Guest guest Posted January 18, 2001 Report Share Posted January 18, 2001 I wouldn't say that these are "necessary," but here are the vaccines I got before going to Mysore: Hep A, Typhoid, malaria pills. My stomach completely rejected the malaria pills. Australian-strength, natural insect repellent like Green Ban works fine to ward off mosquitoes at dusk. One is more likely to contract the common cold and respiratory infections brought on by pollution in the city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2001 Report Share Posted January 18, 2001 Can't help but wonder: how can the country that gave us this wonderful yoga system still be abounding in so many diseases? <br>Diseases mostly related to poor hygiene? Unreal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2001 Report Share Posted January 18, 2001 You are absolutely right. I wouldn't go there. You probably lose more (health) than you would gain by going there. And isn't that what is really most important? Isn't that one of the main reasons for doing yoga? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 19, 2001 Report Share Posted January 19, 2001 why would you not want to take those preventative steps? hepatitis, tetanus, all those illnesses are much easier to prevent than to treat. why take an unneeded risk?

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2001 Report Share Posted January 21, 2001 in regard to why not take the preventative steps. thats a good question. and if i didnt hate shots i probably wouldnt think twice. but there are people who question the safety of vaccines, what they may do to your body, what theyre made of etc. granted, most of the anti vaccine material i've seen isn't very impressive. but i am hesitant to automatically buy into anything thats supported by the big business/government/insurance company machine.
