A sore throat such as you describe can be from anything. I would NEVER

take antibiotics for it.

Take high doses of vitamin C - several grams a day. Echinacea,

And get a good homeopathic book (if you don't have a homeopath) and find

the symptoms that match your sore throat and use that remedy. Especially

don't take antibiotics if you are nursing. Also drink some of your own

breastmilk.

Also gargling with salt water helps.

Doesn't your homeopath have remedy that matches your symptom picture?

SORE THROAT

Bacteria, virus, and even fungus can cause throat inflammation. Doctors are

most concerned when the cause is B hemolytic strep. While the bacteria itself

poses only a minor threat to the host, it is the allergic reaction to immune

complexes created by the body to fight the germ that can cause scarlet fever,

rheumatic heart disease, and glomerular nephritis. Because the throat affords

easy access, symptomatic relief is often quite rapid with the administration

of GSE. Thoroughly mix 15 to 20 drops of NutriBiotic GSE liquid, or two

tablets, pulverized, into 6 to 8 ounces water or diluted juice. Gargle deep

in the throat before swallowing. Swallowing the solution insures that areas

of the throat inaccessible to gargling are reached and also helps treat the

infection systemically. For small children, mix one or two drops into any

heavy syrup, and spoon it in. The syrup will slow things down and give the

GSE longer to work.<A HREF= " http://www.gfex.com/cit-uses.htm " >Click here:

This is NOT true.

Doesn't your homeopath have remedy that matches your symptom picture?

Because he is both a family pract. and homeopath and he had just prescribed

the antibiot. I didn't really jump on the idea to figure out a remedy for my

sore throat. He had mentioned it but at the time I was so sick and tired and

just wanted to get home. I'm calling him later to see if he can recommend

something because my throat is KILLING me! Lots of people are recommending GSE

and colloidal silver, but aren't giving me any real research or info. on dosages

etc. It's hard to research when you are sick and I need to be non-contagious so

I can go back to work with kids. It's so tiring wanting to do the right things

for your health. I wish I could just be ignorant again and believe what doctors

tell me to do! Thanks again.

Don't we all wish we were ignorant again - well not really.

But if your doc is prescribing antibiotics he isn't a homeopath. Sorry.

Garlic has been found to be more potent than penicillin for treating strep

throat. You'll need to eat it raw, though, since cooking it destroys the

compounds responsible for the antibiotic effects. Odor controlled garlic

pills are said to be useless as well. You first need to crush it with the

side of a large knife, or chew it a little before swallowing to release the

allicin. I just chew it a little, then quickly drink it down with water. It

feels good on the throat. Eat as much and as often as you can handle. I also

take vitamin C in large amounts (2,000 mgs every two hours until I reach

bowel tolerance) and vitamin A in the form of beta carotene.

Antibiotics do nothing for me since I am resistant to them due to taking

tetracycline and erythromycin for seven years straight when I was a teen for

acne. I had no clue at the time, and it really messed up my immune system.

If I ever have a life-threatening infection, I will surely stay away from a

hospital since there is nothing they can do but make it worse. Fortunately,

there are some very good alternatives to antibiotics that I've had great

success with. I'm prone to bladder infections which I can always clear up

with herbs and cranberry extract. Likewise, I've eliminated strep and other

infections by eating garlic.

This is not medical advice; just letting you know what works for me!

Hooray for Garlic! My husband also chews garlic....often tucking a clove

of it in his cheek. It is the only thing that works for him. Leaves him

smelling like a pizzeria!

[Guest guest]

I tried eaaating a clove of garlic once and it burned all the way down so

much that it was actually scary! It did wipe out my cold though. How do

you do it? Does it set you on fire or was it just me? I remember chasing

it down with a slice of bread just to absorb some of the shock. Curious

about what it was like for you.

Is the antibiotic component completely destroyed? If not, then very large

quantities of garlic partially cooked might do the job? Wishful thinking.

I tend to like really spicy foods so it's not too bad for me. I have to have the

water with it or I can't do it. You can also put it in food like mashed

potatoes, but make sure you chew the pieces a little so the garlic is crushed.

When I'm sick I know I need to have the garlic so I just make myself deal with

it. Everyone is different, so eating garlic is not for everyone. I know I could

never get my daughter to do this and I won't even try!

By the way, to get rid of the smell of garlic on your breath, chew on some

parsley.

(I hope I don't sound like a complete maniac!)

Thanks! Also, he is throwing up! He can't keep anything down! He's had

nothing to eat, which is okay, but he can't seem to keep down liquids either.

I keep trying to get him to take a sip here and there, which he does...he is

very cooperative....and a bite here or there and very slowly of pieces of a

cracker. He's asleep again.

Just sent some of the homeopathic info.

You find the ONE remedy that matches the symptoms the best - cough and

fever and sorethroat symptoms.

May want to take my class.

But if you are getting over and over and your son as the candida, you

really should see a homeopath and get this sorted out once and for all.

I live in GA. I did get the antibiotics, but I don't want to give it to him.

I don't want to use that stuff. I want what's good for his body and ours.

Also, he is throwing up,...almost like flu-like symptoms. He's been sleeping

a lot. Although I was up with him until 2am this morning before he decided he

wanted to go to his bed. Man, 53 lbs is getting quite heavy to pick up!

Anyway, he was up again at 8 this morning.

Also, besides he complaining about his stomach hurting, due to throwing I

imagine...he's complaining of his head hurting. He doesn't have a fever

anymore and he's not complaining of his throat hurting anymore either. I did

take him to the doc (because that's all I know right now), and they did a

strep test and said that it was positive.

I am learning so much from you guys. I need to learn the basics first though.

Help!

Re: Strep throat

great Keely,, I'll check out that post.

I tried testing/removed/installed all weekend w/ out any relief. But I kept

getting a " no " to strep... the doc never confirmed,,,just saw how bad it looked

and said an antibiotic is what I needed (ugh) well I tested " yes " to it being

a virus... and got a " yes " in regards to needing an antibiotic... does any of

this make sense? is that possible? a virus in the throat that needed

antibiotics... maybe I needed it for something else? To be honest I was/am

feeling surprised that antibiotics would ever be given a yes.. maybe I'm

switched/unswitched ...... anyway talking out loud thanks for listening,, off

to see your post,,

[Guest guest]

Strep is caused by a compromised immune system -- I'm living proof! EVERY

year I would get strep between Christmas and New Years, for about 7 years

straight -- until I started working on building my immune system, eating

better, getting adequate sleep, eliminating toxins in my home, etc. Last

time I had strep was nearly 20 years ago, and my kids have never had strep,

in spite of being exposed repeatedly by friends, classmates, etc.

Also, bear in mind that stress has a very negative effect on your immune

system -- and the move may be more stressful to your nieces (as well as

everyone else) than they realize.

Health & blessings,

Safe, Powerful, *GREEN* and Smart!

Get laboratory tests done for type of strep.If it is viral,no medicine

is needed.Just rest,plenty of fluids,and vit C.Be careful,strep is

misdiagnosed way too often and treated with antibitocs

unnecessarily.However,it is very important to know what type it

is,because if bacterial and not treated may cause damage to vital

organs such as heart.Only laboratory test can determine the type of

strep it is.Don't accept the routine stick strep test at doctors

office,as it is innacurate,and often times misleading.Good luck.
