I've caved....
On Sunday I started to feel badly. I've been on about 2-3K milligrams of Vit C for the past 3 months trying to keep my immunity up while going through the illness, and subsequent death of my Mom.
I did everything in my arsenal. Oil pulling back to back. Castor Oil packs on my chest. Tea of ginger, cayenne and lemon. Bathing with essential oils, H202, Sea Salt.
Well by Monday (at work) I had to leave as I got very congested and weak. Continued the therapies.
After a horrible night and breathing difficulties I called the Dr. and saw him at 2 pm. I had a 103 degree fever, and could barely breath. I knew this was coming on for about 3 days prior, but thought I could lick it. After all, I've not been truly sick for quite awhile, even while plague has floated around me.
I am on the Z-Pack, and steriods.....and I had to sit and listen to a lot of fear mongering, how he should hospitalize me. In my feverishness, I mentioned Vit C, at which he mocked me.
I have pneumonia. Got it from my boss who had it a couple of weeks earlier and was off for a week with it.
I know about 8 people in the last 4 years that have died of pneumonia, and a few were pretty close to my age....gulp. My Mother in Law died of BOOP....which is the kind that cannot be cured by antibiotics.
For all the BS Western Medicine can ladle on you, at least we have antibiotics when especially needed. I just watched Western Medicine kill my Mom dead. She had Cancer, but it was the last chemo treatment that truly did it. She was fine on Saturday, dead by Thursday.
Yes I know that the good bacteria in my gut is probably mostly dead. But I'm not dead....yet. I've had pneumonia 4 times now in my life. Three times as a kid, and I did almost end up dead with one bout. I thought I was over this stuff. At this age however, it's a much scarier game.
There is something going around, and it's some bad stuff.....
