Nasty head cold knocked me flat on my back for most of 2 days. It was ridiculous to be unable to wake up except to piss for 36 hours. Oh, and as colds are wont to do, it won't completely let go for another week or so.

You need to get one of these and use it.

After suffering through several sinus infections (one that prompted my doctor to order a CAT scan), I've been using this on a regular basis and have not had a single problem since.

Send me an email and I can tell you more, if you're interested.

P.S. And, yes, I saw it on Oprah.

I had the beginning of what felt like a sore throat last night. Drank a couple of shots of brandy with a touch of honey (warmed in the microwave) before I went to bed.

I'm fine today.

Gotta take Airborne. (HUA!!) I take it almost everyday and NEVER get a cold.

Humans are so weak.

A garden hose will do the same thing.

Yock yock.

Seriously, don't knock it til you've tried it. It's made a world of difference to me.

P.S. this works with gravity not with pressure.

Actually, I'm probably picking up a pot this weekend. I've had anosmia for a couple of years now due to sinus problems, and have heard good things about neti pots.

And I just bought one at the local grocery store. Thank goodness you can find hippie stores all over Vancouver.

I'll let you know how it goes when I try it out tonight, Ara.

Dude, that is a weird feeling. The strangest part is after the pot is empty, and you're still draining.
