I have a killer cold. Did nyquil last night and am on sudafed today. anyone got anything better? This is killing me.
I had mixed results with cold eez and Zicam. They work if you start taking them early...otherwise I like Dayquil.
I bought some Zicam but read about it before I took any and saw it had some lawsuits so I will not be taking that crap. I already started the doubling of the VitC Hey LilPun if you are delivering I am trying.
Yeah cold eez has worked for me often, but i always start relatively early on cause I can feel it coming like 4 days ahead of time. Also I know some people have stomach problems if they take it on an empty stomach..just fyi
Personally I have a great remedy to cure your cold, but your going to have to do everything I tell you to make it work. 1. Take Airbourne (it builds your immune system) they sell it at CVS, Walgreens. 2. Mix 2 shots of Jack Daniels, with 3 spoonfuls of Honey, and squirt two whole lemons in it, and add one spoon of Cayanne pepper. Microwave it and make sure it is hot as coffee. 3. Take some Nasil Spray, but do not go over board. Two Days of doing this twice a day, and boom, its gone. Promise!
HYDROGEN PEROXIDE put a couple of drops in your ear (google it). quit wasting money on OTC medication.
This thread is a total train wreck, half of these "remedies" could make you even more sick.. These over the top suggestions remind me of the "weight loss tricks" threads.. How about eat less and move more? For colds keep it simple.. Rest Fluids Decongestant (Allegra D Claritin D or Mucinex D) Antibiotic if it develops into an infection (another option) Vaporizer to help the drainage pain
hydration man...gotta drink your water. i was able to go without any medications a month ago when i had a cold. i drank a gallon of water a day. it kept my temperature down and kept me from feeling like crap. also it keeps your secretions thin. the virus is gonna go through its phases and nothing is gonna cure it.
Interesting. So you just leave it in the microwave? Is it just the fear of that concoction that makes the virus retreat?
Best remedy, the second you suspect a cold coming on, take a 1000 mg vitamin C. (Seriously, if you wait a few hours your screwed) Then continue taking 1000mg at least 3 times daily. Drink lots of water all day. Continue until you are confident the cold is gone. I can't tell you how many colds I've staved off by downing vitamin C. I've got a toddler at home and my wife doesn't take the C pills and she gets sick twice as much as me. Instead of C pills, you can also take EmergenC or Airborne (which are both 1000mg of C plus other stuff). C pills is cheaper though.
