Here's another one. Put a few drops of eucalyptus oil onto the air filter of your vacuum cleaner and let it run in the room for a few minutes. It'll kill airbourne germs that may cause colds, etc.
Cheers!

Hi,
I'm a Naturopath, and for over 24 years the standard mix I've used for severe infections is echinacea and barberry. Never known it to not work and it does have anti viral effects.....Just be aware that like anything else there are possible side effects......You probably would need to see a herbalist to buy some (get liquid herbs, muuuuuuuch better than tablets)

cheers
Gary

Sure thing remedy

Heaps of Eucalyptus oil vapour will help clear the lungs and nose. If you want "Cure by fire"... and I do mean FIRE!..., put on lots of warm clothes. Make up a pot of hot Chillie. Add 1 heaped tablespoon of Chilie or Paprika power and eat at least 2 BIG serves. Keep a bucket of water handy. Drink lots and prepare to sweat! If this don't cure you.... you aint gonna care after the second bowl of this stuff! I swear by it. No bug on earth can survive it...

It does't seem like the antibiotics the doctors given me are working, so i'm just wondering if anyone has any old remedies that might help make me feel a little better.

Cheers guys
