BUT AS OUR NEXT GUEST, HE WROTE THE BOOK TITLED: DEADLY ANTIOXIDANTS.
WILL ATTEST HOW YOU GET YOUR ANTIOXIDANTS IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS GETTING THEM.
AND JOINING US THIS MORNING, DR.
DESHAWN TALBOT, THE NUTRITIONAL BIOCHEMIST AND CHEIF SCIENCE OFFICER FOR LIFE VANTAGE
CORPORATION.
A LEADING EDGE COMPANY DEDICATED TO GREAT SCIENCE FOR GREAT HEALTH.
AND TRISH ALBERKSON, A LIFE VANTAGE DISTRIBUTOR WITH SOME EXCITING THINGS TO SHARE.
WELCOME TO BOTH OF YOU.
GREAT TO HAVE YOU IN STUDIO THIS MORNING.
THANK YOU.
GREAT TO BE HERE.
THANKS FOR HAVING US.
DOCTOR, I WANT TO TURN TO YOU FIRST.
WHAT ROLE DO ANTIOXIDANTS PLAY IN HELPING CONTROL THE SIGNS OF AGING?
ANTIOXIDANTS ARE VITALLY IMPORTANT FOR OUR BODIES.
ANTIOXIDANTS PROTECT US FROM OXIDANTS WHICH ARE THESE COMPOUNDS IN THE ENVIRONMENT FROM
SUNLIGHT, FROM AIR POLLUTION, EVEN FROM WHEN WE BREATHE, THEY CAN DAMAGE OUR CELLS.
THEY CAN DAMAGE OUR CELL MEMBRANES, THEY CAN DAMAGE OUR DNA.
THEY CAN REALLY BREAK DOWN EVERY SINGLE TISSUE IN THE BODY.
SO, ANTIOXIDANTS PROTECT US FROM THAT DAMAGE.
THAT'S WHY THEY ARE ANTI-AGING AND THAT'S WHY THEY ARE PROTECTORS IN THE BODY.
WELL, THE TITLE OF YOUR BOOK IS, DEADLY ANTIOXIDANTS.
RIGHT.
AND IT FEELS ALMOST COUNTER INTUITIVE, BUT IS IT?
RIGHT.
WELL, THESE THINGS THAT ARE PROTECTING US, THESE ANTIOXIDANTS NUTRIENTS WHEN WE SUPPLEMENT
WITH THEM IN THE WRONG WAY AT HIGH DOSE ISOLATED SYNTHETIC VERSIONS THAT PEOPLE BUY ALL THE
TIME.
THEY CAN ACTUALLY CAUSE DAMAGE IN THE BODY AND ALL THE RESEARCH IS SHOWING US NOW THAT
SUPPLEMENTING THAT WAY IS THE WRONG WAY OF DOING IT.
INSTEAD, WHAT WE WANT TO DO, IS ACTIVATE THE BODY'S OWN PROTECTIVE MECHANISMS.
MOST PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT THE BODY CAN PRODUCE IT'S OWN ANTIOXIDANTS ENZYMES
THROUGH THIS PATHWAY THAT WE CALL NRF 2.
SO, FRUITS AND VEGETABLES ACTIVATE IT BUT ALSO SPICES AND HERBAL EXTRACTS ACTIVATE IT.
SO, WE CAN MAKE OUR OWN ANTIOXIDANTS SO WE DON'T HAVE TO TAKE THEM.
AND TRISHA I WANT TO TURN TO YOU.
FROM A WOMAN'S POINT OF VIEW WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO GET YOUR FAMILY INVOLVED IN LIFE VANTAGE.
WELL, FOR MANY YEARS, I'VE BEEN AWARE THAT CHILDREN RUN AROUND AT A VERY VERY FAST PAST.
AND I REMEMBER TALKING WITH A GIRLFRIEND WHEN WE BOTH HAD YOUNG CHILDREN AND WE WERE WATCHING
OUR KIDS AT THE PARK JUST PLAYING AND PLAYING AND PLAYING WITH THIS UNLIMITED ENERGY AND
THIS VITALITY AND THIS LOVE OF LIFE.
