All About Flu

the best remedy is the old one,homemade chicken noodle soup or campbell's. also orange juice.

When I get a flu shot I get fewer colds and I do not get the flu. The flu shot has helped me!

I totally agree with you. To add to the list, take a cuppa tea with pure honey and a drop of lime juice. Here in Malaysia we get the purest honey from the orchards or even in the wild jungle. Non-polluted ones is most effective. I can even get the supplies for you. Anyone interested? Most importantly fill up your tummy, don't stay hungry as you will need all the strength you could gather to fight the illness. If necessary take glucose syrup with plenty of fluid or again add in some pure honey.

When I had it, I took Theraflu to help me breath,
and occassionally some Afrin nasal spray. Drink lots of fluids.

When I get the flu I take 1,000 miligrams of vitamin C every hour for the first 2 days.Drink lots of fruit juices if I can keep it down.Don't eat any solids that means no milk either.

To prevent the flu I take one cod liver oil capsule every day.I found that this prevents me from getting the flu and if I get it it is never too bad.

P.S. The color green also helps with healing.Quote:

With the flu rest and plenty of fluids is the best therapy. The flu is a virus and the only way to treat a virus is time... As you rest your cells replenish and are also strengthened to fight off the micro-organisms which are invading your body and making you sick. Now to prevent the possibily of phlemn accumulating in the lungs, sleep in a sitting up position preferably in a recliner chair to assist drainage. An old fashioned recipe is 1/2 cup lemon juice, 1/2 cup honey, a large spoonful of olive oil in a cup and mix well and sip often. Australia R.N. living in the USA. Quote:

Vitamin C in huge doses, there is a problem with this....it can cause kidney stones from the accumulation of calci. So, it is preferable to take 250mg 4 times daily... and rest rest rest and drink plenty of fluids to wash your kidney and prevent toxin build-up in the liver.

When I first started feeling like the flu was upon me, I went to my doctor and he gave me a prescription that you can take within the forst 24-48 hours of flu symptoms. It does not fight the flu, but it minimizes the course and severity of it. I was back up and around in 2 days. The aches, pains, and fever were minimal. I felt more like I had a bad cold. The key is timing...as soon as you feel it, go to your doctor.

Please give your best advices on how to treat the flu. Everytime I get the flu I get knocked out completely. I wish I had better ways to handle it. I know it's good to drink a lot of water and try to stay in bed. What more can be done?

.....why dont you just get a flu shot and then you wont have the bother!!

At the very first sign of Flu,(and that is important),take one tbs. SAMBUCOL four times per day. SAMBUCOL is a Black Elderberry Extract.

It works for me, and I haven't had the Flu in years. I don't take Flu shots, because of this.
