How To Get Over A Cold Fast ?!

Advice anyone ?

Number of things U can do -

1. Chicken soup
2. Brandy mixed with warm water and black pepper powder
3. Warm water with black pepper powder and honey - keep drinking

Put zinc in your system in heavy doses (won't hurt you) ... and a cold will be gone within 24 hours.

Warning though ... zinc will dehydrate you, for the reason it works is because it dries up your fluids, to include the cold mucous .. so, you have to drink, and drink, and drink ... and then drink some more.

thanks everyone

Hold your breath. I'll let you know when you're cured enough to inhale.

Actually YES

Fluids, Fluids, Fluids and more fluids. Specifically Vitamin C and if you can tolerate it, Cranberry juice over Orange juice.

Echinacea has proven... to do absolutely nothing.
Zinc - still studies showing it has some effectiveneses but thats in combination with "fluids fluids fluids"
Cold-Eze - Has zinc. More so effective to make you feel better while you have the cold rather than reduce the duration
Airborne - Actually has some effectiveness but HAS to be taken in the very early on set of signs and symptoms. A lot of Airborne is just Vitamin C along with its other ingredients so this incombination with "fluids fluids fluids" will substantially reduce the colds duration.

""Echinacea has proven... to do absolutely nothing.""

LOL

Why does everyone always say "Chicken Soup"
What does that do?

Dogsbody,

I honestly think the real medicinal part of it is that since its water based, it goes back to just pushing fluids in your body and with most of the "pain" experienced with a cold is the actual just the misery of it, the soup is just really damn comforting lol

I usually just sleep it off, if I can.

well if thats the case then any flavoured soup would be good then :-)
are you allowed to have croutons in it?

Hot, strong (good quality) green tea with honey and lemon can take off the edge ..
