Sick as in gross

You know whats sick Echinacea its the worst thing in the world...I have been takin it since friday and its so gross. You drink it and as it goes down it burns man its gross. You know what else is bad the vitamins I have been taking they are grape flavor and they are sour and not good. I am taking these items because of a lovely friend of mine one who is concerned about my health...man I am happy I have her as a friend but they could have made this stuff taste better. I just felt like I needed to tell the world about this sick stuff...I was bored of serouis blogs I had to tell you about somethin gross. Everytime I take them I cringe in fear because I know what its goin to taste like. The worst part is the smell of the echincea it smells like it tastes and thats not good. Well I dunno what they are supposed to do cause all this week I have felt sicker then ever so yeah I dunno...well I am out...just remember what is good for you isnt always fun.

Mmmmmmm grossss. Who doesn't love gross.

But seriously now, if I were you i'd be switching to the pill form Echinewhatever and vitamens that you just swallow not chew.

Maybe they are not as effective, but they wouldn't taste like burning poopy going down your throat. :)

Peace

sorry folks, but it's now been officially proven by real scientist that echinatia does not help prevent illness, boost your immune system, or quicken the healing process.

unless you drink the tea form, when you have a cold or somthing, but then it's just the normal soothingness of a hot drink, not the echinatia itself.

please dont make me find the actual artical about it... it was a big study done though.. big enough that they have stopped giving echinatia at our nursing home.

but everyone take your daily vitamins.. and women take your calcium! By the time your 25 or 30 or somthing like that, you will have obsorbed all the calcium your body will store for your liftime. After that it just uses what you injest, but it wont store it anymore... think of your health!!!

hehe.. ok, i'm done my crazy rantings now.

oh... drink green tea.. yum AND good for you.

lol.... actually Jules the ecanitia is for your throught not for coughs and cold... even though i have seen studies where it has helped and could refind it if you so please! As for the green tea... for it to have any effect you have to drink a retarded amount each day for it to be effective! The grape is my favorite kind! And Nikki you are taking the liquid and chew kind because they absorb better! I know they are nasty but i am proud of you for taking them! Oh... and the ecanitia would work better if you held it at the back of your throught b4 swallowing! Love ya! Be blessed!

Don't you hate being sick! As for the ecenachia (sp?), who cares if it 'medically' works or not. I take it, I feel better. That's all the proof Derek needs.

Of course that same logic also lead me to beleive that the easter bunny Bugs Bunny's brother.

And thats you're randomness fix for today!
