I recommend you read “Heal Through Balance: An Introduction to Tibetan Medicine” by Yeshi Donden and
“The Tibetan Art of Serenity : How to Heal & Gain Contentment” by Christopher Hansard

What you need to remember about flu-shots is that they are always for *previously* known strands of “flu”, they don’t predict this-years-latest-mutation.

…and seeings as people build up natural immunities to the strands that have already been in circulation, the flu shots really aren’t very effective and are only useful to those with especially poor immune systems; and maybe people who are constantly exposed such as teachers or nurses et cetera.

In short, they’re pretty pointless.

Ew, I had the same thing. Come up to Canada, our drugs are much better here. No flying tivos for me.
Although, maybe I missed out on something good, eh?

Glad you’re feeling better.

There’s a “replacement” for pseudoephedrine, called phenylephedrine, or something like that. It’s marketed under Sudafed PE. It’s garbage. It doesn’t work worth a flip.

And flu shots are always iffy. There is more than one strain of the flu, so you might get a flu shot and get it anyway.

David got a flu shot every year he was in the military (22 years). Every year, the flu shot gave him the flu. They say this doesn’t happen, but it does. Ever since he retired, he’s refused to get a flu shot, and hasn’t gotten the flu since.

Hope you’re feeling better soon. When you said you were approaching primate status, I got this mental image of you brachiating around the house. It was a funny mental image, despite the fact that I don’t actually know what you look like.
