I am going dairy-free and gluten-free this weekend, possibly longer and I'm inhaling steam etc. I've also got hold of some manuka honey but I am going to look on-line.<br /><br />I'm just about to look at that Telegraph article on-line about the heart condition passed on. <br /><br />I needed to get my feelings out in the open and once they are I feel better as I don't want to be bottled up or difficult with the family but I do welcome your understanding.Alison Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15925733522772745541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6313619789867890776.post-42282209326881664512009-10-30T06:39:42.987-07:002009-10-30T06:39:42.987-07:00You have every right to rant but it cannot be good...You have every right to rant but it cannot be good for you.<br /><br />There is a good article on the front page of the Telegraph today. This concerns a heart condition passed on by an AI donor. You can read it on line, as well.<br /><br />With regard to your infuriating medical conditions, have you considered alternative therapies? I was a sceptic until a good friend who is a holistic practitioner helped me at a particularly stressful time. Massage and reflexology engendered a more tranquil state of mind and helped clear up the eczema that kept appearing. Ear candling relieved bad headaches. I persuaded a colleague with chronic sinus problems to try this and that is what she now does. <br /><br />Even some doctors acknowledge that alternative medicine has its place; ie peppermint oil and fennel tea are better for Irritable Bowel Syndrome than so-called conventional medicine. However, there are many "snake oil merchants" about; best to ask around for someone who is known to be genuine.<br /><br />All the best.<br /><br />Of course, there is camomile tea for sleep.josettetravellinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01991817147328019403noreply@blogger.com
