[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 721206, member: 1963"] If you can tolerate moderately hot pepper, a chicken broth made with 2-3 dried hot pepper pods (use red Thai peppers), as much grated fresh ginger as you can handle, and as much crushed fresh garlic as you can handle, (as much of each as you can force yourself to deal with) will often not only help a cold, but if taken at onset of symptoms, get rid of it completely. The combination is a potent viricide, stimulates the immune system, is a decongestant, and works as an expectorant as well. My grandmother used to call it "Gesundessuppe" (Healthy Soup). My late husband called it Moldavian soup. (He was part Moldavian, now and on and off throughout history, part of Romania) Whatever it is, it works. It'll also make you sweat thoroughly enough that if you wrap up in a towel robe while drinking it, it will often break a fever. If you can handle solids, adding some shredded chicken and veggies, noodles, etc, is fine. If not, just drink the soup. As my grandmother would say, "Ai, that'll clear the sinuses out." [/QUOTE]
