glad to hear you are feeling better.

 

[Ariel]

Augh! Jan, I'm still losing that hour over and over again!

May I suggest that once we get used to the time change again we just stay there?

 

[bcauser]

Well our lost hour sent me into a tailspin, I am now fighting a cold and a good old sore throat!! See what loseing sleep does?? Oh well I was due, haven't had a cold in years---really. Please remember a little prayer that it won't go into something else.

Yep and soup is soooo good when you don't feel well, thanks

I like chicken noodle soup. Does that count?

Honey is an excellent antibiotic, too, as well as garlic and oregano oil.

Hey Seeking thank you very much.

 

[Ariel]

Bcauser, I'm so sorry you've been sick! And I think you're right, the time change really messes up sleep, and we're just short-changed.

What great advice you got! Garlic and onions both have natural anti-viral and antibiotic agents in them. I take garlic supplements for this reason, and am almost never sick.

But sometimes I get sick, too. Homemade chicken soup, made with the whole chicken carcass is especially effective. Apparently the marrow from the bones has an anti-viral agent. Even using the chicken meat alone gets some of this agent into the soup.

And the cooked carrots in the soup are also are full of anti-viral agents as well.

I hope you get to feeling better!

 

[Jim1927]

Honey can also be a killer...........for diabetics!!!!!!

Cheers,

You're right! I didn't even think of that. But there's other things you can take. Mushroom supplements are good too. And Olive Leaf Supplements. These are good for building up your immune system.

hello seeking
never heard of mushroom supplements

 

[Heart of a Seeker]

Hi Jojo!

Yes, there's Maitake and Shiitake and combinations. You can get that stuff at the Natural Food Stores or online where they sell supplements.

 

[Ariel]

That's it!

Sautee onions and garlic in olive and oregano oil, add mushrooms, maitake and [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]ake, dribble honey over it all, add chicken marrow and mashed carrots and enjoy!

Yum.

chicken soup is simply another example of the PLACEBO-effect.
Today's brain imagery techniques do show that thoughts and beliefs not only affect one's psychological state, but also cause the body to undergo actual biological changes.

Research has confirmed that a "placebo effect"-- can at times improve a condition simply
because the person has the expectation that it will be helpful.
"Expectation is a powerful thing," says Robert DeLap, M.D., (head of one of the Food and Drug Administration's Offices of Drug Evaluation). "The more you believe you're going to benefit from a treatment, the more likely it is that you will experience a benefit."

The placebo effect is psychological, due to a belief in the treatment or to a subjective feeling of improvement. "The critical factor," says Irving Kirsch, a psychologist at the University of Connecticut, "is our beliefs re what's going to happen to us. You don't have to rely on drugs to see profound transformation."

A person's beliefs and hopes about a treatment, combined with their suggestibility, may have a significant biochemical effect. Sensory experience and thoughts can affect neurochemistry. The body's neurochemical system affects and is affected by other biochemical systems, including the hormonal and immune systems. Thus, it is consistent with current knowledge that a person's hopeful attitude and beliefs are very important to their physical well-being and recovery from injury or illness.

However, it may be that much of the placebo effect is not a matter of mind over molecules, but of mind over behavior. A part of the behavior of a "sick" person is learned. So is part of the behavior of a person in pain. In short, there is a certain amount of role-playing by ill or hurt people. Role-playing is not the same as faking or malingering. The behavior of sick or injured persons is socially and culturally based to some extent. The placebo effect may be a measurement of changed behavior affected by a belief in the treatment. The changed behavior includes a change in attitude, in what one says about how one feels, and how one acts. It may also affect one's body chemistry.

1. In a study of asthmatics, researchers found that they could produce dilation of the airways by
simply telling people they were inhaling a bronchiodilator, even when they weren't.

2. Patients suffering pain after wisdom-tooth extraction got just as much relief from a fake application of ultrasound as
from a real one, so long as both patient and therapist thought the machine was on.

3. Doctors in one study successfully eliminated warts by painting them with a brightly colored, inert dye and
promising patients the warts would be gone when the color wore off.

4. and your "chicken-soup" amounts to the same thing: a Belief, taught you by someone in 'authority' (most commonly maternal), combined with a Hopeful expectant-attitude... and voila , that part of your mind which can NOT judge,
the difference between fantasy & fact, then does its level-best creating (what you keep telling yourself over & over IS) "reality".

I think this is what Springrain is talking about from the Mayo Clinic:

Chicken soup. Generations of parents have spooned chicken soup into their sick children. Now scientists have put chicken soup to the test, discovering that it does seem to help relieve cold and flu symptoms in two ways. First, it acts as an anti-inflammatory by inhibiting the movement of neutrophils — immune system cells that participate in the body's inflammatory response. Second, it temporarily speeds up the movement of mucus through the nose, helping relieve congestion and limiting the amount of time viruses are in contact with the nose lining. Researchers at the University of Nebraska compared homemade chicken soup with canned versions and found that many, though not all, canned chicken soups worked just as well as soups made from scratch.

According to this, it is more than the placebo effect.

Jim - Looks like chicken noodle soup works!
