Hi everybody. A lot of research seems to show that there is a higher incidence of MS in people from the North latitudes *because* they do not get enough sunshine. It is vital that we all supplement, unless you have a job where you're outside all day. There is an easy blood test that will

Hi Linda ~ You mentioned that your doctor suggested sinus irrigation and it reminded me of something that I need to order! It's called a Neti Pot and it's used for sinus irrigation at home. You use salt water in it..I would just google Neti Pot and see what comes up. I think
