I hate taking this stuff, but the bottle is nearly gone, and I think it might be getting a little easier to take. After reading about it, I kicked bronchitis without antibiotics. In the past I have always had to take antibiotics to clear up bronchitis. I work around kids all day, and we went through a week or so where many many kids were sick, in the hall, at their desks, some of the teachers caught what the kids had. I take some every day and have been fine. 2 or 3 teaspoons diluted in a glass of water. A dash or two of ginger helps to offest some of the bitter, sour taste. I tried this on a subway sandwich instead of having them put their vinegar on it. Not the same taste. Won't do that again.
