I do agree. I am one who cannot tolerate pain...I hope I wouldn't have to

It is a normal function of the body, but, if there are digestive issues (which may be affected by what goes in the body such as medication, unnatural foods, etc.), then it will be "bad" or more often. The body then has a more difficult time processi...

It's a good thing Vitamin C has been discovered and used since! except by conventionals

I gave studies!... The effectiveness of vitamin C in preventing and relieving the symptoms of virus-induced respiratory infections. - PubMed - NCBI http://www.uofmhealth.org/health-library/hn-2929001 Alll kinds of studies! :)

I personally find 1000 mg a day does well, except in cold weather it varies. Vitamins vary for every unique condition, and there's no set "prescribed" amount that seems to obsess conventionals. It's a vitamin. They're need at different times and di...

It's easy to look up Vitamin C for one's self, it's not a prescribed drug, and I suggested it knowing how well it works for respiratory conditions, and for years. For that one's sake if she were interested enough she would do so. Vitamin C | Univer...

And, Re: "Who is this magical 4 bad flu episodes person you keep talking about? And once again, I ask you - did this person get tested for the flu, or is it an assumption that that is what it was? Having 4 difficult "flu episodes" in 5 years has li...

Re: Is it "respiratory problems all your life", or is it since you were pregnant. For real, pick one story and stick with it. It's both! :) Since a child, having bronchitis. This wasn't bronchitis but, one time I woke up with my throat closing, una...

Ixchel, if someone doesn't tell your sister nurse there that getting yet another vaccine, after 4 of 5 years of flu episodes almost putting her out despite being vaccinated, she may not survive this one, I am not the one who is "dangerous". You alo...

My "ivory tower"? I listened to conventional medicine for years, not questioning, assuming they're expertise, being on 4 asthma meds including steroids. I also "listened" and got the vaccine! But, then got the flu soon afterwards. I learned for m...

I'm sure you are well educated in your "science", but, reality is what speaks to me. Health has not improved in the last 50 years. It's only become more dependent on synthetic drugs that may take care of one thing, but cause 10 other ill-effects, ...

Are you speaking of children worldwide #s?. Because malnourished children can get deathly ill from a cold. Malnourished children need real food and nutrients. That's what keeps measles, the cold, the flu and most other infectuous diseases not so da...

Ok well, it supposedly "stopped the spread" of a mild childhood disease (not the plague) that we were encouraged to get, and be immune for life. It still didn't stop the 6 who were vaccinated from getting it, so no guarantees there either. And, as ...

Really, the odd thing is, the vaccine is not "guaranteed" from anything too. So, I actually don't know who's "protected" there either. Of course the unvaccinated are the first to blame with "blood on their hands". This is all becoming rather surr...

I suppose you all remember the "Disney 20". The biggest deal of how children not vaccinated got the measles (a once mild childhood disease we all got btw). Well, it wasn't a surprise that the 15 UNvaccinated got the measles. What was surprising w...

What harm is the vaccine causing?...well, for one, I would think the adjuvants injected year after year, have an effect. I never questioned anything for years, (like everyone else), but, it's alarming now how many toxic substances are going in vacci...

:) "And lived to tell the tale" ...and I'm glad you did too! I asked about doctors being vaccinated only because I heard one place they weren't (not in NY). Thanks Farawyn, was just wondering. Like your LOTR-like nic too lol

I do have a question. I know how many places are mandating vaccines for nurses. However, I heard they're not always mandated for doctors..or are they? Just wondering your thoughts on it if they're not.

Well, there's reasons I am "anti-vax". What were yours? There's reasons I like vitamins, because they work for me. I don't take them because someone told me to. I only tried them on a whim, and they worked, very obviously. Having outward health...

Re: Please forgive the rude, straightforwardness of this question, but why are you here on allnurses? I ask because based on your above statement, you clearly think nurses are idiots and our approach to evidence based practice is unfounded. You ar...

Ok, I did go to your link there, and it said a few times "Page not found". However, here's one that may give info too: Vitamin C | University of Michigan Health System Lots of studies that seem to confirm what I know there actually.

Maybe true, but, not in my experiences with "colds" and what I had that time...head ache, fever, chills, body ache, feeling of being hit by a truck all at once. Certainly not like any other beginning of a "cold" I've had. In any case, my fav vitami...

Of course his one experience doesn't "prove" anything to those who don't know how amazing Vitamin C is personally (as I do), but, nevertheless, I think it's worth mentioning. I've had many times the beginning of a cold, one time "flu-like" symptoms,...

:) I got asthma first as an adult, when 5 or 6 months pregnant with my first son. It wasn't too bad for years, just taking some theophyline (sp) once in a while, but, in my late 30s it progressed. On 4 medications, including steroids time to time....

ixchel...why did you change your pic? :)...and thank you for that lesson. I would like to say, Vitamin C is a natural antihistamine, and it has bein used on very serious cases (like your x-ray there) in one dying of influenza, and actually saved hi...