AND I LOOKED AT HER AND I SAID, YOU KNOW IF WE COULD JUST CAPTURE THAT.
IF WE COULD JUST BOTTLE THAT UP, I WOULD WANT TO TAKE IT.
I WOULD WANT SOME.
I SEE.
EXACTLY.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT A MONEY MAKER THAT WOULD BE BECAUSE EVERYBODY I KNOW WOULD ALSO WANT
SOME.
BUT THERE WAS NOTHING LIKE THAT AVAILABLE AND SO HERE YEARS LATER WHEN I CAME ACROSS
THIS PRODUCT, THAT'S WHAT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION.
HERE WE HAVE A CHANCE TO HELP OUR SELVES FEEL YOUNG AGIN AND HAVE THAT VITALITY.
WHAT IF JUST WHAT IF THIS WAS THE PRODUCT I WAS LOOKING FOR.
I WAS VERY EXCITED TO START TAKING IT.
SO, DOCTOR WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT YOUR PRODUCTS, YOU'VE KIND BOTTLED IT.
THIS IS ADJUSTABLE RIGHT?
RIGHT, EXACTLY.
SO, PROTANDIM IS A DIETARY SUPPLEMENT THAT YOU SWALLOW AND PROTECTS YOU INTERNALLY.
ACTIVATES THAT BODY'S PROTECTIVE MECHANISMS THAT NRF 2 PATHWAY SO WE MAKE OUR OWN ANTIOXIDANTS
TO PROTECT US FROM THE ENVIRONMENT AROUND US.
THIS IS A VERSION FOR OUR PETS.
FOR CANINES.
RIGHT, YEAH.
IT'S CALLED CANINE HEALTH.
IT PROTECTS OUR DOGS.
BUT THEN WE'VE JUST COME OUT WITH THIS LINE THE TRUE SCIENCE SKIN CARE SYSTEM THAT HAS
THE SAME NRF 2 ACTIVATING INGREDIENTS AS PROTANDIM THAT WE CAN USE TOPICALLY.
SO, NOW THAT PROTECTS YOUR SKIN FROM THAT BOMBARDING OF OXIDATION FROM THE ENVIRONMENT.
SO, THAT'S GREAT.
YOU'RE NOT ONLY PUTTING THAT IN YOUR BODY, YOU'RE ALSO PUTTING THAT ON YOUR BODY.
AND SO WITH THIS SYSTEM YOU'RE PROTECTING YOUR ENTIRE BODY.
OUTSIDE, INSIDE, EVERY SINGLE TISSUE.
TELL ME ABOUT THIS BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY AND WHY YOU GOT INVOLVED.
WELL, MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE ALWAYS WORKED VERY VERY HARD AND WE'VE TRIED TO MAKE ENDS
MEET AND YET LIFE THROWS AT YOU ALL SORTS OF CHALLENGES AND SET BACKS AND IT ALWAYS
SEEMED LIKE WE HAD MORE MONTH LEFT OVER WHEN THE MONEY RAN OUT.
YEAH.
SO, I WAS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR A WAY TO TRY AND MAKE A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA SO THAT I COULD
HELP OUT FROM HOME BUT I STILL WANTED TO BE HOME AND BE A MOTHER.
WHEN I FOUND THIS AND FOUND THAT COULD WORK FROM HOME AND I COULD SHARE THIS PRODUCT WITH
PEOPLE.
PRODUCTS THAT I LOVED, THAT I KNEW WERE HAVING AN IMPACT ON MY FAMILY, ON OUR HEALTH, ON
OUR PERFORMANCE AND THE WAY WE FELT.
THE WAY THAT LOOKED.
I WAS EAGER TO SHARE THIS WITH MY FRIENDS AND THE PEOPLE AROUND ME.
