Flu Season

by George A. Crawford III

The swine flu, sinus infections, seem to be in the news a lot. I had contact with some college fraternity brothers 2 weeks ago and one of them said his wife had had a sinus infection before we went to his house to watch the football game and had some desert after dinner at a local establishment. The next day we played golf and went to a Royals game and had dinner in the crown club thanks to tickets from his employer DST here in Kansas City. The next night I had a sore throat and heavy sinus congestion. I have use the neti pot treatment for allergies and colds but had not used it to drain my nasal passage daily for the previous weeks.

I went to the drug store and bought more salt packets and some organic light honey. I performed the neti pot warm salt water through my nose and instantly felt like a zap of instant cure. I had some warm tea with honey and the next day my sore throat was cured. I still have a cough now 2 weeks later and some excess sinus congestion that is aggravated every time I go to the gym and exercise or jog outside which I have not done much because it makes my cough worse. It is still summer, we have had a lot of rain and no real hot days for a few weeks. I think this common sense simple cure for the symptoms I had, that I just researched my self and have seen written by Drs. on medical web sites is the best thing to do, better than expensive Dr. visits and medications. $ motivates a lot of Drs. they do not make $ with simple common sense things so they do not tell you easy common sense.

While I researched honey, I read that it clears up a persons skin from acne and buckwheat dark honey is high in anti oxidants and stimulates metabolism. I have been drinking a warm cup of some water with buck wheat honey and lemon with ginger every morning to help me get my metabolism going and I have lost weight with out going to the gym and working out daily which ussually makes me gain weight. I also have a spoon full of honey 2 or 3 times a day as it is suppossed to be very healthy. One other thing I have done is put light colored organic honey on my face wear I have acne black head problems and it has helped improve my skin. These simple ideas have never been told to me before in my 48 years and are better than any thing I ever paid $ money to a Dr. for. 

 I am writing this while I am soaking my feet and hand in water with bleach, that has cured my toe nail and finger nail fungas better than any thing Ibought from a Drs. prescription or over the counter at the drug store, SIMPLE EASY CHEAP AND WORKS BETTER.
