I have bourbon weekly and PBR daily. NO FLU! Better living through chemistry...
I also eat a lot of garlic and onions....

While cooked garlic is good, for its benefits to be most effective you want it uncooked, raw, crushed and organic. Allicin is the compound you are after in garlic
I’ll preface this by saying I am not an anti-vaxxer, but the flu vaccine this year was terribly ineffective.
A good rule of thumb on how effective a remedy is, is to look at who's promoting it. If it's the woo-woos, quacks,con artists and salesmenwholesome alt-med practitioners, you're probably better off skipping it. At best, it's a waste of money.

You want an easy sippin' and not too expensive bourbon, give Buffalo Trace a try. Woodford Reserve is definitely a keeper for the priceI have been trying different inexpensive bourbons. Last nights pour. Woodford reserve is my fav so far. Whatcha drinking?

The three most dangerous words in medicine are "In my experience..."LOL. Sorry, I strongly disagree with this statement based off my personal experiences.

Humans are really, really good at tricking ourselves into believing something works, even when we don't have people with a vested interest trying to sell us something. Just look at homeopathy - for it to work, just about every science, everything we know, would have to be vastly wrong. Even so, it has its adherents because those people took a homeopathic remedy when afflicted with a self-limiting ailment, got better, and ascribed their recovery to that treatment simply because that's how the human mind works.
Student.So let me guess you are either a doctor or medical student?
And spare me the speech. I’m not disputing science. I just know that medical doctors are better at writing scripts and scheduling follow ups than they are at actually healing.
Student.
Cute ad hominems aside, if you're proposing garlic as a treatment for anything other than cholesterol (and its anticoagulant properties make it dangerous for its low efficacy), you are disputing science. Worse, you're proposing an unproven treatment over proven interventions for a potentially life-threatening illness. Having had a bad experience with a doctor does not magically make the other ideas valid.

> Not proposing it as a treatmentNowhere did I propose it as treatment, back to the lecture hall for reading 101. I stated I’ve been taking it and I’ve had a good cold/flu season thus far and believe it has antiviral and immune boosting properties. I also stated this years vaccine was horribly ineffective, which is accurate. I even stated I am not anti vaxx.
My wife is a medical professional, actually treating patients in a hospital. My entire family has been to more doctors over the last decade than I’d care to remember, had tests, treatments and surgeries. I know more doctors than I’d care to know. My job has me reviewing medical reports and speaking with doctors regularly. I’ve actually lived through and experienced many things within the medical field, you are a kid reciting textbooks.
Old Forester. I like Bullit, too.I have been trying different inexpensive bourbons. Last nights pour. Woodford reserve is my fav so far. Whatcha drinking?
