Getting a Sore Throat....

Date: August 23, 2009 02:25AM I have been working lots of extra hours and have been just..really stressed and busy. It's time for the kids to go back to school, I think. Anyhoo..I'm feeling kind of worn down tonight. I'm thinking that the 14 hour workday and the fact that I only managed about 2 hours sleep last night (I had a REALLY bad dream-unusual for me. I mostly dream about romance and sex  ) is a contributing factor to my exhaustion.
However, my throat is sore, you know..that thick, irritating feeling at the back of your throat when you're getting a cold? I'm feeling a little congested and just...blah. Does anything think this could be detox or an actual cold? What do you think...definitely more rest, yes? Thanks and have a great weekend! BB Devon Re: Getting a Sore Throat....

Date: August 23, 2009 03:46PM Thanks! I tried the lemon juice and sea salt and plan on doing it for a couple of days, see how it works. I don't have time for a cold!
My mother used to make me gargle with warm water and salt (but not sea salt) when I was a kid, but I had never heard of the lemon juice. Thanks and BB Devon
PS-And I just wanted to say, this community is wonderful. I've not found any other raw foodists in my area, although there is a girl at work who is a vegan and she directed me to a website that she found...so at least she is understanding.
I may not post much but that does not mean I am not learning a great deal. I love reading all the informational posts and all of you are so wonderfully accommodating and helpful. It's truly a joy being here. Thank you once again! Re: Getting a Sore Throat....

Date: August 23, 2009 05:30PM I would start JUICING large amounts of Carrots, Apples, Celery, and Greens if you can. Juiced Grapes are also good for colds. Throw in any citrus that you would like. Juicing will usually blow a cold or virus right out of you pretty quick. Also drinking copious amounts of water will help - to the tune of 3-4 quarts daily. Feel better!! =) ***************************** "Educate and inform the whole mass of the people...

Date: August 23, 2009 05:40PM Every time I have "slipped" and started eating some non-raw food one of the first problems I encounter is my tonsils become uncomfortable. When I get back on the all fresh raw path the tonsils become comfortable again.
