Mushroom supplements for immune health

I'm nothing if not a skeptic BUT I used to get sick like once a month. I've gotten a cold only once in 3 YEARS while taking these. whenever I stop for a while I notice a difference. Got these from a rec from the chef Samin Nosrat. The bottle says to take a crazy amount every day but they're not cheap so I do one a day unless I'm traveling or feel under the weather.

Nothing works wonders quite like the elderberry, ginger, TURMERIC trinity

had a famously awful immune system when i worked around kids for years. took a while of trial and error before i learned what works best. other than general hygienic habits paired with optimal sleep and hydration, elderberry-ginger-turmeric are my best friends. i never found echinacea or vitamin c supplements to be very much help. here’s some small ways to incorporate them into your day to day: -a cup of elderberry tea everyday as a preventative measure (rishi makes an elderberry-ginger one but it’s very strong, just a heads up. most if these things will be, sorry.) -ginger shots. i make my own to save money as it’s fairly easy. orange juice, tumeric, pepper and sometimes manuka honey. -ginger-tumeric chai for the warm months, a cold ginger green tea or elderberry hibiscus in the cooler months -instead of tea, elderberry syrup. something that can be made with dried elderberry, but to be honest it’s easier to buy. outside of preventative measures, when i feel something coming on, i will down like 5-6 cups a day of one of/or a combination of these herbal teas (i usually do like 4-5 cups elderberry tea and maybe 1-2 cups of a ginger based tea). it’s very excessive yes and it’s not the most fun but it has cleared me up 9 out of 10 times. but even if it doesn’t, it still lessens the severity and time of symptoms.

Splitting the G

go to the bar, get a draft guinness in a branded pint glass and drink to the middle line of the “G” in 3 sips. if you miss the line, you can get another one and try again. If you get it dead on you can celebrate by getting another one. -Corey

Nosferatu the Vampyre, 1979 by Werner Herzog

This movie is so incredible, klaus kinski is both horrifying and unintentionally hilarious. His dumb little teeth, the scene where he runs through the town at night in such an insane way and every time he’s in the shadows creeping around. Amazing performance, I don’t know if that kid from skins has what it takes to top kinski but we’ll see. -Rivka
