This is a deadly experiment on our children and it must be stopped. Samantha is still having practically daily migraines.

I will usually take green tea when I feel like I am getting a cold, or if I have a cold, and it usually makes me feel better. From experience, I would recommend having it on an empty stomach, because it makes me nauseous.
