Agree - prevention is better than cure. Dark green leafy veg very good. For people in the UK, getting enough Vit D is vital, as well as Vit C.

It's actually you that's proffering uninformed and unqualified medical advice.

It's gone from my head but still in my nose and chest.

A week of rest is as good as anything. And inhale tea tree oil via steam.

I'm a big fan of Tea Tree Oil. Bonus it is 'stralian. Don't drink it though!

Almonds/cashews good too. A lot of people lack zinc.

Nice piece of steak or fav meat on some spinach with cashews, herbs and a chilli and garlic sauce.

Dont need pills.

Pseud, a better case of QED I cannot imagine.

My wastepaper basket has more intelligence.

I fail to see why that would be a big problem?

get well soon terry.

why were you on antibiotics, did the doctors check that it was a bacterial rather than a viral infection first?
if your temperature is not raised, then you dont need antibiotics.

dont listen to the idiot quacks on here talking about colloidal silver and vitamins and magic pills, a normal balanced diet should provide you with all the nutrients you require.

menthol inhalations, such as "friars balsam" (look it up) will help with loosening the phlegm as will postural drainage and chest percussion (look it up)

a cough and chest infection in someone of your age is never going to clear up quickly, it can take a couple of months or more.

a persistent cough, i.e. more than 6 weeks should be investigated with a chest x-ray.

get yourself away from bangkok, the air quality and levels of irritating diesel particulates will do you no good at all.

and avoid alcohol until you have fully recovered.

1 tsp of baking soda in water in the morning or take it the other way and a slug of organic apple cider vinegar - changing the pH of your body will kill most nasties.

... and if you smoke... don't.

Wear a mask when loitering about outside in smog filled Bangkok.

Job done.

^agree with that.

I have had the flu since last Thursday... first time I've been sick in more than 5 years. I am a self-confessed health nut (some may say just a nut)...

ACV (apple cider vinegar) is one of the best (and cheapest) things you can take for your general health. Buy "Mothers" American brand with all the funky cloudy bits in the bottom of the bottle...

Garlic!!! anti-viral/anti-bacterial... probably the best and strongest super-food on the planet to support general health (and ward of colds etc)...
Funnily enough, I ran out of garlic just before I got my flu...
Eat it raw, 2-3 cloves, dice it up as finely as possible, let it rest for 10 mins this will let oxygen activate the allicin compound in the garlic..

Baking soda (Yes!) similar to ACV in that it will help alkalize your body (disease flourishes in an acidic environment).

Mega-dose vitiman C 5-10,000 mg per day (soluble is best absorbed by your body)

*In addition, rest, rest and more rest.... don't drink mate! you'll regret it. Alcohol depletes your body of Vit C/E and B vitamins... it's Friday night.. I'm dying for a beer... just don't... wait till you have fully recovered first...

There is nothing more valuable than your health.. look after it.

God, I sound like my Nana.. sorry! lol

Oh dear Kiwi, you seem ignorant of the fact that all that that regime might produce is a concoction of some interesting piss.

A balanced diet free of known contaminants is the only truly efficacious remedy for a healthy life. Medical intervention deals with illness as best it can but ultimately we are all slaves to the DNA we inherit.

There are those with measurable deficiencies within their metabolism that lend themselves to the addition of mineral and vitamin supplements but these are well defined within medical science.

The silver thing Pseudo is wittering on about is really just "eye of newt " gibberish and as worthless as his doctrinal mania for iconoclasm for its own sake.

Most people are lacking in minerals cause a lot of diets are shite.

Paul Carson. Thought he had made Colloidal Silver himself. He did not. He put what ever the hell he made on his face, and it did this to him. Completely unrelated to colloidal silver except when used by idiots like you to try and prove a point.

Acv tastes bloody awful. Why not just eat apples?

Geez buddy do some research.

Or look at all the fat slobs in society. Ffs not hard to work out.

Here you go pseudo...

Here ya go terry.

Scientists know that urine is just a byproduct of the filtering of blood. It’s not just excess water. When blood cells, filled with oxygen and nutrients go through the liver, the poisons and toxins get pulled out and are eliminated with a bowel movement. This filtered and cleaned blood go to the kidneys where excess nutrients get taken out of the body. Plasma ultra filtrate (Urea) contains perfect ratios of nutrients, urea, enzymes, hormones, vitamins, antibodies and minerals.

It’s also antiviral, anti-fungal and antibacterial. The reason it is this way is because it’s a byproduct of the body trying to balance sodium chloride with water. Since urea can kill bacteria and fungus and drastically lower inflammation you’ll find it in many creams and lotions for use on the skin and hair.

Why You Should Start Drinking Your Own Pee - The Benefits Of Urine Therapy

I don't know what all the fuss is about.
On many occasions I've found myself with impending flu virus symptoms I just reach for a bottle of CM rum.
Two weeks later Im good as gold.
It doesn't seem to work on bacterial infections unless applied liberally in on or under the affected organs.
Sucking rum into the lungs is not a good Idea but a squirt down the snakes eye pre coital keeps nasties at bay.

Funny that - because although in your smugness, you forget that you were raised in a country where big pharma advertise prescritopion drugs directly at people rather than doctors, and thus your whole experience of life with regards to medicines comes from their point of view. Snake oil - the vast majority of big pharma drugs and pills are snake oil.

irony lost on you, mr know it all.

the vast majority of drugs and pills are snake oil ??????


you really have no idea what you are talking about.
