I have pneumonia but voted today in Illinois- good turnout here in Chicago.

Nothing was going to keep me from voting.Nothing.
Feel guilty that I can't help with the Victory Counsel in MI like I was scheduled to but-at least you can bank 1 for Madam President and Sen. Duckworth.
Good turnout.
I have faith in America. Hillary will win.
I'm guessing 322 EV and 48% popular vote miniumium. Hoping for so much more though.
GOTV DU!

I have chronic bronchitis.

Every year I needed to go on a Z-Pac 10 regime to fight the infection.


My army brat ex-sister-in-law told me about Elecampane. She says that people in France use it to fight anthrax.

You can only get it at certain fine health food stores. It's in a tincture, which is a small bottle with an eyedropper. You take 3 doses of 30 drops a day in a glass of water, and that will kill the shit really fast. I haven't been on an anti-biotic in over 5 years now. You also need to take an expectorant, and additional guaifenesin to help purge that shit in your lungs. You can take 800 - 1000 mg of it safely every 4 hours.


It's important to wake in the middle of the night and not skip doses, else it will rebuild strength a little.

I'll check that out! I've just let myself get run down in law school full time. Got bronchitis that turned into pneumonia.
I hope you take care of your chronic bronchitis. Sounds like you have a good handle on it.
Be well.

I misspoke earlier. I used to go on antibiotics at least 3 times a year, not the implied once a year above.

My nephew also has Chronic Bronchitis and he's been able to stave off the infections too.


I've returned to college and I'm in the same boat. Work, family, two classes. Introducing that cold was the icing on the cake.

If you can't find elecampane, something labeled Lung Health, will have that and a couple other things.


It's stuff like this that makes me embrace medicinal science, and certain forms of old world medicine.

Best wishes, bench.
