Home remedies for strepthroat??
Question: i think i have strep throat...im pretty positive. i dont have time to go t o the Dr. and was hoping i could figure out home remedies. Im garggling with salt water and taking mortin and dayquil cold/flu. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
[and yes, i know..i should just go to the Dr.] lol
Answers: Grapefruit seed extract liquid - 10 drops in 6 oz of water. Gargle and swallow. Chase with a strongly flavored 100% juice, as the GSE is pretty strong tasting.
We use it for all sore throats, whether strep, tonsillitis or just cold related. Works like a charm. Find it at your local health food store, or online at http://www.iherb.com (not affiliated)
We don't bother to go to the doctor. GSE has worked every time to knock it out before it gets that bad. We've even waited a week to use it - first time - and it was amazing. Thought for sure we'd have to go to the doctor and suffer through another round of antibiotics that would make my son break out in hives.
You can also add hot mullein tea to the routine, with honey (which also helps with bacterial infections). Hot lemon tea will also help. Pineapple juice soothes a sore throat. But, the GSE should knock it out almost immediately. We've never had it fail us no matter the infection. We've stopped bothering to even go get the diagnosis, since we won't fill the prescription and the GSE has worked on them all.
DO NO refined sugars as they suppress the immune system. That means no sodas, white table sugar, high fructose corn syrup. The sugar in 100% natural juice is okay as is honey, molasses and turbinado. Moderation is still key though. As an alternative, you can use Stevia, a natural plant derivative which is super sweet. No artificial sweeteners either.
EDIT: Your added description on your other question sounds more like tonsillitis or yeast infection to me. GSE will still work wonders.
it's not a home remedy, but it is ocer the counter. get some Sootherby's zinc lozenges. that will help the pain more than anything i know of, but without antibiotics it will NEVER get better if it is strep.
If it truly is strep throat (which you wouldn't know w/o going to the Dr. )then it could spread to your bloodstream & even to your heart if you do not take this infection seriously. You will need antibiotics. If you don't find time for the Dr. now, you may be forced to find time for the hospital later.

Gargling a solution of salt and aspirin is probably as good as anything. Most strep throats will heal on their own without antibiotics but it is somewhat of a crap shoot. The real reason for antibiotics is to prevent the complications of strep--rheumatic fever with its potentially serious involvement of joints, heart valves and kidneys. Think it over carefully.

It works best on muscle and body aches. It dates back to ancient China and they used the purest gold and silver coins.
A lot of Eastern practises are preventative so they can stop you getting serious illnesses like cancer in the first place. You have to be a bit more selective - these Eastern practises have their fair
Yes, indeed.
I haven't heard of that. Leukemia is an odd aliment to be worried about. It's not that common. Personally, I'd get leukemia before I'd eat a beansprout. They remind me of teeny-tiny yuppy aliens or so
I would say yes, it mite be the only way to save hes feet depending on the doctor that dose the chelation therapy can also help the other problems

I find it hard to believe that mixing bleach with vinegar will do anything other than kill you.
Take quinine instead of chloramphenicol for malaria. It is a sureshot remedy for malaria.
