Fighting Pathogens

In case we have another emergency situation like 2020, I thought it would be wise for us to mentally prepare. We were frequently told to wear masks and get vaccinated against COVID-19, yet we seem to have forgotten the basic foundations of protecting ourselves against pathogens. We have developed a dangerous and self-destructive dependence on governments, doctors, and social media gurus for our safety. While I am not suggesting we ignore experts who possess specialized knowledge, we must stop relying blindly on their advice; doing so is walking in darkness, unaware that a precipice lies ahead.


Our immune system is an extraordinarily complex foundation that should be our primary concern. It took nature eons to construct this elaborate, flexible system that works symbiotically to keep us healthy. When our immune system recognizes invaders, it attacks and remedies the threat. However, our first line of defense should always be a healthy lifestyle. While medical intervention is sometimes necessary, a foundation of movement and nutrition is paramount. Without it, we become victims of an industry whose primary focus is revenue.

To support a healthy immune system, a simple routine of regular exercise and healthy consumption will aid the immune system in fighting diseases. While there is nothing wrong with wearing masks, relying solely on "Band-Aids" to fight pathogens makes little sense if we ignore the natural defenses we already possess. In the likelihood that we experience another pandemic or something as catastrophic, don’t think to rely solely on institutions.

    Overeating, processed food, over sanitizing, and cheap dopamine fixes are ruining health these days, this is the real pandemic. If these were addressed - like you said, there would have been no need for masks, and autoimmune conditions would cease to exist. Enjoyed reading your take on this and agree with everything you said!

    I still remember what we talked abt healthy lifestyle in Chiangmai. I began to choose organic food when i arrived in usa. My body feels lighter when i reduce intake of sugar, heavy salt and deep processed food.

    Very interesting read. Agreed we should exercise and eat properly to build up immunity against invaders in the body. Instead of reacting to covid invaders Dr's should tell us how to be proactive.

Sister Elizabeth Kenny

Image
Elizabeth Kenny was a self-trained Australian nurse whose unconventional methods revolutionized polio treatment and laid the foundation for modern physical therapy. Despite receiving only a few years of formal schooling, her medical journey began at age 17 after a horse-riding accident led her to study anatomy under her physician, Dr. McDonnell. He would become her lifelong mentor. In 1912, after years of self-study, Kenny opened St. Canice's clinic, offering midwifery and restorative services. It was here she first treated infantile paralysis (polio) by applying hot woolen compresses to relax tight muscles—a sharp departure from the era's standard of rigid bracing. When World War I broke out, Kenny was initially rejected for military service due to her lack of formal qualifications. However, with a recommendation from Dr. McDonnell, she served as a nurse aboard the HMAT Suevic. By 1917, she earned the title of "Sister" (equivalent to a 1st lieutenant) and was honor...

It’s the “melody”

Image
I often find myself in conversations with people who seem disengaged. While they hear my words, they frequently miss the underlying melodies that convey my message. This disconnect is frustrating—especially after sharing something personal, only to realize the listener completely missed the point. Many focus solely on the literal text, overlooking the tones and nuances that carry the true essence of the communication.  I frequently feel disappointed when my thoughts and emotions fail to resonate. I don’t believe this is solely the listener’s fault; perhaps I need to find a more concise way to share. It is possible my words come across as dissonant or my prose too lengthy, causing people to tune out. I recognize that this disconnect can stem from my own speaking style. However, what concerns me most is that, in a world where individuality reigns supreme, we have learned to prioritize our own narratives over listening to others. In a culture that values self-promotion, empathy for th...

Adulthood: Illusion of Control

Image
Adulthood brings the pernicious illusion of control The mirage of dominion over one’s own life That allows us to feel like adults We associate this maturity with autonomy The sovereign right to determine what is going to happen to us   Disillusionment comes sooner or later It always comes It doesn't miss an appointment; It never has And when it arrives We receive it without too much surprise   No one who has lived long enough is surprised to find  That their biography has been molded by distant events By other people's wills With little or no participation from our own decisions   There is a chain of circumstances that awaits around the corner And even though we know it And are certain that those things are happening There’s no way we can anticipate them   Struggling against its effects is all we can do Nevertheless, it's always somewhat dreadful When someone reveals to us The chain that has turned us into who we are   It's always disconcerting to discover ...
