Flu Shot...don't be scared into getting one!

Have you done your homework on flu shots?

Cold and Flu Season…  Flu shot?

This is the time of year when the weather starts to change and the “signs” go up for “Get your flu shot!” 

Have you ever done your homework and asked yourself, “what is in a flu shot?“ 

If you are like me and many others, the answer is probably no.  Nobody wants to get sick and if you have ever had the flu, you NEVER want it again!  Rightly so!  The question then is what do you do?  Do you think of options?  Do you automatically go the medical route or do you think alternatives?  Which is better?
Most people are SCARED and FEARFUL of getting the flu!  What does fear do?  It causes you to panic and feel the need to “fix” the problem and quick!  So, what ends up happening?  People frantically RUN to Publix, Walmart, Walgreens, the pediatrician or family physician’s office and roll up their sleeve and “get a flu shot!”  They get your $20+ bucks, you walk away with a sore arm and sometimes even get a cold or flu from the flu shot.  (that is interesting!  The very thing you were wanting to avoid was the flu and the flu shot can actually give you flu like symptoms…)

I am not here to tell you what to do, but I do want to educate and inform you of what the flu shot is made of.  I had no idea and am glad to be informed as to what goes into a person’s body via the flu shot.  My desire is to see you healthy and whole:  physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally.  That process will be different for every person!  We are all on a journey! Your life is your life, and you get to choose how you want to live it! 

I am not sure where you stand on this and the point of my letter is to inform and nothing more.  If this video caused you to not want to have a flu shot this season, but you are worried about getting the flu, I am here to share with you there is still good news!  There are all natural alternatives to prevent the flu!  Remedies to bombard those germs!  A product that I would recommend for colds/flu is Thieves Essential Oil.

Say NO to flu shots, say YES to Thieves!

First and foremost, staying well at school or work can be tricky with exposure to surfaces and airborne bacteria. The single most important thing we can do, and teach our children is the value of washing our hands. Hand washing not only can prevent colds and flu but can also help prevent the spreading of these germs. Most products on the market either contain toxic and unwanted chemicals or they are very harsh on the skin.  Alternative choice?  Thieves!  
Young Living’s Thieves oil blend includes clove, cinnamon bark, rosemary, lemon, and Eucalyptus radiata and has been specially blended to offer the same kind of defense. Thieves has been university tested and found to be highly effective against airborne bacteria. Thieves is an all natural, alternative choice to colds and flu!  Say no to flu shots and yes to Thieves!

Here is a testimony from my friend Katie (the person who introduced me to Young Living).

I have a praise! We have been surrounded by people with the flu. Last week my hubby and I felt a little queasy a couple days....nothing big, just a little tired and queasy...not all the time, just in spurts. Loaded up on NingXia Red and Thieves,(along with the normal use of our daily oils) and we feel great! No more queasiness!

The kids must have started to get sick, too....they were grumpy for a day, and started to get runny noses. Rubbed them down with Thieves and Purification, had them drink NingXia, and the "symptoms" were gone in a day! Thank-you Lord!:)
