I'm a diabetic and cant use most all thats on the market...

I'll give you a homemade cough remedy it tastes awful but I swear to you it works. It helps by breaking up the mucus in your lungs.Chop one med. onion, one clove of garlic and pour one med bottle of honey over it in a bowl, cover the bowl loosely with a towel and let sit over night. The next morning strain threw cheese cloth or a strainer. Take a tablespoonful ever 3-4 hours as needed. It really works!

For me it is small piece of ginger in my tea, or some leaves of ocimum that do the wonder for a cold and cough.Put one pepper (black) in your mouth that also gives relief.

When I have a cold I drink 8 or more glasses of water a day, with one fresh lemon squeezed into each glass of water. I eat a clove of fresh garlic every 2 to 3 hours, around the clock (except when I'm sleeping). I eat fresh raw parsley, a few sprigs every 2 to 3 hours, around the clock. Lemon=vitamin C + other essential nutrients Garlic=antiviral, antibacterial, antioxidant, etc Parsley= vitamin C + minerals + other esential nutrients. Check to make sure these foods are on your diabetic "free foods" list, I think they are.
