No offence taken Christine! I have to say that normally I would agree with you... I went to the Doctors recently with an agonisingly bad sore throat, I couldn't even talk - guess what he recommended? Vitamin C!! I was fuming, I wanted antibiotics, steroids and painkillers of the strongest variety!
I have been taught not to judge a remedy by it's cover since Tiggy has been poorly though. She suffers terribly with excess stomach acid (caused by the CRF) which resulted in terrible nausea and most days would vomit up a clear foamy patch of what I call 'tummy juice'. I did lots of research and came across a herbal remedy called Slippery Elm Bark, this is a powder which I sprinkle onto food, result - no more vomiting. It also works wonders for constipation, diaorrhea, mouth ulcers but sadly not agonisingly bad sore throats!
