Try Zycam, its the cold product advertised on Rush's show. Hey, it might work. Feel better.

[Michael Goldsberry]

Get well, buddy.

Have you tried a Doctor?

(Or whiskey with honey?)

[Keith in Iowa]

Claritin-D, and, if you have a cough, sign for some of the cough syrup that has a bit of codeine in it.

[muggs]

Try Zicam, vitamin C, echinacea and cayenne (in a capsule). Might want to try some garlic also.

Hope you feel better soon.

[bluesagewoman]

Zinc.

[proudofthesouth]

Try taking some zinc capsules. It works for me. Good luck and hope you feel better soon.

[djf]

Make sure you get your zinc, it is essential for the immune system.

There has been alot of research on something called Beta Glucan. Beta Glucan is a carbohydrate found in the cell wall linings of yeast.

Turns out that if you eat the stuff (and it's totally non toxic), your immune system thinks you have a yeast infection and goes into absolute hyperdrive.

But don't try eating plain old yeast.

And when you get better try to stay away from sick people. Try washing your hands as much as possible and carry wipes for them. A lot of disease is actually picked up through touch rather than air.

[Ditter]

Sounds like your bad cold went into a bad sinus infection. See a doctor for antibiotics & wash your sinuses out with a salt water solution.

[afnamvet]

Crawl if you have to to your nearest pharmacy and get Airborne...comes in flavors and as an effervescent. It works.

[freema]

You need a hot woman to get you warm and a bottle of booze.

Then, you just won't care.






Seriously, I worked for a Hungarian MD who swore by booze.
Just don't drink with meds.

[George Smiley]

Yin Chiao Chieh Tu Pian (The World's Most Widely Used Cold Remedy)

It works best if you take it when you first start feeling symptoms, but it's good s--t nevertheless.

[Malsua]

Cold-eeze (another Zinc product as seen in these threads) works wonders for me and Mrs. Mal.

[Vicki]

Zicam. Been using this stuff for 4 years now and I swear by it. Always have it on hand and use it at the first sign of a cold. Haven't had a cold in a long time. Can't even remember the last time.

[shield]

Go to the health food store and buy several bottles of SAMBUCOL [Nature's Way] [whole food store has the best price for it]. It's best to always have it on hand, cause when flu, cold first starts that's when you've got to start taking it before that virus gets throughout your system. If you start on it now...even after the virus has gotten a foot hold...it'll still limit that old cold virus.

Buy the syrup w/out sugar.

[thoughtomator]

I have a bad cold right now too, I think my one-a-day vitamins plus lots of water and rest are helping, but it still sucks. Just try to keep your mind busy with something else while your body fights off the intruders.

[marmar]

When I was in Germany these past few months I had a cough that wouldn't go away. One day a German lady told me to take ginger spice (about a tablespoon size) and stir it into boiling water. Then add honey....a shot of whiskey and drink it. It loosens congestion...

[jazusamo]

Add 2 tsps. honey to a fifth of Jack Daniels and drink it. It won't cure the cold but you won't feel it. The following day, you'll have such a hangover you'll forget about the cold.

Seriously, hope you get to feeling better.

[bad company]

Try that new stuff called "airborne" . It looks just like a big tums.

[Dinsdale]

Tom Yam (Thai hot and sour soup).

Tell the chef Thai food is mild, (s)he can't make it too hot for you.

It'll clear that sinus problem right up.
