    Default When you are sick......

    Is it better to take a bunch of things or just take one thing and be patient??

    I am taking:

    colloidal silver 1tsp 4-5 times a day
    vitamin c (emergen-c) 2-3 packets a day
    goldenseal tincture- 30 drops twice a day
    herbal teas (gypsy coldcare by traditional medicinals, echinacea immune support -yogi tea) idk.... like 10 cups a day
    zinc lozenges
    drinking lots of water and resting

    and I just got a neti pot and am going to add that too. I just feel like with all that I'm taking, I should be feeling better by now...I felt it coming on on sunday... it hit me super hard yesterday, and now i'm on day 2 of feeling shitty. I'm supposed to be driving 10 hours to go to a festival w/ my roommate friday-sunday... and I don't want to let her down because if I don't go she can't go...but I'm not going if I feel sick. not happening.

    I have a sore throat, sinus pressure/headache, slight fever w/ chills/hot flashes, achiness ALL over and dizziness. I think it's either a sinus infection or the flu because of the achiness/fever/dizziness.

    Am I taking too much?? Should I just not take anything and just rest?? wHat should I do???

    I want to get acupuncture, I could possibly go tomorrow (i found a really cheap clinic), but i dont know if going while sick is smart... i could get someone else sick. Should I go?

    It's probably primarily mental. You keep mentioning being sleep deprived and depressed. Both of those things kill your immune system more than just a bug.

    I think no matter what you take, your body just needs time to get better. I usually take vitamins and whatever I can to relieve my symptoms.

    Drink tea with honey and cuddle up with a good book too.

    Sleep, plenty of water, and good nutrition are better for a virus than anything else you can do.

    I think the way youre taking the vitamin C and colloidal silver is not the best way.
    Its almost 17 years now since Ive been sick for more than a few hours and this is because Ive used vitamin C megadoses or colloidal silver predominantly. I have posted about this so many times on here I cant really be arsed going into detail but maybe I will later if you want to know.
    Ive also found that since including 50% or more raw food in my diet I dont need to bother with either so much.

    Then maybe try taking larger doses of vitamin C. I would do 5 grams an hour until I was better which was usually within about 2 hours. (look out for the diahreeh though!) What type of C are you taking, Ive no idea what emergen-c is? Make sure theres no calcium in it as it doesnt work if there is.
    With the colloidal silver i usually drop some up my nose, in my ears and gargle some before swallowing.
    However if youre already sick then its much harder to get better than if youre only just getting sick.
    Are you taking other suppliments, A, B, D and zinc etc?
