Hey all,

It has been a while since I've posted on. and Suzi I recognize

of course. I've had a tough time since I moved to SC. The Whole

Foods, and Earth Fare stores look at me funny when I ask for things

that were staples up North. For instance horseradish root. I

special ordered it once and Earth Fare charged me $25. and it was

partially rotted.

Okay, let me get to the point. I'm sick, and the little money I made

this week went (all of it) to a clinic doctor (whom I'm thinking now

is probably at the clinic because his license was suspended.)The

doctor only did a strep test, no meds, nothing (oh yeah, he wanted to

give me a steroid shot and I refused.) I told the Dr. that I know I

have an upper resp. and my throat is very sore. I'm lightheaded and

I'm very concerned about my ears too, if I don't catch infections

fast I end up with excrutiating pressure until I can get to an ENT to

pop my ear. The Dr tested me for strep. Since I don't have strep he

refused to do anything.

The chiropractors I have found here can't help either - I had a chiro

up home that used to treat on patients when they had upper resp

infections - the ones here don't know anything about that - they have

never heard of muscle testing or applied kinesiology. Maybe I just

expect too much from these people. After all it is a small town.

But I'm sick and I can't find a doctor that has even heard about

doing vit C IV drips ultra sound on the sinuses, energy balancing,

etc. I'm exhausted trying to find things to make my own remedies.

Here in Chas SC the produce is of poor quality, expensive and not

much variety. I can only find jalapeno peppers and ginger root so I

can't do the remedies. Please give me some ideas. Will it hurt to

put peroxide in my ears? Should I use apple cider vinegar for ear

drops? How can I keep fluid from accumulating behind my drum? I'm

drinking water like it is going out of style, chloryphyll,

acidophilus, vit C, and a multivitamin powder, green tea, breath easy

tea. I'm taking Lysine too in case it is viral. Help. Any ideas

please. I'm so drained and I have to go out each day and find

whatever work I can to make the rent so I can't be sick.
