Guest guest Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 I do not need a cold remedy, as I have a tried and true one I have used for 11 or 12 years without fail. But I am interested in the fruit juice suggestion. Where do you get your juice that it is live? Freshly juiced fruit cannot retain nutrition for more than three days. Do you grow elderberries and juice your own? ________________________________ From: Amy Haskett <farmmom@...> Coconut Oil Sent: Thu, January 13, 2011 12:43:04 PM Subject: Re: what is your favorite cough and cold remedy?  Elderberry syrup is my favorite with some mint in there works great!!!  I like elderberry especially for respiratory stuff coughs and such  Amy Haskett Shaklee Independent Distributor Wellness Educator www.shaklee.net/amyhaskett Creating Healtier Lives ________________________________ From: omkalachakra <dharmagirl@...> Coconut Oil Sent: Thu, January 13, 2011 12:32:09 PM Subject: what is your favorite cough and cold remedy?  Hi Everybody, I have been sick for about a week now. I woke up this morning and my eyes were practically glued shut. I have never experienced that before. I applied a warm compress to clean the goo and wonder what else I could do. My left eyelid is very puffy and both eyes are red, so I guess that means I have conjunctivitis. My most annoying symptom has been a dry cough. And of course I have the usual nose blowing that comes with a cold. So I am wondering what remedies you use for these ailments? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I couldn't do oil pulling effectively because of the cough. Cheers, Sherry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 For the eyes I would make a Boric Acid solution with warm water and Boric Acid powder (maybe 1t BA to 1 qt. H2O or so) and keep it in a clean glass jar or bottle. Several time a day, pour the solution from the bottle onto 2 separate cotton balls or make-up remover pads (to prevent contamination of the solution in the bottle) and bathe each eye with a separate cotton ball. Should fix you up in no time! Hope you are feeling better soon. Jan > > Hi Everybody, > > > So I am wondering what remedies you use for these ailments? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Hi Sherry! I do not ever have an issue with colds, flu's, virus's, and rarely a problem with sore throats, and I account that to me taking a healthy dose of Vitamin D3. Many people are deficient in D3, especially in the winter time. I myself take 20,000 IU's a day of the stuff. D3 can be bought at Wal-Mart for about 5 bucks a bottle, and they do come in 5000 IU strength Hope you get to feeling better!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi Everybody, I have been sick for about a week now.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 At the onset of cold or cough, i take vco and moringa oleifera tea from its powderized leaves. In half an hour runny nose/cold/cough subsides. Sometimes when i am not home and they start, i take colloidal silver (homemade) which i carry in a little bottle at all times in my bag as well as in a sprayer.. > > > > Hi Everybody, > > > > > So I am wondering what remedies you use for these ailments?

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 My favourite cough/cold remedy almost never fails, but it's not for the faint of heart. 1) Put on some lip balm. 2) Pour an 8 oz glass of tomato or vegetable juice 3) Add about a teaspoon of tabasco sauce - more if you're gutsy. 4) Take a mouthful and feel the soothing warmth on your throat. 5) Enjoy! 6) Repeat as necessary. Note: Adding vodka doesn't hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 By far the best cough & cold remedy is 50,000 iu vitamin D3. And the great thing about it is that it will work at any point in the progress of the cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I'm astounded that people can take that much. I take 3000 per day. I have found if I go up to 4000 per day I get discomfort in my lower legs at night. Any idea what the cause of that would be?

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 : Interesting reaction to D3. I commonly take 5-10,000 iu during winter and Alobar reports that he takes more. When anyone in my family gets a cold or cold onset, I have them take 40-50,000 iu. I have never had or heard of a single negative reaction and have no clue as to what is causing yours.Interestingly, your reaction sounds like what occurred in the insane asylum in the '3o's when the inmates were taking 120,000 iu/day. Certainly, 30x dose would make a huge difference... but then we are all different. My question to the group: Has anyone else here experienced a negative effect from D-3? I'd be interested in hearing.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I have known several people with negative reactions. All were taking gelcaps. I suspected the oil in the gelcaps had gone rancid. In each case, when they swithed over to Carlson's cod liver oil of Ddrops, the negative reaction went away.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 A lot of us don't believe in cleansing as a separate step, as toxin removal is an ongoing process anyway. I've never recommended it myself, and it seems not taking on cleansing as a separate step has not negatively affected peoples' health programs. Cleansing indeed may imply a withholding of nutrient as in fasting, and I don't support fasting. all good, Duncan > > In light of basing any negative reactions the body has to a root cause, could it > just be that you are trying to supplement without realizing first that your body > might need to be cleansed before it can properly absorb this vitamin? Just a > thought. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I'll bet you never got to use it long enough to get experience with it. The glory of it for me was that I started fighting off sicknesses like this pretty much right at the start of learning about it and starting to use it. Someone else in my life helped me to figure it out and once I put my finger print on my usage and saw it work, my confidence started to build. A few years after that, I felt it was time I poured 35% food grade on my hand straight to see what it would do. It burns, but it is a different kind of burn. It is not like fire, or a burn from the oven, or steam or like battery acid. It will not leave a bruise or a scar, and it will not burn for hours and hurt for days. It simply turns the skin white and it feels a little burny, but it will go away within a short time, depending on how much you spilled on yourself. Then it will disappear and there is no indication of anything happening at that site. But to get it to stop burning sooner, you can put your hand in water and rub to get the water into the skin where the peroxide is, thereby diluting it. It is wonderful stuff. I've been using it for about 12 years. I never imagined I would have a product stick with me that long, but this sure has stood the test of time for me. I think my Sonicare toothbrush will rate second, but I have only had that maybe 5 yrs. But that is a keeper, too. ________________________________ From: J Trettel <gnp222@...> Coconut Oil Sent: Tue, February 22, 2011 4:03:23 PM Subject: Re: Re: What is your favorite cough and cold remedy?

