I have a scientific mind and it drives me mad if I cannot figure out why things are as they are lol... I have to know... in other words I am an insufferable know-it-all lol. I am currently being fascinated and repelled by teratomas, which are basically tumours in the body that grow body structures such as teeth, hair or even eyeballs, it is strange lol xx
Gross! LOL
I checked out Sunflower's link to Dr. Mercola's site (thanks for the reference, I'm always interested in new research), However, I'm not sure I'd let his article cause me concern. Dr. Mercola is not an expert in immunology, and the only scholarly article he referenced was of a study of children with Cystic Fibrosis - and their conclusion was that their findings might not be applicable to the general population, or that the watered-down shot given may not have been enough to cause a natural immune reaction.
Personally, I plan to take my Rheumatologist's advice and get the double-strong flu shot that's generally reserved for those over 65 or with immune system problems. I'm hoping it'll be a light flu season and neither the shot nor the flu will get me flaring.
Hoping everyone's flu season skips them and theirs...
