So dont focus on that when you redpill. Let that be something they figure out for themselves. Give them the pills that are easiest to swallow first
So I've been sick since Friday, and the symptoms follow both regular flu and coronavirus (imagine that). I think I am figuring out why so many pepple get super sick with this though.
The first symptoms were sore throat and fever, along with the body aches and chills that accompany fever.
I didnt treat the fever or the aches, but I started getting super hydrated as fast as I could and piled on the blankets. Drank Gatorade, water, and hot herbal tea.
Then came the tickly, tight cough. I think that's where people are going wrong. For that cough, you need to not try to make it go away but rather make it 'worse', which in fact is making it better. This means turning it from dry/unproductive to wet/productive. How to do that? Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate AND take plain old Mucinex (or generic guaifenisen) around the clock. This allows you co cough out the crap rather than letting it stay in the bronchial tubes, which is (in my experience) what can lead to worse conditions. I got one of my kids through pneumonia twice when he was a baby without ever setting foot in a hospita orgiving him antibioticsl - thanks to a very intelligent/enlightened pediatrician.
I'm also using tea tree oil in a diffuser nonstop. Tea tree is a natural antipatjigen and it eases breathing too, so it is very helpful.
So far no doc, but the fever is gone and the cough is going from dry to wet. Throat hurts like a bitch but that's from the cough and I have Ricola drops.
Maybe no one wants to know any of this, but maybe it will help some other sickie, which is the only reason I typed it all out
I always keep local honey on hand, and that's what goes in the hot tea. I should have added that
Thanks, havent used that. Tea tree is my go-to, along with nano silver. But I also treat the symptoms (cough) with the Mucinex to loosen up the mucus
Thank you. Working on it. Fever free for 24 hours now but this cough is a beast
The tickly throat is the mucus. Make it come out ot itll get worse
I see what you did there. This board has seen plenty of my chest over the past 2 years
I dont know about this. But I do know Trump really really hates Chinese steel. And Huawei. Could be related
Damn it. I just placed a same day order for tea tree. Wish I had seen this. I will order neem now too
Thank you. Will try this if I dont continue to get better. I tried to post the more mainstream stuff I'm doing for the people who are less confident in the folksy stuff. I have nano silver and take it daily, along with mega D3/K2, C (as elderberry which also has Zinc)
You already know me and if I post those now itll cloud the stuff I posted about treating this crud. Whatever it is, it came on really fast. Fine one minute and literally sick as a dog the next. Hit me Friday while I was at work. Hope I didnt make anyone sick before I came home
With Amazon?
If everything I posted, I think the tea tree oil in diffuser and hydration are the top two things I recommend, with 12-hr Mucinex a strong third
But read all thr replies my post got - solid stuff there as well
I cant stress enough how important it is to make that cough become productive. I think that is the key that people who end up in hospital are missing. Stay hydrated - and that means chug. I have been chugging gatorade and water. Minimum 16 oz every hour
'Vita' in the name?
Its like the whole thing is a huge movie
I would kill for some of that right now
I have some excellent electrolyte powder. In my desk. At work :(
I dont think I will be sick long enough to order more for this bout, but I sure wish I had brought it home on Friday. I have this stuff
I dont want to stop the cough, want to make the cough productive, or 'wet'
All good things. I have to work from home til well. Large company, has instituted strict measures because of the coronavirus craze. Our HQ is in Bellevue WA. Much panic
Generics are great. Mucinex is just recognizable to the masses. Smarty pants will look at the ingredient of it and buy generic. I just happened to have a box of Mucinex handy so that's what I'm taking
The key is it only works if you chug fluids
Otherwise it is useless
That's the thing. Make it productive, get the gunk out. at the same time, prevent production of more gunk. Or stop the cough and get sicker. I prefer to get well and avoid doctors
I have no underlying health issues, just this crap, whatever it is
Thank you for this info. I hadn't thought about it but I realize you're 100% correct
That is great news. I've improved just since I woke up and started the tea tree oil diffuser and took an expectorant
Yes! I'm glad someone gets it. Im positive this is why so many get so sick. I mentally thank my old pediatrician from the 90s who taught me this stuff. Expectorants are key, hydration is key, and whatever you do, stay the fuck away from antihistamines when sick. they turn mucus to paste
Agreed. Do you have this book?
I never get sick so I am a little rusty about my remedies, but I just pulled this book out again
My great grandpa was a bee keeper. He ate honeycomb every day for breakfast. He was also into acupressure - he was always trying to show me the pressure points in my feet for every ailment. Sure do miss him and his wisdom. He could fix all broken things
He had an old, old book about it (and this was back in the 70s, it was old even then)
I was told this very thing about a decade ago. I think you arent wrong, anon
