Dealing with a cold

[jaded]

I daily take things that boost the immune system and I don't think I've had a cold/flu in well over a decade and have great health. Things like ginger/garlic/msm (no not main stream media...the sulfur based supplement)/turmeric/vitamin E and an overall high quality diet and regular exercise (both cardio and resistance) really work. Also...if you have a gym membership with a sauna or steam room avoid it because people with the flu tend to use it and warm moist places are the ideal environment to incubate bacteria. They are breeding grounds for colds and flu's. At this stage...for the most part since you already have the cold it pretty much has to run it's course. You might shorten it by a day or two but that's about it.

Lemon tea usually works for me



Lots of orange juice. If you can manage a hot shower go for it.

Not to get tipsy but seriously, it works.

Hot tea with lemon & honey, garlic and a few days of rest and you'll be good as new.

Thanks a lot. Will try this. Have done lemon and honey before without the garlic

You can get lozenges with Vitamin C and zinc and elderberry.Vitamin A is good too.

At the first sign of cold or flu, the homeopathic remedy Oscillococcinum is great. But have to take it at the first indication you're coming down with a bug.

For now, get those lozenges.

Had never heard of oscillococcium before. Need to research on it. Thanks.

I eat cloves of garlic when I feel a cold coming on & it KOs it 99/100. I actually was busy as f#ck recently & was forgetting to buy some garlic & was sick for a day. Got garlic & KOd that sh^t right outta there although I did have some nasty looking snot for a few days that was not ideal.

Thanks. I have a lot of garlic and seems like it’s highly recommended

Not sure we have this where I live. It’s possible it’s sold under a different name. Thanks a lot for the information. Will check it out

Get a styrofoam cup fill it with codeine and Sprite and a jolly rancher for flavor.

I do have codeine. Never really stock sprite but I’m gonna get it. I hope I don’t get knocked out for a week.
