2: This is ok if there are TB germs entering in your body due to endemic diseases but as no germ enters our body, there is cold and fever formed in the body as a symptom of TB. 3: Salt: - Dr.Benedict was the house doctor for Monte de Guirim boaders. When complained of sore throat he would say "Gargle with salt water. We did not understand him at that time and had named him saltwater doctor. But today I am reminded of his medicine and often use it and It works wonders.. If your nose is blocked the simple medicine is take salt in warm water .Take it from one nostril and pass it through the mouth. jc's response Dear Albert, re 1 & 2: What nonsense is that?! re 3: While salt is a well known agent for symptomatic relief of a sore throat and nasal congestion, I can safely tell you that Dr. Benedito (who read medical publications voraciously and daily) was quite aware of the dangers of Rheumatic Heart Disease due to inadequately treated throat infections. We discussed it on numerous occasions over dinner when we were home for the holidays. I can say the same wrt the doctor who took Guirim over from Dr Benedito i.e. Dr Plino Sa Cordeiro. jc
