KVA (Keep Viruses Away) Garlic Immune Herbal Formula Extract

This is an herbal cold and flu remedy.   My all-time personal favorite formula for health and wellness. A must for the herbal medicine cabinet.  I have successfully used this when I go out of country, been around sick people, or in stressful situations.  If I feel like I am coming down with a cold, I will take this every hour until I retire to bed.  Most of the time, I am better the next day. I then will take it two or three times a day to build up my immune system.  If I do catch a cold, it is never bad enough to keep me down, and I always recuperate quickly.  I will add my formula, Cough Sore Throat if I end up having a cough.  I do have to say that this formula does not taste good, but it works so so well.  And it is Alcohol-free! Inspired by Dr. John R. Christopher when he was at a seminar in Snowflake, Arizona to ward off Bubonic Plague.  Although there are a couple of herbs that are different because of being on the FDA list, it is still made per Dr. Christopher's instructions.
