Strange title, eh? Well, its the truth. Sunday-Wednesday this week found me sick. Not the piddly little sniffly nose type of sick. Oh, no... The OMGosh someone find me a bathroom, NOW type of sick. It was awful! I had plenty of time to think over the past four days and I found myself wondering, "Why do I even bother with GermX and flu shots?" Now, I know the flu shot is for the respiratory flu, but even at that... Are we really doing what's best for our bodies? Getting the flu shot doesn't mean you WON'T get the flu, only if you do, it won't be as severe.
I think back to when I was in school. We washed our hands after we went to the bathroom and before lunch. No GermX, no flu shots. Our bodies had their own immune systems that were tough enough to handle germs. Yes, we got sick, but not like we do now. We've taught our immune systems to "Take a load off, and don't worry about doing your job. Someone/something else will take care of it. They may not do a great job, but hey, its good enough for who its for!" Interesting parallel to our society today...
I could go on and on, but I won't. Instead, I will say, "Good-bye, GermX! Hello germs! And btw, Immune System, you've got some catching up to do!"
