Zinc. Take it with food.

This is day 8 so does it still help after this long? I usually start taking zinc and vitamin C on the onset, but was in TX last weekend when it started, so didn't have access to it. Not sure if it will help now.

Happy Friday!!! Well it will be soon as there's enough coffee in the pot to make a cup. One of better things about being only person in house who drinks coffee (wife had to give it up) is not having to wait so you don't screw the pot up with an early pour.

Of course I make it extra strong so it's still good for me... gotta plan ahead you know.

May be too early in the day to start this treatment!

So reminded me of Grandma's "Moose Juice". Every time she felt a cold coming on, she'd take a shot of this stuff she had in the cabinet. If one of us complained about a cold or sore throat, we'd get a shot of Moose Juice.

Found out the recipe years later. Equal parts lemon juice, cider vinegar and bourbon.

Funny I couldn't get it to taste the same until I doubled the bourbon.

But Grandma and her husband rarely had a cold. He lived to 103, she made it to 96.

Well the new fad is to drink cider vinegar for health, so maybe there is something to this...

I hope it's not the same cold/flu I encountered about two months ago. Laid me up in bed for a week and then lingered on for another month.

Sending good vibes!

Well it sure isn't taste...stuff will make you pucker up like anything. I tried adding a little honey...that helped alot. And honey is good for you, too. My experiments yielded varying results but there were times when I had that scratchy throat feeling the means a colds coming on...shot of Moose Juice and never got the cold. Of course, that happens without Moose Juice, too. Still...
