Hello Samuel. I enjoyed reading your post. We have made fire cider a few times and I really love it. We also make kombucha. I haven't gotten into all the herbal remedies. However, today I learned in the Daily Mail curcemin, an ingredient in tumeric helped a women recover from a cancer (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-5230201/Pensioner-used-turmeric-fight-blood-cancer.html). I am new here as well. So, I hope I referenced that information correctly. Anyhow, great work. The flu has just hit some of my co-workers. So, your information is timely.
