Every once in awhile, for no apparent reason, allopathy works. Usually
the best thing to do is to find an advocateyou can trust, preferably a
family member.

Sounds great to me. Anything but exercise and diet;-)
My dad appeared to have Alzheimer's, then they took him off his meds and
he came back to normal. Normal for him wasn't good. He would never have
mistaken for Mr. Rogers but at least he wasn't a zombie. I'm taking too
many meds for my taste but since I seem to be the host for all the
contemporary modern maladies, I need to be prudent. Any reading you
could suggest to an open-minded sceptic in the way of alternative
medicine?

Go hit Wikipedia for RNA viruses. It's a interesting list --
including Ebola, West Nile Virus, the mumps, Rabies, Hanta Virus and
Tobacco Mosaic Virus. And the flu.
Scary stuff.
Hep C seems to be pandemic these days. My MD routinely checks *everyone*
for it now...

Oh I know exactly how I got it. I was a junkie when I was a kid. I
shot dope and cocaine frequently. I missed getting AIDS by a squinch.
BTW, more people in the world have HEP C, than AIDS. It has surpassed
AIDS in the numbers now. It's the number one reason for liver related
cancers, transplants and death. So, I'm preparing and peaceful about
it all. My husband will wheel me out on a dolly and I'll garden
laying down. I almost exclusively do that now! What a sight.

I have this one, but mine is 10x20 feet
http://www.greenhouses.com/germinator88.html
It looks like this one, but I didn't buy it from this source. I have
the invoice inside the file cabinet and I am flat out from knee
surgery so too lazy to get it.
I really love this greenhouse because in winter it protects my tender
brugmansia and I start seeds and make cuttings and sell them to local
garden centers to support my habit of plants.
However, I think I'm done now with adding more plants to garden. I
will just use the greenhouse to winter over my brugs and some other
plants, as well as grow some to sell. This house can be turned into a
canopy in summer. We use shade cloth, but it came with a canopy. In
Texas, the wind can take that thing up like a kite and so I use shade
cloth which is not solid material, but has many holes and it helps
shade my part shade plants.
Sorry if this post makes no sense, I'm working on virtually no sleep.
