| Shaggy User Info... | Echinacea. - Tue, 14 Nov 2006 4:22pm | ||
| Hang the DJ User Info... | I try to avoid things like Nyquil + Sudafed and all because they kind of have a rebound effect.. Echinacea and Vitamin C usually work the best, but if the cold is in full effect then sometimes that's not the case. Drink tea.... or something... that helps... chamomile (best tea on the planet).. I dunno.. Zinc works for some people... Just don't buy that chewable Vitamin C and Zinc stuff because it tastes so good. I bought a pack of 30 and they were gone in about a day... No wonder my cold got worse. Other than that, suck it up until the cold peaces the scene! - Tue, 14 Nov 2006 4:38pm | ||

| KnifeGhost User Info... | Oil of Oregano is like liquid magic. - Wed, 15 Nov 2006 12:59pm | ||
| mica User Info... |  Oil of Oregano is a bacteria killa. But, keep in mind that it kills the good bacteria just as thoroughly as it kills the bad bacteria. So, make sure to take some kind of probiotic as well - or eat a lot of balkan style yogurt. - Wed, 15 Nov 2006 2:18pm | ||

| Indole derivative User Info... | Honestly, i've always found marijuana to be top notch for a head cold. Stuffy nose, tight raw and raspy throat, headache, and generally unplesant sickness apathy, is turned into normal nose, normal throat, head without ache, and pleasant stoned apathy. I used to be quite the stoner, now I try not to smoke it most of the time, but it always makes being sick a lot more berable. Codiene and other opiates are good for gettin colds outta ya and not just coverin up symptoms. Forget how exactly it works, but does something to get it outta ya. For some thats a home remedy I guess, i have bottles of codiene lyin aorund, you may not. sleep. Sometimes I sleep for days when I get sick, sometimes I still go to school and work. When I sleep for a few days, i find i get better a lot faster. Thats my advice with colds. - Wed, 15 Nov 2006 6:50pm | ||
| KSuga User Info... | I find the marijuana makes my brain waaaay more confusing. More cloudy. But still good at covering up symtoms. I have been taking Cold fx... and it seems to be doing the trick.... still have some cloggy but no soar throat :) Sleep tends to work, though sometimes i just dont have the time tooo do that... work and school... :( BOOOOO must get better for weekend..... - Thu, 16 Nov 2006 12:35pm | ||
| ROSS B AY User Info... | Booze. Seriously. Booze. - Thu, 16 Nov 2006 4:03pm | ||
| dumpstermesh User Info... | This is weird. I posted my thing on this about Oil of Oregano b/c it's the shit. The post is gone. I didn't delete it. Any answers for me? - Thu, 16 Nov 2006 10:31pm | ||
| lonemonk User Info... | I've tried almost everything mentioned so far, but (for me at least), Sleep has always been the only thing which actually works. Sleep cures many things. More importantly, I've found that if someone feels a little bit weird, immediately phone in sick, stay in bed (ALL DAY), take something to make you sleep; and in general you can avoid weeks-long illness. Caught early enough this helps a lot! I also agree with the weed and alcohol suggestions, but I suspect that I am simply predisposed to enjoy those remedies! . . Lastly, if long lasting sickness sets in, NEVER avoid going to the doctor or clinic. I've almost died on two ocassions by not wanting to go. . Btw: Dumpstermesh: I saw your post the night before last. - Thu, 16 Nov 2006 10:41pm Edited: Thu, 16 Nov 2006 10:42pm | ||
| ScottL User Info... | Count me in with the Oregano. That shit hurts the hell outta your mouth, which really says something about what its doing to the bacteria! I hate the smell of regular oregeno now though! I've been using it for about a year and its great - Fri, 17 Nov 2006 10:48am | ||

| dumpstermesh User Info... | Thanks for mentioning it lonemonk...as least now I know I didn't dream that shit up. Sleep is soo necessary, that's why I sleep for 8-12 hours/day. It's a preventative!!! - Fri, 17 Nov 2006 9:31pm | ||
