I have the entire day of Sunday to beat this cold. I need recommendations. I haven't felt this sick in forever.

emergen-C
zinc lozenges
plenty of water
sleep
This combination has knocked out MANY of my fiercer colds in under 36 hours.
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.
And for on the go, I use:
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.
lol
I knew i would sound that way.
Simple ass Chicken Soup. I take enuff drugs anyway.
Alcyhol high strength beer to kill those nasty cold germs.
a million vitamin c tablets followed by a massive shit
This is the shit for preventing a cold.
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
I love this stuff! you dont like its super tart 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.
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.
