OoO for Strep Throat?

[Mimya]

Since OoO has antiseptic / antibiotic qualities I want to try it for Strep Throat - that I happened to get from my grandkids.

How much such I take and how long does it take to work or not - if not then I will have to visit the doctor - Yuck!!!!.

Thanks

Remember Scarlet Fever? Same bug causes strep throat. I personally wouldn't take the risk that something that can be treated so easily could turn into a lifelong heart problem.

I don't know. When I know there are tangible ugly bugs in my body (in my case, it was red stripes up my leg after stepping on a stick that came up with my foot), I get big drugs and don't mess with "antibiotic properties." OoO is nice when I'm feeling down and not sure I'm coming down with something--I'll bomb the heck out of a wheeze with the whole family, from echinacea to olive seed extract.

I would be right upset if I got strep by standing in line next to someone who had not treated it promptly.

What's with your doctor that visits are yucky? I don't much care for the hassle, but I like the office staff. I could do fine if I never saw them again, too, but not by gambling my long term health on an outcome.

Good luck.

OOO has been shown to kill strep in vitro.

While I might use it as a preventative or in conjunction I would see a doctor.

you're the same person laid up with the steroids and asthma. The steroids have put a ding in your immune response.

OoO may be able to give you a bit of a boost, but with an impaired immune system, you're going to need all the pharma help you can get.

Good luck.

cs_carver, I have seen my share of doctors lately due to my Asthma attack and I've come across some conflicting issues and need a break from doctors and modern medicine.

Sadly, I have No choice now but to get doctor approved care. I have a call into my doctor and waiting to hear back ....... who knows when that will ever be ......... :mad:

Thanks everyone!

Just back from the doctor and it is NOT Strep throat!!
It's more a reaction to the steroids for my asthma.

I'd still like to add the OoO to help me heal.

Thanks eveyone

I think it would be great to add OOO as a preventative now. Slowly...

I'm glad you don't have strep.
