In addition to the stuff the doc gives you, simmer gently some crushed fresh garlic closes in chicken broth for a bit (maybe 15 minutes) and add cayenne pepper to taste. Nothing nasty in your sinuses will stand a chance, I promise. G Tastes good, too, and makes you feel wonderful. Careful, careful with the ear infection. I know you have had a doc see it--if not, they can of course get to the point where the eardrum must be lanced. Not fun, and dangerous for the hearing. |

Nothing nasty in your sinuses will stand a chance, I promise. G Tastes good, too, and makes you feel wonderful. I went another direction - tomato broth with lots of garlic and hot pepper. *grin* I don't ned much encouragement to eat spicy food or lots and lots of garlic. Careful, careful with the ear infection. I know you have had a doc see it--if not, they can of course get to the point where the eardrum must be lanced. Not fun, and dangerous for the hearing. They can actually kill you. My dad, years ago, was hopitalized for an ear infection that had gotten so bad that it had moved inward and almost passed into his brain. It got so bad because he refused to see a doctor. I know better but this infection kind of snuck up on me - one day I was fine and the next I was *sick*. No warning headaches or tightness. Back to roses, my Granada is blooming. I had thought the blooms this summer weer beautiful, but these are incredible. It's like watching a tropical sunset. I am so glad that Shiva's talk about how gorgeous this rose is made me decide that I must have one! Also, interesting enough, one Double Delight is blooming up a storm and the other appears to be pouting. The one that is going gang busters is a bare root that I bought directly from J&P. The other is a potted J&P that I bought at Lowes on a whim. (I know it's a DD as it had blloms on it when I bought it and has bloomed since.) The Lowes rose was also twice the size of the bare root when I put the Lowes in the ground. However, the bare root now makes the Lowes look like a shrimp. Near identical conditions for the two roses so it's just "interesting" right now. Susan shsimko at duke dot edu |
