This is the most aggressive sore throat I have ever had!
It is trying to kill me!

I've been brushing my tongue with Iodine, gargling with a few drops of Iodine in a little water, taking Iodoral, gargling with hydrogen peroxide, guzzling CS, taking NAC, using a homeopathic cough remedy at night, and slippery elm cough syrup during the day, eating ginger and turmeric, drinking thyme tea, taking cloves and sage, eating summer squash with lots of garlic, and sesame, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, taking goldenseal, madagascar cloves, everything I can think of and afford!

Today my ribs are sore like I am getting pneumonia, but not on my sides where they usually get sore. This time they are sore in the front, near my solar plexus. The top of my head feel sunburned. I have never felt something like this before.

It is like this bacteria or virus or whatever starts mutating quickly with everything I take. CS was helping at first, then not so much. Now it is hardly doing anything, just like drinking water. It mutates even more quickly with the herbs.

I took 3 drops of super potent oregano oil this morning and felt a lot better. I thought I was about to get over it. Then I started feeling horrible again. So I took another dose. The second dose kind of helped a little. The third dose did nothing. Right now I have a bad headache. I am six days into this battle and now I've started sneezing!!!!

The sage oil I bought does nothing.

Madagascar cloves seems to help a lot, but I only have a tiny bit left. I have to order it from New Zealand and it's pretty expensive. So I tried taking powdered vietnamese cloves in honey. Did not help.

I am drinking more thyme tea to see if that will help.
