Would someone please explain to me why when I was a child no one got a flu shot and in a class of 42 children, not a one was hospitalized with flu???

And while FReepers are at it: someone explain to me why if you say the word "peanut" at least one person keels over.

LOL. No joke. In my opinion, we're a nation of hypocondriacs, and over use of pharmacudicals actually makes us walking petri dishes! Hell, we're like blobs of mush, ready to be hosts to anything that loves human flesh.

I believe in a strong auto immune system. My kids have been exposed, on purpose, to just about everything. I take them for walks in fields, woods, by ponds, cities, animals, and anything new I see when they're very little.
We haven't needed a doctor since their usual new born visits. The oldest is now 14. We pay $0 a year in pharmacudicles.
(I take them for dental check ups, though. Kids often try to brush too fast.)
