The Sore Throat & Other Poems
Aaron Kunin believes that the part of yourself that you're most ashamed of is interesting and can be used as material for art. The poems of The Sore Throat, his second collection, come out of self-imposed semiotic limitation, yet manifest a fully inhabited psychological environment. Working with a limited vocabulary--200 words derived from a nervous habit of transcription--and with specific source texts--Ezra Pound's "Hugh Selwyn Mauberley" and Maurice Maeterlinck's play Pelleas et Melisande--Kunin takes hymn, epigram, ode, elegy, ballad, conversation, invective, confession, epitaph, inability, protest, love poem, (praise, valentine, aubade, seduction, defense of inconstancy), riddle, cosmogony, theodicy, vanity, and misplaced concreteness among his modes d'emploi. Combining rigorous formal procedure with a kind of automatic writing, The Sore Throat produces poems of unlikely, and heightened, sensitivity to nuances of feeling.

Three Do-It-Yourself Sore Throat Remedies
No one likes getting a sore throat; they can take a while to go away, and every day in the meantime is a day that you are suffering. And since many sore throats are caused by colds, which are bacterial, you can't even take antibiotics to make them go away faster (since antibiotics only work on viruses).
Fortunately, there are some things you can try that may lessen your suffering from your pain in the meantime:
Tea - Tea has long been known as having medicinal value, lifting the mood, and helping the immune system. There are literally hundreds of types of tea available, and now there are even some that are specifically designed to help a sore throat. Have a look at your local super market or health food store and see what they have or recommend.
Gargling saltwater - While it might not taste good, gargling salt water has been used by people with scratchy throats for decades. The gargling action can help with the pain, and the salt in the water may help reduce the inflammation in the throat through osmosis.
Ice Cream - Now to be honest, ice cream isn't technically medicine, but it can help relieve the swollen, burning feeling that you may have in your throat. Ice cream's cold temperature helps numb the pain, and it tastes good, too. You'll want to make sure to get a kind that doesn't have any hard pieces of cookie or anything in it, however, as crunchy food can irritate your throat.
Hopefully one or more of these techniques may help you find some relief in the meantime until your body finally fights off the sickness on its own.

How to Treat a Sore Throat Naturally Using Homeopathy
Learning how to treat a sore throat means learning that there are as many ways as there are people with sore throats. The most common solution is to use antibiotics and/or lozenges.
Antibiotic treatment tends to knock your immune system for six, in the process. And allows bacteria to mutate, into the bargain. Apart from the fact that many sore throats don't respond to such treatment.
You might be asking what alternatives there are, in your search of how to treat a sore throat. Effective alternatives, that is.
Would you be looking for a treatment which won't harm your health, doesn't have side effects, is not expensive, is easily obtainable and comes with instructions?
If that sounds good to you, then your first step is to purchase a good homeopathic home prescribing kit from a reputable homeopathic pharmacy. The best ones only sell homeopathic medicines. Some homeopaths also sell them.
Then you need to work out how homeopathy works. You need to be able to make a list of your local symptoms and then see a match within the symptoms of the most appropriate homeopathic medicine.
There are many homeopathic medicines which will resolve a sore throat, depending on your unique and personal symptoms.
Silica is a common homeopathic medicine, found in most home prescribing kits. It is also a common medicine for recurring colds, flus and sore throats.
You will need to see some of your symptoms within those of the medicine, to get a favourable result. The common keynote symptoms of Silica, which relate to your throat, include:
colds tend to settle in your throat
swollen glands
pricking sensation (as of a pin) or a splinter-like pain in your throat
stinging pain on swallowing
food can be ejected through your nose, when swallowing it
Other symptoms that may occur with your sore throat, or you may have a past history of, include:
recurring infections of ear, nose and/or throat
frequent colds, flu
lack of ability to heal injuries
chronic nasal obstruction
allergy to milk
unhealthy skin, acne leaves scars
worse in cold weather or for ingesting cold food or drink or inspiring cold air
weakness and fatigue, even collpase
Silica may be a good acute medicine for your sore throat pr it may be a great chronic medicine for you, in which case it will resolve many other conditions, too. Be open to what happens.

