I have heard that echinacea (sounds/said like ekinay sha) is very good. It has "immune enhancing abilities" apperently! Worth a go, i use it!

I'd say a bullet, but it's probably not too productive.

Do a lot of gargling with Listerine, lot's of Echinacea, ton's of Vitamin C, and make sure your air is a little humid. Bed rest is also good. That should do the trick!

Codral day and night are quite good for the symptoms, just don't mix them up. I lay awake an entire night, totally wired because of a mix-up. Didn't feel real good the next day.

cenovis make some vitamins for colds and flu that have echinacea, garlic, vit c and zinc and they work a treat, when i have a cold i take 2 about 4 times a day for a few days and a cold that would normally last me 2 weeks is gone in about 4 days.
and they can be taken everyday to ward of colds and flu as well, mind you i dont and only use them when iv got the cold.
works best if you catch it as soon as it comes on but even if ya dont will still help

Hey Ill let you in on a few remedies!
2 cloves of fresh garlic a day (in a banana sandwich)
3 table spoons of apple cider vinegar (dosent taste the best but kills all the germs in your throat)
1 teaspoon, 3 times a day, of organic honey (natural antibiotic) the honey must "NOT" have been heated in the extraction process, heating it kills all the benificial bacteria.
It works for my family. I rarely get a cold because I take the garlic everyday, you soon get used to it.

There doesn't seem to be a quick way to get rid of it once you have it :jesus But you can relieve it and let it run it's course

I'm drinking plenty of ginger tea with lemon in it right now...(I have a cold 🙁 )

Hot lemon drink with honey is an old but good one...take with
Aspirin helps break the fever...sweats it out!!!

Propolis is an excellent natural antibiotic...it comes in capsules

Echinea doesn't seem to work for me...I think you have to be taking before you get the cold...or to prevent getting it bad

Good luck....

Is the cold on the chest yet?

Not on the chest, trace has done the echinacia and spirilina and vit c in prep for op so that has helped it seems as though she is shaking it off. I just don't want the op to be put off......

echinacea is good but not once you have a cold.
it is suposedly used when you feel the very early onset of something.
once it has taken hold it is to late for echinacea.
though i may be wrong if anyone else knows better.



i say drink it out, 750ml bundy and a shot glass that'll fix it.
some people are like slinky's
they have no useful purpose
but they are fun to watch
when you push them down the stairs

I suggest 4 litres of orange juice per day.
sure it makes you sick and bloated but it works, then cut back to to litres per day afterwards

Once you have the symptoms of a cold, it is too late the cold already has it's hold !!!!!!! Best to let your body fight it off ...... Fever is also good a sign that your body is responding to the infection !!!!!!!!!

Just make sure you drink lots of fluids so that you don't dehydrate
