I'm feeling much better. thanks for asking, Paul.
I'm still coughing up a bit of phlem throughout the day.

I just learned about Udo's Choice Probiotics Super 5 lozenges (put out
by
Flora) that contain acidophilus bifidum, among other things. It says
it's
ideal for travelers to help protect against foreign micro organisms.

Unfortunately, my husband just returned from a visit to our
homeopathic
doctor and she found mercury in his blood which was not there before.
Since he has no amalgams to take out, she asked had he been eating
seafood? And of course, we ate alot of fish during our two weeks in
Peru
and Brazil. that means I've got it too. It probably would have been
safer
to stick with the fresh food and take our chances.

:-(

So you might keep that in mind when you think about ordering
fish/salad
dishes...

taking a suitcase of supplies is a good idea. we carried a bottle of
superfood with us as well, but had no way to prepare it. does your
little
Krups mixer run on batteries? that's great idea. the fresh fruit
should be
great.

What is Pulse? I don't eat nutrition bars.
