@windwalker Terri, yes, I stopped swimming because of what I've read about mac being found in pools. I also have well water and our hot water tank is set at 120 degrees, and I'm an avid outdoors person and gardener. I won't give up the outdoors. I'd love to hear more about the nebulized saline and how to use it. Thanks! Lori

@lorifilipek , The 7% sodium chloride is inhaled saline (salt). It is good for lung hygiene and keeps the 'cooties' from wanting to live in them. You don't seem to be very ill yet from this disease; doing the nebulized saline may very well keep you from getting sicker. My doctor is a big proponant for it and so am I. @alleycatkate Kate, can you please dig that article out of your archieves with that sodium chloride chart in it for Lori? I thought I had bookmarked it, but guess I didn't. Thank you!