AND WE FOUDN THAT PEOPLE EITHER WANTED TO TAKE THE PRODUCT AND BE CUSTOMERS OR THEY
WERE INTERESTED IN HELPING ME WITH THE BUSINESS.
AND TOGETHER WE'VE CREATED AN INCOME THAT NOT ONLY HELPS SUPPLEMENT PEOPLE'S INCOME
BUT ALSO HAS HELPED CREATE UP TO CEO INCOME FOR SOME PEOPLE THAT WE'VE WORKED WITH.
DOCTOR, I MEAN THANKS FOR PUTTING THIS GREAT RESEARCH AND SCIENCE AND EVERYTHING YOU'VE
COMPILED TO TAKE IT OUT TO PEOPLE, YOU KNOW YOU CAN USE IT IN THEIR DAILY LIVES AND SHARE
IT WITH OTHER.
REALLY GREAT TO HAVE YOU IN THE STUDIO THIS MORNING.
THANK YOU.
GREAT FOR HAVING US.

DID YOU KNOW THAT OCTOBER IS NATIONAL ORTHODONTIC HEALTH MONTH?
WELL, IT IS.
AND WHAT BETTER TIME THAN NOW TO TALK ABOUT THE LATEST IN CREATING BEAUTIFUL SMILES.
WELCOME TO THE SHOW THIS MORNING DOCTOR MARGO BRILLIANT, A TOP ORTHODONTIST AND HER PATIENTS
FRANCINE MESTESH AND AMANDA STUDNICK.
AND RIGHT BY HER SIDE HER MOTHER STACY.
LADIES, GOOD MORNING.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
DOCTOR, LET ME START WITH YOU.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE LATEST IN TEETH STRAIGHTENING.
WE NOW HAVE ORTHODONTIC APPLIANCE THAT HAVE NO WIRES, BRACKETS, OR BANDS.
INVISALIGN WITH IT'S CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY MAKES A SERIES OF REMOVABLE TRAYS OUT OF VERY
LIGHT WEIGHT PLASTIC THAT MOVE TEETH VERY GENTLY OVER TIME.
AND I KNOW THERE'S INVISALIGN AND INVISALIGN TEEN.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
THERE'S A FEW DIFFERENCE.
ONE BEING THAT INVISALIGN TEEN YOU CAN ORDER A REPLACEMENT LINER IF YOU LOSE IT.
THERE'S ALSO A BLUE INDICATOR DOT ON THE ALIGNER SO THAT THE DOCTOR CAN SEE THAT THE PATIENT
IS WEARING THE ALIGNER AS PRESCRIBED.
BUT THE MOST FANTASTIC THING ABOUT INVISALIGN IS THAT IN REALLY WORKS ON COMPLEX TREATMENT
PLANS OFTEN PRESENT IN TEENS.
FRANCINE LET ME BRING YOU IN NOW.
I KNOW YOU DECIDED TO GET BRACES AS AN ADULT, WAS IT A TOUGH DECISION FOR YOU BECAUSE I
WOULD THINK THAT OLDER YOU GET THE HARDER IT WOULD BE, YOU KNOW COMPLIANCE.
I DON'T KNOW, A LOT OF THINGS RIGHT?
YEAH.
WELL, I SAW MY TEETH SHIFTING SO I KNEW THAT SOMETHING NEEDED TO BE DONE.
AND THE INVISALIGN DECISION WAS SOME WHAT EASIER BECAUSE OF THE ADVANTAGES THAT IT PRESENTS
OVER BRACES.
I HAD BRACES WHEN I WAS A KID AND THIS IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT METHOD AND VERY ATTRACTIVE.
SO FOR YOU, IT WAS A NO BRAINER.
ABSOLUTELY NO BRAINER.
BIG DIFFERENCE FOR YOU HUH?
ABSOLUTELY.
WELL, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DOING IT AND DOING NOTHING.
TOUCHE.
WELL SAID.
AMANDA, HOW ABOUT YOU?
YOU ARE HOW OLD?
17.
OK.
