That's How Restored Health

As such, my dear readers,

I hold a PhD and two masters,

in biosciences,

earned over,

more than 20 years,

of hard labor.

I have numerous,

academic publications,

and science career.

But my biggest learning

came when,

we had a cockroach infestation

in our apartment.

My immune system,

sensitive to the

biological allergens

couldn’t handle it.

I watched helplessly

as one by one,

my systems,

began to complain.

I have one body,

and can’t abandon it,

that's my house.

I didn’t want to go down

the rabbit hole,

of modern medicine,

where pills given.

which might ease,

the pain

but will damage organs.

So, I took it as a challenge.

If I have studied,

for all these degrees

with dedication,

I should be able,

to find a solution.

Not all hunts are

for finding treasures,

but seeking healing,

is glorious too.

I began reading a lot,

medical literature,

did scientific research,

and published papers.

I kept looking

for the hidden answer

in plain sight.

And then, one day,

it came to me.

My spouse’s deodorant mist

wafted through the air,

and choked my windpipe.

My already inflamed body

was offended,

by the smell molecules.

Eureka, Eureka

I shouted,

and negotiated with my spouse

to avoid,

all unnecessary chemicals.

Let’s see how it goes,

I said.

It took three years,

of unfaltering discipline

to bring my health

back to normalcy.

But finally,

it was restored.

Hormones in balance,

I even had

two healthy children.

And now,

as I see people fall

to cancer, multiple sclerosis,

and autoimmune diseases,

I feel like a failure.

If your allegiance

lies with Kardashian-Jenner,

other such influencers.

and not with researchers,

you will have to suffer.

You have to respect,

the body’s manual,

minimize chemicals,

and avoid suffering.
