We too tried this remedy in Oct and sure enough - we didn't get sick!When I returned I mentioned to my doc what I had done.
She told me that drinking the cordial straight created a lining in your stomach and (because of the sweetness and the high level sugar properties)it created a barrier of sorts for germs.
She also told me that farmers have been known to feed it to cows in europe to stop them getting diseases and dissentry. Apparently the high quantities of sugar kills germs.
I thought she would think I was nuts when I told her but she seemed to think it was a great idea .....
So ... "Moooo" I guess ....it worked for me :-)
