SLIPPERY ELM

Hope everyone had a fantastic July 4th.

Lucky me I caught a little bit of a cold - but always trying to find the positive I thought I would share this piece of information with you.

It started Thursday evening and my throat was sore and swallowing was tough. Friday I wake up and swallowing is like swallowing razor blades, I'm exhausted with a bit of a headache, but it is the throat that is the issue - very painful and to make matters worse my tounge has swollen up so now its about an inch too wide so I have this ridiculous lisp.

It was July 4th so maybe people thought I was drunk :) but it was hard to talk (and I sounded so stupid)
I take myself off to the health store and buy "Slippery Elm" which I have heard is good for sore throats but I have never tried it.

Long story short - but Saturday morning .. NO SORE THROAT !! NOTHING , NADA.
My tongue was still a little swollen but you would have had to have a sharp ear to hear the difference.

So theres a little useful information .... SLIPPERY ELM ... you can buy it at any health store
