Chew and swallow a raw garlic clove and wash it down with some Emergen C. Or maybe some goldenseal tea?

omg. I love garlic, but I had 2 garlic cloves for good measure, and I'm not sure Case is going to kiss me tonight. I'd read that strep will go away on it's own, but then there is risk of rheumatic fever later. I think it mostly applies to kids though (hopefully). I may not even have strep, but with a trip coming up, I don't want to take a chance!

Garlic should be a staple of every diet. Good stuff. And good for cholesterol. My mom takes a garlic pill supplement.

Too late then (for the vitamins)

:) What I meant to say is that we normally take vitamins, but when we start getting sick we take airborne..etc in addition :D

However, I would like to say that apparently Jinx had the right idea. I ate 2 garlic cloves, drank goldenseal tea. While the side effects of the garlic were interesting, I feel great! I'm pretty sure the garlic burned the sore throat right out of the back of my mouth.
