You really got some challenges there and I agree with PTree. You are built from one piece of good wood as we say, to keep up such spirit.
May I suggest for your throat to consider gargling with Hydrogen Peroxide? You can find lots of info on this topic in the files at www.oxytherapy.com (use their search facility for it has a hugh database)
A few years ago I followed their protocol (Ithink it's in the first few files) to take HP internally. It helped me in getting back my energy and health after a real burnout period. And I still swallow it occasionally, with direct results, when I notice a cold coming up.
You are in my prayers too and I thank you for sharing such powerfull spirit with us!
Keep it up Ray and keep posting when you feel like it!
