Health and dis-ease

Sometimes people use positive thinking to ward off colds and viruses.  Other times, they think they are practicing “positive thinking,” but are really practicing denial.  Thus, instead of mind-over-mattering away a dis-ease, they are losing an opportunity to engage the enemy germs in battle.

I realize that I may have been one of the latter types.  Therefore, when aching shoulders joined a few days worth of slight deep bronchial itchiness and post-nasal drip, I decided to take action.  I have heard many positive testimonies for the Airborne product, so I am giving it a go. 

The list of ingredients includes many vitamins that I would be taking IF I took all the vitamins I intend to every day.  Sadly, I do not meet my vitamin goal.  Subsequently, I feel comfortable trying this vitamin-mineral immunity product without fearing an overdose.

It has appeal.  In my local grocery, it comes in three adult flavors and a kids’ type.  I chose lemon-lime.  I like the fizzy effervescence – that is just fun.  In addition, it feels official because other cold and flu remedies use this format for medicine delivery.  I feel good at the moment – two hours post first dose – however, the extra-strength aspirin I took concurrently with the Airborne may deserve the credit.

I work with children.  I live with an immune-compromised person.  Let’s hope and see if this works.
