Swine Flu and Responsibility

···Just a quick thought.
···I know everyone is tired of reading about the “swine flu”, but it does give us an opportunity to think about responsibility in Daoism.
···Unless you have an immune disorder, your health is your responsibility. Healthy people don’t get sick.
···If you get sick, it means you haven’t been taking care of your health. I know society teaches us to believe that sickness comes from outside sources, but that’s not really true. If your national security isn’t in place, you are inviting invasions, and the same is true of your immune system.
···Go to your nearest independent health food store, and at least stock up on vitamin C. It’s cheap, it’s safer than water (no one has ever drowned in it), and if you take a lot of it your immune system will be much stronger. It’s more effective than anything the Western medical system has ever come up with.
