Thread: Another case of the creeping crud

    Another case of the creeping crud

    *whine moan bitch grumble*

    yep.. started with the sore throat.. all of a sudden.. there it was

    took extra C and zinc immediately. Chugged and gargled with colloidal silver.
    went to bed.. way early. Woke a lot during the night.. trying to swallow.. pain.
    Elderberry lozenges..

    Next day.. yep.. creeps around, sneaks into my back teeth.. arghghgh and my voice is almost non existent. Cross between Bea Arthur and James Hedfield.
    double up on C and zinc and more silver..
    coconut oil pull.. serious bone broth..
    elderberry cough remedy.. bed.. crappy sleep

    Today.. awoke with a lovely cough too - hurty one - less voice than yesterday (fantastic with a mostly deaf dad to care for who I'm trying to not share air with right now)

    ate a smashed clove of garlic with salt
    chasing with hot tea of
    echinacea, ginger, roobios, lemon and honey

    Planning more broth.. maybe some tumeric tea (not in a dairy product)

    Am I missing anything?

    Got the chronic stuffy nose yet? When that happens, neti pot. Looks gross but it works better than anything and has zero side effects.

    no stuffy nose.. no voice.. sore throat.. violent cough (infrequent) but breathing just fine

    Spoonfuls of local honey might help.

    This stuff has always worked for me.

    Sore throat, gargle with 10 drops in half a glass of water then swallow it.

    Stuffed up nose, put 4 drops in a 1.5 oz bottle of saline nasal spray, shake well and use.

    Garlic and honey syrup. Super easy to make. 5-8 cloves of garlic (minced) and 1 cup of honey allow it to sit overnight.

    Here's an easy enough recipe to follow: https://www.growingupherbal.com/how-...t-more-garlic/






    Echinacea, Licorice and Honey All Natural Cough Syrup
    Author: Sara – My Merry Messy Life
    Prep time: 5 mins
    Cook time: 50 mins
    Total time: 55 mins
    A tasty and effective recipe for an all-natural cough syrup that actually works to boost the immune system and suppress a cough.
    Ingredients
    1/2 cup echinacea root
    1/2 cup licorice root
    3/4 to 1 cup honey (raw, organic, local honey is best)
    4 cups distilled water
    1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
    2 tbsp. fresh ginger root, minced or finely chopped
    Instructions
    Place the echinacea, licorice, cinnamon and ginger into a pot of 3 cups of distilled water.
    Heat water until boiling, then reduce to a simmer for 45 minutes (the longer it simmers the more goodness you’ll get out of the herbs). Reduce the water by half.
    Sift out the herbs from the water by using a French press or cheese cloth.
    Pour into a jar and let it cool until warm.
    Add the honey and stir.
    Take 1-2 tablespoons 2-3 times a day at the first sign of a cold or flu and continue taking as needed.

    I've been sick, too. Same thing. I feel a lot better but the cough is still hanging around. Not pissing my pants coughing like I was doing on the 4th but it's still there. I just drank a bunch hot tea with honey and drank some cough syrup when I had to be around people.

    i don't know if I'm getting better or just getting used to the crud. Sore throat.. check, cough.. check, my voice is sorta back.. not normal but not a whisper squeak today.. sleeping is still a challenge *hack.. kagle..run to pottie*.

    I had to cut back on vit C.. we know the symptoms of C saturation.. almost got there.

    I am ooooozzzzing garlic fragrance wherever I wander. I hope elephant garlic has the same healing properties as standard garlic .. I've been eating a good size clove/toe? every day.. can't smell much else.

    And now the AC is on the fritz.. not cooling worth a crap and I really REALLY do not feel like going outside.. at all.. much less to inspect/clean the coils. It's hot in the house but way hotter out there..

    yep.. still whining
