How to stop [almost] any infection
It seems recently that i've heard about an unusual number of people with infections that have all - somehow - gotten 'out of control'. Quite a few of them ended up in hospitals; one even had his big toe amputated because it went too far and doctors werent able to stop it.
Theres an age-old remedy for virtually any infection that occurs in arms, legs, fingers, toes, throats, chests etc which most people are apparently unaware of. that remedy is known as hydrotherapy, and it is better than any antibiotic i know of. Heres how it works:
once a cut or wound starts to give the tell-tale signs of an infection, like redness, swelling, pain, etc, its time to act. Begin by giving alternating applications of hot then cold compresses to the infected area. We've sown together pieces of sheets/pillowcases containing old corn; i've heard rice works well too. We throw them into the microwave for 1 to 1.5 min, depending on their size, and then apply for 3-5 minutes. Then we apply ice-cold compresses (corn works ok for that too, but not as good as ice packs from the store) for about 1 min. this 'set' we do 3 or 4 times, several times per day on a as-need basis. using hot water compresses achieves the same thing, but i would NOT use anything like an electric blanket to create the heat, as it can also create dangerous eletromagnetic waves that can cook you (so to speak).
theres no hard-fast rule for how often they should be applied, but a little experience and common sense will dictate these. the good thing is - its nearly impossible to 'overdue it'.
for bigger or deeper infections we use larger corn bags, and more frequent applications per day. We have large packs we've made for chest infections, long narrow packs we've made for sore throats, etc. Try to 'take' as much heat as possible without burning yourself (iow, be reasonable!) The use of ice packs is not always needed, like for very minor infections, which obviously makes it a simpler process.
results on cut or scrape-type infections are usually seen very quickly. for respiratory ones it usually takes longer. BUT IT WORKS. In fact, i've never seen an infection that has NOT been cured with this method. The longest ones to respond are definitely respiratory type, which take a while with conventional medicines also. Our children have had some nasty infections that have taken as long as a week to 'heal'. But they DO heal.
The reason it works is this: you're creating a 'micro blood pump' in the infected area, dilating small and large blood vessels and bringing in LOTS of fresh, oxygen-carrying blood and white blood cells with the heat, then SQUEEZING out the infectious and waste materials by constricting blood vessels with the cold. In out, in out, in out. Simple, isnt it? And cheap too. but the best part is ... IT WORKS better than any drug.
For the worst of cases like pneumonia it may be necessary to apply the hot/cold compresses to the entire chest AND BACK areas at the same time to get maximum heat and cold in there, for really severe cases maybe 5 or 10 times per day. (remember - you cant overdose on this 'medicine'!) This would require a family member or friend to help.
Is it for 100% of every single known infection to man? I dont know. But my admittedly uneducated medical opinion says its probably close.
Will it work just as well once an infection has spread too far? Obviously not. Which is why you really want to 'get' the infection before it goes very far. There is obviously a point at which one REALLY needs medical care or hospitalization.
Are there drawbacks? The only i can think of is trying to treat the 'wrong' things with heat, like muscle tears or internal bruises for which heat could increase bleeding. These may require COLD first to stop bleeding.
Its a shame that people feel the need to rely on doctors, hospital, and such expensive hi-tech remedies when the answer is right in their own homes. The next time a cut or sore throat starts, try this method and prove to yourself how well it works.
[note] hydrotherapy traditionally uses water; the corn packs we made isnt water obviously, but achieves basically the same thing. there may be situations where hot water is more appropriate that microwaved hot corn, but for most applications i think they would be equivalent.