WAS IT TOUCH FOR YOU TO MAKE THAT DECISION THAT AT YOUR AGE.
YOU KNOW, IT'S A TOUGH YEAR, YOU'RE A SENIOR?
EXACTLY, YEAH.
AND GOING INTO SENIOR YEAR I'M GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF DANCES AND PICTURES TO TAKE ..
BOYS ASKING YOU OUT.
EXCTLY.
SO, HAVING THINGS IN MY MOUTHT THAT I CAN TAKE OUT WHEN I WANT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A
CLEAR MOUTH FOR PICTURES.
IT WAS A REALLY GREAT THING TO KNOW.
SO, I'M GLAD THAT I WENT WITH INVISALIGN.
IT MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE FOR YOU AS WELL.
HUGE DIFFERENCE.
AND YOU'RE GORGEOUS LET ME JUST TELL YOU.
YOU PROBABLY HAVE GUYS KNOCKING ON THE DOOR.
RIGHT MOM?
DOCTOR, LET ME ASK YOU THIS.
SINCE INVISALIGN CLEAR ALIGNERS ARE REMOVABLE AND I CAN SEE HOW EASY IT IS TO MANAGE IT.
I CAN'T EVEN TELL SHE'S WEARING IT.
DOES IT MAKE IT EASIER FOR TEENAGER TO BE MORE COMPLIANT?
WELL, TEENAGERS ARE VERY COMPLIANT.
THEY ARE?
THEY ARE.
IT REALLY, WE HAVE DATA THAT SHOWS THAT THEY WERE THEM 21 HOURS A DAY.
WHICH IS NECESSARY TO GET STRAIGHT TEETH.
AND THEY OTHER THINGS THAT REALLY DON'T SEE VERY MANY PEOPLE ORDERING THE REPLACEMENT
ALIGNERS.
SO, THEY DON'T LOSE THEM AS OFTEN AS YOU'D THINK THEY WOULD.
AND I THINK I KNOW THEY ANSWER TO THIS BUT WHAT WOULD MOTIVATE A TEENAGER TO CHOOSE THIS
AS OPPOSED TO LET'S SAY THE METAL BRACES.
WELL, VERY INTERESTING STUDY CAME OUT IS THAT INVISALIGN TEEN COMMISSION KELTON RESEARCH
TO PULL 3,000 TEENS AND WE FOUND THAT KIDS THAT WERE IN METAL BRACES WERE MUCH MORE EMBARRASSED
VERSUS THE KIDS THAT WORE ALIGNERS.
BUT REALLY THE BEST NUMBER THAT CAME OUT OF THE STUDY THAT 68% OF ALL TEENS WEARING INVISALIGN
WERE LESS LIKELY TO BE TEASED.
WHICH WAS A HUGE MOTIVATING FACTOR WITH BULLYING TODAY.
AND THAT'S HUGE TO KNOW.
IN TERMS OF COST, IS IT COMPARABLE?
IT IS.
INVISALIGN COSTS ABOUT THE SAME AS TRADITIONAL BRACES.
THE NATIONAL AVERAGE RIGHT NOW IS ABOUT $5600.
IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE TREATMENT PLAN AND WHERE YOU LIVE.
THERE ARE WAYS TO SAVE SOME OUT OF POCKET DOLLARS.
ONE BEING ORTHODONTIC INSURANCE, IT IT COVERS TRADITIONAL BRACES, IT WILL COVER INVISALIGN.
STACEY, LET ME BRING YOU IN.
AS A MOM, DID YOU SEE SOME BENEFITS FROM HER CHOICE?
YES.
ABSOLUTELY.
INVISALIGN, FIRST OF ALL, DOESN'T HAVE THE BREAKING BRACKETS AND WIRES THAT ARE COMING
OUT SO WE ARE NOT RUSHING FOR EMERGENCIES WHICH IS HUGE, WITH SCHEDULES AND A MOTHER.
TOO, SHE CAN EAT ANY FOODS SHE WANTS.
