+++Hi Tina,

You realize you are getting a sore throat because your body is healing and

detoxifying like it should, right?

You can try to make it feel more comfortable, but you do not want to suppress

reactions your body creates in order to heal itself, nor cause another issue for

yourself.

I do not recommend taking clove oil or oil of oregano internally for many good

reasons. They are powerful oils containing substances that are supposed to

help, however they can work against body reactions and cause other issues.

All tea is diuretic, which makes your body lose water along with important

minerals. However, it can be soothing to your throat to drink tea but drink no

more than 2 cups per day for a maximum of 5 days.

Here's the recipe for Clove Tea:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/recipes/recipe174.php

Instead take megadoses of vitamin C, starting with 4,000 mg one time only the

first day you start the treatment, in addition to your usual 4,000 mg of vitamin

C taken daily.

After taking 4,000 mg one time, take 1,000 mg every hour, or 2,000 mg every 2

hours, while you are awake, to bowel tolerance, which when you get loose stools.

If you can, have vitamin C with foods since it can be hard on the stomach. The

vitamin C tablets are easier on the stomach than ascorbic acid crystals mixed

into water. Do not use vitamin C powder that also contains calcium or any other

ingredients.

When you will get loose stools take 250-500 mg less. When you are better go

back to your usual 4,000 mg per day (split between 3 meals a day).

My cold and flu article also has some suggestions, but do not do too many

treatments at the same time, since that can overwhelm your body so it is not as

able to heal itself:

I hope that helps.

Thanks Bee, I was kind of wondering if my getting a sore throat and bad cold

(like green/yellow mucous developed in chest) was part of detoxing since it

started after just one week.

Amazingly, it is clearing up so fast!

At first when I got ill 2.5 yrs ago, I was not 'able' to get sick, weirdest

thing. Even though white blood cells were low and I was malnourished. Then I

finally got a bad cold spread to my chest 4 months ago, and it lasted at least

3-4 weeks of fever, congested lungs, coughing out pus like phlegm. Then

residual asthma for about 3 weeks.

But this time, I got the sore throat, spread and already coming out and fever

passed and phlegm even going back to paler yellow/white instead of greenish

yellow in a matter of only 3 days!

Bee I did get my cal citrate, magn citrate and vit c crystals all in powder

form. I tried them and have quite a lot of burning in my throat, they seem to

be very caustic to my senstivie tissues.

Will this improve in time?

For now, I'm trying to take much less and sprinkle on my food instead of my hot

water.

Putting in hot water is okay? The only way I can seem to drink water.

I've already got a problem with daily loose stools, for a very long time, so not

sure why that is, but I wouldn't be able to tell maybe. But just 1000mg burned

me so much in esophagus and gut when I took the vit c crystals in water.

Thanks very much,

Tina

+++Hi Tina. That's great it is clearing so fast! Good for you. Green and

yellow mucous means that toxins are coming out - see this description of the

colors:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/sinus2.php

+++Also see Mucus [mucous], Chronic & Excessive:

+++The reason your white blood cells were low is because your body was not

activating them like it should in order to clear out toxins - see The Purpose of

White Blood Cells:

+++Check the vitamin C crystals to make sure there are no other nutrients in it

like calcium, which are often added to make it easier on the teeth and stomach,

however by taking it you'd be getting too much calcium, so that's why I do not

recommend using it.

+++If they were actually caustic to your throat it is because your tissues need

them so they are helping your body create inflammation and healing. If they

were caustic then everyone taking them would get the same symptoms you are.

+++The water shouldn't be too hot because can burn your tissues, particularly

when your tissues are sensitive. Ensure you are taking all supplements with

foods.

+++You should switch to calcium, magnesium and vitamin C tablets or capsules

instead. Again, if vitamin C crystals burned tissues everyone taking them would

get burning tissues, but they don't.
