Strep Throat advice?

[superja]

Just caught it from one of the girls at work! 

Been eating as many raw eggs as I can shove down my throat, some raw honey, and fruit smoothies. Any other advice?

I can't really swallow anything solid.

Avoid the fruit, or anything even a bit sour tasting.
 
Ease up on the honey unless you have it with much butter or animal fat.

Avoid veges unless they are smooth tasting. (hard to define)

The rest sounds good.
Make sure you (how can I say it delicately) go to the bathroom.

What Al said. I would add: Coconut oil mixed with honey. Let it melt slowly in you mouth and go down your throat as slowly as possible. Do not drink for 15 mins afterwards. Done several times a day this will relieve throat pain to almost none.

Can you eat coconu oil with raw honey mix by the spoon just to get massive calories for lets say weight gain?

Breakfast coconut oil mix honey and raw eggs by the spoon like some soup

What Hit_it_Raw said, I would add  - Coincidence, I was just making some to try it. I happened to have coconut cream I made recently. I mixed raw coconut cream, raw honey, raw butter and raw cream. Awesome. Eggs would be good also.

Basically all these things coat the throat. Strep throat is basically  compromised mucous membrane tissue in your throat area which could be caused by a number of things, such as shouting, talking too much, cooked food, sugar, coffee, tea, alcohol, soft drinks, rotten vege oils, excessively dry air, chemicals in the air, rough, dry, salty, sour or too hot food. All that is important is to coat the area, so that the tissue can repair itself.

Avoid talking, singing, screaming, and make sure you breath through your nose.

Catching it from another person simply means that your immune system was compromised for whatever reason and the last straw landed on the camel's back.

what al said. Iwould add;  it's not just for coating the throat. both vco and honey are antisceptic helping fight the infection. honey accalerates healing of the damaged areas.

Strep is most susceptible to heat and salt. I use very warm salt water gargles. As many as you can stand. Wear a scarf and bundle up so you're very warm, and sleep a lot. If you don't get much better in a day or 2 get more aggressive. If it is strep and it stays in your body at low levels it can cause lots of damage, anything can. I take all colds very seriously and focus all of my efforts on healing. Just lay low and recover until you're all better
Breath through nose even if it is stuffy. Do your best. Give loving meditative type energy to the areas that hurt, until falling asleep. I enjoy paying attention this way when my body is in the middle of a heightend immune responce, energy is wild like a storm, it pumps and rages, once its is moving. If not moving feel the stillness, breathe gently into it and patiently wait for the storm.

Thanks a bunch for all the advice- it was literally gone by saturday afternoon and everybody wanted to know how I got better so quick!


The girl who brought it is still out of comission lol.

glad to offer something that works quite well, really well, with soar throats, not sure about strep.  Take a piece of garlic the size of a large match head and suck on it, and more pieces when it's gone all day long.  Your throat will be Constantly bathed with garlic.  Not much can survive.  You can get quite good at sleeping with it in your mouth too.  I can't tell how many times over many years this has wiped out sore throats which almost always lead to colds for me.   Of course if you're at work with others you may not be able to pull it off.
