Wow, Bex, you surprised me. You really have it hard. Tell me, have you tried essential oils? The real thing not the cheap kind. Nothing lives in those oils especially viruses.

I had a tooth extraction once and it was a horrible experience.
It got infected and the infection got worse eventhough I was taking mega dosages of antibiotics. I went to a health seminar and met a nurse, an RN, she told me about essential oils and told me I had nothing to lose and verything to gain if I gave them a try. I got Lavender to calm and sooth, Tee Tree, clove and oregano to fight the infection. I rinsed with Tee Tree oil several times a day, rubbed lavender on the skin of the affected area, I put compresses of goat milk with clove oil on the affected area. I got the oregano in capsules and took 2 every 4 hours. It took about 3 weeks to eradicate the infection but when it finally went away, my energy came back, I had a clear mind, it felt like fog had lifted.
Thyme, lemongrass, rosemay and tea tree erradicate Candida. Just make sure they are high grade oils though.

You like to read and research, have you read about Dr. Rene
Gattefosse? A French Dr. who suffered gas gangrene as result of burns from a chemical laboratory. He engineered his recovery using Lavender oil, nothing else. Gas Gangrene, the type he had, occurs when tissues in the body are infected with Clostridium bacteria and it can be fatal if not treated. It also has a terrible putrid smell. The person feels extremely cold all the time, the affected part is dark in color, looks rotten, decompsed and it has a putrid smell. it can cause Fever and anemia. He cured himself so you may find his work interesting.

I better go to sleep. I work early tomorrow morning.
