Didn't know which board to post this in

So I have an event to go to tomorrow that I need to look my best for. I also have a cold coming on, (have tissue stuffed up my nostrils.) So what are your guaranteed cold fighting remedies? Feel free to post your nasty, home remedy recipes too, I don't promise to try them though kiss Help!

Take a heaping spoonful of Vick's Vaporub and drop it into a small saucepan about half-full of water. Heat until you have lots of steam coming off it. Stick your face into the steam (not too close - 2nd degee steam burns are NOT sexy) and inhale through your nose as deep as you can.

And if you have a sore throat, take a tablespoon of salt and mix it into about a cup of warm water. Gargle that shit for as long as you can stand it (and for God's sake, don't swallow). I all but promise that your throat will be feeling 99% better by the next morning. It's nasty as hell, but it works.

Sleep is good, as facilitated by Nyquil. Vitamin C, even if it's only psychological at this point. I think the standard advice is drink lots of liquids. Chicken soup... that might be psychological too, but it works on me.

Gosh. I have posted this before.

Make a hot cup of water.
Boil a squished lemon in it.
Add thera flu
Add tablespoon of honey (natural not processed)
One shot of captian morgans.
Drink fast.
Nap, Nap, Nap.
REPEAT.



This is very good advice, too. And you can even substitute the Captian for your clear hard liquor of choice, too. I prefer Jack in my cold-killing totties.

As much echinacea as you can get yourself to swallow at once. Deux said good things too.

if it's been less than 48 hours since you first started feeling the cold coming on, grab some cold-eeze zinc lozenges and suck on them. they work pretty damn well.

I did take a couple "Emergen-C" packets last night and today. Multi-vitamins too.
It's the Black and Blue Ball. I think we're doing some sort of performance. Thanks kiss

vitamins are processed differently in the body compared to fruit/juice. ummm.. maybe sunny delight, that isn't really juice or snapple... do you like pomegranate juice?

Someone once described Sunny Delight to me as "Satan's fruity piss."

I didn't quite believe them until I tried it. puke

I think their marketing campaign would be much more effective if instead of using the tired and obvious "Sunny D" moniker, they'd call it "Satan's Fruity Piss". I'd buy that.

Even after trying it and agreeing with my friend's discription, I probably would, too. If nothing else, I'd have an empty jar labeled "Satan's Fruity Piss" on my mantle. And that would kick ass.

i do believe apple juice has vitamin c. (I'm only like a 25% fan of apple juice. once when i was a kid in grade school, i got one of those cartons and it was all jelly like and junk in the box.) check the bottle. You should heat it up in the microwave smile biggrin smile


sunny d is just weird. that is all i'm saying about it. except this. they promote it as this great juice drink and shit, but it is only like 1% juice and the rest is like chemicals with 49 letters

juice, lots of water, rest, as much garlic as you can stand in your food, the more raw the better. You can only find this at health food stores and such, but if you can find it, frozen acerola fruit from sambazon has tons of vitamin C which is better than just taking supplements..

Drink orange juice, take plenty of vitamins, eat good food...like the healthy stuff they sell in that section of the store.
plenty of rest and a tea spoon of cocaine.

Orange juice. Constantly. Gallons of it. The stuff is amazing.
