I do agree that many people rely far too heavily on drugs and vaccines to solve their problems and that they need to take responsibility for their own health.
However, what is Ellen’s solution to the problems of childhood diseases such as measles, mumps and rubella which can be fatal and very contagious?
When the rates of vaccination for these conditions fell because of the fear of autism, the incidence of cases started to rise.

There have been no double blind placebo controlled trials of vaccination in influenza (it is approved based off the surrogate marker of antibody response to the injection – but no evidence that it does in fact prevent disease). Conversely there are at least three population studies, two in the US and one in Italy that found that influenza death and hospitalization rates either did not decline or in fact increased after mass vaccination was instituted. So to sum it up, in the medical literature there is no direct evidence that flu vaccination works the only evidence available says it does not. And this is seasonal influenza we are talking here not the recent swine flu. The recommendation to vaccinate children for flu was made only as recently as 2007 or 2008 as I recall, they were never vaccinated because healthy children almost never die of flu. This change in vaccine recommendations came quickly on the heals of former president Bush’s veto of a bill which would have outlawed thimerosal from all pediatric vaccines.

Save yourself the needle prick and take some vitamin D – which by the way does have evidence in the medical literature supporting that it prevents influenza.

Even as a medical doctor, I highly respect this article. My approach is more from an alternative nature. There are in fact many doctors who are just in this to make money and please “big pharma”. Everyone should do their homework and understand what drugs and vaccines really do to their bodies.

It is so very important for us to do our homework. Doctors have an agenda to please BIG PHARMA, or some preconception about doing things one way, and never going outside the box. Research, research, research. You will find a great deal of good about any medication, or proceedure, but consider the source. Weigh the pros, and cons. Ultimately you as the patient have the final say, ask questions, and ask some more. Take no one ’s word for what they are about to inject into your body, know the ingredients yourself, and the side effects. Not just injections, but pills and proceedures as well.
