when i first joined this forum, i remember some one said when she had been in company who had cold etc (i think Mrs O) she had toast and raw garlic, i take this every day now as i feel it does me good, and touch wood , not to mention tempting fate i dont seem to be bothered with colds.
I have ginger, turmeric, lemon, cinnomon and a few others as well, my OH thinks i mad, but if it works...........

I believe I mentioned my grandma's prescriptions for cold before... Diced fresh garlic with honey on the toast.. This is why it works? When we are getting a cold, it happens in two stages. First the virus infects tonsils, ( this is why the first sign of the cold is scratchy, painful throat. In the second stage of the cold it spreads to the rest of the body. Now, if you use the garlic and honey immediately when you feel the first sign of the cold, there is a good chance that it will kill the virus and the cold is stopped. Garlic is the active ingredient and honey is there to help garlic to stick in the throat. I use it just before the going to sleep, so it works overnight.

l too am taking those supplements (plus a few more) and have so far this year - touch wood - avoided all the bugs. l too think they're helping with avoiding infections.
