Home Brews to get you un sick?

[AJ]

Anyone ever put together their own medical brews that seem to have worked wonders on bad colds and even the flu?

After being a bit under yesterday at work Jana and I went to Benihanna's for supper in which I was thinking their soup would do the trick and help kick my cold. Along with help from a nice Capt'n N Coke.

Well everything went downhill last night and I'm at home dying. So I'm waiting for the little lady to bring home some grub since I don't have a car to go shopping myself.

And now I was curious if anyone had any home brewing tips?

WTF, I'm sick too! It sounds like you have it worse though, so I'm ok with that. :p Spicy food seems to clear your sinuses pretty well. Just open up a can of jalepeno's (not black olives) and go to town. Other than that, it's just a mixture of Thera-flu, alkaseltzer, Vitamin C, Zinc, and Echinasia.

I'm thinking about mixing up an Gin in Alkaseltzer right now. :eek:

Do a couple of shots of Wild Turkey and go to bed. Works everytime. ;)

Oh yeah, I'm dying here. Jana's home with the Soup and Ice Cream but she forgot all the cold medicine and 7up.

I'm tempted to try downing a bottle of A1 steak sauce.

My $0.02 on staying away from illness....

-Take vitamins and/or supplements. Personally I only take natural vitamins versus lab created shit. My vitamins are produced by Standard Process: http://www.standardprocess.com/index.asp
-Drink lots of OJ
-A cup of coffee won't hurt ya because of the anti-oxidants it contains.
-If you have a sore throat, chest cold, etc, forgot about throat drops and all that fun stuff. I try my best to only use Sasco Aloe-Lyptus creme as it does wonders the above and colds in general.
-Avoid processed foods and fast food (preservatives in general if possible).
-Eat lots of fruit, especially apples.
-Drink lots of water. I have started carrying a water bottle with me throughout the day and I'd venture to guess that I'm drinking at least 1 gallon of water each day now.
-Quit smoking

Tea = the bad. That shit is nasty.

I made him some of my Echinacea Plus tea that helps me when I start getting sick. He didn't like it. ;)

Echinacea, vitamin C, and zinc are the best things to take while you're sick or about to get sick. They boost your body's immune system. Then, make yourself a hot toddy (scotch, some water, honey, and a slice of lemon heated up) and settle in.
