Sure fire cold remedies?

Zicam. That stuff works wonders.

My family and I swear by Theraflu. Told a few friends about it and they swear by it now too.

If your cold/sickness becomes developed and starts affecting your sinuses then I'd also recommend using a Neti Pot (i.e. nasal/sinus flushing with salt water). It's a little weird at first, but it's amazingly effective. You can look up how to do it and it's also great if you suffer from allergies. It's also strangely addictive... I think I'll go do it right now!

I also use many of the remedies mentioned here. In addition I use colloidal silver and an herbal supplement called "Cold Snap". Both are more preventative (or cold shortening) in nature, but seem to work for me.

Must one fight an octopus for the Jameson?

Love me some Jameson Irish whiskey. :thumb:

For my birthday my best friend gave me a bottle of rye whiskey. We drank that and played chess ... for medicinal purposes only, I assure you.

I think the Jameson might be the best medicine for me now...it'd make me forget that I'm sick...

I think I'm just about over it though...I have been heavily dosing myself with Emergen-c, cold eeze & a lot of G2.

Thanks fer all the ideas guys and gals! :thumb:

Jameson, hot tea, honey and lemon.

Just like Sam said. Sweat it out. I usually knock colds out in less than a few days

I would go with what Sam said.

Brandy,lemon,and hot tea."Hot Tottie" is the name for it.

I'm never taking the flu shot or the H1N1 shot,not even for free.

For natural, buy some whole garlic cloves, roast them until they just turn color and throw them in soup. Drink plenty of orange juice. And lemon with honey in hot water. It will make you feel better in spurts as the body fights off the virus.

Zinc..

I also take a drop of oreganol a couple of times a day when a cold starts to set in. A cold usually never affects me for more than 4 or 5 days, even a chest cold.

Relief: equal parts honey, boliling water, lemon juice and brandy. Wrap up & sweat.

Prevention: daily ~ local bee pollen, 2000+ vitamin C, four raw almonds, cod liver oil caps, nasal inhaler

To help with problems in my throat sometimes I gargle some water with Cayenne pepper in it

[jc13]

funny how this thread popped up

I just took some Emergen-C right now.

[EddieMac]

I use Oregano oil and swear by it. It has never let me down. It is disgusting, however. Put about 5 drops under your toungue once a day when you feel a cold coming on. It kills it fast. It is good for sore throats, etc as well.

[notwithit]

I usually do garlic tabs and emergen c's
