Optimum Health, ONwards
These past couple of years I have come to the terms that I am not invincible. Really… I’m not. All my life I have boasted of a strong immune system. I wonder where it travelled to.
Here’s my story, starting with “The Pneumonia”
Christmas Eve of 2019 saw me hale and hearty at noon one day and drowning in pneumonia by 7pm the same day. I was rushed to the hospital following 7 days at an all-inclusive resort in the Caribbean.
Although my labs and vitals looked good, my chest X-ray showed a potentially critical case of double lung pneumonia.
Since this was a few months before CoViD actually announced it’s spread, we did not push to ask if it was the new virus.
Antibiotics, inhalers, steroids, a few other drugs and 6 months later, my lungs did not make a complete recovery. Instead, the virus started manifesting itself in the form of deep muscular pain in my upper back, shoulders and arms.
The pain stayed put for a whole year adding exhaustion, inability to exercise and muscle wastage to the list of my troubles.
The Vaccine
Second part of the story is where it gets scarier. Needless to tell you, guys who have known me for a while now, the first shot of vaccines made everything go from bad to worse. I started keeling over with shortness of breath and ran into anxiety and panic very often.
Hospital trips drove me into deeper panic than the actual suffering itself. Not wanting to surrender myself to more experimental drugs, I decided to take the natural path. Although the healing might take over a year, I trust that my issues will be addressed from the inside out and not just symptoms suppressed.

- One healthy recipe a day – you can try these at home and enjoy the challenge more. (Modified: Healthy recipes whenever I am able to post. Sometimes my exhaustion levels are beyond me, so please forgive me if there is no recipe every single day.)
- One ingredient showcase a day – Learn about fruits, vegetables, herbs, seeds, spices and roots that you don’t normally eat or use in your kitchen and learn their health benefits. (same as above applies as I have finite amount of energies right now.)
- One medical focus or self care ritual per week with lecture. Hear from naturopaths and other alternative medicine practitioners about how to be prevent various illnesses.
- Walk the 250,000 steps challenge (Modified: Join walk challenge if you like. No pressure. I understand some of us find it hard to walk half of it. Participants will be accountable to themselves and each other over a Facebook group).
- And drink 2L of water everyday. Again, no pressure. You drink amounts you best fee right for yourself. Stay accountable to yourself.
Participants will be added to a Facebook group. Participants will be accountable to themselves and each other over a Facebook group. But remember, your journey is yours to walk. Nobody can walk it for you.
Participants will pay $49 to take part and proceeds after expenses will benefit two charities closest to my heart.
Yes, this started as Optimum health in October, but the momentum has been good and has been helping quite a lot of people and I felt like this would be really helpful for people I encounter in the future as well. So it has been extended by another month. If interest stays this will level off until December.
I am now a month deep into Ayurvedic protocol to fight this virus and have done pretty well so far. Another twelve months of these healing modalities won’t be hard. After going through the 6 months of pneumonia and 2 more months of post vaccine suffering, I have decided to live the rest of my life in pure gratitude.
This upcoming program which initially started out as Optimum Health October (OHO), is centered on an awareness of, and prayers for, those who have suffered, those we have lost, and everyone who has been touched by this energy vampire. Please join in to celebrate life and become more aware of how natural preventatives can be taken to become a stronger and healthier version of YOU.
