Well, long time no write. Sigh! I am pretty stressed. My husband is still wading through the job seeking desert. There isn’t much out there. All we need is one job. And then there is the “Flu” vaccine hype…
We went on vacation, and a little job seeking. I would like to move southand get better weather. During this time, I had no computer. I do now… I am the owner of a new HP pavilion laptop with an entertainment package. I can’t get my hands on it as hubby has commandeered it. LOL
I returned from vacation to find a letter from my hospital’s HR department. The letter informed me that NYS had mandated all health care workers to receive flu and swine flu vaccines. I am shocked that the state can mandate assaultwith a deadly weapon on all health care workers. I have been quiet upset about this issue. It has taken quite a bit of my time. This past weekend a judge has put a stay on mandated vaccinations. Thank you, Judge.
There are some serious issues here. First is the vaccine. What is in a flu shot? Here is the list:
Why would I, a healthy adult, allow someone to inject known poisons, and neurotoxins into my body? So I could be sick too? Oh, goody.
There are 2 ways to insure health. One is the current paradigm, which is give me a pill (surgery or therapy or whatever) and make me better. This paradigm isn’t working as evidenced by soring rates of obesity, diabetes, cancer, heart disease etc. I was on the WHO site and USA, the great USA, ranks 37th in the world for health care. That is pretty poor. Our health and our lives are run by big business, agribusiness, big pharma. They employ Madison Ave advertising to sell us a life style. It isn’t a healthy life style for you and me. It is for them. They make a lot money and we think that we want this life style.
What if we have missed the point? What if we really could be healthy? What if we could eradicate disease? I think that we can, but not in our current path. We have to change radically.
When you set up a “fight,” you set up a force or “resistance”. It is something to push against. A fight against “anything” will never win. You can’t “win the war” on cancer, for example.
Judo… In this marshal art practice, the practitioner doesn’t resist. They use the oncoming force for their advantage. I think we have to look at health and health care and flu vaccines in a similar vein.
I know many people who have been very sick. The medical profession can’t help them. They are on the viscous cycle of medications, therapies, surgeries to no avail. Some of these folks give up and live quite miserable lives.
Others keep searching for their answer. One of the common threads for people who heal against all odds is nutrition. Almost without exception they have turned to the kitchen for the cure.
They choose diets that seem so austier for most of us. Once they detox their bodies, they return to health. I believe that our body will do anything in it’s power to heal, given the right tools.
We need good healthy food and water. We need to have a body that is in top running condition which can happen when you get all the toxins out. When you are that healthy, you won’t get sick with the flu. You immune system would automatically see the invader and take care of business.
We had a choice a century ago. Pencillin and the antibotic fight was more fun. “Let kill those bugs”. The other choice was a path of health and respect for the physical body and the planet. We can still make that choice. I for one choose health.
For the moment, the vaccine is on hold. Thank you. But I am realizing my time as a nurse is about done. I don’t care to work in an environment that threatens my health and at the same time can’t advance the health of all concerned.
