If this turns into pneumonia or a

very complicated chest congestion, you can buy from

a drug store : "Bronkaid" caplets...you can crush them

(if you can't swallow them) and put into juice. These

are very strong and will literally pull the congestion

off of you lungs! I have used these several times

First, you need: Oral Rehydration Solution

Below is info and how to do it...

IMPORTANT TOO:

...below that (at bottom of this post) is my own idea...

...and is what I do with the flu.

This is taken from the site:

The Oral Rehydration Solution:

Dehydration, and severe diarrheal disease, particularly among children in the third world, is a massive killer. Recognizing this threat, more than 25 years ago the WHO (World Health Organization) came up with what is now called ORS, or an Oral Rehydration Solution.

Hundreds of millions of sachets, or packets of this powder, are shipped each year to various third world countries, and there is no doubt that their use has greatly decreased the loss of life due to cholera, dysentery, and other diseases.

In a Flu Pandemic, the need for ORS will be great throughout the world. In western societies, where modern medical care is common, IV’s are generally used instead of ORS. There are economic and psychological reasons for this, although many doctors argue that ORS would be just as effective for the majority of patients.

Dehydration, from a prolonged bout of flu; with it’s fever, vomiting, and diarrhea, can easily kill patients that might have otherwise survived the virus. As IV’s may well be in short supply, or simply unavailable during a pandemic, the use of ORS may well be the most beneficial treatment that most patients can receive. Certainly, with home care being the most likely venue for most patients, ORS will play a large role in the treatment of pandemic flu.

There are, however, conflicting opinions as to what constitutes the proper formula for making your own ORS. All formulas use a base of sugar and salt, in an appropriate ratio. Some formulas, however, add potassium and Sodium Bicarbonate.

A little Biochemistry

When the human body becomes dehydrated, it loses both water and essential electrolytes, particularly sodium. This condition can quickly become life threatening.

In the human body, fluids tend to move from a less salty environment to the saltier one. As an example, if someone drowns in fresh water, the water in the lungs is less salty than the blood, and so this water is quickly absorbed from the lungs into the surrounding tissues. If a person drowns in salt water, the water in the lungs is saltier than the blood, and so additional fluid is pulled into the lungs to `dilute’ the salt water. In other words, the body tries to balance both sides of the equation.

This is an important concept when dealing with rehydration therapy.

Ingesting plain water does not help restore the salt content of the body. But ingesting water with too much salt will draw fluids from the body, and make the dehydration worse.

While many believe the exact ratios of sugar and salt to be writ in stone, the truth is, if you have to err, err on the side of less salt.

Sugar is added to the ORS solution for two reasons. First, it was discovered in the early 1960’s that sugar helped with the transport of fluids across the cellular membranes in the bowel. In 1977, the British Medical Journal Lancet called this `possibly the most important medical discovery of the 20th century’.

Sugar also provides needed calories, and as a carbohydrate, can help prevent ketoacidosis from occurring.

But, as with salt, too much sugar can be detrimental, it can promote diarrhea, and make the loss of fluids worse.

This is one concern regarding the use of sports drinks, such as gatoraid, for rehydration therapy. Many of these commercially available mixtures simply have too much sugar.

Making your own ORS

The bottom line, of course, is how to make a cheap, safe, and effective ORS powder yourself.

The simplest formula is 3 Tablespoons of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt (sea salt is the best, if you have it), dissolved in 1 quart of portable water.

An alternative simple formula is 8 teaspoons of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt, dissolved in 1 quart of potable water.

This basic formula has been used effectively for more than 30 years by WHO, UNICEF, and other relief agencies and has saved millions of lives.

Over the past year, there has been some debate over the amount of salt and sugar in this formula. The old formula certainly works, and is safe. But some doctors have argued that a lower salt and sugar level might reduce fluid loss by curbing diarrhea.

I’ve elected to create single-serve packets of ORS powder, with each packet designed to be added to 1 quart of water. Two packets would be used for a 2-quart bottle.

you will need table salt and sugar. I am electing to use non-iodized salt, although I am not aware of any reason why iodized salt would present a problem.

