Re: [fast5] Re: What about when you're sick?

I don't know the exact formula: it's called "miracle cure" or some
such on the Internet. Basically they take equal amounts of ginger,
cayenne (or jalepenos), chopped raw garlic, and horseradish, and pour
vinegar over it. Let it stand. Then take 1 tsp. of the vinegar per
day. (one version is below). This one has ginseng: I use ginger and
don't bother with all the straining etc.

My version is: put it all in the blender with enough vinegar to make
it soupy, and a little salt. Store it in an old hot sauce bottle, and
add to food as needed. Yum! However, my family marked a skull and
crossbones on the front and the words "DANGER" ... so it's not for the
faint of heart. Mixing it with water is probably better for
non-hot-sauce lovers.

I don't think it really matters how much you take or what form it's
in. Basically raw garlic kills viruses, and cayenne and ginger do
interesting things to the body too. There are many different versions
of this sort of drink or sauce on the Internet and in different
cultures. Basically anything with ginger and pepper. One that is is
really soothing and most people like it:
