Healthy Pursuits Are like Traveling

The American travel writer Paul Theroux once wrote: "Tourists don't know where they've been, travelers don't know where they're going."

Healthy pursuits are like traveling. We know there is a wonderland called wellness. But, there are no fixed routes to reach there. The pursuits need effort and determination. We cannot act like tourists who don't know where they've been. We must take notes of warning signs sent by our bodies.

On the journey to wellness, there are many dangers to be avoided; there are many footsteps to be taken; unfortunately, there are no shortcuts.

Travelers walking in the night follow North Star. Healthy pursuits work similarly. We know our goal; we know the signposts; we know the dangers on the road; we can adjust pace if we are tired; we can change travel plans due to the weather. But, We walk steadily and persistently. With my companionship, hopefully, your journey will be made easier.

May all be fed. May all be healed. May all be loved.

Read my article on "The Pros and Cons of Flu Vaccination."  Here are the cons of flu vaccination:

• Flu vaccine appeared to actually increase people's risk of getting sick with H1N1, and cause more serious bouts of illness to boot.
• Natural infection is more beneficial
• Seasonal flu vaccine may weaken your natural immunity
• The flu shot covers less than 10 percent of the circulating viruses creating these illness.
• Some patients developed Guillain-Barre syndrome after getting a seasonal flu shot (see the video)
• The age-related decline of the immune system affects the body’s response to vaccination
• Could we vaccinate our kids too early and too much?
• Each dose flu vaccine contains traces of formaldehyde and 25 micrograms of thimerosal (a mercury containing compound; a preservative).
• There are known adverse reactions to the flu vaccine