SHE POPS THE LINERS OUT, SHE EATS AND THEN SHE CAN BRUSH PROPERLY AND THREE FOR SURE,
JUST THE FACT THAT SHE CAN TAKE THEM IN AND OUT FOR CONFIDENCE.
IT DEFINITELY IS A PLUS.
I MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
DR.
BRILLIANT, IS INVISALIGN GOOD FOR JUST SMALL COSMETIC ISSUES OR DOES IT HELP WITH COMPLEX
ISSUES IN THE MOUTH.
IT HELPS A LOT WITH COMPLEX ISSUES.
ADVANCES IN INVISALIGN'S PATENTED TECHNOLOGY HAS REALLY MADE US ABLE TO TREAT COMPLEX ISSUES.
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY THE AGE IS THAT WE SHOULD TAKE OUR CHILDREN TO VISIT AN ORTHODONTIST.
DEFINITELY BY THE AGE OF 7.
WOW!
MY KIDS ARE 10 AND 12 AND THEY HAVEN'T GONE.
YOU'RE LATE.
SHAME ON ME.
OK.
I'M GOING TO END WITH MY TWO INVISALIGN PATIENTS.
LET ME START WITH YOU FRANCINE.
JUST YOU KNOW, THEY DIFFERENCE YOU'VE SEEN, HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT CHOOSING IT.
LIKE I SAID, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DOING NOTHING OR DOING WHAT'S RIGHT.
EASY TO WEAR.
I WEAR THEM ALL THE TIME.
EASY TO SPEAK WITH.
NO PROBLEM.
I HAVEN'T LOST ANY.
I WOULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN.
EXCELLENT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
AND AMANDA?
YOU.
YOU'RE THOUGHTS?
I THINK THAT INVISALIGN IMPACTED ME IN SO MANY WAYS BECAUSE NOT ONLY AM I STRAIGHTENING
MY TEETH, BUT I ALSO GET TO REMOVE THEM AND FOR ME BEING ON THE MORNING SHOW AT MY SCHOOL.
OH REALLY?
YEAH.
YOU REPORT ON THE NEWS?
I DO.
AND WHAT HAS THAT DONE FOR YOU?
WHEN I GET TO TAKE THEM OUT, I JUST CAN HAVE A CLEAN SMILE AND NO ONE HAS TO KNOW THAT
I'M TRYING TO STRAIGHTEN MY TEETH.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU.
THANK YOU.
IF YOU WANT TO INTERN HERE, LET ME KNOW.
OF COURSE.
STACEY, THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK TO YOU.
THANKS FOR BEING HERE.
REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

OR POST A SMILE AS WELL.
(MUSIC) WITH THE FLU SEASON UPON US, CHANCES ARE YOU'VE
BEGUN TO NOTICE A COUGH OR SNEEZE AROUND THE HOUSE OR AT YOUR WORKPLACE.
SO, HOW DO YOU PROTECT YOURSELF?
WELL, ACCORDING THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION VACCINATION IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE
WAY TO PREVENT INFECTION AND SEVERE OUTCOMES CAUSED BY INFLUENZA VIRUSES.
NOW, ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY HAS ALLOWED FOR A NEW FDA APPROVED FORM OF VACCINE THAT DOES
NOT CONTAIN EGG PROTEINS, ANTIBIOTICS, INFLUENZA VIRUSES OR PRESERVATIVES.
TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS, WE HAVE INVITED MANON COX, SHE IS THE PRESIDENT AND CEO OF
PROTEIN SCIENCES CORPORATION.
GOOD MORNING MONOE.
GOOD MORNING OLGA.
THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME, THIS IS SOMETHING THAST IS VERY IMPORTANT TO SO MANY PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY
THIS TIME OF YEAR, SO I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT IT.
LET'S FOCUS A LITTLE BIT FIRST ABOUT THE INFLUENZA VIRUS, BETTER KNOWN AS THE FLU.
