Ikaika User ID: 204551 United States 09/15/2008 07:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My mom always said she was told by a Dr that apple cider vinegar would kill Strep - and most other germs that cause sore throats too ( get organic Apple cider vinegar if possible) Quoting: Thoughts Faux Fodderwe just mixed a couple tsps or so with some water in a glass and gargled several times a day. Hope you feel better soon :-) This works. I haven't had a sore throat in thirty years. I put a bit of salt in there also. Works wonders. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 503525Oregano oil should also be added. Haven't been sick in years...literally since I went from binge drinking partier to mostly organic/natural foods and supplementing with 2 tbs organic apple cider vinegar, oregano oil, etc... Miracle-mineral-supplement will kill every single pathogen known to man, including herpes, aids, etc... It works based on physics so there is no "evolved" virus or pathogen that can become adapted to it. It is very, very, veerrryyyy cheap. So stock up! In an emergency situation, you can gargle with vinegar It is extremely disgusting You can try gargling with 50% vinegar and 50% water because it is so disgusting white distilled vinegar will be fine You can 'try' to gargle with 100% vinegar, but it is extremely disgusting strep and meningitis are both bacterial infections vinegar kills low level bacteria garlic also kills bacteria and it is stronger than vinegar and kill kill higher forms of bacteria I agree with you, gargling works... And if you want to alkanize your body then the following tonic works maricles: 2 tbs organic apple cider vinegar 1/8 teaspoon pure baking soda 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper Amazing tonic that rids people of joint pain, fibromalgia, enhances mental clarity and energy, sickness and fatigue, etc... Drink plenty of water and make sure that your breakfast is purely distilled water for the first few hours you awake in the morning. |

And you should only use it if you don't have any mentally demanding task imediately after taking it as it will temperoraly slow down reaction speed and mental and physical ability. You could probably steep the garlic in the brags organic apple cider vinegar along with oregano oil or freshly grown oregano... |

Cilantro in proven very effective of ridding the human body of heavy metals...especially mercury...which is believed by many to be responsible for autism... Everybody needs to purchase seeds for growing cilantro, oregano, olive leaf, and any of the "italian", "mexican", etc. herbs and plants. This is what our creator meant for us to use for health...not synthetics... Fuck the pharmacies! For those that don't believe in a creator...then these natural substances have "evolved" to survive these "predatorial" pathogens...so maybe the elements contained within can "neutrolize" those pathogens in the human body???... |

It is almost gone, in just two days.....because no bacteria or virus can live when wild oil of oregano is present I put the drops under my tongue and I also put drops in a little bit of water and drink it, every few hours and all I can tell you is it works it has cured a very bad case of bronchitis but that took 4 days of constant doses because I had a high fever and it was a really bad case when you get a little extra money, get the book "The Cure is in The Cupboard" by Dr. Cass Ingram which is all about only Oil of Oregano. There is only one place in the world that this species of oregano grows and it is in the middle east, so you have to buy the wild oregano because that is the medicinal kind, all the rest are garbage and useless North American Herb and Spice sells it and most good health food stores carry it. P73 Oreganol is the one you want. Also comes in capsules which you can take with the oil, but the oil is concentrated and you can smell its vapors, drink in water, put under the tongue....the book describes it in detail. |
anonymous coward User ID: 487916 United States 09/15/2008 07:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | and one thing I know for sure if you take antibotics for a step throat your body won't develop antibodies to the strep and you'll keep getting re infected over and over again.. Plus Antibiotiotic's are not risk free, toxic reactions can and do develop and put your kidney's in jeopardy, also they kill off all the benefical bacteria in you body, and make it easier for other bacteria to invade opening you up to opportunistic infections...like MRSA... the best way is to give your body time to develop antibodies....so most of the herbal remedies here are good advice, but I will add a couple of others... No. 1. Selenium available at the health food stores and cheap.. No. 2 Tumeric No. 3 Organic Garlic, and Oregano.. No. 4 Dried apricots No. 5 Vitamin C crystals I like to saute some Garlic 6 to 7 cloves, in butter and olive oil, adding a pinch or two of Oregano, then scamble in some eggs and add a pinch or two of Organic Tumeric - Tumeric is very powerful you only need a little.. ( Then while your eating this take half a tab of Selenium by mouth do this every other day, until it's gone... also Daily gargle with Sea salt in water when there is pain, and drink lots of Organic Apple juice with 1/4 teaspon of Vitamin C disolved in it.. (don't drink grapfruit juice with Tumeric...it will make you sick..) you can take up to 10 grams of Vitamin C a day... but usually when your sick you can't take more than about 5,000 without getting Diarhea...I usually stay at around 1/4 teaspon a day on non sick days,and up it to 5,000 to 7,500 when I have a cold...Apricots are obviously high in Vitamin A, so be careful only a handfull at a time or you'll OD, if you can't find them, dry Vitamin A is good, don't get the fish oil kind, fish have lots of toxic things in their livers now... so it's risky... don't take Vitamin c in tablet form it's expensive and unless you have a stong stomach it doesnt' break down well,tends to pass right on through, Vitamin C crytals get into your blood stream easiliy.. get as much sleep as possible. Your going to be ok... and developing antibodies so your probably won't catch this strain of step again.. |

