		<description>Selfishly hoping that you will be well for the concert in Muskoka.
For a man who eats nutrition bars, and drinks vitamin water.......I suspect you do not have a tin of dry mustard in the house. But if you did, you might mix it with equal parts water and flour and then put the paste on your chest. I also suspect it will smell awful - even to the dogs. If you have sensitve skin don't bother.</description>

		<description>Okay, I realise I'm going on here but I have to......

I've had clients come back and tell me:
a) their cholestrol levels returned to normal;
b) they're no longer taking HRT drugs for menopause;
c) their colitis is a non issue;
d) their blood pressure returned to normal levels;
e) they feel overall healthier!

These are REAL PEOPLE coming and telling me the effects they've experienced after taking the supplement that I have been taking for 10 years now ~ and nothing else.

Bottom line ~ EAT NUTRIENT DENSE FOODS ~ chronic illness or not, it will have a positive impact on your overall heath!

Sent with much care....</description>

		<description>I hear ya Matt. I don't think anyone really understands chronic illness unless they have one. Even I don't understand it completely, but I watch my husband deal with his Crohn's and the havoc it puts on his body and mind. He gets so sick of being sick and there is nothing he can do about it. What's worse is he has a spot of Cancer in his chest now from the countless ct scans and x rays he's had over the years. So now he has the 5000 pound man sitting on his chest all the time, while the usual Crohn's torment takes care of the rest of him. Most people just don't understand because its just so distant from the happy little lives that they live.

The first time in a long time that he actually felt good was on his birthday. I didn't know what to get him since he was so sick he couldn't do much. So I bought him an all day package at a spa. While I was thinking it was such a girlie present- he came back and said it was the best present ever. 

Now, I don't think you are "rich", but you may be one of the lucky ones able to book yourself in once a week, for half an hour or all day if you have time.</description>

		<description>Alright, assuming you have no interest in checking out my website I'll say this: you are what you eat.  If that's true, then eat nutrient dense foods for high antioxidants which help your immune system.  That would also apply to smoking, what goes in, must come out...the illness.

		<description>Yuck, excessive heat makes any illness worse.  Truly do hope you feel better soon.  I mean, I'm sure you'd  completely rock the 'surgical mask' look for your upcoming shows but some may say that is taking the Hospital Music theme too far.  

Take your meds and rest: your immune system will comply to the best of it's ability.  Be well.</description>

		<description>[quote comment="62546"]&lt;blockquote&gt;
Bronchitis: Latin (maybe greek) translation - inflammation of the bronchioles or bronchiole tubes

Neither one is a bacteria, hence, antibiotics are useless. (that is unless your cough is from a bacterial infection)
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Actually, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_bronchitis" rel="nofollow"&gt;many cases of bronchitis are from bacteria&lt;/a&gt;.  I usually get it once a year, and almost always get prescribed erythromycin or azithromycin.[/quote]

Duane: right about the antibiotics. The ones you mentioned are actually the more expensive ones that are often used to treat symptoms that have not responded to other lesser antibiotics, such as amoxicillin and doxycyclin. 

Acute bronchitis can sometimes result from a viral infection, and people who smoke or suffer from chronic bronchitis are highly succeseptible to bacterial infections. In that, I am not sure which comes first- the chicken or the egg. Not sure whether bacteria actually CAUSES bronchitis or just exaggerates and perpetuates the already existing symptoms of the bronchitis itself. I am sure some forms of bacteria can bring on a bout of acute bronchitis, but not chronic.

In my case, bacteria did not cause my bronchitis. Environmental factors, and my asthma did, as I had always suffered from inflammation of the bronchioles. As a result of having such a condition, I was often plagued by bacterial infections, because i was not able to rid the mucus in my lungs. I also had frequent bouts of strep and tonsilitis, which just increased my chances of bacterial infection exponentially.

Those infections were also harder to get rid off, often taking several round of antibiotics before they were remedied, if only temporarily (probably because i continued to play sports hard, and smoked).

I often had bacterial infections which would clear after one to several round of the said antibiotics you mentioned.</description>

		<description>Good to hear that the problem has been diagnosed and is being treated. Rest up and get well soon.

Three things:
1. You still need air conditioning. ;)
2. RIP, Bernie Mac. What a loss of a great talent.
3. It's been five days since I've had a smoke. Thank God for the nicotine patch, but I still want to slap the snot out of somebody.</description>

Side note-I've learned that the Music Industry has lost one of the greatest sax players, LeRoi Moore of the Dave Matthews Band. May he R.I.P. and never be forgotten.</description>
