No, because we often do what we do. Easier to focus on how one cooks one's food. Maybe one person will say "aha" and steam instead of fry. My kids love fried food, so I fry stuff a lot. And it looks really good so I often eat it too... I managed to resist eating fried food and dairy while I had a cold. Maybe it helped.

Each winter I stave off sickness longer than most, and I attribute that to my exercise routine and the water I drink. But the sleep factor is difficult, and my body finally gives in. I am trying to do better this year. It's just the phase of my life where time is not abundant.

I'd never heard it before. And I agree, it is very hard to know what to believe. One day margerine is good and butter is bad, the next day, the reverse. One day the stock market drops 1,000 pts, the next day it's up 1,000. Crazy! I appreciate the information. I’d never heard it before. And I agree, it is very hard to know what to believe.

There are all sorts of scary stories out there: you find the political ones, I seem to stumble on some of the health ones. I don't know whom to believe on anything anymore. Just read and ask questions. Gail, I didn’t know how you would respond to that.

Haven't had the flu since I began doing so (in 2001). Doesn't help for colds, of course. For those, I take advil and tea with honey.

This is an excellent health practitioner. He helped my daughter and my son, and my father sees him regularly. The homeopathic remedy we got from him seems to be working; I can breathe again!
