Flu Vaccine vs. EpiCor

My previous post was about side effects from the HPV vaccine, and today I received an article in Mercola's Newsletter that says,  "A study published in the prestigious journal The Lancet revealed that flu shots provide only “moderate protection” against the flu, and in some seasons is altogether 'reduced or absent.'  Specifically, the Lancet said the vaccine is about 59 percent effective. But when you break the numbers down statistically, what it really works out to is that the vaccine prevents flu 1.5 times out of 100.   That’s right. Using the Lancet’s own numbers, statistics show that the vaccine only works 1.5 times out of 100."

I have not yet talked about EpiCor yet on this blog.  This is the name of a dried yeast fermentate that I have taken for several years.  I purchase it at Vitamin Research (www.vrp.com).  EpiCor is a natural product that doesn't adversely affect the balance of flora in the digestive tract because the yeast is dead.  Lab studies show that EpiCor decreases allergies, protects against the flu, and balances the immune system.

Within a week of taking EpiCor, I noticed my allergies were reduced remarkably, and my occurrence of sinus infections dropped dramatically.  I used to have chronic sinusitis (sinus infections several times a year).  With EpiCor they dropped to once a year (from 3), and in the last year I have had none, which I attribute to the EpiCor and also the protocol I am on for Adrenal Fatigue, which I have discussed in prior posts, as well as eating organic foods.

I have not had the flu since I have been on EpiCor. (4 years)  EpiCor has been studied in a lab, and it boosts NK cells in the lungs (mucus membranes) 400 percent.  There are no side effects, except that it helps prevent cancer because it harmonizes the ratio of different components in the immune system, not just amps up NK cells.  It balances rather than overstimulates the immune system.

EpiCor was originally a yeast fermentate used in high performance race horse food.  The workers in the factory were breathing in the dust from the fermentate and many were reporting they hadn't been sick in years.  Since then studies were done to validate the findings, and the fermentate was upgraded with added selenium and production in a food-grade facility.  Get more details about EpiCor at www.distance-healer.com/27.html.
