SICK!!!! Ugh!

[dalebert]

I used to go there a lot when one was walking distance from work. A couple of my Asian co-workers and I would often take a Jamba break a couple hours after lunch. Their low sugar drinks are actually pretty good. Most of their drinks are LOADED down with sugar. Watch out. They have a nutrition book on hand. Browse it. If there was one single thing I could warn people about consuming too much of, I would tell them sugar. Obesity, diabetes, and growing evidence that sugar is the big culprit for heart disease and stroke more so than cholesterol and bad fats.

Get better soon Caleb. I will pray f... I mean my heathen thoughts are with you.

I lived in cali for 5 years (my parents still do)...I mis JAMBA JUICE!  There was one in NYC when we lived in Westchester.  Man, now I am thinking of all the good food we are missing from cali & NYC...

get over a sink, grab a tablespoon of saltwater and plug one nostril and raise the tablespoon to the toher nostril and snort up the water off of the spoon.

A spoon?!  That is roughing it.  Neti pots don't require snorting:

I have treid the neti pots and prefer the spoon snorts. People could try both ways. I find many people just plain refuse to do it and thats a shame. The same goes for doing enemas.

stop eating and only consume natural juices (no sugar) and broths. If you can get organic apple cider vinegar with the "mother" in it, drink this as well. (the "mother" is apple sediments in the bottle) Mrs Braggs makes a good brand but there are others.

Do a SALINE RINSE

warm I cup of water and dissolve 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt in it.( do not use regular tablesalt)

pour it in a bowl.

get over a sink, grab a tablespoon of saltwater and plug one nostril and raise the tablespoon to the toher nostril and snort up the water off of the spoon.

refill the spoon and do it again in the same nostril. It will most likely go up your nose and run into the sink. thats ok.

keep snorting saltwater until it makes its way to the back of throat and dumps nto your mouth. spit it out. (you might gag but just cowboy up and quit whining). it will probally be yellow or green mucous.

You can wipe your nose and blow your nose(very lightly) in between flushes. If you blow to hard you will force mucous higher into the sinus cavities. 

continue snorting the same nostril until just the saltwater comes through. That sinus passage way is now open. Yay!

Do the other side the same way.

You can do this every hour if needed and it is best to it when symptoms first show, other wise it may get up into the frontal sinus above your eyebrows.

Use juice,broths, vinegar and the saline rinse and most of all, REST.

These are great suggestions the only problem I find is when I'm really feeling crappy is that I don't feel like doing all of the things you wrote.  I know it's sounds lazy but you have to get a bowl, ingredients, etc.  My sister does the stuff that you wrote to do and it does help I just plaster my butt to the couch and watch movies.

However there are 2 simple things I do that I think really help.  I drink the apple cider vinegar, (the kind you mentioned), in my water and when my throat is killing me I put 3 drops of oreganol, (sp?), directly down my throat using the dropper that comes with it, it burns at first so have water close by but in 30 seconds my throat is numb for almost the whole day and I feel a little better the next day.  You have to get the right kind of oreganol that contains P73 in it that's the good stuff.

I do the saline rinse because it really helps give relief and shortens the lifespan of the sickness.

I sometimes get a sinus infection so bad that my entire head feels like it is going to explode and I can not even lay down in bed, my eyes feel like they are gonna pop and it is very nasty. I do the rinse and get immediate relief. Sometimes it may last only an hour but I just repeat the rinse again.

The time prep to do it takes about 2 minutes. Warm some water, add salt, and snort away.

I have a "ladyfriend" who refuses to do them and instead chooses to be in agony. I just don't get it.

Sinus infections are nasty and painful, I don't get many of those so I'm glad, when I do I use the saline drops.  This oreganol stuff is so good though for painful tonsils and throats.

I remember one year I ate a couple of cloves of garlic a day and drank apple cider vinegar and felt so good!  I lost weight without even trying and I didn't catch anyone's illness from a cold to a stomach virus.  I really need to start doing that again.

Kola I have a question for you about a supposed cancer cure besides apricot kernels.  They are called Natural Cellular Liquid Zeolite Advanced Defense and Fresh Eight Herb Essiac Mix (aka Medicine Man Tea) .  I read a lot about them but I was wondering if you had any opinions of both of them yourself?

ZICAM

Good to hear Caleb!

Rainey quote: Kola I have a question for you about a supposed cancer cure besides apricot kernels.  They are called Natural Cellular Liquid Zeolite Advanced Defense and Fresh Eight Herb Essiac Mix (aka Medicine Man Tea) .  I read a lot about them but I was wondering if you had any opinions of both of them yourself?

I never heard of NCLZAD.

I have heard of and used Essiac Tea which IMO did not benefit anyone including myself. The Ojibwe NA Indian Tribe in Canada introduced an herbal mixture to Rene Cassie (a nurse). She used it and got tremendous results in curing breast cancers and later other cancers. She kinda reversed her name and called it Essiac Tea. Of course the medical goons and mobsters stepped in and shut down her clinic where she treated (successfuly) many cancer patients. The goons wanted to buy her "secret recipe" but she said no f-ing way.      Anyway they harassed her until she was very old as she wuld re open a new clinic, help people and then only to be shut down again and again. As she grew old, she gave the recipe to her trusted partner just before she dies.  EssiacTea was never the same. Many folks believe the new owner sold out to the goons and now distributes some half-assed bastardized useless mixture. Other snakeoil salesmen jumped on the bandwagon and began making their own versions of Essiac tea but none of them are the Ojibwe blend. It was called Essiac Tea, not Fresh Eight or Medicnne man tea etcetc. grrr.

IMO unless a person can get the true version from the Ojibwe's, the stuff NOW that is called Essiac tea is a waste of money and it is just another example of a REAL cancer treatment that was wiped out by the medical-goons.   

btw, there are many versions of her story and what happened and what was in the herb mix.

I'm pretty sure Caleb just has a cold 

[Caleb]

Wow! yeah, i don't think i'm dying or anything, scott, but now you've got me worried. I'm checking for tumors. 

Nope. No tumors. just a head cold, and a big baby who doesn't like head colds. 

[mackler]
