The Right Way To Cover A Cough And A Sneeze!

 
 AAAAAAAAACHOooooooooooo!


It is raining, damp and moldy...the flu season has set-in.  The virus travels with ease looking for victims with compromised immunity.  People dread to sit next to a sniffling colleagues, co-passengers...they dread the sneeze fearing that they might contract SARS, H1N1(Swine Flu) etc.

In India it is not uncommon to see many sneeze freely, some of them seem to derive orgasmic pleasure in the act unmindful and unapologetic to the people around them.  I came across one such passenger during my recent journey from Goa to Pune…and this prompted me to write this piece.  

Cupping your hand over your nose and mouth is the most common method followed by us and  it is not the right way to sneeze or cough since the next moment you are most likely to touch the telephone, the door knob, your computer keyboard or even greet a friend with a handshake causing the virus to go viral. To help stop the spread of germs, these are some recommended measures
  • Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue (handkerchief is not a good idea) when you cough or sneeze.
  • Put your used tissue in the waste basket.
  • Wash your hands often with soap and warm water for 20 seconds.
  • If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.
 

If you don't have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve or elbow, not your hands which I should say is the best of the option that all of us can adopt.





Watch both the videos below and please share this little education among your friends, colleagues, your children, their friends and if possible in their schools.

Historical Statistical Data on Success Of Homeopathy - Epidemics & Pandemics (Homeoprophylaxis)

Homoeopathy has a long and successful history of its use in epidemics and pandemics. The protocol is based on individualisation based on the mental-emotional makeup, physiological and physical symptoms of the individual. Homoeopathy avers that the 'vital force' or the immunity of the individual is the key to ward off illness and when this is deranged a person falls sick. It advocated lifestyle changes even while taking homoeopathic treatment  (Letter to the patient on cheerful methods of life) Also Read:  Your Immune System A Time-Tested Vaccine Against Coronavirus However, in the case of an epidemic, a remedy is prescribed when the remedy's proving symptom mirrors the symptom-complex exhibited by the majority of those infected by the actual pathogen. A remedy thus worked out is said to present the ' genus epidemicus ' of the disease. This remedy acts as a preventive (prophylaxis) among the majority or modifies to a milder form among the res...

Cell - Energy - Cancer

This post is going to be very fascinating, discussing Cell, Energy & Cancer. According to www.thefreedictionary.com the definition of electric cell is A device, such as a battery, that is capable of changing some form of energy, such as chemical energy or radiant energy, into electricity.  And that of electric battery   - a device that produces electricity; may have several primary or secondary cells arranged in parallel or series (underlined emphasis added). This definition has direct co-relation to the physiology of all living being. We are made up of cells, with each cell undergoing a physical and chemical process that produces energy.  A collective action of the cells can be equated to electric battery.( http://goo.gl/5aF9b ) All life is energy. Every nerve impulse in your body is an electric current. Every cell in your body is a mini-battery pumping out 70-90 millivolts — when healthy. When ill our cell energy is lowered (40-50 mill...
