My wife and I contacted a virus suspecting that we got it from a member in our home group.   Anyhow I don't often get sick and this time I've never been so sick.  My wife got some OTC meds from the drug store which I dutifully took yesterday afternoon and night and then wasn't able to sleep and ended up hallucinating while In half sleep state.   The weird thing about the hallucinations were they were about trying to find the peace of mind and serenity in working the first 3 steps....really!!  I couldn't get it and god what a struggle I was in.  Don't have any idea why my mind hallucinated in that subject and it wasn't fun.   Got thru it and then returned to my understanding of steps 1,2,3.   Won't try to figure it out...its done, over and didn't kill me.  lol   ((((hugs)))) smile

I know you aren't seeking advice Jerry but I understand you guys don't have olive leaf extract readily available in the americas. Do you know what it is or how to make it? I swear by it as the ultimate antiviral. Also a herb called melissa oficinalis, I did my herbal medicine research paper on it as it bears my name lol, the two in combination are a formidable virus destroyer.
Also yay for spiritual growth in times of physical crisis, I love that.
Hugs.

when i get sick...i ramp up the vit c, plenty of water, and garlic...it has allysin in it (sp) which is almost as good as penicillin and bacteria/virus do not become immune to it....be it respiratory or digestion system, those nature approaches always worked for me...

also if it goes respiratory, honey and lemon work great...honey suffocates bacteria, it is also a great germ killer....

get well!!!

Hi Jerry,
I'm a Registered nurse, it was probably medication/ illness induced, but I believe we get messages from spirit or our higher selves in these altered states. I get mine when I use my Theta wave meditation recordings, or early in the am hours of dreaming. I usually get answers to my problems in these states. I keep a notebook by my bed for such occasions.
A Korean remedy from one of the Buddhists I am friends with: Fresh ginger, pine nuts, honey, cardamom spice. Boil the root, add the rest to make hot tea, I get over colds super easy when I drink it at first signs of illness.
Oh and lemon in the tea.....
Kat

I'm sorry you have both been floored by the flu. Many prayers for a quick return to health for the both of you, Jerry.

You had to miss your Sunday meeting, too???? Bummer. 2 plus more days sick may result in even greater appreciation for a return to t-shirt, flip-flops, shorts and being out and about when you're out and about? I won't send hugs only because I don't like being touched when I'm sick. I will send you continued positive thoughts and energy.

Well, take advantage of it anyway. i hate being sick, but sometimes the excuse not to have to work for a couple of days helps, anyway! I hope you get to feeling better fast!

Kenny

Grateful I missed Friday, Saturday and Sunday...Didn't get to be with my recovery family there and I did get to be with you all here.   Thank   you   God. 

I've been in jammies and tee shirt and flip flops for 3 days...gonna see if a shower and shave will help more.  I am getting better but then the hallucinations might have wiggled my brain more than I care to think.  Gonna have to ask my Doc what that was all about.

 

Ahhh KennyFJazz you work that wedge my brain wants me to consider just a bit more; taking a couple of days off.  You know you are talking to an enabler; a codependent don't cha?  How deliciously inviting that I can take time off fixing them and just work on fixing me.   Mahalo...It caught and is hanging on the door of the refrigerator in my brain.
