THIS IS ONE HELL OF A GREAT FORUM WE HAVE HERE. EVERYONE IS ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP ANOTHER.
WELL I HAVE TO PASS ON A HOME REMEDY THAT I GOT FROM ANOTHER MEMBER.
I HAVE BEEN SUFFERING WITH A BAD BOUT OF THE FLU THAT TURNED INTO PNEMONIA. WHAT A CRAPPY WEEK.
THE B TEAM GAVE ME A SUGGESTION OF SLICING A LEMON (SKINS ON), BOILING IT IN ONE CUP OF WATER AND ADD SUGAR TO TASTE.
ITS SOMETHING I HAVE KNOWN ABOUT SINCE I WAS A YOUNG SQUIRT BUT I WAS SO SICK I HADN'T THOUGHT OF IT.
WELL 2 DAYS OF LEMON TEA AND SWEATING IN BED HAVE CLEARED MOST OF IT UP. I HAVEN'T BEEN TAKING ANYTHING ELSE OTHER THAN IBUPROFEN ( ADVIL LIQUI-GELS ) FOR THE FEVER ACHES.
THIS IS THE KIND OF REMEDY I PREFER OVER THOSE "COLD AND FLU" DRUGS THAT ONLY MASK THE SYMPTOMS. I CALLED MY DOC TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH HER AND SHE ASKED ME WHAT I WAS DOING TO HELP IT. SHE WAS QUITE PLEASED THAT I WAS DRINKING LEMON TEA. I REALLY DO FEEL BETTER AFTER THAT.
SO I SAY
MANY THANKS TO THE "B" TEAM !!!

I STARTED THIS THREAD SO THAT THIS TYPE OF REMEDY COULD BE SHARED AND HOPEFULLY MAKE SOMEONE'S ILLNESS A LOT MORE TOLERABLE AND SHORTER.
LETS SHARE SOME OF THESE !!!

Thanks Zappdog. Here's another one that works...

Put 4 large spoons of honey in a pan & heat up until it is runny. Then pour into a cup/mug & add either a tot of Brandy/Rum(however, don't overdo the spirits).

Mum & Dad used Brandy but I used Rum as I'm not very keen on brandy..

A GREAT LIST OF HOME REMEDIES IN BLOG FORMAT.
PRETTY GOOD INFO
