"The first Briton man to contact coronavirus in Wuhan has spoken about how he refused to take the antibiotics given him but rather employed the traditional means of treatment which is Honey and Whisky."

Im not surprised.

UMF20+ Manuka honey is almost a miracle.

well the whisky might be why Pattaya has had so few cases. 

In Ireland, we make what is known as a 'hot whiskey' when we feel the flu coming on.

 

Heat the glass first, then one shot of whiskey ( preferably Powers), slice of lemon with 4 cloves attached, 1 tea spoon of brown sugar and fill the glass to just below the top with hot water.

 

Drink until the bottle is finished ( ???? ) and you will have a great night AND wake up the next day with the flu, gone. It has been tried and tested and has not been found wanting. ????

In Yorkshire where I come from it's called a Hot Toddy

It says something about the competence of the doctor attempting to treat the Briton in the OP.

It's reported that in China many patients who started recovering later died from bacterial infections due to a weakened immune system. 

Yeah, honey, whisky and Menthol cigarettes, works for me so far, and I've just come back from Pattaya; oh, and stay away from people wearing masks, they"re probably incubating the bl#*dy thing.

Basically, Antibiotics are for bacterial infections, Antivirals are for viruses. 

I'm scared to death by this corona vius and want to be prepared. What whisky will save my life? Scotch? Bourbon. Maybe a single malt?

In my time in HM RN the grog "tot" was either neaters for non com or 2-1 mix for other ranks and was Rum and continued for over 300 years. Although I was not serving from the beginning

Honey - not a cure. Whiskey - not a cure. Antibiotics - not a cure. Honey, whiskey and paracetamol will alleviate the symptoms. Antibiotics will do nothing. There is no cure for the flu. Take to your bed, drink plenty of fluids and ride it out.

Manuka honey UMF graded has strong bacterial action

Viruses have t be fought by your own immune system

so keep it strong...I think alcohol weakens immune response.

Excellent, I'll go with that,

Honey to preserve the body,

Whiskey to kill the germs,

and viruses possibly not too happy around smokers.

Or the Brit's lack of understanding of what the recommended meds were. 

 

They are not using antibiotics for this. They are using antivirals.

 

Vast majority of people will recover without any treatment, of course. In fact WHO estimates more than 80% of infected people have no more than simple, self-limiting  cold symptoms.

 

 

The microbial content of the lungs is very complicated.  A viral infection can alter which resident microbes predominate.  Some of the microbes are anaerobic and don't show up in the routine culture tests that are run on the contents of phlegm from the lungs.    After having been sick with a viral lung infection for a month, my sister in Massachusetts insisted that her doctor prescribe a course of Azithromycin, a Quinolone which kills both gram positive and gram negative bacteria.  Now on her fourth day of the drug, she is very much improved.  It appears that the present diagnostic procedures for lung infections need a lot of improvement.

You're so right.

 

    Antibiotics are strong medicines that treat bacterial infections. Antibiotics won't treat viral infections because they can't kill viruses. You'll get better when the viral infection has run its course. Common illnesses caused by bacteria are urinary tract infections, strep throat, and some pneumonia.

Azithromycin is an Azalide antibiotic, related to the Macrolide family, not a Quinolone, which I steer away from due to their side effects.

That's true... But sometimes, the symptoms of viral infections can lead to secondary bacterial infections. For example, pneumonia can be either viral or bacterial. If bacterial, antibiotics would be indicated.... But antibiotics themselves have no effect on viral infections alone, AFAIK.

Nice one. I've used 'hot toddies' for years to fix myself up when I've caught a bug. Best fix going. ????

The report, which I'm somewhat suspicious about, was datelined 3rd Feb and says that he had this illness about 2 months ago. That would make it before novel coronavirus was formerly identified. So the doctors wouldn't have known about it.

 

None the less, kudos to the guy who chose to use his own method to cure himself. A man after my own heart.

 

Liquor and honey can cure a dull sexual partner also????