This Flu Season, Don't Mess Around with Strep Throat
Strep throat is a bacterial infection caused by the Streptococcus pyogenes (strep) Group A bacteria. You see it more in children than in adults, but adults do get it sometimes. This flu season may turn out to be one of the worst seasons for strep throat.
With strep throat, you'll see a fever and sore throat pain, usually with a headache (but not always) and sometimes a stomach ache. There might be swollen, tender glands in the neck, or sores around the nose. You might also see a loss in appetite and tired looking eyes.
Scarlet fever is actually strep combined with a rash, and there is also the sore throat along with some general symptoms, such as fatigue, and a red rash and skin blotches on the body (that feel like a rough sandpaper). If left untreated for one to two weeks, it can turn into rheumatic fever.
We normally encourage natural cures, such as oil of oregano, orange juice, vitamin C, colloidal silver, pau d' arco, garlic, and other types of natural cures you can find at the health food store. However, this flu season I did some checking around and found that (according to the opinion of my source) this latest strep is more severe and can hit a person really quickly... and that antibiotics are necessary in this instance.
This week my son got a sore throat one night. We just thought it was a cold... although his tongue was white and had a texture like a strawberry. We got him taking vitamin C and garlic caps. The next day his eyes looked really tired, he was lethargic and he had bumps on his chest and stomach. We thought the bumps were from laying directly on the carpet (that's what it looked like).
We decided to take him to the doctor and the doctor swabbed his throat and the results came back as strep and his rash was scarlet fever. Just the mention of scarlet fever made us cringe, then the doctor said it just means a combination of strep throat and rash. My son is allergic to penicillin, so the doctor prescribed Erythromycin. My son took his first dose and within about 6 hours, most of the rash was gone and he was feeling lots better.
I heard it's common for the strep symptoms to be relieved very quickly when first taking the antibiotics, although it's very important to finish the entire course of antibiotics that the doctor prescribes. If the doctor wants you to take the antibiotics for 10 days, even if you feel better after a day or two, don't stop the antibiotics. Keep taking them, and finish them according to the doctor's instructions.
Although we like to recommend the natural cures, this is the one season that if a person gets these strep symptoms they should see the doctor soon. If antibiotics are recommended, get them and take them all. You'll get very fast relief with antibiotics even as soon as a half day, and you'll minimize the risk of scarlet fever and rheumatic fever.

Dealing With Canker Sores in the Throat
Even though a canker sore is not dangerous, they certainly can be painful and disrupt your day. It is one of the most irritating and painful dental conditions affecting people today. Canker sores in on the throat can wreck havoc on your mood and everyday activities.The bad part of it is that there is no know cure for it yet.
A swollen and painful canker sore may make it difficult to eat or even swallow. Usually a canker sore will develop and then clear within 10-14 days. However trying to make it through the day can be a long and difficult process. Learning to recognize a breakout and manage it well can mean the difference between a good day and a bad one for you and your mouth.
Taking some simple steps can help keep a canker sore that is deep in your throat from becoming even more bothersome. Avoiding rough or hard textures like potato chips will prevent them from sticking to the painful areas. Stay away from spicy and acidic foods that may burn or sting an open area. Using caution when brushing your teeth can also prevent the pain of hitting the sore with your brush. Brushing over the area may even cause the sore to burst open if it has not already.
Taking over the counter pain medication like ibuprofen or acetaminophen may also help lessen your pain. In certain cases, a dentist may prescribe antibiotic rinses to help clear any potential infection in the sore. These rinses can help reduce pain in as little as 24 hours, but you must see a dental professional for evaluation first.

Suggestions on Mushy Foods for a Sore Throat
This time I will tell you some of mushy foods. This is based on a request from my friend. She got her throat incredibly swollen from thrush, because almost all the good foods suggested on her are not that easy to swallow. She hasn't had any meat in 2 weeks simply because of the fact that she can't swallow it. The last day, she couldn't even get down those little alphabet noodles. She knows that starchy foods are bad, but she wants to know how many bowls of mashed potatoes a person can eat. And of course, she is asking for suggestions as to mushy foods to eat.
People with candida who gets a sore throat has to be very careful choosing the foods to consume. It's not that because your throat is swollen you can have some portions of mashed potatoes. Go try cream of rice with no milk if your body tolerates it. If you want to try something crucial, rinse your mouth and gargle with mashed garlic that you buy at the stores in the little jars or make your own, it might burn a little but garlic kills yeast! Then you can swallow some, too, of course.
Another thing that may be interest of you is getting a small organic chicken, and broil it. Then put it in a pot with water and just boil the rest out of it. I put sea salt and vegetables in it, but if you left the vegetables out you might find that the meat in small enough pieces is doable. If not, you'll at least have some broth that you can sip on. In that case, the broth would have more nutrients if you wanted to add vegetables, I think. I enjoy it, especially when I'm not feeling 100%.

