I'll offer two observations.

1. Whenever I sweep my dusty highway-facing 18th floor balcony, within an hour I have the symptoms of an 'allergy': red, runny nose, sniffles, sneezing, sometimes progressing to a sore throat. Usual resolution in 24-48 hours (1-2 days).

2. Whenever I expose my skin to the sun and get sunburn, within a day I have symptoms of a 'cold': red, runny nose, sniffles, sore throat, fatigue, voice change due to stuffiness. Usual resolution in 48-96 hours (2-4 days).

No virus required in either case. The first was dust expulsion from my mucous membranes, the second was, I suspect, an overabundance of Vit. D suddenly becoming available and my body immediately using it to do some automated detox.

Thanks, Mike. Reading back in my journal entries, i'm amazed how many times in the past, especially this time of year, i "got sick" and stayed sick for weeks at a time, in spite of all the pharmaceuticals i was taking. Since i've stopped reacting to every sign of allergy as if i had caught a "bad virus," i've been very healthy, episodes confined to a part of a day.

Thanks Jeffrey! I've learned that when I start noticing any symptoms, the best thing for me is water fasting and rest.

Well, mild allergies i can just get by, neti pot helps if i get too congested. In the SF Bay Area, there is so much vegetation there is something to be allergic to almost every month of the year.

The Don Tolman link is broken (no longer on BitChute). I think this is it on Rumble. Worth a watch. Laughed out loud. :)
