I just got sick this week with ears/sore throat/chest junk. I haven't been ill (other than IC) for a very long time. I was scared to take any herbs, as I have been doing so well bladder wise, but antibiotics scared me more. I emailed Matia and she put me on herbs. My bladder has been fine, and I'm on the mend. If you are a patient, I would email her. If not, I would seek out a reputable Chinese herbist. Tammy
Not sure if you are in treatment with Matia- but many times I had a sore throat that passed quickly as die off and I didn't have to do anything specific for it. Sometimes it would cme in go in as little as a few hours! When the sore throat persisted I gargled with goldenseal root powder. This seemed to have the least impact on my bladder. If you are a patient I would check with Matia if this is okay for you... if the sore throat did not pass or respond to gargling with goldenseal then I beleive she prescribed some stronger antibiotic like action herbs to knock out the infection. Hope you feel better! - Mary
