That's it...

Local folklore has it that the Natives never lived for any long period in North Alabama. Called this area the Valley of Sickness; good for hunting and developing sensitivities to the inescapable pollen of a thousand blooming things.

I have no idea how true this piece of lore is, but it makes a fun story. And let me tell you, since I moved to the Tennessee Valley, I've had trouble with ear and sinus infections like I haven't had since I was a child.

Go to a doctor and complain, he nods sagely, shines a light in your nose, puts a tuning fork on your third eye, and tells you what you just told him. Writes you a scrip for sufficient antibiotic to clear the clap three times. Waves bye.

The antibiotic does nothing except render your birth control null.

The sinus shit continues.

There's got to be another way.



Anybody got any neti pot horror stories?

oh, ditto on the local honey and apple cider vinegar. i've had good luck with goldenrod tincture for sinus infections. dropperful several times a day alone or with lemon balm tincture to loosen congestion. i have both (homemade) if'n you want to try them. and of course, neti pot with disolved sea salt (just a quarter tsp).
