NEEDS CLEAR PASSAGES

Although I don't have a sinus infection, my sinuses and ears are so clogged I can't hear things. I was told to go on the drug Sudafed, but I don't like taking it. I want a natural remedy to keep my sinuses clear.

SHOCKED BY MS

My best friend just discovered she has multiple sclerosis. She is still in shock from the news and is experiencing some of the milder symptoms of the disease like fatigue, dizziness, and numbness brought on by stress. Can anyone suggest nutritional changes she should make? Any advice would be encouraging.

LEG HELP DESIRED

I was diagnosed with a blood vessel condition in my legs called venous insufficiency. My doctor prescribed knee-high stockings to wear daily from morning until bedtime, but they're not helping. I'm now having difficulty walking. Does anyone know what I can take to help alleviate this?
