    everythings going well.

    and a good many come from plants and roots, but they are much easier in pill form than chewing on roots all day

    I am sure that Halliburton would be interested about a contractor that does not follow federal dot guidelines.
    They look at it as if their is a problem it turns into their problem too.

    Asthma. Have I cured it? I don't think so, as there is a cure. Do I have it under control? You bet, and I don't use drugs to do it. I learned about my disease and learned how to control it. I learned what is good for me and what is not. I learned what I can and cannot eat. What I can and cannot/should not do. I learned how to take control on the onset of an attack and to minimize the attack. Everything has a trigger and once you learn about that and how to stay away from the trigger the easier it is for you to cope with your disease. The problem is no one takes the time to really learn about their disease. Once you learn about your disease, what to avoid to not trigger the disease you can normally get off the meds for the disease. The KEY is learning.

    We digress from the topic so I will not post anymore on this here.

    I think he should go back and leave them a new urine sample, right on their desk. May as well give a stool sample as well.

    Yeah we are tryi g some different things at this point, No insurance now so its a little tough. The whole not drinking anything was because with one of the meds once it does kick in then he cant stop going like literally every couple of minutes making it impossible to even drive. As soon as we get some insurance we are revisiting the whole meds thing he has lost over 30 pounds and just went over a month without BP meds but did have headaches bad so we havent found the right combo yet.
