I'm just recovering from the horrible virus discussed on another thread. I'm a veggie and more or less tee total but could be tempted to a wine of something. I think I need building up.

It gets better and better grin Off to buy shares in Gin distillers.

I must let DH see vampirequeen's post as he believes G&T to be the drink of the devil. His poison of choice is red wine which has similar properties but stains your teeth!

Haliborange (sp?) Syrup was the staple tonic when I was growing up. I remember it as being super sweet and therefore yummy.

My husband and I have been taking Spiralina for years and are fit as fiddles. I also take CalMag for me bones and Gingko for my poor old brain.

I agree with Vampire - chocolate is a marvellous food source!

Malt extract with cod liver oil is my pick me up. Either that or Seven Seas multivits for vegetarians

Hi Petra and jinglbellsfrocks - this is the beginning of week 4 for me and I'm beginning to feel better. Not so much coughing and I can feel strength coming back into my poor old body. This is the nastiest virus I've had for a long time.

Hope all sufferers are feeling better. I'm going for the Zinc and Vitamin C option with plenty of chocolate but thinking about it I've gone off chocolate.

speedy recovery - at least the sun is shining.
