Re: Support/experience/suggestions requested regarding persistent viral misery
Coincidentally, I have been pulling together info on antivirals for my friend who has herpes, so I am just going to copy and paste it here. I apologize for the lack of organization, I have not gotten that far yet.
By the way, migraines can be helped by sepia 30c, 3-4 pellets under the tongue at the first sign of a migraine, and then 45 minutes later if necessary. Also take a dose a week before your period. If sepia helps you, this means your migraines are connected to your hormones. and you want to research that. Click on my name to check my earlier posts to find out the diet I have found to be helpful with problems with periods/hormones.
And, because headaches in general are associated with detox, you want to increase your elimination to keep it slightly loose and optimally 3x day. Also be sure caffeine intake is the same each day. Caffeine withdrawal headaches sometimes mimic migraines.
Here goes: Sorry it is so jumbled.

LIQUORICE
Some clove oil - a tiny amount, such as one drop per liter of water well shaken is one easy remedy to help with the extreme fatigue, especially if the cause is viral in nature. Also clove oil is the strongest antioxidants based on ORAC scale, at 10,000,000 units.
Licorice is used to treat a vast array of illnesses. In China, licorice is considered a superior balancing or harmonizing agent and is added to numerous herbal formulas. It is used to soothe coughs and reduce inflammation, soothe and heal ulcers and stomach inflammation, control blood sugar, and balance hormones. Licorice is great for healing canker sores and cold sores (herpes simplex virus). Licorice is a potent antiviral agent and can be used to treat flu, herpes, and even hepatitis. Licorice is also a strong anti-inflammatory agent and can be used to improve the flavor of other herbs. With all of these uses, it is no wonder that licorice finds its way into so many therapies.
The herbs in the teabags were Thyme and Rosemary and Astragalus -- but Cat's Claw and Pau D'Arco are other good antiviral herbs as well.
Lysine works on cold sores at my house. Sometimes they also need B50
and selenium.
Lysine. You can also use OLE, but don't give it within 2 hours of the
lysine. Virastop can also help.

Keep at it. It took me more than 2 years to eliminate viruses at my
house.
TEA - helps flu, herpes simplex, AIDS and hepatitis NOT INSTANT
TEA: COLD & ALLERGY
-The most common therapeutic use for tea in the United States –to ease cold symptoms—is also getting a closer look by scientists. A particular compound found in green tea, methylated epigallocatechin gallate, can block the production of two substances in the body that cause sneezing, watery eyes and coughing.

Multiple tests suggest that tea can neutralize germs, including some that cause diarrhea, pneumonia, skin infections, and herpes. Drinking tea may help wipe out viruses in your mouth. A recent Japanese study suggests that gargling with black tea boosts immunity to influenza. Research at Harvard shows that tea chemicals stimulated gamma-delta T-cells that increase the body’s immunity against bacteria and viruses.
In laboratory tests, Japanese researchers discovered that the antioxidants in green tea block the biochemical process responsible for producing an allergic response. Green tea may be useful against a wide range of allergens including pollen, pet dander, and dust.
EGCG from green tea blocks production of the enzyme urokinase. Without urokinase, a tumor can’t destroy proteins of normal cells which it does to make room for the growing tumor and the blood supply it needs for continued growth. Basically, without urokinase the tumor starves.
