Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78007539 More troops were killed by sickness than enemy contact during WWI. That particular flu strain attacked young healthy adults rather then the very young or very old population. That was due to a cytokine storm...a hyperactive immune system found in youth but not the elderly or the very young. It can be moderated... Also, aspirin dropped fevers allowing the flu to advance...it could be correct to say aspirin killed more than the flu. Both my grandparents were infected and survived....never had more than a day long cold afterwards. I think their immune system became supercharged... Cimetidine (Tagamet) stops the cytokine storm. Its dirt cheap to stock in preps. |

At one time I was convinced that Elderberry extract was the way to go... but it may potentate the immune response and with a cytokine storm it is the opposite way to go. I have settled on Lomatium dissectum root as an extract (online) or as the raw root(online) that can be boiled. Seemed to help the Native Americans (and Anglos) of Nevada in 1918. I would be interested to hear other opinions. |

No fever, so it's not the flu, but lots of coughing, a scratchy throat, and a runny nose. I've had it since Monday. Quoting: Anonymous Girl I used to get sick once a year, now it's 5-6 times. My immune system is shot due to stress. :/ Make a yarrow tincture to have on hand, and drink dandelion tea daily. Thank you for the suggestion. I just wanted to get home from work ASAP because now it's the flu. I bought some Neo from the pharmacy. Hope it works because this sucks. |

Daughter works at an elementary school where viruses have a field day. This is going to be fun. Lol That will do it. |
