I've been pretty down since the beginning of the month. A crash. Soldiering on. Feeling mighty weird and not right.
A few days ago I decided to give Echinacea another shot. That is Echinacea angustifolia root tincture at 4:1 (1 litre to 100g) alcohol to herb.
I also thought starting raw garlic again might be interesting. So I am eating a clove 3 times a day.
Initially months ago I got some slight help from this combined concoction. Not a magical cure, because my symptoms did return, but that definitely helped me when I was feeling the initial symptoms.
The symptoms returned but not as bad as they were in the first 6-8 weeks.
Okay so I thought I'd give it another shot.
And one more idea I had was -if it all made me worse, then that would give me a clue that I might have some auto-immune issue. Echinacea is definitely contra-indicated in auto-immune conditions.
I was ready for the experiment. Three, four days ago I started the tincture 3 times a day plus raw garlic (organic) cloves three times a day.
Yes. Marked improvement.
I woke up in the night wet through from a night sweat, though no fever. Went back to sleep. I still tire after a few hours of the day, but had NO head/eye pain today, NO trembling, and had good appetite. Plus I actually ENJOYED a walk in the countryside. Not far-maybe 2 or more miles, but no exhaustion or even weariness.
I drank a beer before dinner (no ill effects. And had two coffees today, again with no ill effects.)
This may still be coincidence. Maybe it's a slight remission again? Which was happening anyway?
Oh...by the way I now stink. So don't come near me. haha
