Mexican home remedy against the common cold

2 Comments

I’ll share with you my family’s own home remedy against the common cold. Hope it is useful also for you. This recipe is for one person.

Ingredients
1 peeled raw garlic clove
2 tablespoons of honey
3 tablespoons of lime/green lemon juice

Cut the garlic in small pieces (crushing might be better). Mix with honey and lime juice. Drink immediately. Turn face away from loved ones.

Some people I know also have a small shot of tequila added to the mix (or on its own) under the premise “Si no se te quita, se te olvida” (if it doesn’t cure you, it’ll make you forget it).

HIV drug marketing

In London we had a marketing workshop with Beaconbrands, where they showed some examples of advertising campaigns they have done about drugs that are used to treat HIV/AIDS. What really struck me is that they mentioned that HIV patients have to love life, otherwise it would destroy them emotionally as well as physically. I had never thought about it that way. These people must be tough.
