There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I am sick, sick, sick!

- Start date
The swinging from hot to cold is gone...or at least no swings for the last several hours. Been drinking lots of fluids (water, OJ and super hot tea spiked with large amounts of raw clover honey). The chest congestion is beginning to break up a bit...my cough is getting wetter and I am bringing up more musus....clear, no signs of infection. My energy level is up...though I still am not back up to full charge. Going to swallow down a few spoons of honey, wash it down with a small glass of OJ and got back to bed. I have no idea how many hours I have slept the last couple days. Too many!

Antibiotics are great tools, but they will not do one bit of good against a virus. They can clean out your colon and give you diarrhea, but that's not really a help now is it? Obio, sounds like you are on the mend and the virus is running its course. Continue to stay warm and drink plenty of water.
I tell ya, a number of years ago now I got that flu thingie. Never felt worse in my life. Same symptoms. After I got over it I made meself a vow; Never, NEVER EVER go without getting a flu shot each year. Have not had it since. And I don't miss; at my age there's nothing funny about the flu.
Getting better....more energy, headache is almost gone, body aches are almost gone. No coughing as much, but when I do it tends to bring up nice hunks of nasty lung goo....good clear stuff still, no signs of infection.
I am one of those people who avoid doctors and pills as much as possible...especially antibiotics. The overuse of antibiotics has lead to the development of much more dangerous bacteria that are far harder to fight due to them being resistant to antibiotics. Nature gave us a superbly efficient immune system, and I like to let it do its work. If I NEED antibiotics for a bacterial infection that my body can't handle on its own, then I will see a doc and get some...but I always give my body a chance to handle the fight on its own first. I do give it some help via increased intake of vitamins and minerals and raw clover honey (the absolute best curative substance on the face of the earth....bacteria, virus, mold, mildew, yeast, fungus...none of them will grow on or in honey).
I never seek out antibiotics for anything caused by a virus....antibiotics do not work on viruses. Viruses are neat....they are totally unlike any life form on the face of the earth. They do not eat, they do not breath, they do not reproduce. They are not really alive in the classic biological sense. They are super efficient little "machines" that invade the host cell, rip apart the DNA inside and use the DNA pieces to make full function copies of itself. Sort of like a robot walking into a junk yard and using scrap metal to make other robots like itself. And that is where viruses get tricky...they mutate! Maybe the virus runs short on one particular DNA sequence, so it uses one that is very similar....and the result is an entirely new strain of virus, an entirely new strain of disease. That is why there are so many strains of HIV...each requiring a different test to detect. The H1N1 virus...the DNA sequencing found in it is part human, part pig, part bird. No idea what the original virus strain was, but over the years, it has passed..thanks to mutations...from one animal to another to us...and possibly back to either a pig or a bird for additional mutations.
