Well my now just a cold bug still hangs in there, 1 wk tomorrow.  I started taking a nasal/sinus decongestant.  A dr I had yrs ago said constant hacking and severe coughing is your body's way of trying to rid itself of the virus & if you start by decongesting the nose/sinus it will work it's way thru the throat, etc.  So earlier today I started a decongestant & I have to admit there might be something to this.  So we'll see by tomorrow.My niece is in town with her new baby & I so so want to see her but also I'll not subject a 5 month old to any risk of picking up a bug. Update on the Naturopath scenario.  I never thought that there might very well be something to what we were discussing.  I started taking the dosages of vit E & C.  The licorice root I don't take as often as he said as I'm just not comfortable abt that one somehow, don't understand why though.  I have to admit I've had no pelvic pain for a while now & my wrists are at least 75% better then they were.  I'm even starting to notice improvements in the intestinal/bowel issues.  I still take my Omega 3-6-9, won't give that one up. So is it just the implementation of these extra supplements.  I like to think it's the power of The Secret, the supplements & most of all assistance by our Lord. So I'll keep everyone posted. A very blessed, peaceful & happy easter.
