Hi Guys. Just wondered if anybody has any ideas on how to get over this awfull illness, am in my 5th week now, the cough is easing up but I feel totally wiped out, Im also worried as I have heard this can leave long lasting damage to the lungs, I have had asthma all my life im now 49 but for the last ten years or so i have been really well. It was a nightmare to get doctors to take any notice even though i told them what i was suffering with. Finally got blood tests results back, positive for pertussis. I did not take the antibiotics i was prescribed as they are pretty useless anyway. I would like to use natural medicine to undo the damage from the pertussis bacteria and also to boost my immune system. Thanks guys. BTW I live in England.
Hi Arrowind, thank you so much for your reply I will def look into your advice. I have been taking vit c but only 3000mg i guess its not enough. 3 Doctors told me that it was no way w. cough as i would have been vaccinated as a child , when i tried to tell them that it wears off over time they dismissed me as a silly ignorant woman, finally had diagnosis after 5 weeks. The medical profession do not like when you diagnose yourself, anyway rant over (for now). Many thanks again for your reply.
As an adult your whooping cough epidsode should not be so long lasting. Generally it is quite benign for an adult. You may want to look at ways to boost your immune system over all.
Yes, vaccines do wear off in many cases. They are making a find mess of things and putting adults at great risk with some fairly common and not to dangerous childhood diseases that children should have had naturally.
Hya, am in my fifth week now and still feel rubbish, cough not as bad but am very weak and tired, no appetite, I have lost 101b since the start of illness. I hve read all about the vit c and it sounds great for boosting my immune system, also I have sent off for items needed for castor oil pack. Thanks again for your help.
Doesnt it say on the label? That would be individual with each product I would say, but if it is pure vitamin c I would thing that one measured gram is one gram. Your brave to take it in that form! Are you going to put it in capsules?
Hya, Its ok I figured it out, 1 heaped teaspoon is 5000mg, in 24 hour period I have been taking 20,000mg I feel better already, very bitter but doable. My adult daughter took 5000mg but spent the evening on the loo...whoops
!. Not using capsules just dissolving it in water.
