If you look around your office, it is apparent that many of your colleagues are at home fighting another round of the flu. I hope that you are keeping healthy and taking extra care in eating healthy, drinking water and sleeping enough to nourish your bodies. It's amazing what naturopathic basics will do for your immune system!

 

This is especially important for the pregnant woman on this list or for those who have wonderfully pregnant women in their lives. It's just a reminder that the safety of the flu vaccine has NOT been proven to be safe for pregnant women and babies.

 

It's frustrating that our government can list thimerosal (the mercury-based preservative found in many vaccines, including the flu vaccine) as a known and proven human teratogen (toxins capable of interfering with the development of a fetus, causing birth defects) yet also recommend that pregnant women receive the flu vaccine. Mercury has detrimental side effects related to the neurological development of babies. For more information, please click here.

 

Please feel free to contact me if you have other questions.

 

Have a healthy and happy day!
