Seaweed is also very rich in iron -- and many other minerals and vitamins as well. Plus, it doesn't have the disadvantages of synthetic food supplements and tastes great.

The box I've got here with me is an American product (CVS pharmacy).. IRON from ferrous sulfate 115 mg. its in tablets of 50 mg USP Slow release..the recommended dosage on that is 1 tablet/day for adults preferably with a meal, and lots of fluids, its a dietary supplement over the counter.

The exact equivalent sold locally is called IRON complex SR (slow release) produced under license of Nature's Life USA..box is 14 EGP for 20 tablets, also dietary supplement.

The dosage you're giving SQ is good for an elephant Sashy.. her liver could not cope with such a dosage.

*Puts Sashy in corner with British Pharmacopoeia to read*

Interesting what you say about D3 Sono - loads of people I know here and abroad seem to be suffering sinus problems this year for months on end! Wonder why?

Mold!

I moved apartment buildings with new management and these people actually scrape the inside of plaster lathing and get the mold out.

Newer construction homes have had a bad run with mold in the last 2 decades.

I read somewhere between mold in the walls of your home and non-native polune (spelling forget it I am American and to lazy to open word ) contribute to mold and the pollune just opens your sinus' to it.

I also irrigate my sinuses with a squeeze bottle by neilmed with saline water.

I adore winter I won't go through the season miserable!

Actually, I'm still trying to find that out.
There are restaurants offering sushi, so it must be available somewhere.

Usually, I bring lots of it with me from Germany, it's very light, so no problem putting many packages into your suitcase.

and I do that Saline Spray for the nasal (among a bunch of other meds). Called Physiomer Spray here. wonderful stuff.
Been seeing an ENT and he is saying that the air pollution, plus the burning of crops, plus exhaust, plus the small unusual sand storms this year is all contributing to this sinus mess.
dunno if its true, but it logical, I think

Took you advise JB and bought the Physiomer spray from the pharmacy. First time I used it I managed to spray it up the bathroom mirror, but it cleaned the mirror very well. Let's hope this bottle of sea water does the trick
