The common cold

[Pvt.Dirt]

Hey I thought this would be the right place for this thread. I have this nasy annoying cold and I was wondering besides in store medicines, what can you do to help get rid of a cold?

[Cylon]

Getting the proper amount of sleep each night, drinking plently of fluids (namely water), and eating right (meaning 3 meals a day, no crap such as snacks counts as a meal). You might want to take it easy as well, don't run yourself to your body's limit (meaning try not to run around or go out too much in one day).

Aside from the medication that the docotr can give you for congestion or whatever, those things listed are the most important, and are a common thing to do for any sickness.

Smoke a bowl. It fixes all problems, including the common cold.
:grin:

Yeah, I have a pretty bad one as well. Although I think its hay fever, due to my vicious allergies. Cylon pretty much got it right, but he forgot to mention to eat vegetables and or fruits. They help you without me saying what the benefits are.

For the running nose problem, just eat a spoonfull of horseraddish sauce. It will make your nose run for about 15 minutes, but it will clear it all out.

Taking a " One A Day " Vitamin daily is a good way to ensure that you hardly ever get a cold.

Eckanasia ~ I think thats you spell it....... I hear from all my lady friends that this is one of the best remedies and this stuff flies off the shelves. Very popular around me.

The effects of a cold only last 1-3 days ( for me anyway ) , so I just do shots of Whiskey or Jager , casually ( key word CASUALLY ) through the day. You don't need to be falling down drunk just enough where you don't feel the effects of the cold.


If your underage listen to your mama and eat your Flinstones .

It's echinacea

I have a weak immune system and I get colds all the goddamn time. Mine usually clear up in a week or so. I just sit in my room, drink plenty of green tea, eat "light" foods, and blow my nose in the sink instead of with tissues to avoid irritation.

Thanks for the spelling correction .......






I actually had a mild cold yesterday and went to go see NYC Hardcore band " Murphy's Law " live in concert. The lead singer Jimmy Gestapo was pouring Jagermeister into everybodys mouth from the stage, I got my fair share. After several Jagerfall Shots and several laps around the Mosh Pit, the Cold was defeated.

Yeah, I dont know about that. I would buy the fresh ground stuff open the lid a take about a ten second wiff, instead of eating a spoonful.
