Guest guest Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Hello all: Since the good news regarding the projected shortage of flu vaccine I am receiving more attention than I usually get from friends, clients and family regarding what I would do to prevent the flu. I have a number of methods that I use that are effective for me, however I am sure there is much more perhaps better methods from the many brilliant people on the various forums that I belong to, including this one. I am going to write up a list under various headings and would be honored to include any of your methods as well. I would of course share it with anyone who asked for it. My list would include my own groupings such as Herbal: immune enhancers- Homeopathic: Mucococcinum and Ocillicoccinum, Colloidal Silver: including the Nasal Spray recipe, Rife , Ozone. I am sure I will come up with more once I begin to think more about it. It seems to me this is in keeping with the general philosophy of our groups and a service we could provide to those who would desire some help from the Natural Health community. Those wishing their names and contact information listed should let me know as well as those who do not wish it. TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Prevention: 10 ppm Colloidal Silver orally 1-3 cups a day during flu season. Spray eyes, nose and drops in ears when exposed to crowds or feeling really tired. Nebulize 20% DMSO and CS if any lung symptoms or when allergies cause mucous. Olive Leaf is also a favorite herb I use for flu. Mostly for treating it which I have not had to do since I started CS last November. Olive Leaf is also preventative. Yarrow comes to mind as a preventative as well. Of course Golden Seal and Ehinacea do too, but some say these herbs are being over used. I also find them too hard on the stomach, CS is soooo much easier. Just avoided some bad food poisoning with CS last week, serious case was averted by drinking 2 cups of 10 ppm immediately and following up with sips for the next few hours.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 Dear Garnet and all, Wondering what the effect of over using botanicals like goldenseal/echinacea would be. If the thought is that a resistance would result, then would over using CS/EIS be a possibility as well? Thanks for all the great information, Deborah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 From over 2 years of reading and doing my best to keep up with CS info, I have found no evidence that bacteria, virus, fungal organisms develops resistance to it. (with the single exception of a bacteria that lives in silver mines). That is the beauty of it. It works by a different mechanism than conventional antibiotics. There is very long experience with various silver forms to combat disease organisms, for over a hundred years, IIRR, and things simply don't seem to become resistant. Contrast this to conventional abx, where serious resistance to any abx can develop in a couple decades or so. This doesn't mean that EIS works for every condition in every person. Oral use doesn't always do the trick. You have to get the EIS in contact with the bacteria or virus for it to be able to kill the germs. So one should tailor the application/use to the problem. sol deborah byron wrote: >Dear Garnet and all, > >Wondering what the effect of over using botanicals like >goldenseal/echinacea would be.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 For Flu I also use Lomatium, which kills viruses and St 's Wort (aka Hypericum). Herb Pharm makes a combo of these two. Grapes and grape juice are also anti-viral, the darker skinned the better. Alkalinizing your system by your diet is a good preventative. Google Alkalinize and Foods for more info. The food preservative BHT kills envelope viruses like herpes so can be helpful during the flu, mixed with oil and used topically it kills herpes and can be taken with oil or high fat meal, 500-1000 mg daily. Golden Seal long term is liver toxic. Ehcinacea can only stimulate Killer T Cells for so long before the immune system reacts by not reacting. Pulsing is often recommended in many herbal regimens. And only taking Ehcinacea and GS during an outbreak or risk of one, or when sick of course. It's just part of knowing how to use plants as medicine -- know their side effects, ask a GOOD herbalist before taking something you are not familiar with. Herbs can hurt you as well as help you. On over using CS/EIS all I know is that a bunch of people have taken an appreciable amount every day for many years with no untoward effects. Bacterial resistance is a matter of selecting out the individuals who are naturally immune. When these cells lines reproduce you have a population of resistant bacteria -- at least to that antibiotic. DMSO will by pass this resistance and carry the antibiotic passed the resistance at the cell membrane. Viruses do not become resistant but their genetic material can mutate, hence the ready supply of " new " viruses.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Golden seal should not be taken for more than two weeks. If you take it longer and notice a metalic taste in the mouth it is because you are building toxic levels. Stop and it will pass.
