I've been using echinacea for several years.
It really does cut the duration of the cold.

Colds easily turn into Bronchitis in me, so I do all I can to nip them in the bud. Years ago, I found the trick. When I feel the slightest tingle of a cold coming on, I take Soloray Echinacea Root with Vitamin C & Zinc. Two in the morning and two in the evening. Two capsules have 500 mg of Vitamin C, 10 mg of Zinc, 850 mg of Echinacea (Echinacea angustifolia and Echinacea pupurea)(root), 50 mg Citrus Bioflavinoid Complex, 10 mg Hesperdin Complex (from lemon), 10 mg Rutin (from Buck Wheat), and 10 mg Rose Hips.

This tactic has worked to ward off or at least severely soften the blow of at least six colds over the last several years. I swear by it.

My prescription for not getting sick is plenty of cigarettes and ocassional 6-pack or two. I have only missed 4 sick days of work in 10 years, 2 of those were for an elective operation.

Use of echinacea, or extract of the purple coneflower, before the onset of full-blown symptoms of the common cold reduces the incidence by more than a half and the duration by almost two full days

Yep, we have used it for years. We also drink Boneset tea when we have a cold or the flu.

Over the counter Saw Palmetto Herb(in geltabs) WORKS, for me, for prostate pee'ing problems.. and its totally natural.. Beeen working for about 12 years.. I stop using it and the problem comes back.. Start up and it goes away more or less.. I don't pee like I did when I was twenty but then I'm not as Smart, Now, as I thought I was at twenty either..

It's a relatively common herb. Just grow some if you want to.

Colloidal silver is also an excellent anti-bacterial and anti-viral treatment.

I feel that herbal type remedies are going to be the next wave in health care....
I stumbled upon a penny stock (xkem) that makes a herbal supplement that reduces the symptoms for Sickle Cell sufferers drastically.
It is really getting the attention of the medical and big pharma community!
