I don’t often wax lyrical about “healthcare” products, but a recent experience has left me so unhinged, I just had to put fingers to keyboard. The facts are these. About three weeks ago, I contracted a spiteful bug that laid me low, rendering me Camille-like, tossing and turning with fever on bed and couch. Two days later, the fever had gone but so had my voice, and a host of aches and pains had rushed in to fill the void, plus eruptions of coughing violent enough to put an active Vesuvius to shame. With just over a week to go before delivering a lecture, I was in panic.
Friend, I tried
everything, hot drinks, saltwater gargles, Vitamin C and zinc supplements, not to mention munching on as many grapes, apples and antioxidant produce as my compromised lower quarters could bear plus sleeping enough to rival Rip Van Winkle. In addition, I worked my way through a mountain of tissues and a small warehouse-full of painkillers, throat pastilles and cough mixture. With two days to go, my voice was still a croak and I was still busting into fits of Vesuvian coughing. In desperation, I wandered to the nearest Holland and Barrett, and providence – it could
only have been providence – led my quivering fingers to KALOBA pelargonium cough and cold relief. To make a long story short, within twelve hours of beginning the supplement, the coughing subsided, my voice recovered enough to give my talk and just over a week later, I am cough, cold and sniffle free. Not being a trained clinician, I cannot judge the extent to which the vitamins and antioxidants contributed to the cold cure. But I do not believe it a coincidence that my
full recovery began when I began taking the KALOBA. Incidentally, pelargonium is a member of the pink and pretty geranium family, and is used in perfume-making and flavouring a range of foods, as well as medicine. Again, I’m no clinician but if you are trying to get rid of a lingering cough – why not try it? (100 ml retails at £7.99 in Holland and Barrett.)
