Do any of you know if probiotics are a good thing to take when you are sick with a cold?  I thought I was having die-off because I started taking the SF722 again and got a major sore throat the next day...but now I'm thinkin I have a bug. This has turned into the worst head cold I've ever had!  I have so much pressure in my head and sinuses my eyes just water, and my teeth even hurt! I finally broke down today and took some cold medicine (which didnt even help much). Anyways, I figured the SF722 would be ok to take when you have a cold, but wasnt sure about the probiotics.

I would e-mail Matia if you are a patient of hers. She told me to stop the probiotic protocol when I am fighting a cold/flu. If you aren't a patient, she suggested to take 5 drops of oil of oregano in water with 1 capsule (open) of goldenseal root 4 times a day until you feel better.
 
 
Hope that helps! Get better soon

Matia just posted a cold flu season post. GML , ear formula are typical cold flu formulas but fyi I have had die off in the past like that. Taking a cold remedy is not aloud either BC what your doing is stopping up the toxins and then they have to go someplace they store into your tissues for further latency. That is the start of disease you don't want to do this.

Depending on your symptoms, Matia can tell you the best combination, it really depends on many factors. I would be too scared to try to treat anything myself. Have done it before and regret it ALWAYS!

So I currently have the flu, it is like death flu... and Matia has to tell you what to take for your case. I definitely wouldn't try anything on your own since treatment is such a matter of balance in the body. I have had die off like you described before, but you will usually know when it's something more than that. Definitely shoot her an email with your symptoms, overall feeling, etc. and she will help you! Hope you feel better! Oh, and usually when you're sick she takes you off your normal protocal. I went off the probiotics/R.P. and am only taking the flu "remedy."
