Guest guest Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Theresa in Vancouver. A couple of things you might try. Oil of Oregano might help. Read what they suggest for a dosage. Use it until you are feeling better and then stop. But the minute you start to feel like a cold is coming on . . . then start taking it. Oil of oregano is great to use to clean your teeth. LOL no more then a drop unless you really like hot food, as it is hot. I will wet my toothbrush and either put a drop on the brush or directly on my front teeth. Not only are you getting the benefits of very clean teeth, but you would get the active ingredients of the oregano into your system through the membrane in your mouth. Also you might try a castor oil heat treatment. Keep using these until your symptoms are gone. Rub good castor oil on your chest or area of concern and then put a towel over your chest. Put your heating pad on low and place that over the towel. Be safe and do not fall asleep with the heating pad on. Keep doing this until you symptoms are gone. Have you tried the Zinc and Vitamin C lozenges?

Inhalant allergies to kingdom come. Don't get sick often (knock on wood). Feeling bloated, can't wear my wedding rings any more, socks leave rings on my ankles. Fingernails are ok though (dd is envious I can grow them so long without breaking, no white spots). Sheila Bliesath StarGate Travel Phone: For more information on travel or becoming an agent info@...

I also had this problem during my last pregnancy, resolved after delivery. Interestingly, this symptom has both times coincided with sudden lactose intolerance, hair loss and water retention.<< Not weird at all. You have simply had a drop in thyroid levels when this happens. *Artistic Grooming * Hurricane, WV Fat cat? Diabetes?
