Is powdered ginger gonna give me the same kick, do you think?
Yes, it may be a little less powerful than fresh ginger, but should still work. Just make sure you add some kind of sweetener so you can get it down.

Ginger has a sort of a burning flavor and is very strong, which is probably why it is so effective at building up the immune system, as it probably just destroys any kind of germs that get in its way.

The only side effect I've ever experienced from ginger was a while back when I was putting some really large pieces in my juices, I developed sort of rash on the top of some of my fingers. It took me forever to figure out what was causing it, but I finally traced it to the ginger. I guess it was producing so much heat in my body that it was causing a heat rash on my fingers. Powerful stuff, that ginger.
