killed FLU IN 1 Day
 

went to the Hospital
got stuck in claustrophobically small waiting room
for 2 friggan hours.... it was like being in an Airliner

then I was sitting here thinking I had a cold coming on

then wham! all the classic symptoms (signs) occurred
first sign. NO appetite (dead give-away for me)
second. Full body ache shifting around with the tingles
Third. feeling very Feverish and nauseous...
I was Very pissed off at this realization... too, oh yeah

well enough description :point: I knew hell was coming
~
I didn't have any chicken noodle soup..... in stock
so I took 2 1/2 cups of water and two chicken Bullion cubes
set them to simmer and then peeled 9 cloves of GARLIC
being careful not to break any!
and tossed them in... and added some HOT spices
(they boost immune system)
then I added a package of quick Garlic rice I had on the shelf
and a new product I had not tried called Quinoa rice (high protein)
being more of a tiny grain ... and kept stirring as it simmered
it made it a unique texture...

I then gathered my Other immune system boosters
(been studying)
recipe:
LION's Mane Mushroom
OLIVE leaf
Vitamin C 1000 mg
SPIRULINA ( a blue/green algae)
Ecklonia Cava (A special seaweed "full spectrum")
ECHINACEA/ Golden seal (combo)
"Dry" Vitamin A about 10 capsules...

forced myself to take all this stuff with LOL bionic kefir
a probiotic kind of a liquid yogurt on steroids
then ate a HUGE plate of the HOT kick ass spicy strong garlic rice

got in bed to let it all attack ->the flu BUG :devil2:.
and took A 3 hour Nap
~
next day: absolutely no signs of flu what-so ever
DOC RAVEN WINS :uhuh: flu 0.

:happy:

Nice,but remind me not to party with you!

well Partying is a whole different BALL game

if your referring to my use of Garlic then you should know
that cutting it or slicing it makes it stronger and boiling them
whole renders the strong Oder of garlic down to -1
all ya need is a pint of peppermint schnapps anyways
binaca peppermint mouthwash sells for a buck at the dollar store.
i'd rather smell like garlic then have the flu anyday :)

Correct me if I am wrong, but with garlic to be medicinal, you have to crush it and let it stand for at least a minute.. During that time the o2 in the air converts an element within the garlic. From there, if you do cook it, cook it very gently.

Hen of the woods mushrooms are highly medicinal as well.

Your poo must glow in the dark Craig.

Rav, try zinc lozenges next time as soon as you feel the first symptom.
Take for at least 2 days even if you feel good. Works every time for me.

tried those Dave but the metallic taste was not to my liking
I do have shelves of vitamins because I shop at Puritan pride
where you get :point: buy two get three free deals

so yeah, I also took 2 Zinc Picolinate 25 mg's
focus factor -> makes your thought process lightning fast
MACA --> even recommended for astronauts by NASA
all kinds of my normal everyday vitamins
I fill up a shot glass -down the hatch chased with kefir (thick milk)
as 80% of your immune system is in your gut
the rest i'd imagine is in your BRAIN... MORE ZINC to think :btu:
that's why they call fish brain food
that's WHY the CLAMMER is so SMART :uhuh:

never heard of that Nebe about waiting for air exposure hmmm
I try not to cook garlic in the house when smashed or finely chopped.
boiling whole they go to almost a potato type texture and are very mild but still do the job!
if I want strong garlic tho I fine chop it and cook it low heat in butter til golden brown
and slightly crunchy then make garlic bread.

sometimes I make my NUCLEAR shrimp when flu symptoms arrive

I boil them then butter fly them (cleaned) and having already dipped them in fine black pepper
I add some :af: Mongolian FIRE oil :af: to the griddle but you need MAXIMUM ventilation
ie exhaust fans running because
it's like tear gas strong... no exaggeration !

but you eat one and like ten seconds later tiny beads of sweat
form on top of your nose....
and you get a head rush like eating that hot yellow Chinese mustard
these I make if I am 100% congested and stuck in Phlegm city
that will open up any sinus's pronto

Here you go raven

very cool nebe
I have one to trade but later
right now I am completing a fiber -Glass (last chance of warmth)
project on the old van to make a stitch in time to save 9
body rot due to salt by the back wheel
doh

pain in the Butt that was
 

freakin fiberglass resin caps wouldn't budge
on forever (note to self syran wrap -em next time doh!)

one can was bad ! that sucked
the other was almost same deal so I had to cut it open on its side
to access resin and had an insufficient amount doh! #2
then couldn't go get more until this mat (patch)dries (or it'll blow off)
i'm porked... I forsee buying gorilla tape in the near future :fury:

now that I vented

Nebe here's the LINK I want you to read
it has a similar component where one substance changes into another

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/ar...u-healthy.aspx

the line with the reference is

Your body converts lauric acid into monolaurin, which has anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-protozoa properties.9

I'll Git you my Little protozoa
and you're little Dog too

Just take a cold eze. That other homegrown stuff has a powerful placebo effect in your mind. That said, I am glad you are feeling better.

One tablespoon of wasabi and not only will the flu be forgotten but you might be able to talk to God.

Did not see Listerene on bottom of list.....LOL...:)

Rav, you are unbelievable. :btu: :D

Glad you figured out Clammers intellect secret. :hihi:

ya know , I sorta like wasabi seaweed.... you buy it @ trader Joes and it comes in these super thin 3"x3" sheets about 50 in a package for $1.00 Dollar. It's better than chewing tobacco that's for sure and it packs a punch but dissolves super fast and is rather addictive actually.
It has all the minerals in it that the Body requires and I think it's a very versatile and a healthy food to have on hand.(survival or fishin)

By the way they also carry (side by side) the non -wasabi seaweed as well and you can add a couple of sheets to a rice dish for a more distinct flavor.

Well that's ONLY the Tip of the ICE Berg DAVE
he has MANY secrets, more than Felix the CAT, bugs Bunny and Batman :uhuh:
put together.

SINCE we're on the subject of health and "sort of " cooking

keep this strange health fact in mind (I love these)
your SKIN has the ability to convert the suns rays into Vitamin D
(11 minutes exposure is all that's needed daily)

Vitamin D scientists have discovered has a More overall controlling influence
on many processes within the body being called the great regulator.
especially on our metabolism. ok that being SAID.........

if you happen to see BULK shi take' Mushrooms on sale
they're the filet minion best tasting mushroom! great on Pizza and with steak

anyways you buy these and dry them upside down with their gills exposed
to sunlight even filtered sunlight and the vitamin D gets absorbed from the sun the same
as it does via our skin AND it retains it except it bumps up to incredible levels off the charts.

This can be accomplished with artificial light too. Then
when cooking something toss them in (dry) to reconstitute in a sauce or stew and
it's the same as having laid on the beach for an hour or more.

I learned this after my wife had to get a 50,000 milligram shot of Vitamin D to correct a deficiency
caused by an overactive thyroid Gland WHICH is the body's REGULATOR just like in a car...
and it runs on vitamin D

Does that hold true for those Southwestern mushrooms too. :D

southwestern ?
never tried -em buttons yes , but they are fairly dangerous

magic mushrooms GROW
in any cow pasture .....as the spores travel with the winds.....
SEE LAST SENTENCE
healthiest mushrooms come from fungi perfecti well, west coast varieties
such as LION's MANE
