Charm,

Funny you should mention the Neti pot. Another forum I'm active on (not a cancer forum) has many posters, including a couple of doctors, that LOVE their Neti pots and last fall I bought one while fighting a mild cold. I had to pull it back out again a couple of weeks ago when another nastier cold reared its head. I realized I should be using it far more frequently! Especially when I'm out meeting zillions of people at networking events. The colds have been nasty this winter and I need everything I can throw at them to stay healthy!
