    I eat almost all of those (the right side anyway-some of the left) and that did nothing to fight the flu (before or when I had it). I'm thinking a flu shot may have been more effective and/or a call to my pcp for some tamiflu. All those things are good for you-but I am doubting their ability to fight off influenza.

    the flu shot is nasty. NO ONE in my family has ever gotten one, and my kids, husband and I have been healthy for 4 years solid now :)

    I have only gotten a flu shot once and I got horribly ill that night for over a week, never again will I get one.

    Interesting. I've never experienced anything like that. I was curious why people didn't like them! I love them!

    In the nursing home I worked in we never gave the flu shot to the same wing on the same day, we alternated days so we wouldnt have an entire home full of sick people at once. After working in health care, NEVER again will I get one

    The shot CAUSES flu. And its technically injecting you with the influenza virus plus other nasty things. They are VERY unnecessary!!

    We had to get the flu shot where I work or wear a mask at all times. :grumble: I didn't have any complications but I was still not very impressed about having to get it... I eat healthy (most of the time) so my immune system is pretty BA!! :laugh:
