Hey Fever Has　NOT　Eaten Me Up (Yet) ! So, we are at the height of the hey fever across Japan with exceptions of rural areas, where, with vast lands of cedar trees that keep sending pollen to residential areas, a magic seems to be working to keep people away from this miserable state. I have just willed NOT to suffer the famous symptoms-- runny nose and incessant sneezes without taking any medication (whose theories I am disagreeing with right now)--and seems to be working a bit this spring. (Very little→) Yay! Whenever a doctor says something is incurable, I feel as if we all humans are a bit underestimated. It seems that, at the bottom of my heart, I have always believed in human capacity and creativity. So... why not are we able to correct reactions that one's own immune system produces? If not, I should have to seriously consider moving to the beautiful island of Yaku, a World Heritage site with its 3-to-7-thousand-year-old cedars. With tons of pollens that must have hit me during our 10-hour hiking there, my hey fever was "cleaned up" and felt healed!
