Vampires? I do not believe in the existence of vampires. However I do wear the garlic necklace to ward off flu viruses. I have bracelets as well. The unprotected look at me funny.

Yes, but you can inwardly giggle, because you know...

Have you had flu since adopting this witch doctor remedy?

If you don't slice up a chicken liver and put a bone in your nose...the garlic won't help.

Exactly. I've tried telling them but they just back away and quickly disappear every time.

So you are going for the placebo effect of garlic?

No. I only use fresh garlic, lightly crushed. There is nothing placebo about the power of freshly crushed garlic around ones neck and wrists to ward off standers-by and their confounded airborne assaults, I think I'm getting the viruses from touching doorknobs and such.

Honestly though, I've not had a flu in quite some time. Now if I could just figure out what I've been doing right I can continue doing it. lol

Flu bugs can't survive in fermented grape juice.

Too much trouble to ferment grape juice.
So buy wine...all done for you.
Eat a garlic bulb and wash it down with wine.
Hell, even vampires will leave you alone then.

I haven't been making that, I've switched back to SunDrop. I was getting too drunk and posting too much.

And of course the next question if everyone wasn't sound asleep on their keyboards would be; fermented SunDrop?, to which I would reply; no. It can be done but I suspect that it would be some pretty nasty stuff. lol

Wonder if the sales of garlic pills have increased tremendously?

Googled Sundrop since I'd never heard of it. Looks like Mountain Dew.

Yeah it's similar, but I think SD both tastes and quenches thirst better than MD.
