It seems as though a lot of people are
sick lately. I have a few tips that will help reduce the discomfort. Many
illnesses come about when the lining of the nose and throat dry out. When heat
is cranked up, like it has been lately, the air lacks humidity, the orifices
dry out, and germs enter in. The way to help prevent and heal colds is to set a
pan of water or a wet bath towel (hung over a plastic coat hanger) near the
source of heat. (You will see how quickly the water evaporates or the towel
dries when the heat is on.) Drink plenty of clear fluids to keep mucus thin and
to ease chest congestion and sinus pressure. Drink a cup of tea with a little
lemon and honey or add a mentholated cough drop to it, and then breathe in the
steam while you sip it. Add garlic to soups and other foods. Louis Pasteur
proved that garlic has healing properties because it kills germs. For more
