H1N1 Vaccination – Yes or No?

First of all, we have to understand what’s H1N1? H1N1 is categorized as subtype of influenza A virus. Let’s understand what a virus is. A virus is an entity composed of either RNA or DNA in structure. That is, it is not a cell in nature. The basic structure of a cell is composed of cell membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus. There are plenty of cells inside our body for various body functions and metabolism. A cell is actually a basic unit of our body. A virus is an entity residing inside a cell or cells. A virus enters our body cells when our body immune status is lowered.

The purpose of vaccination is to stimulate our body to produce an antibody specific to the antigen. Therefore, a shot of H1N1 flu vaccination is expecting an antibody specific to H1N1 virus. This is a protection process. The mode of mechanism of natural protection of your body is your immune system. This is your body’s integrity. It is composed of a circulatory system of white blood cells and lymphatic system.

How do you build up your body’s stamina? It goes back to the essentials of being healthy. They are a balance diet, quality sleep or rest, sufficient exercise and a good mood. With all these factors, your body will be replenished and nourished in order to keep your body ready for any disease intrusion. There are several factors that will lower your immune status. The food preparation with additives is an example. The artificial additives usually harass your body immune status. Most of the fast food is added with a number of artificial flavors. The preservatives used for food preparation overload our liver and kidneys in detoxification process. Pesticides used for fruit and vegetable products depress our immune system. Antibiotics and steroid used in poultry feeds are factors in damaging our body cells. As a result, this leads to a number of problems in childhood development and our normal body development. In other words, this obviously leads to the major factors in lowering our immune status.

The basics of introducing our immune status is not just done by a shot. You have to remember that H1N1 Flu shot is specifically for the protection of your body from H1N1 only. Moreover, no one in the health authority can confirm that it totally works. It’s, of course, a choice for whether you go for it or not. I definitely will not go for it. Let me ask you a question. Will you go for the shot if there is a new strain of HnNn (n denotes the specific strain)? In this instance, the vaccination will be a never ending process. It’s not only an expensive process. However, it might not be the long term process of choice.

The choice of the process includes education. We have to educate the healthcare officials in a paradigm shift in the whole healthcare system. They have to study the healthcare system with a holistic prospective. They have to educate patients to protect themselves and take care of their health before they become ill. This will save government funding in building hospitals and training healthcare professionals.

To conclude, we have to take care of our own health before we see a doctor. The doctors only take care of your illnesses but not your health. You, yourself, have to take care of your own health. From the statistics, only 5% of the population is diseased. The rest of them are healthy and expecting to be healthy. Therefore, “Don’t worry, be happy” is the key of being healthy.
