16 Anti-Germovations
Other Ways to Avoid Seasonal Sicknesses Other than the Flu Vaccine:
Meghan Young — Nov 2, 2009 — Lifestyle
I’m not one to take medication or vaccines to avoid or get over the flu. Instead, I use the power of my body to naturally overcome such sicknesses. I understand the ‘merit’ and ‘rationale’ behind such vaccinations, but honestly, we’re already equipped with what we need to overcome the common cold. There are also more organic ways to go about protecting yourself. Most importantly, avoiding those germs. Here are some anti-germovations that could make the flu vaccine obsolete.
