So I just got back from the emc because I had flu like systoms on tues, wed, thur, then fri neck glands started to swell, well this morning it worsen, so because it wasnt that bad on friday, and now monday was 2 days away, I was forced to the emc as opposed to seeing my regular doctor. Sucks becuase thats the difference between a 4 hour wait and 20 min wait. Oh well they gave me some steriod shot and I instantly felt better within 2 hours. Weird. Im sure this will come as a suprise, but to the contrary I usually seek herbal remedies and accupuncture when I get sick, and actually havent had to take atibiotics for over 5 years. Accupunture at one point cured my bronchotis, pnemonia, and few other not so serious conditions. Pretty cool yeah. This time I was just in too much pain to avoid the American way of curing illness, and actually quite suprised at what they can do these days I think was my overall point. I still believe however, natural remedies and eastern medicine is the healthier answers than our western medicine, cure pain and sickness as fast as possible, destoy the bodies immune system with antibiotics, remove inner body parts like parts of the intestines or colon, ect with surgeries. So yeah im feeling better I did succumb to the americanized way today, but it will be for emergencies only still.
