Seeking remedies for chikungunya virus

Posted By Erica (Caribbean) on 02/23/2015

Chikungunya virus: Does anyone have any info on treating chik-v ? I got it in november and am still suffering pain greatly especially feet, hands, shoulders. It recurs in waves and has symptoms like rheumatoid arthritis. I am desperate to rid my body of this virus and am open to any suggestions.

Dear Erica,

I am sorry to hear you are still having these symptoms!

There are many anti-virals you could try. I would start with high doses of Vitamin C, for one. You can take it until it begins to give you diarrhea, and then cut back a bit. (Diarrhea means you are saturated. You want to get to almost that point.) When I am dealing with a virus, I take 1, 000mg an hour or more.

Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is an amazing anti-viral. We use a Tablespoon a day for bad viruses. On toast or right off the spoon.

A clove of garlic, crushed, taken 4 times a day is great too. I put it on a spoon with honey.

I would also take epsom salt baths or baking soda baths. (A cup of either in a warm bath.) At least daily.

Plenty of water or herbal tea will help your body to flush out toxins and help with pain.

I hope this turns around for you very quickly! Let us know how it goes!

Hi Erica,

Here is a recent report on silymarin suggesting it as a potential aid in the treatment of chikungunya virus:

Hi Erica, Its very sad that you are still suffering from pain and I really understand that. I suggest you to start having aloe vera gel, which is certified by the aloe science council, every day. For your information it is anti bacterial, anti viral, anti fungal and anti carcinogenic. It has great capacity to cure any kind of arthritis as well.
