I try to live a healthy life. As a Certified Ayurveda Practitioner and Herbalist that owns a holistic wellness spa I try to incorporate my knowledge into my everyday life. I grow my own vegetables, fruits, herbs and medicinal plants. Even gorgeous gemlike purple potatoes such as these!
I raise my own hens. I teach others how to use nature in their favor.
Then I got vaccinated. I’m not an anti-vaxxer. I believe there is some good in allopathic medicine, but I felt firmly opposed to the Covid vaccines. Too new, not enough data, too scary. mRNA seems like a sci-fi nightmare to me. Johnson’s vaccine seemed to be the safest considering it was made with adenovirus. Yes, the company has a bad reputation but we will leave that story for another day, but it felt the safest choice for myself.
Even though something in me told me not to go against my instincts and beliefs I felt I had to do it.
Social pressure mixed with fear.
7 family members dead in 2 weeks.
Fear of the what if’s.
What if I caught Covid, what if I gave it to my family, or my clients, what if I can’t reopen my business or travel to see my family? Because, vaccine passports are real! They may not be mandated but some places will enforce them. So many what if’s!
So I violated my beliefs and off to the vaccination office I went, like a lamb to the slaughterhouse. Worse of all with my family in tow because they saw me do it so they did too.
The side effects were horrid, chills and pain non stop. I was glad I only would have to go through this once. The next day I felt great and I felt like a glimmer of normalcy and hope was coming back to the world.
Until yesterday.
The big announcement that J&J had to be pulled from the shelves was all over the news. Thrombosis. And although realistically speaking the chances of these side effects are slim (and I having silicone implants and get Botox and fillers obviously put worse things in me) it’s scary!
When I put my fear aside and calmed my anxious worries I realized the risk was very low, extremely low, 1 in a million. No medicine comes without risk. And I could not undue what I already did.
I also am convinced big pharma makes more money using 2 vaccines on us versus 1. It’s always about money
I really feel that’s the case right now.
And I also feel these vaccines will become mandatory.
Did I make a good choice?
I feel I did. As for any future side effects only time will tell. I will not worry about what I can’t change now.
Now to hit the restart button and begin to heal myself once again.
May your home be filled with warmth, your pantry full and may you always have good health!
