Cold Cure

[TheStripey1]

My pal, John the Botonist, has kids... and his kids go to an elementary school where lots of other kids in varying states of health attend... IOW, a typical school...

well... JtB had a cold at our morning workouts on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday... ruh... and now, this AM, I awoke with the tell tale signs of the onset of a cold... a sore throat and some one turned on a faucet in my head...

I don't DO colds, generally speaking, as I'm quite anal when it comes to my health...

so...

What's your favorite cold "cure"?

1500mg of Vitamin C, daily.
Add hot Pepper sauce to your meals.
Warm Liquids (soups, etc).
Rest.
Water. Lots and lots of Water.
1 shot of Jack before bed.

Thanks dmp... it doesn't hurt to learn what folks in other parts of the country do for their colds... which is why I started the thread...


Here's what I used this am upon rising... I learned this from an herbalist 20 years ago...

1 tall glass of orange juice
1 TBL Olive Oil
2 crushed and chopped raw garlic cloves (yes, raw)
1 tsp cayenne pepper

stir and drink...

also: no coffee, no tea, no booze...

I wouldn't avoid booze.

Whenever I'm sick with a cold, my moms chardonnay is part of my "fluids" routine. That, organge juice, and water.

Makes you relax a little bit and usually gets me in the mood for drinking a shit load of water.

dmp was right about the vitamin C too...


Has anyone tried Zicam? I heard it doesn't work but I wanna try it...
