Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 I suggest upping vitamin C asap. Moderate C doses don't do much at all. Take a gram at a time, every hour until you get loose stool. If no loose stools, up dose to a gram every half hour, then a gram every 15 minutes until you get loose stool. Then back off a bit. If you get stomach problems from high C, use buffered C. I would also suggest taking cod liver oil daily. Vitamin D helps viral infections. I take a tablespoon of cod liver oil every day, unless I am out in the sun a lot in summer. Cayenne pepper tea or using it in foods is also a good idea. Don't take any asprin or other cold remedies which lower temperature. The body needs a high body temp (over 101) to stop viruses from replicating.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Thanks Alobar I've never taken quite that much vit c before. It will be interesting to see how i tolerate it in high quantities. I did take some ibuprofen this morning. I do try to avoid taking anything but it gets into weak points, making everything ache, such as neck etc. I've heard elderberry extract and olive leaf is good for flu and viruses as well but i haven't got any at the moment. Viral spikes are covered in a enzyme called neuraminidase, which helps break down the cell wall. The elderberry inhibits the action of that enzyme It can stop the virus attaching itself. If there is any more bird flu around this winter i wonder if that would be a good one to take. They say it's only a matter of time before there is a pandemic in the world.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 > > are you sucking on zinc lozengers to minimize the cold? > What a good idea. I'd forgotten about them. I remember taking them years ago and they worked really well for a cold. I'm drinking cayenne tea at the moment and i think hubby put too much in. I said 1/8 of a teaspoon. It is really strong lol That'll make me sweat. Sally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Have you tried colloidal silver. It's a fantastic antibiotic and antifungal. I only started using it recently but I swear by it now. In fact I'm waiting on distilled water arriving so I can make my own. This site has info about it. www.silvermedicine.org cheers Kirsteen -- Chaos, confusion, disorder - my work here is done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love reading this forum. What helps me and my family is pineapple juice.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 I like Carlson's. It is amore expensive than most, but they remove heavy metals, and add a nice lemon flavor that makes the CLO easier to take.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 I use the Oil of Oregano too……….works great, I also use Kold Kare from the HFS, vit C, and if I have really specific symptoms I will use homeopathy remedies.

It turns your skin gray. > > http://dermatology.cdlib.org/111/case_reports/argyria/wadhera.html > Italinasapphiregirl, The only condition attributed to excessive intake of silver is Argyria ( " blue-blood " ). The greyish skin complexion is caused by ingestion of LARGE silver particles and/or silver mixed with a protein to keep it suspended in a solution. Eating from Silver knives and forks, known as the " Nobleman's disease, " from which the expression " blue-blooded " was derived, this harmless bluish skin condition is rarely seen today. There are no known instances of modern, commercially produced electrolytic Colloidal Silver causing Argyria. If collodial silver turns your skin blue I should look like a Smurf! I was prescribed silver nose drops for most of my childhood, for chronic sinus infections, it was the only thing that would keep me healthy. We went through bottles and bottles of that stuff and ALL of it was absorbed by my mucus membranes. Fondly, Susie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
