Some people have it for life. Do a search on here for "Chronic fatigue syndrome cure" and theres loads listed. Indications show that a good diet will help and not overdoing the partying will help too. Herbally, try something like echinacea which is good for building a strong immune system. If she experiences inflammation in the nymph lodes then see a doctor who can provide painkillers. \n\nIt does re-occur. One gentleman on the net says its like having a battery which runs out quicker than other peoples batteries and when its run out the only way to top it up is by resting. Eventually he became used to the sensation and when it was about to run out he took a lot of good rest. By not pushing yourself too much, it will make things easier and with time you will be able to do a lot more.\n\nRemember - it is a virus which cannot be cured. The only way to get rid of it is for the body to build up enough defenses. Doctors reccommend not drinking alcohol and not overdoing exercise.\n\nThank you please!

Try Oatmeal! I know it sounds silly. \n\nTake about 2 cups of Quick Oats (any brand) and mix enough warm water to make it into a paste. You can mix more if you need more. Then just massage it into the problem areas. After you've massaged it thoroughly...then rinse...you should notice a difference almost immediately.

Get some Thyme and make Thyme Tea. Best thing ever for throat infections/sore throats.\nIf you can't find any, then try a sugar/butter ball (basically just roll a bit of butter/marg into some sugar)

Try putting an inch of apple cider vinegar in water with sea salt or honey and sip continually all day long like coffee or water.  I once did this when I had upset stomach and diarrhea..did for 10-12 hours and by night, I was well enough to go to the play I had tickets for.\n\nAlso try Dr. Richard Schulze's super tonic\n\nhttp://healingtools.tripod.com/supertonic.html\n\nhttp://www.800herbdoc.com/p49.asp\n\nalso recommended--http://healingtools.tripod.com/DS_pages.ht(copied from the last link--\n\nDiarrhea -\nHerbal Formula:\n\nAloe Vera Gel\n\nActivated Charcoal Powder\n\nSlippery Elm Gruel\nSpecific Protocol:\n\nDIARRHEA\nGastric Distress:\nHerbal Formula:\n\n\nLobelia Seed Pod Tincture\n\nGinger Root Tea\n\nGinger Root Tincture\n\nActivated Charcoal Slurry\nSpecific Protocol:\n\nGASTRIC DISTRESS/NAUSEA/VOMITING

There is a lot you can do. First, because a cold sore (or any virus) can't survive without heat put Ice on it. Sounds weird I know, but it works. Second, I rub a cream mixture of asprin and vaseline on it. It's ugly but works great because again, the asprin kills the fever. Other fixes and a lot of people find them helpful would be to get a prescription cream from your doctor. I used to get reoccuring cold sores until someone explained that you can kill the virus with cold. Now whenever I feel on coming on I immediately put an ice cube on it and it never surfaces. This has worked 100% of the time if I catch it right away. If you don't, try the asprin and vaseline overnight. When you wake it should be gone. Also, the recommendations about Lysine are also good ones.  Make sure you take a multi-vitamin to support the uptake of all related vitamins and minerals needed to fight off the virus and take a lysine supplement with it. BUT remember an ice cube doesn't cost anything and can save you a lot of time and energy. I can't recommend this enough.

