I don't ever get a flu shot anymore. I had a couple about 20 years ago and I'm sorry I did. I thought the only problem was the mercury in them but someone mentioned to me that they also have formaldehyde. So I did a search this morning, and sure enough they do. This whole article is really worth a read. Here are two exerpts:

"During the manufacturing process, antibiotics (neomycin, polymyxin B and gentamicin) are added to eliminate stray bacteria found in the mixture. The final solution can contain the following additives in any combination: Triton X-100 (a detergent); polysorbate 80 (a potential carcinogen); gelatin; formaldehyde; and residual egg proteins. In addition, many of the influenza vaccines still contain thimerosal as a preservative. Thimerosal (mercury) is being investigated for its link to brain injury and autoimmune disease."

"Hugh Fudenberg, MD, an immunogeneticist and biologist with nearly 850 papers published in peer review journals, has reported that if an individual had five consecutive flu shots between 1970 and 1980 (the years studied), his/her chances of getting Alzheimer's Disease is ten times higher than if they had zero, one, or two shots.[vii]"

I was watching a major news network yesterday and the resident doctor was answering questions about flu shots. He mentioned the possible link between mercury and autism. He was concerned about it. I was just amazed because you never hear doctors talk about that in public. Usually all you hear is that there's no connection.

Anyway, this is Day 11 of the dilated eyes. Doesn't seem to want to completely go away. So frustrating. But I figure it can't last forever, right?
