Can kimchi cure my cold?

1. Kimchi eliminates cholesterol
"Selenium from the garlic works to scoop cholesterol off of arterial walls. Allicin from the garlic works with the onions to raise the levels of HDL transport molecules which carry the cholesterol down to the gall bladder. The high levels of Vitamin C are used to convert the cholesterol to disposable substances. And the glutathione peroxidase made from the garlic along with the phytochemicals from the fruit and vegetables all work to magnify Vitamin C's availability. If there is a single-food defence to heart ailments, kimchi has to be it!"

2. Kimchi promotes intestinal health
"Kimchi also works to clean out your system by feeding the lactobacteria and bifidobacteria that live in your intestines. These are the “friendly bacteria” that we need to be healthy. Kimchi nourishes them so they can thrive and outnumber the “unfriendly bacteria” that threaten our health from the inside. The bifidobacteria that are responsible for producing many of the B-vitamins we need, including the B-12 that is so frequently missing from vegetarian diets. Since the body cannot produce these vitamins for itself, these bacteria are essential for our health. The lactobacteria prevent flatulence and keep sticky, sludge-like waste matter from accumulating in the intestinal tract, adhering to the intestinal walls, and interfering with nutrient absorption."

3. Kimchi makes you lose weight
From what I remember at the Kimchi museum the same lactobactilli that's in Yogurt (which helps you lose weight) is in Kimchi.

I went to the Kimchi Museum a couple of weekends ago and made 2.2 pounds (1kg) of Kimchi.
We even got cute little totes!


Anyways, I have a cold now. I also have about a pound left of Kimchi. I am going to eat Kimchi everyday in hopes that Kimchi is the cure to the common cold. I mean, I have been told it prevents Cancer... so hey maybe it will get me better too!
