"anti-biotics-resistant" virusesAntibiotics don't work on viruses anyhow ---they're only good against bacteria.

Maybe we've become "too-clean", we limit exposure to common colds and flus, we prevent our immune systems from having a rich mixture of antibodies to many viruses and bacterias ----which I think give you some cross-immunity, even if not complete if you've been exposed to one form of a virus, it can mutate and you'll have a mild illness because you have some less-specific antibodies to protect you while you make more specific ones.

Fluid builds up in body cavities, both thoracic and abdomen. It seems like bed-rest would be bad then ---I'll follow my grandfather's advice ---when he had a bad pneumonia in his 70's he insisted on going to work and sleeping sitting upright in his chair at night. He said laying down was the worst thing to do because the fluids don't drain and your lungs fill up and you die ---working and getting out moving around also help you clear the fluid build up. He didn't miss a day of work and he quickly recovered.

LOL! Ya, that's the story I had in mind when I stopped taking SeaSilver. One bottle was enough!
Thanks for the confirmation!

It was sort of neutral. It leaned con if you are one of those who thinks oil of oregano is a panacea. It was pro if you think it's snake oil.
It basically said that those who are hawking it as this incredible miracle cure are paid by the same people who produce it. But it also said it has some positive qualities, some of which are still being researched.
What's webtv?

I saw a woman who is permanently silvery gray in color from taking that stuff (colloidal silver). I would be VERRRY careful. It was a strange sight.

You can still get sick while you drink tea, I never said it would prevent getting sick. The point being that it boosts immune function, it scavenges free-radicals (compounds which cause deterioriation within the body) and improves lipid blood chemistry. Odds are if you have been drinking tea for some time, then just imagine if you hadn't been drinking it - the sickness you describe would have been even worse!!
Remember, I only said that you should not understimate the amazing power of the T (Tea).

>It would be a good idea to not buy Chinese goods
Great minds think alike...
I just bought two pairs of jeans,
and I carefully
checked out the fine print
to make sure the blue jeans were
not "Made In China."
