this is a perfectly-well documented old-wives remedy for things like colds and flu, but could work for other things when toxicity and inflammation is involved. I have tried it myself, but only once, so didn't notice anything. But I Don't doubt it's usefulness.

sbadd and Noelnoel , this post is five years old! The article probably doesn't exist anymore! But, I found this, if you're interested:
