Researchers at the US Mayo Clinic have discovered that children who had had the standard flu jab were three times more likely to need hospital care than those who had not been vaccinated, and that the risk was even higher in children with asthma.

They also found that the vaccine was actually useless at preventing flu!

Herbs as effective as Tamiflu

Not only are the vaccines risky, but one of the other mainstays of orthodox medicine's answer to the flu, Tamiflu (oseltamivir), is no better than the Chinese herbal treatment, Ma Xing Shi Gan-Yin Qiao San, which is made up of 12 herbs.

A recent study has found that this herbal combination brought down a high temperature as effectively as Tamiflu when it was tested on 410 flu patients, and, in fact, the herbal remedy was slightly more effective than Tamiflu.

When given in liquid form, the herbal remedy lowered a high temperature within 16 hours - four hours quicker than Tamiflu. And only 9 per cent of those given the herbal mix needed antibiotics, compared with 16 per cent of those given Tamiflu.
