Hi Jack and list, > I've been waiting for the flames to die down before I jumped into > the foray. I guess there is a certain segment that needs to vent > themselves.
Since I took part in that discussion, I guess I'm partly responsible. Although I wouldn't consider what I wrote to be flames, I know I kept the thread going a little longer. If anyone was hurt or discomfited by it, please accept my sincerely apology. > Personally I would prefer to exchange anecdotal stuff back and forth and > ignore the ignorant. Certainly! So here's a couple of observations and a question... Just as I was making my first few batches of CS, Rose began to feel a cold coming on. She had seen the information I was coming up with and was satisfied that the stuff isn't dangerous, so decided to give it a try. She took a couple of ounces twice a day for the duration of the cold. Her symptoms were typical of a cold, including 2-3 days of intense runny nose, itchy eyes, sinus congestion, etc. But, after 7-10 days it had run it's course. So what's the big deal? Well, this is the first time in as long as we can remember that the cold did not lead to a secondary infection and a cough that would hang around for 4-6 weeks. When the virus was through, that was it. As for me, I've been taking various dosages since mid-April. I've had a bout with allergies (unusual for me in the spring), but no colds, coughs, bronchitis, or strep throat. No scientific study, but a good start. If I can go 6 months without getting sick, and especially if my usual August bout with hay fever is diminished, I'll be really impressed. Now a question: Have you noted any cramping in the lower abdomen after initiating or increasing your dosage of CS? It has happened twice to me, and lasted a couple of hours. It might be just an upset in the flora, but I would like to know if anyone else has felt anything like it or has any ideas. > Do I give a rats rumper crack as to why? Not! The beauty of > wholistic medicine is that which works, works. So it does. Thank you, Jack. Mike [Mike Devour, Citizen, Patriot, Libertarian] [[email protected] ] [Speaking only for himself... ]
