A Russian guy that lives in my hometown claims he hasn't had a cold in
25 years. He firmly believes in preventative medicine, so each morning
he takes a raw clove of garlic and mixes it with a shot of vodka and
downs it. He's close to 90 years old and can run like you wouldn't
believe.

Maybe we're drinking the wrong substance for health. heh.
