To the layman it looks kind of plausible. but will it stand up to closer scrutiny as a help against this virus . any one any idea. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piebob Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 Please bear in mind that the Chinese also believe that rhino horn will give them stonking erections, and various other rare animal bits will work similar wonders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vitamin C helps with avoiding colds too. It won't guarantee to stop a cold, but it might lessen the severity. It's not a cure. A good balanced diet with plenty of fruit and veg will help too. Another thing that is worth doing if you can manage is to keep your alcohol consumption to reasonable levels as excess alcohol can depress your immune system. Difficult when we are all going stir crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wishy735 Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 I use to watch a doctor called House, he ever had his own TV series and he was amazing.

Optimum is 70%. Pickling yourself internally with alcohol just lowers your bodies immune system and makes you more vulnerable. Nice thought though. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice thought though. 👍 I am prepared to take one for the team, I also have the antidote....ginger brandy! bottle of Aldi brandy jar of stem ginger chop up, bung in, shake daily. after a week remove ginger, drain and mix with plain chocolate. 10 bars is enough drink Brandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