WHAT CAUSES THE EPIDEMIC EVERY YEAR?
WELL THE INFLUENZA VIRUS IS A VERY SMART VIRUS, IT CHANGES ALL THE TIME AND THAT IS ONE OF
THE REASNS WHY EVERY YEAR WE HAVE TO TAKE A FLU SHOT AGAIN.
INFLUENZA VIRUS IS ALSO HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS.
IT IS.
SO ABOUT TWENTY PERCENT OF US CARRY THE FLU VIRUS DURING THE INFLUENZA SEASON AND THAT
IS WHY EVERY YEAR YOU HAVE NEW OUTBREAKS AND ESPECIALLY THE OLDER PEOPLE, WHERE THE IMMUNE
SYSTEM IS A LITTLE BIT WEAKER THAN IT USED TO BE, THAT WILL END UP IN THE HOSPITAL, BUT
ALSO CHILDREN AND IMMUNE COMPROMISED PEOPLE.
MEANING PEOPLE THAT SUFFER FROM DIABETES, ASTHMA, HEART DISEASE ALL OF THEM WOULD BENEFIT
FROM INFLUENZA VACCINATION.
AND IT'S IMPORTANT FOR EVERYONE TO GET IT AND I AGREE WITH YOU THERE.
NOW, YOUR COMPANY HAS BEEN WORKING ON A RATHER UNIQUE FORM OF THE FLU VACCINE IF YOU WILL
AND I WAS READING HERE, IT'S A PROTEIN BASED ONE.
CORRECT.
CAN YOU EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT, AND IT'S ALSO BEEN APPROVED BY THE FDA WHICH IS REALLY IMPORTANT.
RIGHT.
SO WE HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR ABOUT 20 YEARS ON A DEVELOPMENT OF THIS VACCINE.
OH WOW.
IT IS...WHAT WE DO IS WE TAKE THE COACH PROTEIN OF THE INFLUENZA VIRUS AND THAT'S THE ONLY
PROTEIN THAT WE MAKE IN CELL CULTURE AND STAINLESS STEEL BIOREACTORS, AND THE ADVANTAGE OF THAT
ISD YOU DON'T NEED CHICKEN EMBRYOS YOU DON'T NEED THE LIVE INFLUENZA VIRUS, YOU DON'T NEED
ANTIBIOTICS AS A RESULT, NO TIME AEROSOLS.
SO WHAT YOU END UP HAVING IN FLUBLOK IS A HIGHLY PURIFIED PROTEIN VACCINE AND BECAUSE
IT IS SO HIGHLY PURIFIED WE'RE ABLE TO PUT THREE TIMES MORE PROTEIN IN THERE SO IT'S
ALSO A HIGH DOSE VACCINE.
AND MORE PROTEINS MEANS THAT YOUR BODY WILL FORM MORE ANTI BODIES THAT CAN ALL HELP YOU
FIGHT THE FLU.
ALRIGHT, SO HERE'S A TRUE OR FALSE QUESTION THAT I KNOW YOU'VE HEARD THOUSANDS OF TIMES,
BUT THIS IS WHAT I GET ALL THE TIME.
"WELL OLGA, YA KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO GET THE FLU SHOT BECAUSE IF I GET THE FLU SHOT, I'M
GONNA GET THE FLU."
YES..
TRUE OR FALSE?
YES, SO WHEN CDC DOES QUESTIONNAIRES THEY'LL FIND OUT THAT 30% OF PEOPLE THINK THEY GET
THE FLU FROM THE FLU SHOT AND IT'S AN ABSOLUTE FAIRY TALE.
OK.
IT'S NOT TRUE, THE INFLUENZA VACCINES THAT ARE OUT THERE ARE INACTIVE, MOST OF THEY AT
LEAST THEY ARE INACTIVATED AND YOU CAN'T GET THE FLU FROM THEM, HOWEVER THERE ARE COMPONENTS
IN THERE THAT MIGHT GIVE YOU FLU LIKE SYMPTOMS AND AGAIN FLUBLOK IS AN ALTERNATIVE HERE.
