Immune System is the Strongest Defence

Recently an old friend told me about his kid's asthma... been in and out of hospital 5-6 times and occasional wheezy, giving him headache and lost many weekends. This reminded me of my own case almost 20 years ago...

I was not a strong kid when young, I almost visited the clinic every month on flu, cough, fever, etc... which I now understand that was 'not normal' for a healthy kid. My immune system was weak and I never take time to let it be strong and fight, but relied purely on western medicine all the time to get a quick fix.

I became a bronchitic patient in my teen years. The hostel I stayed was having massive construction work, and the dust and cement powders which I unconsciously breath in everyday had caused me one night to woke up in shock of not able to breath! I thought I was going to die because all the phlegm had stuck at the entrance of the lungs and moving in... I stood real straight in order to breath, and fall asleep standing that night at 3am...

The next day, I went to the specialist and got an x-ray full of phlegm plus an injection... the doctor scolded me for not taking care of myself at such a young age... concluded my case as bronchitis. I promised myself that day to take care myself properly. However, with no knowledge on health, those medication did not make me any better, it only help to cover those symptom. Since then, I am careful when around people with cigarette, and refrain from dusty areas, and all cold drinks/food.

Many years later when I got into working life, I managed to cured from it when I took natural organic nutritional supplement consistently and persistently for 10 years. I also distanced myself from coloring, flavouring, preservative... which mainly found in packaging food and fast food. After attended some health seminars and read those health books, I learned a lot about the medical industry, the pharmaceutical industry, and the food industry... my thought is: Why fall into the conspiracy of those who use unhealthy things to get rich?
