ehBeth, something I've noticed about the more militant proponents of "Alternative Medicine" is that they have sure-fire remedies for every possible ailment ... and they know they all work, because they take all of them, all the time.

Count me among the unmilitant - i haven't opened the valerian bottle, gave up on the echinacea, forgot to keep taking the red clover capsules, WON'T drink camomile tea ...

Well, go ahead and be among the unwashed, however note this... that cold which threatened me two days ago has disappeared.

Haven't looked at the UW's experiment, but most anyone who uses Echincea will say you won't get any good out of taking it while deep in the throes of the cold. It is at the moment when you realize you are aching, your head is pounding, and your throat has become inexplicably sore.... that is when one takes echincea. It is not a cure, it is a staving off of the otherwise inevitable.

And I only took two capsules, along with the zinc, et al. One that night, one the next morning.

It might help, margo, if you can get a kitten in the door. Barney has done wonders for this office.

An incredible recovery from the injury and he's fit himself into the office routine really well. He could pretend to like the owner of the business a little better - the rest of us do.

I like to go to stores where they have cats. Not so fond of retail dogs, but love cats. There was a huge black & white cat in the Chinese furniture store I was at in Seattle last Friday. The door was open, it could escape, but it was a clever cat and wandered around inside where it was warm. Quite friendly, too.

Love cats. Mine has just come in to the office to check if there is good heat coming up the register. Apparently there is.
