I've been as sick as a poisoned dog for ten days, and counting. For ten days, I've had almost no solid food, or hardly any food at all. Much of this time, I just wanted to sleep, but even that proved illusive, thanks to a mild yet nagging headache, or a simple desire for orange or cranberry juice. Although I had these in the fridge, just to get to them would require half a day or more, such tremedous effort was required. Suck it up and weather the storm has always been my motto, and it certainly looks like I'm coming out of this. Just a few hours earlier, I couldn't even compose this message to you all. I must eat more heartily soon, to regain my strength.

Linh, in spite of the "suck it up" method, why not go to an emergency room? If it is viral, get an antibiotic - if fever, Tylenol. I hope you are better soon - Bob and Barbara's is waiting!

Fresh vegetables and fruit also olive oil will be a lot of help. Mediterrean type of diet also will be good for your health. Hope you will get better soon.

Hi Linh, Hope you are better soon!!! You are the best! Try taking 4000 UI Vitamin D3 and 2000 mg vitamin C. During these times it is a good precaution. Take it everyday, not just when sick. Major boost for your immune system! You can get it at any pharmacy or health food store. Cheers, Tom

Please go to a hospital. Don't take chances with your health.

hi linh,
sounds like you really needed a rest and detox. always best to listen when the body speaks. herbal teas will help if you can get them in your condition. best if gathered fresh. drink them all day long. ginger and turmeric sliced thin and boiled then simmered for an hour or so, then adding fresh squeezed lemon--excellent, and delicious. agree with advice above to get
tons of vit. d and c. and masses of sleep.
wish you well!

Trump got the regeneron etc which is now available most everywhere along with the steroids - you can get fixed up in Korean hospitals.

Friend of a friend in Northern VA said he rolled in sick and they similarly Trumped him - all better mostly.

I read this on Common Dreams - your old location so maybe a rub is in order:

"Massage therapy is a particular kind of undervalued labor, a treasured and ancient high skill; it is preventative and allopathic medicine. It is a form of medicine that helps millions of people"

Protect the Asians etc!

perhaps its the covid and we'll be required to use hand sanitizer and wear a mask when on your site?

I have been living vicariously through you and this site for several years now. Your absence has heightened my appreciation for your work even more.

Get well soon Linh.

Just discovered some of your writings today, sir and am grateful to Almighty God and to you for sharing the talented soulful insights you share. will add reading more of your works to my days of prayer.
Agree with caution about the E.R.these days, & personally chose to recover from 2nd degree burns at home with aloe and colloidal silver applications....
Pharmacies do deliver these days if you need something they have, although am confident you know about healing herbs and supplements

The body has a way of taking its repose when needed - and a week or two away from stress is a foretaste of Paradise.

please don't forget:
Americasfrontlinedoctors.org does respond to an email-through-their-website within a day or two vis an individual televisit by phone; their MD provides an Rx that does no harm.

God love you - you will be in my daily Rosaries.

Thank you thank you thank you��

Hi Linh we're worried about you. Hopefully, we'll hear from you soon, after a full recovery. It's what I, and so many others, want to hear, because you've touched us all with the spirituality of facing reality. You might like to hear that one of your essays is featured in the April 2021 issue of Coldtype. Getting your words out.
Best wishes.

Linh, I am glad to hear you are on the mend! Hang in there!
