great recipe for sore throats and chest colds

.....makes about 2 cups...

1. Two lemons thoroughly cleaned and sliced
2. Two piece of ginger about the size of your pointer and middle finger together sliced into coin size pieces
3. Honey (about 1 cup-maybe more)

Close jar and put it in the fridge, it will form into a "jelly". To serve: Spoon jelly into mug and pour boiling water over it.
Store in fridge 2-3 months.

 

Blueberries...: Many of the major diseases are caused or developed by chronic inflammation. Inflammation promotes free radicals, which lead to dangerous oxidation, cell damage, and cancer. The more these free radicals thrive, the more they multiply. The flavonoids in berries, which are part of a family compound called polyphenols, are what make berries so healthy. Polyphenols promote “the expression”of genes that reduce inflammation and also promote the body’s antioxidant system.

2. Pineapple: New research shows that the bromelain in pineapples helps with cancer treatment. According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, “Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme, which can be helpful in treating cancer because it helps restore balance to your immune system, among other cancer-fighting benefits.”
