The 7 day courses of B12 shots are pretty amazing. Immune boosters and give you loads of energy. Also super fruit juices containing Acai are really good as well.

Sorry to clarify, I don't mean the injections. You get tablets of B12 - they are pure immune boosters.

As i mentioned, instead of getting pure vit tabs which is also effective, the existing herbal remedies are also effective, minus the associated side effects

+2 :mrgreen:

Because green tea has the highest concentration of natural antioxidants (stuff that prevents all kinds of bad things happening to cells)

BUT I like the pure powder from Herbalife - you can't get it here unfortunately, so I have to get friends to bring it from Thailand.

You know White tea has about 100 times more antioxidant properties than Green Tea?

I love the chai with all the spices. Once you have had homemade/properly made chai nothing compares to it. Yum...

Ah ! Reminds me of Shankar, our base incharge. He would put in a kettle on the morning with some of his secret spices and it would keep goin until late evening. Ginger, cardamon, cinnamon and someother stuff. Was to die for !

Many of us would drop by even on days when we didn't have work just for the chai, he would always pretend he got buggered by al of us dropping by and force him to make tea ! But in the end he would give in and put the kettle on.

Made the best hommus and lamp chops too.....sigh ! The good old days.

Chai the word means tea in the indian language , :mrgreen: , "Chai" isnt a type of tea, it is tea itself

I'm always thinking of it as spicy tea. Didn't pay attention to the linguistic aspect. Sorry :P
