I do not wish to contradict you, or hurt your feelings...., however, I have checked with my internal medicine doctor. I asked him specifically, "Do you recommend that I do, or do not, get the swine flu vaccination when it becomes available?" His answer to me, "wholeheartedly, YES, he wants me to get it as he feels that I would be in the high risk group". Without any argument, or 10 posts about it...., I'm letting you know, I will be getting the swine flu vaccination. I also get the normal flu vac every year. I've had pneumonia before and I also have mild asthma and it is far better for me to take a chance with vaccines, than to risk getting the flu or swine flu and I trust my physician more than I trust some type of natural..., unproven, herbal or chinese, or 'natural' medicine. That's IMHO.

“Thus I have proven it: Doing nothing for hemorrhoids is as effective as any threatment the medical community can offer.
And I can prove this 100% - after all, mine went away.
How can you argue with that?”
The only way you can 100% prove it is with before and after photos. I think I would rather just take your word on it.
"Blue/Green Algae may be the only answer."
I ain't no expert, but I think I'd go the cider vinegar in water route on that one. And get a merkin if you're goin' out in public.
Goofy - R u sure you didn't use Bill's interplanetary source ??
Rocker - the only thing that hurts is that procrit shot.

Be careful with the tree oil - you don't want to inflame that thang!
Don’t give up yet Rocker, my vagina is swelled and it could be HCV related. Blue/Green Algae may be the only answer.
I have been riding all day, I am tired , the Ambian?Xanax is kicking in, so I can’t type this in CAPS but it is all true.
I give up tying to inform you of the dangers of tap water and vaccines and the healing benefits of certain foods and herbs,but at least your now aware of what im saying,i think at least ive helped a few on the site who are smart enuff to see the difference.If you want to inject the vaccines every year and drink the toxic water,making no wonder people are not feeling well...remember .i am only trying to help....sometimes the truth hurts but we have to advoid all the chemicals in our world and eat more naturally.
God Bless you ALL
Nope, no arguments here. But it looks like if you write it in all caps IT MAKES IT MORE TRUE!!!
"But i had no choice with this disease"
There's oregano oil, tee tree oil, distilled water, beet powder, algae, and other whole host of other choices. Doing nothing and hoping for the best is another choice, and I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that would work as well as oregano oil against the flu.
Let's take this logic for a walk around the block:
Like rocker had the Flu, I had hemorrhoids
I never did anything for them, short of suffering and cursing
They went away
Thus I have proven it: Doing nothing for hemorrhoids is as effective as any threatment the medical community can offer.
And I can prove this 100% - after all, mine went away.
How can you argue with that?
"But i had no choice with this disease,it was a TX"
What do you mean, you had no choice? You were forced against your will to sign up for a drug trial with an experimental drug, not knowing what arm you were going to be in and what your results would be?
You absolutely had a choice. You could have done standard treatment with drugs that have already been trialled and are approved for market, as brutal as they may be sometimes. And then you added another drug to the mix that is still experimental.
You CHOSE to do that. Your benefits would have covered most of the cost of the drugs and potentially Trillium Health Plan would have covered some of the balance. Everything else, the testing, the doctor's visits, the biopsy, everything, would have been covered under our universal health care here.
Seems there are reasons people would CHOOSE to take calculated risks, eh?
R Glass / Bill - thanks for the prolonged laugh-out-loud moment. :)
Only for those that haven’t been vaccinated….

“ How about if it came from an interplanetary source like Saturn or Youranus?”
I’m about to take a Bike Ride and that will give me something to ponder while I ride. I already know that I am not taking anything from Myanus or Youranus. Isn’t that how HAV can be transmitted?
How about if it came from an interplanetary source like Saturn or Youranus?
Tamiflu is a cure not a vaccine,like i said TAKE OREGENO OIL FOR ANY FLU...and you will knock it down ,within hours.
“The media would have us believe that the only anti-viral drug in the world is Tamiflu, developed from a herb called Chinese Star Anise”
I am not taking any Herb that came from anyone’s anus. Even if they are a Chinese Star. Some people take their celebrity worship way to serious.
Hi Stacy,
This was originally posted in the HCV community forum; apparently MH felt it was off-topic too, so they moved it here to the social forum later.
I also intend to get a vaccine for flu this year; despite the evil intentions of the manufacturers.
Bill
bill - i think anything that is out there that may be a risk to Hep C folks is pertinent to this forum - besides this is the "social" forum.
rocker - I believe there are 2 types of flu vaccines - live and killed. Actually most vaccines come in two forms - even the rabies vaccine.
But, I can't believe we could even get the flu as long as we are on tx. But, I will get the vaccine as soon as it is available. I had a very bad case of the flu once in my life. Once is enough.
But i had no choice with this disease,it was a TX- BTW, not a vaccine I took.The flu i can beat with oregeno oil,i know this for a fact.Ive used the oil all my life for flus
H1N1 vaccine in trial now. Like other drugs, it must be evaluated. Imagine, someone signing up to be a 'lab rat' in a drug trial. Where are their heads? Remind us again Rocker, what was the treatment you recently completed?
Besides, this has nothing to do with HCV-- ////????
The H1NI Vaccine may affect the way TX drugs and SVR....and this vaccine is not yet been done in any trials yet,anyone who takes this is a lab rat.I was told today by someone in the medical field ,a doctor actually,that over 80% of doctors dont ever get the flu shots,,,why is this??
Yes, Rocker, I really want to "risk my life" if the odds are in my favor and the payoff is that I will not get a horrible disease. What I don't understand is why its such a big problem for you that others choose to vaccinate. Nobody is suggesting that you do so against your will. How about if we live and let live?

Process your thoughts prior to posting please.

The smallpox vaccine is an ‘attenuated, or live vaccine; without it, the disease would probably continue to run rampant. This so called “dangerous” method of providing immunity has completely eradicated this terrible virus this century.
Open the link and look at the picture of the little girl in the right hand margin; do you still think live vaccine is such a bad deal, Rockerforlife?

I don’t get you or your logic. Besides, this has nothing to do with HCV--
