Pneumonia

I was just contacted by a 7th person in the last 24 hrs who has pneumonia. All 7 say that they have been doctor diagnosed but are not responding to prescribed medication.

If you suspect pneumonia, I strongly advise seeing a doctor and consulting your doctor about any natural remedies.

While most people recover, pneumonia can be quick and deadly.

If I treated myself, I would do a strong 10 day course of 2500 mg Echinacea purpurea, 1200 mg Elderberry, Usnea tincture, Mullien and 1000 mg vitamin C daily.

Dosages are suggestions and depend on form etc.

Stay well hydrated and nourished. Plenty of rest. Wash hands often.

Pneumonia is a dangerous infection of the lungs. It can be caused by a virus, bacteria, fungus or foreign object.

When caused by virus or bacteria, it is contagious.

Please be sure and consult a qualified professional.

Much strong healing 💚
