*A young teenage girl tosses and turns in bed. There is a persistant tickle in her throat and she is coughing*
Girl: *gets out of bed and goes upstairs*
Girl's mother: "What's wrong?"
Girl: "I think I might have a cough."
Girl's mother: "Well take something for it."
Girl's father: "Here." *gets down goldenseal extract, colloidal silver, echinacea capsules, and a glass of water*
Girl: "Ok."
Girl: *swallows echinacea and colloidal silver without incident*
Girl: *fills glass a quarter of the way full with water and prepares it with 15 drops goldenseal extract*
Girl: *sniffs the glass and makes a face*
Girl: *stirs in a good deal of honey*
Girl: *is about to swallow it, when she changes her mind and gets an ice cube, which she procedes to suck on for several minutes*
Girl: *holds up the glass* "Wish me luck."
Girl: *gulp. GAG! CHOKE! SPUTTER! HACK! GAG!* "ew" *HACK! HACK! COUGH!* "nasty." *SPUTTER! RINSE MOUTH! GARGLE! SPIT! GAG! POUND CHEST!* "Wow, that is intense." *HACK! HACK! SPIT!*
Girl: "I feel better now."
Girl: *goes back to bed*
*next morning, repeat scene*

Goldenseal is NASTY. I always say, "If it doesn't kill you, it will cure you." One way or the other you will feel better.
Is this based on your own recent experience, I presume?
