourself.

There is more mercury in a can of tuna than there is in the flu shot. The only flu shot to be avoided by people with immune disorders is the inhaled version which contains some live virus. The injected version contains only dead virus.

I am too upset by this thread, which is why I haven't responded much. I can't keep quiet anymore.

Both mercury and squalene are in the H1N1 vaccine. If you are scientifically minded and read even a small bit of info on the Gulf War Syndrome or any other science articles on vaccines and these ingredients, you will be alarmed. Most biochemists, the ones NOT working for drug companies, would tell you the havoc this stuff wreaks on the mitochondria of each cell in the body (Kreb's cycle, etc.). The chemical reactions within the Kreb's cycle are fascinating and complicated and can be thrown off by certain drugs/ingredients. Even additives, like MSG, can interrupt that cycle.

These vaccines "super charge" your immune systems to produce antibodies to these viruses. If you are genetically predisposed to autoimmune diseases (like many Northern Europeans are, and people of other backgrounds), you have an increased risk of getting an autoimmune disease. Or another one.

Our immune systems can usually fend off a virus or bacteria. If they are "weakened or overreacting or thinking our bodies are the target," in the case of those with MG or other autoimmune diseases, then a vaccine MAY help. It is a double-edge sword, however, because it might get your immune system making even more MG antibodies as well.

The statistics from the CDC are interesting on the H1N1 flu. More children are getting the flu, however, more adults are dying from it. The reason? Parents bring their children in right away for the Tamiflu!!! Adults don't go to the doctor as quickly. They found that in Mexico, due to a lack of Tamiflu, more people were dying. So early intervention may be more important than the actual vaccine.

Deciding upon whether to have a vaccine or not is up to each of you and your doctor. It's a complicated issue. I am not going to tell anyone what they should or shouldn't do. Not my place.

Read up on the information. Talk about it. Decide for yourself.

Brian, I wouldn't eat tuna from a can either. I personally think it's dangerous to think the chemicals or metals in our food or vaccines or drugs are benign.

And if you think our government or drug companies or even the CDC (which is a government agency) wouldn't lie to you, think again.
