Thursday, January 15, 2004My late father alleged that sweating out a cold, usually overnight, would shorten or prevent it. I use it myself when I get that "oh oh, tomorrow I'll have a cold" feeling-lots of blankets and comforters, an extra hour of sleep-and I don't believe I've ever developed a cold afterwards. Hardly a clinical trial. Of course, a diet high in fresh vegetables and fruit could have something to do with it, too. But, contrawise again, my father's diet was conspicously short of fresh veggies and fruit, so back to square one on the research. And fictional: Do you remember Charlie Weaver with his letters from his mother in Mt. Idy? Here's his Mother's remedy for a cold/flu: You drink 2 oz of brandy after a hot bath. Charlie said he tried it, but he could never finish drinking the hot bath. posted by Sydney on 1/15/2004 09:55:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
