Alternatives to the Flu Vaccine with Dr. Mayer Eisenstein, MD According to WebMD, Influenza is a contagious respiratory illness caused by viruses. The flu can cause mild to severe illness and at times lead to death. Although most healthy people recover from the flu without complications, some people, such as the elderly, children and people with chronic health conditions are at risk for serious complications. With the holiday season in full swing, most people already received flu vaccinations, but according to ChicagoHealers.com Practitioner Dr. Mayer Eisenstein, MD, “The vaccine is administered in thousands and thousands of doctors’ offices, work places, drug stores, and grocery stores, with no uniform methodology for reporting accountability or follow up data easily available.” The latest studies published on September 24th, 2007 in the journal Lancet Infectious Diseases revealed that, “Influenza vaccinations don’t reduce flu-related mortality rates in elderly adults in the United States, and prior reports of the vaccine’s efficacy in this population have been exaggerated “ Dr. Eisenstein recommends probiotics as an alternative to the flu vaccine. Probiotics are living microorganisms (bacterial or yeast) which, upon ingestion in certain numbers, exert health benefits beyond basic nutrition. Probiotics help strengthen the immune system and lower the probability of getting the flu. According to WebMD, the following are ways probiotics are positive for the human body when fighting the flu holistically. Bacteria – Taking probiotic supplements, either in capsule, powder, or liquid form, may aid in replacing the lost beneficial bacteria, therefore helping in preventing the flu. Bowel Function – Certain probiotics can restore normal bowel function and help reduce diarrhea which is a side effect of antibiotics, and thus help prevent bowel issues. Avoid Antibiotics – If possible, it is important to avoid taking anti-biotics. The body can build up immunity to certain antibiotics which can destroy healthy bacteria in the body and prevent probiotics from doing their job. |

The Power of CHOICE By Dr. Helen Lee, DC Something that I hear too often is “I had another stressful week! And that’s just how my life is.”
Many people wonder how they’re ever going to create more health while their lives are so stressful. Let’s talk about how physical, chemical, and emotional stressors that the body cannot adapt to can lead to subluxations, or interference in the nervous system. The nervous system is what allows us to live life in the mist of all the stressors. The objective is not to get rid of ALL the stress in our lives, that’s just impossible. It’s to minimize as much stress as possible and make sure that our body is functioning optimally so that it can adapt to the stress quickly. That’s health! You’ve learned which foods may create more stress on your digestive system, which nutrients may add to optimal function of the chemical body, come in for adjustments, drink water, etc. These are all choices that you’re making in your daily life. They are a part of the 6 Essentials of Health that we discuss in our Wellness Workshop. What choices do you have when it comes to a “stressful life”? | |
