I am in exactly the same position as you are. I have never taken the flu shot, and I have often been the only person in my office who didn’t get sick at some point. I do other things to boost my immunity and I am not going to panic yet.

La Lydida, same here, I never get sick, they do. I never have taken a flu shot. I do all kinds of natural things, I started taken NAC a month ago becasue I read so many good things about it, turns out it’s wonderful for the flu !!!

Also, Olive Leaf, Oregano Oil, Colloidal Silver and so on, not constantly, but rotating and changing all the time, and then sometimes nothing at all.

I’m not sure his argument holds water, but this is all anectdotal at this point, his argument does make some sense though ...

We’re not panicking either.

I just wonder ... is this another DISTRACTION?

And if it is, what is D.C. hiding now?

In the bail outs, it was “Universal Health Care”.

Never getting sick is a sign of an abberant immune system.

There was research about twenty years ago regarding the “super immune”. What they found out was that people that never get sick are still getting infected by viruses just like people who feel ill, however, their immune systems weren’t reacting as strongly. It turns out that it is the chemicals released by the immune system that cause the symptoms of a cold or flu, not the virus itself.

The study indicated that there may be an increased risk of cancer in those who never get colds.
