I am not getting sick

As some of you know, [livejournal.com profile] swestrup is feeling rotten. He has chest congestion, sinus woes, and a sore throat. [livejournal.com profile] blacksquiggles seems to have something similar. I am feeling fine. But, I have a big cough and slightly congested lungs. I've also been sneezing.

I took C vitamins, A vitamins (to help prevent sore throat), Activate (Melaleuca's "immune complex" with echinacea), and COLD-fX. I've never tried COLD-fX before. [livejournal.com profile] swestrup did some research on it and says that tests show that it is purely placebo effect. His mum swears by it. I'm feeling slightly psychic today. My "little voice" is telling me to take all of that stuff so I won't know which of them kept me from getting sick. I really don't need to be sick now, during tax season. The crunch is on.

Ooh, thank you for reminding me. I completely forgot about garlic. Do you remember if it can be cooked? Or does it have to be raw? And some onion wouldn't hurt ;)

AFAIK, it is better raw but it can be cooked you just need more!

That was what I figured. I fried mushrooms and threw in two cloves of chopped garlic for the last 30 seconds. Yummm, 'shrooms on toast.
