Rapid responses are electronic comments to the editor. They enable our users to debate issues raised in articles published on bmj.com. A rapid response is first posted online. If you need the URL (web address) of an individual response, simply click on the response headline and copy the URL from the browser window. A proportion of responses will, after editing, be published online and in the print journal as letters, which are indexed in PubMed. Rapid responses are not indexed in PubMed and they are not journal articles. The BMJ reserves the right to remove responses which are being wilfully misrepresented as published articles.
Our NICE is reportedly advising traditional remedies. Dr Mann’s suggestion is in line.
One little difficulty: no one has yet carried out a Randomised Controlled Trial.
May I suggest that this year, Public Health England carries out an RCT, with one group being injected with the Flu Vaccine and another group sticking to Dr Mann’s Remedy?
Surely, surely the epidemiologists will jump at the opportunity! And the government will save money.
Awaiting comments, criticisms. But there will be none. Silence will reign.
We live in the post-antibiotic era of superbugs and superinfections. In my experience, both often respond to organic, fresh-squeezed lemon or lime juice. Both lemons and limes are excellent sources of Vitamin C, and both are natural antibiotics and antiviral agents. I recommend 1/4 tsp of lemon or lime juice in a large glass of water 3 times a day for 1-2 weeks. To quote Hippocrates, "Let food be your medicine."
