Mama To Many (Tennessee) on 08/27/2016:
There is a cough/cold going around. My daughter had it and I thought it was allergy and treated it as such and it really hung on for a while. Then my 5 year old son started to cough and I realized that it was probably a virus - I was hearing of others in the neighborhood with it. The cough was the most irritating at night. I found that 1/2 onion cut up and placed by the pillow usually kept the coughing at bay all night. Then I remembered coconut oil works for viruses. I mixed up a fudge for my son and fed it to him 3-4 times a day. It was easy to get him to take and I could tell a big difference in 24 hours. I am taking the fudge too since it has blackstrap molasses and coconut oil in it. I try to take those things often and this is a delicious way to take it. I notice that it seems to have completely eliminated sugar cravings for me.
Antiviral Fudge Recipe
- 1/2 cup extra virgin coconut oil (soft)
- 1/2 cup blackstrap molasses
- 1/4 cup peanut butter (I am sure almond butter would be excellent)
- 2 T. raw cacao powder
Mix together. Lightly sprinkle the top with Celtic sea salt (or Himalayan pink.)
Pour/Spread into an 8x8 pan lined with wax paper.
Refrigerate for an hour. Cut into 24 squares. Each square has about 1 teaspoon of coconut oil in it, which is the amount I want in one dose for my child.
Enjoy!
