Yup! Did it again. I opened the can. As a natural health care provider, I work in a health care industry with a drastically different point of view. What, sugar is bad for youi? Grains too? What about vaccines? Flouride in the water is bad? But the commercial on TV says it's good for me....
Yeah right.
Yeah right.
I am asked questions everyday that challenge me to either open a can of worms or be quiet. A patient of mine just told me they were going to get the flu shot at the local pharmacy, especially because it was free.
They asked me what I thought. So I grabbed the worm can and opened it: "If it was me, I would not get the flu shot. Studies have shown that they are not that effective and, in fact, carry potential risks. I strongly recommend against them." The patient looked at me with dismay and asked what he should do. I said, "The best flu defense is the proper function of your own God given immune system. The simplest way to do that is by optimizing your vitamin D intake. In addition, limit your grain and sugar intake. A sure fire way to boost immune function is to exercise regularly and get enough sleep. Yeah, I know. It sounds too simple and is not as glamorous as some drug or vaccine. But it is safe and effective. You asked. Your choice."
