SORE THROAT

    The challenge to our body's immune system comes partly from the air we breathe, the fluids we drink, and the food we eat. Viruses, bacteria, allergens, pollutants, prescription drugs, and overusing our voice can produce a sore throat. Many people get a sore throat if they do not get enough rest. Sore throats are often the body's first indication of an oncoming cold or flu. In children, a sore throat can precede chicken pox, mumps, colds or measles.


    Whatever the cause, proper treatment is necessary to prevent the condition from escalating. Cancer of the throat starts with a mild, chronic sore throat with or without a cough. If a sore throat continues for longer than several days, your health care provider should be conntacted. See the sections on Coughs and Hoarseness in this book.

        * Gargle with Breath-Away Mouth Rinse or T36-C5 to reduce bacteria and viruses. When using T36-C5, add 10-12 drops of T36-C5 to 1/2 cup of warm water. Gargle with this solution, then spit it out. Use CounterAct Cough Drops as needed to help relieve throat pain. Spray the throat with Hot/Cool Shot Breath Spray as often as needed. Drinking large amounts of Melaleuca Herbal Tea will help, along with getting plenty of rest. In a bedside vaporizer add 2 capfuls of Sol-U-Mel and 10 drops of T36-C5. Begin taking Activate, as directed, immediately
