Juicing to Beat the Common Cold

Uggh, Tuesday was one of those days when a coworker came to work sick.  She said she was getting a sore throat and felt feverish.  Meanwhile, I was trapped in a small office breathing in her germs (we sit 5 to a room).

And, sure enough, the next day I felt a scratchy throat creeping up on me.  The first thought to pop into my mind--I need to juice!  On the way home from work, I picked up a few essentials and got right to juicing.  

I know this sounds like a hokey infomercial for juicers, but the juice worked.  The next morning, I woke up sore throat free.  My coworker, on the other hand, has called in sick for the past two days.
