thimerosal is a very dangerous form of mercury; I remember watching a video from (now dont quote me here because I may not remember everything right <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
senator Burton. And it showed what thimerosal can do to nerve cells; it basically detroys them. It would be like taking fire to paper. There is a link somewhere of a similar video out there.

anyways; the flu shot is from last season anyways and who wants to be injected with all the chemicals and a virus?

Best way to help protect yourself from the flu is to help build up your immune system.

Mega dosing of Vit C, garlic, echinasea (misspelled I know) are great ways to help protect yourself.
Oh chiropractic works great also. ie take pressure off the nerves to let your body reach its maxium potential.
