Reply #33: I use a neti pot several times a week to wash nasal passages

[DeschutesRiver]

Used to have "allergies" and couldn't take enough zyrtec/clartin/etc to even make a dent (late life allergy, is what the doctor told me). Started using the neti pot daily and haven't taken an allergy pill since (has been 3 years or so). I continue to use it on a regular basis, and can't recommend it highly enough. I used to buy solution; now I make up my own for pennies.

Am also taking Vitamin D since this swine flu deal came up in April. Have upped our Vitamin C, too. What is the problem with testing for Vitamin D and correcting any deficiencies found? The answer to that seems to be missing in some posts, only the warning to never take D because you will die from a toxic event. What is wrong with testing to check for deficiencies?

No colds, no flu, no nothing. I can't tell you that it is due to the D, C and neti pot, but it is something worth taking a look at if you aren't already doing so.
