Scott, et al...I do take a lot of vitamin C as well as all the peppers in the food we eat, and as well as that, I take cranberry concentrate in pill form, have been doing that for years, ever since the last bladder infection. And for arthritic pain in a thumb joint, I use Cap cream, from Wally's wirld, which helps a lot....also I do not take shots of any kind, after having a shot of anti tetanus serum(horse serum) when I was much younger and then spending six weeks in hospital. Since I proved to be allergic to serum shots, I went five years in the RCAF and never had one shot of any kind...some sort of record, I suppose. I had an exempt on my medical records for any kind of shots! Peppers, Peppers,Peppers! taken in large enough quantity, keep me healthy , at least...also at my age, I still run down 11 flights of concrete stairs each and every day. How old Doug? Old Doug fine, thanks...How old Scott? Cheers, Doug in BC
