I went to do a listing presentation to an older lady and during the presentation I coughed. She asked, "Is your health well?" I explained that I had bronchitis and was on antibiotics. Had I said I was fine and went on I would not have lost all control of the meeting. The lady started explaining nutrition and bacteria vs virus and what I should be doing to get better. I asked if she was a doctor. She explained that she had almost died from an infection and that her very thorough research helped save her life.
For the next couple of hours she hand wrote all kinds of instructions that are itemized below. I do not give this information as medical advice but to merely illustrate how detailed the instructions were that she gave me. Before reading further I must give the following:
WARNING: Before taking any of the items below or any other medications, consult your doctor. The information that follows is for illustration purposes on how I lost control of a listing presentation. For medical advice, consult your physician.
1) Get A&D vitamins 10,000 mg. Take two with biggest meal of the day.
2) Get Ester C and take 1000 mg with each meal (this item was accompanied by a few paragraphs of additional information such as mice can produce their own Vitamin C but humans can't, too much C may give you diarrhea, will make urine yellower, hospital can give C in an IV, and much more). Ester C should be used when taking large doses of C because it is buffered and regular C would be too hard on your stomach.
3) Meat and dairy create mucous and should be avoided during an infection like bronchitis. Use soy milk and if you have to have meat, have a small amount and make it a very lean meat like turkey.
4) Eat unsalted sunflower seeds.
5) Eat eggs, beans, and nuts.
6) Drink plenty of fluids especially: A) Carrot juice; B) V-8; and C) Lots of Water.
7) Eat sweet potatoes, green peppers, and onions (not together -- just eat them).
8) Take odorless garlic pills.
9) Take apple cider vinegar pills. This one was followed with an explanation that this will help make your body alkaline which helps fight off viral infections.
10) Drink cold cure tea and peppermint tea.
11) Take a good multi-vitamin with food.
12) Take Zinc lozenges (Cold-eeze was what I was already taking and she said that was good).
13) Eat chicken broth and chicken soup.
14) Buy some books: Vitamin C: The Healing Factor; Let's Get Well; The Merck Manual.
15) When course of antibiotics are finished acidophilus pills are needed to put good bacteria back in you for digestion that the antibiotics killed off.
Well the jury is still out as to whether I will get the listing but I have much more energy and am not coughing since following these instructions. Again, this is not an endorsement of taking the items she suggested and again I must write:
WARNING: Before taking any of the items above or any other medications, consult your doctor. The information given in this blog is for illustration purposes on how I lost control of a listing presentation. For medical advice, consult your physician.
The purpose of this blog is to show just one of several ways a listing presentation can go awry. How have you lost all control at a listing presentation?
Thanks!

Cute... now that you are feeling better, use the opportunity to go back to her with a "thank you" and pick up where you left off. She'll be happy that she could be of help to you! Good luck!
Rob,
If I ate half of all that stuff, I'd be fatter than I already am! (Plus have bad breath)
I think I'll just eat the regular junk that I like and wait out the bronchitis!
Thanks,
Lucky
Hi Silvia, That I did but the listing is still up in the air. New wrinkle--the house may qualify to be on the historical registry and this is causing them to re-think the listing situation.
Hi Lucky, it is odorless garlic so no bad breath. Also, small portions of these food and drink items are okay. For example, it took two days to eat a small sweet potato and four days to eat a small bag of sunflower seeds. Everything in moderation. It's interesting that the spam fighter graphic word for this comment is "Carrot". Speaking of which, time to go get some carrot juice!
