Viral Infections and Salicyclics

We asked people online about their experience of the “Flu Jab” and at the same time a request was sent to our IT research dept. for a response. Although it has taken a little time for them to respond, and that is because, unlike other health charities they do not just cut and paste articles as reference, please read their comment and find the link they have provided which will take those who may be interested in the subject.

Influenza, or The Flu, is an infection by the flu virus of the throat and lungs which is easily spread from person to person through coughing and sneezing. Influenza is a viral infection and there are many strains, or types, some of which can cause more serious health problems than others, particularly amongst people who have a chronic underlying condition. These strains often change in their composition, which means that once a person has had flu, or if they have been vaccinated against flu, they may not be protected against future attacks from different strains.

Some internet information pages that provide information about influenza “The Flu” do not include detailed reference about Reye’s syndrome and the importance of avoiding taking over the counter pain killers which contain “Salicylic’s”

 

Any product that contains these ingredients, Acetyl Salicylic Acid, Acetylsalicylate, Acetylsalicylic Acid, Aluminium Acetyl Salicylate, Ammonium Salicylate, Amyl Salicylate, Arthropan, Aspirin, Benzyl Salicylate, Butyloctyl Salicylate, Calcium Acetyl Salicylate, Choline Salicylate,Ethyl Salicylate, Lithium Salicylate, Methyl Salicylate, Methylene Disalicylic Acid, Octisalate, Octyl Salicylate, Phenyl Salicylate, Procaine Salicylate, Sal Ethyl Carbonate, Salicylamide, Salicylanilide, Salicylsalicylic Acid, Santalyl Salicylate, Sodium Salicylate, Stoncylate, Strontium Salicylate, Sulfosalicylic Acid, Tridecyl Salicylate, Trolamine Salicylate.

 

Has the ability to make a person extremely ill, or kill them if that person has a viral infection.

Although this may apply more so children and teenagers, adults are not exempt. Always read the label and check the ingredients of any medication that is either purchased as an “over the counter remedy” or prescribed by a health professional.

 

It is difficult to obtain a clear picture as to whether the “Flu Jab” will cause difficulties amongst people who have a chronic underlying condition, or weakened immune system, and the number of people we were able to contact to obtain their insight is too small in number to provide a clear picture even though the majority of them had received the “Flu Jab”

 

This is an interesting subject and one which doesn’t receive enough attention with regard to the possible problems a vaccine may cause amongst people who have weakened immune system. It may be that a clearer picture could be draw by expanding the question into “Therapy Centres” which would provide a larger pool of people enabling more details information and stats thus enabling a better level of conclusions to be drawn.
