Aural tuning with a head cold

[gordon stelter]

Howdy Jonathan,
     I had a raging respiratory infection last year  
(coughing up blood, etc.) after inhaling crap from a
particularly filthy piano. It lasted 3 months. It
cleared up in 4 days after starting the lozenges.
     An elderly friend of mine (father of one very
famous actress) had a similar infection. Similarly
cleared up after I recommended these.
     I now carry mouthwash, toothbrush, paste & floss
in my car. If I enter a very filthy house or piano, I
will use these immediately upon exit to provide less
initial breeding ground for any pathogens picked up,
which then take root in nasal passages. I will also
flush my nasal passages with salt water ASAP.
     I get significantly less infections after
satrting this procedure.
     ( Also useful if one gets stuck in line at the
grocery behind stinky rockstars.)
