prodiver913 0 #3 December 30, 2008 Your immune system is a natural disease fighting machine. You don't need any man made medication or antibiotics and the more you take the less affective your immune system becomes in the long run. Drink lots and lot and lots of water, fresh juices, and sleep a lot. You'll be better in no time. Exercise regularly, eat a more natural and full diet, and don't get the flu shot any more. I haven't had it in 5 years and I am never sick. Oh yeah, pot helps a lot too. Feel better!!! I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LisaH 0 #4 December 30, 2008 Silly girl. That stuff doesn't make it go away or cure you. It just helps the symptoms. Sweat it out and I hope you feel better soon! After 7 days though, you might consider going to the dr for some antibiotics. Be yourself! MooOOooOoo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfriverjoe 1,523 #6 December 30, 2008 Like LisaH said, Dayquill only releves symptoms. What do you have? Colds and Flu are viruses, antibiotics only work on bacteria and will do more harm than good if you have a viral disease. The scientific studies haven't been conclusive, but I have had success dealing with colds using zinc and echinacea. If I start taking it at the first sign of symptoms, the cold only lasts 3-5 days. And the symptoms don't get too severe. Or my body is getting better at beating colds as I get older.

Sleep is a funny little memory of the past. I have been drinking lots of water and slowly things are clearing up. Oh, and I've never gotten a flu shot... those are silly things for hypochondriacs!!!!\\> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The sore throat was horrible this morning, but as of right now at 8 pm I feel pretty good. My ears have been almost completely plugged up the entire 10 days with a loud obnoxious ringing...\\> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
