I already take vitamin C and E, and am adding the vitamin D as discussed here earlier. Keeping antioxidants up, immunity strong and mucus under control - sounds like a course I would find beneficial flu or not... <<<
“Mucolytic therapy<<<
Your vitamin plan sounds wise, and have you used the Muc. therapy?
Thanks for the information, wonder if it would interfere with what I am already taking, for I am hitting the hard times of too much mucus and not enough room for oxygen.

Granny, I should get it Monday or Tuesday... Will give you a report on how well it works. I am expecting it to work something like Mucinex which is Guaifenesin with hopefully a bit more punch... I am hoping it will work well with the Spiriva to help open things up. I mostly have trouble first thing in the morning and late at night, depending what the weather does.
On the Vitamin D, I had not thought about it before, but using the sunblocks just about shuts off the uV light from the skin which eliminates most of the vitamin D production. So supplementation is wise.
Oh, I did follow up on that Dr’s letter - it was legit - but he got in trouble because it appeared that the CDC wasn’t prepared enough with the Tamiflu which they were running out of. He wrote a letter to family and friends about it (and that is the one we saw) and he was somewhat critical of the Govt. for not reporting all - he did apologize if he created any hard feelings with the govt or CDC. Appears his recommendations were straight on though.
He is the Chief Emergency Room Coordinating Doctor for the Hospital there. So he should have a bit of knowledge on what’s up, and what to treat it with.
CDC response seemed to be that he may have been low on Tamiflu but they said they had more on the way. Also that he was not in a position to see the whole picture...
It does appear though that they are trying to not release all the information. If you look on the swine flu website that the govt. has up, it is way way behind on posting the numbers of confirmed cases. Checked it a while ago, and they still don’t have the 4 confirmed cases that were announced Tuesday in Delaware posted on their maps. Same with Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Georgia, where they show no confirmed cases, but the CDC has confirmed it locally.
Oh, that site I posted also has about 140 (i think it was) essential aromatherapy oils too. They looked to me to be reasonably priced, but then I don’t really know those prices. A few of them I had not heard of before.
Remember about a year ago when some people were saying that there would not be an African American in the White House till a pig could fly....... Well, 100 days into his administration and pig flu. LOL saw that on a joke page and couldn’t resist.
Well, Wife is off tomorrow, and we are going to Sam’s Club - want to get a couple of heavy duty shelving units for our overflow provisions, and pick up a few other storables. Then to the Mennonite bulk food store.
There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that I could go 12 weeks without outside provisions, but want to touch up on some of the niceties - just in case. Wife wants to stock up on hand sanitizer, gloves and masks too. She still has her scrubs from when she was doing ER admissions.
At times like these, I wish I were still a Federal CD Emergency Designee as I was in the late 60’s and 70’s. That was a pass to get just about wherever you needed to go. But those days are long gone...
