So I'm sick... again

[Theobroma]

so I had HORRIBLE strep throat like 3 weeks ago. Doc scolded me for not going in sooner... I just wanted to let my body fight it, but it was kicking my ass hardcore. I coudlnt even open my mouth, couldnt swallow and air was now starting to feel weird when i breathed. Doc gave me anti biotics and I felt 70% better hours after taking it. I had been feeling pretty good for the last few weeks and as some of you know, I'm a fitness junkie. Running siwmming weights etc... so I was a little worried about getting sick again but I figued I would be ok. Well I work at a YMCA so I don't know if I picked up something new cuz it has been awhile...

Well today I wanted to jog and 2 days ago the temp outside went from 0C to today at -27C.

My bf had a test at school and I didn't so i went to meet up with him with warm clothes when he finished. I messaged him telling him i would be there and he said I should hurry. I get to school, hes not there. I call him and he got a ride home... and hes at home...

ahhh so sweet of him.


anyway... now i have chills and my throat feels gross. not pain but yucky... aches no fever though. aside from killing him... anyone have any help for meeeee.....

My little darling

Elderberry.

Liquid Elderberry has gotten me over quite a few bugs, including the rampant Swine Flu outbreak on Campus for the last few weeks.

If there's a RAW version, EVEN BETTER!!!!!

You can help you! Being sick = VERY hard on us mentally as well as draining physically... but you can help you.

Do a SEARCH (top right of this page) for natural remedies and see what pops up with the highest # of responses... GOOGLE the same topic and make a list of things you can afford to do RIGHT NOW that will boost your Immune System while you're in this transition period.

Oh, and can't believe I didn't say this sooner, but TODAY start drinking GREEN SMOOTHIES!!!

I have nipped strep throat in the bud in my little girl with colloidal silver. Went from a 104 temp to 99 in just a couple of hours.

Maybe you had a double whammy, infection and virus. Sounds like the virus is still kicking. Keep up your electrolytes. If I remember the advice I got when sick was to do that by adding celery to juice and drink coconut water. Raw honey is great for soothing throats. It is also anti-viral and anti-bacterial.

I have a cold/flu syrup made from elderberry and echinacea that I take when I feel something coming on. I've taken it twice this season. So far, so good.

Hope you feel better soon!

You need to REST, take the time to let your Body Heal. If its not Summer time, never leave an exercise class Wet. Dry yourself off and "WRAP" it up.
Vitamin C is a MUST during the Winter Months..........

guys be careful about raw elderberry, i think it is actually toxic raw :( i think it needs to be cooked to be safe...
