Brian you candy ass, go for two full heads like I eat when I am sick!!!!!

But seriously, glad you are feelin better.

once again hilarious.

Damn you guys - thanks for the laughs. It has been a rough week and That felt great. (sigh of tension releif).

That's a complicated way to say that you farted

Nat I meant that I had eaten 4 whole bulbs, i guess the pieces they split into are cloves of garlic...I did steam them first so they were soft, hope that still works. Okay now for onions as topher recommends. Then i need to go buy more of these holy trinity health items. Garlic, Onions and Ginger-yum.

Hey Brian,

I was just joking about the candyass thing.

Anyway, dont forget the "vitamin C loading".

It could be allergies

I was thinking it was allergies because of all the weather changing. Then I realized this has been going on for more days than an adjustment to weather should take for me and also i've developed a rather violent cough, which I dont think allergies produce.

I use Zicam once I start noticing the symptoms or cough drops that have some zinc in them. Studies have shown zinc decreases the duration of colds.

I also use ginger in my green tea, or if I have a really bad sore throat I've noticed that chewing on a piece of ginger helps numb the pain-up.

Sometimes I make a mixture of: 1 glass soy milk, 1/2 tsp. saffron, 1 1/2 tsp. grated ginger, 1 tsp. turmeric, and a little sugar...heat it up to almost boiling and drink it hot. It'a a variation of an Aurvedic recipe I was taught as a child. Turmeric is supposed to have great anti-septic properties...and in combination with the other ingredients really seems to work well for me.

Hope this helps!

Take Care,
Kris

Thanks Kris. More health recepies, hooray!

Sucking zinc helps, if it's a cold. It could be "spring fever" though. that's when you feel crappy for a bit when the seasons change. I'm not sure if it's strictly allergies that brings on "spring fever" (I know it's Autumn, but that's the only name I know for it???) or your body making certain adjustments for a new weather pattern, or indeed some other factor entirely??? But, you'll be glad to hear it doesn't last too long & soon get going again.