Did Mozart Really Die From a Sore Throat?
When Mozart died at the age of 35 on December 5, 1791, the true cause of his death was never determined. There were numerous and often romanticized speculations that he died from living a life of overindulgence in alcohol, food, women, and ultimately succumbed to exhaustion.
This is clearly the case as portrayed in the dramatized narrative of composer Salieri in the 1984 film, "Amadeus." Scholars in the past have contemplated numerous and certainly more plausible theories of the young composer's death including suspicions of poisoning, rheumatic fever, Scarlet fever, tuberculosis, renal failure, Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura, trichinosis, or severe edema.
However, a team of scientists from The University of Amsterdam believe that the composer's actual cause of death was from a strep throat (streptococcal infection), which worked its way into his kidneys. Unrecognized by 18th century doctors, the virus ultimately triggered a complete shutdown of his kidneys. The researchers believe that the clinical cause of death was acute nephritic syndrome caused by poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis.
Observers of Mozart during his last days described the suffering genius' body as being so swollen that he was unable to shift himself in bed due to the severity of pain. Other telltale symptoms of his illness were fever, severe back pain, and rash. While, Tuberculosis and other related conditions accounted for the highest number of deaths between 1791 to 1793, a minor epidemic of severe edema spread amongst younger men during the weeks surrounding Mozart's death, which is speculated to have originated in a military hospital. Edema, the third most common cause of death was recorded in the official coroner's report as "severe miliary fever," i.e. a severe infectious condition with all of the characteristics suffered by Mozart.
Despite compelling evidence, scientists will probably never be able to establish the true cause of Mozart's death, as the impoverished genius' body was dug up from his pauper's grave seven years after interment in order to make room for more indigents in the pauper's cemetery.

Sore Throat Could Be Deadly
Sore throat though occurs most commonly in children than in adults can be a threat to your life sometimes. It can get real bad that it might even block your air passage. Sore throat is the inflammation of the mucous membrane in the pharynx. The inflammation may be due to either bacterial or viral infections. These infections can get so bad that you might find it hard to swallow even a drop of water. This infection is more prevalent during the winter season.
Though, sore throat is most common among children but it occurs among adult as well. Recently, Szokan, the Washington post editor, battled for life because of sore throat. She had been a victim of epiglottises, a very common inflammation among children. This is one such case of sore throat which is commonly referred to as staph or strep throat. What usually happen in such a case is that the epiglottis gets swollen and blocks the air way. This is one such disease which requires immediate attention.
Earlier the victims of this disease were usually children below 5 years of age whose wind pipes are relatively narrow. But these days' adults tend to be the victim of this disease. One very famous example is that of George Washington death's who is believed to have died because of sore throat. However, this type of inflammation is very rare to occur. The more common types of inflammation that occurs are due to viral and bacterial infections. Sore throat as such can de divided into two categories namely, acute and chronic.
Of the two types of sore throat, chronic is more intense and they occur for a longer period as compared to the acute sore throat which last for about 3-4 days. The bacterial and viral infections are generally categorized under the chronic sore throat. However, be it acute or chronic, the symptoms of sore throat are almost similar. The only difference is, in a chronic sore throat it needs immediate attention if it is due to bacterial infections as it can be deadly.
The exact cause of chronic sore throat is still not known that is why it has been given the name chronic. However, if the infection is detected in time it is not impossible to cure.
It is necessary to determine the symptoms and causes of sore throat for the proper treatment. One good news is that you don't always have to consult a physician whenever you suffer from sore throat. Home remedies are the best for curing sore throat.
Your Throat Chakra & Your Health - Communication, Your True Voice & A Sore Throat
Are you comfortable speaking your mind?
Or do you find it challenging to find the words you need to express yourself?
Are you plagued by constant sore throats?
Or an on-again, off-again love-hate relationship with your thyroid?
All of these are issues associated with an imbalance of your fifth chakra- Vishuddha, your throat chakra.
I don't know about you, but I know some people who have no problem saying exactly what's on their mind, no matter who wants (or doesn't want) to hear it.
Likewise, I know plenty of people who are quieter than quiet and it takes pulling some teeth to get them to speak up.
I've fallen on both ends of that spectrum, both fortunately and unfortunately.
And I'm sure that you might have as well.
Your throat chakra is responsible for communication and expression.? It is also linked to truth and honesty.
This is a fun chakra to work with because its physical manifestions are cut and dry.
Sore throats, swollen or tights glands in your throat as well as thyroid and parathyroid issues are all in the realm of the throat chakra.? You may also experience a headache due to tight neck muscles.
When you are feeling open, expressive and honest, your throat chakra is balanced.? When you have throat issues or cannot express yourself or your truth, then you are out of balance.
This is pretty straightforward.
What is not straightforward is why we lose our ability to express ourselves or why we find it hard to speak the truth.
Perhaps we are repressing emotions and find it difficult to share with others.? Maybe we feel like no one else can relate or that we are wrong in our feelings.
Maybe you fear that your opinion might be met with opposition, that you could anger someone or that you could be alienated for what you believe.
Why should this be an issue?
Check back in your history books.
This is exactly what was behind all major incidents that I can recall.
Or maybe you are overly vocal in your opinions and you have alienated others.? Perhaps you are harsh and cruel in your speech and you are judgmental or deceitful.
These are all examples of an imbalanced throat chakra.
So why is this important for our health?
And what can we take from this chakra in order to improve upon our health?
It is within our human nature to be social creatures.
When you feel like you cannot express yourself or appropriately communicate with others, you can alienate yourself or you can alienate others.
This goes against our basic nature.
When you alienate or feel alienated, there is a desire to withdraw, a desire to take up habits that are both protective and potentially destructive.
You can fall into destructive patterns that only enforce your inability to effectively communicate with others.? This creates a cycle of unhealthy habits that becomes increasingly difficult to break out of.
Perhaps it becomes over-eating, alcohol, drug abuse or isolation, any way you look at it, an imbalance in your throat chakra is something to be taken seriously.
If you look at your reoccurring sore throats as just "nothing", then you might be playing with something more dangerous than cough syrup.
If you allow someone else to speak for you, then you are giving up your right to speak your truth, to be completely honest and ask for what you need.
Your throat chakra is not just about communication, but in your ability to feel free and unhindered in that communication and personal expression.
Maybe you won't see the physical effects immediately, but this chakra is more concerned with your long-term health.
So what do we do?
Find any way you can initially to acknowledge your truth.? Maybe it's through writing, drawing or speaking with a trusted friend- whatever it is, allow yourself that space.
Begin expressing your opinions verbally in a safe space and then allow yourself the time and courage to step up to a bigger or more challenge forum.
This is a life-long journey.? Honest communication is not something that you just wake up having.? It's a process that will continue for as long as you live.
Again, listen to your body.? Find out what it's physical and emotional cues are.
Experiment, be brave, be honest and allow yourself the freedom and space to express your true self.

