Given the cold weather, a lot of people are around sick people and getting sick. Here's a quickie from Natasha, the "witch doctor"! The moment you start feeling like something is coming on, drink a cup of black coffee immediately followed by two large glasses of warm water. Take zinc and vitamin C supplements through the day and continue with the water. That should kick that virus right out of your system! </p><p>Fresh ginger works amazing as well. Drink ginger tea, eat it raw, have it with food! Try it out and tell me how it goes! </p><p>Until next time, have a wondrous day!</p><p>xoxo</p><p>Natasha</p><p> </p><p> </p>