There are some low cost things you can do to get your health back.\n\n#1. I would try the water cure\nhttp://curezone.com/foods/watercure.asp\nDrink six glasses of water each day and add 1/4 teaspoon of unrefined sea salt to the water to start remineralizing and rehydrating your body\n\n#2. If you do not have Pancreatitis from drinking, it may be that gall stones are causing the problem. You can prepare for a gallbladder flush by drinking 1/3 teaspoon of raw unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar in 6 ounces of apple juice, upon rising, mid-morning, mid-afternoon and after dinnner, for one week. You can dilute the apple juice with distilled water, as I prefer. Dilution is especially recommended if you are hypoglycemic. The small stones and gravel will be removed and cleansed due to the solvent action of the malic acid, enzymes, pectins and potassium in the ACV. \n\nThen do a Gallblader Flush;\nThis method requires filling an 8 ounce glass with one part organic virgin olive oil and two parts organic apple juice. Add 1 teaspoon of Apple Cider Vinegar and take this mixture 3 times a day for the first day and 2 times a day on the second day. You may only drink as much apple juice as you desire on these 2 days but NO other liquids. This is not recommended for diabetics because of th high sugar content of the apple juice. Go to sleep on your right side with your right knee drawn up to the chest. On the third day, about mid-morning, eat a raw salad with generous amounts of ACV and organic olive oil on top. You can also eat lightly steamed greens, if you like. When you have a bowel movement you will notice tiny greenish stones in the bowl. Amazing! You may notice feeling nauseated as toxins, bile and mucus dump into your stomach. Should this happen, drink 1-2 glasses of distilled water and regurgitate, if you can. This will help you feel immediately better.\nhttp://curezone.com/blogs/f.asp?f=179&p=1\n\n#3 Give yourself a coffee enema after the gallblader flush(critical)\nFill enema bag\nHook about 4 feet above floor (on towel rack)\nKnee-chest position with chest against floor and rectum higher than head\nInsert nozzle tip into rectum, using lubricant (olive oil) if needed\nEmpty water into rectum, and hold inside rectum as much as possible\nMassage abdomen in counter-clockwise direction\nWhen bag is empty or no more fluid can be held, remove tip\nLie on each side for 5 minutes, while massaging abdomen\nDiscard contents of rectum into toilet\nRepeat until bag is empty\nhttp://curezone.com/art/read.asp?ID=33&db=5&C0=818\n\n#3 When you complete these cleanses, coninue drinking distilled water each day but avoid processed foods, meat, dairy, bread, sugary drinks, and diet drinks. Your body needs to have a chance to heal itself.\nhttp://notmilk.com\n\n#4 Eat mostly fruits and raw vegetables. Carrot juice has amazing healing qualities. So do blueberries. Eat or juice raw tomatoes, raw cucumbers, raw celery, raw spinach, and raw asparagus. Add Curcimin(Turmeric) to juices.\n\n#5 Vitamin C in high doses would be beneficial.\n\n#6 Get at least one hour of sunlight each day. \n\n#7 Get plenty of solid rest

Try tea tree oil. You can find it at any health food store. I use it straight from the bottle. It works wonders.

Quit kissing strange boys, you don't know where they've been!\n\nBeyond that...make a point to get lots of rest...if its tough to sleep because of the symptoms...treat them...I recommend Nyquil at night....then Dayquil during the day (it won't knock you out).\n\nDrink lots of water, some juices are good. \n\nMy father always suggested hot tadi's:\n\nHot Tea with brandy and honey\n\n....I don't think this helps really, but it will make your throat feel better, and you may, at the least, care less about being sick after a few. \n\nIf it lasts more than 7-10 days...see a Dr. \n\nHope ya get to feelin' better :)

Increase your liquid intake and make sure your house is humidified properly.\nGargle with warm salt water (¼ teaspoon salt to ½ cup water) several times a day.\nDrink a glass of hot water with 1 teaspoon lemon juice and some honey. You'll feel better instantly. You can also drink a chamomile tea with lemon and honey added.\nCut a lemon into 2 pieces. Take one piece and put some salt and black pepper on it, press with a knife so that salt-pepper penetrate into the lime. Put the lemon on heat to make it warm. Slowly lick this lemon squeezing it until no juice remains. Do it 2-3 times a day.\nChives and scallions are helpful for a sore throat when simmered in water for 5 minutes. Drink as a tea.\nFigs, beets are beneficial in sore throat.\nEat garlic. Garlic is an anti-septic and good for many conditions.\nTake over-the-self pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Motrin IB®, Advil®).\nuse commonsense hygeine.

Zicam works wonders for me.  Helps you get over your cold something like 3X faster.  I usually get bronchitis every year around the same time and when I started to feel it coming on I started using Zicam and never got sick sick.  I also drink quite a bit of cranberry juice every day which helps in the vitimin department.  Take a multi-vitamin every day and wash your hands.  I saw a study recently that said that washing your hands was the top way to avoid getting sick so maybe it'll help you from re-infecting yourself.  \n\nA shot of whiskey with honey works for my husband (well, at least it shuts him up LOL!!)

Try Tea with some Honey & Lemon juice in it, or just honey on a spoon for a quick fix
