Diagnosed w mononucleosis advice needed

Posted By Erica (Long Branch, Nj) on 04/18/2011

Hello. My name is Erica and I have been diagnosed with Mono. I hated taking pain medications because of the side effects so I now only take advil and lots of supplements that im afraid are hurting my liver. My glands, particularly the left side of my neck have been swollen for a month now and I've been using ice packs, Tiger Balm patches and oils, and relaxation techniques. I need to get back to health and happiness and work haha.

Are taking apple cider vinegar tablets as effective as drinking the apple cider vinegar? I don't think I can drink something that tastes so acidic unless I add agave to it. Thanks much!

if you mix the Apple Cider Vinegar with baking soda, it will fizz up, and then it won't taste nearly as acidic. I usually mix w/ a bit of water and/or apple cider.

If you go to ailments on the Earthclinic pages look under Mononucleosis you will see that organic unrefined coconut oil is fantastic for mono.
