Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Try the Hydrogen peroxide (3percent) in your ears several times a day. It kicked by sinus infection in 2 days. Amy Flu Advice Well....Dangit...I was making a lot of progress on my diet and health....and BAM, now I have the full blown nasty Infuenza virus. My hubby has been sick all week so I tried to get plenty of sleep and eat well, but I still got it. Any tips on surviving this virus without too many over the counter drugs? The exhaustion/fatigue is terrible, coughing, major aches and pains, not too congested, and headaches off and on. The fever hasn't started yet....but I am just in the beginning so I am sure it will come soon. I am a little nauseous this morning too...don't know if that is the empty stomach or drainage, but eating right now is tough. I made some homemade chicken noodle soup for the DH earlier in the week...so at least I can eat some of that without much hassle, but looking for healthy quick ideas to help my immune system if possible.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Sorry you're sick! I take a lot of warm baths when I am sick like that- I think they help to regulate body temperature and they take a lot of the stress off your joints, so the aches and pains are less. I actually soak in our hot tub and put the jets on my back, which helps, so that might be good for you if you have access to a hot tub. (Just make sure that you watch the chlorine levels carefully so you don't spread the illness!). Also, I swear by Emergen-C and eating garlic when I am sick. Eat lots of broth, and get lots of rest.... Flu Advice Well....Dangit...I was making a lot of progress on my diet and health....and BAM, now I have the full blown nasty Infuenza virus.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Quite a few years ago l had what wouldn't subside being treated by my usual methods. Heard St. 's wort was a good antiviral. As l wasn't treating it as viral, tried it and it worked. Noticed Schwarzbein uses it in her standard supplement protocol. Doesn't explain why. News is saying the major flu is Fijian. Did you make coconut chicken soup?

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 <Did you make coconut chicken soup?> No, just some regular soup using some chicken stock I had made recently. My first attempt at home made chicken soup and the hubby loved it, so at least the taste was good. _________________________________________________________________ Tired of slow downloads?

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Thanks for the advice Amy. I think the worst part is, I saw how miserable my husband was so I know what to expect. I had to come into work for a brief bit this morning to get a few things done then I am back home and to bed. I wouldn't have come in at all except that 90% of all the people that work around me are out on vacation. I don't want to get anyone else sick . I don't think I have ever had the full blown flu before...just some bad colds now and again. I was going to do some baking in the next few days for X-mas gifts...but that is out of the question now. _________________________________________________________________ Have fun customizing MSN Messenger — learn how here! http://www.msnmessenger-download.com/tracking/reach_customize Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 You might try adding coconut milk to that chicken soup. Yummmy! I do it all the time with all kinds of soup.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 I think there was an article on mercola's site explaining it. I don't know how it works myself. But it did, or maybe I would have got well anyway, but it seemed to give pretty immediate results. Amy Re: Flu Advice >Try the Hydrogen peroxide (3percent) in your ears several times a >day.

I haven't tried this myself while ill, but raw garlic is supposed to be a good anti-viral. I eat kimchi with garlic a lot and haven't gotten ill since I started it, so maybe it is just elephant repellent or maybe it works. Also a neti pot (washing the nasal passages) can disrupt the breeding ground of the virus. -- Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is great for the immune system, and between the gelatin and the coconut milk, it is very thick and is a miracle for a sore throat.
