Cold and Flu-T
2 tsp fresh thyme or 1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp chopped fresh lemon balm or 1/2 tsp dried lemon balm
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp ground echinacea or astragalus
1/2 tsp finely grated gingerroot or 1/4 tsp ground
1/2 tsp chopped dried licorice or 1/4 tsp powdered licorice (see Caution)
4 cups boiling water
1. In a non-reactive teapot, combine thyme, lemon balm, garlic, echinacea, ginger and licorice. Cover with boiling water and steep for 15 minutes. Strain into a clean jar, cover with a lid. Store in refrigerator for up to 2 days. Drink 1/2 to 1 cup four times per day.
Powerfully antibiotic and antiviral, this tea fights colds and flu. Garlic is one of the key ingredients in this blend and it must be taken fresh because the powdered form has little medicinal value. For this reason, make up in small quantities and use when cold and flu symptoms first appear.
**Caution: Do not use licorice if you have high blood pressure.**

I have not read this book but must say the response to Dorothy's review provided proof you can't believe everything you read as well as some very droll comic relief!
When it comes to dishing out medical advise please have your facts straight or at least a few degrees behind your name to back you up.

Not only does cheese NOT "eat" uric acid, it contains moderately high purine levels. Also great job submitting the same review multiple times. Hope your health has improved and congrats on being a doctor and all.

I am very sorry I wasted my $. If you have uric acid kidney stones the advice in this book may be lethal. It says to minimize dairy. My MD advised me to eliminate cheese from my diet and within 2 weeks I was in the ER on an oper. slab because every 3 days my body was forming kidney stones large enough for the OR. I researched uric acid and CHEESE EATS URIC ACID. I went back on Cheese and my kidney stones disappeared. I would be dead now except for the advice I took from my own research. Also the best remedy for a lack of iron is Guinness Stout. The best remedy for low calcium is spinach and goat milk. Red wine is best for tubbys and for antioxidents. Alcohol dilates the blood vessels so it's used by heart patients. BE SURE TO CHECK WITH YOUR PHARMACIST & DOCTOR BEFORE USING ANY REMEDY because you may have other issues.
