Question

to get rid of a viral infection in the throat..antibiotics are no good

Answer 1

Hi Captain S

Here are some ideas to heal the issue.

Causes
Viruses are naturally occurring microorganisms. They are most commonly spread through respiratory routes and bodily fluids, such as blood and semen. Once they gain a foothold in the body, viruses seek to replicate themselves and then spread to others. Sneezing, touching, and eating infected foods are some of the more common ways in which viruses travel from one person to another.

Note: Viral infections do not respond to antibiotics.

Natural Cures

Diet: Eat an organic, whole foods diet that emphasizes plenty of fresh, raw and lightly steamed vegetables, as well as garlic and onions. Also drink plenty of pure, filtered water. Avoid all processed and refined foods, sugar, unhealthy fats, alcohol, soda, commercial fruit juices, milk, and dairy products.

Herbs: Useful herbs for treating viral infections include echinacea, goldenseal, astragalus cayenne, and ginger root.

Homeopathy: Useful homeopathic remedies include Calendula, Chamomilla, Belladonna, Merc sol., and Sulfur.

Hydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment.
*Purified water is essential for any hydrotherapy treatment. Remedies for Treating Chlorinated Bath Water offers clear instructions and recommendations.

Juice Therapy: Carrot, celery, beet, and garlic is an excellent tonic for dealing with viral infections.

Nutritional Supplementation: The most important nutrient for viral infections is vitamin C taken in therapeutic doses (500-5,000 mg). Other recommended nutrients include vitamin A, beta carotene, vitamin B complex, panothenic acid, garlic capsules, zinc, proteolytic enzymes taken between meals, acidophilus, raw thymus glandular, lysine, cysteine, olive leaf extract, and quercetin.

Best of health to you

Answer 2

antibiotics aren't for viruses. The only way really to get rid of a virus is to inspire your immune system to work harder. There are a number of vitamins and herbals recommended for this purpose. Echinecea, Goldenseal, Vitamin C, etc. help to start the process. However, be careful with goldenseal--it is a systemic stripper and strips the good with the bad, so you can sometimes come out with a yeast infection (In guys, that shows up as a raging case of jock itch). However, drinking lots of juices with vitamin C--citruses are strongest along with cranberry--is a great way to start. Keep those fluids flowing! You'll be better in no time. Good luck!
