POPSA fancy and unduly expensive Neti pot Dr. K. Mehta I got to hand it to you born in India and now an American millionaire in just a few years, how easy all of this must seem to you.

With 8 ounces of tap water heated until boiling then mixing in a 1/4 teaspoon of sea-salt then set aside to cool is much cheaper and more effective in contrast to your system which costs consumers far more money. And furthermore, Sinus Rinse is far more time consuming compared to the Neti pot.

Started in 1949, the scheme provided employment for returned soldiers, 'New Australians', who came to Australia after WW2 to start a new life, to provide electricity for the states of N.S.W. and Victoria, and to turn the 'Snowy' River from it's flow into the ocean, back inland to the irrigation area in central N.S.W. The Government tried to sell the scheme in 2005, but widespread protests, arguing it was not theirs to sell, from people including 100 Mayors from N.S.W., prominent politicians, and conservationists, prevented the sale. As a result of the drought-in Australia, droughts go hand in with bush fires, Lake Jindabyne reached an all time low of around 10%.in 2005. Today the level is around 60%. 'Old' Jindabyne is beneath Lake Jindabyne. They decided to move the town. when the dam was built. Parts of it can be seen when the dam is low or when fishing. Particularly the steeple.

POPSThousands rally to mark 'death' of Australian river The Murray River has suffered neglect at the hands of both major parties at both state and federal level. Too hard. Maybe it will rain.
