What's going on with you 2.0?

Hope you get well soon...

 

Hey DH, try Quercitin it boosts the immune system, triple up on chewable vitamin C, and drink hot tea, preferably chamomile with lots of pure honey in it. Honey's a natural antibiotic. I'm allergic to antibiotics and that's what I do when I get sick. You can take the Quercitin daily, and you can double the dose when you're sick without worrying about side effects. You may have to go somewhere like GNC to find it, it's not one of the more popular things that you can find at Walmart. Also gargle with hot salt water every couple of hours.

 

I've looked for a free clinic. The only one I know of is too far away to get there by bus, and none of my friends seem able to stop being self absorbed for more than two seconds to even realize I'm sick. So that means no ride. -_-

 

We've got a VitaminShoppe on the corner (or whatever the fuck that place is called)..it's a GNC of a different name, from what I can tell. Nate went to get me some golden seal earlier this morning and they got him to get oil of oregano instead and said it was much better. I can't tell a difference yet but it's supposed to boost the immune system and also specifically be good for sore throats and colds and stuff.

I've been sitting here wanting some damn yellow root, but I can't remember what the herb is. That's just what we call it back home, where one can actually go into the damn mountains and get the herb fresh. It -may- be goldenseal but I'm not sure. All I know is that when I was a kid mom would make me gargle a tea made of the shit and it took the infection away very quickly, and the only side effect was the nastiest damn taste in the world.

My mom's all about herbal remedies for damn near everything. The whole top of both her fridges are covered in bottles of herb pills. heh. Me I'd rather just pick the shit from my own garden, but I can't grow plants. They always die. So I gotta buy supplements instead.

I don't got any chamomile tea but a friend of mine the tea expert (no like seriously, he's a fucking tea guru apparently) says the fancy white tea from his tea shop is really good when one is sick, so I'll see if perhaps he could bring some over later, unless he has some chamomile laying around. The shit costs 50 bucks for like 4 ounces, I figure at that price it should get you better and also give you dinner and a movie after. agh, I'm rambling. Proof that my brain is drained. hah!

All that to say: thank you for the suggestions, madame, I will see what I can get but I might have to wait a few days. So hopefully in the meantime the oil crap and the jasmine tea I got will work.

 

Thanks love. Me too.

 

It is likely goldenseal that you reference as yellow root DH, and you should also be able to find that at Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, or just about anywhere. It's most commonly in combination with Echinacea and sometimes Zinc, because both are good for colds, allergies and such.

The tea type isn't as important as the honey. Mostly it just gives you something to put the honey in, but chamomile is calming and helps you sleep, which you need a lot more of when you're sick. If you can manage it you can just eat the honey straight by the spoonful, but it's kinda hard to do since it's so sticky and thick. But it's really good for you.

I hope you get to feeling better soon!

 

thank you ladies for trying to help
just feel a little bad now i should not had wrote this dont want anyone to think I wrote this for attention

goddess...i hate to tell you this but i think you need an antibiotic...i had what you have about a month ago and i tried everything natural and everything over the counter i could get my hands on...it was in my ears, throat and chest...i finally went to the doctor after 4 days of it...i had not been on an antibiotic for 5 years...no prescription drugs at all...he gave me a z-pac of 6 pills...and for the most part it knocked it out but still a month later there is a lingering cough...i have several friends with the same bug...one even had to go on steroids with the antibiotic...take it seriously!!

 

Slap them around then until they stop being so self-absorbed! LOL!!

Tell Nate to talk to them.
