Out of precaution, during winter months, I try to eat one of those little oranges that my kids eat at least a couple times a week. But as I’ve also talked about, raw kale and a little bit of kombucha every day makes you almost in upper proof. What doesn’t get killed by those antioxidants get wiped out with the Johnnie and wine over the weekend.
Do you have a side of penis with that meal?

Never watched it. Kind of surprising too considering it has Faison who I think is hilarious, and Marv from Wall Street.
I remember when the commercials for it first came out and thinking "That will NEVER last"... wound up watching all of it in Afghanistan and loved it, was glad someone included it in "greatest casts" thread, because it was a great cast.

I find a large glass (8-12 oz) of OJ every morning keeps me cold free all winter. When I forget the juice for a few days, and catch the inevitable cold, Nyquil does the trick for me. A good home remedy for sore throats is a mug of boiling water with the juice from a half a lemon and a tablespoon of honey.
My mother would give me HOT lemonade with a crushed aspirin dissolved in it. I think that helped...

Also, a nurse told my FIL years ago that you really don't get much vitamin C from drinking OJ because you basically pee it out. That is why I take high dose of the v C tablets so that I can absorb as much as possible.

Maybe so, but it works for me.

Sudafed, Coricidin, Tylenol, or Aleve, depending on symptoms, and a jug of orange juice.

Did you not see my input in the other thread. Milk of Magnesia. One dose and you deny being sick.

Alka-Seltzer was like that for us as kids. Can’t go to school? No problem. Drop these two tablets into water and spend the next hour regretting all of this, while still not feeling well.

Mucinex. Gatorade. Orange Juice. If those fail, or even if they work, then this....

I once cured a case of strep throat by drinking a liter of Crown Royal in 24 hours. (Along with an 8-ball and a pack of cigarettes.)

But that was a long time ago.

I don't consume any of the three anymore, but I have no regrets. :lol:
