Two suggestions, not sure if I should have put them on adunctive line or here, but they are pretty harmless.........After Frank`s first radiation go round, I used aloe vera juice with essential oil of lavender, say, several drops to an ounce of juice, lavender is soothing, antiseptic and very calming, also you can use virgin olive oil if you can`t find aloe vera. Secondly, to you guys who are golfing again with sore muscles, we used Tiger Balm, scent is overwhelming, but it`s great for sore muscles, do not use near any open wounds...thirdly, a trick I learned her in Maine, is a rice bag....fill a tube sock with rice and stick it in the microwave for a couple minutes........I`m truly addicted to rice bags, and it can be a dangerous addiction, I`ve set several on fire and had to toss them outside! Since I seem to be always cold, my ricebag is my friend. If you want to try the lavender, make sure you get the real thing, Vitamin Shoppe has good quality. I tend to try to us anything natural. Again I don`t think any of these things are harmful, or in anyway should replace medical care.......Hugs, Dee
