From:
The Scalpel and the Soul by Allan J. Hamilton, M.D.
The
word "patient" derives its meaning from the Latin adjective
patiens, which literally means "one who endures."
Patience is the only reasonable answer to all the questions we
project out into the Universe from our quiet, mortal solitude:
"Why? Why am I here?
At first, the only response we receive is: Wait! Just wait! Wait
patiently. Wait earnestly. Wait like a stone. Wait as long as it
takes. Then wait some more. But the Universe has a soft
spot for those who demonstrate they can endure. The heavens
draw closer to those who show they can wait ... [The heavens] seek
those who can sublimate themselves till they see their own life as a
metaphor for the infinite ebb and flow of the galaxies. Patient
souls are rewarded with a glimpse of interstellar patience, drawn in
the dust from God's own hand.

Astragalus
can help prevent colds and flu
Frequent hand washing is still the best way to ward off colds and
flu, but Dr. Andrew Weil also suggests fortifying your immune system,
eating right, getting enough exercise and sleep, and managing
stress. In addition, consider taking astragalus daily throughout
the fall and winter.
Astragalus is an herb long used in Chinese medicine to increase
resistance to disease. It works by enhancing immune function by
increasing activity of several kinds of white blood cells and
boosting production of antibodies and interferon, the body's
antiviral agent.
A typical dose is 1,500 mg a day of astragalus root extract in
capsule form. Because of astragalus's immune stimulating
properties, people with autoimmune diseases or transplanted organs
should consult a physician before taking the herb.
