I hate having a cold. There’s just something about coughing and sneezing and blowing my nose that feels so bad. So when my friend told me 5 years ago that there was a mixture that works better than any cold remedy, I agreed to try it.
It’s important to take it immediately upon noticing any symptoms. One day I woke up with swollen glands and followed directions. About an hour later, I began sneezing and was congested. I had no doubt about it — this was the beginning of a nasty cold. I took it again as prescribed, six hours after the first dose, and then again six hours later.
By the time I went to bed that night, I had no symptoms. They came early in the morning and were gone by bedtime.
This is the basis of a very flexible recipe. You can add chile powder for sinus issues and to boost the cold and flu fighting power or garlic for more benefits.
