Best supplement/vitamin when you're sick?

[Guest guest]

What supplement and/or vitamin is best when you're sick, or feel

yourself getting sick, like with a cold, flu, or some type of

infection? I'm already feeling my immune system struggling and it's

not even winter yet. Thank you!

Here's what works for me;

Lots of vit c

zinc lozenges

and yjr root of a very potent herb called porter's lovage.

It works very well.

Also- I stop everything and start treating myself as soon as I have the

slightest symptoms. Get extra rest, too. Don't forget the water.

Adrienne,

I'll have to check out Porter's Lovage. Especially cause I'm having a shift in

Immune System and some previous tricks aren't as effective.

I also want to try Oil of Oregano.

About Zinc, we do all differ don't we? I used to try Zinc, but could never

tolerate it. I think it gave me a stomach ache and even hurt my throat.

Does anyone know why that would be?...bad reaction to Zinc ?

Vitamin C and l-Lysine are my companions along with cod liver oil which

contains both vitamins A and D.

Add lots of garlic and onions to the diet.

Hi, Katrina,

I don't know if the P.Lovage is widely available, but I will send you some if

you want. It is a southwest thing. Here it is called Osha'. (Accent at the end.)

You use the whole root, and keep a bit in your mouth. Yr saliva becomes full of

the active principle and slides down to where the infection has hit and-voila!

Gone.

People also make tea of it, but I just use the root-in-mouth, as I learned from

my Native American husband.

I hear that the Native Americans in Oklahama knew to use it as rattlesnake

repellant when sleeping on the ground. It has a strong odor.

I take it as often as I can remember to, aiming for every hour, but I don't

split the dose, just take lots more.

Zinc is another good cold fighter. You can buy zinc lozenges or what I prefer

if the nasal spray. It's called Zinaz and it burns just a bit at first, but

just press you nose and let it absorb. Viruses hate it and die. And since

rhinoviruses stay only in the sinuses you've got a good shot at getting them. I

do it at night so it stays put.

My reaction to Zinc is even more severe - it makes me

vomit. Even just the little bit in those Celestial

Seasonings cold care teas is enough to make me

severely nauseous.

So, uh, yeah, I'm curious as to what that could be

too.

Blessings,

Lord...grant to me, your servant,

the spirit of wholeness of being,

humble-mindedness, patience and love.

Like others who have posted, when I feel I have a bad cold I take

very large amounts of vitamin C every day,taking a dose almost every

hour. I also increase the amount of Pro-Boost I take from 1

packet/day

to 2-3 packets/day, evenly spaced. I increase the amount of Olive

Leaf

Extract and Cordycepts I take from a maintenance dose of once a day

to

3 times a day. If my sinuses are congested I use a Neti pot and

irrigate them with a solution of sea salt and warm water (diluted to

taste like tears). It feels weird at first, but u get used to it and

its great for sinus problems. If I have a sore throat i suck on Zinc

Lozenges several times a day. I drink alot of fluids and rest more

then I usually do. I find it works best if i make a list and leave

it

on my kitchen table and refer to it often, so I dont forget to keep

up

with everything. Zuzu

Forgot to mention that when i suck on Zinc Lozenges to sooth my

throat it also make me nauseous, or actually More nauseous since I am

nauseous most of the time. I try to eat more frequent, smaller mini-

meals and I make sure my stomach is full when I use the Zinc lozenges.

Depends on the brand and the flavor.

Hey Gang,

The post below made me think of an alternative to zinc lozenges, which I cannot

take either due to the nausea and funny thing it does to the tongue!

Elderberry lozenges. The ones I buy are from, I believe " Quantum "

something-or-other like that. They taste awesome and do the trick for me

especially when i have a sore-throat. They contain marshmallow which is a tissue

soother. I also have the Elderberry in a syrup. I swear to you, between that and

L-Lysine I got over my last cold in 36 hours flat.

It's worth a try and it's a million times more pleasant than zinc. Tastes a bit

like (from what I can remember) the raspberry syrup at IHOP. OH, the good ole'

days!

******Before I flushed out my detox organs I found it difficult to tolerate

any vitamins and minerals. I can take these without any problems now.
