This is really an old new england cure for most anything...
Cook a bunch of cut up or tiny carrots just in water, when they are done, serve a cupful of warm carrot broth. You can add what you please to make it taste better if you like, but it is pleasant just plain....
Nobody knows why, but there is something magic in the carrot broth....JP

1000 mg of vitamin C. Every hour, on the hour. Start next time you feel a cold coming on and it'll never have a chance to take hold. And, no, you can't overdose on C. I've been doing this for years! I get a cold maybe 3 times a DECADE!

Beta carotine (? sp) maybe... will have to try to research it.
