I guess I'm not a vampire

An upper-respiratory illness has made its way through our family over the last two weeks.  It started with Brooklyn, then me, then Jack, then Jeremy.  Each of us was down and out for a few days before making a recovery.  Except me.  Mine eventually turned into a delightful sinus infection that felt like my face was being crushed.  I usually try to avoid taking antibiotics if at all possible, but I would have gladly taken a prescription for this beast....had it not hit me over the 4th of July weekend.  To get through the weekend, I turned to natural remedies.

I started with a Neti-Pot, which, after just a few times of using, cleared out my nasal passages and allowed me to breathe again.

Then to really knock this bad boy out, I've been eating raw garlic purchased fresh from our local farmers market.  By the way, have you ever chewed a clove of raw garlic before?  I dare you.  Or you can just watch this:




After using these home remedies, I haven't even had to go the doctor because I feel great!  I can breathe, I don't have pain, and I smell like an Italian entrée.  I'm living the dream!
