Welcome to the madness and make sure you PM Mahonri so he knows to add your name to the list. How many eggs did you set and what kind?

So....I submitted my numbers originally, and then re-submitted per the original instructions, with a revision to the number that I set....but I still appear on the list twice, so my original submission on line #5 needs to be deleted please.

thank you!!!

Some natural remedies can't hurt. My friend in China just had a lung infection and asked me (known herb NUT) for some natural remedies. So I don't have to rewrite the book I will copy/paste my email to her:

Hi, local to you is a plant called ma huang. In its natural form, plant form it is great for colds and opening the nasal passageways.

I don't know your exact area but you could check shops that carry herbs. In English we call it ephedra. I know it has a bad rep from pharmaceutical companies for its use in diet pills but natural and unrefined, made into a tea is natural and safe for colds. We have an american version that grows wild in the south west but I believe the Chinese is even better.

I would suggest for the spread to the lungs that you walk uphill, outdoors at a brisk pace. Most people refuse to do this when sick but if you just trust me on this, you will start hacking up green mucous. That is your infection. But you need to elevate the heart rate and breathe in deeply. After you do that. Or if you don't... either way, also for the lungs is good to steam yourself. Put a pot of simmering water on, put your hair up and a towel over your head and inhale some vapors. Even better would be a few drops of tea tree oil in the water because its antiseptic and will help kill germs. And, eucalyptus (unless you have asthma) is supposed to help open lungs. For some people (like asthma people) peppermint works better. Essential oils are most effective but dried herbs will also work.

For the fever, the natural remedy is cold and hot water compress alternating. I suggest keep taking Tylenol. As often as you can alternate a cold compress with a hot one or a hot bath with a cold bath.

Forget about food for a couple days. Just take fruit juice and herbal teas.

Hope you feel better soon.

Echinacea Tea supports immune system. Raspberry leaf helps reduce mucous.

Ephedra [Mormon tea] is tops for respritory problems......................... but not available around here since meth labs became a chronic problem. There's another plant that is common to this area, mullen, that is very effective and without the side effects of ephedra; but it has to be dried and then smoked like tobacco.
