OK So right now have a horrid cough / cold / flu type thing.
Anyway doing some research on the net and see both Ginger and Garlic mentioned as great for .
So go down int he kitchen but we don't have any
But I remembered my mother has a jar int he fridge of ginger and garlic paste that she made herself and uses for cooking, so I think what the heck and get a teaspoon and pop it in my mouth.
Anyway needless to say it's horrid tasting and I can't bringmyself to swallow it but I sort of munch on it and can feel the juices trickling down my throat, so keep munching and finally spit out the rind that's left.
Anyway have to say my soar throat for now is gone and I feel so much better. Even my cough is almost gone for now. Never seen anything work so fast!!

and hey, who knows if it worked, but she survived more illnesses than anyone really should, and lived to 84, so you never know.
Garlic contains this chemical called allicin-look it up-thats whjat does a lot of teh bug killing. Trouble is its made when the sulfur compunds break down-what makes you smell! So those odourless garlic capsules are poor. They don't contain the chemicals needed to kill pathogenic bacteria so IMO are a waste of money. God look you got me started here!
If anyone is interested (unlikely!!) pm me and I can send you some info-or the intro of my project!
Oh there is also a compound in garlic that can aid blood thinning-again only if taken in major doeses but still beneficial to include in your diet!
