“I want to go when I want. It is tasteless to prolong life artificially. I have done my share, it is time to go. I will do it elegantly.” — Einstein “gets” death. He reportedly told this to doctors when he refused surgery. He died in 1955 at the age of 76.
“The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest her or his patients in the care of the human frame, in a proper diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.” — Thomas A. Edison
My take from the article:
The flaring up of a runny nose or itchy throat does not require that it be followed with a true illness or cold. These symptoms can be transient, they do not need to lead somewhere worse, and are simply your body’s natural inflammatory response to viruses in the air. In fact trying to “boost” yourself up with various nutraceuticals may only increase that “annoying” inflammatory response above and beyond what was normally needed by the body to do its thing. So called symptoms do not need to lead somewhere else — you’re getting better already.
There is something truly unappetizing about having flu shot signs and medicine in your face as you walk into a grocery store. It’s like putting a perfume section in a bakery shop.
