What is the best way to clear up respiratory illness whether it is any stage pf pneumonia, bronchitis, toxic inhalation, allergies, even anaphalaxis (naturally/herbally)? A brief history & my experience, I had stage II pneumonia bacterial/viral they never could diagnose it, I went to an urgent care after the pain I fely in my lower back, they gave me new generation drugs, cipro, & 2 others because within 3 days of treatment with each type, I had allergic reactions, mild anaphalaxis, & the only thing that would clear me up was childrens liquid Benedril, I would sneeze profusley, feel my chest open up, drink a ton of distilled water, & Bio-K (look it up) it was the ONLY pro-biotic, no organic plain yogurt, no super biotics would clear up the ferocious yeast infection I had that multiplied, only Bio-K has 50 BILLION, not the 9 milliom live acidophilus, & cleared that up, but I had to stop all forms of drugs, I could not get them to give me the old time cillins (old generation drugs).

Someone recommended it to me to help with digestive upset after doing an olive oil and lemon juice "cleanse" for gallstones.

I'm just wondering, what is a "colonic"?

Thanks :-)

i have a very deep second degree burn, my flesh is pink but no longer gushing blood. My doctor prescribed silver sulfiazine its been and told me to wash and rinse it everyday to pervent infection. But there is not even minimal progress. I read from a couple of sites that honey can help prevent bacteria and help heal wounds. Should i use the honey instead without risk of infection? Should i listen to my doctor? I know hes probably right but I am big on holistic cures, plus if you knew that a 4 dollar jar of honey would cure you. You wouldnt go out and buy that 30 dollar jar of meds. Than the drug companies wouldnt make any money.

Do you know that "feeling" that you're on the verge of a bladder infection (full feeling in abdomen, low-grade fever)? Could you suggest a natural remedy in order to possibly avoid an antibiotic?

No insurance.
I keep it clean and douse with peroxide. It itches like hell. I just want it to heal over so I can stop having to cover it.
I know my grandparents had natural cures for everything and when I used to get hurt, they had salves and potions that worked.
Give me natural solution tthat works.

My neck and upper back has been painful for many years. Massage, chiropractors, muscle relaxants from the doctor, etc. help a little, but the basic problem is still there. It feels like there is just a lot of junk on either side of my spine around my neck, and it pops and cracks when I move my neck from side to side. It's a moderate, constant kind of pain, but it makes it hard to function and to sleep. Any suggestions?

No Ovaries, No Thyroid. My Mom Needs Your Help.?
My mother had thryoid cancer almost 16 years ago and the doctors removed it. She has been on synthetic thyroid medication ever since. Four years ago my mother had her uterus and ovaries removed. This has completely put her hormone system into major craziness. She has gained a large ammount of weight despite diet and taking care of her body. I need someone who knows about hormonal weight gain, due to no thryoid and no ovaries. This has been difficult, and she just wants to get her weight down. Any ideas? Anybody who has had both removed??

Hi. I have recently done an olive oil and lemon juice cleanse for my gallstones. It was successful, but I am now suffering pain in the same region... not related to eating food. It is pretty constant. My husband, a crystal healer, divined that the sphincter between stomach and duodenum has been "burned" by the lemon juice, and there is/was a "bubble" in my intestines, caused by gas being caught in the olive oil.

I did the cleanse last Saturday night, but my stomach seems very gassy and upset, and I woke up with heartburn and stomach ache (like gallstone pain, from front to back, but nowhere near as severe.... and constant, instead of coming in waves).

I also feel like I need to "go" but nothing is coming (even though I ate popcorn last night). I have been almost fasting for the last 3 weeks (just juice, water vege soup, and apples) due to the gallstones.

Are there any herbs which can help my stomach and digestive system to heal and settle into normal functioning?

My father had an operation to remove a cancerous growth 7 months ago. After not healing and then getting worse, they have finally said he has developed the super bug. There is so much info on the net but I was wondering if anyone had some natural rededies that could help fight this bug as his wound is still bad. The hospital are dealing with it but we are not happy with the progression of this. He has new anti biotics but any simple natural things that could help would be greatly appreciated, diet anything like that.
Many thanks

I know people use it to determine if they have food allergies, but what exactly is involved?

Are there other ways to determine food intolerances besides an elimination diet? (I'm pregnant and it might not be safe right now.)
