long time no sick
Recently, I’ve come to realise that it may not the best solution.
About 4 months back, I had a bad dry cough, one that refuses to go away. A new doctor gave me cough medicine without antibiotics. This was rather unusual as I’d expected the cough to lead to the development of phlegm (it always did), but the doctor reassured me that he saw no signs of inflammation in my throat and that I was better off without the extra medication.
Sure enough, after 2 days the thick yellowish phlegm came and I felt rather pissed off that I had to pay him another visit, so instead I chose to ignore my condition. Strangely…within another 2 days, my phlegm and cough vanished. I was fully recovered. No rhyme or reason. The doctor must be right then, perhaps we should trust our body to fight the virus than depend on foreign cure all the time.
Since then there have been instances that I’ve felt too “heaty” thinking an inevitable sickness was looming, but my body waged a fierce battle and averted yet another condition.
I account that to a general stronger immune system.
For the past few days I’ve been down with a cough but not too bothered by it. Just sitting around waiting to see how long this battle will last.
I believe in the natural immunisation as far as my body can help it. Besides, some doctors prescribe more medicine than sometimes necessary for making more money. There’s this doc at my place whom i go to when i try to ‘geng’ mc and he can prescribe me 5 types of different medicine when i’m not exactly seriously ill. So your doctor is good! I mean afterall, medicine is man-made and foreign (sometimes harmful) to the body and may only weaken your immunisation which also explains why i dun take supplements. If i can get vitamin C from an orange, why get it from a bottle?
Because sometimes we are too lazy to eat a full orange?
Alternatively, drink the juice! Like you said it, make it part of the natural course. Heheh, For me, it’s more of "what if the orange is sour?"
I am the "weak" one, as jen always say.. i always have sore throat.. haha.. guess coz of my junk food diet.. hehe.. no job so no see doc anymore.. just pop sum lozenges, drink water and stay clear of fried food and my throat will be back to normal.. thking about it, I no see doc since last year when I left my company! ahah..
