Try gargling with salt water.

We use a veggie juice (like V-8) with garlic, hot pepper sauce and

lemon juice.  I don't know the exact measurements because I just

eyeball it.  Usually one 4-6 oz drink of this and the sore throat is

gone.

Salt water doesn't taste good but I find it's most effective for me.

Your concoction sounds perfect-just go heavy on the lemon, and maybe add some other citrus for a good boost of Vitamin C. Elderberries are wonderful "medicine", but fresh are hard to find. I grow them and keep them frozen, using them exclusively for "medicine". I am sure you can find a powdered version, though it wouldn't be as effective as if you can your hands on some fresh. Blueberries are also high in antioxidants, but of course any you find this time of year will have been grown in hothouses. I suggest ORGANIC everything, since non organic pesticides can actually cause sore throat, and you are concentrating it when you Vitamix it, so organic is important.

Don't have a concoction to drink but, I do know shiitake mushrooms are a natural antibiotic, always eat them when I am starting to get sick. Works every time. Maybe someone could come up with a way to do them into a good tasting concoction.

No, but my whole family got a TERRIBLE sore throat and I started to get it, but aborted it with one 50,000 mg dose of Vitamin D per day for 3 days in a row. If you do this at the first sign of an illness it works like a round of antibiotics (but works on viruses too).

Mmmm, shititakes!! I can imagine making a cream of shiitake mushroom soup (heavy

on the mushrooms) and adding a bit of lemon. I'll have to try that! :-)

What I did this morning was blend up a chunk of ginger, honey, termeric, 2

lemons (peeled), a dash of cayenne pepper, with some hot water. It was quite

potent (!). For lunch, I heated some tomato juice and added some greens and

garlic for a soup/smoothie. My throat feels better tonight. Placebo or not, I'm

glad to have it feeling better! -Amber

Should be 3% solution as you get in the drugstore.

35% is available in health food stores, but is way too strong.

Amber, for a sore throat, put about a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and a teaspoon of sea salt (I prefer Himalayan, but use whatever you have...just NOT MORTON'S!) in about 4 oz of comfortably warm water and gargle with that every hour or so. Used this on my kids for years. Works like a charm! (Of course they don't speak to me now, but that's another story, as is fond of saying... ;>) - it's a joke, folks!)HTH! When I was in high school, one winter I had strep throat (genuine strep, not sore throat) about once every 3 weeks for about 3 months. Finally had my tonsils out during Thanksgiving break my first year in college. Trust me...you don't want to wait until you are an adult to have your tonsils out. The Dr. said if he hadn't taken them out himself, he would have sworn they were gallstones (from the repeated

infections). Ouch. A couple of years ago I saw my roomie from that year at college and she still remembered the tonsil episode. She said I cried in my sleep from the pain. She uses the story to discourage people from waiting until adulthood for a tonsillectomy. Well, so much for that - sorry to be so OT. I do hope you feel better soon!Peggy

BTW, turmeric is excellent!

This is not a vitamix remedy but I work in an elementary school so I know this

works. Olive Leaf extract in pill form and zinc (also a pill). I will take two

pills each 4 times a day when I feel getting sick. Most of the times it helps

and prevents a cold from turning into a sinus infection or something worse. I

always tell everyone to research Olive Leaf first, but it is a natural

antibiotic. Good luck. Feel better. I will also up my Vitamin C doseage, but

probably the Vitamix will be good for that.

We also swear by Olive Leaf extract and vit c. My husband has a compromised

immune system from chemo and he has not gotten sick in a long time using

this. His cancer doctor is very impressed.

I am totally with you on the Olive Leaf Extract - it is very effective at

heading off upper respiratory tract infections.

We've used Vitamin shop 500 mg, Walmart 150 mg for daughter & Swansons 500

mg (mail order). We take it twice a day for general purposes and more if

sick. It's good for many things, just google it and see what it says.

Re: Re: sore throat concoction

*Do you mind sharing more info on the olive leaf extract? I went on Amazon

and there are so many brands as well as doses and forms. Does anyone have a

good internet source? Brand names to seek out or avoid? That kind of info

would help me. Thanks. Arlene in Ohio
