valley of the dolls

as I get older and still creakier, I'm taking more and more pills - cranberry, devil's claw, echinacea, cod liver oil. And now, at the suggestion of mogs61, I'm about to add glucosamine and chondroitin to the list.

to make life easier, I tipped a whole load of each pill into a bowl, and now we just dip into it morning and evening. But it does feel a bit ... druggy, somehow :)

No, echinacea is not pre-emptive like that, alas. I've been trying zinc this year, it does seem to have worked. I've had a bronchial infection, as per usual, but it's been mild, not really debilitating; it only occurred to me yesterday that I had in fact had the campus lurgy, along with everyone else, but so mildly that it didn't occur to me to link my almost insignificant symptoms with the major epidemic going round. The only thing I can point to that is different this year is the zinc.

interesting - I'll maybe give that a try.
