get the powder/crystal form of MSM in bulk...here at Vitamin Cottage (they
ship) its around $9.00 a lb.

I take a 1/4 tsp dose in my coffee with each cup and also use it as a soak
and a wash--great for bug bites, great for sprains, for anything red, hot,
irritated, inflamed--just put some in water and use as a rinse, or soak a
cloth and use as a compress, or soak in hot or cold water..... Football
teams put it in the whirpools by the pound, but a spoonfull in a bowl of
water will keep your finger/toe from turning quite so purple if you hurt
it---I've watched it happen. Veterinarians often carry it at a much lower
price than people get it n healthfood stores I'm told---but I just buy it
along with my Emergen-C powder and flaxseed oil at the local health food
store.

What's the best form of MSM to get? I've been meaning to get some anyway
so
now is as good a time as any!

I do shower at night and don't line dry.

We are supposed to be getting rain-I'm hoping that will wash some of it
away.

Thanks for the advice!

I'm with ya--was wondering if I had contracted TB perhaps, but its just
constant drippage down the throat and subsequent sniveling and
coughing....

Washing out my eyes with MSM in water helps, as does gargling with
it---I
mix it with salt too, really helps cut the inflammy part, and lots and
lots
of hot fluids helps---fresh gingerroot cut up with boiling water and
honey
is very soothing and keeps the mucus from doing too much irritation by
keeping it flushed. Helps with the tummy troubles that come from the
drippage too...yechhh!

Showering before bed or anytime you've been out in the pollen helps
too,
and
don't line-dry your sheets or clothes right now. We've got huge piles
of
elm
pollen right now---yellow greeny drifts, and also lots of other
pollens--its
been a wet year!

There's something in the air (some kind of pollen) that is doing a
number
on
me. I'm already allergic to lots of air borne stuff so I take a
decongestant/anti-histamine daily - but whatever this is isn't being
touched
by it.

I'm going through Kleenex like crazy - and my nose feels like the
commercial
noses that run away from the tissues. And my eyes are tearing. And
I've
got the lovely drainage in the throat. This started yesterday (woke
up
with
it) and I've been inside (no windows open) mostly and when I'm in the
car
the windows are up and the AC is on.

Any suggestions? please

Ack - I can't imagine having to deal with this and asthma! Glad you found
the bread!!

Oh, wow - the allergies must have been terrible - either that or you had the
flu!

I use Claritin D 24 hour everyday - that's why I was soooo surprised by
the
severity of this!

But it's starting to get better - we had some rain and I think that
helped.

Kathy K

Blech - I hear ya. Allergies are terrible up here in Washington. For
me,
washing my face with a wash cloth every so often helps the get rid of
pollen
on my face and helps me feel better. Also, ginger tea with lemon helps
the
throat. Use tissues with lotion on them so your nose doesn't hurt.
Keep
your face moisturized to avoid chapping. And see if your local store has
Claritin - it's the very best allergy med I have ever taken, and it's
non-drowsy and has no side effects (for me anyway). You don't have to
have
a prescription anymore. Once per day keeps my allergies at bay.
Hehehehe.

the last 20 years....- will share pics when the last section is
finished....my ink-man is a fine artist and does awesome work.....and his
roses make another tat man in our town very very jealous.........lol......
