I was just about to do that when I thought I'd ask GLP'ers for some other homeopathic input.

Might just do it until I get to the store.

Thanks for that link, A.C.

They have a pretty good price on Sambucol,too.

Could you please do me a favor and send the link directly to the capsules you use?

Thanks!!

READ UP ON THIS

1. GARGLE AND SPIT, 3% HYDROGEN PEROXIDE. KILLS BUGS IN MOUTH AND UPPER THROAT.

2. DROP SAME 3% INTO EARS. THIS KILLS BUGS ENTERING THERE. I RECENTLY FIXED NASTY GLUE EAR WITH THAT, TOOK TWO DAYS BUT THE CRAP I GOT OUT OF MY EAR.

3. MIX A NASAL ATOMISER WITH 3% AND INHALE INTO THE NOSE. CHECK THIS ONE AS THINGS CAN BE ADDED TO INCREASE EFFECTIVENESS. MAY ALSO ONLY NEED 1 %.

as requested good luck

I've read about peroxide, but is this the "food" grade one you're speaking about or the normal everyday stuff we get in the store?

Daniel, did she take it orally or in a spray?

Do you know the dosage amounts?

mix salt and baking soda in warm water...snort into nostrils several times. repeat a couple times in a day.
use other methods on this thread as well to prevent spread.
should clear it up within a couple days.

Thanks, Spot.

Some of these things I already have at hand.

If it starts to move, I'll try that honey in some green tea.

Yippee! Thanks! Inexpensive, too.

It's going to take a few days to get here, so I'm going to start the salt treatment until then.

I've been geting these infections as soon as the weather changes, maybe once or twice a year.

If that stuff works, I'll be very happy.

Thanks, A.C.!

FOOD GRADE IS VERY DANGEROUS STUFF, 35% BUT CAN BE INGESTED DUE TO ITS PURITY WHEN VERY HEAVILY DILUTED. ONLY FOR EXPERTS.

HERE WE GET PHARMA GRADE 6% WHICH I USE DIRECT ON SKIN, CUTS ETC BUT FOR INTERNAL USE I CUT IT WITH EQUAL PARTS WATER TO MAKE 3%

IN USA YOU CAN BUY 3% OVER THE COUNTER FROM ANY CHEMISTS.

ALL THE OTHER STUFF POSTED IS AMAZING AS WELL. IT GOES TO SHOW WHAT REAL CHOICES YOU HAVE AND ITS EASY TO DISCOVER HOW EFFECTIVE THEY ARE.

Use a bulb syringe. It's easier and there is no threat of getting the saline solution in your lungs.

I used the ooo straight, dipped cotton swabs in my nostrils. Ouch! But it knocked it out! Yea, I'm brave...and yes, I washed it out, but what went in, worked.

I recently discovered Airborne. It's like a seltzer you drop in water and drink, tastes better though. Large does of Vit- C, D, E, Zinc, Magnese etc..

I use Provodone (sp) iodine. I put several drops on each inside wrist several times each day. If I wash my hands and it comes off I put it back on.

This will kill of bacteria or virus in throat and nose.

I can say it really does work as I have used this several times. I am better in a day or two once it gets into my system good.

Some folks ARE ALLERGIC TO IODINE so am not recommending this to anyone you know.

better price for sambucol here..also most other things as well.

This works for me EVERY time

I put a minute amount of neat teatree on my finger and rub it at the base of my nostrils. I then sniff up. This I would do in your condition first thing in the morning and last thing at night.

What this does is eradicates the bad bacteria that multiply in the sinuses before they spread to the rest of the body.

I also rub teatree round my lymph glands and throat. Also the soles of the feet are a good point of entry but I do that more on my daughter.

If the infection has already taken hold and this is something that I do when I visit my Mother in laws as she lives in a very damp place: 1 drop of teatree in warm water taken orally 2x a day for a 2-3 days.

This is the ONLY time I would take essential oils orally. This is in line with French clinical aromatherapy but isnt advocated in my country because of the toxicity of many oils.

I would also take high doses vit C for a few days.

I very rarely get ill and if I do it is not respiratory. Respiratory is the genetic weakness in my family so it just shows that my methods work. They are cheap and attainable for me. I can get good grades of tea tree and vit. C in the shops without having to hunt round for more exotic recipes or remedys.

