A RETIRED pub landlady hours from death made a “miracle recovery” — after drinking pints of Guinness mixed with raw eggs.
Maggie Ives, 78, was in a nursing home for end-of-life care with chronic kidney and cardiovascular disease.
Her family were warned she would not survive the night.
But the life-time smoker battled back after sinking the concoction from an old favourite recipe of hers.
Maggie, who also has Parkinson’s disease, said: “I'm a medical miracle. I feel like I've come back from the dead.
“My brother and a sister were told to contact an undertaker.
“I had 133 different antibiotics by drip. I didn't even know where I was.”
After somehow making it through the night, she asked nurses to fix her a pint of her favourite tipple when she woke up.
She added: “I asked if I could try an old recipe of mine when I used to feel rough years ago — Guinness and eggs
“Since drinking my little remedy every day, sometimes more than once, I've never felt better.”
