Frequent viral infections
Hi,
I just joined this group.
I have been having a terrible time this winter with
frequent viruses, colds, intestinal
"bugs," etc. I am Type II diabetic and have read that
diabetes can weaken immunity
and make a person prone to viruses.
Two questions: 1. Have any of you reading this ever
experienced the problem
of having frequent viruses, colds, etc? 2. Has
anyone FROM EXPERIENCE found
a natural remedy that REALLY helps?
I have tried a lot of natural supplements that are
supposed to boost immunity
and none have made any difference thus far.
Thanks.

Hello James,
I use natural ways to combat various
problems…fortunately for me that last time I had the
flu was when I took a flu shot!…
Do some research, Any type of viral infection I use
Oil of Oregano, a few drops in water and drink it down
and away goes the problem usually within days, for
cold sores I just put some of the Oil on it and
usually within four days it clear up, it use to take a
month to clear up….Sore throsats I use fresh lemons,
suck on them as often as I can…Do a little research
on various ways to gain control of one’s health…

Hello Dick,
A few months ago I broke out with a cold sore on my
lip, I applied the oil of oregano and within 12 hours
a scab formed, this use to take weeks. Four days later
it was cleared up. It would sometimes take over a
month to clear these pains in butt things. My wife
really came down with the bug here when is was running
around down here, she used the Oil , a few drops in
wsater , twice a day and two days later was out
dancing, I dont know if anything is better but for the
two of us it is a godsend.

Mary,
My knowledge of this is limited, I have used the
olive leaf extract just as a supplement but the
problem is that with all things you can create a
"Wooden Leg" and the next thing you know, you have
fifty or so bottles staring you in the face. Their was
a gentlemen on this list months ago who was
experimenting with olive leaf extract, if he is still
here I hope he can shed some light…I do know that
essential oils are far more potent that extracts or
tincture. Their are some oils that can be used only
externally. Usually the oils give a immediate responce
to the body’s needs-.
