Curses - Sick Again!

[Guest guest]

Hey Chris,

 

Gecmis olsun. And congratulations on the job. :-P

Its probably the same one .. it hasn't REALLY gone away yet.

Wow! I can't believe I'm hearing YOU say you would take synthetic

antibiotics! ;-p

 

> Thank goodness its not strep - just some kind of viral infection,

 

But .. you'd be better off if it were strep .. you could knock it in 12

to 18 hours .. with Origanum. With a virus, the best you can do is try

to weaken it while rebuilding your own immune system and cause it to go

back into hiding .. into retrograde .. and stop replicating itself.

Sniff Oregano .. sniff Rosemary .. sniff Eucalyptus globulus in a warm

coffee cup of water with a towel over your head. The Oregano/Rosemary

will kill microbial critters and scare a virus .. and the Rosemary will

help you to breath .. open nasal and bronchial passages .. E. globulus

will help the nasal and sinus problems. Sniffing is NOT going to hurt a

pregnant woman .. and you know that!

Agree. I had a bitch of a problem last week. Felt like a Mack truck

had run me over. I slept THIRTY-THREE hours. Got up around every hour

to pee and drink a glass of water .. and 4-5 times I sniffed the oils I

mentioned above .. then back to the sack. I didn't ingest any oils as I

was not eating .. just sniffed, which is very effective. In my entire

life I've never slept that long and with but one exception (pneumonia) I

have NEVER gone to bed because of an illness .. but I lacked the energy

to walk the 15 yards to the john .. felt like I was fading for sure.

 

At the end of that period, I felt around 80% better .. but it hung in

there for another 48 hours or so. I sniffed EO and took Vit. C. But

for soup and water, that was all .. and it passed. I believe .. it was

a case of walking pneumonia .. I had all the symptoms.

 

I know its not possible for you to crash that long .. but if you're

still under the weather come Friday, you might wanna let Sean visit with

Dave for the weekend. ;-p

 

> But I am working on getting better and I'm glad that I can have my

> immune system back in just another couple of months *LOL*

 

You can have it back (relatively) now if you avoid the synthetics and do

a buncha sniffing. I wouldn't consider ingesting now .. but there is no

need to do that .. sniffing will work fine. That's what Aromatherapy is

all about - huh?

How you're feeling better now .. and really smiling. :-D
