Hi Carol,
I also came down with the same bug (Sunday too at the family Christmas
gathering! <G>), and taking regular CS doses.  I sprayed some CS in my
nostrils, (they were burning from the congestion already so the usual burn
of water in the nose didn't bother me) and that seemed to help.  I also put
CS in the vaporizer.  I put some tea tree oil and eucalyptus oil on a cotton
ball to help clear the sinuses.  Tea tree oil is another good
antibacterial/antiviral agent, but can't be taken internally.  High doses of
Vit C, echinacea and extra amino acids seemed to help too.  But most
important for me was realizing that I had pushed my whole system prior to
the holidays and now my body was telling me in no uncertain terms that it
deserved a break, (along with a reason to chill out), and manifested this
flu.  So hold tight and get yourself a good book, hot tea with lemon and
honey and relax.

To a healthy and happy Y2K!
Beth

    Well, guys, in spite of daily doses of CS, I have the nastiest flu.  I
also have that "cough".  I have upped my dosage and am going to bed.  This
has been gong on since Sunday.  Just shoot me.
