Flu vaccinations shouldn't be forced

This letter is written in response to the recent ruling in the State of New Jersey that mandates flu vaccinations for preschool children.

As a Christian, an American and Certified Natural Health Professional, I am outraged that choice is not an option for families in New Jersey. Once again, our medical system chooses a "one size fits all" without taking into account personal differences (blood type, pH levels, allergies) and toxicity levels.

I find it interesting that you can readily access the ingredients in your toothpaste and cereal box but the ingredients for the flu shot are a mystery? What is in these secret serums?

When we inject into the body we are bypassing the body's natural routes of defense; the injected ingredients cannot be buffered in the digestive tract or filtered by the liver; and injections have the ability to cross the blood brain barrier.

For me and my family, we choose to live healthfully everyday. We ask God for his protection, wash our hands, eat well, drink lots of spring water, get plenty of rest and use supplements to help boost our immune system. Among other things, we use probiotics, aloe vera, vitamin C, vitamin D3, enzymes and Echinacea. Give your body what it needs and it will heal itself.

I am an advocate for empowering people to become the steward of their own health. Arm yourself with information and make an educated decision. For more information on the ingredient listings of many popular vaccinations, visit www.informedchoice.info/cocktail.html
