I think all the garlic and shallots (scallions) I have eaten today have definitely made a big improvement to my health.
I had a spicy soup earlier in which I added two fresh garlic that I cut up finely after I served it. I also added some of the white bits of the shallots, cut up finely. I tell you what, it certainly made me feel really hot. The heat from the spices, garlic, shallots and the warmth of the soup certainly made me feel like my fever got quite worse and I really did feel very lethargic and over-heated, quite feverish.
A few hours later, I had some vegetarian curry on quinoa, which I added some cut up shallot leaves (the green parts) and three cloves of finely cut up garlic on top to give it more heat and to help my immune system deal more effectively with this viral infection I seem to have. I did feel quite hot and a bit lethargic after the curry, but nowhere near as hot as I felt earlier with the soup, so obviously something is working!
Several hours later (now) and I am not feeling lethargic (like last night or earlier today) and while I am a little bit warm, I am not feeling that hot. So all of those cloves of garlic, the spices and shallots (maybe about 3-4 of them) in a short space of time, really must have taken effect in boosting my immune system to help it fight the virus, as it is no longer making me hot (feverish).
Just now I went to my Facebook page, where I saw a lot of those cute "gifts" people send you, which definitely made me feel even better to know I had been sent such lovely energy from people. And while I know those Facebook gifts are applications made by people to make money, it's really the thought that counts from the person who sent it to me and they were being really sweet. It just made me feel less alone and less lonely. It was really nice to see.
If I try to go to be earlier tonight, it may be useful for me as it will help my body heal itself.
I have the cat sleeping on my bed and he is just gorgeous. He'll let me know when he needs to get up (which will be some very early hour of the morning I am sure). He is such a sweet, loving cat. At least he is the one positive, sweet, loving thing in this negative house!
