Got my period and a cold today

[Guest guest]

wonderful combination eh? I'm dosing up on vitamin c and juicing

carrots and apples. I'm very reluctant to double dose HC as people

seem to do...have people done this and had it work with no side

effects going back down? Also, do people ever take more HC to deal

with period/PMS issues?

thanks!

I don't double my HC when I stress dose. I only raise it 5 mg, so about 1/6

of my daily dose.

Well, I woke up with a cold today as well and I have doubled my dose. I

haven't noticed any reactions other than that I feel rotten from the cold.

Rats! I think i was just about to get my temps stabalized too.

Thanks for the tips Ruth, I'll see how I am tomorrow and think about

increasing my HC if the cold is getting worse. IN the past two

years, i've managed to avoid any cold/flu lasting longer than one-two

days just by supplements/juicing etc. plus I always take 3000mg

vitamin C every day so I think that helps avoid viruses from getting

hold of me, hopefully this time will be the same!

bad bronchitis - went up from 20mg to 60mg, then tapered back down

again after a couple of weeks (no problems). I just had a cold

started last week and doubled my dose for three days (my dr. told me

I could double for three days without having to taper down). The idea

is that your adrenals would normally be producing more in response to

the stress, so you are just replacing what they should be doing.

Obviously if you have any problems you should check with your doc.

warmed hydro peroxide in each ear (one at a time) and lay on my side

and let it bubble away for 10-15 minutes. I do it every 4-6 hours

until the symptoms are gone. I started feeling sick last Sunday, did

this regime (hydro per, HC stress dose, Vit C), and the symptoms

never got bad and it was gone by Tuesday.

Well, I think the mega vit c and juicing etc did the trick, didn't

have to stress dose HC and I'm feeling like this cold is leaving.

Yesterday I was so stuffed up, sore throat, the whole bit, so I was

definitely getting hit with something!

Hopefully i'm not speaking too soon
