Respect, Rasta Bob. bless
I think the advice given by Empress Nzingha is the best. To recover from serious sickness like the flu, your body has to fight hard to recover. Drugs and things need to be processed by your body, and reak havoc on your kidneys and liver and your body has to fight off that poison as well. Your best bet, as she said, is to drink things like tea (fresh green teas are best, and things like Lipton iced tea....well that's almost not even tea)
Other things you can do to help your body recover fast is taking vitamins, minerals, and anitoxidants (the reason for the green tea). If the I is not vegitarian, a temporary switch to just vegitables would benifit you. Natural remedies work great for I. Things like echinacea, shitake and maiake mushrooms boost your recovery dramatically. The FDA will tell you they don't work... but come on, if everyone was healthy all the time -from natural cures- FDA, doctors, and drug companies would go broke...
The only thing regarding Empress Nzingha's advice I would be careful with is heat. Be careful, if you have a fever, not to over do it. A fever is another way your body fights off infections, by trying to kill the problem with heat... Unfortunately, you can't really survive too long at heats that kill viruses and bacteria. Just be careful.
As far as anti-inflamitories; I take advil now and then for training injuries. The only good thing it seems to do (numbing the pain, to me, isn't a good thing) is by reducing inflamation, blood and energy can more properly flow to where it's needed to help you heal. There are natural things that do this, but some homeopathic remedies are being outlawed as drug companies lost more money to people wising up to them.
Plenty of water is also VITAL, and ganja can only help, both feeling better (instantly) and actual recovery.
I hope my advice is helpful to you Ras. --Jah Bless --Selassie I
