Oh yummmmmmy.....apple cider vinegar! Mixed with a little blackstrap molasses and slurp a couple of spoonsful on down! Seriously - I kinda liked the stuff. Course I like sour. (I'm just so sweet, I have to take in sour foods just to keep in balance! LOL) Don't know why I got away from it other than I kept forgetting to get some more. Stevia and agave are also good sweeteners and stevia seems to just now be coming into general supermarkets. Used to be able to get it only at the health food stores. Don't have to use much and yes, they are natural. So is honey which is excellent natural antibiotic. Did you know it never spoils? Bacteria can't grow in it. It may crystalize but it's still good.
When I feel that tickle in my nose or throat like I may be trying to come down with something, I break out the zinc+C lozenges (brand name Cold-eeze but there are store brands too). Usually stops "whatever it is" dead in its tracks. Jane reminded me of the tip of gargling warm salt water a couple times a day as well as swabbing out the nostrils with salt water too. Bacteria doesn't like saline. (Kept me away from the buggies that the g'kids and hubs kept trying to give me the last few weeks).
Brain drained...tired tonite....but maybe that means sleep!

Hideeho Karol!!!! Just poppin' in to say Kowboy has nosebleeds every year once the onset of cold weather arrives. It never fails and drives him to distraction!!!
Don't know if this is some kind of weird cold weather thing that happens to some folks, only know it sure smacks him around. Hope your dilema is short lived
and you have lots and lots of kleenex!!!!
