I think most people that say they had a flu injection but still got the flu, didn't really get the flu.
The "flu" is one of those terms that gets used for pretty much any sickness people get that has a runny nose of cough as a symptom.
Both my Mum and dad and my father in law have both told me they are angry because they got sick even though they had a flu injection, but I don't even think they had the influenza virus.

Hard to tell the difference, since a normal cold and the flu have similar symptoms.
Also it's possible that they did pick up the "flu" or a cold at the doctors office when they got the shots, the flu shots take about a week to give protection.

Common cold = runny nose, cough etc.
Flu = painful joints and lying flat on your back for a week.
Zero chance you're going to work, school or wherever if you've actually got flu. You'll be lying in bed the whole time or in my case I found lying on the floor was actually more comfortable. Gets boring after a few days of that.
I have forgotten what all that is like now as it has been 3 years.
I haven't had flu, or even a cold for about 4 years. The only times I have got them is when I visited Melbourne or Sydney.
As I'm retired and live in a rural area I don't come into contact with a lot of people. That obviously helps avoid transmission.
Fingers crossed that I haven't jinxed myself.

IMHO, I believe the flu is an extension of a cold to a chest infection......Both normally start off with a sore throat, the cold breaks and then can develop further to the chest.
That level teaspoon of cinnamon every day is the answer and more reliable than flu injections.
For those who suffer a sore throat I recommend a mug full of grape fruit juice, 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper and 1/2 bush honey......Gargle with the mixture every hour on the hour for 6 hours....do not swallow the mixture....Sore throat should be gone in 6 hours.

Sounds OK but when travelling it is rather difficult, when I am out and about I take with me a small spritzer bottle with professionally made colloidal silver water in it.
Lots of contact with many different people can lead to all sorts of bugs being in the air, if my throat feels a bit rough I simply open my yap and spray inside it and down my throat a few times. A mouthful of water to wash it down and I have really noticed how rarely I get the tour bus bug.
I also found that my grandkids are very keen to share the latest bug doing the rounds at their school so after a visit I give myself a few squirts and I no longer get the latest gastro bug from my grandkids
Enthusiasts of colloidal silver believe the metal's antibacterial properties will keep them from getting sick. There's no proof it works, but there is proof that taking too much can leave people permanently blue.
To find out how that happens, Hurt's team added silver to chemical mixtures to mimic the conditions in the human stomach and intestines, and also created a mock-up of human skin tissue.
The team found that stomach acid strips silver atoms of one electron (electrons have a negative charge), making a positively charged silver ion, or salt. The silver ion then seeps into the bloodstream through channels normally only used by other salts. From the bloodstream, the salts wind up in the skin.
When light hits the skin, electrons from the surrounding area immediately bond to the silver ions, turning them back into silver atoms. The chemical conversion results in darker particles, and the skin turns blue. The same chemical reaction is used to develop black-and-white prints.
Yep, it works real well I reckon macca. Might be the only way to combat the so-called "super bugs" going forward.
When my then infant daughter was a burns victim (she fell hands first into the dying embers of an o/night camp fire), her burns were treated with a silver salve, Silvadene I think it was called, and I wondered back then of the healing properties of silver.
Interestingly, the term "blue blood" stems from the days of yore when the aristocracy ate and drank from silverware, too much silver in the body can turn the skin blue. I'm lead to believe they were less prone to sickness as well.
Smurfs? Why the skin turns blue.
Toxicity: How much silver is too much?
Having used colloidal silver and will do so again if the need arises. E.g. When I was a dog owner, everytime I changed the dog's drinking water, I'd place a teaspoon or two into the dog's water containers to stop algae/mould forming. As soon as I stopped using the colloidal silver, algae/mould would start forming within a few weeks.
Using a small mouthful as a mouth wash, I've had great results.
As a side note re. colloidals, among other things colloidal gold can be used for tumor detection and gene therapy.
Bright moon the other night and so I stepped outside. Looked up and see a new bright "star" that weren't there before so thought cool... will check it out soon... then can't be asked. It'll still be there next time right?