IT DOESN'T CONTAIN ENDOTOXINS AND THEREFORE YOU WON'T GET THOSE FLU LIKE SYMPTOMS.
NOW IS THIS NEW FORM OF VACCINE GOOD FOR EVERYBODY?
WELL IT'S CURRENTLY APPROVED BY THE FDA FOR 18-49 YEARS OF AGE.
WE HAVE FILED FOR APPROVAL FOR AN EXTENDED AGE RANGE, SO NEXT YEAR WE ARE EXPECTING APPROVAL
FOR EVERYBODY ABOVE 18 AND THE CDC RECENTLY RECOMMENDED IT, THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL
FOR PEOPLE, FOR ANYONE WHO HAS EVER EXPERIENCED AND EGG ALLERGY, WHICH YOU CAN IMAGINE IF
YOUR ALLERGIC TO ANTIBIOTICS OR ANY OF THOSE OTHER INGREDIENTS THAT ARE PRESENT IN THE
OTHER INFLUENZA VACCINES, THIS COULD BE A GOOD ALTERNATIVE AS WELL.
NOW I KNOW WE HAVE FLUBLOK HERE, RIGHT HERE ON OUR TABLE AND I'M REALLY INTERESTED TO
SEE AND TALK TO YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT HOW IT WORKS AND I KNOW YOU HAVEN'T RECEIVED
THE VACCINE EITHER, SO I THINK YOUR GOING TO GET A SPECIAL TREAT TODAY BUT QUICK QUESTION,
PREGNANT WOMAN, CAN THEY TAKE IT?
IN PRINCIPAL, NOT A SINGLE INFLUENZA VACCINE HAS BEEN FDA APPROVED FOR PREGNANT WOMAN HOWEVER,
CDC RECOMMEND THAT PREGNANT WOMAN GET VACCINATED BECAUSE THEIR IMMUNE COMPROMISED AND IT'S
REALLY IMPORTANT, NOT JUST FOR THEM BUT...
FOR THE FETUS.
...FOR THIER BABIES, THAT THEY GET VACCINATED.
NOW I KNOW YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED YOUR FLU SHOT, I DID, BUT WITH US THIS MORNING, WE
HAVE A VERY HANDSOME DOCTER WITH US, COME ON IN DOCTOR BRUCE STET, HE ACTUALLY BROGHT
THE FLUBLOK WITH YOU.
YES.
GOOD MORNING DOCTOR.
GOOD MORNING, NICE TO BE HERE.
THANK YOU SO MICH FOR BEING HERE, YOU'RE GOING TO ADMINISTER IT.
YERS, WERE GOING TO GIVE MONOE HER FLU SHOT THIS MORNING WITH FLUBLOK.
I WAITED SPECIALLY FOR FLUBLOK.
OK, WE'RE JUST GOING TO CLEAN YOUR ARM OFF HERE WITH JUST A LITTLE BIT OF ALCOHOL HERE.
AND I'M JUST GOING TO PINK YOUR SKIN A LITTLE BIT, A LITTLE STICK...AND WE ARE ALL DONE.
DID IT HURT?
WOW, I DIDN'T FEEL THAT AT ALL, BUT I'VE HAD FLUBLOK A FEW TIEMS BEFORE AND I'M REALLY
A BIG FAN.
AND REALLY IMPORTANT DOCTOR FOR HER TO GET THIS RIGHT?
YES, WE'RE COMING INTO THE PEAK OF FLU SEASON AND IT'S IMPORTANT FOR EVERYBODY TO BE PROTECTED.
THANK YOU SO MUCH DOCTOR FOR BEING HER I REALLY APPRECIATE IT AND FOR YOU FOR BEING OUR LITTLE
GUINEA PIG THIS MORNING, I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
NOW FOR OUR VIEWERS WHO WANT MORE INFORMATION ON FLUBLOK, WHERE DO THEY GO?
