the common cold

[intuitivegal]

Shelly, I am so mad. I have not been sick all winter but that has come to an end. I was exposed to someone elses cold germs and I have a sore throat because of it. What can I do besides using echinachea/goldenseal to minimize it or get rid of it. I wish people could keep their germs to themselves.

Would the cleansing drink help?

I am doing parasite cleansing. Can that affect someone's immune system?

Loads of Vit C, juice fasting, sweating (sauna/baths/exercise) all helps. I find olive leaf tincture very helpful.

I was in the health food store yesterday and was looking at olive leaf extract pills but didn't buy it . I did buy triphala and echinacea/goldenseal. I will try some of your suggestions invinsible.

Colds/Flu is in the FAQ under Ailments. One of the best things to do at first signs of sore throat symptoms is to take 500 mg of Calcium 2x a day, give the feet a hot bath in epsom salts (it helsp the sinus/throat area immensely), and do some sinus irrigation wtih a zinc-based cleanser. Taking zinc also helps.

I wouldn't take echinacea unless the glands under your jaw are very swollen. And only take it for 3 days tops.

Drink the Cleansing Drink 2-3 times a day too. Sweating is always good, as is rebounding.

Good luck!

Oil of oregano, the tincture 2 drops 3x a day and the dried, 3 capsules 3x a day will knock any cold or sore throat to its feet. I do this at the first sign of any illness and it is miraculous!!!
