Mariane's Super Flu Chicken Soup Recipe
Submitted by Mariane Maffeo-Muriel of MAFFEO MEDIA As a long time list member and a Mom dealing with this horrible flu season, I am sending out this recipe for Chicken Soup which, in our family, appears to have healthful benefits. I have been scouring the Internet to find out how to combat this "Fujian" Flu bug. I have also been giving olive oil massages (http://www.alphazee.com/olive-leaf/olea.html), lots of bottled water, Vitamin C (at least 5,000 mg daily), Zinc lozenges (good prices and selection available at Trader Joe's) and boiling Thyme, Rosemary and/or Euclyptus on the stove to hydrate the air. Adequate hydration is critical to us, especially in Arizona. Disclaimer: I am not a health care practitioner. Consult your physician for medical care. I have no business or financial interest in any of the sites listed. Mariane's Super Flu Chicken Soup I made this yesterday for my nine-year-old daughter who has the flu. She felt better immediately and the flu appears to have gone through her system in about 36 hours. I have been treating myself and only had one half day in bed, with very minor symptoms, but this flu appears to really want to hang on. I have appended my original recipe with links to sites with information on natural healing. Again, I am not a health practitioner. I am a Mom dealing with a very bad flu season. This recipe takes less than 15 minutes to prepare. (Use natural and organic ingredients as available) Saute in 1 tbl. olive oil (medium low heat) in soup pot: ˝ c. diced onions 1 clove garlic (crushed or sliced) 1-2 tbs.
