Is it possible for a common cold to heal or improve an unrelated illness?

I have recently been suffering from some urinary tract problems again. The Doctor said what I've heard before. "Your prostate is somewhat enlarged". But, that doesn't really explain everything. This is the second time, my symptoms suddenly changed from mild frequency, to an almost unbearable urge to go all the time and a light burning sensation every time. And this is the second time, my symptoms just as suddenly improved. My urine tests showed negative for infection both times. But, the doctors never took a sample of my prostate fluid (I don't blame them) to rule out prostatitis.

I must add, that I have been taking a supplement combination of Pygeum, COQ10, Lecitin, cranberry concentrate for over a week, but my symptoms didn't seem to be improving very much. However, I came down with a cold a few days ago and it peaked out with a fever, which broke yesterday. Today, I suddenly feel much better. Both my cold and my urinary tract issues have greatly improved. Is it possible that my immune system was activated to fight my cold and that also improved whatever was causing my urinary tract issues? I've read studies which claim that many men have sustained longterm improvements after only 7 days of Pygeum supplements. But, it seems very coincidental that I saw no improvements, until I got this cold and my fever broke. I know this sounds crazy, but could getting a cold actually help you fight off another type of infection or inflammation?

    Yes, it's possible for a separate infection, like a cold, to stimulate the immune system to fight off something unrelated. This is sometimes a strategy that doctors are trying to use. It sounds like that happened with you.

    hard to say, but good for you for trying other things...last year I finally realized just how important minerals were, so I started taking Bioplasma, a daily dose of 12 cell salts and I feel pretty good, in fact, I took the normal dose times 4 spread out thru the day, just to build up my reserves..the body needs minerals to repair cells 24/7 and so I'm loading up, so the cells have the fuel available whenever needed.

    keep doing what you're doing in addition to finding a naturopathic physician in your zipcode, look on yelp, doctors grades, and thumbtack, pick one and make appt. best wishes

    Yes it is possible. Having a cold will make your immune system work to fight off this and at times other conditions.

    Definitely possible, your immune system kicked into overdrive and so probably knocked out the "hidden" infection in the prostate and urinary tract that is harder to get rid of. Not sure the supplements did anything.

    LOL... No.

    Two completely different things caused by two completely different things.

    One is a minor issue, the other is an infection.

    Is it possible for a common cold to heal or improve an unrelated illness?Pray to John the Baptist. Pray to greatmartyr and healer Panteleimon. Pray to Grigorij "Novyj" Rasputin. If you cross your head (back of the head, front of the head, right temple, left temple), then the headache will go away. Plus blood is purified. To make upright perpendicular cross: using your right hand in the following way (picture below) cross yourself: touch firmly your forehead and say "In the name of the Father", touch firmly 1cm-2cm above belly button and say "and of the Son", touch firmly right shoulder (where 3 bones meet) and say "and of the Holy", touch firmly left shoulder (where 3 bones meet) and say "Spirit". Hand down: "Amen." Feet together.

    According to Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov, vodka dries one's brains. Smoking is censer for the devil. People who use drugs see demons who cleverly disguise themselves as aliens. Vaccines, IVs, tooth fillings, cosmetics, certain foods and drinks, medicaments, etc. contain nanochips and/or cells of aborted fetuses; intake of which leads to demon possession. If a dog is present in house or church, then the Holy Spirit will leave. Foul language calls upon Pagan deities (demons); Holy Spirit departs on seven meters. Blood contains sins; don't donate blood; don't accept blood transfusion yourself.

    Raw celandine (juice) cures cancer in minute amounts (like eating a leaf a day for 10 days, taking a break for 10 days, repeating three times); store this raw juice in dark glass container in a fridge for up to 2 or 3 years; add only hot water if you don't want to drink it cold; collect older celandine that is at least 20 meters away from the river from morning until 3 PM. Zodiac is planetary prison of demons; don't believe in horoscopes or you'll exhibit the traits of the trapped demons. Luck = Moloch = demon; don't wish people luck, please. Chanting mantras leads to demon possession; it's not the words that get you possessed; it's the rhythm. Meditation, hypnosis, astral projection, etc. lead to demon possession. Demons pretend to be ghosts and aliens. Barcode is Druid black magic curse. Most thoughts and dreams are from demons; demons never do good.

    Oral, anal, masturbation, porn, fornication, adultery, fetishes, cross dressing, etc. lead to demon possession. Sionists want to be the only people on earth. So, they promote contraceptives (early abortion), homosexuality, abortion (aborted babies go to hell for 33 and a half years and a demon is freed from hell), wars, disease, famine, deadly vaccines, etc. America will be last country to switch to Euro (antichrist's world currency). Sionists want to attack Iran. So, they need an excuse, which will be the Statue of Liberty. New Sodom (New York) will be flooded after an explosion in the sea; New Gomorah (Los Angeles) will follow after. Look at what Seraphim Rose had to endure. He was a homosexual, but repented. Now, he is one the great saints of the Orthodox Church. Pray to Seraphim Rose; he'll help you. Give to charity in the name of Archangel Michael; he rescues people from hell twice a year (or brings them up a level, that is, to a level with less punishment; eventually, people are freed). Feed the pigeons; when pigeons bow down, people are saved from hell. Birds participate in time creation. It's a sin to kill birds. Dinosaurs live under our level.

    They will get out through sinkholes and lakes. To kill them, go for their nerves. Save the birds; but kill the dinosaurs. First dinosaur will come out of Volga River in Russia. Since antichrist (born to a 12th generation prostitute, flying, big-nailed, gloved, pale-faced, red-eyed, Satan-possessed since he's 12 years old, homosexual man from the tribe of Dan, who wears blue robe over left shoulder while red/pink robe is underneath just like Jesus, and is surrounded by demons but people see angels of light) is around, there is no need for disputes. 666 is not forgivable; it leads to permanent hell. 666 is given with World Passport with no name on it (grey plastic card). Police 666 people on highways. Food stores and prisoners (released by the antichrist) 666 people too. Reject vaccines. Don't go into UFO to be healed by demons. Hide with Orthodox Christians to escape 666; leave all electronics behind so that antichrist's minions can't track you.

    Stay away from cats because one can receive mark of the beast because of cats. Pray the Jesus prayer slowly all the time. Sleep fully clothed; also, pray to your guardian angel to have normal sleep. Dress appropriately for your gender. Women wear non-revealing dresses and head-scarfs tied at the front; no pants and no hats for women. Men wear pants and hats (outside only, except priests). Don't get any tattoos. Reject new documents and vaccines. Ask Orthodox Christian priest to bless your house. Get rid of all Occult stuff (ouija boards, talismans, amulets, barcodes, skulls, masks, astrology books, tarot cards, etc.). To break any curse, pray slowly the Psalm "The LORD is my light and my salvation" 40 times a day for 40 straight days. That's 1600 times in total. Forgive me.
