I had a chest infection lasting months from mid-june to mid-October, and despite a run of Moxy, then Augmentin, then Roxy, and finally Cefalexin, nothing worked. Out of options, I tried a friend's suggestion: raw garlic and honey. After three weeks, my symptoms and long COVID issues improved. It was a stubborn infection that caused me to over-relying on antibiotics, as the article suggests. Makes me wonder about GP's exploring alternatives, especially with rising drug resistance.
I found that three weeks + water worked when I had a similar issue. To be honest the water felt good. I envisioned peeing as a way to flush the badness out despite knowing that’s just not really how it works.
Yes. Placebo is one of the strongest drugs we got. The problem is how to make a strong placebo… But I remember an interesting study that placebo works even if patient doesn’t believe in it. Ot as effectively though.
