The Dr. Ardis Show | Natural Answers for this Flu Season | Episode 9.9.2026

This week, The Dr. Ardis Show tackles flu season and the FDA's new mRNA flu vaccine from Moderna. Dr. Ardis argues the CDC's "20 to 50,000 flu deaths a year" figure is actually a combined respiratory-illness total (flu, pneumonia, RSV, COPD), while true flu deaths rarely top a few dozen, and shows that Tamiflu, Relenza, and the standard flu shot all list fever, cough, body aches, and "influenza-like illness" as side effects - including a Cleveland Clinic preprint finding a 27% higher infection rate among vaccinated healthcare workers. On Moderna's shot, he covers the FDA's reversal to a unanimous 9-0 panel approval, one panel member's Merck employment history, and Merck's near-$5 million 2025 lobbying spend.

He then covers the research behind natural interventions: high-dose vitamin C (an 85% symptom reduction in a 1999 trial), vitamin D (halved infection risk above 38 ng/mL; ICU trials cutting hospital stays from 36 to 18 days), black seed oil against avian flu strains, zinc's antiviral role, NAC's reduction of viral replication and inflammation, and nicotine's effect on lowering sialic acid, which flu uses to enter cells.
