Revised 2016
This stuff really does work!
Put equal amounts of the following immune-supporting ingredients into a blender and give it a whirl:
onion
garlic
horseradish
ginger
jalapeno peppers
garlic
horseradish
ginger
jalapeno peppers
But what we did-----was to use it right away, and that worked great. Some say to strain it, but I just put it all in the blender to use as is.
If you feel the cold or flu coming on, take a teaspoon or tablespoon of the tonic in a small glass of orange juice, apple cider, or water. You can take it as often as every hour. It works, especially if you begin when the symptoms appear!
When I first made this tonic, we didn't have time to let it set for two weeks. My husband felt like he was getting a cold, so he took it several times a day for two days and his cold disappeared like magic, saving him lots of misery! I haven't needed to take it yet, but will if the need arises.
Someone I know also eats ground horseradish at the first sign of a cold of flu, and that works as well! Whatever works!
Additional notes:
More recently (2015) I made a tonic of only equal parts of raw onion, garlic, ginger root, and Bragg organic apple cider vinegar in the blender. I used 1 tablespoon of this tonic in a glass of orange juice or apple cider (not vinegar). This was done 3-4 times a day to knock out a scratchy throat that was just beginning. It was completely gone the next day!
I know that eating too much sugar the week before resulted in the scratchy throat! I rarely eat sugar, but gave in to my sweet tooth.
Sugar definitely breaks down the immune system! I've been off sugar now for almost a year again and haven't been sick, even while being around others who had been.
Stay well, everyone!
