Hello Julie,

I am a 54 yr old CFer and have discovered a holistic method which is reducing my congestion from cups/day to a trickle. I alkaline my diet by having 5-6 glasses of water per day with fresh lime or lemon squeezed in it and limiting acidic foods (see internet for list of alkaline/acid food chart, lemon/lime taken in the body has the highest alkaline rating). I read on the internet that germs could not live in an alkaline environment and it's worked dramatically for me. Have you ever tried this?
