Dr Don, are you happy to have a conservation with me about a proposed double blind trial for a non-medical treatment that I have been using to great effect? If so please email me at [email protected].

Hi everyone. I am not on Ofev but reading all your stories reminds me that I keep a container of ginger gums in the glovebox of my boat for anyone who gets seasick and they work. Chewing one is isually enough. Try your supermarket or health food shop. Natural ginger also works but is a bit strong for a lot of palates.

These are the muscles over the kidneys and when sore, sometimes have sufferers complain of kidney pain. I would never have associated it with IPF but it makes sense, since the timing of IPF symptoms (pre diagnosis) and…[Read more]

My Wife and I have not changed our lives. My children and grandchildren keep urging us to stay indoors but that is not going to happen. I wore a P2 rated mask to screen out smoke during the recent bushfire crisis here in Victoria and NSW which was prudent but I don’t wear one now. I always practise good hygiene, washing my hand when I cone hom I…[Read more]

Thanks to Lorraine for forwarding the hints to help prevent infection. I was going to do the same but my access had crashed. The only thing else that I re all the original author saying wad that you touch your mouth or nose on average more than 90 times a day. As he wrote and as Charlene noticed, wearing blue latex gloves reminds you not to touch…[Read more]
