1. Braiding Abbots.
I usually take NyQuil by the gelcap, wrap myself in a bunch of blankets and sweat everything out.

Works most of the time. :-)

3. Three Shots of Tequila
will kill many things that cause your illin'.
Or at least you will not care so much that you feel like dog poop.
That's my fave.
And a homeopathic wonder drug called oscillicoccum for the flu.

Hope you feel better soon.

Peace,
Teresa

5. Nyquil...
Edited on Mon Dec-01-03 05:04 PM by dolo amber
The nighttime, sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, how-did-I-end-up-on-the-kitchen-floor medicine. I recommend injecting it directly into your eyeballs for maximum effectiveness. ;)

ps--Robb is a dingbat. :P

7. Water. 2-3 gallons a day.
You'll pee that bug right outta ya. Well, maybe not, but it seems to work for me.

8. Whiskey, honey and lemon
soothes a sore throat, also by the time you finish, you no longer care. ;-)

Other than that, Theraflu works wonders.

13. Nothing beats NyQuil and DayQuil
Once you get past the gagging reflex from the taste, they work SO well.

15. Alka Seltzer Plus Cold!
I discovered it many years ago after major dental surgery.

The two narcotics prescribed did not work, so I opted for the Cold Plus.

The results were amazing! Kicked the swelling immediately and erased the pain.

Great stuff!
