There is also an antibacterial remedy made by the same company, it is called bio 87.

There's a link I found.

I once had a painful throat infection that was getting worse everyday. I took cortisol for a few days which helped a tiny bit. I went to my ND and said I think I have a virus going on in my throat (because it always seems to be a virus with me). After a few seconds of vega testing he said it was bacterial and gave me bio 87. Within 24 hours my throat was a lot better. Within 3 days my throat was completely better.

My ND has told me in the past that you can do both bio 87 and bio 88 at the same time and he encouraged me to do so... so look into trying those medicines if you're interested.

There's another one called bio 93 too, its an immune system fortifier. I didn't get any relief from that rememdy but it is also something to think about.

I'm actually just finishing up at my university and I am moving to toronto to go to naturopath school. I'm starting at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in January. Excited!
