Dear all, Re : Barbara's comment - I don't want to burst your bubble... I remember commenting to my uncle (who is also my Dad's GP), that Dad didn't get colds at all. My mother had also noticed this and the reason put forward by both the GP and the neuro is that PWPs tend to take more care of themselves, trying out different vitamins, reducing exposure to stressful situations, in short, they pay more attention to their health than the average Joe. Therefore, less prone to getting colds. Una, longdistance caregiver for Dad(Patrick)67/15+ Una Markey MIS - ASTRO team Cisco Systems Paris Tel : (33) 01 69185232 email : [log in to unmask]
