Guest guest Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Hi guys i am so worried, I have not been able to eat hardly any solid foods for almost 3 weeks, Its horrible and when I went to my doctor he did a strep culture and said it was ok, I guess i had a throat infection at the time, yet he couldnt figure it out, meanwhile my throat has been closing up an dits even hard to swallow a pill, at first I had no mucus so I thought it was not an infection, but now I am having too much mucus I guess the infection is much bigger, I scheduled an appt with an ENT doc to do a scope because I have never had this kind of infection. but my biggest worry is that I feel very strange, i cant sleep and my body has been feeling numb, I guess its takinga toll on my body, now i cant even drink shakes and plus they make my throat feel worst, anyway I am so scared something will happen to me if i cant eat soon,I am trying to find some sort of supplement to drink that will have enough vitamins in it to hodl me up, this is by far the worst thing I have been through and to have a doctor that always lets me get sicker, i always have to figure out what is wrong, I wont be going back to him, but in any case I have been drnking paul d aro tea, anyway I just need to get in me enough calories so my body wont get sicker, my mind also feels strange, a huge amount of anxiety,let me know what you all think thanks "Don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring it's own worries,Today's troubles are enough for today."

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Hello Vanessa, Can you take liquids? If so, then Total Tonic and Echinacea tincture would be your best bet to handle the infection. As far as nutrients are concerned, here in the UK there is a vitamin store which sells sublingual vitamins, meaning you put the vitamin powder under your tongue, and it dissolves there, so no swallowing involved. Check if they sell these anywhere near you. This would at least help you in the interim. You can also try Total Nutrition (better) - simply dissolve in a glass of orange or apple juice. Other than that, liquidize raw organic fruits and veg as much as you can to give your body the needed enzymes and such like. These nutrients will also help your body to heal, so are important to get down any way you can. love Lisa - Vanessamelly herbal remedies Tuesday, November 08, 2005 1:50 PM Herbal Remedies - I am so worried still cant eat??

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Vanessa, I would suggest "Alive" whole food energizer. I mix it with apple juice and it is fairly easy to get down. "Alive" is a comprehensive whole food multi-vitamin protein drink. I found it at the Whole Food Store. It is also sold at health food stores. Sorry I can't help with your health problems.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 have you tried hot bath? Put some honey and groun black pepper on clean cloth and wrep around your neck. Live it for 6 hrs. and change. My husband had the same and it helped him. If it is possible to swollow some garlic cloves cut lenthwise and soaked with olive oil. jasminaVanessamelly wrote: Hi guys i am so worried, I have not been able to eat hardly any solid foods for almost 3 weeks, Its horrible and when I went to my doctor he did a strep culture and said it was ok, I guess i had a throat infection at the time, yet he couldnt figure it out, meanwhile my throat has been closing up an dits even hard to swallow a pill, at first I had no mucus so I thought it was not an infection, but now I am having too much mucus I guess the infection is much bigger, I scheduled an appt with an ENT doc to do a scope because I have never had this kind of infection. but my biggest worry is that I feel very strange, i cant sleep and my body has been feeling numb, I guess its takinga toll on my body, now i cant even drink shakes and plus they make my throat feel worst, anyway I am so scared something will happen to me if i cant eat soon,I am trying to find some sort of supplement to drink that will have enough vitamins in it to hodl me up, this is by far the worst thing I have been through and to have a doctor that always lets me get sicker, i always have to figure out what is wrong, I wont be going back to him, but in any case I have been drnking paul d aro tea, anyway I just need to get in me enough calories so my body wont get sicker, my mind also feels strange, a huge amount of anxiety,let me know what you all think thanks "Don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring it's own worries,Today's troubles are enough for today."

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 What about Ensure? Do you think you could drink those? They are sold in grocery stores and drugstores here in the US. You're aworring me as well! I'm getting scared for you. I want you to be well!

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Do you have essential oils of Rosemary and Lavender? Boil a small pot of water, remove from heat, add a few drops of each oil and put your head over the steam and a towel over your head to catch as much of the steam as possible. Breathe in! What about colloidal silver? Do you have that in the house? Wendy L.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Ensure is not a good choice for anyone who is sick (or for anyone who is healthy for that matter). Here are the ingredients for the vanilla: Vanilla (Retail): -D Water, sugar (sucrose), corn syrup, maltodextrin (corn), calcium caseinate, high-oleic safflower oil, canola oil, soy protein isolate, whey protein concentrate, corn oil, natural and artificial flavor, soy lecithin, carrageenan and lutein. Vitamins and Minerals: Potassium citrate, calcium phosphate tribasic, magnesium phosphate dibasic, sodium citrate, magnesium chloride, salt (sodium chloride), choline chloride, ascorbic acid, potassium chloride, ferrous sulfate, alpha-tocopheryl acetate, zinc sulfate, niacinamide, calcium pantothenate, manganese sulfate, cupric sulfate, vitamin A palmitate, thiamine chloride hydrochloride, pyridoxine hydrochloride, riboflavin, folic acid, chromium chloride, biotin, sodium molybdate, sodium selenate, potassium iodide, phylloquinone, vitamin D3 and cyanocobalamin. Yes there are a lot of vitamins but when you add in soy, corn oil, and even canola oil that negates any benefits from the vitamins. What about a whey protein shake? Dr. Mercola sells one that looks like it would do the trick. http://mercola.com/forms/whey_healthier.htm >>What about Ensure? Do you think you could drink those?

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Sorry to hear that you are still sick, one of my thoughts is that you should avoid dairy/milk products, due to them increasing mucus production and it sounds like you don't need anything to help that.
