Someone gave me some of this Sambucol (a homeopathic remedy) last winter when I was starting to feel like I was having cold/flu symptoms. I started to feel better within a day. After recommending it to several others, all of them came back saying the same thing. A bottle sells for around $12 and is worth every penny.

i havnt heard of the grapefruit seed oil or the emergen-C, but as for the other 3...

it obviously depends on wether you have a virus or not, virus' are self-limiting, in other words you can only work on the symptoms and just wait for your body to defeat it.

WATER WATER WATER! and Sleep as much as you can.

And fresh air is great for speeding up a recovery as well, so keep a window open.

hope you feel better soon bro.

Ask any Canadian... This shit will do you right!!!





And for on the go, I use:

batmon

I dont get sick that often but truthfully I think alot of that shit is mental. Yes your body has to get rid of the invader but "remedies" really just mask the symptoms and dont kill the invader.

my silly little superstition

Growin' ip in dirty nyc has made me immune to alot of common cold germs. Ridin the trains and grabbin' the mucus/chickengreased/fecalmatter smeared subway handles has helped.

When in Peru I was hanging out with a 'watchman' He works all night walking in the cold and humid Lima streets so he had his magic recipe to kill colds. At first i was sckeptical but I tried it and it worked incredibly, one night..one time

Two extra-strength 'black' Halls tablets
Lemon or Lime
Soothing tea/camomille (herba luisa is recomended)

Simply enough you make your tea and lime juice and melt in the halls tablets. Drink it down and go to bed while the vapors take action.

The next morning you'll be good as new

good luck

pomegranate juice (tastes horrible)

I love this stuff! you dont like its super tart goodness?

JustAlice

get yourself some Whiskey or Bourbon preferably Makers Mark ( for its spicy goodness )

Boil some water, throw in some lemon and honey, cloves, hazelnut the water and the booze.

You will feel a lot better almost instantly! Sleeping wont be a problem at all.

residentgiant

lots of this



When I'm sick I load up on curry, red pepper, really any kind of spicy food that gets me sweating and my nose running. All that stuff has anti-viral/microbial chemicals and gets your blood flowing, and keeps obnoxious coworkers at bay with the dragonbreath.
