Thanks for sharing this. I'm going to ask others about their experience with family members getting flu shot. My dad told me to get a flu shot and I got pissed at him.  This is after telling him about 10 times that for about 5 yrs every year I got the flu shot, I GOT THE FLU...but in the last 7 yrs or so I haven't gotten it and...suprise!!  no FLU Also I take a stack which I recommend everyone take to keep the immune system healthy and its evidenced based btw....  selenium + tryptopan + cysteine (NAC) and glutamine...  its the glutathione peroxidase stack.  also take b6/b12 (b complex) and at least 10k IU vitamin D during flu season everyone is both vit D deficient and selenium deficient woudlnt' hurt to take magnesiuim, zinc, boron, iodine also.