Natural Sore Throat Treatment
A sore throat is typically caused by a virus like the common cold, flu or Epstein Barr. In some cases it can be caused by bacteria like strep or mycoplasma. A recurrent painful throat is more likely to be caused by allergy, acid reflux, overuse of the voice, sinusitis or an underlying chronic infection.
Typical symptoms like pain and inflammation of the throat may be accompanied by hoarseness of the voice, swollen glands, fever, chills, headache, respiratory symptoms and in some cases digestive upsets.
Conventional sore throat treatment
Most doctors will recommend rest, painkillers and plenty of fluids to treat this ailment. If they suspect it has a bacterial cause, then antibiotics may be prescribed.
Natural sore throat treatment
Fortunately there is a host of natural remedies that you can usually find in the home to treat this condition.
Sea salt and cayenne pepper gargle
To cleanse the throat and ease the pain, gargle with a quarter of a teaspoon of salt in one quarter cup of warm water. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to help numb the nerves of the throat. Gargle every hour or as needed.
Apple cider vinegar remedy
Mix one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with one teaspoon of honey (preferably Manuka honey) in 1/3 cup of hot water. Sip slowly as required.
Turmeric remedy
Mix a teaspoon of turmeric to a teaspoon of honey and sip slowly.
Hot lemon tea
Make up a hot lemon tea - simply add the juice of half a lemon to a cup of hot water. For added punch, add some grated ginger, garlic and cayenne pepper.
Ice cube melt
If your throat is so bad that it is hard to swallow, then place an ice-cube in your mouth and let it melt. This can numb the pain temporarily and will keep you hydrated.
Heat bag
Place a heated wheat bag or hot water bottle over your throat and neck to ease discomfort and to increase circulation to the area.
Essential oils
Aromatherapy oils like tea tree, lavender, eucalyptus and thyme are useful adjuncts if there are respiratory symptoms like a runny nose, cough or lung congestion. These oils can be added to hot water and inhaled or added to a bath or humidifier.
Garlic
Garlic is a well known anti-microbial often recommended as an effective sore throat treatment. I tell my patients to eat at least a clove of garlic a day - preferably raw or added to soups, teas or dressings.
Chicken soup
Chicken soup is a famous sore throat treatment used to bring relief from congestion and discomfort. Scientifically chicken soup has been shown to be high in the amino acid cysteine which helps thin mucous and expel it from the body. So dig up grandmother's old recipe, cook it up and enjoy!
Vitamin C
A popular sore throat treatment is vitamin C. Most homes will have a supply of vitamin C tucked away somewhere. Take at least 3-5 gram a day to strengthen your immunity.
