Dan has been suffering from a terrible cold and sour throat which I am trying to avoid. So far the following has worked. Any one have any other suggestions?? Dan received lots of homemade chicken soup with vegetables topped with generous dollops of hot sauce, at 4 hour intervals. I opted for the New England cure. Hot cider with lots of RUM in it. So far, Dan is much better. And, even better, I never got the cold and am in good humor considering the sick husband.... Any comments?? Winter is coming too soon in New England - Helen Gillis
