FLU REMEDIES

[Timahani]

Does anyone have some good old fashion remedies for that nasty flu?

How about for a Sore Throat?

 

[Yanni depp]

Gargle salt water. Or put a pinch of salt in your gums for a saline wash on the sore throat.
Whenever i went to the hospital, they are always pushing for ingesting lots of fluids for the flu. Hope you get better soon! God bless!

Thank you . I finally went to the doctor today . I just don't know how I can help my immune system. I never catch a simple cold. I always end up with bronchitis or pneumonia...something lasting weeks. I just wonder what I can do about that?

On top of it,
I got this nasty oral thrush forming in my mouth...hopefully, these antibiotics and me taken this probiotic yogurt will help

*Salt as above,
*Oregano oil (its a natural antibiotic & antifungal, taste nasty as **** but works )
*Colidal silver, put under tounge & hold for 30 seconds then try to gargle it/let it trickle down throat before swallowing.
*Olive leaf
*Collostrum

Antibiotics dont help with thrush (yeast...ie yeast infection) You need something that has antifungal propertys. (most of the above are antifungal as well as antibiotic or antiviral)

Thank you hun, because this taste in my mouth is driving me crazy!

Drink lots of water and orange juice. I like a hot tea with lemon and honey. Some of my mom's old remedies include eating a roasted onion and putting a tiny pinch of cayenne pepper in tea (to help reduce fever). Gargle with salt water for the sore throat. Eat some nourishing chicken noodle soup. Get lots of rest. Nyquil helps me sleep if I'm having trouble, but I try not to use that if possible.

I hope you feel better soon!

Just a note... Thrush/yeast feeds off sugar so the best way to deal with it is to cut out all sugar AND flour/bread/grains or at least cut it back as much as possible. (Your body converts grains into sugar so it will feed the yeast just as well as straight up sugar) at least untill you get rid of it.

Hi Runswithdogs,

Sugar is my gulity pleasure...I am ridiculous when it comes to adding sugar. I really need to work on that just for my general health lol. Thanks everyone for your tips

The antibiotics will make your thrush worse as does sugar. If you cut back drastically on the sugar and increase probiotics, you will help build up your immune system. Also, take LOTS of vitamin C! Lemon water, citruses, vitamin form, you can never have too much vitamin C. Garlic is also great for killing the bad bacteria that's making you sick.
