I know many of you disagree but,
I went to the family doctor. Got a cortisone shot and he gave me antibiotics, Country doctor. Does not believe in flu shot or vaccines. Would not take one himself or his family. Also prescribed C and D. If you have a personal friend or country doctor, Please go. By all means do not take the vaccines. Just find one that you trust.
By the way, I did not take the antibiotics. Looks like I and family escaped. Hope you all feel better.

Me too
I can't hardly sleep at night and I feel like crap all day. I'm taking chicken noodle soup, vitamins, and cranberry-pomegranate juice. And I've been going outside as much as possible to get the sun. It ain't working. I feel horrible.

bad_karma, The wife and I
were laid up for almost 14 days. Went to bed one night and woke up the next morning with throat being sore. Immediately went to our family physician. He tested for flu and swine flu(hurt like hell when he stuck that swab so far in there, I thought he was trying to put my eye out,LOL). Ends up neither of us had the flu nor the swine flu. Temp did get up to 102. The cough was so bad my back went out and made the two weeks that much worse. As bad as this was I cannot imagine the swine flu being any worse but I do know I don't want it.
I hope you recover quickly and get back to your normal self. Plenty of Vit. C and D. Lots of fluids(pure water). I wish you the best my friend. Get well soon.

bad_karma...
an obscene amount of tequila (it survives the stomach acid and can kill crap in your intestines)
smoke a tobacco pipe (can't remember why... ask devon saunders.)
cayenne. (1/4 tsp of cayenne in a small glass of cool water plus 1 tsp of lime and lemon juice each.)
lots of garlic.
plus what everyone else said. :)
note about the tobacco ... it was something to do with this particular flu. something about the age group it has killed in the past.... something about preventing fluid in the lungs??? i don't know. devon's hopi. he knows things like that. :)
Be careful with the pepper
I made myself some cayenne and honey tea for a head cold once, It worked on the head cold really well. But, about an hour after I drank it I began to expel stuff out of my rear end that I hadn't even eaten yet. :)
I inadvertently made the worlds best colon cleanser. But, along with all that my head cold was gone the next day.

That's what you get, Karma
That's what you get for not taking the vaccine. Pelosi says you're a Nazi; I agree. :-)
To fight the illness, take large doses of vitamin C, and regular doses of l-lysine and SSKI (saturated solution potassium iodide). To fight the fever, take regular Tylenol, but as one poster here correctly stated, you don't want to completely eliminate fever – just to keep it below dangerous levels.
Vitamin C boosts the immune system, l-lysine keeps the virus from replicating and SSKI kills a great many pathogens (bacterial, viral, molds and parasites).
I have been exposed to 4 people very sick with swine flu for several hours at a time – no problems here. Those to whom I've been exposed have consistently described the usual flu symptoms, along with bad headaches, nausea, unusual tiredness and unusually-high fever.
thanks... A prudent man

For a sore throat, I highly recommend ....
Throal Coat tea from Traditional Medicinals. It is the best thing I have found for a sore throat. My sister, who sings in the choir at her church and runs a city Council on the Arts, also testifies that it is everything the company claims for it.

Elder Berry Tincture
Below can be further researched with research references on Wikipedia.
"Extensive research show that elder stops the production of hormone-like cytokines that direct a class of white blood cells known as neutrophils to cause inflammation, especially in influenza and arthritis. On the other hand, elder increases the production non-inflammatory infection-fighting cytokines as much as 10 fold. Elder berries are known to be effective against eight strains of influenza. This suggests that elder be superior to vaccines in preventing flu, because flu vaccines are only effective against known strains of flu, whereas the virus is continually mutating to new strains. Vaccines have another draw back: over half of people who get them report side effects. Dr. Madeleine Mumcuoglu, of Hadassah-Hebrew University in Israel found that elderberry disarms the enzyme viruses use to penetrate healthy cells in the lining of the nose and throat. Taken before infection, it prevents infection. Taken after infection, it prevents spread of the virus through the respiratory tract. In a clinical trial, 20% of study subjects reported significant improvement within 24 hours, 70% by 48 hours, and 90% claimed complete cure in three days. In contrast, subjects receiving the placebo required 6 days to recover."

"Reboot" and detox the body with a good fast .

