Thanks all so far. I am prone to be 'mucousy', which is genetic (my mother's the same and, partly as a result, spends several hours a day on a machine that helps her breathe), but I don't ever eat dairy (allergic to it). I don't get enough exercise in general. Too busy doing 'useful' things. Yes, yes, I see the contradiction. I will change that. I *never* do and never have smoked any substance whatever (not even fish!). I hadn't heard that about cranberries. Though I am always wary of 'wonderfood' claims, I also do know that certain foods do perform special functions and, if it's worked for you, that's good enough for me. Thank you. I will look into my protein intake. Also, I don't sleep enough (too much to do, life too short) so, with a weak physical constitution anyway, I probably don't do myself any favours in that department. I need to make a 'list for action', make sure I stick to it, and see what difference it makes. Thank you all so much. Any other ideas?
