This is great advice! I also wanted to point out my recent success in chasing out a severe sore throat and cough. My entire family had come down with this over the course of a week. I was shocked it had not hit me yet. Everyone was miserable. When I finally felt that soreness when I swallowed, I knew it was really to take over me.
I immediately crushed two cloves of fresh garlic and swallowed them. I then made one cup of tea and put a full dropperful of Schulze's Echinacea Plus and one full dropperful of his Super Tonic. I did this twice per day for three days. My throat never got any worse and by day three it was completely gone. For once, I suffered less than anyone in my family!
