Well I managed to go all winter without a cold and now that it is summer what do I get? A lousy cold. I am feeling a bit better. I am popping vitamin C and oregano oil, drinking lots of green tea, although Dr. Klietz recommended ginger tea and I made some homemade chicken soup last night. Here is the recipe Dr. Klietz recommended.
fresh Chicken that is hormone and anitbiotic(if you want those things just go to your doctor) free
(remove skin)
Place in sauce pan
Add water
1 or more large onions sliced
2 inches of fresh ginger peeled and grated
5 cloves of fresh garlic minced
chives chopped
as much black pepper as you can stand
simmer until chicken is done
eat with rice
The black pepper breaks up the mucus.
I don't eat black pepper as a rule, so it takes a bit of getting used to, but the ginger adds a nice fresh taste.
So if you ever find yourself with a cold or sinus problems try this chicken soup for the cold remedy.

The soup sounds good; although I cannot tolerate much black pepper. Hope it helps. A summer cold is no fun. I never heard of oregano oil. Ginger tea feels good on the throat. Orange juice does too. Don't forget the Vicks!!!
Thanks for sharing Margaret. This sounds good. Your cold doesn't. I hope you feel better soon.
