One thing needs to be said. Don't give people medical advice on City-Data. That's always a bad idea. Somebody might take the advice and have a bad outcome. People deal with their rabbis as they understand they need to. Don't try to push your understanding onto people who may understand that relationship in a different way from the way you understand it. If you want to say how you understand it, say it is how you understand it, or how your rabbi does things.

As always, thanks for your excellent moderation. I couldn’t agree with you any more. G-d forbid anyone here should give medical advice. Of course being a Judaism forum, I’m sure we all can agree discussing what a Rabbi might say on any particular subject is in bounds.

Not only should people not be giving medical advice on this forum that is best left to a qualified physician, no one should be telling others to ignore their physician's advice. What one chooses for oneself is one thing. Don't insist to others that they are in spiritual danger for obeying their doctor. Others may belong to Jewish communities (such as Chabad/Lubavitch) that interpret things differently from you.
The above wasn't directed at you, Richard.
@mensaguy: Thanks for your previous post.

For the uninitiated, guggla muggla (or guggle muggle, if you must) is a Jewish cold-fighting concoction of mysterious origins and disputed pronunciations and ingredients. Depending on your Bubbe, it might have been made with milk, sugar, and egg; milk and honey; or, for the unlucky, milk, tea, and schmaltz (chicken fat). My grandma made her “guggla muggla” with warm milk, honey, and vanilla. My husband’s grandma made her “guggle muggle” with egg, sugar, and milk. Hence the disagreement.
Why would it be considered a "Jewish cold-fighting concoction" and have one version have meat and milk together?
Where does this come from as related to Jews?
You noticed that "milk and schmaltz" recipe. Yep, sounds spurious, all right.
My personal recipe for guggle muggle is chamomile tea, milk, and a shot of Southern Comfort. Probably not kosher either, certainly not Jewish, and I doubt it has any real effect as a cold remedy. But it makes me not care that I'm sick.
