Re: loking for advice on Strep throat

[Guest guest]

Hi there! I am not a doctor but I did find a cure while I was researching

months ago on strep. I do not know if it will help you so please think about it

before you try it. Right at the beginning of a sore throat start gargling 3

times a day with a capful of water and a capful of hydrogen peroxide for 30

seconds. of course do not swallow it! I have done this so many times with

myself and husband and it has taken it away in as little as 2 days. I was not

diagnosed with it or had a strep test,but I know how strep FEELS and I started

the gargling and it truly was amazing. Maybe its the oxygen in it? who knows

but it worked for me. hope this helps.love Janet

I never think of RF as a complication of strep throat in my practice. I will

resort to antibiotics to give the body a break from fighting a strep infection

if the symptoms are bad and not resolving, but it is not because of

complications. It does depend somewhat on where you live in the world and

whether strains of strep are causing ANY cases of RF, but in the US it is

EXTREMELY rare and not really a consideration unless there is an epidemic that

is associated with RF in the area, which has occurred occasionally in the past.

loking for advice on Strep throat

My kids have all been quite sick. FInally went to the doctor this past

thursday. I like this ped. very uch. He is supportive of non-vax and

homeschooling and didnt give me trouble about home birth. My 8 year old

dd was dx'd with strep throat. She had been sick for about 4 days when I

finally took her in. Fever, pink eye, no appetite, headache, vomiting(1

time), sore throat. I guess these are classic strep symptoms. My other

kids had similar symptoms but never had the same sore throat thing, so

never got the culture although they theoritically could have had strep as

well.

After heavy consideration we went ahead and started the amoxicillian

treatment. She has had antibiotcs a few times before for ear

infections. Incidentally she is my only vaxed child, although only

partially-to 6 mos). I felt that since the infection had gone that far I

better do something to ward off complications.

I am wondering if anyone has had a similar experience with

strep/antibiotics/complications?

I have read that rheumatic fever can set in from 7-28 days after the

strep throat.

We were doing LOTS of herbs including echinacia, while she was sick, also

ess. oils, colloidal silver, homeopathics, vit. c, etc.

I know that RF is very rare, its those darn scare tactics! ALso I read

WAY to much. A little knowledge in my case is very dangerous!!

Thanks

I've tried this too and it helps a great deal! If it doesn't, try

freshly expressed garlic juice or take a small clove of garlic,

press it (or crush it), put it in some water. Gargle and then

swallow! Yes, I know - it's not that great tasting, but, garlic

will help your throat and your body fight off cooties---but, it has

to be fresh!!!! Repeat if needed in a few hours. I had a nasty

sore throat a few weeks back and tried EVERYTHING (gargling with

listerine, hydrogen peroxide, echineacea tincture, salt water)

nothing worked for me but the garlic. Within minutes of doing it

the first time my throat was so much better and then I did it again

about an hour later and within minutes of that my throat barely

hurt. I did it one more time before going to bed and when I woke

up, my throat did not hurt.

I know I'm really late on this because I just got back to reading

mail, but 3 years ago I had strep 4 times in 2 months. The doctor

kept giving me a different antibiotic each time. (The first time my

fever was 105.) Anyway, I did grow up using herbs, but when I left

home, I got away from it. So, when I got it the 4th time in this 2

month period...I went to our local health food store and asked the

naturopath. She gave me Beta Glucan...the NOW brand. I took one

capsule a day and viola...GONE! ($10) I always keep Beta Glucan on

hand. The first sign of a sore throat from sinus....whatever. We

would take it. Our family hasn't been to a doctor in over 3 years.

Anyway, just wanted to mention this. Beta Glucan is like an immune

support. It's really great. The kind that I used was only 100mg. You

can take more and we have. Just wanted to let you all know what I've

used for strep, sinus infection, sore throat, etc.
