Seems this time of year there is a lot of snifflng, sneezing, coughing and wheezing that goes on in our part of the world and of late "Dr. Hanson" has been imparting words of wisdom on that much sought after "cure for the common cold."
While we seldom write blogs that are not real estate related...if you feel better...and are selling, buying, working in and around real estate...you will do better...so look at this blog as being both economy and health inspired !
Prevention goes without saying...eating well, dressing to fit the weather...getting the sleep you need...For us....if there is even the tiniest "scratch of the throat", sneeze in the air, sniffle or two....we get out the Zinc Defense lozenges. 
Apparently, cold germs take OFFENSE to the Defense and can honestly say...if we start this early enough....the cold never "blossoms.
If you "caught it" after the sniffles began....a generous shot of my Grandmother 's remedy which seems to work for all things cold and flu....and believe it else...Cryptosporidium... you need to keep that bottle of blackberry brandy handy. Not sure what medical miracles lie in this alcoholic remedy...we 
can attest as the keeper of the "neighborhood bottle"...it does work !
We understand that alcohol is not for everyone...even medicinally and our next suggestion....whether you choose the Blackerry Brandy or not, is Hot Sour Soup from your favorite Chinese restaurant. WOW we esepecially recommend this for sinus 
congestion as opposed to chest congestion...it is very powerful stuff ! Hot to me is an understatement...David loves it..."in sickness and in health "
Now....for your comfort station..
we highly recommend you prop
yourself up on as many pillows as
possible ....at least begin your slumber as upright as possible. Rest is a good thing...we also suggest that you change the pillow cases and spray the pillows with a disinfectant spray at least twice a day if you are staying in bed. If you are in a warmer climate..you may consider airring your pillows outdors , disinfecting them and 
putting on fresh pillow cases....Mmmmm that fresh air...that you temporarily can't smell...will put you to sleep...
Hoping you spend the season "sniffle free" but if not....try the things that we have succeeded with...we can't bottle them as being the "cure for the common cold"....but hope that they will help you with prevention and/or relief !
If you or anyone you know is looking for "relief" from any worries in all things real estate in southeastern Wisconsin..Call the Hansons...we are honored to be of service.
