Vaccinations

I just wanted to drop a quick thought on vaccinations.  I am not a big fan of putting an illness into your body.  But I have capitulated to western medicine's conventional wisdom and started the cycle.  I had a polio booster and Hepatitis A/B last week and must say that I can definitely tell that my body is fighting something.  I have been lethargic, and disinterested in much running.  I spent a decent amount of time splitting wood yesterday and and was noticeably fatigued and even felt a bit sickly as it went.  It is amazing to think that this is of course for the better...

I just wanted to mention this in case anyone was reading this as a "how to" piece.  I would certainly say that you should be ready to spend a couple days before the vaccinations "being healthy" - good food, sleep, etc. - and then be prepared after words to take it easy and healthy again for a few days.  Most people may not notice it, but with my allergies/sensitivities, I have definitely noticed a difference.
