   Provide enough bait, and ALL the local arses are sure to respond.  :)   
      
   I did NOT write one word regarding "allergies."  Nevertheless, I do   
   NOT suffer from any allergies, of any type.   
      
   And, of course, I supplement with more than one nutritional   
   supplement; in addition to eating a fantastic diet, and regularly   
   participating in exercise.   
      
   If I make it through a second year without catching the common cold,   
   YOU will NEVER hear the end of it.   
      
   Taking vitamin D does NOT mean that you walk around inside an   
   invisible plastic bubble, that magically protects you from the effects   
   of cold weather, drafts, and getting wet.  This is why published   
   research is so incredibly stupid.  YES, stupid people have any number   
   of incredible stupid ways of getting sick.   
      
   What it means is that you can employ other strategies whenever   
   Sniffling and Sneezing strike and get through an entire year without   
   catching a cold.  Smart people survive, while stupid people like Bob   
   die.  :)   
      
   Further, recovery times from foodborne illnesses drop from several   
   days to several hours.
