Help! Persisting nasal congestion/cough

[raweater]

I think it started because my health food store started selling a new kind of "raw" (cooked and unrefined) sugar called mucavado or something like that. I stupidly ate some for a few days in a row and immediately for flu/cold like symptoms but only nasal congestion (having to blow my noce literally every 2 minutes) and a very occasional cough.

I immediately quit the sugar, started taking natural vitamin D, raw garlic, probiotics, colloidal silver, and I'm still not cured. It's been about 5 days now and I've rarely had any symptoms for so long.

What can you recommend to help cure me ASAP?

Thanks

O.k, I've not tried this yet a friend told me to put 1/4 tsp. into a glass of warm water and drink it ~ every hour.

What I do know works is, put a few drops of GSE into a glass of water and snort it... uh huh, up the nose. Also gargle with some of what's left in the glass. Or, gargle first, then snort.

Thanks, but 1/4 tsp of what? lol

I'll also try the GSE thing, I did do a nasal flush which only provides relief for a few minutes before I'm congested again.

uh duh. Ummm baking soda. GSE is drying and it's also a natural antibiotic with no side effects.

I was thinking that Grapefruit Seed extract snorted would make the poor fella lose his whole noce....what on earth is a noce anyway??

phew is all I can say

on a mo serious note, GSE is amazing.

Thanks, I just came back from the grocery store ith 2 kg of baking soda (I saw out and use some for cleaning purposes too, I don't intend on taking 2 kg to treat my symptoms).

Strangely enough Dr Mercola just had an article a few days ago about baking soda being used to prevent and cure flus and colds in the early 1900s before the FDA made it illegal to use medically.

Have you tried a Neti Pot? you can pick them up at wal-greens, wal- mart etc. or whole foods sells a fancy one. you use warm water and Sea Salt and flush your sinus with it. it works! its weird the first time but really washes out the sinus cavity! i use it a LOT in the spring when my allergies go wonky.

Yes as I said I did a nasal flush but that of course is only a band aid solution like drugs and in no way addresses the cause of the problem to cure it.

You can prevent allergies before they happen rather than having to resort to band aid solutions.

The nasal flush does relieve symptoms for about 5 minutes but I need to cure the problem to regain my health.

I started taking baking soda and am hopeful it will cure me.

Yes amping ones immune system and finding the root cause is good.

I see netti as a profound preventative. It flushes out the nasal passages and cleans the sinus if one is prone to have challenges in that area. That is where alot of flus and virus enter the body. Hands, eyes, nose and mouth.

I love Miss Netti if I ever have anything. I have not used it much at all in my raw life. I had those virus things alot.Raw made it gone. U know like goo-gone? its flu-gone.

Hey we could bottle raw and call it FLu-BeGone..ugh bottles means cooked..dogGONEIT (now the dog is missing..drat!).hahahaha..she is just a lil silly this a.m.
