“If you have knowledge, let others light their candles in it.” - Margaret Fuller

We all have physical voices, but freedom of speech and the right to self-expression are rare privileges that aren’t necessarily available to other nations.

That is why we must use our voice for good even more.

To be able to use your voice and share your story is a chance to make someone feel that he or she is not alone. Although your life may seem ordinary to you, it may be extraordinary to someone else and sharing the story of your life may be a step in lifting others' lives.

Learning the stories about poverty and social injustice will remind ordinary people that they are capable of lifting someone’s life even through their smallest actions. Serving the poor and the differently-abled are some of the greatest humanitarian acts someone can provide for others in his or her lifetime.

In this episode, we’ve invited the CEO of Share Our Selves, Dr. Jay Lee, to share with us what the organization is doing especially during this pandemic. Share Our Selves is a nationally recognized health center providing high-quality, comprehensive safety net services to the Orange County community designated to provide healthcare for homeless providers. Good-hearted people like Dr. Lee are very special in this world because of their service to the people, especially the unprivileged.

Listen to this episode to learn more about Share Our Selves and to open your mind and be enlightened about how we can serve people living in poverty.

Florence Nightingale, the mother of nursing, has a theory called “Environmental theory” in which she believed that a healthy environment was fundamental for healing. A healthy environment means having clean water and air, basic sanitation, cleanliness, and light. This theory and her practices are still relevant up to these days and in fact our major weapon to fight against COVID-19. 

Air pollution is the world’s largest environmental health risk. It is linked to numerous death cases annually recorded. For this reason, it is important that the air we breathe is clean and safe from harmful pollution because clean air is essential for healthy lungs. 

Have you ever heard about airway hygiene? 

Dr. Dung Trinh is joined by Dr. David Edwards, Harvard scientist and inventor, to talk about airway hygiene and his invention named FEND. FEND is a new hygiene system that cleanses the upper respiratory airways to strengthen the immune system. It boosts the strength of the mucosal lining by washing the upper airways and eliminating airborne contaminants before they reach the lungs.

It is important to stay healthy and be mindful of the cleanliness of our environment especially in this pandemic. Though it seems we are at the tail end, we cannot deny that future pandemics of various nature are imminent. 

Listen to this episode to know more as we dig into airway hygiene, how it works, and its importance. 

Memorable Quotes:

• Placing salt on your respiratory airways and breathing it through your nose can reduce the number of respiratory droplets. - Dr. David Edwards
• Salt and water are in the air and they’re even more prominently in the air when you’re in the sea. - Dr. David Edwards
• When the virus heads up to the olfactory nerve it destroys the ability to smell. - Dr. Dung Trinh

Important Health Points:

• Droplet is the primary transmission of COVID-19 and is mostly coming out from upper airways.
• Water and salt coating our throat help our cilia lining to eliminate pollulant and virus, bacteria that invade our throat.
• FEND puts salt in your upper airways through inhalation.
• When you get a virus invading your throat, FEND may help your upper respiratory system "clean out" the offending virus
• A salty environment helps sanitize your upper airways.
