Great advise Marion! To add another remedy; when I was back in the US recently, I found a tea by Traditional Medicinals called Gypsy Cold Care. You can learn more at their website: www.TraditionalMedicinals.com
and...if I EVER wake up looking like the pic, perhaps I'll 'hit the road' to seek my fame & fortune!

I'll be 62 on Sept 8th and I worked so hard to recover from being a violent-crime victim - years of painful physical-rehab/therapy - painful tests and discouraging diagnoses - and I chose to fight against the "standard medicine" Big Pharma dogma & use holistic/acupuncture/exercise/yoga/vegan-diet/authentic living as primary care, vs. the opiate/opiods and passivity that the medical System was trying to foist onto me. My reward for regardining full mobility and managing pain without drugs? LOVING MY HEALTH COVERAGE. I worked like a mule to help get President Obama elected, for many reasons, but one of the main reasons was Obama's pledge to bring in full/universal health coverage with a PUBLIC OPTION. Now we see rightwing big-biz-interests hiring black-shirt/fascist thugs to break up health-reform public meetings - just like Mussolini's and Hitler's thugs did to brutally repress progressives back in their Nazi era.

Your feedback is very much appreciated, Alice. It helps to know what viewers like. You've gone through quite an ordeal without health coverage and I'm sure you worry daily that something may go wrong. The stress alone is debilitating. I admire you for actively taking charge of your health and seeking out alternative methods. This has probably lengthened your life. This is the route I chose too and it feels good to be medication-free.
Good for you for supporting Obama and helping him get elected. I believe you will be rewarded for this, even those who did not support him will benefit. Obama seems confident we will have health care reform by the end of the year. Because he initially wanted Single Payer, I am sure we will get some form of HR 676 and the public option as a choice. However it turns out, it will be better than what we have now. Marion
