iron for the soul

There's a scene in an early Graham Greene novel - perhaps Gun For Sale - in which someome allows themselves to get murdered in a sceance rather than face the embarassment of interrupting proceedings. Dread of making a scene isn't what it used to be, maybe, but I still find that if I'm sitting in a railway carriage, realizing as we pull away from Tunbridge Wells that I'm next to someone sniffing or spluttering or dripping phlegm it's quite beyond me to get up and move to another carriage.

Feeling a cold coming on a couple of days ago, i remembered a homeopathic remedy somone told me about a few years ago that I'd since forgotten. Iron Phosphate - marked Ferr. Phos. on the plastic container I got form the chemist - is what you take if you feel a cold coming on -

and I'm here to tell you it really does work!

I'll remember Iron Phosphate, but being a Yank makes it easy for me to get and move instead of being phlegmed on.

You posted this at the perfect time JB. I've just come down with a cold. Will try it, thanks!

I used to listen to deepak chopra audiotapes and can remener him talk of how to cure the cold. He claimed he hadn't had a cold for about 20 years. To do this he explained that he simply stoped believing that it was a possibility. By literally telling the pathagon this was not a suitable host. I mean I'm into my positive thinking but do you think this is achievable?

Yeah, us Yanks have no problem moving, although lately I have been surprised at the people I have met in the US who are sick and don't use tissue, just wipe everything on their hands, seats, eeeeek ...weird. Been carrying alcohol wipes because making a scene would mean getting out of the transit van!

For me, it's grapefruitseed extract which is a natural antibiotic - antiviral etc. I take in the winter along with Vit C. 1000+. but I will add the Iron, thanks! I haven't been sick since I stopped eating meat.
