IGX

1) cup of green tea+tablespoon lemon juice+tablespoon rum+ teaspoon sugar. That from my grandmother from the old country.
2) I haven't been sick in any way in over 18 years. Reason is classified.

How do you ingest it?

Scoop it with a spoon and swallow. DO NOT CHEW. Whatever you do, DO NOT CHEW.
Do it with some honey or olive oil if you want.

Ideal procedure, as I understand it, is to crush the cloves with a knife, wait 10 minutes, chop and swallow. I am fucking terrible at mincing anything that small, if you have a slap chop it might work better?

What's with all the hyperbolic phaggotry. Just crush the shit with a garlic press, mix with olive oil, salt and Italian herbs, spread it on some bread and give it a light toast. It's called garlic bread. Sheesh.

2-3 days of 12 hrs sleep should help too.

Starting to feel a little better.

We're up to booze, vitamin d, sleep and Italian food. Right?

IGX is a special place.

Sauna. It won't cure you, but a good sweat will turn a three day cold into a one dayer.

Dayquil and Nyquil make time pass acceptably while sleep and tons of fluids do the job.

I've heard blueberries can help some too....

Pleasuring oneself until passing out from exhaustion always helps me. Even when I have a cold or the flu.

So the marriage has reached that stage?

I am insatiable.

I've called management and had the staff at your work completely replaced with lean, tattooed, wanton, bitches. Call your wife and tell her you will be "training some staff members".

Definitely some 80 hour work weeks will be needed.

Pretty close to my mom's recipe: honey, lemon juice, sugar and whiskey. I tell my kids she was making homemade Nyquil before anyone ever heard of it. We got this as kids at bedtime for a bad cold, and usually asked for a second tablespoon.

Mix all of these concoctions into a Nutribullet shake, top off with blueberries.

JMO.

When I was 6 or 7 I'd go over to my grandmother's house and fake sick so she'd fix me up with a cup or 2.

Strange that proto with his good genetics can`t eat blueberries,isn`t it?

A friend posted up cinnimon and honey mixed together on facebookand it worked great on me last week.

What has worked best for me is taking 50 to 100 mg of zinc picolinate before bed when I feel symptoms coming on. This has worked better when taken with oil of oregano.

I should point out that this has been the first cold and flu season where I've been taking 25mg of zinc every day and I've yet to get sick. I usually average one bout of cold/flu during January or February each year.

A friend of mine swears by apple cider vinegar but I find that it makes my acid reflux worse.

ACV doesn't work for me, but I like the taste diluted in water, which is a bit odd.

I tried it for laryngeal acid reflux(silent reflux) which typically presents different symptoms compared to the usual reflux people suffer(GERD) and it didn't do much for me so I'm reluctantly taking the Nexium that was prescribed to me.

Like you though, I really like the taste of ACV diluted in ice cold water and it does help with muscle soreness. But you gotta be careful because it can fuck up yo' teefs.

This says it all right there. What others can only take a tablespoon or two of, Andy takes in cupfuls.

I do this only I use decaffienated tea. Works like a charm.

Only way I can do ACV is to fill up a shot glass and slam it down, then drink a bunch of water to rinse my mouth out.

I do ACV.

Sometimes I just mix a tablespoon into a glass, other times I slam shots.

Since I've been sick, I've been dropping a couple shots into a glass of hot water, with a bit of honey, and drinking that. Seems to make me feel a bit better.

I've also mixed cheap brandy into everything I've had to drink for the last 3 days.

It's a Japanese thing. If machida does it, so do I.
