I assume you have lupus? Even a healthy person would take rather longer than less than a week to get rid of proper flu. When I had it some years ago I couldn't get out of bed for more than a week - and it took the best part of 3 weeks to even start to feel human again! Patience! Influenza is a serious viral infection - it isn't a common cold.

I’ve been ill continuously for 3 weeks!!! I got the flu and ever since I’ve not managed to shift the cold!!! It’s no annoying and frustrating.

Try drinking warm lemon water. It’s detoxing and also good to boost your immune system.

I hope you feel better soon. X

Thks I did try warm lemonade with honey helped with sore throat and runny nose might stick with it for a few more days been having turmeric with hot milk and honey think that's only helping with the lupus side of things.

Thank you I'll take a look I'm lactose intolarant aswell.

What absolute rubbish.

I have checked it briefly it does sound good with what it's helping with symptoms shown i's what I suffer with on daily basis how much is it costing so I can order correct one can't trust amazon lol

Mega dosing vitamin c will do it as well. But people pop one capsule and then say, I tried it but it doesn't work. But you keep taking it till symptoms abate. And if they reappear you do it again. When the body is under attack you need way more than the minimal RDA which is only set a a level to prevent scurvy, and is way below what is required for optimum health.

I posted a few days back about a video online that explained the process but it was deleted (not by me) shortly after Paul Howard started following the post.

One of the earlier people to firstly suggest high dose vitamin c worked was Linus Pauling, a DOUBLE NOBEL PRIZE WINNER. He found out from Irwin Stone. But back in the 1940s Dr Frederick Klenner was having amazing results using high dose vitamin c.

Start by researching these people and see what extra links you find. You WILL see people labelled as quacks. But if you concentrate on proper studies you might indeed wonder just who is starting all this labelling. And why, if there is a basis to what they claim.

Further knowledge is only to your benefit. What you choose to do with that knowledge is up to you.

For those already with the flu and considering Tamiflu...
