Cold & Flu Symptoms
Posted: 09-14-03 10:56am

I caught a virus from a friend last week. I had the virus all week. My friends symptoms were stuffy nose, sore throat, postnasal drip, slight cough, body aches, stuffy head, and low grade fever. My symptoms were stuffy nose, sore throat, stuffy head, postnasal drip,but I had a really bad cough and lots of chest congestion instead of the body aches my friend had. Now my mom has it, and she is exhibiting different symptoms also. She has sore throat, earache, dry cough, body aches, fever, and vomiting. Can the same virus affect people in different ways? And could that virus be recaught from someone you infected?

Flu
Posted: 04-13-04 00:39am

General symptoms of the flu:
"influenza (flu) begins abruptly, often with a fever over 100°f (sometimes higher in children and slightly lower in the elderly). Other classic signs and symptoms include dry cough, headache, muscle pain, chills and/or sweats, sore throat, and potentially severe, and persistent discomfort and fatigue. Sensitivity to light or other eye problems, and gastrointestinal distress may also be present.Symptoms may be severe for up to 5 days, and may persist up to two weeks"

not everyone may experience all of these symptoms however. Yes it is possible for you to re-catch a virus as viruses mutate all the time, one of the reasons they are so widespread and difficult to treat. The same virus can infect people in different ways yes as everyone reacts differently to the infection and has different levels of resistance.

I found that the best natural remedy against flu and cold including respiratory ailments is garlic and most of all aged garlic!!!

Eat some garlic every day,
live your life in a healthy way! :)

What's This Aged Garlic Exactly?
Posted: 01-31-05 07:58am

I've read about aged garlic somewhere else but I newer knew what it is.
I have the flu now and i'd like to cure myself naturally. So I drink a lot of tea with honey, fruits etc... And i'd like to try this aged garlic.

Aged Garlic!

It is good indeed! Smile
aged garlic is the extract of fresh, whole garlic aged in alcohol. It contains all of the natural goodness from whole fresh garlic, and if administered correctly, without the unpleasant aftertaste or odor!

I have some pages that sell aged garlic:

edit

try it!!!

No Bad Breath?

I read that aged garlic is perhaps the best form for getting all the goodness from garlic without bad breath. Is this true?
Which is it that you recommend of these pages?

Garlic also comes in the "odorless" variety (ie. capsules) but I much prefer the smell of garlic int he skin and breath to meat. Yuk!