> Yes, fasting sounds like it should be free! The catch is that we need
someone to lookout for us and a comfortable place to rest.
> Fasting is all about resting. Anything we do to decrease the load on our body for a period of time allows the body to do its work. Just staying in bed 10 or 12 hours every day for a month will make a difference.
> One can also do short fasts alone - 3 days are common.
I did 3 days in the spring and I will do another 3 day fast in December between the holidays. When my mother was here 2 years ago with a severe situation which was draining my life force because I wasn't able to sleep enough, I imposed a 1 day fast on both of us and just stayed in bed! Dr. Andrew Weil is right (even though he hasn't seen the whole light yet!):
One day of just staying in bed and eating lightly every week would be good for all of us.
> The key is to lie in bed - read if you have to or listen to music or audio tapes/CDs. Being idle the first 3 days of a fast is a challenge. Doing physical exercise or laboring mentally during a fast destroys tissue.
> For a 3 day fast - to give yourself the most value for these 3 days:
Start with just fruit for at least 3 days week - melon or papaya, whichever is in season, would be the best choice - don't worry about the mono nature (unless you can't handle 3 days of one of these - all in the head and still important!), this fruit will clean out the colon and it does have nutrient - worry about balanced nutrient after the fast.
> Then do 3 days of water - sip it all day long and when you awaken at night - the hazard the first days is the chance of falling because you are
dehydrated and light-headed - be very careful when you sit or stand up.
> I end my food with the evening meal the day before and just use water from the beginning on the 1st day.
>On the 4th day - start with melon or papaya again - go easy at the morning meal and do a similar midday meal - change the fruit in the evening.
>the 5th day - eat fruit (whatever appeals) in the morning and at midday - in the evening, some fruit followed by Romaine lettuce.
>On the 6th day - eat normally except skip any nuts, seeds or other major source of fat. Then proceed with a wonderful natural low-fat vegan diet!
Here are a couple of other things I found in a file I wrote 2 years ago.
> SUNSHINE. Exposing as much of the body as possible to the sun is very beneficial during fasting. If you aren’t spending time in the sun regularly already, take it easy. Start with 10 minute sessions and build up slowly. Do this in the morning before 10:30 am and in the afternoon after 4:30 pm, if possible.
> EXERCISE. Zilch – zero – during a fast.
> SENSATIONS Headache – Many of us are addicted to a toxic food digestion byproduct and don’t even know it. Others know they are addicted to caffeine or something else. In either case, a withdrawal headache may be experienced. Bear with it. Use cold cloths on your forehead and stay in bed. It will go away. Each day it should be less
severe.
>Nausea – Many people feel a bit nauseous at the first of a fast. This
evidently occurs because we have a little pouchy area in the bottom of the
stomach that doesn’t empty efficiently. If the sensation is extremely
strong, try bringing the acid up by sipping hot water until the acid comes
up. Usually, the sensation is bearable and the acid will go down through
the intestines eventually.
> Light-headedness – Drink more water.
> Itchy skin – Acid seems to come out through the skin if it exceeds the eliminative capacity of the colon. Just bear with it. It is a good sign.
You can do the 3-day and this is as good start!

Olive Leaf extract helps us..
Pretty sure that my 4yo son had this flu - fatigue,103.5 fever, etc. It came on as a fever, nausea and fatigue on the same day he started with nasal/chest congestion and cough.
While the fever/fatigue part only lasted 1 1/2 days, the cough has lingered for a couple of weeks. We let the fever go until he hits 102, and then we treat it with 3 drops of Olive Leaf extract - it lowered his fever within a few minutes and the last 2 times he has been sick he has recovers very quickly using the Olive Leaf. Since my wife and I take the Olive Leaf as well (around 10 drops/day) whenever we are exposed we didn't catch it from him, despite him sleeping with us coughing on us the whole night!
The New Silver Solution Rocks....
I have used it many times on my 6 kids and they all didn't remain sick long or never got sick from the other kids ever...
Sounds like the swine flu but....
if you want to know for sure, go see your physician. There is a blood test that can be done with same day results to verify. I had it about 3 weeks ago. Same symptoms as you described, but I was nauseated as well, and did vomit. It is very similar to regular flu, the only thing is it is too early for the regular seasonal flu. Do yourself a favor and go to the doctor, and find out. This way you will have it on record that you have already been exposed, and will not require a vaccine.
If it is any consolation
you are still typing well!! :)
