See book keywords and concepts |  Health care workers are often encouraged to take the flu vaccine on the theory that they are exposed to a lot of sick people and run a higher risk. I see plenty of sick people, but I've never gotten the shot, and I get the flu about once every three years. For a normally healthy person, I think this is a perfectly normal pattern and probably better for you in the long run.
It's worth remembering that optimal immunity does not mean never getting sick. It means getting sick and responding in a supple fashion, without long, lingering consequences. |

See book keywords and concepts |  For example, flu vaccine has been reported to interact with Coumadin in some patients, and monitoring of prothrombin time is advised. In such a situation, make sure the prescribing physician knows all other medications you are taking.
As you can now tell, evaluating complex combinations is like focusing on a moving target. You never know where it will be next. What was "true" last year may no longer be true this year. Goodness knows what the experts will declare next year. We estimate that more than 20,000 interactions are mentioned in the medical literature. |
Bob LeBow, M.D., M.P.H.
See book keywords and concepts |  For example, the universal administration of flu vaccine in the workplace has been shown to not be cost-effective. A failing of these cost/benefit studies, however, is that they usually do not factor in quality-of-life considerations. What is a week of good health without the flu worth?
A February 2002 study from the National Bureau of Economic Research by Yale economist William D. Nordhaus, however, suggested "the social productivity of health care spending might be many times that of other spending."3 Maybe 17 percent of the GDP isn't too much. |
J. E. Williams, O.M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Exercise good judgment when considering use of the flu vaccine, and use antiviral drugs only as the medication of last resort. Prepare for seasonal illnesses and a possible flu pandemic by using natural remedies, especially Chinese medicine, to shorten its duration and intensity.
Warts
Human papilloma viruses (HPV) belong to the Papovaviridae family and cause common warts, plantar warts, and genital warts. There are over 80 known different types of HPV, and though most are benign, some types can develop into cancer. |
James A. Howenstine, MD
See book keywords and concepts |  The swine flu vaccine was administered to the American public even though there had never been a case of swine flu identified in a human. Within a few months of use of this vaccine, many cases of nerve injury began to become reported. Claims amounting to $1.3 billion were filed for injury from the vaccine.
In 1986 150 lawsuits were filed against the manufacturers of DPT (Diphtheria, Pertussis, Tetanus) vaccine seeking 1.5 billion in damages. |
the Editors of PREVENTION
See book keywords and concepts |  Another thing that colds and flu have in common is that both lack cures, although there is a flu vaccine, plus antiviral agents such as rimantadine that can help lessen the impact and shorten the course of some types of flu. Once you have the flu, however, conventional medicine is usually helpless to do much more than minimize bothersome symptoms.
On the other hand, herbal remedies such as the following—along with rest and vitamins—can assist your body's natural healing processes and leave your immune system in better condition for the next time the flu starts "going around. |
Peggy O'Mara
See book keywords and concepts |  I was in Berkeley at the School of Public Health studying for a master's degree, and all of our classes emphasized the importance of the swine flu vaccine. When it became apparent that the vaccine was not only a total failure but was also a health hazard and killer, there was a great deal of embarrassment among the vaccine proponents on the faculty.
My interest in immunizations has continued since then, and I have researched the issue in numerous medical journals. |
Gina Kolata
See book keywords and concepts |  Meyer from the Food and Drug Administration said that his agency would send the special strains of flu to manufacturers as soon as they were ready so that the companies could prepare to make a swine flu vaccine.
Finally, they knew they had to do scientific studies to see whether the swine flu virus was spreading within and beyond Fort Dix and, if so, how far and how fast it was moving. |
