Thanks Sheri for the great info. I am storing it all away on my puter. I

need to get another file cabinet so I can start printing and have it on hand

should I ever lose my puter. :-)

Homeopathic Flu Remedies

http://www.simillimum.com/FirstAid/TheFirstResponder/FirstAidin/Influenza.html

THE HOMOEOPATHIC FIRST RESPONDER

INFLUENZA

Influenza is a acute viral miasm that affects the respiratory system and

produces generalized aches and pain, especially in the limbs and back;

malaise; prostration; fever; coryza, headache; with photophobia and

retrobulbar aching; and inflamed respiratory mucous membranes. The

incubation period is around 48 hours. The symptoms begin with sore throat

with substernal burning; nonproductive cough; and coryza. Cough usually

becomes severe and productive and causes pain in the chest. The soft

palate, posterior hard palate, tonsils and throat become reddened and

painful. The eyes water easily and the conjunctiva may be mildly inflammed.

Sweating and weakness may continue for weeks. Complications include

bronchitis; pneumonia; breathlessness; spitting of blood; pulmonary edema;

encephalitis; and death.

Old people; babies; those confined to bed; or with chronic pulmonary or

heart disease are the most at risk. Susceptibility to influenza seems to be

increased in those who have psora and TB miasms. Influenzinum, a nosode

made from the flu virus, can be used as a prophylactic during epidemics.

Baptisia has also been used for this purpose. The " remedy epidemicus " can

be found by using the totality of symptoms in several cases of the the

present epidemic.

Always best is to allow the person to cope with the illness on their own

unless problematic

Then any of the remedies that match tahe person's symptoms -you have to

match the symptoms, pregnant or not

Homeopathic remedies are perfectly safe during pregnancy
