Insurance can be expensive, deductibles can be expensive, or coverage just might not be there. However, exercising some preventive maintenance in your body can go a long way and will save you money. Today's money saver is cinnamon.
Centuries before cinnamon was deliciously added to your French toast, witch doctors and medicine men were using cinnamon to cure common ailments of today that then, were very deadly. The common cold was one of those ailments. They used cinnamon as a method to rid the body of the cold and found that if the entire village was taking it, the cold didn't spread.
