I've never had a flu shot and never will. I figure there's more down side to having one than up side.

Where do you get it?

Here is their information page:

I don't know if you're ever used homeopathy, but once you become comfortable with it you will be amazed.
Which homeo product are you talking about that you take for 4 weeks (once each week)???
Flu Influenzinum 2005-06 flu season in 9C potency for prevention and treatment
Flu Influenzinum for the 2005-2006 season with the 4 new strains determined by the WHO, World Health Organization
Each tube contains complete prevention treatment for 4 people. 3 pellets per week for 4 weeks, wait 3 weeks and take a final dose. That's it!
For additional protection, take an additional dose if you are directly exposed to someone who is ill.
Note, you can take the 30c instead of the 9c, I prefer the 9 since it is meant to gently stimulate the immune system. The higher the 'c' the more potent the remedy.
I checked out the website, and it looks very interesting. (saved it to my favorites list) Just wondering if you've discussed this with your doctor.
If you don't understand it homeopathy seems very foreign, once you learn to understand it and use it properly it is something you become quite comfortable with. It takes four years to become a homeopath, it isn't a fly-by-night kind of thing... what it does is looks at the whole body and treats according to that rather than one particular symptom... and that explanation is very simplistic. I use it for my dogs and have seem amazing things -- like one of my dogs who has Cushings bit her lip and was hemorrhaging from the cut, a dose of Arnica 200c and ledum 30c and the bleeding stopped.
Another time a dog laid in a bed of red fire ants and literally was trying to chew his legs off from the pain, I administered Apis, Ledum and Bryonia and within minutes he was calm and resting.
When it comes to chronic conditions it is a little more difficult to ascertain -- especially when I am using it on my animals, but one of my dogs was suddenly in pain and when she moved her head she squealed in pain, I gave her hypericum every 15 minutes for several hours and within a day she was fine, no more pain and totally normal... the most dramatic was my youngest dog had a very sudden case of vomiting and diarrhea, everything that touched her mouth came back up and she had a fever, was listless and wanted to lay on our bed under the fan and be left alone. I gave her one dose of Veratrum 200c (put it in the corner of her mouth) and went away. I looked in on her 20 minutes later and she was sitting up, smiling and acting like nothing ever was wrong...
These are all examples of acute situations and how you know within a short time if you gave the correct remedy. Chronic issues are much more difficult and are really best left to a professional homeopath to diagnose and treat... I far prefer to take my dogs to a holistic vet who practices homeopathy than an aliopathic vet...
In my case it's the homeopathic flu vaccine -- or nothing.
Sorry, I know you asked a simple question and I gave a very long-winded answer.
Thanks for the homeopathic flu info.....I'm assuming you can buy it at the Elixir website you mentioned???

Yes, you can. Their site is pretty clear on what you need and if you have any questions you can call, they have a homeopath there who can answer your questions. This is looking like a particularly bad year and people I know who never get sick have already had bouts of fighting off flu, so I would do this as soon as possible.
