I have recently been fighting what seems to be the flu. Some of my coworkers have come down with it also. Is the flu or something like it going around in your area? ---

I thought it was allergies at first. I kept waking up at one night because I couldn’t breath. I was all stopped up in my nose and the back of my throat. I took claritin the next morning and nothing happened. Then a sudafed nothing happened. SO the only thing that changed it was a cold/flu med. Flu is funny because everytime I get it it is different. I guess it is flu because I get very weak and a little fevery at work, but I feel okay when I am at home in the bed. ---

Get your hands on some very strong Oregano Oil. I bought some off [bio-alternatives.net](http://bio-alternatives.net). If you take it around the clock, you will get better in the matter of a couple of days. When I got severely sick a couple of months ago, I was getting fluid in my lungs and was on the verge of pneumonia, and this oregano stuff totally saved me. Also, flood your body with some Emergen-C vitamin pack, too. It tastes absolutely disgusting, but it’s so worth it. Apparently, this remedy is stronger than echinacea, garlic, zinc, all put together, and is on par with antibiotics to fight bacteria as well. Try it, let me know what you think! ---

Oh, and to mask the taste, wash it down with some orange juice.. They recommend taking it straight, but unless you’re me, good luck with that! ---

Ironic, my supervisor said I should go to the doctor because I might have pneumonia. Its probably something like that. I feel better but its still there. ---

If you want to stay healthy all the time, including serious debilitating diseases like stroke, heart attack among others try reading up about Linus Pauling and his ascorbic acid (vitamin C) theory. He won the Nobel Prize twice. There are many websites dedicated to his theorem and if you follow his plan you will not get sick. ---

> [@Holmes](#): > > How much/how often for the Oregano Oil? You mean the price? I got a special 3 2-ounce bottles plus get one free, and it comes to $12 a bottle (I split the order with someone else) They recommend 4 drops once or twice a day, but that’s for pussies, espessially when you’re sick. I would take 4-5 or more drops every hour while awake. It can’t hurt you. You can also try the oil from North American Herb and Spice P-73 Oreganol. You can buy it at a health food store, and it’s wicked expensive, much more than that stuff from the website. I also mix this crazy potion for the kids involving 4-5 drops of the Oregano oil, one full dropper of bee propolis in an alcohol base and one full dropper of echinacea extract, mixed in orange juice. They take this as soon as they feel something coming on, and as nasty and gross as it is, it makes the cold disappear before it starts.. They actually couldn’t believe it the first time. ---

Lucky us… chronic influenza a result of human overpopulation… flu virus is formed in regions where humans, edible birds, and pigs closely coexist. The old (last year’s crop) flu virii and bird flu virii mix in the pig, however the pig isn’t flu symptomatic.. so Mr. Pig acts as the reactor vessel to generate new (ones which we have limited immune resistance to) generations of recombined flu strains… this has an interesting philosophical ramification, because we entered the Iraq war partly on the basis that Saddam Hussein was working on “biological weapons”… right ?.. anyone remember that claim ? Welll… as nature would have it, the most sophisticated producer of the most globally effective biological weapon, far and away, is a nice fat happy pig eating garbage laced with bird poo. Juicy pork chop for some hungry guy. Two weeks of misery for you. Now, because of massively expanded trade with China, there is a constant stream of carriers of new flus coming and going to all parts of the world, 24/7… some are relatively minor affairs, and some are whopping mofos… flus BTW are a significant contributor to each year’s human mortality statistics, something like the sixth most common cause of death… annnnnnnd… to keep things interesting, with accelerated climate change, chances are good that flus will be more common and worse… it doesn’t have to be the dreaded “avian” H5N1 strain to kill you good and dead under the right circumstances… ---

Thanks, Mama. That potion must taste devine. I’ll probably give it a go, though. Anyone tried Airborne? ---

> [@Holmes](#): > > Anyone tried Airborne? Yea, it’s actually pretty good if you take it as soon as you feel that silly little tickle in your throat.. And never get the nighttime kind, that sheet nasty 😃 And don’t forget Emergen-C 4-5 times a day… ---

I think I am finally coming out the other side. I was going to go to the doctor friday or saturday because I was still feeling pretty ill. I got the great idea to start downing noni juice.(people think its useless but i’ve seen its effects on people). Cold n flu meds haven’t really helped, tea has only done so much, boatload of oranges only so much. I got up this morning and my voice is back and I feel fine. Not all the way back but I finally feel somewhat normal again.(Almost drank the whole bottle a couple sips at a time) ---

OTC cold and flu “meds” only treat symptoms. Near worthless, IMO. I feel so left out as I have a very empty bathroom medicine cabinet…
