I've been healed!

I've been dealing with some sort of throat funk for about two weeks now. The first week I had a slight fever and pretty much lost my voice for three days, then I was a little better, and then at the end of last week my throat got really sore again and it stayed that way for four days. I had a strep test and it was negative.

I went to webmd.com and looked up all sorts of throat ailments, and after that careful research I decided my problems could be one of two things: allergies, or cancer. My mind works in extremes at times. Okay, all the time. But really, shouldn't a sore throat go away after a day or two? Pooey I say.

My chiropractor mentioned to me last week that perhaps this was a fungus, and in that case I would need something anti-fungal. Anything other than a regular ole virus would make going to the doctor and begging for antibiotics fruitless.

So I finally went to a homeopathic medicine store today and talked to them about my issues. They were super helpful as always. Very friendly peeps. They hooked me up with Grapefuit Seed Extract, which they said is deathly bitter in liquid form so rather than buy that and gargle, I opted for the pills. But it's sort of a natural antibiotic I guess. What do ya know! After one pill I felt a million times better. I just popped a second one. (Don't worry Mom, I can take 3 per day.) I also bought some Olive Leaf Throat Spray. It's raspberry spearmint flavor, which is fairly pleasant at first but makes me cough as it's soaking in. Anyway, I'm totally sold. I've been cured! I dealt with this crap for two weeks, and after just seven hours of the right drugs, I feel like a million bucks. I hope I'm still cured tomorrow!

Yay for nature! Olive leaves, grapefuit seeds... Next time I think I'll just go roll around in the garden.
