Living a healthy life

My claim to fame is not having been to a doctor in more than 30 years, so I have some things to say about staying healthy. Most of the 30 years, by the way, I was covered by health insurance.

Cranberry juice against gastrointestinal viruses


This is good news. Since I moved to Oregon, I got an intestinal bug twice. The first time really bad; the second time bad. I think maybe I'm not used to the West Coast viruses or something, because I hadn't gotten that sick for years.

They found that cranberry juice prevented the SA-11 virus from attaching to red blood cells or infecting host cells, and when they looked at the SA-11 cell cultures under high-magnification microscopes, there were no viral particles in those treated with juice, and says Cohen, the effect was immediate.

This is very useful information. I have to remember this the next time if I feel a bug coming on.
