Hi
I woke up this morning suffering from nasal drip. I'm starting to suffer from a scratchy throat. I think by tomorrow morning, I will have a full blown cold. Sad

If you have any great ideas, please post ...

For the nose, a snort of diluted hydrogen peroxide in both nostrils and two drops in each ear.

For the cold, drink a lot of quality vodka and lie in the hottest bath you can handle for as long as you can. Get out, drink a lot of water and sleep hard. The alcohol in the bloodstream combined with an increase of body temperature helps body to fight off pathogens, it's like inducing your own fever. It seriously works but you won't find doctors telling you this because binge drinking isn't exactly harmonious for the body.

Make a minced garlic, honey, echinacea(sp) and lemon drink. Drink hourly, tastes like ass though.

Cold gone!

1) As much orange juice and herbal tea as you can drink.

2) As much vitamin C supplements as you can take with out getting diarrhea.

3) Raw garlic, sliced, doesn't have to be chewed. I have some then lie down/sleep so I don't have to deal much with the stomach effects. 2-3 cloves 2-3 times a day. Your sweat and bathroom activities will smell bad for some time.

4) Fresh ginger tea with honey if necessary for symptoms.

5) Use your humidifier. Make sure it's clean, then set it on high.

6) Take care of yourself, rest, eat something you enjoy that will make you happy.

7) Green tea and ginseng may help as well.

Hope you feel better!

Ginger tea won't help stop the cold, nor will it make the cold go away any faster.

But hot d*mn if it doesn't clear up your nasal passages and make your throat stop aching.

Face bath.

You want boiling water, add a chamomile teabag, then hang your head over the hot water, with a towel drape over your head. Have lots of tissues handy.

Breathe in through you mouth and out your nose.

This will clear your sinuses.

Hot baths

Hot liquids: soup, tea, even just hot water. Everything you drink... hot. This messes up the virus' reproductive process.

Oranges. The sweeter the better. Let this be the only cold stuff you eat/drink. Feels good.

One of those medicated hot lemon-flavoured drinks with a shot of gin before wrapping up warm and going to bed.

You'll sweat like a pig and there'll be lots of laundry to do next day, but you'll feel better.

How does "lots of laundry to do" factor in?

Hi Everybody
Thanks for the advice...

I been taking Tiffy and I just had one of those medicated hot lemon-flavoured drinks.

My nose and eyes are runny, but at least I don't feel acky anymore.
Noow to get some rest because tomorrow is the start of a winter camp in a p.s. that uses gas stoves instead of electric heaters. Crying or Very sad

No help now, but see about getting someone to send you some echinacea for next time. As soon as you feel a cold coming on, some of that, orange juice and as much sleep as you can, and the cold will be a whole lot less severe

Go to the sauna and sweat it out.
