'Ello, All!
        Some find this hard to believe until they try it, and it is best done 
as
soon as you feel that tickle in your throat or even everyday if you are
good at daily habits, but this is the best way to cure/prevent colds and
the flu.
        Take a small juice glass or shot glass and put 1/2" to 1" of water in
the bottom.  Sprinkle about 1/8th of a teaspoon of red pepper on top of
the water and down it all like a shot of whiskey.  Then do not drink
anything else for 5 or 10 minutes, to give it time to work.  The longer
you do it [after a few weeks or a month or 2], you can add more pepper as
you get used to it.  If you add too much, it will give you the hiccups,
but that is the only problem with this cure.  Red [cayenne] pepper is a
very strong antibacterial and antiviral.  ["Back to Eden" by Jethro
Kloss]  It also is a great pain reliever as it deplenishes the
neurotransmitter used to transmit pain messages [for cuts or toothaches
or whatever].
