Do you know/think if it would help with simple illnesses? Sorethroats, flu, stomach problems, etc. Or is it mostly effective for more complex illnesses? Cancer, etc? Wondering if I should try it with this horrendous strep throat. BTW, big notice on UC Health web page re Covid in big bold letters. IVERMECTIN SHOULD NEVER BE USED TO TREAT COVID 19!

There are many things you can do for sore throats. I will list a few natural remedies. Natra-bio sells a sore throat homeopathy. I always take that with anything else I do. Also oscillicocinum is a flu remedy but is effective against sore throats. With a homeopathic it doesn't matter whether it is strep or tonsillitis...only that your throat is sore.
Vitamin C in mega doses..take a gram every 15 minutes until you get to bowel tolerance (diarrhea) or just take several grams (like 5) at a time until you get to bowel tolerance. You cannot take too much because it is water soluble and you excrete what you don't need.
Gargle with iodine mixed in water or gargle with listerine which contains thymol (thyme) which has antibiotic properties. Cook a whole lemon in a safe covered glass container in the microwave until it bursts. Squeeze the juice all out and mix it with honey to help relieve the pain of a sore throat. Keep it in the fridge and take a teaspoon periodically.
Your reflex point for your throat is at the base of you big toe. Massage it on each foot until it is no longer painful. You may feel crystals under the skin that break up. If you have oregano oil you can also massage it in this point and on the soles of your feet. Be very careful not to get oregano oil in your eyes...it is a hot oil so be sure to wash your hands before you touch your face.
I have taped garlic cloves at my throat to help absorb infection. You can soften them in the microwave (peeled but whole) or use them raw and cut in half.
Take echinacea/goldenseal blend at the first sign of any illness. You can stop this from getting worse if you treat things immediately. Also there is tea by Traditional Medicinals called Throat Coat that is a must...very soothing and healing.
I have made essential oil blends and I use many other homeopathics so I never really have to deal with sore throats. In my 20's they wanted to take my tonsils out because I got tonsillitis every year but by then it was major surgery so I declined. So, I just learned how to treat it alternatively . There are so many other great, effective things to use. I am not a doctor but have raised 5 kids and I have spent a lifetime studying alternative therapies. Always do your own research and respect sll alternative treatments. I usually combine several treatments to give the body all it needs to heal. Everything here will do what any drug will do. Hope you get to feeling better.
Thank you my daughter always chooses the "natural"homeopathic way!
I believe that the Throat Coat tea has slippery elm bark in it. That substance creates a mucilaginous coating for your throat. Relieves a lot of the throat pain immediately but it is a little slimy drinking it. Be prepared for this if you try it.
