no... in all seriousness ....your immune system is at an all time low...Brother...

if you will take the time to read my posts on beefing up your immune system on S-B - and try some of those tips you'll start to feel better.. so search immune system on the S-B search window

but listen, here's a neat little trick and i learned it quite by accident
one day as i felt the FLU bug hitting me and my wife and i were supposed to go out to dinner that night and she wouldn't take NO for an answer.

If you have an Appetite that is...you can try this.

you order or buy some large shrimp.....you also buy a nice healthy firm clove of Garlic and some Italian bread... to make Garlic Bread...

take the shrimp and boil them red as per usual ok
but then you take them and slice the fat end in half
making them butterflied so they'll stand up on a flat griddle

leave the very end of the tail shell on for a handle btw
and then you dip them in butter and sprinkle on either cajun spice
or ground black pepper (HEAVY) or both to make -em hot...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
note: only for the BRAVE
i go even a step further and sometimes use Mongolian fire oil ...
the stuff is wicked hot and the smoke has to be well
ventilated or you'll be choking and have your eyes burning like tear gas ...so anyone wanting to try this stuff who loves hot stuff heed this warning... best done outside or you'd better have a good exhaust fan... on your stove .........set to high
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
so: fry the shrimp lightly on the grill pan in butter until they brown up a bit and this allows the spices to cook into the shrimp...see...

Garlic is Natures anti biotic

while the shrimp was boiling you should have peeled about 6 cloves of garlic and chopped them semi fine... and you cook them in more melted butter...just until they soften up or start to get brown on the edges... paint this mixture on the sliced Italian bread and put it in the oven to get... a liitle crispy... on top or crunchy.

now if you did the recipe right...after eating a few shrimp you should immediately have tiny beads of sweat on the end of your nose...
(then you'll know its working)

Spices double the power of your immune system

the other magic ingredient to this remedy is having yourself
a BRANDY ALEXANDER cocktail - just order one -
the nutmeg on top really packs a wallop on the flu bug.

final note: when i first feel that RADIOACTIVE feeling in my forehead ...kinda hot - and you suddenly realize oh no :(
i have the friggan flu... that's when i scramble to get the shrimp and garlic... as fast as possible... and after having this meal
by the very next day .......your symptoms will be cut in HALF :btu:
