Whenever you feel a twinge in your nose, RUN for garlic ;o) that twinge is the first attack of germs - diggin foxholes, as it were, in the membranes of your nose. From here, they will spread out for an all out attack. You have a one hour window to stop them dead in your nose.
Crush a garlic clove and sniff it up each nostril, individually, several times. Do this several times more in the next couple hours. does it work? 'hard to prove a negative...as in "I didn't get...because" as apposed to "I got well, after the fact...because"
However, I haven't had a cold or the flu in 30 years. The last time I had the flu was when I foolishly got the flu shot. Lemon juice is also a great 'preventive'
Does it matter what kind of cider? Raw Cider? what’s the difference.
