Talked to a lady visiting with people at an assisted living home, wearing a surgical mask, yesterday. Bronchitis for seven weeks, antibiotics aren’t helping. Bacteria are alive too and nature gives them a survival strategy a lot like ours. The survivors of whatever came along to kill a bunch of us pass along the who’s-it that made such survival possible.
Yep.
That’s exactly what happened to my dad. He died of pneumonia and nothing was working.
Survival of the fittest...
With Superbugs in mind, I carry (in my uniform trouser cargo pockets)
glass bottles of 100% Essential Peppermint and
Lavender oils to use on my hands, fingers, wrists and arms [***not recommended unless your skin is tolerant of direct oil contact, which mine is of course***].
Some of the patients like the smell of Peppermint oil and/ or the Lavender oil.
Both oils are safe for human immune system and are both lethal to viruses, bacteria and prions. They actually work better than alcohol-based hand sanitizer that my ambulance company issues....but I tend to avoid.
Essential oils are re-growing in popularity for home-remedies against chronic infections and acute illnesses due to our Post-Antibiotic / Super-resistant Bacteria time period we are in.