Feel better soon Polly

TAKE CARE of YOURSELF/LOVED ONES plus
STAY OUT of the DOCTOR’S OFFICE and ER
FLU REMEDY GUIDELINES

LOTS of LAYERS of CLOTHING, including hat and heavy socks. Stay warm and avoid drafts!


“5-2-5”
Echinacea 5 capsules
Vitamin C 2 1 gram tablets
Garlic 5 gel caps or 1 fresh clove
Take 5-2-5 combination three to four times per day.


CAYENNE PEPPER
1 to 3 capsules
Take three times during the day. DO NOT take on an empty stomach; start with 1 capsule if unaccustomed to taking Cayenne.


COLLOIDAL SILVER
1 dropper full placed at back of the throat if throat is sore otherwise place under tongue and keep in place 2 to 5 minutes, then swallow.
Repeat 3 to 4 times per day.


CINNAMON TOAST
½ tsp. cinnamon
TBLS. Honey
1 piece toasted bread
2 portions, minimum, per day






CHICKEN BROTH with RICE
Yield 2 portions.
Cups home made chicken broth (canned variety OK)
Garlic clove, crushed and finely diced
½ Jalepeno Pepper, deveined, seed and finely diced
½ tsp crushed red peppers
¾ Cup well washed rice

Just as chicken stock starts to boil add remaining ingredients and just bring to a boil again. As soon second boiling occurs, turn off heat and cover with lid and leave untouched for 20 minutes. Uncover, stir and serve immediately.

Proper eating procedure, total seriousness.
Slouch down in your favorite chair/couch in a way to make your upper stomach into a “table” to rest your bowl of soup on. Place a large bath towel over your head and bowl in order to capture all the healing vapors coming from the soup. Inhale deeply through your nose, eat the soup while under the towel “tent.”
If you are not sweating with your face having at least a little burning sensation, you aren’t trying hard enough!


SOOTHING MUSIC all day long.


INCENSE burning. Choose a light, non-overpowering variety. (Lavender)


VICKS VAPORUB
Just before going to bed, liberally apply to chest, cover with t-shirt or similar apparel under pajamas.


EARLY TO BED every night until totally recovered. SLEEP IS THE BEST CURATIVE MEASURE YOU CAN UNDERTAKE!


LET THE FEVER RUN – take temperature regularly. I do not take aspirin or other medications designed to bring down temperature because the above average temperature is Nature’s way of killing the virus and/or bacteria causing your illness. If the temperature gets out of what I feel the allowable range is, I apply an ice pack to the head area.


When you empower yourself with the ability to heal your own body, the results are amazing and the overall benefits far beyond the physical.

I have ordered from vitacost many times, they have great prices and the shipping is a flat 4.99 no matter what you order.

Here's the link to the Natural Factors Olive Leaf Extract that I just ordered more of, it seems like a really good value:

[link to www.vitacost.com]

1. OTC decongestant - psudephrine - dry out those sinuses early enough and you can avoid an infection. yeah, it's drugs, and yeah, they hassle you about buying it now.

2. saline (salt water) irrigation of the sinus. I just buy the nasal spray bottle at the drug store.

3. if I suspect there's a bug going around, I may wipe the inside of my nose with peroxide. Also use as a mouthwash occasionally. I'm not too keen on the idea of spraying that up into my sinuses, though.

Be careful, though, don't get it in your ears!

Use Oil of Oregano too.

Invest in a Neti Pot. It essentially irrigates the sinuses and nasal passages. It's worth keeping on hand and using regularly(monthly or more) to keep things clean. With all the pollution(including pollen,spores,molds,etc) in the air these days it makes sense to practice sinus cleansing.

After the initial cost of the neti pot and appropriate salt(not processed but natural salts only), no more costs except to buy more salts eventually!

It prevents typical fall/winter illnesses and snoring as well.

OIL OF OREGANO...HEALTHFOOD STORE

I think most suggestions here are good, however for a more direct approach ...

If you have a facial sauna you can use that, if not, just use a pot of boiling water with 1 drop of tea tree oil. Then inhale for 5-10 minutes.

Of course you can do the olive leaf extract but it's very expensive at $100 bottle.

I used to use olive leaf extract and it always worked but it is hard on the body just like taking antibiotics and it's expensive.

oil of oregano is reasonably priced and it doesn't slow me down.

remember that 7 cloves of raw garlic is equivalent to a shot of penecillin. so if you can chop up 1-2 cloves in small pieces and swallow them with some OJ, that would be good.
