Cured

I'm not a big herbal remedy person, but I have come to believe in grapefruit seed extract. On several occasions it has chased off or shortened the duration of my cold symptoms. You squeeze 5+ drops into a beverage and drink it up to 3 times a day (it's crazy bitter, so putting it in juice or milk is a good idea). You can do this every day for good measure, but I just drink it when I think I'm getting sick. It's available online (try vitacost.com) or I got my current bottle at Whole Foods. Big thanks to my mom for introducing it to me!
