I can't say I understand the chemistry but those southern Med people must have been doing something right and you clearly know all about it. What I don't understand is these new and apparently sudden, claims that eggs contain Omega 3. All eggs, or only from hens fed a special diet? I read Judith's 'reference' for you and felt a strong and instantaneous twinge of guilt as I recalled the bacon sandwich I had for breakfast! -- Sachahttp://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk Ordinary eggs contain little or no w3 but there are 2 makes, of which one is called 'Columbus eggs' (from hens fed on a special grain diet devised by a Belgium group) which contain relatively large amounts of w3 oils. They are produced in UK and are widely available. That was Edward speaking and not me JudithL |

Fiona has a rule that she will always change her clothes and shower when she returns home and she will not put her "dirty" clothes in the same laundry bag as as the family. JudithL |

Sacha, Arran Aromatics do an 'Olive Oil' soap, and it's very good. It might be easier to source... http://www.arranaromatics.com/listra...e=APOTH&rangeS ubID=6 Many thanks, Anne. A LOT easier, I should think. It might be interesting to get both and compare, though.

On Jan 27, 12:38 am, Anne Jackson wrote: eI remember my grandma using almond oil, but that may have been her 'cure' for earache? (It *was* a long time ago...) -- AnneJ Our Grannies knew a thing or two about cures when there was nothing else available. Almond oil is a great carrier for other oils that are too strong to use by themselves i.e. lavender oil. I can remember a very small onion, like a cocktail onion, being boiled and the very small kernel in the centre being put into my ear for earache - I have never heard that from anyone else so I don't know if that was just Granny's solution or if others used it.

It's a pity the rest of the NHS isn't as hygienic as your daughter. In an ideal world they would all be showering and leaving their working clothes at work. I never came home wearing my clean room clothes. -- Martin When I first entered the Health Service ***** years ago, I worked in Haematology and worked with patients with blood diseases. I would spend part of my day putting patients onto a cell separator which involved cannulating them so that their blood circulated through this machine. In those days, when I left the ward, I took off my white coat and put it into the laundry bag and then went to put on my outside clothes before leaving the hospital. Nowadays, you see youngsters getting into their cars in white coats! When I took a lunch break, I would always take off my white coat before entering the canteen and so did all my colleagues, it was common sense. JudithL |

..Isn't it normal to isolate patients with MRSA? It didn't appear to be in one hospital where my daughter has worked, they didn't even inform all the staff that worked in the wards where there were patients with MRSA. -- Martin- I'm afraid that I know nothing about ward work now as my work is totally related to postgraduate education. I can remember my late Father telling me about his little brother who was operated on at home by a surgeon in the 1930's and that the surgeon told Granny at the time that he was safer at home than in the clinic.
