Sunraysia (sorry, think I have gotten it wrong - the name), did what everyone apparently does (take a shot each morning).. he did, I didn't. I don't know why he decided to do it, we never do anything and have never (touching wood) gotten sick before.
Anyhow, he was soooo sick. He lost a lot of weight in a week. He was vomiting, he had diahhrea, his skin was the colour green, he couldn't get out of bed.... ended up calling in a DR, as he couldn't move and he had a parasite in his stomach and was put onto medication. It took him a good couple of weeks to get over it, luckily we were there for 3 weeks and it happened in the middle of it all.
It wasn't much fun. The cordial didn't work - think it's all in the mind really. Anyway, this year, he will go back to using nothing, like normal.
Hope this helps.
