Strep Throat

Cell-food looks to me to be more like hype designed to SELL-food than to kill strep throat or provide any other true & scientifically proven health benefit. There may be some legitimate benefits. In the absence of complete ingredients lists, it is impossible to tell. They claim that "CELLFOOD utilizes a proprietary water-splitting technology that provides a powerful stream of bio-available oxygen plus 129 nutrients directly to the cells".

All of the food you eat goes through a complex set of digestion functions on both the macro and micro level. Your body processes the nutrients and delivers them to the cells as needed via the circulatory system or stores them for later use. Some nutrients (simple sugars such as sucrose, fructose, lactose, glucose, & dextrose) are processed & delivered to the cells more quickly than other nutrients. Complex carbohydrates, proteins, & fats go through the digestion processes more slowly than simple sugars. How a food delivers nutrients and oxygen "directly to the cells" bypassing all digestive, circulatory, & respiratory processes is beyond my comprehension.

Most healthy people have an oxygen saturation (the percentage of hemoglobin binding sites in the bloodstream that are occupied by oxygen) at or near 100%. They don't all eat CellFood to make that happen. When we exercise, we use oxygen more rapidly than when we are at rest; & we breathe more rapidly to take in oxygen more rapidly. Too much oxygen can actually cause great harm & even death from oxygen toxicity. Under certain circumstances, too much oxygen causes human beings to stop breathing because the excess oxygen displaces carbon dioxide (CO2), the trigger to take a breath.

Water is one oxygen atom combined with two hydrogen atoms, "H2O". When you separate or "split" water into hydrogen & oxygen (one method is electrolysis) you have an explosive mixture of the two gasses, hydrogen & oxygen, that can be used to power a rocket. As a licensed medical professional, it looks much more like a sales gimmick than a group of products that are based in solid (independent, consistently replicated, double-blind, in vivo) scientific research. A single study is a very long way from scientific proof.

If you already know for sure that you have strep throat, that means that you have been to see your doctor or other health care provider & had a strep test. If you don't know it's strep for sure, you should see your doctor as soon as possible.

Strep throat is highly contagious, can sometimes be quite serious and cause permanent damage to vital organs. I strongly encourage you to follow your doctor's instructions for treating strep throat.

Our organs for the voice are vocal cords, nasal cavities, lips and tongue. When we are suffering from a bad cold, these organs change in shape and size. Their functions are distorted so they give us changes in our voice.

Strep throat is affection of your throat by streptococcus pyogenes bacteria. You get pain in your throat and there is fever associated with throat pain.

Yes, an ordinary sore throat can cause as much pain or discomfort as Strep throat. The main differences are the classic white sores on the tonsils seen in Strep Throat. Strep can also cause high fevers in children, but not always. Some children develop no fever or only a low-grade fever, until they are very ill. Some kids who repeatedly get Strep throat stop having ear pain each time; an alternate symptom is stomach pain caused by the specific proteins that bacteria produce that is then swallowed and attacks the stomach walls.

Yes. This pain should be bearable.

About 1 week. Symptoms can last for 2-5 days. Best way to treat is a tablespoon of honey and 2 teaspoons of lemon juice. Strep is similar.

Streptococcus pyogenes is gram positive bacteria.

If you are allergic to penicillin, that is the first thing you will tell to your physician, every time you visit him! You can go for clarithromycin or azithromycin.

One type of streptococcus, streptococcus agalactiae, can cause vaginal colonization. Which can lead to neonatal sepsis.

Strep throat is caused by a bacterium known as streptococcus bacillus.

I've heard that if you sing too much you will get some sort of ulcers in you throat for days or even months, so you shouldn't sing too much if you dont want ulcers.

usually strep throat lasts up to 10 to 14 days, depending on your antibiotic

If you use your voice excessively (singing, speaking, cheering, yelling) or strain your voice often, you could have polyps or some other problem. You should see your doctor to get it taken care of, because if it goes on too long, more damage may be done.

You can most definitely give someone strep. You need to be under medication for 24 hours before you are no longer contagious. You can give it to someone by coughing on them or just being in close contact.

Dicloxacillin is not typically the first choice for treating strep throat, which is most commonly caused by Streptococcus pyogenes. Instead, penicillin or amoxicillin is usually preferred due to their effectiveness against this specific bacterium. Dicloxacillin may be used if there is a concern for resistant bacteria or if the patient has a penicillin allergy, but this is less common. Always consult a healthcare professional for appropriate treatment recommendations.

Yes, the bacteria that cause strep throat, primarily Streptococcus pyogenes, can survive on surfaces like blankets for a limited time, typically a few hours to a few days, depending on environmental conditions. While direct transmission usually occurs through respiratory droplets, contaminated surfaces can pose a risk if someone touches them and then their face. Regular cleaning and hygiene practices can help reduce the risk of transmission.
