Guest guest Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Sorry Jeanie, I think that is the nature of the yahoo groups - it's sometimes easy to read something from a long time before and not even realize it.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 We use homeopathy for everything too. Lately, I'm using essential oils for coughs. Have you tried essential oils? A couple of drops of eucalyptus oil mixed in a carrier oil and rubbed into the bottom of the feet will stop a cough - so great for sleeping through the night. I add thyme oil if it sounds like it's getting deeper into the chest. You could just use Toms of Maine vaporub on the feet too - it's not made of petroleum like Vick's. Carol We don't do standard OTC cough syrups, instead relying mainly on homeopathic formulas. To the best of my knowledge Chestal by Boiron does not have any PEG. It's what we use and what helped me get through this weeks nasty cold. Obviously it's harder with kids but there are many other possibilities available in your health food store or on line in places like Vitacost.com.

Citracal brings you a new bone health supplement that not only helps maintain bone strength, but unlike other leading calcium brands, has Genistein, an ingredient found in nature in soy, which has been proven to significantly increase bone density by up to 5%.*> > IT CONTAINS:> > Calcium to fight osteoporosis > Vitamin D for unsurpassed absorption > Plus Genistein, an ingredient found in nature in soy,> which has been proven to significantly increase bone density by up to 5%.* > > Supplement FactsDirections: Adults: Take two tablets twice daily with food or as recommended by your physician, pharmacist or health professional. > > > > > > > > Serving Size: 2 tablets > > > Amount Per Serving > % Daily Value > > Vitamin D> 400 IU> 100%> > Calcium (elemental)> 600 mg> 60%> > Magnesium> 50 mg> 13%> > Zinc> 7.5 mg> 50%> > Copper> 1 mg> 50%> > Manganese> 2 mg> 100%> > Molybdenum> 75 mcg> 100%> > Boron> 250 mcg> *> > Genistein> 27 mg> *> > *Daily Value not established.> > INGREDIENTS: > Calcium Carbonate, Calcium Citrate, Polyethylene Glycol, Magnesium Oxide, Croscarmellose Sodium, Genistein (Soy Isoflavone), Manganese Gluconate, Hypromellose, Titanium Dioxide (color), Zinc Oxide, Magnesium Silicate, Copper Gluconate, Molybdenum Amino Acid Chelate, Sodium Borate, Magnesium Stearate, Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) .
