H1N1 vaccine for thyroid patients

[TamraW]

Hi, all, many of you know me as a recently diagnosed (August '09) Hashimoto's patient. My levels are almost where they need to be. I have actually not gotten as sick this fall as I have in the previous years, but I do realize that my immunity is still lower than someone without auto-immune disease.

My doctor's office has just announced they have the Swine Flu vaccine. I am supposed to get a shot for myself and my small child tomorrow, but I'm having second thoughts.

I have read a lot of negatives about the H1N1 vaccine, even some really wild conspiracy theories about the government trying to keep population down by putting  poison in the vaccine.

What do you all feel about it?

If you decide to get ANY immunization, be sure they put it in the muscle.  Two years ago I had a regular flu shot.  The lame brain nurse put it too close to my shoulder joint and I got the bonus of a frozen shoulder!  I would not wish that on my worst enemy!

Thank you all. This is some very valuable advice. I must share some with you now. I tried Jernigan's Yeast Ease for my mouth thrush that just wouldn't go away for almost two years, despite every yeast med the docs gave me.

Yeast Ease worked within a few hours. So then I got their Microbojen, which is supposed to fight viruses. I used it one day when I felt a cold coming on. I was very sick for about two hours, then it went away. Could have been the Microbojen, or it could have been a fluke and my Hashi antibodies were playing a trick on me. Ha! Ha!

I don't want to get the shot, or get it for my little one. I am leaning toward natural remedies.

It's even harder when trying to keep the little ones from bringing home germs, but, I always tell my daughter to wash her hands constantly and use hand sanitizer as well
I must tell u that the last time i was in the doc's office with her, I watched how this one parent read one of the books to her child as she licked her finger to turn the pages......and i saw on "The Doctors" how that is one way to pass germs to others. Scary but true.

I have three kids and we never get the flu or the flu shot! I would not take any chances with the swine flu shot either! I think its more propaganda used to get more $$$$ for the monopoly holding manufacturers (Big pharma) I turn off the news or change the channels when they peddle their "bill of goods/snake oil" by commercials or through the mindless media who like to keep us in a state of panic! (Political Pawns) I don't trust any of them!!!! You can give your kids homeopathic flu tablets. They are made specific each year to the current flu strains. We get them from our pediatrician's office. You take 5 tiny tablets each week for 5 weeks. You then skip a week and take 5 more for the next few weeks. Very safe and they have worked for us! Also, lots of vitamin D and C!

Here's a good video from Dr. Horowitz about the flu vaccine and other vaccines. He even suggests auto-immune disease could be caused by vaccines. I'd be pretty pissed to learn that my Hashi was caused by childhood vaccines.

Please tell me the name of your pills. I want to see if I can get them online.
