Help desperately needed for long lasting virus

Horrible Virus and not getting any better.

I need some advice. I've been in bed for 8 days straight with what is obviously a virus. I've been to the doctor twice and I'm planning to return tomorrow. I was given a shot of antibiotics on the first visit and it didn't do any good. I have high fevers, followed by violent chills that can last for hours. Then the fevers break and I'm very sweaty. There has been a little vomiting, but not much. Last night I was back in the urgent care clinic and my levels were so low, they gave me an IV and forced me to drink potassium. I have had a relentless migraine like headache since last night and I can't sleep. My body has been aching like I was poisoned but now I feel like I worked out too hard yesterday. I've been alternating Tylenol and Ibuprofen, like the doctor told me too, and downing the Gatorade. I'm miserable, have two small children and no help. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Hello! Hope ur a little better by now, but if not and for future use I reccomend making a concoction of 2 tbls of each of the following; raw apple cider vinegar, honey and lemon juice evry four hours maybe add ginger to it, I guarantee recovery a.s.a.p! Always works for my househould and if you can... Buy aloe juice and drink a shot glass worth every four hours as well or just add it to the concoction as well. This is a no fail system in my house and everyone I reccomend it to works for them as well! Aloe juice better than gatoraide! You can also turn that concoction into a nice warm tea by adding hot water and drinking slowly, makes you feel cozy! I hope you try this and it works for you! May you feel better!

I take 20 drops of Tabasco in 4 oz or less of water, once per day. I do this for three days. I only use Tabasco.

I don't take 19 drops or 21. I use this for many illnesses.

Good Luck! Hope you feel better in 15 minutes.

Dear Meridith, Were you diagnosed with a viral infection ? If so which one ? The symptoms you described can be the result of many things. The compound BHT [ butylated hydroxytoluene ] has proven to be a very effective treatment for LIPID ENVELOPED viruses that include: hepatitis B and C, the different herpes viruses, the AIDS virus, the flue viruses and others.

I don`t know what is wrong with you. If it is one of the lipid enveloped viruses BHT may help a lot. I encourage people who choose to try BHT to use no more than the 350mg capsules it is often sold in per day with water on an empty stomach. That is what worked for me for hepatitis C. I used only 200mg per day and I weigh 180 pounds. If you choose to try BHT: Take BHT alone, with water on an empty stomach and wait at least 1 hour to allow BHT to be metabolized and for those metabolites to be absorbed. This is what worked for me.

BHT has also proven to be a remarkably effective free radical scavenger by Dr. Denham Harman and many others in many studies. A simple way of thinking of that is that it detoxifies a person`s body in many ways. I also suggest doing a sensitivity test with BHT. Simply open up one of the capsules and lick your finger and daub it on the crystals and lick your finger to test for sensitivity, any negative side effects. Most people have NO such sensitivity, but some do. Some few get dizzy and a few have reported rashes. But this is almost always at larger doses than I have discussed and mixed with oils and other things. An effective dose is what is desired and more is NOT better. BHT is a powerful anti-oxidant, a GOOD thing in SMALL doses....Oscar

Those symptoms are strangely reminicent of malaria. Have you been abroad recently and live near any mosquito areas?

Ive just done some research on natural remedies for treating malaria.. Apparently grapefruit contains quininne like substances.. And is quite effective. If you want to try some make sure you scrape the white peel from under the skin and eat that as well. Either way it wont do you any harm. Health pros. miss malaria if its not a usual disease in your part of the woods.

Do you have access to vitamin C (sodium absorbate)? you could easily take 10-18 grams per day to kill the virus for starters (or more vitamin c until you get to bowel tolerance).

The hydrogen peroxide inhalation method has always been the winner for me. Check it out on this site. Bill Munro's method. Good luck.
