The kids won’t let me put the thieves oil or oregano into the diffuser. They say it makes them throw up, nonsense. But I can say that when you use it on the soles of the feet, you don’t need any carrier oil. I tried it on my chest and it burned a bit, so you do need a carrier oil for use on the chest. But on the soles of the feet, after they have lain down for the night, you can apply the drops right into the skin.

Current vaccine might be 10% effective and is a waste. Wife got one and I passed - both got same cold (fairly severe but not like actual Flu) - plus I heard a new version of the Flu was circulating in places. Always a crap shoot and I pass on the shots more often than not over the last 25 years and never had what i would call real Flu in that period - I usually get more “colds” and other ailments, that hit harder and last longer in years I have the shot.

The original estimate was 15% now it’s changed to 10%, CDC got this years vaccine totally wrong.

There is a TAMIFLU warning, it has killed 1 child.

Depending on your health and age, NEVER take more than the single dose vaccine, the 1 for seniors and health compromised is a TRIPPLE dose..which is DUMB as they are already health compromised, and reactions are higher to the Triple or Double dose Flu vaccine.

Hmmm. Well I’m only 70 so I’ll have to watch out for when I get to the senior citizen stage. ;-)

On my own person [body], I would apply and rub a very thin layers of Thieves onto my wrists,
the ankles,
behind both the ears,
along the Jugular veins/ Carotid arteries up and down the lateral sides of the neck
and even inside the curve of the lower back/ Lumbar spinal cloumn.

I think I’ve got bronchitis now and we both still have the flu. Her doctor tested her today and told her she should he all through by Friday. If I’m not better by tomorrow afternoon I’m going back to the doctor. Thanks for your concern. How about you?

I got out of bed for first day (in 5) yesterday. Cough is a problem...the breathing exercise helps, but so does some Robitusson...and Oregano oil, and other herbal stuff like Elderberry and Ossiccillium sp...I’m throwing everything at it I can. Lucky no doc visit yet. Rest seems to be the thing. Trying to prevent the husband from getting it now. Hope you’re on the mend soon.
