Strep? Anti-Biotics? Help...
Posted by: Anonymous User ()

Hey all,
Every winter this seems to be a problem. Well, I'll give you my symptoms. I went out of state for the weekend to do a video shoot and when I came back (lack of sleep really did me in), I was very much weak, had sore throat glands, mucus, headache, etc (yesterday) and when I got in, pretty much crashed the whole night (from 7:00 PM til 7:00 AM, got up took a shower to wash out pores of skin and then slept again til about 2:00 PM) and I'm wondering if there is a cure (probably rest which I am doing) which doesn't have to do with anti-biotics (an alternative perhaps?) ... When I sleep, I'm cold and then get too hot. I have a hard time staying warm under the covers. My hands are very cold, etc. Any help would be appreciated...

I've been told that raw garlic is the most powerful antibiotic known to man and to start it in small doses, increasing as needed/tolerated only. Don't take it by itself but with some type of food. Some times I use 2 cloves. It's also a stomach irritant when over eaten, etc.

I'm not advocating anything but just giving you more food for thought and research. I hope this helps.

I was going to suggest raw garlic too. But if your symptoms don't improve or worsen, please don't hesitate to get medical attention.

I recommend water fasting and rest until it's gone. That's what I did some months ago when I had tonsillitis - it worked nicely. The second day was the hardest because my throat was so sore and swollen that I could barely swallow water. I mostly slept.
By the end of day 3 I felt good,and on day 4 my throat was completely healed.

kombucha tea is good for immune support. I'd do the garlic too. i usually eat about 8 cloves in a smoothie. you can taste it, and smell it on me. but its magic.

Scott,

If it were me, I would get as much sleep and rest as possible, and perhaps not eat anything except water until the symptoms went away. If lack of rest made me sick, then only getting sufficient rest and sleep will help heal me.
