Amazing Cure for the Common Cold

Oh how I hate winter. And this winter has, so far, been one of the worst in recent memory. It has been colder, snowier and longer than a lot of winters we have had recently.

I just wish all those bureaucrats who fly off to exotic places to discuss remedies for "Global Warming" would spend six months dressed in parka and mukluks, shovelling driveways in southern Ontario.

Viruses love winter though. The peak of seasonal misery for humans seems to coincide with a heyday for the malicious micro-organisms. A few million of them seem to be occupying my bloodstream at the moment. I am sick. Not sick enough to stay home in bed, just weak with the symptoms of a heavy cold.

Fortunately, I have found a remedy that seems to make me feel better. The wannabe Cockneys on Merseyside who produce excellent teas and herbal beverages under the "London Fruit & Herb" brand make a product called "Green Tea & Blackcurrant".

Green Tea was known to the ancients (so they tell me) as a cure for just about everything. Blackcurrants are known to every British mum as a rich source of vitamin C. This tea is also naturally high in antioxidants which means that, if you drink it, you won't rust.

Anyway, I have been drinking a lot of the stuff. Those nasty little bugs that are swimming around inside me don't like it at all I can tell you. So maybe it won't cure the common cold but it will make life a living hell for the cold virus while easing your symptoms.

Of course, you could always wait for global warming to make life on the planet uninhabitable for viruses that thrive in the winter.
