It's flu season folks, and the yearly hype and scare-mongering are upon us. How such a relatively benign and short-lived cluster of symptoms that nearly everyone on Earth experiences from time to time can generate such maniacal focus boggles the mind. It seems that every year there are warnings that this flu season will be the worst and we must prepare for a possible pandemic. The CDC's guesstimated statistic that 36 thousand people a year die from the flu is trotted out with almost clock-like regularity and quoted by esteemed health 'experts' nationwide in order to pressure people into obtaining their flu shot.

On this episode of The Health and Wellness Show we'll examine the flu, flu propaganda, flu shots, flu prevention, flu treatment and all other things flu-y. Join us!

And stay tuned for Zoya's Pet Health Segment where the topic will be upper respiratory infections in cats.
