I asked my faithful readers for their input on this perplexing issue - remember, my main gripe was finding one of these that enabled me to function in the real world when sick - as all of their advertising promises.
Well, this week I received this homemade natural remedy from a long-time reader - let's call her 'Aunty Vicky'. It came via email so I thought I should share it in this post - as swine flu is looming.
So here it is - Vicky is in blue I am in red:
My suggestion is two to three lemons with manuka honey (only manuka as that has the healing stuff in it lol) in hot water....
Sounds great so far - a real earth mother is our Aunty Vicky, her Mum would approve I am sure.
With a damn decent slug of whisky...
OK, not so earth mothery, but I guess we are still dealing with naturally occuring products here - lets read on....
slug down 2 paracetamols and 2 neurophens (sic) with cold water beforehand, then sip the lemon, honey and whiskey hot drink...
Sheesh - I'm pretty sure that's only one narcotic short of the cocktail that killed River Phoenix, Janis Joplin & Heath Ledger......
I guarantee you will feel lovely in about 20 mins:)
I guarantee that I will feel NOTHING in about 20 minutes!
Apparently Auntie Vicky studied (and partied) hard at the Keith Richards school of naturopathy back in the early 90's - I can't see myself picking the kids up from daycare on that 'remedy'!
The search continues....:)