I've used straight 35% H2O2 on plantar warts, and it works great. Just soak the foot in the hottest water you can stand to soften up the wart, then cut away as much dead skin as you can with cuticle scissors, razor, etc. Then apply the peroxide to the wart. If you've cut away enough dead tissue, the peroxide will sting. Repeat as needed, with a day or two between treatments. Two treatments works for me, and it's a fraction the discomfort of having a doctor burn it off. For safe handling, I always keep a small amount of 35% peroxide in a tiny bottle, refilling as needed from the larger bottle. That way, I handle large amounts of it less often, and there's less chance of it becoming contaminated. Also, I keep the larger bottle in the deep freeze for good long term preservation; that bottle has gotta be about ten years old, and it's still liquid at freezing temps and still caustic.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 My mix is very simple. If you know and are well versed in peroxide, you know it is very forgiving and not a real exact science. So a dose for me was always just about 1/8 or 1/4 tsp into 4 oz of water or juice or tea. I never even used distilled water and it has always worked without that. Drink this on an empty stomach and if you caught your symtoms in time, they will be gone in 15 minutes. I never even timed myself after I got onto this. So if I was not feeling better in ten or so minutes, I would dose again. The times I would need to dose more than once would be when I would wake up in the morning and be sick. Then I would not know how long the symptoms were brewing in me. But this has happened to me only three times and the outcome was identical all three times. I would have to dose three times in say, 30 mins, because I knew peroxide worked and I did not want to let this sickness get hold of me. So I dosed quick. Each of the three times, after the third dose, I would lay down to keep my body quiet and let the peroxide sizzle. Soon I would have to run, because that peroxide would sizzle back up into my throat. But once I threw it up, within minutes, I was clear! ) It happened just like that each time. ________________________________ From: Silva <silvaworks@...> Coconut Oil Sent: Tue, February 22, 2011 4:41:24 PM Subject: Re: Re: What is your favorite cough and cold remedy?

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 LOL Thanks for the funny! I'm glad you think of it as teasing! I just tread lightly because peroxide is so " controversial " for some. So I test the waters and see what bites! ) I did just answer one right before yours, so that will have my regimen. But look below and I will answer you as you asked a couple more questions. ________________________________ From: Silva <silvaworks@...> Coconut Oil Sent: Tue, February 22, 2011 4:40:07 PM Subject: Re: Re: What is your favorite cough and cold remedy? Lyn, You are such a Tease! You say all these wonderful things & then, ... " Where's the rest? " . Details, please! What's the dosage? (Oral, correct?) Yes, take it orally. How much do you weigh? I am 5'4 " and weigh 110, but I do not think the dosage would change for a different size unless maybe for a child. For instance, if I had a child, I would try 1/8 tsp peroxide in 8 or 10 oz of water to start out at, and give the child sips at a time out of that big glass. As an adult, just experiment on yourself at the ratios I use and then adjust it if you think you need more or less. How much time before you feel the effects? Peroxide will empty out of an empty stomach in 15 minutes. You should feel the symptoms fade within that times. On an empty or fulll stomach? Keep your stomach empty. That way the peroxide does not have to fight off any bacteria in the food you might have in your stomach. Please inform. My pleasure.

Many of the studies studies used similar - up to 1,000,000/day Virtually all of the toxicity reports were from the use of D2. D3 simply does not suffer the same problems...

I've used straight 35% H2O2 on plantar warts, and it works great. Just soak the foot in the hottest water you can stand to soften up the wart, then cut away as much dead skin as you can with cuticle scissors, razor, etc. Then apply the peroxide to the wart. If you've cut away enough dead tissue, the peroxide will sting. Repeat as needed, with a day or two between treatments. Two treatments works for me, and it's a fraction the discomfort of having a doctor burn it off. For safe handling, I always keep a small amount of 35% peroxide in a tiny bottle, refilling as needed from the larger bottle. That way, I handle large amounts of it less often, and there's less chance of it becoming contaminated. Also, I keep the larger bottle in the deep freeze for good long term preservation; that bottle has gotta be about ten years old, and it's still liquid at freezing temps and still caustic. Good for you, ! I have heard the same from other sources, too. Boy, I wish I had known this 35 years ago instead of just 12. I grew up on a farm, and as I am sure you can imagine, playing in farm poop put warts on my hands and all my mom knew to do was take me to the doctor and have them burned off. There's a memory I will never forget. Ouch. The good thing that happened back then was, when he removed the biggest ones (those were the ones I wanted off first) the rest disappeared, too. So I did not have to go back. I like your storage idea, too. Tell me: Is your smaller bottle all solid that won't let in light? ________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep it in a tiny jar that had contained Dr. Hauschka lip balm: http://www.perfumezilla.com/images_product/hauschka-lip-balm11124.jpg It's white translucent glass. I like both the small size and the relatively wide opening (no funnel needed). Needless to say, I had to clean the jar extremely well before using it with peroxide.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Now that's something I never thought of using. When I ordered my last bottle of peroxide, I ordered for two other people, too. When my order came, what they sent me was a gallon jug. I had ordered two pints and a quart. So they corrected the order and sent me two pints and let me keep the gallon. I have been transferring from that gallon jug into small dropper bottles, but I am sure you know I have to be very careful, even with a funnel. Peroxide will bleach your counter, unless maybe it is granite. Mine is worn out formica.
