1. I take zinc lozenges as soon as I feel symptoms. |
|
For me at least, zinc reduces the length of the cold. :shrug:

2. I try to use the power of my mind... |
|
I visualize my body attacking the foreign invaders, eradicating the germs and beginning to glow from within with the warmth of healing. Yeah. And I'm always fucking sick.

|
to go. :hi:
Hope you feel better soon, lib'itch. :hug:

complain relentlessly, that goes without saying. ;)
Also drink tea with honey and lemon
This one sounds strange but works. Put Vicks in a pan of water, let it come to boil then put a towel over your head like a tent and breathe in the steam.
Make sure your hair or towel doesn't touch the burner of course. ;)

Very hot chicken curry, and lots of sleep.

10. I heard that if you medicate a cold, you can get rid of it in 7 days |
|
but if you don't medicate, it will last a week.
