Re: I have a cold
Take a little dry red wine and warm it up in the microwave. An italian friend of mine recommended that when I had a cold a fe months ago. Knocked it right outta me, and I hope it will do the same for you!

Re: I have a cold
The maxim "feed a cold, starve a fever" may be right after all, researchers have discovered.
Until now, most doctors and nutritionists have rejected the idea as a myth. But Dutch scientists have found that eating a meal boosts the type of immune response that destroys the viruses responsible for colds, while fasting stimulates the response that tackles the bacterial infections responsible for most fevers
Hope you feel better!

Re: I have a cold
Go to a health food store and ask for ..SAMBUCOL....cost $13-$15. Its like a cough syrup, and it will keep cold and flu virus from spreading and mutating. Of course best to take it at the onset. But it works great for colds and flu viruses.

Re: I have a cold
looks like you will be getting much better real soon with all the good advice you are receiving. you might be able to gaurd against future colds by taking 1000 miligrams of vitamin C each and every day. also (and im sure you already know this) wash your hands frequently, especially when you have been out in public. get better soon!!

you're definitely not thinking clearly Samms my dear.
we men may go thru a monthly thing but it surely requires more than a finger...now, on the other hand.( pun intended)..women can "put a finger on it"...

Re: I have a cold
Thank you everyone.. for all your kind thoughts. Still sniffling, but hey it's only a cold. Been rubbing my chest down with Vick's vapor rub at night, taking extra vitamin C, and bought Sambucol, it's all working well.
