Do Not Depend on Stinkin Thinkin to Mend

This entry was posted on by

I earlier broached the subject of spot-on thinking to guide actions to maximize wellbeing correctly. I don’t want to overstate its importance but I do believe belaboring the topic is impossible. More is important in avoiding possible mistaken guidance. Seek wisdom says the Bible.

We make hundreds of decisions each day about what to wear, eat, buy, watch, invest, sell, and others but nothing is as important as the decisions we make regarding our health! Be careful with those!!!

Self-realization in health matters is the understanding and fulfillment of a superior well-being state. Don’t assume your health is better or worse than it is ─ be accurate. Look carefully at what others your age do mentally and physically to compare.

Motor vehicle accidents are an enormous problem. Last year, according to the CDC, over 32,000 drivers were killed and over two million were injured. 712 traffic-related serious injuries result every day. The United States has double the number of traffic deaths as do other developed countries. The Houston area is among the most deadly of the metropolitan areas. Although, Texas ranks in the middle of states with 9.1 deaths per 100,000. THE DEADLIEST is Wyoming with 20 deaths per 100,000.

Antibiotics for a Cold Should be Better Controlled

A close acquaintance that went to a Doc with clear symptoms of a common cold got treated with antibiotics recently which prompted this missive. They had taken the antibiotics for four days without any relief. SURPRISE! SURPRISE! In one huge recent study, of almost 200,000 patients with colds, about half were given unnecessary antibiotics.

The cost of the appointment and antibiotics were certainly a waste! Antibiotics can control bacteria and yeasts, not viruses. The reasons for not prescribing are much more important than money. The dreaded bacterial resistance to antibiotics results from overprescribing because bacteria in our bodies adapt by becoming resistant and when these outlaw bugs do cause infections they do not respond to the normal medicines. This can allow people with resistant strains to infect others in hospitals and even doctor’s offices with potentially fatal bugs.
