we have deliberately stayed away from pop culture tamilflu
- in fact, generally, as policy, keep and in this flu instance kept away from all western medicines
- stayed true to traditional chinese and indian pharma formulations, and traditional chinese gua sha
- more than happy with the result within the first hour until the first 168 hours
- had no trouble sleeping since first night's gua sha to rid of the cough

we are done with the class-a flu and all are back to normal

i can see
- the flu can be highly disruptive due to its infectious nature and the media hype around it
- disaster if not treated early and allowed to roost
- disaster for the supposedly strong who would behave as if they are truly strong
- the western medicine that treat certain symptoms (head ache, cough) could well prove to be a disastrous path to worsening everything

otherwise, so far, no big deal.
however the taste of our doctor prescribed traditional medicines are barely tolerable, and eating an unripe lemon would be easier

coconut is bouncing around and off of the walls, but not likely to jump off of buildings

i suspect that the trouble with the japanese is that, in the aggregate, they forgot the best of the east and internalize the worst of the west, and that they are wealthy in capital, poor in spirit, liquid on cash, poor on flow. as in the case of a human body, about as bad as all done in and just marking time. sunday election may make a difference, possibly throwing out the war criminal and yakuza-thug party saved and empowered by team usa; but since too many false dawns, let us hold judgement :0)