Sometimes, it can even come back after the right treatment for it. Strep can make you feel like you have already died and have less energy than someone with mono....yeah, that is NO ENERGY.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 503092 United States 09/15/2008 08:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I used this for years to cure strep throat. 1,000 mg of vitamin C with Rose Hips every hour with a full glass of water for up to 8 hours. In 2 hours or less, you'll see that your throat is not hurting nearly as much. After 4-5 hours, you won't have a sore throat at all. But the vitamin C must contain rose hips. Regular vitamin C won't work. It's the rose hips that heal. You will pee out whatever excess vitamin C that doesn't get absorbed. Always drink a full glass of water with each treatment so the excess comes out. |

Not every sore throat is strep obviously most aren't, but at least read the wiki. Some of the complications, if it really is strep, can last a lifetime and also shorten it.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 474766 United States 09/15/2008 08:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hon, how do you know it's strep? Usually they have to culture it to be sure. We don't have ins and make too much money to get welfare (go figure) We go to a registered physicians assistant. He knows we don't come in unless there's a problem. He always tries to give us prescriptions that are on the inexpensive generic list at Wal-Mart & Target. If you go to the doctor, make sure they know you don't have insurance. If the doctor wants to run tests, just flat ask, "we don't have insurance, is this necessary?" That should do away with the things they like to do, "just to be on the safe side" |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 503092you forgot the mention the massive case of the shits that will come with that high a dose of vitamin C...perhaps you did so on purpose? Evil. dude, never fuck with strep. I've HAD ruematic fever and trust me it sucks for LIFE. I'll use herbs for everything else, but if I ever suspected I had strep again, I'd be at the doc's so fast I'd leave skid marks. And whoever said taking antibiotics for strep or rhuematic fever makes you more susceptible to strep is lying. All it did for me, was make me ALLERGIC to penicillin and erythmyacin because I had to take so much to kill the rheumatic fever. I've not had strep again since I was 21 and I am nearing 50 now..despite folks around me getting it. I am just extra paranoid about strep..and use high steril practices when anyone close to me gets a sore throat. The only other time I've taken high does antibiotics was a horrible OMG I am going to die kidney infection. Other than that, it's herbs and potions. |

rathmussen User ID: 383866 Canada 09/15/2008 11:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | try one of the cayenne concoctions listed above. Sipping it constantly throughout the day may help you get on top of it. Gargling with hydrogen peroxide can be good too...just make sure with all of these natural remedies that you don't hurt your throat because that will give more traction to the microbes. Alternate with honey even coconut oil if it's easy to come by. Chewing on a fresh coconut might be an alternative and chewing on real twigs of licorice can be very soothing because it has a numbing effect. Both will clean your teeth. Try not to talk and clean your fingers and your toes really well. Floss carefully and if you can get your hands on a metal tongue scraper that can be really helpful. As your immune is a bit weakened, give it a fighting chance by disinfecting everything you can think of. Swishing your mouth with oil (anything, but sesame seed oil is great (not the roasted one)) for 10 minutes and spitting it out will help keep your mouth clean. No sugar!!!! No white bread!!!! Just lots of spicy soups and water. You can get on top of this yourself, but at the first sign of things getting worse, bite the bullet and get into a clinic somehow. Good luck! |

Do it about once an hour. The salt gargle will help too. Take 2 to 4 grams of Vit C a day, as much as you can stand (that's 4 to 8 500 mg tabs or caps). It Will help. I order antibiotics from California vet supply over the internet. You can get about 4 different kinds, but, not as fast as you need it now, but maybe if you order some, You'll have some for next time you need it, but you shouldn't take antibiotics unless you have to. |

J/k, Belladona and Mercurius are the 2 best to use. Belladonna clears the throat, shrinks swelling, and works like a decongestant. Mercurius does the same but also fights off the bacteria. They have the power to create reality I could explain it better but I would need charts, graphs and an easel. By the way....which ones pink? |
