Dear Phillipa,
I'm not sick but my son is. He has a throat infection - left side only (weird) very sore throat & ear. Went to walk-in clinic yesterday & was given antibiotics. He's been fighting off a cold or something for over a week. Haven't heard too much else...one friend had an upset stomach.
Huge doses of Vitamin C (not the chewable kind). A former doctor of mine some years ago said take a certain amount of Vit C each hour - 1000mg or 2000mg or more. Keep track. At the point at which you start to get diarhea (sp?) cut back - that means you're taking more than your body is able to use to fight the illness.
I used to use raw garlic. Some folks use Echinecea (sp?).
My friend swears by Echilin. Another swears by Cold-Fx.
A 10 hour drive sounds horrible even in the best of health. Where are ya going? Somewhere warmer or colder?
I'm sending healthy thoughts your way Phillipa. So sorry you're sick. I hate being sick.
MUCH LOVE, Kath ((((((((((you)))))))
