Yesterday, I started feeling dizzy. Then, the room started spinning worse than when I drank a pint of Barcardi 151 by myself a few decades ago. I was so weak that it took me nearly ten minutes to muster the energy to stagger 20 feet from my couch to my bed. I fell on my butt because the spins were so bad, and had to hang onto the furniture, walls and doorjambs to make it that short distance. I got nausea shortly thereafter and ralphed up my stomach contents. It was so bad that I was debating whether or not to call 911. I do not recall any pathogen ever hitting me so hard at the first onset of symptoms.
Once I stablized a little, I forced myself to get up and take my first dose of herbal stuff. I took a small glass of water and added a healthy squirt of Northwest Wintertime Support and pau d'arco tinctures, and used it to wash down a 10,000 IU vitamin A softgel.
The Northwest Wintertime Support tincture is great stuff. It contains elderberry, western red cedar, graperoot, lemon & peppermint oils and grapefruit seed oil. It is from Oregon's Wild Harvest, one of the foremost organic herbal extract producers in America. I highly recommend it.
Pau d'arco (aka taheebo) is an extract from the inner bark of the pau d'arco tree of South America. It has strong antiviral properties. I always take it when I get a virus.
Vitamin A is essentially fuel for your immune system. If your immune system is activated by an infection, it will start consuming vitamin A quickly, so taking this when you are sick is vital.
Anyways, I took that mixture twice yesterday to knock down the infection to the point where I could take the real cure. This morning, I mixed a tablespoon full of cayenne pepper into a glass of warm water and chugged it down. Because my stomach was so messed up, a little of it came back up right away, but I kept most of it down. Within an hour I was feeling much better. Within two hours, I was able to go out and vote and pay the rent (a day late, due to this vile infection). The cayenne treatment works every time. I was able to eat normally by this afternoon, and am rapidly getting my strength back. I am still walking a little sideways, as my inner ear still seems a little messed up, but that is getting better as well.
I am not sure whether I got food poisoning (tried a new sub place; had a philly steak; it sucked) or influenza. I stopped by the local hospital to ask, and they gave me a nurse's hotline number to call (they said they could not give out any advice or diagnosis of any kind unless I checked in). I will find out tomorrow what the symptoms indicate. If that sub place gave me food poisoning, they will be hearing from the local health department.