Into one quart I am placing 3 TABLESPOONS of Sugar, and 1 TEASPOON of salt.

This is the basic formula recommended by Dr. Grattan Woodson in his GOOD HOME TREATMENT OF INFLUENZA guide.

In his home medical guide, Dr. Woodson writes:

"Preventing or treating dehydration in people with flu will save more lives than any other intervention during the influenza pandemic."

Identification of dehydration

When patients have a fever, vomiting, and/or diarrhea, they lose much more water from the body than is commonly appreciated. Symptoms of dehydration include weakness, dizziness, headache, confusion, and fainting. Signs of dehydration include dryness of the mouth, decreased saliva, lack of or very small urine volume that is dark and highly concentrated, sunken eyes, loss of skin elasticity, low blood pressure, especially upon sitting up or rising from the sitting to the standing position, and fast pulse rate, especially when moving from the lying to sitting or standing positions

You may elect to add a flavoring to this mixture. Unsweetened Koolaid would add flavor and color, and make the drink more palatable to some. It might, however, prove to be an intestinal irritant to some people. I intend to leave mine unflavored, and will add koolaid to individual liters of solution if desired.

I am figuring that a patient, over a week or two, might require as much as 10 gallons of ORS solution. For most adults, ingesting 3 to 4 quarts a day would not be excessive. Patients that are very ill, may only be able to take a teaspoon at a time, but every attempt should be made to force fluids.

And for someone who is dehydrated, having this solution on hand can be lifesaving.[/quote]

Now for my idea:

If you get to the point where you don't know what

else to do:

Please have on hand some 3% Hydrogen Peroxide

(this works and it won't hurt you at all!)

H2o2 Formula:

5 oz of milk (or juice) milk works better

Add 1 oz of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide

Hold nose and try to gulp it straight down...

follow with a couple of sips of plain water or milk

Be sure to sit up or prop up the person for at least

20 to 30 minutes after drinking.

If stomach becomes queasy, eat a piece of toast

or a roll and with it drink a little milk or water.

For 30 minutes following this treatment, don't drink

carrot juice (because of the enzymes in it) and do

not drink anything carbonated (or sodas).

You can also dip a tissue (better is a paper towel)

wrapped around your index finger and dip it right

into the bottle of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide (not diluted)

...just out of the bottle...and then swab the inside

of each nostril.

It may sting a little, but will remove germs there.

And if you can stand it, try to sniff some

of the peroxide off of the tissue...you will feel a

burning sensation in your head as it goes into your

sinus passages...but will the stinging will be over

with quickly...that will open up the sinuses and

get rid of the germ there. If you are sneezing, it

will usually stop that.

Also, at the first sign of a sore or tickly throat,

I sprinkling raw salt (sea salt is the best as it

won't affect your blood pressure like regular salt)...

...so sprinkle salt right on your tongue and don't

drink anything for about 10 minutes. You will feel

it literally "grab" the germs...you can do this a few

times a day. I always do this and I never get sore

throats.

I normally make Hydrogen Peroxide treatments

into capsules using 35% food grade Hydrogen

Peroxide and baking soda. BUT, you probably

don't have that on hand as you have to order it

online and I think the govt is watching this

as some people (they say!) make bombs with the

35% food grade.

They (govt) just doesn't want you to know that it

can heal you for pennies! I have been using this for

years and it works...I just got over this flu using this.

You could also purchase from a health food store:

"Activated Charcoal capsules" and take 5 to 6 capsules

per day to ADSORB ALL of the Toxins and DEAD Pathogens

that are being ELIMINATED by the Body!

Note: Some people dump the contents of the capsules

into a glass of water and drink it...yuck...I can't

but maybe you can?

Also my prayers are with you and your precious families!
Love you!

Lyn

NOTE: If you have the 35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide:

To make a 3% Solution, mix 1 oz. of 35% Hydrogen Peroxide

with 11 oz. of Purified or Distilled Water.

If you have a weak stomach, try 1 oz. of 3% hydrogen peroxide

in 5 ozs. of milk, vegetable or fruit juice, non-alcoholic on non-carbonated beverage.
