Cold Kicker :: When you feel your body fighting something.

This is my version of healthy neo-citron.... it has yet to not work for me.
If you know you are fighting a bug that you want to kick...
Mix up a huge pot of this drink, have as hot a bath as you can handle with epsom salts , crank the heat up in your bedroom and spend the day resting in bed. Consume plenty of the cold kicker, and herbal tea and water but no other foods for 24 hours.

Ingredient ::
juice 4 - 5 lemons including zest
plenty of ginger
turmeric
garlic ( changes the flavor) some people prefer to take the garlic like tablets with water.
dash cayenne pepper ( go easy...)
honey to taste

Directions ::
Bring ingredient to boil with water in large soup pot
simmer for 10 - 15 min

Top tip ::
If the acidity of the lemon bothers your teeth rinse your mouth with milk to neutralize the acid.
NEVER brush your teeth directly after acidic foods.... brushing + acid will destroy teethes natural enamel

Radiation Drink :: immune system booster

So this is a concoction I have been drinking regularly for the part .... 15 years.
I use it regularly in flu season or when I feel my immune system needs a boost.

Ingredients ::
Milk or milk substitute... almond milk is great.
Generous amounts of fresh ginger as much as you can handle ( ie:: 1/2 thumb / serving)
Turmeric (fresh if you have it or powder if not) until the drink is yellow
Honey to taste....

Directions ::
heat milk but don't boil.
add ginger , turmeric and honey let steep but not boil.
- occasionally I add a black tea bag, cardamon and a dash of cinnamon for a chai effect.

Drink in good health!!!
